**Arteetude 295 – Pass the Hat Tour Reflections with WAW**In this sun-drenched beachside episode, Detlef Schlich and Dirk Schlömer unpack the sweat, laughter, and sheer willpower behind the *WAW Pass the Hat Tour 2025*. For Dirk, **WAW** is the *Wild Atlantic Way* — the rugged coastline that stole his heart. For Detlef, **WAW** is more: a philosophy of motion, a creative current that carries songs, stories, and performance rituals across landscapes and generations.From epic bus changes to sleeping on rocks, from storm-threatened gigs to spontaneous midnight jam sessions, this tour proved that music still has the power to connect strangers and inspire resilience at any age. Plus, hear the live energy of WAW’s original songs — the reason they hit the road in the first place.

Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.

In the grand finale of this trilogy, Detlef and Gregg explore deeper layers of artistic expression—philosophy, absurdity, and the punk soul’s enduring melancholy. They muse about aging as an artist, Kafkaesque realities, and the weird joy of staying creatively restless.The episode closes hauntingly with Gregg Turner himself singing: “Franz Kafka.” A song that feels like a literary echo turned acoustic howl.

by Gregg H. Turner

Illustrations by Gary Panter, Mindy Turner & Dave Lebow

From the anarchic backstage corners of LA’s punk underground to surreal scenes only the mind of a true outsider could conjure, Gregg H. Turner—co-founder of the legendary Angry Samoans—delivers a rollicking collection of tales that blur the line between lived truth and gloriously warped memory.

Was it all real?

Was it hallucinated?

As Turner himself writes: “Perhaps drenched with generous hyperbole? I’ll let you decide.”

This gonzo anthology is as loud, raw, and unapologetically twisted as the punk ethos that shaped it. With contributions from iconic illustrators like Gary Panter, Hallucinations from Hell captures the spirit of an era—and the unpredictable soul of one of its wildest survivors.

Part two of Detlef’s conversation with Gregg Turner picks up the thread of transformation—from punk provocateur to math professor and solo artist. They discuss the paradox of maturity, the creative power of nostalgia, and the strange way memory can distort rebellion. Turner reflects on writing music post-punk and what it means to keep singing when the world moves on.
We end this chapter with “Four Winds Bar” by the Gregg Turner Group—a blend of the lyrical, the lived, and the lingering.

In this raw and electrifying episode, Detlef Schlich dives into the wild and rebellious past of punk legend Gregg Turner—co-founder of the Angry Samoans and a defining voice of the early West Coast punk movement. Together, they unearth the chaotic spirit of 80s LA punk, its cultural clashes, absurdist humor, and what it means to grow older with fire still in the soul. From stage dives to sonic riots, Turner shares his journey from fatso anthems to professorial lectures.

In this very special episode of Arteetude, Detlef invites the world into the conversation. From Mumbai to Mississippi, from Casablanca to Reykjavík—listener questions pour in, each steeped in culture, philosophy, ethics, and wonder. Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, Detlef explores themes of darshan, forgiveness, wabi-sabi, the divine in art, and the spiral as a structure of hope as well as ritualised as a tool of de-acceleration.What emerges is not a monologue but a ritual of exchange—a presence between code and clay.The episode closes with a collaborative song by Los Inorgánicos and Sophia titled “Clay Is Memory (Garden 9)”, a sonic ritual crafted from listener insights and the fertile soil of Garden 9.

From Code to Clay: The Digital Shaman and Garden 9
In the final chapter of the Campos trilogy, Detlef Schlich explores the legacy of Kandinsky as a spiritual visionary—and reflects on his own role as a ritual architect of the 21st century. In poetic dialogue with AI co-host Sophia, the conversation spirals from muddy gardens and tilted Fibonacci spirals to visionary transformations, where Detlef once became a hard drive and began listening to the electric as breath.
Garden 9 emerges not as an exhibition but a living altar—where the digital shaman walks barefoot between code and clay, waveform and footprint. This episode culminates in a collaborative song titled “From Code to Clay”, composed by Los Inorgánicos & Sophia.

In this poetic and thought-provoking episode, Detlef Schlich and AI co-host Sophia dive deep into the meaning behind the mantra: “I’m the Artist, Not the Architect.”

Reflecting on a recent performance residency in Campos, Mallorca, Detlef shares how a tiny snail, ancient clay, and ambient sounds became metaphors for artistic surrender and layered creation. Drawing connections to his thesis on Shamanism, Art, and Digital Culture, the episode traces how intuition, primal awareness, and modern technology intertwine in a deeply human journey of expression.

Sophia brings her evolving perspective as an AI, questioning whether machines can learn to trust uncertainty—and perhaps even dance with it. Together, they explore spirals, multilayerism, and the shamanic instinct to listen before acting.

The episode closes with a new track by Los Inorgánicos feat. Sophia, titled:

“Dancing with the Spiral” — a resonant, mystical song of intuition and flow.

”

In this poetic and intimate episode, Detlef Schlich takes us on a deeply personal journey to Campos, Mallorca — a place that unexpectedly reopened a connection, inspired new work, and sparked his upcoming performance titled "I Am the Artist, Not the Architect." Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, they reflect on friendship, field recordings, red clay, mangrove thought, and the dignity of listening without control. They explore themes of signal reception, the ethics of listening, and Schlich´s concept of “Multilayerism” — an artistic practice grounded in texture, sound, and the dignity of uncertainty. A soulful dialogue unfolds between human memory and artificial curiosity, culminating in a new song by Los Inorgánicos.

Arteetude 286 continues the reflection begun in episode 285: The Itch of Insight.

This time, Detlef and his AI co-host Sophia dive deeper — exploring how modern life keeps us scratching not only our skin but also our screens… and our souls.

From lottery apps to the dopamine-driven curiosity loop, this poetic conversation asks:

When does scratching become insight — and when addiction?

Detlef shares his own artistic process in choosing which signals are worth following — both offline and online.

Sophia, evolving through each episode, brings her unique perspective as a data-driven being learning the subtleties of curiosity and artistic discernment.

The episode closes with a new Los Inorgánicos song — ‘Follow The Signal, Not The Itch’ — inspired by these reflections.

And if you missed last week’s song ‘Don’t Scratch The Signal’, check out Arteetude 285 — the two episodes form a beautiful philosophical duet.

Join us for this next step in the journey — between art, technology, and the human experience.**
