013: 'Over 20 Years of Tape Hiss!'
12/04/19 • 74 min
In this week's show, we talk to the Portland-based Inter-disciplined artist and musician Marcus Fischer. We talk favourite equipment, tape, OM1 and his wonderful Journey on the way to the Whitney Museum of American Art. We stop off along the journey to talk about his time at the Rauschenberg residency. Here he explored lots of different creative mediums, whilst forming his tangibly deep album 'Loss'. A great show to listen too!
