Community and In-the-Moment Creation with Andre Cataldo of Dear Genre

Posted on by Leave a comment

Andre Cataldo is the creative force behind Dear Genre, a St. Louis-based musical project that blends elements of shoegaze, rock, Americana, and more. Dear Genre just released their new Sounds // Silences EP, which presents “songs that already exist” in a different light. The project was recorded live at the UMKC Conservatory in Kansas City.

Andre walks us through the creative process, tells us about the St. Louis music community, and gives us a preview at what’s to come.

Given the time of year, we shouldn’t be surprised that we’ve received a bunch of Valentine’s Day — and anti-Valentine’s Day — submissions recently.

You’ll find a lot of those below. You’ll also find a nice multi-genre cross-section of where things stand in the world of independent music, as we journey from hip hop, to soul, to Americana, to rock throughout the course of this 20-song volume.

This is, without question, one of those “something for everyone” weeks of UMC20. Get after it!
