Episode 159: Mariusz Duda Talks New Lunatic Soul Album

My guest for this episode is Polish composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Mariusz Duda (Riverside, Lunatic Soul) about the upcoming Lunatic Soul album, The World Under Unsun. It's the first double album for Lunatic Soul (the name under which Duda records his solo albums). Despite being a double concept album, he keeps the length manageable, and Mariusz was kind enough to tell me about the new record, the story that underlies all of Lunatic Soul's recorded work, his influences and background, his songwriting approach, his concept of genreless music using a variety of musical styles, and much more.
