Lullabies Towards The Depths of The Human Mind

In this episode of the podcast—the third in this sixth season, or the 33rd episode overall since 2019, Kevin "welcomes" ambient/experimental composer and performer Federico Durand. Why the quotes around "welcome?" It's because Durand lives in Argentina, and his conversational English is not that great; and, as you might expect, Kevin is a big, tall, dummy, and he speaks no other languages. 

As a way to work around the language barrier, Durand selected 10 unique pieces of music to discuss, and wrote short reflections about each one, which Kevin reads throughout the episode.
