Talos on the dance of solitude (Season 5 Finale)
Manage episode 350802354 series 3250820
It feels so fitting to me that we get to kiss season 5 goodbye with a friend of mine from Ireland, the incredibly talented Eoin French (aka Talos). A supremely talented individual, Talos has achieved international acclaim by creating these soundscapes that transport you elsewhere. Brilliant at experimenting with various electronic textures, beats and arrangements, it’s wild how he’s figured out this sweet spot between being abstract and direct with his music. A major theme of his music is embellishing contrasts, which he’s done so effectively on his latest body of work, Dear Chaos (which is out now). Naturally we chat about his works, but a lot of this episode centers around how personal art is by it’s very nature. Eoin is someone who deeply cares about the human condition, and with that he evokes so much of what this series is about; how we can learn about ourselves by trying to learn about those around us. In Eoin’s case, Dear Chaos is a body of work that was born in solitude but fostered by collaboration (including a mutual old friend of ours, the legendary Lisa Hannigan).
Season 6 of the podcast will be coming at ya May 2023, BUT don’t worry, there’ll be some special (and wildly different) bonus episodes coming February 2023. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out (especially on Spotify).
