Ep. #911: Richard Laviolette’s ‘All Wild Things Are Shy’

EVERY OTHER KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO MONTHLY $6 USD PATREON SUPPORTERS. This one is fine, but please subscribe now on Patreon so you never miss full episodes. Thanks!

All Wild Things Are Shy is Richard Laviolette’s final album and was released posthumously one year after he sought MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) on September 5, 2023. To provide more insight about its creation and Richard’s state of mind in writing and recording these songs while struggling with Huntington’s disease and the sudden onset of accelerated, severe symptoms, I organized a discussion with his partner and collaborator sophia bartholomew, the record’s lead instrumentalist, Rich Burnett, producer Scott Merritt, and artistic advisor and You’ve Changed Records label manager, Steven Lambke. We love Richard and will never forget him.
