Dark Ambient Journalism: Interview with the Writers

This week I did a "double-blind" interview with a fellow dark ambient music writer: we each interviewed the other in depth, without knowing in advance what the other would say. The final result was very satisfying, and it attracted a host of wonderful comments from some of my favorite musicians - including this one, which is going right into my "giddy fangirl-squee" file:

"I warmly recommend that you check out the cross interview between Michael Barnett and Danica Swanson...it's a great way to get better acquainted with two of the most prolific and insightful protagonists of the dark ambient genre."
- Johan Levin of Desiderii Marginis, 24 January 2019

You can read the interview at the This Is Darkness webzine...

If you're curious about why I'm so excited about the funding model behind my direct-subscription email newsletters on the Substack publishing platform, I go into depth about it in the second question for this interview.
