Canal180 x Pitchfork Midwinter

Historical paintings met contemporary music in Chicago, during Midwinter. Set in the Art Institute of Chicago, the works of Vincent Van Gogh, even if only with one ear, were able to listen to the very distinct sounds from Sudan Archives to Kamasi Washington, Yves Tumor to Deerhunter, Slowdive, Tortoise or JPEGMafia, just to name a few. This film is the result of a chat with Elia Einchorn, Pitchfork Radio curator, in which Elia describes what makes Midwinter so musically rich and unique, and why the Chicago music scene has blossomed like it did.
