Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gin Wigmore Sorts Out Her Beautiful Mess
Q: But when you were writing these songs, were you writing them as a catharsis for yourself or as something for other people to get something out of or a combination of the two?
Gin Wigmore explains that the writing process was primarily for her own catharsis to make sense of difficult personal experiences, which later resonated with listeners as a way to process similar feelings.
The Sixteenth Gets Medieval for Matariki
Q: What about the local scene—are you connected with Wellington or a broader local network for this kind of work?
I'm largely a bit of a loner but connected globally with musicians overseas; local live options are limited because some pieces require a large orchestra, so the project remains more studio-focused unless significant support and funding come in.
The Sixteenth Gets Medieval for Matariki
Q: Have you been thinking about what you're going to do next after this release?
There will be follow-up content on a Substack called The 16th where I go deeper into how the music was written and the references behind it; I'll publish articles over the coming months and also weave these tracks into my DJ sets, testing crowd reactions in live environments like Rogue and Vagabond.
The Sixteenth Gets Medieval for Matariki
Q: Is this the kind of thing you take out on the road, or is it more of a listening experience for headphones—how should people best enjoy this music?
Listeners are encouraged to put on headphones and take a walk or explore the music while observing the environment; the album is designed for reflective listening, especially given its hybrid of ambient and progressive house elements and the historical inspirations that inform its textures.
The Sixteenth Gets Medieval for Matariki
Q: So maybe for folks who haven't heard the previous two records, give a little background as to what you've been doing and how it got to the point where you are now.
I've spent years writing various kinds of music, shifting from abstract ambient and laptop gigs to orchestral ideas, then moving into DJing, and eventually focusing on a broader palette to create a more serious, cohesive project rather than quick experiments. The first albums were expansive explorations, while the second was more refined and rooted in New Zealand's geography; this third album blends those experiences with a strong conceptual anchor around the Anglo-Saxon calendar and Winters In The World.
