  • Deep and insightful without the wankery

    Love this opening episode, it was so insightful and interesting but felt like I was just sitting at a table with friends. Might have been the cans cracking though.

    Looking forward to the next several hundred episodes

Tom Tremewan

Q: How did you start making music and what were the first tools you used?
Initially, we experimented with noise and simple cassette setups, then moved to a Yamaha four-track which became a critical stepping stone for recording and shaping early sound.
Timothy Giles
Q: What drew you toward funerals and end-of-life ceremonies?
He explains being introduced to the funeral industry through a girlfriend who became a funeral director and by observing and assisting in ceremonies, which resonated with his interest in providing meaningful, compassionate support during hard times.
Timothy Giles
Q: Where did you grow up and how did that shape you?
