Paul talks with innovative producer, musician, and DJ, Carmen Villain, unravelling the key influences that have shaped her sound, ranging from hip hop, R&B to minimalism. Carmen opens up about her late start in music and her love for loops and textures, taking us behind her creative process, shedding light on her desires to blend dub influences with cosmic free jazz, electronic textures with scoring music for dance performance. The culmination of these experiences is what makes her latest album, Only Love From Now On, and her EP, Music From the Living Monuments, a testament to her artistic evolution.

Lost and Sound title music by Thomas Giddins

Finlay Shakespeare is that rare thing - equally both boffin and poet.  A childhood obsession with his parents’ record collection, then teenage years spent building his own synthesizers led on to a series of works, from improvised home recordings to the lush 80s inspired synth pop of his latest album, Illusion + Memory. He speaks with Paul about the need to leave our comfort zones in order to make good music (or art) and how seemingly meaningless lyics later reveal their true meaning and, of course, that love of the 80s. 

Finlay Shakespeare’s album Illusion + Memory is out nowon Alter.

Lost and Sound is back after a seasonal break, and trying something new: Paul’s first guest of the year is actually a film maker. Isn’t this a music podcast? You might say, but Mark Jenkin’s hands-on approach and unique style, particularly when it comes to sound design, make him, for a podcast that meets outliers, innovators and outsiders, a spot on guest. 
 
Following on from his 2019 black and white Cornish-set Bait: a film nodody could have predicted would have become the hit it was, we spoke about his new offering, the 70s-set folk horror, Enys Men. It’s hauntology on screen: eerie and dream-like. The soundtrack, composed by Jenkin, is stand-alone good - particularly if you’re a fan of disintegrating drones and analogue loops that feel warped into some lost memory. 

Mark Jenkin’s original score for Enys Men is out now digitally on Invada Records. The film is released in the UK on 13 Jan.

Lost and Sound title music by E.S.O

Ambient maestro Gigi Masin describes living in Venice and always being surrounded by water as making you like a sailor. His seminal 1986 LP Wind was almost entirely lost in a flood in this city, but over the years, his music has continued to find new fans, Gigi’s been sampled by everyone from Bjork to Post Malone and counts Oneohtrix Point Never, Devendra Bahanart and Caroline Polachek as supporters.

A philosphical, deeply empathic human in conversation, he talks to Paul about transforming grief into celebration, and how he did this through paying tribute to his late wife on his new album Vahinè. And when someone whose nearly 70 years old looks and sounds barely 50 - then its worth listening as they’re obviously doing something right.
