In GBA 242 we get better acquainted with Maco. He describes a life spent with sound, from free parties, to roadying, to speech radio, to music; from hiding with the music equipment at school to listening to his voice in an Anechoic Chamber. We also cover being a father, how travelling and background influences your accent and the importance of wilderness years. This conversation was recorded in Studio 2 at the community radio station where he works.
