Deep Convection is a podcast featuring real conversations between climate scientists (or sometimes those working in areas adjacent to climate science). The goal is to capture what it is like to work in our field at this moment in history. We talk about our lives, how we came to do what we do, what the work means to us, and how that is changing, or isn’t – and sometimes about science. Our top priority is to capture good conversations, but if some learning happens that’s fine too.

As the front man in DNA, Arto Lindsay was one of the core No Wave figures from the start, and he and Sumner were good friends from the mid-1970s, when Arto arrived in NYC (along with Mark Cunningham and Connie Burg, from Eckerd College in Florida), into the 1980s and beyond. Arto played on Sumner's opera record John Gavanti, and in the early 1980s Arto, Sumner and Rudolph Grey formed a visual art trio, signing their separately-made works with the single name Jack Texas (with which Sumner continued to sign his own paintings for the rest of his life, long after the trio disbanded). Arto has had an amazing career since then, collaborating with a wide range of musicians and visual artists both. His projects have included the Golden Palominos, Lounge Lizards, Ambitious Lovers, and many solo records. He’s been a record producer for many other artists, especially (but not limited to) Brazilian ones. Arto himself grew up in Brazil and lives there currently, and his own music combines sounds from that country with no wave "skronk" --- a term coined to describe his guitar playing --- and many other diverse influences. Arto talks with Adam about Sumner, his art, their relationship, and how much he benefited from Sumner’s encouragement in those early days. This interview was recorded in July 2024.
