DYING TO KNOW with Zachary Murdock and Michael Meade

DYING TO KNOW is a project that defies definition: a podcast season, musical album and short film all woven into one expression. Zachary Murdock, founder of Channel the Sun Art Collective and host of The Pink Hearse Podcast, had this vision of interviewing mythologist, storyteller, author and host of The Living Myth Podcast, Michael Meade, and then breaking the conversation into eight sections which spell a sentence in totality. Zachary then wrote eight songs with Kevin Joseph & Red Buttonz, to accompany the sections and fused the parts together to create an album that flows between the music and the timeless spoken word wisdom of Michael Meade. In an age of social media gurus and out of touch pop puppets, Zachary Murdock and Michael Meade deliver a striking creation that evokes the nuance and paradox of existence. Striking a balance where “Letters To A Young Poet” meets “Lemonade” by Beyoncé, DYING TO KNOW transcends mediums and announces itself as something new and yet intimately familiar. To complete the vision, Zachary collaborated with visionary director, Anthony Ryan Johnson to create a visual album / short film. Forever pushing the boundaries of what is, Zachary and Channel the Sun never cease inventing what could be. This project was created by Channel the Sun, The Pink Hearse Podcast, Zachary Murdock, Michael Meade, Kevin Joseph, Red Buttonz, Anthony Ryan Johnson, Erick Madrid, Davi Escobar, Afro Spirit Art and Brad Doan. Enjoy the visual album in partnership released on Exquisite Noise Records.
