Today on the Mercedium Stretch we interview two of Toronto’s most creative brothers Jack & Koal Harrison. Jack specializes in animation while Koal produces music, and they’ve recently combined their talents to work on a video game called Bounce. With Jack heading up the visuals and Koal crafting sounds, they share with us the process of creating such a complicated project. We talk about some of their earliest collaborations, how to get through creative disagreements, and play lots of tracks with Koal’s secret sauce. Live, Tuesdays at 2pm, only on CIUT 89.5FM.
