This week we are joined by François J. Bonnet, recording artist (as Kassel Jaeger) and theoretician, Director of Groupe de Recherches Musicales of the National Audiovisual Institute (INA-GRM) in Paris, and producer on National French Radio France Musique. We talk with him about the recent publication of the english translation of his book "After Death" (2020, Urbanomic)in the context of the current pandemic and the general externalisation and disembodiment of death. We do end up divagating about improvisation, the sublime, romanticism and other meta-musical tropes in the direction of François' most recent book "The Music To Come" (2020, Shelter Press).

S.E.W. does, has and will always exist.

In the vast, unpredictable theater of now, Mattin and Miguel Prado surrendered to the whims of the unconscious, that masterful improviser, seeking to conjure into being a future that, once distant, now beckoned with the inevitability of a forgotten prophecy slowly, inexorably coming to fruition.
