Musical explorer Rick Walker pauses for a moment to retrace some of the ground he's traversed in the last 35 years, from his early days as a punk/ska/new wave drummer to a serious student of world percussion traditions to electronica and looping to jazz. We surveyed his career while listening to a lot of musical examples and chatting about such things as:
-His early involvement in the “world music” movement of the '80s
-Playing with the late guitarist Bob Brozman
-A paternal blessing from Babatunde Olatunji
-Falling in love with looping
-Rhythm, repetition and trance
-Singing and other really scary things
