full show notes can be found on patreon, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/28567131/

00:20 - “Faithful Servant Friend of Christ” by Lingua Ignota 

05:21 - AFP on how she first discovered Lingua’s music through her friend and musician Cormac Bride

07:00 - Excerpts from “Woe To All (On The Day Of My Wrath) ” by Lingua Ignota 

09:55 - AFP describes Lingua Ignota as a cross between Merzbow and Diamanda Galas

16:00 - At Brown University, Kristin’s Masters thesis on Digital Language Arts is titled “Burn Everything, Trust No One, Kill Yourself” which was algorithmically assisted using a Markov chain.

16:55 - To build the source material for her thesis, “I started culling together all of this language from the internet, and from liner notes, and from lyrics, from genres of extreme music that kind of mythologized misogyny.” - Kristin

18:30 - Kristin on her thesis: “I don’t want this to be something that has to be archived, I want this to be something that people have to deal with.”

19:00 - Some of Kristin’s inspiration that comes from Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring”

22:45 - “In my other way, in my genre, I’ve picked something kind of extreme. Like, my stuff is definitely not for everyone and if you find confessional stuff confrontational, you’re going to find this really confrontational.” - AFP

24:20 - “There is only so much you can do with interpretation, there is only so much of yourself you can put into interpreting someone else’s music. And I eventually fell out of that and went to art school.” - Kristin

24:30 - “Coming to this work, I wanted it to be confrontational and to explore the ideas of gender-based violence in a way that wasn’t traditionally feminist. The work is not informed by any kind of Feminist school of thought, feminist theory, or—and I don’t really think about feminism at all when I make the work. I think about misogyny and hatred of women. And the attitudes espoused there. And about re-contextualizing and flipping the attitude instead.” - Kristin

29:30 - “My philosophy about art and this kind of stuff is that it’s all got to be allowed. Whether or not you serve it up with a giant context condiment buffet that isn’t what art ever has been and isn’t what art should turn into.” - AFP

28:45 - AFP on rethinking female artists like Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco. Her feelings around being compared to them and competing with them. And the framing around female-lead musicians as not as cool as the guys.

32:33 - “I wanted to be the kind of artist that my older boyfriend might actually one day stand up and say this is the thing. She can be up there with Current 93 and Swans and Coil like she belongs to the canon.” - AFP

35:00 - A discussion about having literal lyrics and if that makes you uncool. 

45:47 - “I tend to specifically choose environments that maybe have more hostility in them to sing my most soul-baring songs.” - Kristin

Hailing from the midlands of Ireland, Aoife Wolf melds searing goth-folk with lyrics that delve deep into uncanny worlds.  Drawing on influences such as Kate Bush, Nirvana, Cocteau Twins, and PJ Harvey, her moody and atmospheric songs have as many layers as the bogs that raised her. Her mesmerising live shows have captivated audiences across Ireland, where she has opened for renowned artists such as Joshua Burnside, Kathryn Joseph, Junior Brother, Anna Mieke, Lael Neale, Ichiko Aoba and TomBerlin. This recognition led to her performing at the OutPut and Ireland Music Week showcase festivals, as well as tastemaker festivals such as Other Voices, Spilt Milk and Feile na Greine. Wolf has received airplay on BBC Radio, RTE Radio one and two as well as being being tipped by Tony Clayton Lea as one of “The Irish under-the-radar acts you need to listen to right now”. With The Wetlands receiving over 100k streams on Spotify and features on official Spotify and Apple Music playlists, Aoife's music has resonated with listeners across the island and beyond, earning her new fans in the UK and US. In 2023 Aoife has been performing to audiences across Ireland, France and Germany.
