Novel Film (1st & 3rd)/The Talking Machine (2nd & 4th) presents:
The Talking Machine #2 – Duos
Welcome to another edition of The Talking Machine. Today we are exploring a loosely defined category that I am calling “Duos”. All of the audio in this is a self-curated list of duo pieces that go together for some reason that gets explained on air! Sometimes it continues over from the last show, the two pieces are in conversation with each other, or they are A/B Sides of a release. Enjoy listening as we explore.
