My guest on the program operates under the moniker “AITIA” which is the Greek term for the word “cause”. AITIA is a brand new independent ambient musician that is off to a tremendous with their two companion albums “ENA”(éna) and “ANE” (ayn), both of which explore the concepts of the reversal of time —of which we’ll hear a few tracks later on in the program. Our conversation explored their two debut companion releases, some of AITIA’s sources of inspiration, straddling the world of art and capitalism, authenticity of intent, and more.
