Damo Suzuki (1950-2024)

The Melting World this Sunday at 12:00am (Saturday night at midnight) pays homage to the late vocalist best known as a member of the German band Can (1970-73). His improvising style while rooted in psychedelic krautrock expanded to cross genres throughout the years which included Can, Damo Suzuki Network, and The Damo Suzuki Band.

We take a journey into his musical energy from 1970-2019 including his collaboration with Denmark’s Oresund Space Collective in The Cosmic Hour.
