Sounds Curious Podcast

This week we explore the limits of consciousness and the potential for human transformation through music and psychedelia with theorist, scholar and Ph.D. student Claire Rebecca Bannister(Kingston University, London). Our conversation takes us from the Goth club to the depths of the rainforest, from late capitalist spiritual consumption to the heart of tribal relations-making. We unabashedly explore the connections between musical repetition and achieving altered states of consciousness, all the while challenging the notions that psychedelic and gothic musics have little overlaps. We also introduce our "news of sound" segment at the opening - keeping our intrepid audience caught up on the latest news affecting sound in culture.
