Songs of Our Lives
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Carlos Giffoni! To me, Carlos is a legend, so it was great to have him on the show. His new album, “Pendulum,” is full of great collaborations (Zola Jesus, Ben Chasny, Greg Kelley, Mabe Fratti, Lea Bertucci, & Iggor Cavalera), and really shows the range of […]

So much of Manja Ristić’s work reshapes my perception of environments and landscapes, and the sonic imprints they leave on us. Lisboa is a unique entry in her vast catalog, born from wandering freely through the Portuguese capital without predetermined paths or agendas. The sounds here feel tactile, almost physical in their presence. Gentle city […]
Interviews
Tiers la Familia has spent years refining an approach where kindness becomes the most confrontational stance possible. The Love Synthesis is a wide-eyed, blurry romp fueled by shaded synth beds and electric rhythms. This music is vulnerable but still aggressive, underpinned by a real softness. Sefyu “Joe” Sidney and crew (Cheryl Kingan, Jeff Tobias, and […]

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Geologist! For decades, I’ve loved the sound of the hurdy gurdy, but I’ve never heard it used like Geologist uses it on his new solo record, “Can I Get A Pack of Camel Lights?” If SST put out a hurdy gurdy record in the late 80s/early […]

Welcome to 2026 you massive survivors. I think we all deserve a pat on the back for getting through 2025 and a shot of something to kick off the imminent shit-storm that is 2026. I thought I’d start the year off with a mix I spent most of the last few months putting together. Jazz, […]
mattie barbier has spent years interrogating the spaces where sound and structure meet. Their work reveals what can be found beyond the reach of conventional playing. Two recent recordings, the solo work Is This The Land I Wish Death To Find Me and RAGE Thormbones’ (their duo with Weston Olencki) tilth soil, capture different aspects […]
The first Capsule Garden of 2026, here we go! As we prepare for a potentially monster snowstorm this weekend in Tulsa, I’ve been listening to a lot of excellent tunes. I’ve also been mixing and mastering a lot of equally excellent tunes (if you would like me to master or mix your album, or help […]
Sonya Belaya’s Dacha holds generations in its hands. The six-song cycle channels lineages through sound, carrying the weight of generational trauma in visceral, embodied form. Written during the first winter of war, the album weaves Soviet feminist poetry, bard traditions, and Eastern European folk songs into compositions that refuse easy categorization. There is a spectral […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Sam Wenc! Sam’s new record, “Language At An Angle,” is the first under his own name. We talked about that, the processes behind it, and how it feels performing the work. Then we dig deep into the trenches with the multitudes of Okkyung Lee, Susan Alcorn’s […]

Victoria Pham has spent over a decade building a living archive of planetary acoustics as an archaeoacoustics and bioacoustics researcher. She’s developed access to voices most of us never consider: the hum of fungi stretching through soil, the exhalation of forests, the evolutionary lexicon of animal communication systems. Her debut album COSMOSIS takes these field […]
