In this episode, we discuss Emmet's early days in Seattle, DIY and early label/show inspirations, Pelt, and the start of Bud Tapes. We also get into his projects Water Shews, his move from primarily writing songs to improvisation, the freedom and connections of free-improv (maybe a bit too far down that rabbit hole :), along with discussing running labels, working with great people, etc.

Free Water Shrew Ensemble - side 1 (from Bug Sentience cassette)

Sprogg - Dark Days Are Coming (from Dark Days Are Coming cassette)

Sewn Hand (unreleased track)
