Episode Description

Ever wondered how an artist balances authenticity while pushing the electronic music boundaries? Lara Jones, the London-based experimental producer, saxophonist, keyboardist, and lyricist, opens up about her creative journey and how her music has evolved from the ambient sounds of her 2020 EP "Enzo" to the more club-oriented beats of her latest release, "Divided EP." She candidly shares her thoughts on the importance of allowing her music to grow with her interests, the challenges of maintaining authenticity, and how her identity shapes her creative process.

Lara reflects on the emotional toll of the pandemic and the joy she found in touring her EPs. We explore the changing landscape of the music scene post-COVID, the rise of online collaborations, and the shifting attitudes towards live events. Lara's journey in creating her new EP is a testament to her desire to connect with her audience through a more community-driven approach, all while embracing a raw and varied vocal style inspired by artists like Lorraine James.

Lara delves into the realities of making do with limited resources and unconventional spaces, emphasizing the importance of a flexible and fluid creative process. We discuss the unique dynamics of recording versus live performance and the ephemeral nature of live shows. Lara also shares the significance of her latest ambient project, designed for a geodesic dome installation, showcasing how her previous works continue to evolve.

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
