Podcast appearances and mentions of Anna Meredith

Love har lyssnat på Roy Woods träffsäkra pastischer och vill slå ett slag för inspirationen. Robert lyfter ädelt och osjälviskt den kvinnliga musikskaparen Anna Meredith (medarbetare till beatboxern Shlomo och fluffer till These New Puritans) och har fått mejl av Fredrik Furtenbach angående en frän nål. Talk Talk, The Move, Robyn Hitchcock, Temple City Kazoo Orchestra och instrumentet chalumeau förekommer. Vi är oense om post-Barrett-Pink Floyd och så spikar vi det korrekta uttalet av "sampla", varpå Robert omedelbart bryter mot det. Vi följer dragflöjten genom pophistorien, vilket visar sig vara en deprimerande historia om glömska och försummelse, men också en historia där Louis Armstrong, Whistler's Jug Band, Hoosier Hot Shots, Pink Floyd, Vernon Burch och Deee-Lite förekommer. Roberts hemläxa tar oss denna gång till Västafrika under 2020-talet, där framför allt upptäckterna Star Feminine Band och Supreme Talent Show INTE får missas. I Bisarra hörnan hör vi om en religiös extas som mycket lätt kan misstas för att vara av annat slag, och så har Love gjort en låt. _Star Feminine Band från Benin_ _Malis tyngsta skivomslag_ _Roberts fräna nål_ _Kanske den störste dragflöjtisten av alla_

Anna Meredith Interview In this weeks episode of Sync Music Matters I'm talking to Anna Meredith MBE Anna was awarded an MBE for Services to Music in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours List. She's a genre-crossing composer and producer whose work blends the worlds of contemporary classical, art pop, electronica and experimental rock. In terms of her artist work you can check out Varmints for which she won the Scottish Album of the Year award and Mercury Prize nominated album FIBS which Pitchfork lauded as one of the best experimental albums of 2019  Recent Film credits include The End We Start From starring Jodie Comer, Paul Rudd's dark comedy Living With Yourself for Netflix  and A24s Tuesday starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus which is due to be released this year.  Anna Meredith's Website

This is Part 2 of a 2-part interview I did with Anna Meredith. Her husband, Adam, checked into the hospital on September 5th, 2023 for routine procedures. Just two days later she received a call that she never expected.  “I'm so sorry, Mrs. Meredith…it appears your husband has had a stroke, and he has passed away.”  In this true story of Adam's call to Heaven and back, he and Anna recall their experiences from opposite sides of eternity. As Anna processes the biggest heartbreak in her life, Adam wrestles with his greatest questions about his faith and trust in God. In sixty unresponsive minutes, Adam finds his belief and faith have turned to knowledge, and he will never be the same again. There is a profound message in this conversation, and I know you'll enjoy it. So sit back and listen in as Anna Meredith shares her story!   ------------------- Adam Provost Meredith was a devout man of faith, dedicated family man, brilliant entrepreneur, and loyal friend. He had an endless vault of talents and passions which he selflessly shared, particularly in his leadership role at Celebrate Recovery ministry.  Adam began his education at the University of Colorado, earning his undergrad in Political Science and Economics. In 1999, after earning his MBA/MSF in International Business from Boston College, Adam began his banking career at Eastern Bank. Soon after, his passion for cars inspired him to co-found the automotive distributor TJM Motorsport in Concord, NH. He also held a passion for flying which landed him a job as a senior lender at  Santander's Aircraft Lending Group in Manchester, NH. He was then recruited by Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association in 2013 to form a new member services group as President of AOPA Finance, where he helped it grow to the largest aircraft financing broker in the nation. He proudly represented AOPA as a board member of National Aircraft Finance Association for two terms from 2015 -2021. Adam was a man dedicated to his family, including his wife, Anna Irena Meredith, and his sons, Donald Provost (15), and Karl Herbst (14). He was a beacon of faith, family, ambition, courage, love, and resilience, and his gentle personality continues to resonate within the hearts of everyone he encountered.  On December 11, 2023, he peacefully returned to his Maker after a fierce three-year battle with cancer. Love God, live in the moment, have no regrets, and do not be afraid to follow your dreams.   This is the legacy Adam Provost Meredith is forever leaving behind.   ----------------   Gone for 60 Minutes: How My Near Death Experience Took Me From Believing to Knowing is available now on Amazon.  

Without a doubt, this is one of the most emotional interviews we've ever done on this podcast. In fact, it is such a powerful episode that we decided to break it into 2 Parts so that you can let the story and the message really sink in. In this episode -- Part 1 -- you start to hear the story of Adam Meredith. You will learn about the beautiful life he created with his wife, Anna, and his two sons, and the deep love and connection they all had. You are gong to hear about his passions and hobbies in life, and how he was a man of faith. You will also learn how the family handled the news when he was diagnosed with cancer.  This episode sets the stage for the Part 2 where you will hear about Adam's near death experience and the message he was told to come back and share.  Listen to this one first so you get to know the Adam and learn about his family and his life. It will make you even more interested to listen to Part 2 which is coming soon.   ----------------- Adam Provost Meredith was a devout man of faith, dedicated family man, brilliant entrepreneur, and loyal friend.

Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and composer and conductor Thomas Adès explore the musical universe of the Violin Concerto; pianist Tamara Stefanovich describes meeting the composer and the intensity and fragility required to perform his music; Tom joins composer Anna Meredith in her studio to listen to one of his last works, the Hamburg Concerto; and György Ligeti's son, the composer and instrumentalist Lukas Ligeti reveals the passion he shared with his father for creating imaginary worlds, both musical and non-musical. Tom also talks to conductor Iván Fischer - the founder of the acclaimed Budapest Festival Orchestra - ahead of his appearances at the BBC Proms and at Edinburgh International Festival this summer. They discuss the difficulties of changing how symphony orchestras work, how his orchestra's mission to bring music to the communities of Budapest translates when they're on tour, and why mistakes are a very good thing. Plus musicians and noise. With recent stories about noise complaints against both musicians rehearsing at home and long-established music venues, we talk to Clara Cullen from the Music Venues Trust, Stuart Darke from the Independent Society of Musicians and Lisa Lavia from the Noise Abatement Society about the law, the psychology and how to balance the needs of musicians with the rights of communities for peace and quiet.

David Pickard discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. David Pickard studied Music at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, before starting his career as Company Manager of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Following this, David worked at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park and was the Assistant Director for the Japan Festival (1991) before becoming Sir John Drummond's deputy at the European Arts Festival. In 1993 he was appointed Chief Executive of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment where he significantly increased the orchestra's artistic reputation and international profile, helping to establish the OAE as the pre-eminent period-instrument orchestra in the world. In 2001 he was made General Director of Glyndebourne Festival where during his tenure he created an extensive digital programme including online streaming, big-screen and cinema relays and broadened the company's audience base through specially priced performances for young people and a pioneering education programme. In November 2015, David took up the role of Director of the BBC Proms. Since then he has introduced a number of initiatives, all in support of the Proms' central mission: to bring ‘the best of classical music to the widest possible audience.' These have included an innovative series called ‘Proms at…' exploring music in new spaces, both in London and around the UK. He has introduced greater diversity among the composers, conductors and soloists showcased by the Proms - both in gender and ethnicity - and has also made youth music-making and youth audiences a major focus. He has expanded the range of genres explored in the festival to include gaming music, contemporary jazz, world music and, in 2018, a twenty minute animated light show projected onto the external and internal façades of the Royal Albert Hall, accompanied by a new work for orchestra and chorus by Anna Meredith.

i’ve been thinking a lot about storytelling. i feel like i’ve been telling stories in one form or another forever. i mean, we all do. we play make-believe as kids but i do the exact same thing now. maybe we just call it “banter” or something instead. but we riff off each other and create worlds and fantasy. i think that’s so fun, and when you find someone you immediately banter with well, it’s just such a cool connection. or we run through scenarios in our heads but we call it “anxiety” and typically keep these stories to ourselves.so many things to share about storytelling but one thing i think is so interesting is that i think my interest in telling stories has been strengthened and nurtured in therapy. when you talk to your therapist you are telling them your story. and if you’re doing it like me, every small story comes with additional context and tangents and reflection and that’s even before i give them a chance to respond. and then further reflecting on particular moments and themes allows me to connect them to other moments and themes and all of a sudden you find yourself trapped in this spider web of a life story. actually, no - i’m the spider, and i’m not trapped at all. i bounce around carefully from thread to thread, weaving new lines, rewriting old memories, eating flies.and then every time you transition to a new therapist it’s a chance to tell your entire story over again. and you’re so excited about that part of it. maybe too earnest. you weave more bits and pieces of story together and each time you think you have a better understanding of who and why you are. sometimes i’m concerned that i’m overconfident in the work that i’ve done and my ability to communicate it. i’m wondering about the performance of it all. is the story i tell about me actually me right now or a me i aspire to? can it be both? believing that someday i could write a memoir seems laughable but i want to. would you read it? it’ll be so embarrassing but it feels necessary to share it all.i’m just a few weeks into a break from formal therapy right now, but i’m still storytelling. recently it’s been with friends. in the actual real friend world. which i’m enjoying. and opening up in these spaces feels like it means something totally different than it had in therapy. i’m grateful to therapy for helping me explore my own stories but right now i’m more excited about connections and mashups and crossover episodes with friends. excited about friend stories colliding with my own and for the impact to be meaningful for them and for me.DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Barry “Posh Club” Barry02:52 Hectorine “Motel Song” Hectorine07:21 Screaming Females “Zoo Of Death” Singles Too10:51 Amy O “Blueberries” Shell13:35 Empath “Drunken Angel” Drunken Angel / The Other Side16:25 Anna Meredith “Killjoy” FIBS20:07 Brave Radar “Face The Light” Brave Radar in… It’s Honey’s World21:19 Warp “Abracadabra” Traffic Control23:45 Great Grandpa “English Garden” Four of Arrows26:22 Black Marble “Shoulder” Bigger Than Life30:31 Brazilian Wax “Unicorn” Still Rippin’33:46 Dress Forms “places” we don’t dig guitars35:27 Dry Cleaning “Sit Down Meal” Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks EP39:06 Olivia’s World “SuperValu” Olivia’s World42:06 Mikal Cronin “Apathy” Mikal Cronin44:43 tombo crush “gaze aversion” text me when you get home45:52 Noera “FMLA” Pearls48:51 Walrus “Cool to Who” Cool to Who53:08 hanu vu “Order” Nicole Kidman / Anne Hathaway55:43 TOPS “Echo of Dawn” Echo of Dawn / Seven Minutes57:53 yipee! “The Mall of America, MN” The Cheese Store, MO/The Mall of America, MN59:52 Eyelash “Eating Art” Demo62:10 Macho Blush “Healing Artist” User Guide64:55 Mikayla McVey “roommates” Desert Companion67:48 Vagabon “Water Me Down” Vagabon

Presenter Tom Service visits the Pit Theatre at the Barbican to learn more about a new theatrical meditation on the bittersweet consolations of sorrow. He speaks to countertenor Iestyn Davies about the melancholy of John Dowland's music and its power to process grief, while the director Netia Jones tells Tom how she's weaved together creative visuals with philosophical musings of Robert Burton's 17th-century treatise The Anatomy of Melancholy as well as those of Freud and other contemporary experts of the human condition. As the BBC celebrates its centenary, Music Matters is joined by composers Matthew Herbert and Anna Meredith, and Artistic Associate of the Southbank Gillian Moore, to discuss the corporation's role as a commissioner of contemporary repertoire during the past 100 years. Tom catches-up with composer Tom Floyd, singer Sophie Goldrick, and Professor Marion Thain during rehearsals of a new opera, Veritable Michael, which charts the creative life and love affair of two women who operated together under the pseudonym Michael Field – a 19th century fictional author whose work was celebrated by the likes of Oscar Wilde and Robert Browning. And Tom takes a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum where he'd joined by Harriet Reed, the co-curator of Re:Imagining Musicals – a new display of glittering costumes and musical memorabilia – to explore the craftmanship, creative renewal, and evolutionary impetus behind some of the most iconic musicals of the past seven decades.

Somerset House Studios resident Anna Meredith is a composer who takes writing playful music seriously. But her process is anything but reckless.  Over the summer she set herself a challenge, to write a series of compositions for bumper cars which would be installed in the courtyard of Somerset House for Dodge.  Tunes would be triggered when the bumper cars bumped. But this posed some tricky questions. How can you control the structure of the composition when the audience is in the driving seat? Who is the composer here, Anna or the drivers? Anna sits down with her studio neighbour Nick Ryan, who has been working at the forefront of interactive music, to hear about where this genre might be headed before talking to games designer Nick Moran to hear how to organise fun.  Additional music in this episode is by Anna Meredith and Emahoy Tsegué-maryam Guèbrou. - The Process  A new Somerset House Podcast series  We're used to experiencing the work of an artist in its final form - in the gallery, on the stage, or mixed on an album. But what has been the journey to get there? Somerset House is home to a community of over 100 artists and makers. (And by extension,  it is often the home for the artistic process too), with much of the work we present being conceived and made in the building, from start to finish.  This podcast goes behind the scenes on that process with the artists themselves. Each episode explores one big idea emerging from a work in progress and follows the thread, from the artists' initial inspiration, through the cross section of thinkers who helped them get there, to hear the form it might take next.  Producer: Alannah Chance Series Presenter: Laurent John Exec Producer: Eleanor Scott Theme music: Ka Baird Additional Sound Design: Harry Murdoch Mastered by: Nick Ryan Produced as part of the Creators-in-Residence Programme 2021 Supported by The Rothschild Foundation

The geologist Sanjeev Gupta tells Michael Berkeley about his search for evidence of ancient life in rocks on Mars with the help of NASA's Mars Rovers, and he plays unique recordings of sounds from the surface of Mars. Professor Sanjeev Gupta is a scientist who takes the long view, the very long view, into Deep Time. As the Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow at Imperial College London, he investigates how landscapes have evolved over vast spans of time. His work as a geologist has meant camping out alone for months at a time in some of the world's most remote places. And Sanjeev Gupta is part of a team of hundreds of scientists working on one of humanity's most ambitious expeditions ever - NASA's three billion dollar Perseverance Mars Rover which is helping us to understand what that planet was like an astonishing three-and-a-half billion years ago. The team is searching for evidence of ancient life in rocks on the Red Planet, rocks that will hopefully be returned to earth for analysis in 2031. Music is vital to Sanjeev Gupta's life. He brings Michael Berkeley music by Bach, Messiaen and Handel and by contemporary composers Peteris Vasks, John Luther Adams and Anna Meredith, music which conjures ‘visions of the beyond' – starlight, canyons, oceans and heaven. Sanjeev describes the surreal experience of helping to operate the Perseverance Rover as it landed on Mars in February 2021 from a flat above a hairdresser in Lewisham when restrictions prevented him from travelling to NASA Mission Control in California. And he recalls the transcendent experience of listening to music alone on long field trips in the vast deserts of Utah. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3

British singer, producer, and composer Anna Meredith is a musical chameleon, fusing contemporary chamber with electronics and dance music on her record, Varmints. Actually, classical, rock, electronica, and minimalism are all part of Anna Meredith's sonic palette, and in addition to a stint as composer in residence with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, she is also a singer/songwriter who leads her own unusually constructed band - wielding keys, laptop, bells, & clarinet alongside a band of musicians playing tuba, cello, drums and guitar. This creative and unusual band plays in-studio. (From the Archives, 2017.)  

The west coast-based sound-maker and experimenter Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith weaves melodic patterns and pulses, using various analogue synthesizers – like the rare EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer, a vintage Buchla modular synthesizer, earning her a fun title as a composer and producer – “synthesist.”  On Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's 2017 album, The Kid, she crafts a playfully strange expression of human awareness via these synthesized sound designs that falls neither in the pop world nor the avant/classical one. Synthesist, producer and composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith joins us in the studio to perform some of her recent creations. RIYL: the films of Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, Suzanne Ciani, Joshua Light Show, Euclidean geometry, Anna Meredith, and s t a r g a z e.    

Join veteran broadcaster Max Reinhardt in conversation with Anna Meredith MBE about her latest project, 'Bumps per minute'. Expect the unexpected in this feature-length interview peppered with high-octane, thrilling music inspired by dodgems (yep, the fairground rides). A composer and performer who is often defined as, well, 'uncategorisable', Anna's genre-defying music straddles the worlds of contemporary rock, art pop, techno, experimental rock and large-scale installations. Max and Anna explore the influences and creative process behind 'Bumps per minute', an interactive artwork currently taking centre stage at Somerset House that reinvents and reimagines the humble dodgem.

Phenomenal new music abounds on this week's Independent Music Podcast. Kicking off with bumper car/dodgem experimental from the always forward-thinking Anna Meredith, we shift through dub, hiphop, techno, and goth folk on this week's journey. Other highlights this week include the sublime collaboration between Deafbrick, Kenyan duo Duma, and Swiss producer Simon Grab, an Argentinian edit of a classic b-side, the new one from Vanishing Twin and much more.

This summer Somerset House in London will be home to a new work by composer Anna Meredith, Bumps Per Minute, which has a distinctly fairground feel. It uses the random interactions of dodgem cars to create a new piece of music. And members of the public are invited to take part in the composition as dodgem drivers. Anna Meredith talks about what inspired her to create a work which mixes fun, frivolity and musical experimentation. The British Podcast Awards have been created to highlight the best podcasts of the year in the UK. Laura Grimshaw, presenter of Podcast Radio Hour on Radio 4 Extra, takes a look at a selection of this year's 29 winners – from 1600 entries - which includes two new categories; best documentary and best lockdown podcast. We continue our exploration of debates within the publishing industry. Tonight we consider different generational attitudes around ideas of censorship, the moral role of publishing houses and the responsibilities of individual employees when it comes to which works get published. In rows over authors from Mike Pence to Woody Allen many younger publishers have signalled reluctance to work on books they deem hateful and literary agent Clare Alexander described what she saw as a “watershed moment" at a recently parliamentary hearing about freedom of expression. We talk to Tanu Shelar, Chair of the Society of Young Publishers and Caroline Wintersgill, Programme Director of University College London's MA in publishing. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Oliver Jones

While the history of electronic music includes many notable men whose stories have been frequently celebrated, the genre has also provided a space for a wide range of extraordinary women to create a musical room of their own. Working with machines meant being able to sidestep many of the hurdles that stood in the way of women aspiring to a musical career, such as access to orchestras, commissions and concert halls, and an over-riding failure to be taken seriously by the male musical gate-keepers. Elizabeth Alker examines the connections between early pioneers such as Eliane Radigue and Daphne Oram (who gained access to studios thanks to the second world war), those musicians who followed in their immediate wake such as Suzanne Ciani and Laurie Spiegel, and today's generation of female composers. Anna Meredith, Holly Herndon, Afrodeutsche and JLin all speak with Elizabeth about their own work and the debt they owe their predecessors. Central to the story is the composer and academic Pauline Oliveros, who founded the San Francisco Tape Music Centre, and whose theories around deep-listening as a feminist act shape so much of the texture of the music created by the women and men who followed her. This is music, Elizabeth argues, which has an emphasis on tone and texture. This lends it a particular quality making it both distinct from its male equivalent and also profoundly beautiful and rich.

iTunes          Spotify          Youtube           Patreon Dana Wachs is a Brooklyn based composer and audio engineer, that performs under the name Vorhees. Dana studied cello and electric bass from an early age. At nineteen, she joined the DC hardcore group Holy Rollers (Dischord Records) and dove deep into a world of touring and live sound. Audio engineering would define the following twenty years of her life, starting with interning, and eventually assistant engineering at Greene Street Recording NYC. With the closure of the studio, Dana returned her focus to live engineering, which led to house positions at venerable New York venues such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, (le) Poisson Rouge, Tonic NYC, and Elsewhere Brooklyn. She’s also spent twenty years touring Internationally for critically acclaimed artists such as Cat Power, St. Vincent, Jon Hopkins, Deerhunter, Grizzly Bear, MGMT, (and many others), creatively mixing both FOH and monitors, as well as tour managing and production managing. In 2009, she debuted her solo compositions and has since continued to work on her own music. She has performed at Basilica Soundscape 2013, Iceland Airwaves 2014, New York shows supporting Anna Meredith, Matmos, and Josef Van Wissem, as well as tours including supporting Beth Orton in Australia, Cat Power in America, and Deerhunter in the U.K. and Europe. Vorhees debut EP, Black Horse Pike, was released in 2016 via Styles Upon Styles (Brooklyn). Black Horse Pike was written, recorded and produced by Dana Wachs in her Brooklyn home between tours. In 2017, she composed and performed in parts II and III of a performance art piece titled Rural Violence, directed by Brandon Stousy (The Creative Independent), with part II presented by artist Matthew Barney. In conjunction, she collaborated with George Clarke of Deafheaven, forming the new duo Wachs & Clarke, for the 20 minute accompanying music piece RVIII: Invocation.

I had a chat with Anna Meredith, who is the only person I can think of who has been awarded both an MBE and released albums on indie label Moshi Moshi. Mercury nominated Anna has been Composer in Residence with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and won the 2019 Ivor Novello Composer Award for Innovation. Not only that but was Goldie's mentor on the TV show Classic Goldie and at the same time I find her own LPs bristle with an impossible to define physical voltage . I love her unique approach to music, and we had a revealing and, I think, funny chat that debunks a lot of the romantic perceptions about creativity.http://www.annameredith.comTitle music by ESO
