This episode brings the Drifter’s documentary-style series on the history of Home Recording to a close for now…🍏 The sheer amount of info in this one could’ve easily gone into a 300 page book, given that the ‘lo-fi’-era has barely been acknowledged as existing as a legitimate form of expression at all. As home-recording has historically only been seen as a stepping stone towards more traditional forms of music industry careerism, Emil tries to re-frame the impulse and phenomenon as its own real and beautiful sub-world of vital documentation in itself.
