For this episode of the podcast, it was a real pleasure to have Matthew De Gennaro join us at KMSU studios to perform a live set, to chat a bit about his music, and to spin a few rarities, including some assorted 78’s (a FFF first!) from his personal collection. We caught on to Matthew’s music through his output on the Last Visible Dog label a good decade ago, but he has actually been releasing material dating back to the late 90’s where he collaborated frequently with New Zealand-based artist Alastair Galbraith on a series of sound installation recordings. De Gennaro has gone on to investigate various forms of folk music through his solo output, creating an exceptional body of work that is highly personalized yet unassuming. His most recent releases on Soft Abuse, Chuang Tzu Motherfucker and Old Jack Somebody, are amongst his strongest efforts to date. You can track down these releases and other older titles by Matthew De Gennaro over on the Soft Abuse website. During the last 30 minutes or so of the show, you’ll also hear some mostly newer selections that we chose to round things out with. Hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for checking in with us.
