Far Off Sounds Ep 8 - Fish & Synths

Richard Kik chooses, breeds, maintains, and studies the fish at Detroit's historic Belle Isle Aquarium, holding this gorgeous and fragile institution essentially on his shoulders. Richard is also a prolific collector of Soviet synthesizers and other electronic instruments, and an industrial noise musician. In this episode, he discusses his love of fish, his love of synths, and gives us a special performance in the acoustically eerie stone and glass halls of the aquarium.
