Recorded at Sankofa Square (Intersection 2025: Day 2: All Day Music Marathon, August 30, 2025.
Back from a year's hiatus, the Intersection Festival was once again bringing some unconventional sounds to the unsuspecting public. The now formally-retitled Sankofa Square sports a decolonized name, but a slightly more carceral vibe — surrounded by metal fencing and closed off by gates right up 'til showtime, there was less of a random just-wander-through sense of invitation than there used to be.
There was also a slightly different curatorial vibe in effect. In the absence of Burn Down the Capital's Tad Michalak, Andrew Noseworthy stepped up as the main programmer, giving the day a flavour that'd be familiar to those following people | places | records, the "DIY genre-fluid 'zero profit' artists-first" label he is involved with.
Matthew Ramolo's long-running solo project was in a sort of "planetarium raga party" zone here, with some rhythmic insistence adding a sense of movement to the zones settling over the square.
