The record imagines grief and upheaval as a science-fictional voyage and was sparked by a chance encounter with the artist Moebius that grew into an imagined civilization.</p><p>We talk about recording alone, with no one else’s voice in the room; why he calls his editing process a “distilled vodka”; and why he still believes imagination is the first step toward hope.</p><p>(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Danalogue’s <em>Teleportations</em>)</p><p>—</p><h2><strong>Dig Deeper</strong></h2><p><strong>Artist and Album:</strong></p><ul><li>Visit Danalogue on <a href=\"https://danalogue.bandcamp.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bandcamp</a> and follow on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/_danalogue/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></li><li>Purchase Danalogue's <em>Teleportations</em> from <a href=\"https://castlesin.space/2026/teleportations/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Castles in Space</a>, <a href=\"https://danalogue.bandcamp.com/album/teleportations\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bandcamp</a>, or <a href=\"https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/teleportations-danalogue/vjqnjtsfv6e34\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Qobuz</a>, and listen on your <a href=\"https://album.link/i/1881959559\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">streaming platform of choice</a></li><li>Watch Danalogue <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idCEU_2VVns\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">playing live at Total Refreshment Centre</a></li></ul><p><strong>Bands and Projects:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://thecometiscoming.bandcamp.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Comet Is Coming</a></li><li><a href=\"https://soccer96.bandcamp.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Soccer96</a></li><li><a href=\"https://k7.com/flock/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Flock</a></li></ul><p><strong>Label and Studio:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://castlesin.space/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Castles in Space</a> (label)</li><li><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/totalrefreshment\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Total Refreshment Centre</a></li></ul><p><strong>Collaborators:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.alabaster-deplume.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Alabaster DePlume</a></li><li><a href=\"https://snappedankles.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Snapped Ankles</a></li></ul><p><strong>Instruments:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/juno-60\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Roland Juno-60</a> (Vintage Synth Explorer)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/sh-09\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Roland SH-09</a> (Vintage Synth Explorer)</li></ul><p><strong>Cultural References:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.moebius.fr/index.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Moebius (Jean Giraud)</a> — the comics artist behind the album's origin</li><li><a href=\"http://www.hilaritaspress.com/portfolio-item/cosmic-trigger-1/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Anton Wilson, <em>Cosmic Trigger</em></a> (Hilaritas Press)</li><li><a href=\"https://www.nme.com/features/gaming-features/ken-ishii-warp-danalogue-c-smash-vrs-3439187\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>C-Smash VRS</em> with Ken Ishii</a> — the VR game he scored (NME feature)</li></ul><p>—</p><ul><li>Dig into this episode's complete show notes at <a href=\"https://www.podcast.thetonearm.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">podcast.thetonearm.com</a></li></ul><p>—</p><p>• Did you enjoy this episode?
