    Sound Without Borders: A Conversation with Malcolm Galloway
    2026/10/31
    Every song begins somewhere—with a question, a memory, or an idea that refuses to stay quiet. Sometimes, discovering the music means getting to know the mind behind it. Welcome to Episode 106 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. I’m Kenny Chiba, and today we’re connecting Japan and London for a conversation with Malcolm Galloway—musician, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate. Alongside Mark Gatland, Malcolm creates music where progressive and alternative rock meet classical textures, minimalist patterns, and electronic exploration. Drawing on science, history, and science fiction, their songs invite us to listen closely, ask questions, and explore beyond the everyday. Malcolm’s creative reach extends beyond the band. His classical compositions have aired on BBC Radio 3, his combined music and video artwork has been presented at London’s National Gallery, and his solo album Transitions earned a place among Sid Smith’s selections for Prog magazine’s albums of the year. But a list of achievements can only tell us so much. Today, we’re making room for the person behind the recordings—the experiences that shaped him, the ideas that spark his imagination, and the curiosity that keeps his music moving. So settle in, bring an open mind, and join us for a conversation across the waters. This is the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—music you’ve been overlooking.

    Signals Beneath the Noise
    2026/07/30
    Sometimes, the quiet does not end. It transforms. In Episode 104, we slowed everything down. We took a breath, stepped away from the noise and allowed the music to bring us back toward ourselves. But somewhere beyond that stillness, the sky began to change. A low rumble appeared in the distance. The clouds gathered. Amplifiers warmed up. Guitar strings started to vibrate—and the magical music bus pulled back onto the road. This is Episode 105 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, and for this episode we are following the Signals Beneath the Noise. These are independent artists creating progressive, alternative, psychedelic and cinematic rock—musicians still building their roads, finding their listeners and pushing their music beyond familiar borders. We begin gently, but do not get too comfortable. There is rolling thunder ahead. You are listening to the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—music you’ve been overlooking.

  • The Space Between Songs

    The Space Between Songs
    2026/06/25
    For the last few episodes, we’ve traveled across cities, countries, languages, cultures, and sounds aboard the Magical Music Bus. We’ve crossed oceans, explored neon streets, underground clubs, jazz cafés, rooftop parties, and late-night train stations. But this time…the bus is parked. No passports. No customs. No destination. Just a moment to remember who we are when the world gets quiet. Welcome to Episode 104: “The Space Between Songs.” This episode is dedicated to anyone moving too fast, carrying too much, or trying to remember who they were before the notifications, deadlines, and endless scrolling. Tonight, we slow down. No superstar playlists. No Top 100 countdowns. No algorithms telling us what to hear. Just great music from artists whose work quietly changes lives, one listener at a time.

    The Journey, The Pause, The Trust
    2025/12/26
    This episode was written somewhere between cobblestone streets and quiet realizations. Between missed turns, long walks, train windows, and moments where time slowed down just enough to let the truth catch up. Italy didn’t ask me to change. It asked me to pay attention. Episode 100 lives in that awareness. --------------------- This is Episode 100. No flex. No fireworks. Just heart, breath, and truth. This one isn’t about talking over tracks. It’s about letting the music carry the weight— like a soul finally exhaling. This episode is a love letter. To myself. To you. To anyone learning how to stay standing when life tries to fold them. ------------------------------- Music Artists & Tracks Featured in Episode 100 (Alphabetical Order): 14KT – The Power of Same Alfa Mist – Run Outs Aman-D & Lost Desert – Open Form Axel Boman – Hello Christian Rich – Real Love (feat.
