Our second series of Lost Map’s artist residency project, VISITATIONS, gets underway with a release from ARTHUR KING - a collective of musicians and artists associated with the Dangerbird Records label, in Los Angeles.

Their journey was sparked by an online conversation between Jason Lytle (front-man with alt-rock pioneers, Grandaddy) and Pictish Trail, in early-2019; having seen photos of our first series of VISITATIONS, Jason was keen to embrace the opportunity to explore the Isle of Eigg, and collaborate with his musical cohorts, Aaron Espinoza and Peter Walker of Dangerbird. All of this was to be captured on camera, manipulated, and projected back onto the island itself by fellow Arthur King companions, John Schlue and Aaron Farley.

In this first episode of the podcast, we chat to Jason about his life in music, and his journey to Eigg … and we hear from Aaron Espinoza and Peter Walker about the Arthur King project itself.
