HEY UNCONTAMINATED SOUND LISTENERS, AS WE WRAP 2025, IT’S MY GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU THE FINAL UNCONTAMINATED CONVERSATION OF THE YEAR WITH MY FRIEND AND MENTOR: ART DIRECTOR AND NOW AUTHOR KEVIN BANKS. WHILE PRE-RECORDED ON 12/03/25. KEVIN AND I CATCH UP AND HAVE A RAW CONVERSATION ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK.  

 SLOANE: THE ART SCHOOL UNDERWORLD OF 80’S NYC.

A memoir of sorts chronicling his heady art school days in 1980’s NYC, a period that truly could not be replicated in the present day.   


I hope this conversation brings some listeners back to a special and uniquely creative and unfiltered period of the city that never sleeps. 

Just an fyi this conversation does mention past reflections of being a youthful art student in 80’s New York with possibly some mention of use of booze and drugs, which represent Kevin's life experience trying to discover his artistic prowess.  

What started as a photography series then video series, "Uncontaminated Sound" is a conversation series for radio that follows comedians, musicians, fine artists, and actors with the primary objective to gain a particular insight into their creative processes which can only be fully unravelled by truly going behind the scenes. With "Uncontaminated Sound," Robert attempts to offer an intimate look into all of the rarely seen or known “little things” that take place during interviews and other similar social and private interactions with artists and performers. These features offer listeners real, raw, and authentic conversations.

Originally from Boston and moved to Brooklyn, Robert Lundberg now finds himself in New York's Hudson Valley. His photographic works have been featured in publications such as The Huffington Post, Paste Magazine, Brokelyn, Vents Magazine, Do NYC, No Depression, The Patch, and countless others including podcasts. Lundberg explores his own primal instinct through the making of subconscious markings, using a diverse array of mediums including acrylic, India ink, and charcoal, he hopes to express the visceral and nebulous inner workings of the self. He is also an advocate for a better planet and traveler, and in June had the honor of being a volunteer crew member and onboard reporter on the famed "American Promise," a 61' oceanographic research vessel for The Rozalia Project. Sailing out of Bar Harbor, ME he documented a 7 night excursion in the Gulf of Maine, while participating in a marine debris cleanup from Bois Bubert Island in collaboration with Maine Island Trail Association. Currently he is hashing out a few documentary ideas based off his experiences in Maine and his travels in Central America.
