In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. In 1989, at 10 years old, I discovered Daniel Lanois’ Acadie on cassette in my mother’s car. That album opened something in me, a discovery that still shapes my work today. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Andrew Manze, Jaap Ter Linden, Richard Egarr, J.S. Bach: Violin Sonatas Daniel Lanois, Goodbye to Language Radiohead, Kid A Andrew Manze's J.S. Bach Violin Sonatas showed me time is three-dimensional. Daniel Lanois’ Goodbye to Language proves artists must risk change. Radiohead’s Kid A remains a landmark in studio production and sonic reinvention. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Interzonal Transit” For me, Interzonal Transit is a threshold piece. I placed it first on Weird Studies Vol.1 because it opens onto the podcast’s world — a passage across ideas, disciplines, and zones. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? What’s left on my bucket list is simple: to keep evolving, to keep creating, and to keep making albums that surprise me—and hopefully, listeners too.
