As 2022 quickly comes to a close, we could not be more excited to bring you an interview with Landlines Art. Barely an episode passes where we do not reference at least one Landlines project, so suffice to say we are huge fans of his work. We cover a broad range of topics with some especially interesting conversation about how Landlines thinks about edition sizing and the market, and how fx(params) will play into future releases.

Plus, a music recommendation!
