In Conversation with Jacob Kirkegaard
Jacob Kirkegaard joins us for a highly interesting discussion on birth, death and what goes on in between. Jacob’s recordings of the death process “Opus Mors,” is a new level for sound capture and we get into the thought and process behind this work. We also talk about his recordings in Chernobyl, waste management facilities, glaciers, geysers and much more. We can’t thank Jacob enough for taking time out of his trip to have this conversation.
Government Alpha – Erratic
Pure Japanese harsh noise was called for this week, so what better cassette to dig into than Government Alpha “Erratic”?

At times unsettling, at other times brutal, and at all times astonishing, “Erratic” is a high mark for 90s noise. Fall into the vortex with Government Alpha.

A thoughtful conversation with an fantastic artist, we can’t thank Suzy enough for sharing her experience.
