Episode Description

Andy Bell, celebrated for his work with iconic guitar bands Ride and Oasis, takes us on an unexpected journey into the world of electronic music. We chat about his latest project, Glok, and the new album "Alliance," crafted alongside Timothy Clerkin. Ride's early '90s shoegaze influence is unmistakable in his electronic creations, making for a fascinating blend of past and present musical elements. This episode touches on Andy's humility and creative spirit, offering a fresh perspective on his evolving musical path.

Our exploration of minimalism uncovers its surprising role as a common thread across diverse musical genres. Navigating personal music preferences often led to the term "psychedelia," yet it is minimalism that for him truly ties together interests ranging from post-punk to ambient sounds. Conversations about Ride's reunion reveal insights into how cultures and eras influence each other, emphasizing a continued evolution of sound. The authenticity of past musical revivals is questioned while finding genuine connections in minimalism and transcendence.

A transformative recording session in 2012 marks the beginning of Andy's electronic music journey, as he shares experiences with software and effects. Creating music during lockdown led to a serendipitous collaboration with Timothy Clerkin, highlighting the unpredictability of remote music production. We reflect on the influence of Andrew Weatherall and the tracks born from this unique partnership, with "Empyrean" standing out as a testament to Glok's sound.

“Alliance” by Glok and Timothy Clerkin is out now on Bytes and available here.

Explicit Lost & Forgotten Worlds C Wilson Trull Lost and Forgotten Worlds is my podcast about one of my favorite hobbies, Role Playing Games. As you listen, we hope to take you on an adventure through the golden age of RPGs; when Dungeons & Dragons was a young game, only contained within a few books. When the miniatures, cast from lead, scattered across the table top. When the world bore witness to fantastical games like Rolemaster, Psi World, and Star Frontiers.Join me as I take young adventurers through the games of high adventure, mystery, and drama. Through the land of Two-Moons. Pilot clockwork ships through the luminiferous aether. Do battle against the minions of supervillains before they take over the city. If we're lucky, maybe we might have time to stop for a pint at the Vulgar Unicorn (but please try not to get stabbed). Now we wont always stick to the games from my youth. But to truly know where we're going, we must first look back at where we began.Welcome to the Lost and Forgotten Worlds podcast. Explicit
