the “symphony for a genocide” composer he mentions at 13:18 is maurizio bianchi, aka m.b. he’s an industrial musician who doesn’t get nearly enough credit and i can definitely see his influence on ferraro’s more industrial-esque early works.
A lot of creative types are like that, just look at earl sweatshirt, his lyrics are fucking poetry but his interviews are almost incomprehensible, even though he really is saying interesting things under it all
did this ever exist as a video? i've only ever seen the text transcript until now (funny to compare the differences). weird they chose citrac AND liquid metal to talk about being iirc citrac is partially a reissue of liquid metal. great stuff regardless. fingers crossed for a summer headrush behind the music someday
I think it was only released as what we know today as some sort of hybrid podcast with full tunes here and there, and they did the same with a trillion of interesting artists around Red Bull Music Academy, but since the project was shut down by $%@#@$% Red Bull every show was lost, and this is one of the only few things left around. If anyone has other episodes let me know! ♥ i'm collecting em all back again.
citrac is a vinyl-only reissue that compiles most of postremo mundus techno-symposium, an excerpt of liquid metal, and wired tribe (which idk if that got its own album release). he was probably just referring to that general period of his work that was captured in citrac, but then had some more things to say about liquid metal in specific.
