Navigating Unknown Musical Terrain with Mappe Of (July 2025)

Tom Meikle (aka Mappe Of) is a genre bending vocalist, guitarist, and electronic musician. We explore the layered, emotional worlds behind his music and discuss his upcoming album Afterglades which will be released September 19. Recorded at Catherine North Studios, Tom’s creative second home, Tom opens up about his creative process, from guitar-forward songwriting to glitchy modular synth experimentation, and even building glitch textures by importing .exe software files into Audacity (yes, really!). Whether you're a fan of ambient guitar, high-concept sound design, or just want to hear two Radiohead nerds discuss Kid A, this episode is a headphone worthy ride through some of the most inventive and heartfelt music being made today.
