Ep 79 // ISABELLA ROSSELLINI
August 01, 2022 16:52 - 1 hour - 144 MBAs her voice rises and falls through rhythmic intonations, ISABELLA ROSSELINI takes ARMAN through what it was like to grow up in the spotlight and forge her own path. Not only a famed ACTRESS, AUTHOR, FILMMAKER. MODEL, and SINGER, but also an ECOLOGIST and ANIMAL BEHAVIOURIST, ROSSELINI meets us where she is most comfortable: her Bellport, New York farm. This magical place, she says, brings her ‘closer to the earth center.’ Distinguishing her hens by the sound and pitch of their clucking, an...
Ep 78 // DANIEL ARSHAM

Having dreamed up THE ATTICO together in September of 2015 and officially launched only FIVE MONTHS later, they embody a living example of the potent reality shifts that occur when total commitment to a dream is made. In TORDINI’S own words, she puts it best - “If you’re 100% sure of what you’re doing, and you have a strong idea - DO IT.” Having eac...

July 08, 2022 17:04 - 44 minutes - 102 MBThrough music, we’re able to find each other. ‘MUSIC IS CALLING TOWARDS RESCUE.’ SEUN KUTI joins ARMAN in London. CHARISMATIC, CONVERSATIONAL, and FASCINATING - KUTI touches on the most important choice we make as humans: the commitment to make decisions in alignment with what kind of human you want to be. Calling to the youth, he explains why a real artist makes this choice - to create art that’s elevating. With this responsibility, there’s no room for the patronising, commodifying, or low...
Ep 75 // KHRUANGBIN
June 30, 2022 15:53 - 1 hour - 145 MBWhether they’re hunting for records in the underground of a Seoul arcade, recording new music in an empty barn in the middle of a Texas bird sanctuary, KHRAUNGBIN is a real ORIGINAL. LAURA LEE and DONALD JOHNSON (MARK SPEER unfortunately not present) join ARMAN to discuss what makes a band burn a LONG, SLOW BURN. It’s all about feeling the music, - it becomes clear, as JOHNSON describes one day on a whim deciding to give Kool & The Gang’s SUMMER MADNESS a run through. That song, now a part...
Ep 74 // LUDOVIC DE SAINT SERNIN

Bonding over a bottle of champagne, LUDOVIC and Arman go through it all: fashion, Paris's burgeoning party scene, what being masculine means in 2022, the role music plays in his creative process, DJ'ing for his friends and what erotica sounds to him. Known for his genre-defying collections, LUDOVIC is very adamant when asked what masculinity means to him: "MASCULINITY TODAY IS ...

June 16, 2022 18:47 - 54 minutes - 125 MBIt’s sunny in LONDON - which makes it the most beautiful place on earth. The birds are singing, and ARMAN has the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely as she is chic CAMILLE CHARRIÈRE. After changing careers from becoming a lawyer, CHARRIÈRE describes how living in London ‘gave her wings’ and taught her she didn't have to conform. On experiencing the ART OF TOLERANCE, Charrière celebrates sweet individuality. In her own words, she says "music is a language in itself - we all have our ow...

Ep 72 // CHRONIXX
June 12, 2022 13:15 - 1 hour - 157 MBCHRONIXX and ARMAN sit down in Paddington to discuss SOUND WARS IN THE SONIC WORLD, Bob Marley’s poetry which is only intended to be heard with a discerning ear, as well as the spontaneous combustion of innovation that is DANCEHALL MUSIC. In his own words, Chronixx sets it straight: “MUSIC IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER ART. WITH MUSIC, WE’RE MANIPULATING THE INVISIBLE.” Growing up listening to gospel, 1980’s dancehall, reggae, and even Céline Dion, CHRONIXX is refreshingly unconcerned with followi...

Tuning in from the leafy suburbs of Glendale, the boys use their well-honed cultural commentary skills to go through their character defining musical choices. But make no mistake: in classic HOW LONG GONE fashion, each choice is infused with the nonchalant ease that CHRIS and JASON have already accustomed us to. Be it JASON makin...
Ep 70 // THE BLESSED MADONNA
May 20, 2022 16:40 - 1 hour - 171 MBTHE BLESSED MADONNA invites Arman to Hackney to dive into her fantastic repertoire. Referencing APHEX TWIN’S WINDOWLICKER, she describes her idea of the POWER OF CONVENTION: “Using convention shows people what world we’re in. Breaking convention shows people where the possibilities are.” INSIGHT comes naturally to THE BLESSED MADONNA; this duality of perspective she takes by not frowning upon, but instead BREAKING THROUGH convention applies beautifully to both the way she creates and the mus...

Bonding over a love of Mozart, KALKBRENNER mentions he was a terrible instrumentalist as a child, having learned and suffered on the TRUMPET. The KEY to this experience, however, was that he never let it deter him from pursuing music. He may be one of technos biggest superstars, but the biggest thing that defines his career? TENACITY. In his own w...
