The Bratislava Declaration was adopted last week in the Slovak capital, calling on the European Union to draft a European Act on Artistic Freedom—a legal framework designed to protect freedom of expression, creative independence, and the autonomy of cultural institutions across member states. The Days of Early Music festival kicks off in Bratislava on June 6 with a special concert by the Sollazzo ensemble, featuring a selection from one of the rarest late Gothic manuscripts—the Leuven Chansonnier.

Guest and HostGuest: Scott “Shagghie” Scheferman, Artist: Raw. Analogue Techno. | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottscheferman/ | Bandcamp: https://highsage.bandcamp.com/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesThe latest episode of Music Evolves brings a fascinating discussion with Scott “Shagghie” Scheferman, a longtime cybersecurity professional and electronic music creator. Host Sean Martin sits down with Scheferman to explore the intersection of creativity, technology, and music—challenging the traditional definitions of hacking and how it applies to the artistic process.The Hacker Mindset in MusicScheferman, who has spent decades working in cybersecurity, explains how his approach to music is deeply influenced by the hacker mindset. Traditionally associated with computers and networks, hacking is about problem-solving, exploration, and pushing boundaries. For Scheferman, that same mentality extends to music—whether modifying effects pedals beyond their intended use, experimenting with modular synthesizers, or applying unconventional methods to sound creation.This perspective reframes the way we think about creativity: hacking isn't just breaking things—it's about finding new ways to build. In music, that could mean repurposing technology, combining analog and digital tools, or embracing unexpected results to drive innovation.The Role of Technology in Music CreationA core theme of the conversation is how technology shapes the way music is created and experienced. From the early days of analog synthesizers to today's AI-driven tools, technology has always played a role in expanding musical possibilities. Scheferman describes his studio setup, filled with modular synthesizers, custom effects pedals, and digital sequencing tools, as an evolving playground for sound experimentation.One of the key takeaways is that while technology can enable creativity, it can also introduce constraints. Whether it's the frustration of a technical failure or the overwhelming options provided by AI-driven music tools, technology isn't just a tool—it's a collaborator. Sometimes, the best results come from working within limitations or intentionally breaking the rules.AI, Automation, and the Future of MusicThe conversation also touches on artificial intelligence and its growing role in music composition. AI tools can generate melodies, suggest chord progressions, and even simulate human-like performances. But does AI-enhanced music lose something essential?Scheferman shares his thoughts on where technology ends and artistry begins. While AI can assist in generating ideas or automating tedious processes, it doesn't replace the human connection to music. He sees AI as a tool for acceleration rather than substitution—something that can help musicians explore new ideas but should not dictate creative choices.This is particularly relevant when it comes to live performance and improvisation. A computer can generate perfect beats and sequences, but can it capture the spontaneous interplay between musicians, the imperfections that make a performance feel alive? That's still an open question.The Human Element in SoundBeyond the technical aspects, Scheferman and Martin discuss the emotional power of music. Whether it's an acoustic guitar, an electrified soundscape, or a fully synthesized production, music has the ability to transport listeners to different states of mind.They reflect on how people connect with sound—how live performances create an irreplaceable energy, how vinyl records provide a tactile experience that digital streaming lacks, and how technology might change the way future generations perceive and create music. The question remains: as digital tools become more dominant, will we continue to crave raw, unprocessed sound?A Collaboration of Sound and EmotionAs the episode wraps up, Scheferman shares a track he created with his wife, Kati Rockit, blending electronic production with rock-influenced vocals. Their collaboration highlights another key theme of the episode—music as dialogue. Whether between humans and technology or between two creative partners, the best results often come from interplay, not isolation.This episode of Music Evolves is a must-listen for anyone interested in how technology and creativity intersect. It challenges assumptions about what it means to be a musician in the digital age and invites listeners to rethink how they interact with sound.

In this episode of The Creative Podcast, we sit down with filmmaker and entrepreneur Nur Niaz about his transition from commercial directing to building a successful YouTube channel and online business. Nur shares how political instability and economic challenges in Kazakhstan pushed him to pivot careers, leading to newfound creative and growing financial freedom as an artist. He discusses the struggle of balancing artistry with business, overcoming self-doubt, and redefining his identity beyond traditional filmmaking. Nur also reflects on the importance of community, valuing friendships outside of the creative industry while seeking a network of like-minded individuals. He shares how YouTube became both a business and a creative outlet, allowing him to monetize his content through digital products and ads while shifting to a more exploratory, documentary-style approach to filmmaking. He opens up about his struggles with depression, the role of therapy, and how honest communication with his wife helped him navigate his lowest moments. The conversation also sparks reflection in Carlo, making him question his own creative path and how to balance personal fulfillment with career evolution.Nur Niaz:  ⁠Instagram | ⁠WebsiteCarlo: ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠The Creative Gap:⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ |⁠ ⁠Youtube⁠⁠SUPPORT THE PODCAST ON⁠ ⁠PATREON⁠____________________________________________________⚙️ GEAR USED TO MAKE THIS PODCAST:Rodecaster Pro II: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RluSeV⁠Rode Podmic: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RpaR77⁠Mic Stand: ⁠https://amzn.to/4caJUfi⁠Camera 1: ⁠https://amzn.to/45h5E7b⁠Camera 2: ⁠https://amzn.to/45g8iKx⁠Light: ⁠https://amzn.to/3KK6XSt⁠

What if the mind could fish for ideas just as easily as one casts a line into the sea? Join us on a voyage into the enigmatic world of the late David Lynch as we explore his profound influence on creativity. From the haunting landscapes of "Twin Peaks" to the visceral imagery in "Eraserhead," Lynch's work has left an indelible mark on the arts. We share personal stories about encountering Lynch's films for the first time and how his distinct vision has shaped our own artistic paths. The episode also highlights Lynch's unique approach to capturing ideas, likening them to fish swimming in the vast ocean of our subconscious, just waiting to be caught with the right amount of patience and silence.The art of meditation takes center stage in our conversation, revealing how it can be a powerful tool for achieving balance in your studio practice. By examining David Lynch's philosophy and the insights from his book "Catching the Big Fish," we delve into how meditation aids in nurturing the true self. This introspective journey includes reflections on the wisdom of philosophers like Donald Winnicott, historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln and musical poets like Nick Cave, with anecdotes that illustrate how meditation serves as both a shield and a weapon against life's inevitable challenges. The discussion underscores the importance of clarity and focus in the pursuit of artistic expression.In the quest for creative freedom, we navigate the essentialism and the balance between light and darkness in the artistic journey. We uncover the liberating potential of saying no to distractions, embracing the mystery of the unknown, and documenting fleeting thoughts to ensure they aren't lost to time. Practical tips come to life, offering listeners ways to capture inspiration through journaling and other methods. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this episode invites you to rethink the boundaries of your creative process and rediscover the joy of genuine artistic freedom.

A graphic designer and lifelong poet, Teresa Kiplinger came to metal later in life as a way to keep herself busy through the end of a painful marriage. Not long after, she experienced the unimaginable loss of her teenaged stepson.  Wearing her pain like a heavy cloak, she turned to her metalwork and poetry to work through her grief, making a bracelet in his memory, etched with a poem to him. This bracelet, a reminder of her love for him, was a comforting presence in the months that followed.  From this deeply personal and difficult loss, Teresa says she found her voice.  During this conversation Teresa shares how her love of poetry and metal came together to so beautifully create what she has coined as modern memento mori jewelry. We discuss the healing and sometimes lifesaving powers of an art practice, curating a cohesive and compelling story, and the freedom that one can find with art as he or she ages. Follow Teresa...

Explore the pivotal role of John Barnes in crafting Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album, his unique collaboration with Jackson, and the creative conflicts that shaped its sound.Michael Jackson's iconic album 'Bad' is a testament to his musical genius and artistic evolution. While the King of Pop rightfully receives immense credit for his groundbreaking work, there exists an unsung hero behind the scenes whose influence was instrumental in shaping the album's sound – John Barnes.John Barnes: The Creative Force Behind 'Bad'John Barnes, often overlooked and underappreciated, played a significant role in crafting the majority of songs for Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album. His musical talents and unique sound caught Jackson's attention during the 'Victory Album' sessions, leading to a successful collaboration that would leave a lasting impact on music history. Barnes' collaboration with Jackson, especially on tracks like 'Buffalo Bill' and 'Liberian Girl,' exemplified a creative bond that transcended traditional producer-artist relationships.Michael Jackson's Quest for Artistic Freedom and the Assembly of a Dedicated TeamFollowing the unprecedented success of 'Thriller,' Michael Jackson made a pivotal decision to part ways with longtime collaborator Quincy Jones. This move was driven by Jackson's desire to explore new artistic directions and to have more creative control over his music. Jackson's thirst for artistic freedom led him to assemble a dedicated team, with John Barnes at its core, to work on his new material and guide his musical vision towards uncharted territories. The collaborative dynamic between Jackson and his team emphasized trust, creative freedom, and the pursuit of innovative sounds.Creative Conflicts: The Havenhurst vs Westlake Production StylesDuring the production of the 'Bad' album, tensions arose between the Havenhurst team, which included John Barnes and Bill Botrell, and Quincy Jones' Westlake team. The clash of production styles highlighted the differing approaches to crafting music, with Quincy Jones opting to re-record parts of the Havenhurst tracks. This decision led to creative conflicts and concerns over the originality and impact of the music, as the Havenhurst team's contributions were essential to the album's overall sound and direction. The conflict between the two production teams underscored the challenges of balancing creative autonomy with collaborative efforts in the music industry.The Legacy of John Barnes in Michael Jackson's MusicThe legacy of John Barnes in Michael Jackson's music extends far beyond the 'Bad' album. Barnes' innovative sounds and production style left an indelible mark on Jackson's discography, influencing not only the sound of individual tracks but also the broader direction of Jackson's musical evolution. Despite the creative conflicts and challenges faced during the 'Bad' album's creation, the contributions of John Barnes serve as a testament to the unsung heroes who shape and define the music industry behind the scenes.In conclusion, the story of John Barnes is a reminder of the intricate collaborations and creative processes that lie at the heart of iconic albums like Michael Jackson's 'Bad.' While the spotlight often shines on the headline acts, it is crucial to acknowledge and celebrate the unsung heroes like Barnes, whose talents and dedication pave the way for groundbreaking musical achievements.Hébergé par Ausha.

Listen in as I, Nic Torres, explore the multifaceted world of commission pottery, guiding you through the perks and pitfalls of custom ceramic creations. I kick things off by revealing how commissioned work can significantly enhance your pottery skills, pushing you to craft one-of-a-kind pieces that can not only broaden your artistic repertoire but also fill your pockets. Embrace the challenge as it thrusts you out of your comfort zone, compelling you to grow as an artist and discover new dimensions within your craft. But it's not all smooth spinning on the pottery wheel—tune in as I also unpack the potential downsides of commission work. Dealing with the unpredictability of customer demands can lead to frustrating scenarios where your hard work doesn't see the light of day—or the inside of a kiln. Plus, I'll discuss how creative freedom can be stifled when your artistic expression is bound to the specifications of a client's vision. Whether you're a seasoned potter or your hands have only recently met the clay, this conversation is tailored to give you a balanced perspective on navigating the world of commissioned pottery.

Join me as I chat with filmmaker Mark Brown. Mark shares his journey from impulsively attending a workshop to becoming an established wedding filmmaker, detailing his thought process, mistakes, and learnings throughout his career. He provides valuable insights into his creative process, choice of equipment and discusses the evolution of his work over time. A deep dive into his unconventional approach to wedding videography reveals his philosophy of capturing genuine moments instead of staged performances.  My favorite part of the conversation was on self-investment and the freedom of being unapologetically yourself, having the right team, and tips for aspiring artists round off a stimulating discussion.  About Mark:  Mark Brown is a storyteller & documentarian, working with vintage movie cameras and Kodak film. He is one of the first to bring Super 8 to the wedding world, and continues to inspire with his award winning style and 'Somewhere' workshops, which introduces photographers and filmmakers to motion picture format.

Ever wonder what it truly means to embark on a creative journey? Do the fears and insecurities that often masquerade as a need for 'optimal conditions' sound familiar to you? This podcast episode is an open exploration into the labyrinth of creativity, where we unpack personal experiences of struggling to find the right time to launch our passion projects, and the psychological barriers that hold us back. We challenge the traditional linear ranking of artists, discuss how it stifles creativity, and share personal narratives about overcoming our fears and insecurities. There's a raw, unfiltered discussion about the motivations behind creating art, how pure intentions can often get muddled, and how external factors like financial security can influence the drive to create. We take personal anecdotes from our own lives, and even draw examples from the life of Kurt Cobain, to discuss the concept of compulsion in art, asking ourselves: Can financial security hinder an artist's drive to create? We share insights on how art can be therapeutic, the importance of detachment from the outcome, and the transformative potential of meaningful projects. We round off this episode by sharing tips and strategies to push through discomfort and take the first step of your creative journey. Hear us talk about overcoming doubts, embracing compulsion, and letting go of preconceived expectations. We share stories of inspiration, the power of productive conversations, and the importance of starting small and letting ideas flow freely. This is not just about creating art; it's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and finding your unique voice in a world that often seeks to mold us into something we're not. So come along, let's explore, let's create, and let's conquer our fears together.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review. We read and appreciate all of them.

In the episode we chat with Cuban artist and activist Tania Bruguera about her 30-year career as a pioneering artist advocating artistic freedom and human rights in Cuba and beyond. We discuss how she uses art as a tool of social change, transforming her audience into “citizens” to bring about real change. She coins the practice Arte Útil - art as a tool.We go on to discuss the systematic oppression she has faced for her work at the hands of the Cuban state, beginning thirty years ago with the publication of a magazine to today where she lives in forced exile. We end with Bruguera discussing her complex relationship with institutions and the controversy surrounding her current exhibition at the Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende in Chile.As always, if you are enjoying the Art Persists podcast please leave a review wherever you listen.

Retirement is a strange word for musicians. Financial freedom – working because you want to, not because you have to – doesn't work either. Most musicians want to “work” as long as possible. So what future state are musicians saving towards? Artistic freedom Complete control of your creative endeavors. Imagine making art free of financial, contractual, or commercial obligations. Does that sound like a way of life worth saving for? These are the accounts (in no particular order) best suited to achieve artistic freedom as a self-employed musician.

Artists and cultural institutions often cross borders by challenging conventional, religious, social, and political norms. As a result, they are under intense scrutiny, subjects to repression and even attacked by other parts of civil society. What measures are in place to ensure the protection of these artists? And how can international cultural relations contribute to safeguarding artistic freedom? This is the subject of the research project by Sara Whyatt and Ole Reitov, both experts for the UNESCO on this topic and today's guests in this episode of Die Kulturmitter:innen - Deep Dive. Their study will be published next year.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason — Song (Decca) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - The Knights by “Song really speaks to the vocal quality I find in all the pieces of music that I selected for my instrument,” cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason said about expressing his artistic freedom on his latest solo recording, Song. ”The cello has such a wonderful ability to sing in all of these different styles and combinations of instruments in arranging while improvising. The cool singing quality of the cello is something I enjoy exploring. I enjoyed making this album and it is very personal for me.” Can you talk about the opening arrangement on the album? “There's something very direct about these folk melodies. I made this arrangement just for solo cello with no harmony because I wanted to just appreciate the bare bones of the melody. I just wanted to play like that. “There's so much music on this recording, which uses the cello in different ways. I wanted to start with something very pure and the sound of a solo cello line. The voice of the cello develops throughout the disc and ends with a piece of pizzicato solo cello.” What was the title of the work you arranged for your grandmother? “The title is Myfanwy and I love the expressiveness of the falling intervals.” Are you playing this trio all by yourself? “Yes. I recorded three voices of just me. It's actually harder than I thought it would be to play with myself. Normally when I'm playing with other people, I'm in the room and I can physically feel what they are doing. But when it's coming through a headphone you're playing in a slightly different experience. It was a cool way to do it.” Can you talk about the Bach work arranged for four cellos?  “On that one, I was less lonely. I convinced four friends to play with me. I had my current teacher, one of my previous teachers and a couple of friends who have mentored me to join me on the album.” Can you talk about the world premiere of Edmund Finnis' Five Preludes? “I love the first prelude. There's a conversational and intimate feeling about it. The music speaks to me. I feel that I'm able to speak with it because it's music that doesn't shout out to grab your attention. Rather, it draws you into this intimate conversation. This intimacy is something that I enjoy exploring and performing.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Artistic Freedom

Artistic Freedom

Netflix has repeatedly doubled down on the transphobia they host on their platform, so this latest example should probably come as no surprise: on Thursday, the streaming service released a speech by Dave Chappelle called What's in a Name?, in which the comic calls the students who pushed back against the transphobic jokes in his standup special The Closer “unfair” and “instruments of oppression.”The 40-minute speech, which quietly dropped on Netflix without any prior announcement, was recorded at Chappelle's alma mater, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C., during a ceremony to rename the school's theater after him. However, in his speech, Chappelle announced that due to the controversy surrounding him, he declined to have the theater named after him. (The school eventually named it the Theater for Artistic Freedom and Expression instead.) Students at the school confronted Chappelle over the transphobia in The Closer during a Q&A back in November, and while the first 30 minutes of his speech at the naming ceremony mostly focus on his years attending Duke Ellington, the final 10 minutes address the pushback he received at that November event.“All the kids were screaming and yelling. I remember, I said to the kids, I go, ‘Well, okay, well what do you guys think I did wrong?' And a line formed,” Chappelle said. “These kids said everything about gender, and this and that and the other, but they didn't say anything about art. And this is my biggest gripe with this whole controversy with The Closer: That you cannot report on an artist's work and remove artistic nuance from his words. It would be like if you were reading a newspaper and they say, ‘Man Shot in the Face by a Six-Foot Rabbit Expected to Survive,' you'd be like, ‘Oh my god,' and they never tell you it's a Bugs Bunny cartoon.”Where, exactly, is the nuance in a joke that likens a trans person's genitalia to an Impossible burger, though? That's not some complex artistic statement that we're simply too stupid to grasp; it's just lazy hate speech passed off as a punchline.“When I heard those talking points coming out of these children's faces, that really, sincerely, hurt me,” Chappelle continued. “Because I know those kids didn't come up with those words. I've heard those words before. The more you say I can't say something, the more urgent it is for me to say it. And it has nothing to do with what you're saying I can't say. It has everything to do with my right, my freedom, of artistic expression. That is valuable to me. That is not severed from me. It's worth protecting for me, and it's worth protecting for everyone else who endeavors in our noble, noble professions.”“And these kids didn't understand that they were instruments of oppression,” Chappelle concluded. “And I didn't get mad at them. They're kids. They're freshmen. They're not ready yet. They don't know.”Again, no one is standing in the way of Chappelle's freedom of expression. He is being paid millions of dollars by Netflix to make these jokes. But freedom of expression doesn't men freedom from criticism; the students at Duke Ellington have a right to react to his specials however they see fit. And to argue that he's being “oppressed” because a handful of people got mad at him when Netflix has continued to throw obscene amounts of cash at him and defend him at every turn is completely laughable.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Amigues agaren sus pelucas!! Esta semana we have a very special guest; Catalina Garcia, singer/songwriter of the Colombian-based band Monsieur Perine! Temblaron!! This week I had the honor to sit with Cata and talk a little about the inspiration behind Monsieur Perine and their distinctively unique soundscape, the power of the stage, and their upcoming Volverte Tour. Disclosure: This episode is completely in Spanish. Also make sure to go to the Ford Amphitheater's website to get your tickets for their LA show on July 24. Nos vemos ahi!    Make sure to follow the band on instagram at @monsieurperine and Cata at @madameperine   

The right of artistic expression is one that we tend to take for granted....On this episode we dive into a very important and poignant documentary that reminds us of something we often taken for granted in a country like Canada.  On VOD now, it's 'The Story Won't Die'This film is an inspiring, timely look at a young generation of Syrian artists who use their work to protest and process what is currently the world's largest and longest ongoing displacement of people since World War II. The film is produced by Sundance Award-winning producer Odessa Rae (Navalny).Rapper Abu Hajar, together with other celebrated creative personalities of the Syrian uprising, a post-Rock musician (Anas Maghrebi), members of the first all-female Syrian rock band (Bahila Hijazi and Lynn Mayya), break-dancer (Bboy Shadow), choreographer (Medhat Aldaabal), and visual artists (Tammam Azzam, Omar Imam and Diala Brisly), use their art to rise in revolution and endure in exile in this new documentary reflecting on a battle for peace, justice and freedom of expression. It is an uplifting and humanizing look at what it means to be a refugee in today's world and offers inspiring and hopeful vantages on a creative response to the chaos of war. We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with director David Henry Gerson to talk about what caused him to make this film, how he found such a diverse array of subjects and so very much more....The Story Won't Die is on all VOD platforms now....

Among the many repercussions of the Covid pandemic, it caused actors, including myself, to question our purpose, our abilities, and our own belief in what it means to be an artist. Well, today's guest had many of these same doubts and questions well before there was any pandemic affecting our industry. He felt an internal struggle between what he wanted to do and what he thought he should to be doing. Brian Patacca is a life coach and podcaster as well as a non-denominational minister, but he started out as an actor, grinding it out, going to auditions, looking for representation. And he shares three stories of how he let go of expectations and allowed himself to find his purpose, to find his true calling. In the process he had to let go of plans and the very clear path he had laid out for himself. But in doing so he found a joy and fulfillment beyond anything he had anticipated.  Get a copy of WINMI's free ebook Creative Wisdom.  Subscribe to WINMI and get bonus episodes with Brian on Supercast Check out Artist Resources and follow WINMI on Instagram or Twitter. ---------- Why I'll Never Make It is hosted and by Off-Broadway actor and singer Patrick Oliver Jones and is a production of WINMI Media, LLC.

The Brian Breaks Character podcast takes you behind the scenes with people who proudly walk the path LEAST taken. Inspiring industry insiders, working actors, and solopreneurs offer down-and-dirty advice (and lotsa laughs), all while spilling the tea on how to bring home the bacon (or seitan) in a creative field. Brian proves that when actors and artists follow their purpose instead of playing by a tired set of industry rules (i.e. limiting beliefs), they can skip the drama, generate momentum, and build excitement around who they are and what they love to do the mostest.      FINAL FIVE with Brian Patacca Brian helps actors get what they want without all the struggle. He's helped actors as “The Representation Whisperer” and through his wildly popular online courses, coaching program, and entertaining podcast, Brian teaches actors how to market themselves authentically, use gratitude to open doors, and ultimately make more money. Brian is a graduate of Northwestern University, CTI's Co-Active Coach Training Program, Marianne Williamson's Teaching the Teachers – and on top of the education you'd expect a coach to have, Brian brings a spiritual and grounding approach to the biz that is rooted in his training as a non-denominational Reverend. And on the WINMI Blog he answers five final questions we didn't get to in this podcast episode, sharing the importance of making an impact as an artists rather than just making it in this industry.

For the season five finale of call and response, we celebrate FREEDOM. In a time where fear and scarcity feel wide-spread, how can we claim freedom, abundance, and liberation for ourselves? We talk with five artist-creators about what artistic freedom means to them. Hear from actor and multidimensional storyteller Ja'Michael De'Shawn, director Miranda Haymon, actor, musician, and singer-songwriter Tayler Harris, Broadway ad agency account executive Stevie Coleman, and Broadway photographer Marc J. Franklin.

What is artistic freedom and what does it mean for artists and musicians? What happens when a musician or an artist gets jailed for sharing their art? Based on FREEMUSE 2020 report 978 acts of violations of artistic freedom took place in 89 countries and online spaces. 17 artists were killed, 82 were imprisoned and 133 detained. Gaurav Narula from the WOMEX team speaks with Srirak Plipat, executive director of FREEMUSE (Freedom of musical expression) an international NGO advocating freedom of expression for artists and musicians worldwide, documenting violations of their rights to freedom of expression, and offers support and assistance to persecuted musicians.

Matt Quick is my brother from another mother. Every time we have a conversation we learn so much from each other! I loved being able to go deeper around his personal journey into becoming an artist (or remembering that he's always been one). We touch on many amazing topics like religion, psychedelics, the sexuality of art and why it is the source of universal creation, and how Matt uses the creative process to reflect deeper within himself.

In this episode I sat down with Eugene Ballet company dancers Sarah Kosterman and Josh Downard to discuss how they have been using their time away from the company to grow closer to their art and come back to dancing life stronger than they left it. They have been working on pas de deux's from different eras of classical ballet as well as some of Artistic Director Toni Pimble’s repertoire. We get into the challenges of self-coaching, their personal discoveries, where they sourced the choreography, studying other dancers, and how having freedom to choose what they work on has invigorated their passion for dance. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eugeneballet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/eugeneballet/support

Hva er det egentlig lov til å si eller antyde i en kunstnerisk ytring – og kan man komme unna med drøyere påstander i kunst enn i andre uttrykk? Vi ser nærmere på innholdet i rapporten The State of Artistic Freedom 2020 i samtale med kampanjeleder i Freemuse, Sverre Pedersen. Vi føler på hva som skjer med oss i møte med kunstnere som forfekter meninger som ikke er gjengs. Monica Holmen har sett The Banned Exhibition som ble sensurert da den skulle vises i New York i 2018, men som nettopp ble vist på Galleri Golsa i Oslo.

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra interviews Wade Schaaf, Founder and Artistic Director at Chicago Repertory Ballet. Wade — a Chicago native and graduate of Northern Illinois University — is a veteran ballet dancer who has danced for a number of ballet companies such as the Ohio Ballet, Thodos Dance Chicago, and others. Upon retiring from the stage, Wade went on to establish his very own ballet company, which debuted in 2011 to glowing reviews and has since become a staple of the Chicago arts community. Additionally, Wade is an experienced and passionate Pilates instructor. To Wade, dance is all about the story, and his company has consistently woven top-notch storytelling and unique innovation together on the stage. On the podcast, Wade explains how creating his own dance company was in an effort to achieve this story-driven art that he had always dreamt about, yet he is honest about the learning curve associated with owning your own business. Throughout the conversation, Wade shares more about his dance journey, his successes, his failures, and wisdom around putting in the tough work to achieve your goals, your passions, and true artistic freedom. Moving Quotes: “I thought, for me, starting a company would probably be the best option to have the most artistic freedom to create whatever I wanted to create. That’s when I set my eyes out to start a company." “Yes, there has been a big crossover between art and technology… but at the same time, concert dance is a phenomenal opportunity for people that are oversaturated with imagery all the time and have a very fast-paced life. Going to sit down in a theater and encounter something in real-time that human beings have created is a phenomenal reset button for people." “It’s the simple, beautiful things in life that bring me so much joy." “For dancers, I think Pilates is actually very important work because dancers are very strong in some ways but can be very weak in other ways. Pilates targets the things that dancers really need." Bullet Points (w/ timestamps) - Highlighting key topics discussed: 2:56: Wade discusses his role at the Chicago Repertory Ballet and shares the story of its founding. 5:18: Wade describes how his company’s ballet style — a story-driven collision between ballet and contemporary dance — is different from other more traditional ballet styles. 7:29: Schaaf explains how he found himself in his first-ever dance class at the age of 15. 8:29: Schaaf shares about his experience being an entrepreneur and retells a challenge that he’s experienced thus far while owning his own business. 12:23: Wade explains how he attained funding in the early days of his business and discusses his company’s overarching vision. 15:44: Schaaf discusses dance’s role in today’s world and explains how consuming the arts is life’s greatest “reset button.” 17:31: Schaaf gives some advice for young people that may be looking to explore a dance career or a career in a dance-related field. 19:49: Wade — who is also a Pilates instructor — describes the benefits that Pilates can have for both dancers and non-dancers. 21:18: Wade speaks to the pride he has in one of his company’s greatest achievements. 22:29: Wade shares one funny story and one failure from his time leading a dance company.

Part 5 | Valtonyc | Flight from Spain | Music as a Weapon Valtonyc had to flee Spain because of his music. In Belgium he finds exil. Spanish Rapper Valtonyc in the Podcast series "Music as Weapon". He flees in 2018 when he hears that he will be taken to an anti-terrorism prison. He says: “I had to go 500 kilometers from home and was not allowed to have contact with anyone. I thought that I would suffer not only in prison, but especially under the anti-terrorism regime. And that for a few Rap songs, which I made.” His lyrics are cynical, with a wink. Valtonyc is convicted of insulting the Spanish Royal Family, seemingly praising terrorism and death threats in his Raps. He decides to leave and goes to Belgium in order to get his case under international attention. To be able to get a judgment from the European Court of Human Rights. He sees no possibilities in Spain. In Belgium, he hopes for independent justice, which is not guided by political ideology. 'Belgium has a good reputation when it comes to case law.', Valtonyc says. For him it was also important that the politician Puigdemont, just like Valtonyc also a Catalan, had sought his asylum in Belgium. Puigdemonts’ lawyer Master Bekaert is also the lawyer of Valtonyc. In the elections in Spain on Sunday 28 April 2019 Vox won more than 10% of the votes. Vox is one of the right-wing parties in Spanish politics and is an opponent of the Catalan independence movement. It won't matter to Valtonyc. He remains in exil in Belgium. In March 2018, Amnesty International says that a Spanish law "prohibiting the glorification of terrorism" has created a hair-raising environment in which people are afraid to express alternative views or make controversial jokes. In the Freemuse report The State of Artistic Freedom 2019, Spain is in the top ten of the world of captive musicians. There are 14 others besides Valtonyc. https://freemuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/saf-2019-online.pdf May 23, 2018 | In a tweet Valtonyc writes: Josep V.

Linda Briceño’s career as a trumpeter, vocalist, and producer has allowed her to rub shoulders with the likes of Wynton Marsalis and Arturo Sandoval. It also earned her a Latin Grammy. But all of that success took more practice and hard work; it demanded Linda break with people who’d been instrumental in her professional growth, and to stand firm in her vision for herself as an artist.  Love the show?

A conversation about the 20th anniversary tour, the craft beer scene in Sweden, the possibilities of a Watain craft beer, their show being cancelled in Singapore, how metal should always be kept dangerous & if he thinks he has ever gone too far on stage. This episode was recorded on site at the Heavy Montreal 2019 festival in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Throughout the episode we drank Brasseur de Montreal's L'Amer IPA, which was graciously given to me to share with my guests by Marie-Mado Langlois from Brasseur de Montreal.

There was a time in which genuine power was felt erupting from the sonic landscape that is now referred to as “old school” death metal. As with most newly developed forms of art, at its genesis it was filled with a fresh and vibrant energy and was virtually unsaturated by musicians. It was the mighty [...] The post POSSESSED’s Leader JEFF BECERRA Talks New Album ‘Revelations of Oblivion’: “Death Metal is About Doing Whatever the F*ck You Want and Having Artistic Freedom” appeared first on Sonic Perspectives.

Deel 5. Valtonyc Vlucht uit Spanje | MuziekalsWapen Valtonyc moest uit Spanje vluchten vanwege zijn muziek. Valtonyc vertelt me dit in de Podcast serie ’Muziek als Wapen’. In het Freemuse rapport The State of Artistic Freedom 2019 staat Spanje in de toptien van de wereld van musici in gevangenschap. Er zijn nog 14 anderen naast Valtonyc. https://freemuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/saf-2019-online.pdf Valtonyc vlucht in 2018 als hij hoort dat hij naar een antiterrorisme gevangenis afgevoerd zal worden. Hij zegt: “Ik moest 500 kilometer van huis en mocht met niemand contact hebben. Ik bedacht me, dat ik niet alleen in de gevangenis zou lijden, maar vooral onder het antiterrorisme regime. En dat voor een paar Rap liedjes, die ik maakte.” Zijn teksten zijn cynisch, met een knipoog. Valtonyc wordt veroordeeld vanwege belediging van het Spaanse Koningshuis, schijnbaar ophemelen van terrorisme en doodsbedreigingen in zijn Raps. Hij besluit te vertrekken en gaat naar België om zo zijn zaak internationaal onder de aandacht te krijgen. Om een oordeel van het Europese Hof voor de Mensenrechten te kunnen krijgen. In Spanje ziet hij geen mogelijkheden. In België hoopt hij op onafhankelijke rechtspraak, die niet gestuurd wordt door politieke ideologie. België heeft een goede naam wat betreft de rechtspraak, zo zegt Valtonyc. Voor hem speelde ook mee, dat de politicus Puigdemont, net als Valtonyc ook een Catalaan, in België zijn asiel gezocht had. Zijn advocaat Meester Bekaert is ook de advocaat van Valtonyc. Vox een van de rechtse partijen in de Spaanse politiek wint veel stemmen, juist vanwege dit Catalaanse conflict. Vox is grote tegenstander van de Catalaanse onafhankelijkheidsbeweging. Zondag 28 april 2019 waren de verkiezingen in Spanje. Vox won meer dan 10% van de stemmen. Voor Valtonyc zal het niet uitmaken. Hij blijft in België in exil. In maart 2018 zegt Amnesty International dat een Spaanse wet die "verheerlijking van het terrorisme verbiedt" een huiveringwekkende omgeving heeft gecreëerd waarin mensen bang zijn om alternatieve opvattingen te uiten of controversiële grappen te maken.

In this week's ball-red-pilling episode, Magnus takes a look back at a couple of Matrix comics. Strange although it seems today, there was a time when being seen in public reading Matrix comics was pretty much the epitome of coolness. Today... well, less so. But that doesn't stop your humble host from plunging into some Matrix comics anyway! The result? Not bad! Two, count 'em TWO, mind-bending tales to astound and befuddle! These are time capsules from the time before, when popular opinion concerning The Matrix was at an all-time high. These two comics demonstrate why The Matrix was so well-regarded. And yet, there's so much more to say than just that! So what are you waiting for? Start listening now or Trinity will come to your house and shoot twin uzis at you or something. Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But Magnus has slowly been getting caught up lately. There's been some feedback recently so don't be left out! You too can offer your feeble effort at tribute whenever you want! Yes indeed, you humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is trentusmagnus@gmail.com as the other seems to be having technical problems. In an another sublime act of truly ball-shriveling magnanimity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, requests may be sent to trentusmagnus@gmail.com for the aforementioned corrupt DiManzocorp interns (who probably lack souls) to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!
