Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Pete Widin is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Under the one-man band moniker Oatpod, his electro folk and grunge-inspired craft is solidified through long walks in nature, as well as elaborate dreams centering around bands and artists performing fully arranged pieces, which serve as the basis for his original music. While amassing an already prolific output comprising both band and solo efforts, Widin considers his latest single, “xtngwsh,” his first true musical undertaking, as it fully takes advantage of the production aspect, and represents the catalyst for his pursuit of music in a professional setting.
This afternoon, I caught up with Widin, who was open to doing an interview. Alongside our discussion of Widin’s latest single, we also touch upon his upcoming material, how his formative years shaped his background as a naturalist and ecologist, maintaining patience amidst hurdles in the creative process, and ultimately, the takeaways within his music career thus far.
