Welcome Godlazer back to The Mountain-Ear Podcast, where we have DJ Christopher Caligaris talking about his creative resurgence and his personal musical journey. Learn more about him in preparation for his upcoming appearance at The Vault on May 15th from 5 to 9 p.m.!

In the five years since the release of his most recent album, Electric Caribou, instrumental and electronic musician Christopher Caligaris has primarily focused on his career as a water treatment operator. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, though, he’s continued writing, building a catalog of tracks.

“I’m sitting on about 22 tracks, 14 of which, I think, are almost ready to release,” says the DJ, who performs under the moniker Godlazer. “A lot of the process of making music, for me, is therapeutic.”
