There is a time to dance: 004 w/ Ben Mall & Wesley
In this episode, I invite my friend Wesley (music connoisseur and lover of Tabi's) to dive into some of our favourite songs. We discuss the importance of listening-in-full, the storytelling power of chords, and Japanese mountain monkeys. Mostly rich ambient soundscapes with the odd sprinkle of SA jazz, grunge and techno.
