I was reading an article recently about research into how sound can reduce pain and anxiety. A study in The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that sessions of sound meditation using Tibetan Signing Bowls had all sorts of benefits, reducing anxiety and depression and instilling a sense of spiritual wellbeing. So between sets in this episode I’ve included Tiebtan singing bowls and monks chanting.
The title of this episode is Into The Wild and I used an image for this episode that was produced by Bity Booker. The image is of Jimi Hendrix releasing parrots, and so my closing set is tracks that were influenced by nature, starting with Bity Booker herself singing “The Cuckoo.”

From Taipei, Taiwan
I corresponded with K.P. Liu from Dope Purple
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on This Is the Harsh Trip for New Psyche?
DP: This album is influenced by Slap Happy Humphrey (a noise-folk unit by Jojo Hirsohige, guitarist of the Japanese noise band Hijokaidan). which has a musical theme of noise mixed with popular music. And it is what I want to do with our new album. But It turned out to be something completely different XD
I’d like to make this kind of album again if I have the chance.
TMODM: What record changed your life?
DP: John Coltrane – The Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording (Only CD, No Vinyl, hopefully there will be a vinyl release someday) This album is a beauty in chaos, I changed my playing style after listening to this album, and it had a big impact on me.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
DP: We are working on the new album, actually we finished recording last year, but the recording engineers are working very slowly. We are still waiting for the engineer to finish the mixing/mastering. It’s going to be different from the previous album, but it’s going to be fierce XD

Mau Jesus are from Braga, Portugal.
Alex: Bateria
Ricky: Baixo
Guedes: Guitarra
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on O Que Faz o Diabo na Serra?
MJ: The strongest influence is black sabbath and Earthless and the classic stuff like Led Zeppelin put together, with all the jams and riffs.
TMODM: What record changed your life?
MJ: Band of Gypsys by Jimi Hendrix
TMODM: How much of “Montalegre” was improvised and how much did you have mapped out ahead of recording it?
MJ: Well, Montalegre has a 4 riff section, we jam over those except the bridge wich is the second part of the song before we get on the drone stuff with the feedback and delay effects, then e return to a riff jam part and the last “led zeppelin” kinda riif that ends the song.
So its most a jam song and as we play we look at each others and we signal the changes between the riffs.
The song, as the hole EP, was recorded in a live session, so its us playing live in the studio and it was all recorded in that take. We just had a lot of reharsals before we go on to the studio and record it.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
MJ: We are going to release a next album at the end of this year, at the end of our tour in Portugal.

Bity Booker is from London, UK. 🌜Folk Singer Songwriter🌛
Illustrator, maker of psych-folk songs.
note: The cover art for this episode is by Bity Booker. As she explains, “That’s Jimi Hendrix in the Parrots in London book, allegedly he had two parrots and he freed them, hence there are many parakeets in London.”
TMODM: What are you working on now?
BB: At the moment, I am working on some new recordings of my songs. My plan is to release a ‘chunky’ Bity Booker album on my own label FreakFolk Records. I record on my four track tape machine at home so I can take my time recording at my own pace.
TMODM: What do you plan on doing in the future?
BB: On 25 April ’24, I am playing a gig at Green Note (Camden,London) to celebrate the release of my new song ’The Cuckoo’.
In the future I would like to play in new places, for example, I have never played in the US, that would be amazing! 🙂

Cactus Bloom is a psychedelic rock trio that sprouted from the dry and dusty landscape of Western Australia. Creating a blend of mesmerizing melodies and trippy instrumentals, the music underpins the strong imagery of the story telling vocal. The improvisational nature of this band means you will never hear the same version twice. Every performance is unique.
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on Cactus Bloom (the album)?
CB: Khruangbin & Funkadelic as well as falling asleep in the shade.
TMODM: What record changed your life?
CB: Maggot Brain by Funkadelic.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
CB: Trying to get our new recordings heard and getting out to play them live starting in our home City of Perth. This is just the beginning, we’ve only just got started. Follow us to join the ride.

Dislocated Flowers are from London, UK
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on Ennui?
DF: Disdain, anger and frustration at the rise of hypocrisy, deceit, ignorance and violence levels here in the UK and across many of the western liberal democracies.
A sense that we are in a real hubristic, self absorbed and narcissistic state and in danger of falling into an even worse authoritarian nightmare due to this.
TMODM: What are you working on now?
DF: Two main areas.
Remastering the extensive TVO archive I have. TVO being the Band I was in during the ’90’s. With that in mind I am compiling an LP of cassette recordings of studio demo’s to be released shortly. This to be followed by other assorted LP’s of Live sessions/gigs and alternative versions.
Constantly working on new material that I upload to my Soundcloud page in playlists of 10 tracks.
These form the basis for my annual Dislocated Flowers LP release around February or March of each year.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
DF: Much the same as it always is, creating music.
Developing my understanding of new technologies to do so and simple enjoyment of playing various instruments and writing songs.

Jonny Halifax is a primitivist free blues outsider, sonic shaman of the acid fuzzed lap steel guitar, demented blower of the howling harmonica of doom. His new band project now combines avant swamp blues heaviosity with kosmic free jazz experimentalism in a fluid collective of godless raag brut improvisations – sonic visions of an hallucinatory apocalyptic near future. From London, UK
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on Açid Blüüs Räägs Vol.2?
JHI: The influences are many and varied. I made a spotify playlist which gives a good deep and long immersive listen hopefully.
he first album was more general in terms of the over-arching concept being along the lines of Spacemen 3 and Pharaoh Sanders interpreting the Paris Texas soundtrack through Sunn 0)))’s amp henge with Henry Flynt for spiritual guidance. This second album I wanted to develop that sound. So each track had something different in terms of the influencial sounds that went into it. Most notably, on Cosmic Fanfare you can hear some Moondog influence with the layered bass harmonica’s channelling some of his horn arrangements and his proto Suicide minimalist percussion, and I think there’s a bit of Spiritualised in the euphoric lap steel playing. Then with Fever Dawn there’s something of Wolf Eyes in there with the wonky industrial dub drum machine loops and free sax skronking. I was after getting something quite horror movie esque, maybe along the feel of Johann Johannsson’s ‘Mandy’ score. And then the closer Celestial Symphony I was after getting something of a transcendental gospel harmonica jam going initially, but there’s definitely some Terry Riley influence in there with the clavioline – especially his collaborations with Don Cherry. I think also generally trying to get some of the magical feel of Alice Coltrane’s Journey in Satchidananda album is always an ambition. So hopefully some of that comes though too.
TMODM: What are you working on now?
JHI: I’m working on getting out a new single out which is our first vocal track from the live show. Also we’re rehearsing an extended live version of the album with an 8 piece band, performing in the round. Really excited about that. Also have a few more vocal tracks at the writing stage.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
JHI: We’re working on getting more of the vocal tracks we play live recorded and put out as a rolling dukebox series of 7”s. Also as I say the live versions of the new album are starting to grow and mutate into their own thing with the larger band of performers I have at the moment. So there is an idea to record a live version of the album – maybe as a double. And to keep gigging as far and as wide as we can. So exciting times ahead we hope.
