I caught up with experimental guitarist Curran Faris to talk about his latest release as Greenhouse https://greenhousedrone.bandcamp.com/, ‘ https://audiovisualsatmosphere.bandcamp.com/album/sacrifice-zones’ — which was one of my favourite local records https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr859-favourite-local-albums-of-2023-pt-iii of 2023 — and more! Here's our chat about his current projects, including a collaboration with Cole Peters https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr632-cole-peters as Seracs, as well as reflecting emotion through atmosphere, approaching the guitar as a 'sound source' rather than an instrument, and much more.

On New Year's Day, local musician and filmmaker Jaimz Asmundson http://www.jaimzasmundson.com/ passed away. I didn't know Jaimz very well, but he was a guest on the podcast twice -- once in 2014 and once in 2021 https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr587-ghost-twin-399050b340dc70 -- as a member of synthwave duo Ghost Twin https://ghosttwin.com/. As evidenced by this tribute from Winnipeg's iconic Dave Barber Cinematheque, Jaimz was an integral part of the local film community, who remember him far more eloquently than I ever could: https://davebarbercinematheque.com/in-loving-memory-of-jaimz-asmundson/ This episode collects his two appearances on Witchpolice Radio as an interviewee, the earliest of which was one of the 'lost' episodes that wasn't currently on the podcast feed, and includes a live on-air performance. Sending positive vibes to Jaimz's family and friends.
As I do every year, I've made a list of my favourite local albums of 2023. Did I miss albums? Absolutely. Did I immediately question my judgement after I finished narrowing it down to 20? Yuppers. But for good or ill, there are 20 releases by local artists I want to highlight. Continuing the tradition I began last year, I've recorded a series of episodes counting down the records on my list, including interview clips and songs. This final installment covers albums I've unscientifically ranked from 9-6 (I know, random numbering happening here, sorry) which includes by Derek Helps https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr815-derek-helps, by Tetyana Haraschuk https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr816-tetyana-haraschuk, by Rob Crooks https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr773-rob-crooks, by Wilt, and in the number one spot, Super Duty Tough Work https://witchpolice.com/episodes/wr829-super-duty-tough-work's .
