Creating blueprints, whether for notes or for scaffolding the steady erection of buildings, needs a skilled architect. Fortunately, Whitney Tai is the best of both worlds. An architect by trade and a musician by choice, she crafts tales that transport us to places we didn’t even know existed.
Whitney Tai sat down with me to offer a view into her upcoming album, American Wasteland, ahead of its release on Sep. 12, 2025. At the same time, we discussed the importance of nature in the creative process, the difference in approaching creating buildings and songs, our similar approaches to creating art in different mediums and so much more.
Tai’s music is available on all major streaming platforms, and you can check out her previous albums, Metamorphosis and Apogee on Bandcamp as well.
