Electronic musician Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) and artist James Ferraro in conversation with music/digital culture critic Geeta Dayal about the current obsession with the past in all arts, especially music.

The use of material from earlier times has evolved from sampling/quotation, with recognizable references evoking new associations, to more fragmentary, ethereal appearances of the past in present day cultural utterances, such a the music genres hypnagogic pop or witch house. The lines between past, present and future are becoming ever more blurred

This discussion explores the working methods of these artists as well as redefining concepts of nostalgia, retromania and cultural detritus. Is culture eating itself? Or are alchemists making gold out of 'garbage'?
