Wendy and Lisa are a musical duo that met playing with Prince and the Revolution in the 80s. They then worked on albums together and scored TV shows like the NBC series Heroes. They join us to talk about composing an original score for a new production of "The Fall of the City", the 1937 CBS radio drama.

Dear Wendy and Lisa

Fantastic interview. Score sounds beautiful. Another masterpiece from Coleman & Melvoin!
Awesome interview Wendy and Lisa, the new score is chilling!!!! Another masterpiece created!!
They are my Beatles! I LOVE THEM!
Wendy and Lisa are seriously talented musicians who deserve complete respect. I'm surprised these women aren't in the Rock and Hall of Fame. Their time is NOW!!!
Great interview. Their new album, White Flags of Winter Chimneys, is beautiful. A truly beautiful album on par with XTC's Skylarking or Joni Mitchell's Blue. You can stream it from their website.
Great interview, gorgeous sound for that radio play and brilliant new album 'White Flags Of Winter Chimneys'!
You are my favorite barnacle ever! :D
The Fall of the City is a groundbreaking piece of work and Wendy & Lisa's score, even by the small glimpses we got from the interview, is perfect, gorgeous and does great justice to the radio play.
And, speaking of groundbreaking pieces of work, I'm now having wild dreams of Wendy & Lisa scoring Neil Gaiman's "Sandman"...
Thank you for this great interview! Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman are truly two of the most underrated musicians out today.
this is a great interview. i wish i was in NYC for this. the score sounds amazing. WNYC, will you make the music available?? please!! check out their new record.

Would be great if Wendy and Lisa could team up with Prince again.
