Angel Marcloid is the composer/multi-instrumentalist behind Fire-Toolz, some of the most beautifully difficult to pigeon-hole music around today. We talk vaporwave, ancient mysticism, gender, jazz fusion, nu-metal, and her wholly unique and colorful artistic realm.

Adam Kalmbach is the man behind Jute Gyte, a prolific and utterly iconoclastic experimental black metal project, which has garnered a true cult following. We talk about Adam's use of microtonality, his approach to compositional form, and some of the broader philosophy and historical touchstones behind his vision.

Joan is a prolific and unique visual artist, and makes occultist electronic music as Temple ov Saturn. We talk about modernity, the sacred, nature, and pornography.

Dave Davidson is one of contemporary metal's premiere electric guitar stylists, the leader of the highly popular band Revocation, and an in-demand educator. We talk about what it means to be a virtuoso, Dave's love of the work of Cornel West and HP Lovecraft, his new project Gargoyl, and the disintegration of the universe.

Dennis is a young, prolific musician from Detroit, a producer, songwriter, and vocalist, who makes hard-hitting electronic music under several aliases including OLMS, White Christian Male, and THEDROVE. We get into connections between psychedelic and goth music, David Tibet, lobotomies, and the Peter Pan syndrome of coastal elites.

Josh Strawn is a musician and writer, whose projects over the years have included post-punk and industrial bands such as Vaura, Azar Swan and Blacklist, as well as writing about politics and culture for the Daily Beast, Bust, and Talkhouse. I talk with Josh about the aesthetics of goth music, the thought-worlds of Nick Land and Mark Fisher, and approaches to writing lyrics.

Improviser/composer Jeremiah Cymerman is a New York fixture, working primarily with clarinet, electronics, and the studio. He's also the man behind the 5049 Podcast, which has been quite influential within experimental music circles. He joins me to talk about the fabled New York "Downtown Scene", radical Jewish culture, and our near future as musicians under COVID-19.

Txgen Meyer is a brilliant young theorist and artist. We talk about Sun Ra, Afro-pessimism, Afro-futurism, numerology, as well as Deleuze and Guattari's concepts of the Refrain and trans-coding.

Barrett Avner is a very serious political theory head, wholly unusual personality and thinker, and the host of the Contain podcast. We talk about faith, dis-identity, Alexandr Dugin, trolling, and the figure of the dandy. 

Jamie Stewart, the incomparable mastermind behind the legendary experimental post-punk band Xiu Xiu, graces the livestream with a lovely chat about the ethics of telling other people's stories, a drama-filled tour we did together years ago, and power dynamics in homoerotic contexts.
