Music has always been important to me, so when I needed an idea for a podcast, I thought, “Of course it’s going to be about music.” I’ve been reclaiming my goth roots lately, so I felt that would be a good start. In this podcast, we’ll discuss major events in the goth scene, the historical events, and the history of the movement (post-punk origins from 78/79), and of course, the music.
The name Dead Air is from a broadcasting term for an unintentional period of silence, but also plays into the gothic themes of death and the dead. The Static at the beginning of the clip is meant to emphasize this. Then chimes in the haunting cellos, again playing into the horror themes. In the background, the ambient wind howls to give it the final touch.
