As you know, I’ve been rather obsessed with the music of Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and that obsession doesn’t seem to be fading anytime soon. 

So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that Tim Story, who joins me on this episode of the podcast, played a major role in creating the remarkable record that’s captivated me lately — 90.

 

To make that album, Tim sifted through over 100 hours of unreleased material from Roedelius’s archives — a monumental effort that resulted in this stunning compilation of tracks. I was fascinated to hear about the process behind it all, and equally happy to speak with Tim himself — a wonderfully charming and generous man, as well as a longtime friend and collaborator of Roedelius.

 

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
