Vinyl Williams and His New album, "Aeterna"

So what if it’s a nickname? When people refer to you by the name Vinyl, there’s a reason why. Of course, it also happens to rhyme with this week’s guest's legal name - which is Lionel - and you’ll find out the origin of this nomenclature by just staying tuned in. Lionel (Vinyl) Williams is a California based musician who has created an impressive body of psychedelic work and he has just released his seventh album, Aeterna. Like his other albums, this one explores the inner (or, maybe outer) reaches of his auditorily psychedelic vision which stretches quite far, and that shouldn’t be surprising, because he’s got some excellent familial genes to rely on: his parents were both musicians and his grandfather also happens to be John Williams. Yes, that John Williams. So, join me and Vinyl as we talk about musical subgenres, the influence he’s received from his musical family, how he approaches the recording process and his lifelong trip of musical exploration and experimentation.
