About this episode
Chris Akin sits down with Chris “The Professor” Black, the main creative force behind the band Aktor, to discuss their intriguing new conceptual release, Professori Season 2 . Black reveals that the album’s detective show concept was inspired by his unlikely pandemic obsession with Scandinavian crime dramas and their recurring cliches, leading to a hilarious realization that the shows are so formulaic you can skip whole seasons! They delve into the challenging process of creating a layered, non-traditional sound that blends psychedelic, prog, and new wave elements, and talk about their collaboration with extreme metal legend Dan Swanö for the mixing.
