Is there a science to making music? Well, Chicago’s Mittens on Strings may not go as far as saying that, but they are marrying left and right brain processes to create their art. The band met up with music critic Althea Legaspi to explain. Mittens on Strings’ new album Let’s Go to Baba’s is out now.
