Christoph Hessler and Daniel Weber from German rock band The Intersphere recently took some time to chat to me all about their latest album Wanderer and their music writing, recording, and live performance processes. Unfortunately my laptop crashed immediately after the call so my own higher quality recording was lost to the void, but I was at least able to grab a backup recording from Zoom. The recording may not be of high quality but the conversation is!
