The Music is Talking, are YOU listening?

Do you like Nine Inch Nails? Did you see them on their infamous Self Destruct Tour? Step back in time with us as we explore some of the riveting chronicles of this tour captured through the eyes of filmmaker / photographer Jonathan Rach.
He is currently in Melbourne Australia and is showcasing a very limited pop up exhibition of his never before seen photographs of that tour.

This exhibition has been brought to us by Stephen Dallimore who is the creative director of Behind The Music Gallery and also a guest with us today.
Behind The Music Gallery is a new way to see and purchase iconic music photography.

Jonathan was initially a stage designer whose designs were accepted by Trent on what would be known as the Self Destruct Tour. Shortly after this he was asked to be be a fly on the wall and film the tour as there was a feeling in the air that this was going to be something very special.

We are also honoured to be joined by Chris Vrenna, who was the original founding drummer of Nine Inch Nails. Both he and Jonathan recall some of their tour experiences and their own unique experiences with flying microphone stands.
Our engaging discussion also reveals intimate moments of tenderness of touring with David Bowie.

As the curtain falls to this episode, we leave with the passion of Chris Vrenna,
who now channels his creative energies into educating emerging artists and musicians.
A testament to the mentorship that shapes tomorrow's creative voices, and a reaffirmation of the legacy and timeless influence of Nine Inch Nails.

The Music is Talking, are YOU listening?

“The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest fascination”
H.P. Lovecraft.

Join us for this second episode of The Music is Talking, and delve into the black abyss that is the storytelling majesty of one of Lovecraft’s keenest adherents, the incomparable Ramsey Campbell.

With a body of work that spans five decades, over thirty novels and hundreds of short stories, Campbell’s story is indeed a fascination. In this enthralling podcast, I had a conversation with Ramsey Campbell and got to look deep into the history of what drives this dark master of literature.

With wit, mirth and a true story tellers gift you will be be transported through Campbell’s childhood in Liverpool, and taken on a personal journey where no stone is left unturned. Touching on his mother's mental health and his own experiences with psychedelics we get to see not just the writer, but the raw and visceral tales that ultimately shaped one of horror’s greatest literary lords.

Honest, genuine, warm and engaging, whether you are a long time fan of Ramsey Campbell, a horror fan or just a lover of a good story, this is a pre Halloween treat you will not want to miss!
