MICROWORLDS: The Avant Garde Episode
04.10.24

MICROWORLDS is a musical talk show hosted by Rusty Santos. Guests from the underground and the overground alike discuss music, select songs, or perform live with a focus on psychedelia, including genres like indie pop, psychedelic pop, rave music, post-punk, progressive and glam rock, underground hip hop, and experimental music.

Last week I made my first solo album ‘The Heavens’ available to stream for the first time. To commemorate this I focus on the Avant Garde and weirdness in music, I play a couple songs from ‘The Heavens’ but also new works by artists such as Olivia O, Claire Rousay, sign crushes motorist, and classic works by stars of art and music like Björk and Aphex Twin. I also discuss the “concept of concepts” in music.
