About this Song
Within the frame of Indonesia’s catalog of cross-continental sound works, this unclassified audio project weaves together interview and musical context to unpack the core question at the heart of its title, Sense of Place: Telemarket captures the 'existential quandary' of life in Athens. The sound centers a formal conversation hosted by World Cafe, a space that brings together creative figures to discuss their work and the environments that shape their output, with Adam Wayton, the frontman of a five-piece punk band rooted in Athens, Georgia. The conversation turns to the band’s first full-length release, Ad Nauseam, tying the themes that emerge in that debut record to the broader sense of unease and navigation of place that the title of this sound work references.
