I visit Ana Gutieszca in her studio in Helsinki, where she gives us a listen through her electronic music gear, and talks about her love of noise and drum machines. We also take a look at her animal drawings, and she explains how she turns her drawings into sound by using the electric conductivity of graphite and her own custom-built devices. We discuss the aspects of time and flow in music making and performance settings and share anecdotes of stage moments and musical realisations, and Ana tells about her personal history with music, from playing instruments as a child to her discovery of electronic music. We also talk about facilitating culture and running underground venues, and I realise that Ana was a founding member of Third Space (a former mini-venue in Helsinki).

The intro sound of this episode is an excerpt from Ana's track The Book of Repression and the outro sound is her track Instincts.

There are some low bass frequencies in this episode that you will only hear in headphones or with real speakers.
