2 a.m.: FFFoxy Podcast: A Line in the Sand On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast (#39), we delved into the latest collaborative endeavor from a core group of artists that have been long-time favorites of ours on the show: Nathan McLaughlin, Joe Houpert, Cody Yantis, and Josh Mason. For the past two years, they have been working on an ambitious series of releases under the banner A Line in the Sand that encompasses a range of artists, labels, formats, and mediums, all in an effort to foster a sense of community and to create purposeful music and art together. While all of these guys have collaborated together in some capacity prior to this, we had a chance to interview each of them – together in pairs as you will hear – to find out what distinguished this project from others and what the creative process was like throughout. We were also fortunate enough to get to speak with Chris Koelle, the talented artist/illustrator that contributed the elaborate portrait drawings and overall design to tie things together visually for each of the releases.
