Joshua Krause

What is art? Can art be anything? Are “creative professionals” artists? When is the best time to be creative? Joshua gives us his answer to these questions and much more.

We also talk about what’s happening to the art world; Joshua Tree; Death Metal; and that “fighting, struggling, joint-breaking, soul-testing, spirit-breaking, humbling, “mother-effer of a puzzle” known as jiu-jitsu.

How is jiu-jitsu a puzzle? What role does the ego play in jiu-jitsu and art? What happens during ego death? Listen in for Joshua’s take on these questions and more.

A few of the many things Joshua talked about in this episode include:

DJ Shadow
A Tribe Called Quest
Lurker of Chalice and Leviathan
VI
Deathspell Omega
Joshua Tree National Park
The Integratron
