The Audio Ecotone

Join Eddy Owt as he explores the rich genre diversity, cross-breeding, and hybridizing in the back waters and tributaries of the past 100 years of music: rock, jazz, pop, r&b, soul, country, ska, electronica, J-Pop/C-Pop/K-Pop, afrobeat, and much more.

"We have a tropical situation where there are thousands of 'species' of music around and they're all constantly cross-breeding and hybridizing. It's very exciting, but you can't keep up with it easily." -- Brian Eno

Happy New Year! (Jan 2nd, 2026)

New Years is a time to wrap up those accumulated loose ends from the previous year -- pay off debts, clean out closets, finish projects. We tie up a couple of loose ends by playing a couple of tunes that we had to cut from last week's interview with Nicole Laurenne due to time constraints. We then play a selection of songs of hope, resolutions and haunted houses(?) to ring in the new year!

Nicole Laurenne Live! (Dec 26th, 2025)

Despite wind and rain and thunder and lightning and viruses, Santa still delivered his best gift for Boxing Day -- a live (via Zoom) interview with Nicole Laurenne, the dynamic leader of The Darts (U.S.) and femme fatale in her Black Viiolet alter ego. Nicole joined us for a lively discussion of her holiday visit, recent tour high- and lowlights, plans for 2026 and a badass selection of tunes that have influenced and inspired her over the years. And as a bonus gift, we had the World Broadcast Debut of Black Viiolet's cover of the holiday classic You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!  All of this while battling an unfortunate holiday virus. Many, many thanks to Nicole for (literally) sweating this out!
