Hats off to my lovely wife for having had such a productive year 2023!
She made eight new albums together with British master musician Pete Murphy, and they are all so, so good. Adding to the seven classic albums they already had together! Vanessa’s cut-ups fit really well together with Pete’s extremely versatile musical mind, and the results are simply staggering, sublime, sexy, and psychedelically seductive. You can listen to them all here:

(Or on any other streaming platform you’re comfortable with.)
She also created 52 (!) episodes of her magnificent Rendering Unconscious podcast this year. That’s right – that’s on average one episode a week. More information here:
http://www.renderingunconscious.org
So far she’s created 275 podcast episodes in total about the state of international psychoanalysis, psychology, and also art & the occult. I’m in a few of these episodes, and they are of course the best; but do listen to all of this wealth of diverse intelligence… 275 episodes so far… That’s quite a feat!
She also had two books published this year:
“Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman: From Freud to Lacan and Beyond” (Routledge), which is an exciting anthology. You can check it out here:
Then there was our joint effort: the second volume of the Magic Monday series: ”We May Need To Call On Our Cosmic Friends.” It’s made up of our weekly Patreon Posts called ”Magic Monday,” and you can find out more information here:

She also contributed the piece “The Alchemy of Pandrogeny: Synthesis Incarnate” to Sean Woodward’s (ed.) great Tumzantorum, vol 5. (Zos House).
And of course there was more stuff happening too, not least all the events we hosted c/o Morbid Anatomy online – including the class we did in four sessions about cut-ups and magic.
