EPISODE 16: Dead C Atmos (a.k.a the couples show) w/ Catherine Debard

We are joined by the magical and sylvan Catherine Debard, artist known as Tenses, Ylang Ylang, 1/2 of Mue, and many other great pieces of the Montréal tape underground.

Fruits everywhere. Cushions. Luxury. A lot of drums.

Quarantines are broken:

Girls play guys music. Guys playing girls.

An awful YouTube doc on ‘unrecorded mysterious sounds’. What is Netflix missing? Definition hiding in unexpected places:

Dense air, dead horses, radioactivity.

Who’s going next down the waterslide? It all feels like momentum at the end.

The eternal music? Sing along with your appliances and the world is a better place. The harmonics change. It speeds up and slows itself down.

And where are we now physically? Colorado—trying to wrap ourselves around space. Yet things start bubbling in the back. It’s really jarring.

We're starting fresh: A series of beer caps strung together at the end of a broom handle. A raw condensed emotion. There’s a lot of space. It might go off the rails. What ARE people doing today with their charming MIDI sound palette and their post-prog attitude?

You’ll get the point in 10 minutes. I don’t know what to say. “of which of which it's of then which is it not that’s." It's almost a sports feeling. I think it’s the best feeling.

James Schidlowsky invokes the greatest corrugaphone performance of all time. You get glazed over. It's like falling down the stairs but you get hooked on it. Stories are nice but sometimes you need microclimates… situations with stuff going on, just playing it out. It shouldn’t logically be able to end.

It’s a glazing.
