INDIA AT 78rpm
Folk and classical music in India through the lens of the largest private collection of 78rpm records and dusty ephemera on the sub-continent. Everything is connected…
MY FRIEND RAIN
Decay and rebirth and death through the endless Asian monsoon cycle. A collage of musical segments and tropical ambiance from Robert Millis and Alan Bishop. Well, mostly Robert Millis. As I said, you can blame him. Includes the Thai Blind Willie Johnson, complete with metal cup on the end of his three string pin. Magical. View a clip here.

A traditional Buddhist ghost festival from Thailand’s Isan province that features beautiful handmade masks, outrageous wooden phalluses, ceremony, ritual, dancing, and endless
