Smell, Sound and the Wireless, with John Biebel

06/25/21 • 58 min

In episode 12 of Perfume on the Radio, perfumer, writer and artist John Biebel joins us as guest host. Much creative dialog focuses on the cross section of senses, or where sensibilities meet, inform, and guide each other. Such is the case when sound interacts with smell. Join us as John takes us through his evolving relationship with sound and how it relates to the generative process of making perfumes.

The Doors of Perception

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science” said Einstein. And this week we ask ourselves: what lies on the fringes of human awareness? What do we miss when we focus only on the obvious? This week’s episode explores practices, stories and experiences that lie in the outer limits of human perception, from trance states to witchcraft, from hauntings to abductions to sensorial trickery.
