Language and Linus Blankets: The Return of Oui Ennui

Oui Ennui (bold, brilliant, and beautiful electronic musician/synthesist) is back as the first return guest on This Is Your Afterlife! We hit it off so much in our first conversation, and here, we have a more expansive, less structured talk about topics like:

  • Language devolving
  • Imposing vs. discovering/defining your creative niche
  • Afterlives created by human fear
  • The absurdity of being alive

If you think this show's worth the cost of a coffee or a meal a month (I do!), subscribe for $5 or $15 at patreon.com/davemaher. You'll get my full convo with Jonn (aka Oui Ennui), every installment of the companion podcast This Is Your Aftershow, and shoutouts in future episodes.

Check out Oui Ennui's music at ouiennui.com. The new album, Forensic Architecture, is especially good.
