Episode 7: Baader-Meinhoff blues

Episode 6: Astral Collapse w. Christof Migone

Renowned sound-artist, theorist, and professor Christof Migone joins us for the long haul down the Toronto–London xpressway. Everyone records with actual microphones. No spacesuits. No fishtanks. Just words and music.

Confessions. Absolutions.
Men who can’t see far enough.
Young cousins wake suddenly, speaking perfect Polish.
Moths swirling around a lightbulb.
100% nocturnal, until the electric Bozambo dawn .

Above all else: Godard.

Episode 8: The good things, you put too much of it w. Olivier Borzeix

Transversal musician and Esoterik kin Olivier Borzeix, whose venn diagrams scantly overlap but go deep regardless, joins us in today's episode. Henry Flynt is identified as the central node of all astral collapse. Leroy Jenkins appreciates the sun city girls but he doesn’t understand them. Lamonte Young almost kills someone dear, but a small dose of possession does an internet affected body good. James Tenney, erotic film star, tortures violinist's fingers.

The internet connection changes quality. You can’t stop it. Chrome kills as a source of band names.

Content warning: Balloons!!

Overall moral lesson:
Don’t just sing when flexitone virtuosity can abound.
