The Music Folder #16 Shackleton

Interview by Gaetano Scippa, 5/11/2024

The Music Folder is a talk series, curated by Archivio Storico Ricordi, which investigates the intersection of music, memory, and arts.

In this episode of our podcast series The Music Folder, we are delighted to host English electronic producer Shackleton, in conversation with music journalist Gaetano Scippa.

This dialogue delves into the creation of psychedelic soundscapes and trance-like rituals, exploring the power of repetition and polyrhythms as elements that seep into memory. Together, they discuss the uncalculated drive to overwhelm the listener, the sound sources that have shaped Shackleton’s personal archive, and the art of sampling. The conversation also touches on the significance of collaborations, as well as the role of technology and AI in shaping the future of music.

Episode realized in partnership with INNER_SPACES and San Fedele Musica.
