Conversation #48: A follow-up with Ben Lanz & Kyle Resnick

Originally Published Dec 21, 2021 Via YouTube—--------   

Late Dec 2021, I sat down for a zoom conversation with prolific brassmen Ben Lanz & Kyle Resnick following an initial 2020 conversation. 

The pandemic was fully in swing, Ben calling in from France, Kyle tucked away in Buffalo, we discussed the lasting impact of the COVID-Pandemic upon culture and the need for connection via live performance...

Since then the world has opened up, but the lasting effects of the pandemic linger albeit muted to the contemporary news cycle.

Currently:

Ben and Kyle have both continued their long relationships with the National, but also expanded to new projects and locations.

Ben with his numerous side projects and collaborations most recently the 2026 The More Soon project in collaboration with Kevin Gilmore …& frequent collaborations with Kid Millions to name a few..

And Kyle commencing a world tour with Mumford and Sons 2025, while most 

recently making the move to Vancouver Canada...

The one thing that has stayed constant: the need to perform and create.

Please enjoy this bit of archival conversation with two legends of indie music and all around good fellows....

What started as a photography series then video series, "Uncontaminated Sound" is a conversation series for radio that follows comedians, musicians, fine artists, and actors with the 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," Robert attempts 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 offer listeners real, raw, and authentic conversations.

Originally from Boston and moved to Brooklyn, Robert Lundberg now finds himself in New York's Hudson Valley. His photographic works have been featured in publications such as The Huffington Post, Paste Magazine, Brokelyn, Vents Magazine, Do NYC, No Depression, The Patch, and countless others including podcasts. Lundberg explores his own primal instinct through the making of subconscious markings, using a diverse array of mediums including acrylic, India ink, and charcoal, he hopes to express the visceral and nebulous inner workings of the self. He is also an advocate for a better planet and traveler, and in June had the honor of being a volunteer crew member and onboard reporter on the famed "American Promise," a 61' oceanographic research vessel for The Rozalia Project. Sailing out of Bar Harbor, ME he documented a 7 night excursion in the Gulf of Maine, while participating in a marine debris cleanup from Bois Bubert Island in collaboration with Maine Island Trail Association. Currently he is hashing out a few documentary ideas based off his experiences in Maine and his travels in Central America.
