What? That is right...

A New episode on Audio Signals Podcast 🥳

Audio Signals is where I explore #storytelling across all mediums—the craft, the passion, the philosophy behind the stories that make us human. It's not about the business. It's about the art.

My favorite quote is "We are all made of stories"

On this episode I chat with Dave Tourjé about his Art & Music, Skateboarding, Los Angeles now and in the 80s and Never Selling Out

"You have to learn to destroy what you're creating to really become free. Otherwise you're gonna be trapped by your own creation."

Dave Tourjé is a painter, musician, skateboarder, and founding member of the California Locos. He survived 80s LA. Quit art school. Walked away from galleries when they tried to tell him what to paint.

Instead of finding a patron, he built one—a construction company that pays him without anyone controlling his art.

"The story is the painting."

We talked about Los Angeles, the California Locos, the book "Renaissance and Rebellion" and what it really means to stay free as an artist.

Audio Signals Podcast

Hosted by Marco Ciappelli | We are all made of stories. Storytelling is at the core of our human experience—how we transmit knowledge, share experiences, and communicate values. Stories are bridges that connect us, shaping our worldview and weaving together our collective consciousness. In our modern, hybrid analog-digital society, the art of storytelling matters more than ever. Every storyteller—regardless of medium or platform—contributes to the grand narrative of human experience. I'm focusing this podcast on the storytellers themselves—exploring the craft, passion, and philosophy behind the stories that make us human. Join me for conversations that dive deep into the creative process across all mediums, celebrating the timeless tradition of storytelling in our evolving digital era.
