The opening chord of "Fuckers"  is the prelude to a hypnotic 10 minute ceremony. The architect of that shamanic cascade of tense reverb is my guest today - the amazing Gemma Thompson.Gemma is the highly acclaimed, powerful and inventive guitarist and songwriter in Savages, the band nominated for a Mercury Prize on two separate occasions for their albums, Silence Yourself (2013) and Adore Life (2016). Her deliciously intoxicating guitar work gives a strong hint of her love of experimenting with sound textures. It was fascinating to talk to Gemma and listen to her endless love for learning, knowledge and experimenting with new ideas and ways of constructing her sonic assaults.  We also talk about how awesome Savages' song Fuckers is and how it shows up Gemma's sonic power (well, I banged on about it, Gemma's too modest...).Sound experimentation has become the characteristic of Bashan - Gemma's latest musical collaborative with her husband Sam Sherry and his brother, Adam.Gemma is also a multidisciplinary artist who works with drawing, printmaking (like intaglio and lithography) and sound to record sensory experience of place.A sonic, visual and tactual scientist who just also happens to be a creative genius.I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is a music podcast that does music interviews differently. I'm Giles Sibbald and I'm talking to extraordinary musicians, DJ's and producers about how they use an experimental mindset in their lives to amplify their own creativity, pursue new challenges, overcome fears and bounce back from mistakes.- brought to you by Hey Sunday, the mothership of the experimental mindset™.Podcast logo and art by Tide Adesanya, Coppie and Paste
