In this episode, Connor chats to Dots+Loops 2022 Composition Fellow Jen Hankin (she/her) aka The Emerald Ruby ahead of the premiere of her newly commissioned piece "H4lt The Hustle, Frolic 4va" at Dots+Loops NONSTOP 2022. We discussed the surprising and hilarious limitations of making music with Nintendo Gameboys, her genre-hopping fascinations, and her many MANY bands including the one she describes as "Evanescence but better".

Dots+Loops is held on Jagera and Turrbal land. We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners and pay our pay respects to Elders past and present. First Nations communities have been creating and sharing music, art and culture here for thousands of generations, and we recognise the important ongoing contributions they make to our music and arts scenes. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

This project is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts; the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland; Creative Partnerships Australia through the Australian Cultural Fund; and our partners Cre8tive Nations, Simply for Strings, Gasworks Recording Studio and the University of Queensland School of Music.
