Lately, everything's been weird. The feeling of vulnerability, fragmentation of time, space and memory, lack of solid ground. It's time to listen, improvise, and feel again. For many musicians, it's also been time to return to where they started, come back home, and remember what mattered before they grew up. In our conversations, Lanark Artefax, Lyra Pramuk, Nazar, Hiro Kone, Bill Kouligas, Amnesia Scanner, Farwarmth, Helena Hauff, and Racine review pieces and bits of their memories, values, and intentions with creating music. When you return to where you started and remember the days when the world was big, and you were small, and nothing was impossible, you begin to play again. You free and protect your inner child. You are at home.

The 'coming home' issue is a tribute to many musicians' fragile state of mind in recent months. Conversations with lanark artefax, lyra pramuk, hiro kone, bill kouligas, amnesia scanner, and helena hauff took place in the middle of the lockdown. it felt like an inward slowdown helped each of them stay hopeful and dreamy when everything was coming to pieces, and old structures wouldn't work anymore.
