Record Rituals
Michael Montoya and Sadie Upwall
Record Rituals is a podcast set on building language by answering the question: what music do you listen to? By sitting down and generating a conversation about the chosen album for the week, the listener is welcomed into the experience of an audio media expression of language which begins with the albums, and evolves past them into a conversation about building language as a whole. These conversations are most relevant now in a time of global disconnection and potential destabilization of cultural norms: old habits and systems die hard, and the ensuing trauma they claw into us is something that must be talked about as we work through that pain, growth, and confusion via intimate conversation. Record Rituals is a new habit of listening to how music curates intimate conversation which provides language and information which will always matter as the pillars of culture are toppled, and new choices are made on how to rebuild culture.
