Episode description

We work hard to make sure our music doesn’t just complement our voices, but actually tells a story all of its own. Now that our 4th Season is complete, as per usual, we’ve compiled all the original music that went into it, and we’re releasing it as an album. This year, that album takes the form of two companion volumes.

Volume 1: Electrical Storms by Sunfish Moon Light

Volume 2: Sympoiesis by thumbug

Of course we're not responsible for all the music you hear on our show. We've borrowed tunes from so many truly great artists, often connected thematically or geographically to the content of that specific episode. You can discover each of them, and support their work at futureecologies.net/music

Adam Huggins

Hey, folks, it's Adam. And if you've been listening to our show for a while, then you'll know that we work really hard to make sure that our music doesn't just complement our voices, but actually tells a story all of its own. Now that our fourth season is complete, as per usual, we've compiled all of the original music that went into it, and we're releasing it as an album. This year, though, that album takes the form of two companion

volumes. Sunfish Moon Light is my musical alter ego, and you can hear all of my compositions for the fourth season of the show on Volume One — Electrical Storms. As you may have guessed, though, thumbug is mendel's musical alter ego. And this isn't exactly their debut, since you've already heard their tunes peppered across Season 4. But they've given me the go ahead to officially dispel the mystery, and they've compiled and curated a year of their own sense jams into Volume Two — Sympoiesis.

You can listen to and download both volumes for free, or pay whatever if you really want to, via Bandcamp. You can even use them for any non commercial purpose on the condition that you give credit and share it likewise. Find the link to both albums in the show notes. Of course, we're not responsible for all of the music that you hear on our show. We've borrowed tunes from so many truly great artists, often connected thematically or geographically to the content of that specific

episode. You can discover each of them and support their work at futureecologies.net/music. Finally, on a personal note, I feel hugely privileged to not only be able to share these stories with all of you, but also my music. It feeds me in ways that even the more-than-human world cannot and pushes my own artistic practice in directions I would never have imagined... on deadlines that favor creation over perfection. I'm so pleased that mendel has

contributed a volume of their own music this year. And I really love how each of our personalities and approaches to these stories are captured within these sounds. You're listening to one of their pieces right now. So we hope you enjoy this double album. Thanks for supporting us, and as always, thanks for listening. We'll be back in your feed before too long.
