Acousmatic Crossings on the Rejected Religion podcast
Last May I did a 52 minute interview on the wonderful Rejected Religion podcast. Stephanie Shea was kind enough to ask me on so I could introduce this music to her audience and share my thoughts and suggestions on how to listen to it.
It’s geared to be an introduction to the space but it also dives a bit deeper than I normally go in the live diffusion sessions we do on Metapsychosis because I added a bit of history. In the program notes I also share a very short curated list of recommended listenings. These recordings (all available online at bandcamp) represent my entry point into the space over 35 years ago.
Time and time again, I come back to these works and they never get old. Each listen is an adventure that is new, fresh and always surprising. The Acousmatic space is quite large, while at the same time being a miniscule niche in the wider world of music. Hopefully these few suggestions can act as kindling to ignite further explorations.
So, come for the chat, but stay for the curated list of music. Hope you enjoy!
