While his new Charlie Parker original graphic novel CHASIN’ THE BIRD has been pushed back yo October, you can still scratch that comics/music mashup itch with this March 17, 2017 talk with cartoonist/musician/professor Dave Chisholm.

Dave Chisholm may not have been in the comics industry long enough to achieve the ‘rock star’ status of someone like Jim Lee or Paul Pope, but in terms of creating both comics AND music, he’s a band apart from just about every other creator out there.

When you write and draw your own graphic novel, compose a companion jazz score to be released simultaneously WITH that graphic novel, AND have another full-length album of music from Talking Under Water, the rock group you front being released around the same time . . . what other label is there?

Decide for yourself after listening to this interview, where Greg talks with Dave about process both musical and sequential, the difficulty of getting the essence of sound across a silent medium, and more. Where else could you hear talk about Frank Quitely, Kevin Nowlan, and Brian Eno in the same discussion?

And if that wasn’t enough, you can hear of clips “Celebration” and “Death and the Narrator” (from Instrumental‘s upcoming score) in the episode itself, PLUS the full “Celebration” track below!

And as another bonus, here are the two other non-“Instrumental” pieces of music mentioned in the episode:

“Tossing and Turning” from the Tossing and Turning EP by Talking Under Water

“Calligraphy” from Calligraphy by Dave Chisholm

Greg Matiasevich has read enough author bios that he should be better at coming up with one for himself, yet surprisingly isn't. However, the years of comic reading his parents said would never pay off obviously have, so we'll cut him some slack on that. He lives in Baltimore, co-hosts (with Mike Romeo) the Robots From Tomorrow podcast, writes Multiversity's monthly Shelf Bound column dedicated to comics binding, and can be followed on Twitter at @GregMatiasevich.
