Eat the Static Star! is a show that explores how sound can distort time, memory, and emotion. Each episode moves like a broken signal through space, where music triggers nostalgia and forms new memories in real time. It releases as an immersive drift through fragments of the past and present, blurring what’s remembered and what’s being made. Tune in weekly for a transmission that feels like consuming a static star: glitchy, immersive, and slightly unsteady!
