Calder recently completed his PhD in Music Theory with his dissertation “Tactus Transformations in Metal.” He currently teaches music at Columbia and Fordham in New York City.

Temporary Autonomous Zone with PICTUREPLANE

Musician, fashion designer, and visual artist, PICTUREPLANE (aka Travis Egedy) has made a major name for himself over the past decade in the outer limits of global pop culture. His music engages industrial dance, gothic hip-hop, and emotive New Age, while his clothing line, Alien Body, serves up a stylized study of symbology, the occult, and societal decay. We talk about ontological anarchy, DIY spaces, 1990s optimism, Witch House, and Travis' friendship with Lil Peep. 👉 Many thanks to my patrons!

Hard-Panned Stimming with Uboa

Uboa is the musical vehicle of Xandra Metcalfe, who has spent the better part of a decade dipping into every corner of heavy music. From harsh noise to dark ambient, to glitch, to doom metal, Uboa's eclectic approach to dark music has led her to become a cult figure, particularly online. I talk with Xandra about her extreme compositional and mixing techniques, autism, parasites, Freud, dehumanization, and unwinding your bowels. 👉 Many thanks to my patrons!

Of Runes and Love with Sean Ragon

Sean Ragon has been active in industrial, and experimental music communities for over fifteen years, and in DIY punk in general going back to the 90s. He’s primarily known as the frontman of neofolk collective Cult of Youth, which triumphantly returned from a long hiatus last year. Sean also makes electronic music as Venerence. He’s deep in the culture, and his contributions over the years have been truly original and widely respected. Sean and I talk about runic yoga, Asatru, attempting to remain apolitical in polarized scenes, being married by Genesis P-Orridge , Cult of Youth’s comeback album, “With Open Arms”, and why Sean had to flee America to Berlin. Buy Cult of Youth's recent double LP 'With Open Arms' : https://hospitalproductions.bandcamp.com/album/with-open-arms 👉 Many thanks to my patrons!
