Vincent van Gogh, Freemasons, Gauguin’s swords, fencing turned into brushstrokes, Persian light philosophy, Tesla in Egypt, the origin of zero. A Berlin field recording where art history, conspiracy, and myth collide.

We stumble from Berlin street noise into an artist’s studio and fall headlong into a sweeping, conspiratorial art history.

At ~12:00, step inside with us to skip the wind and sip tea with a painter who recounts the secret life of Vincent van Gogh—including the idea of four different Vincents, fencing as the origin of the paintbrush, and Gauguin carrying swords into the studio. The story spirals into Persian and Zoroastrian light philosophy, the Bauhaus, Herodotus, pyramids as Tesla batteries, and how Freemasons controlled which artists lived and which died young.

It’s part myth, part oral history, part hustler’s lecture on art, light, and survival.

Recorded raw. Just Beatniks Bumtrips Bullshit
