Tune in for an audition from Robert Lundberg of his proposed show "Uncontaminated Sound" featuring Gail Ann Dorsey.

Gail Ann Dorsey (born November 20, 1962) is an American musician best known as a bassist, session musician, and vocalist. She regularly performed with David Bowie from 1995 through his last tour in 2004. Aside from playing bass, Dorsey often sang lead vocals during live performances, notably taking Freddie Mercury’s part on "Under Pressure" and dueting with Bowie on songs like "The London Boys" and "Aladdin Sane (1913–1938–197?)". She also accompanied Bowie on clarinet for select pieces and collaborated with him on a cover of Laurie Anderson’s "O Superman." Dorsey’s style blends rock, funk, country, and pop influences. She describes her sound as a modern take on AM/FM radio tunes, influenced by The Fifth Dimension, Olivia Newton-John, Bread, and Heart.

Guided by artistic desire and tremendous curiosity, Robert Lundberg has become a highly regarded photographer and filmmaker lauded for his innovative and versatile documentaries covering music, comedy, art, and film. After spending his youth in Massachusetts, Lundberg moved to New York where he could more actively pursue a full-time career in art and film. An individual who is always seeking out the next artistic challenge, Lundberg chose to pursue one of his most ambitious projects when he launched his documentary series entitled Uncontaminated Sound – The Interviews; the counterpart to his photographic series. The series follows comedians, musicians, fine artists, and actors with his primary objective to gain a particular insight into their creative processes which can only be fully unravelled by truly going behind the scenes. With Uncontaminated Sound, Lundberg’s attempt is to offer an intimate look into all of the rarely seen or known “little things” that take place during interviews and other similar social and private interactions with artists and performers. These features are often unduly edited, offering viewers only individual, preferred moments that are often heavily vetted by producers and editors. But that’s not how Lundberg chooses to go about his work. His chief endeavour is to bring you all of the real, raw, authentic conversations moments that you would never otherwise have the opportunity to experience and enjoy.
