Some Voices (00:00) Waudang 1 (00:26) “Howdy Doody” Theme (07:17) “Charlie Brown” Theme (07:45) “Vertigo” / “Psycho” Theme Medley (09:11) Fucshia (13:06) Triologue (17:28) Duologue (19:05) Solologue (19:49) Belem (20:36) Painted Desert (36:00) Live at the Metz’ Arsenal Part 2 (39:29) Quiet Money (46:26) The introductory chaos comes from R. Stevie Moore's second album, Delicate Tension. Recorded in 1978, but re-released at least twice and peppered with extra tracks over the decades. The first proper track, at about 00:25, is sacred flute music from New Guinea, recorded by Ragnar Johnson and assisted by Jessica Mayer. Wonderful folks, I'm sure. Robert Wyatt and his wife Alfreda Benge had some clout in getting these recordings released on Rounder in 1999. Digital mastering was done in July, 2015 and the revamped version of these recordings -- Sacred Flute Music from New Guinea-- will be out in mid-April on the Ideologic Organ label. Switching up rather radically, the following three tracks are from guitarist Gary Lucas, who has played with such wide-ranging artists as Captain Beefheart, Peter Hammill, and Jeff Buckley, as well as amassing an impressive body of solo work. These oddball takes on movie themes are from Lucas's album Cinefantastique. Next comes the track "Fuchsia" from the album Amaranth, by the trio who goes by the name Icepick -- Nate Wooley, Chris Corsano, and Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten. Wooley plays trumpet, Corsano is on drums, and Haker-Flaten plays double-bass. Monofonous, 2016. The following three tracks also feature Nate Wooley, as well as Zeena Parkins and Vera Westera. The music and texts on this album are inspired by Charles Baudelaire and are the brainchild of composer Bojan Vuletic, who gave the trio of musicians ideas to work with and then reworked their playing into the final product. Partly composed, partly improvised. See here for more details regarding this fascinating record, fugitive beauté. The next two tracks are performances by the MMM Quartet - Fred Frith, Joelle Leandre, Alvin Curran and Urs Leimgruber, on guitar, double bass, piano, and sax, respectively. The first MMM track is titled "Belem" and is from the album Oakland/Lisboa. The second track, "Part 2" is the tail end of a concert given by the quartet from the album Live at Metz Arena. These tracks are separated by an intermission: "Painted Desert" is from the album The Pharaoh's Bee by ex-Pere Ubu member Allen Ravenstine. Ravenstine was the Ubu member responsible for upping the chaos ante by adding analog synthesizer noise to the proceedings. Quite unlike his contributions to Ubu, this album is full of gentle, meditative sounds, albeit not without a certain edge. More info here. Finally, "Quiet Money" by The Remote Viewers, from their latest album, November Sky. More info on The RVs here. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed compiling it!

Un volume collettaneo che muove dalle rivoluzioni in corso nel Nord Africa per guardare più in generale ai movimenti e alle forme di insubordinazione che stanno segnando la crisi dell’ordine mondiale neoliberista. In un’ottica postcoloniale, il volume pone in evidenza, da un lato come le ex colonie rappresentino nell’attualità un laboratorio di processi politici più avanzati rispetto alle ex metropoli e, dall’altro, la necessità di guardare agli effetti che i rivolgimenti nel Maghreb e nel Mashreq cominciano ad avere sul regime europeo di controllo delle migrazioni e dei «confini esterni» dell’Unione. Le rivolte nordafricane rappresentano una sfida al processo di integrazione europea e soprattutto al neoliberismo e alla finanziarizzazione globale. Saranno presenti alcuni degli autori: Ambra Pirri, Anna Curcio, Sandro Mezzadra Ore 22.30 Concerto PAUL LOVENS' SPIN Spin suona una musica nuova che da sempre esiste, ci si dimentica subito che si tratta d'improvvisazione, si direbbe che i musicisti di Spin attingano da un repertorio arcaico che tutti inconsciamente conoscono ma che viene rivelato solo nel momento stesso della percezione. L'ascoltatore crea dentro di sè la musica di Spin, i musicisti propongono solo l'esperienza sonora. Guy Bettini tromba Louis Schild basso Paul Lovens batteria

Puns in German can become much too confusing even for Germans. A "drum-free piano-intoxication", what is the meaning of this? You'll find out easily by listening.
