The Melt is a podcast that incapsulates all of the experiences that fall outside of the spectrum of consensus reality. Whether these be drug, paranormal, or religious experiences. The Melt values the lost importance of first hand experience. Not everything can be quantified, measured, or repeated in a laboratory. Some things only happen in a spontaneous and immediate fashion and are not subject to repetition on demand. There is a vast expanse of phenomena that Western society and it’s institutions don’t see as valuable or worthy of exploration. The Melt does. The Melt wants to hear your stories and wants to tell your stories. The Melt seeks to not only be a place within which to do that but also where we will talk to other experiencers, people who study these experiences, and people who write about these experiences. The Melt’s tenets: 1. Cognitive Libertarianism 2. The Importance of Firsthand Experience 3. Ontological Anarchy 4. Critical Thinking 5. Process 6. Real-time Magick 7. Bou...

    Musica Universalis | Sofie Birch

    Welcome to another podcast from The MELTiverse called Musica Universalis! It is a podcast that was created to explore numinous music. Mysterious music. Transcendent music. Otherworldly music. Relax and enjoy. Sofie Birch is a sound performer who works with vibrational tools to transform, heal, and enchant our perception of Life. Every month, she hosts the radio show Ambient Abracadabra on NTS—a sound collage featuring listeners’ secret adventurous sound creations alongside excerpts from podcasts on natural medicine, spiritual work, and mysteries. Sofie has more than ten years of experience producing music for theatre, film, and art installations, and has received beautiful recognition for her work through awards, prizes, and reviews. Sofie travels the world with her creations, both as a solo performer and together with her otherworldly friend, Antonina Nowacka. She also runs a sound studio and big garden with her partner, Anders Christophersen, on a small island far away from Copenhagen. At the core of Sofie Birch’s practice is an ongoing inquiry into spirituality, perception, and interconnectedness. Her work unfolds where artistic practice, inner inquiry, and the intelligence of nature meet. Nature is both source and collaborator in her process. ​Her second home, on the island of Fejø, serves as a place for deep work and reconnection, while her interest in flower essences and natural medicine evolves alongside a meditation practice she carries with her everywhere. ​With a background in sound design and electronic music, her practice extends beyond sound alone. She works with sound as a sensorial and energetic material, while also engaging with visual and spatial elements such as costumes, stage design, and varied listening environments — from acoustic settings to multichannel systems. ​​Her work offers spaces for presence, deep listening, and subtle transformation, supporting a conscious and curious collaboration with the life force energy.

    Peter Ulrich | Dead Can Dance and the Potential of Music

    Hunter and I had the unexpurgated pleasure of speaking to the former drummer of one of our favorite bands since the mid-'80s, Dead Can Dance. Peter Ulrich joined us to talk about his book "Drumming With Dead Can Dance and Parallel Adventures," which describes how he crossed paths with Brendan Perry & Lisa Gerrard from the band, his experiences while in the band, and his life afterwards. What makes Dead Can Dance's music so important is it's ability to transcend all musical genres whilst utilizing so many within their music. They take music and artistic expression to a new level. It is the pop music of metaphysical philosophers, anthropologists, and astronomers.  Order the book straight from Red Hen Press: https://redhen.org/book_author/peter-ulrich/ Or order it off of our bookshop.org reading list here: https://bookshop.org/lists/episode-related-reading/edit   Find The Melt on… Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2365404 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMeltPodcast Check out our merch at: https://the-melt.creator-spring.com/   Music by The Godawful Joy: https://thegodawfuljoy.bandcamp.com/releases and Matt Presti: https://www.mattpresti.com/music.html
