Eddy produceerde de soundtrack oftewel 'het geluid bij het boek' en had ons uitgenodigd om te komen praten over IMOJIMAN. Daarbij draaide hij een aantal bijzondere nummers van die soundtrack. Aan het eind van het gesprek verraste hij ons door een stukje prachtig voor te dragen. Luister het gesprek terug in deze podcast van ca. 30 min.

PJ Pancras, also known as Firma Tacker & Tape, is a writing duo. As a couple, they are fascinated by the dialogue between the male and female perspectives that their writing partnership provides. Their style is at turns whimsical and astute, weaving the everyday with the tragic and the sublime in near gonzo style, extrapolating to a future that is both patently weird and arrestingly believable.
