Taraka Larson is one of one. The songwriter and artist has displayed work at the Whitney, topped the new age charts, lectured on audio meditations and utopian architecture, and toured the world as one-half of Prince Rama, a genre-defying art pop project that has given way to her solo work under the Taraka banner.

In this episode, she welcomes Argentinian werewolf Salvador Cresta into her music and visual art studio, discusses how she began to work with Animal Collective’s Paw Tracks label, show off visionary artist Paul Laffoley, and shows off some in progress songs.
