This episode features my conversation with Gordon Mahn as we discuss his journey of listening to a new album every day for the past year, his sprawling plans for a series of novels inspired by music and visual art (Project Qaos), and the musical overlaps he has with members of his family, plus a lengthy tangent about foreign language music. The episode ends with an analysis of my song “Cave” and in particular its sequel, “Synthetic Desert.”
