Inpsired by John Zorn's most recent volume of his Arcana series, Musicians on Music, Magic & Mysticism, I present the first in a series of interviews with musicians on the intersection of music, esotericism, and creativity.
Alka (Bryan Michael) is an electronic music composer who imbues his music with echoes of an analog past. It's ambient music you could almost dance to, the psychedelic dreams of a circuit bender. I corresponded with Alka by email about how magical symbols work in the context of his compositions.
