Sean Sleight

<p>Today’s guest deejay is Sean Sleight.</p> <p>A year ago, while perusing <a href="https://boingboing.net" title="Boing Boing">Boing Boing</a> I <a href="https://boingboing.net/2020/04/09/hollow-earth-radio-local-mu.html" title="Hollow Earth Radio: &quot;local music, found sound, paranormal encounters, crank calls, dreams, etc&quot;">read a post</a> about <a href="https://www.hollowearthradio.org" title="Hollow Earth Radio">Hollow Earth Radio</a>, a Low Power FM (LPFM) non-commercial DIY radio station based out of Seattle. I was intrigued about the station’s promise of “local music, found sound, paranormal encounters, crank calls, dreams, etc.! 24 hours a day!” and tuned it. The station is a delight, and I became Sean’s show, <a href="https://www.hollowearthradio.org/programs/78" title="Aquanautic Frequencies">Aquanautic Frequencies</a>, and invited him to guest deejay on Soundwave.</p> <p>Aquanautic Frequencies broadcasts every Wednesday from 11 am-1 pm PST. Spinning strange and groovy and tunes from the deep. Featuring clangy krautrock and kosmische musik, brain-melting prog, afrobeat, and jazz from Saturn, pulsing psych, weird Bungley rock, Pacific Northwest favorites, outsider music from Finland and beyond, turntable experiments, avant-metal, random radio transmissions, and even the occasional jangled pop number as long as it fits the mood.&nbsp;His shows are broadcasted live at the station with vinyl only, programmed from his music collection, or home recorded with two turntables and mixer fed into a recording console.</p> <p>In addition to the radio show, Sean is a scientist and has made music a creative outlet for about 20 years. He is the co-founder of <a href="https://fringebiologyrecords.com" title="Fringe Biology Recordings">Fringe Biology Recordings</a> (fringebiologyrecords.com), a Seattle-based record label of outsider/self-educated recording artists specializing in experimental rock, avant-electronic music, sci-fi soundtracks, kosmische musik, and science-inspired music.</p> <p>What I love about S
