Situations and elements of duality, dualisms and paradoxes have started to become more evident in my life. I think I started to become more aware of this maybe 6/7 years ago when I started thinking and writing about the importance of mindset for surviving and functioning in this very complex and volatile world which, with a bit of gentle and not so gentle encouragement, led me to starting this little podcast. Exploring the existence of these situations, the reluctance to see anything other than a binary outcome, the impact of centuries of societal conditioning towards either right or wrong answers, the impact of ego and questioning what reality means…is there a reality after all?…all these kind of things tend to take up a fair bit of my brain space. 

No wonder I don’t have any friends.

Patrick Wagner has a long and important cultural history in shifting boundaries. His band Gewalt’s debut album from 2021, Paridies, is an astounding piece of work, especially the trance inducing title track and the slicing pummelling groove of Es Funktioniert. They shape their work sonically, visually and lyrically with big topics that challenge our own comfort zones, our own interpretations of reality and most importantly those feelings, those dualisms…there’s a sense of order yet chaos, fearless yet vulnerable

And Gewalt are back with a new physical single - Trans - backed with Monika In Scherben – both classic songs in their own right that highlight the story of Monika Donner – and they have announced a second album called Doppeldenk to follow in mid-2024.
