Brooklyn-based songwriter/keyboardist Aviv Goldgeier is the driving force behind the group Valipala, whose sound he refers to as “prog-soul”.

[This episode features the bubble EP in its entirety.] Acclaimed singer/songwriter Aviv Goldgeier is a mentor and friend of Aviv’s. I previously interviewed Gabriel on Episode 180: Visit Valipala online: TALK MUSIC TALK GoFundMe Campaign: As with many creatives, I was laid off from my day job due to Covid-19 at Strand Bookstore. Fortunately, I’ll be able to collect unemployment and will be able to return to my job once everything returns to normal. However, bills and rent still have to be paid. In the meantime, I’ll continue to produce episodes of my podcast, Talk Music Talk, which incurs editing costs. I have several interviews that were recorded prior to social distancing and I’ll be releasing over the following weeks. Additionally, to continue to be creative (and maintain my sanity?!), I’ll be recording special Instagram Live Interviews plus remote interviews with guests. Instead of viewing this time as negative, I’m choosing to find the silver lining in staying creative.
