Bristen på existentiell symmetri, den västerländska civilisationens akilleshäl Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.”Hur ska jag rädda mitt liv? frågade poeten. Genom att vara en dåre, svarade Gud.” – Länge stod detta fylleklotter att läsa med stora svarta bokstäver på en brandvägg i staden där jag växte upp. Länge tänkte jag också att det måste bära på någon form av högre sanning. Det tror jag inte längre. Det vill säga, idén är förstås lockande att i en galen värld måste dåren vara den ende som är klok. Men för det första: Gud står av allt att döma på ordningens sida, och skulle aldrig ge ett sådant svar. För det andra: OM Han ändå gjorde det, borde man just därför akta sig väldigt noga för att följa det. Och för det tredje: det är väl knappast sitt liv poeten tänker sig vilja rädda, utan sin konst. Det är faktiskt inte samma sak. Men det hindrar onekligen inte att världen fortfarande är galen.Problemet är att dåren fortfarande heller inte är klok. På senmedeltidens målningar ser vi dårarna gå ombord på narrskeppet till ”Narragonien”, landet där galenskapen regerar. Man får tänka sig att sådana resor utövade en viss hemlig dragningskraft på folk; i stora delar av den kristna världen var det vid den här tiden en utbredd tradition att inför perioder av allmän återhållsamhet och botgöring tillåta korta utbrott av lössläppthet och otyglat vansinne. Under karnevalsfesterna, precis före fasteveckorna, ställdes samhällets strikta hierarkier på huvudet för en dag. Narren blev kung, korgossarna bytte plats med kyrkans högsta dignitärer. Både Bosch och Brueghel skildrar i stora, myllrande målningar vad som kallas ”striden mellan karneval och fasta”, ett slags allegoriska visioner av den kamp som försiggår i varje samhälle och inom varje själ, mellan kaos och ordning, frihet och försakelse. Hela det medeltida kyrkoåret var i själva verket perforerat av dessa otuktiga festligheter där världen och dess ordning vändes upp och ner.Men alltså enbart för en dag. Morgonen efter återställdes den gudomliga ordningen, med alla dess påbud och förbud. Bara tanken att den på allvar skulle kunna rubbas utgjorde galenskapens själva definition. Festligheterna fyllde med andra ord en funktion som ventiler för oro och missnöje i det obevekliga sociala maskineriet; ett folk som just fått släppa sig löst i frosseri och leka kungar är i sitt bakrus inte så benäget att göra uppror. Samtidigt går det inte att komma ifrån att leken i det långa loppet sådde frön av allvar, att missnöjesventilerna också blev till fönster mot en annan, bättre värld. Narren som lät fursten höra sanningen behövde visserligen inte riskera huvudet: han var bara en dåre. Men den förbjudna, tysta misstanken att denna sanning var den verkliga, att dåren faktiskt hade rätt, lär ha varit långt mer utbredd än vad historien kan dokumentera.Medeltidens dåre stod på så vis både utanför samhället och mitt i det. Som hemlig uppviglare – men för den dygdige borgaren också som ett ansikte att lätt förfärat spegla sig i, en figur vars bild kunde hållas upp som varning för att överskrida de sociala konventionerna, vända sig bort från Gud och samhälle. Michel Foucault ser i Vansinnets historia just denna senmedeltid som den period i Europa när galenskapen för sista gången intog en naturlig plats i det offentliga rummet – det vill säga innan den avskildes från det omgivande samhället, institutionaliserades och låstes in. I den moderna, rationella kultur som växte fram med renässansen och reformationen fanns inte längre någon plats för den sortens avvikelser. Ingen förståelse för hur det mörka kunde vara en förutsättning för det ljusa, hur det förvrängda och kaotiska balanserade och speglade normalitetens ordning.Jag tänker mig att denna brist på vad vi skulle kunna kalla existentiell symmetri fortfarande är något av den västerländska civilisationens akilleshäl. Rädslan för att förlora förståndet, och dess tvillingskräck, rädslan för döden var säkerligen inte mindre bland människorna i den brutala senmedeltidens värld. Men de tvingades möta dem dagligen. Den moderna människan håller istället både vansinnet och döden på armlängds avstånd; det är bekvämt och praktiskt, men när vi sedan behöver konfrontera dem – och det gör vi, förr eller senare – kastas vi ut i okänd terräng. Det kan vara plågsamt, men också på något märkligt sätt befriande. Under min mors demens, månaderna innan hon dog, fick jag nästan varje gång jag kom och hälsade på uppleva hur hon misstog mig för någon annan, olika personer från ena gången till den andra, ofta till och med från stund till stund. Jag kunde vara min far, min morbror, kanske en granne eller någon sedan länge död bekant. Det var otäckt i början, men efter en tid vande jag mig. Slutade med mina rättelser och förklaringar, insåg att det nog bara var jag som behövde dem. Om jag nu ens gjorde det? Det fanns till slut något vilsamt i den där förvirringen. Att få låta allting bara vara.Men det var också som om här fanns en hemlig dörr jag inte sett förut. I den moderna kulturen hanterar vi tillvarons mörka sidor enligt ett ideal vi ärvt från antikens stoiker: genom att förhålla oss oberörda. ”Hur barnslig och outvecklad är inte den som förundrar sig över något som sker här i världen!” skriver Marcus Aurelius i sina Självbetraktelser. Kanske det – men borde vi då inte hellre låta oss förbli barnsliga och outvecklade? Senmedeltidens lösa dårar och förryckta var en sorts gränsgestalter: enligt en utbredd folklig föreställning föddes de inte som andra ur en kvinnas livmoder, utan kläcktes ur ägg, fullt färdiga och fulländade i sin dårskap. Dårarna satt på nycklarna till en alternativ verklighet, där allting kunde vara precis tvärtom. Vem vet förresten: det kanske inte bara kunde. Utan faktiskt var det. För medeltidens människor, till vardags fjättrade av både andliga och furstliga övermakter, var det en ovärderlig, outsäglig möjlighet.I vår värld finns som sagt inte längre plats för den sortens figurer. Precis som vi låst in och medicinerat dårarna har vi låst in – och medicinerat bort – alla föreställningar om en ”förryckt”, vill säga annorlunda värld. Vi utgår från att samhällsförändringar måste ske i vad vi antar vara förnuftiga former: inom ramarna för den parlamentariska demokratin, inom ramarna för marknadsekonomin och den regelbaserade världsordningen. Men om all förändring måste ske inom ramarna för den rådande ordningen, hur kan då själva ordningen någonsin förändras? Om det nu – som vi alltmer börjar misstänka – är denna ordning som är galen? Vem har vi nu, som manar fram den andra, osynliga världen?Jo, förstås: vi har våra poeter. Våra konstnärer – kläckta ur dårskapens ägg, skilda från verklighetens folk av institutionernas murar. Tipset som poeten fick av Gud var kanske inte så dumt, trots allt. Ordningen måste bestå. Men det finns en utväg.Dan Jönssonförfattare och essäist

Carles Francino abre La Ventana del Arte con Miquel del Pozo para hablar de “Estaciones” de Pieter Brueghel

En pleno agosto, de noche, en 2001, desaparecieron 19 cuadros de grandes maestros del arte (Goya, Sorolla, Brueghel...) de la casa de la inversora Esther Koplowitz en Madrid. Sigue considerándose a día de hoy el robo del siglo en España, ya que el precio del botín ascendía a unos 300 millones de euros. ¿Cómo consiguieron los ladrones entrar en una casa que, sin duda, tenía una vigilancia extrema? Nos lo cuenta, como siempre, Enrique Figueredo.

Nous sommes entre 1515 et 1547, sous le règne de François Ier, roi de France. La légende raconte que celui que l'on surnomme Grand-nez a pris goût à la promenade, déguisé en homme du peuple. Or voilà qu'il s'égare dans la forêt. La nuit commence à tomber… Heureusement, le roi aperçoit la loge d'un sabotier. Sans hésiter, il va quérir l'hospitalité. Le sabotier lui répond que, bien que n'étant pas riche, il le recevra de son mieux. - Vous ne mangerez pas votre pain tout sec, lui dit-il, ce matin j'ai tué un lièvre et vous en aurez votre part. - vous savez, lui rétorque le souverain, que la chasse est sévèrement défendue. - Oui, lui répond son hôte, mais je pense que vous ne me vendrez pas au roi Grand-nez… Quelques temps après François appelle le sabotier à la cour et, pour le récompenser de l'avoir reçu de son mieux, en fait l'un de ses premiers sujets. Un peu plus de quatre siècles plus tard, en 1894, dans son ouvrage intitulé « Légendes et curiosités des métiers, », paru chez Flammarion, Paul Sébillot, l'un des chercheurs le plus prolifiques de son temps, écrit : « Entre eux, les sabotiers se traitent de cousins. C'est au reste une population à part qui naît, vit et meurt dans les bois ; elle forme à sa manière une sorte d'aristocratie. Pour être vrai sabotier, il faut être fils de père et de mère, de grands-pères et de grands-mères sabotiers, autrement, on n'est que sabotier bâtard ». Au XIXe siècle, et jusque dans les années 1950, la saboterie constitue un des métiers les plus pratiqués dans le sud de l'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse. On produit les chaussures de bois par centaines de milliers et on les exporte dans toute la Belgique ainsi que dans les pays limitrophes. Les sabots ont chaussé les pieds de nos aïeux, paysans, ouvriers et marins, pendant des siècles et ont inspiré poètes, conteurs, chanteurs et peintres tels Brueghel, Millet et Van Gogh… Ils témoignent de labeurs et de combats émancipateurs.

« Sur terre et sur mer, au large ou au près » Navigation poétique de Jacques Darras avec la complicité de Jacques Bonnaffé. Nous les Jacques faisons des bilans réguliers depuis un mémorable duo au Théâtre de la Bastille à Paris au printemps 2004. Vingt ans plus tard, il était temps de se poser à nouveau. À force d'avoir suivi le cours de la Maye sur la longueur de huit livres depuis 1988, moi Jacques Darras je suis en effet parvenu sur les plages du littoral, que je ne quitte plus avant l'embarquement définitif. Aucune nostalgie de ma part. Plutôt la recherche constante d'un équilibre entre action et méditation. Oserai-je parler d'une sagesse ? Ce soir l'autre Jacques et moi-même nous répondrons donc l'un l'autre. Lui incarnera mon côté terre avec son sens de la danse, du mouvement, de la frappe du pied contre le sol comme un danseur de Brueghel, moi j'épouserai, en contrepoint, la force douce de la vague, l'ondulation répétitive du temps, le regard sur l'infini. À lire – Jacques Darras, L'Indiscipline de l'eau, Poésie/Gallimard, 2016 – Je m'approche de la fin, NRF/Gallimard, à paraître

Today's poem from Williams' late collection, Pictures from Brueghel, is an ekphrasis on the painting by the same name, and a lesson in disciplined observation. Happy reading. Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Send us a Text Message."About suffering they were never wrong, / the old Masters: how well they understood / Its human position..." wrote W.H. Auden. For all that suffering seems to be central to our practice, how do we in pediatric palliative care actually stack up against Brueghel et al when it comes to understanding it, though? Dan and Sarah dig deep with guests Erica Salter, PhD, and Lauren Draper, MD to explore what suffering really means for children, families, and the clinicians who care for them.

Esta semana, los culturetas tratan el caso de Stéphane Breitwieser, un ciudadano francés que robó 200 obras de arte en los años 90. Breitwieser protagoniza el ensayo 'El ladrón de arte' del periodista Michael Finkel, que publica la editorial Taurus en España. Breitwieser nunca intentó vender las obras robadas,valoradas en más de 1.000 millones de dólares. Las guardaba en su buhardilla para admirarlas en soledad. En la sección de 'Pantallas', los culturetas cuentan qué han visto estas semanas, desde "Reina Roja" hasta la nueva serie de Kate Winslet.

La Belgique est réputée être le pays qui compte le plus de collectionneurs d'art par habitant au monde. Et notre histoire est riche de célèbres peintres comme Brueghel l'Ancien, Rubens, van Eyck et Ensor, qui ont fait la renommée de la Flandre pendant 250 ans. Mais savons-nous tirer profit de ces atouts? La BRAFA, la Brussels Art Fair, se tient du 28 janvier au 4 février à Brussels Expo. C'est un temps fort pour les amateurs d'art. On y trouve des milliers de créations: du mobilier du Moyen Âge aux peintures anciennes et modernes, en passant par la porcelaine, les gravures et l'orfèvrerie. Quels sont les défis de la Belgique sur le marché de l'art? Encourage-t-elle ce secteur qui pesait près de 70 milliards de dollars dans le monde en 2022? C'est ce que nous allons voir avec Johan-Frédérik Hel Guedj, journaliste au service « culture » de L'Echo et Didier Claes, vice-président de la BRAFA. Présentation: Guillaume Cordeaux.

Terwijl de boeren in Boer zoekt Vrouw deze week genoten van kleine contactmomentjes, had een van ons een groots contactmoment achter de schermen met een talkshowgast. Het brengt ons op een modern dilemma: kun je als mediameid in deze tijden eigenlijk zomaar bedankjes aannemen van gasten? Op het Televizier-Ring Gala regende het ondertussen warme contactmomentjes. We bespreken de populairste begroetmethodes uit het vak zoals de ouderwetse tv-kussen en de Hilversumse hug. En over contact maken gesproken: Fenna van Zapp bleek een ster in het groeten van ouders. William Rutten trok ons voor zijn camera en bewees dat door zijn lens zelfs een seatfiller van seatfiler in een ster kan veranderen.

De vlam die in de pan sloeg is voelbaar over de hele wereld, dus ook op onze burelen. Gelukkig was er een interessante tournure in het gaslightdebat en we brengen een hoognodige update met de geur van wijwater over de christenslis. Ondertussen vragen we ons af: is een hekel aan de ander niet gewoon een hekel aan jezelf? Gijs twijfelt aan zijn mantelzorgkwaliteiten en er is een hoop aan het schuiven in Teuns mond. Hanneke haalt herinneringen op aan haar tijd op een kibboets, waar ze als een blok viel voor een tandarts op een traktor. Gijs eert John en Sean.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Floris Alebeek, conservator bij het Noordbrabants Museum. Het Noordbrabants Museum brengt deze maanden de tentoonstelling 'Brueghel: de familiereünie'. Deze tentoonstelling herijkt een van de beroemdste families uit de kunstgeschiedenis door de verbanden tussen de verschillende generaties nader te bekijken en voor het eerst aandacht te besteden aan de Brueghelvrouwen. Ondernemend, innovatief en wereldberoemd, de familie Brueghel speelde een centrale rol in de Europese kunst van ca. 1550 tot ca. 1700. Vijf generaties Brueghels maakten schilderijen die worden bewonderd om hun geestige en onderhoudende composities, universele boodschappen en uitzonderlijk vakmanschap. De onderwerpen variëren van feestelijke bruiloften, bekende spreuken en verhalen uit de Bijbel tot ontzagwekkende landschappen en studies van dieren, insecten en bloemen.

Angela de Jong gaf de tv-makers van Nederland weer eens een ouderwetse veeg uit de pan. Een column die in Hilversum insloeg als een bom. Maar die commotie was niets vergeleken bij de schok die de aankondiging van de bekendste schrijvende familie van Nederland veroorzaakte. Terwijl BN'ers zich klaarmaken voor dierendag 2023, buigen wij ons over een paar lastige vragen. Gebruiken boswachters zeep? Is Patty Brard een feminist? En wat is nou een typisch RTL-koekje? Ten slotte debatteren we over de vraag of het kan dat Willie Wartaal wel een ster is maar geen A-naam.

Release Date: March 01, 2013Johnny goes to pay $25,000 to obtain the return of a stolen painting the company made more than $100,00 for. But did he get the real painting or a forgery.Original Air Date: July 6, 1954Support the show monthly at patreon.greatdetectives.netSupport the show on a one-time basis at http://support.greatdetectives.net.Mail a donation to: Adam Graham, PO Box 15913, Boise, Idaho 83715Take the listener survey…http://survey.greatdetectives.netGive us a call 208-991-4783Follow us on Instagram at http://instagram.com/greatdetectivesBecome one of ourfriends on FacebookFollow us on Twitter@radiodetectivesThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5901852/advertisement

Bloemen, bloemen en nog meer bloemen!Narcisjes, neerhangende roze rozen, een oranje lelie, gevlamde tulpen, felblauwe irissen, … De variatie aan bloemen en de felle kleuren zijn overweldigend en spatten van dit paneeltje. Bloemenvaas met varkensbrood en edelstenen is een meesterwerk van een van de belangrijkste schilders uit de late zestiende en vroege zeventiende eeuw: Jan I Brueghel (1568-1625). In deze Phoebus Focus aflevering ontdek je de inspiratiebronnen, de drijfveren en de werkwijze van de meester die zich met zo veel overgave en precisie richtte op al die bloemenpracht.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2023“CARÁCTER”Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, Estados UnidosUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  10 DE FEBRERO          CON LOS OJOS ABIERTOS «Envía tu luz y tu verdad; estas me guiarán, me conducirán a tu santo monte ya tus moradas.» Sal. 43:3No se puede andar en línea recta con los ojos cerrados. El ser humano necesita la percepción óptica para conducirse adecuadamente. A través de la visión tomamos en cuenta los diferentes referentes que nos hacen seguir de forma correcta una trayectoria. Si cerramos los ojos o estamos en un lugar a oscuras, toman el control de nuestro caminar tanto los músculos como el sistema vestibular (esa parte del oído que controla el equilibrio). Si somos diestros nos escoraremos hacia un lado, y si somos zurdos hacia el otro. Al final, todos terminamos caminando en círculos si no hay luz suficiente.El salmista pide a Dios su luz y su verdad, porque hay luces y verdades que no son de Dios. Están los que viven bajo una linterna y, de tanto en tanto, se quedan a oscuras porque se les acaban las baterías. También están los que prefieren la luz de las antorchas y, cuando menos se lo esperan, terminan quemándose. Y los que viven enganchados a la luz de un teléfono móvil oa la pantalla de un ordenador y son simples periféricos de las redes sociales. Meras luces que nos hacen caminar en círculos.La luz de Dios es diferente, aporta referencias que nos conducen hacia la Verdad. No hacia las pequeñas verdades de nuestros mundos personales, sino hacia la Verdad que da estabilidad y nos aproxima a la presencia divina. Creer no es solo un acto espontáneo, huyendo de artificialidades, sino, además, una actividad enmarcada y enfocada en dicha Verdad. Es por ello que debemos caminar con los ojos abiertos, disfrutando de las millas y millas de lúmenes de la luz de Dios. Observando los detalles, los matices, los contrastes y comprendiendo que debemos avanzar de forma distinta a la que se nos antoja.Hay un cuadro de Brueghel «el Viejo» que se titula «la parábola de los ciegos» y donde se retrata a ciegos que siguen a un ciego. La guia cae en un hoyo y el siguiente le cae encima. Y pienso que, en ocasiones, somos un poco como ese cuadro de Brueghel. Sin luz y apenas superando el suelo del materialismo. ¡Qué pena!No te conforma con las minucias de una linterna, ni con el fulgor de una antorcha, ni mucho menos con una pantalla (aunque sea Retina), porque tienes la posibilidad de recibir mucho más y gratis. Que tu oración, hoy, sea como la del salmista: «Envíame, Señor, tu luz y tu verdad. Ya no quiero caminar en círculos, llévame hacia tu presencia.»

Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Country Wedding, 16th–17th century, oil on wood, Art Gallery of Ontario; Gift of Mr. and Mrs. W. Redelmeier, 1940, 2557. This is an oil on wood painting, titled Country Wedding by artist Pieter Brueghel the Younger. It is from the 1500s or 1600s, and was a gift to the Art Gallery of Ontario by Mr. and Mrs. W. Redelmeier in 1940. The scene is set in Europe during the 1500s or 1600s and features a country wedding within a wooded glade. About fifty people are shown celebrating in the rustic setting. The people are dancing, eating, drinking, playing musical instruments, and embracing each other. Most of the people are wearing clothes associated with working-class labourers of the time period, in earth-coloured tones, such as browns, greens, and grays. Some figures wear garments that stand out in the rustic, forest setting: contrasting fabrics of sharp, bright reds, whites, and piercing yellows. Trees, bushes, and hut-like structures are shown in the background. In the bottom-left foreground of the painting, a male figure dances alone. Wearing a red hat, red pants, and a white coat, his face and body are visible to us. This male figure is looking to his left, over at a group of other people dancing adjacent to him in the bottom right of the painting. Within that group, another male figure appears prominently, dancing in front of a woman. The man is in a strutting posture, wearing bright yellow and white clothes. The woman is depicted with her back to the viewer, her face out of view. She stands with her hands on her hips and faces the strutting man. In the centre of the painting, groups of figures behind the dancers are partaking in other activities, like sitting, talking, drinking, and eating. All around the painting, the atmosphere is celebratory, with various scenes of revelry and merriment that boast a melodious quality. Located in the Dance to the Music section, the painting captures the seemingly timeless and universal impulse to move our bodies.

In s2ep16, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig talk about the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter Reformation that affected so much of the 16th century in Western Europe. The focus of the episode is Pieter Brueghel the Elder who developed a new vocabulary to talk about the lives of peasants, as well as lessons to live by. And don't forget those sins and sinners.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!On September 17, 1883, William Carlos Williams was born in Rutherford, New Jersey. He began writing poetry while a student at Horace Mann High School, at which time he made the decision to become both a writer and a doctor. He received his MD from the University of Pennsylvania, where he met and befriended Ezra Pound. Pound became a great influence on his writing, and in 1913 arranged for the London publication of Williams's second collection, The Tempers. Returning to Rutherford, where he sustained his medical practice throughout his life, Williams began publishing in small magazines and embarked on a prolific career as a poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright.Following Pound, he was one of the principal poets of the Imagist movement, though as time went on, he began to increasingly disagree with the values put forth in the work of Pound and especially Eliot, who he felt were too attached to European culture and traditions. Continuing to experiment with new techniques of meter and lineation, Williams sought to invent an entirely fresh—and singularly American—poetic, whose subject matter was centered on the everyday circumstances of life and the lives of common people.His influence as a poet spread slowly during the 1920s and 1930s, overshadowed, he felt, by the immense popularity of Eliot's "The Waste Land"; however, his work received increasing attention in the 1950s and 1960s as younger poets, including Allen Ginsbergand the Beats, were impressed by the accessibility of his language and his openness as a mentor. His major works include Kora in Hell (1920); Spring and All (1923); Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962), which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; the five-volume epic Paterson (1963, 1992); and Imaginations (1970). Williams's health began to decline after a heart attack in 1948 and a series of strokes, but he continued writing up until his death in New Jersey on March 4, 1963.From https://poets.org/poet/william-carlos-williams. For more information about William Carlos Williams:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Suketu Mehta about Williams, at 20:10: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-079-suketu-mehtaLynell George about Williams, at 10:50: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-021-lynell-george“William Carlos Williams”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/william-carlos-williams“Paterson”: https://www.ndbooks.com/book/paterson/

Episode NotesBarn on the farm of R. Murray Schafer and Eleanor James, Indian River, Ontario, January 19, 2022 (photo by me)Note: the text below is a transcription of the narration in the episode (sounds are described, with their source where possible)Welcome to episode 99 of the conscient podcast, the last episode of season 3, which you might recall was on the theme of radical listening. (fade in of sound of barn)I invite you to guess what is this space. There are some sonic clues. It's clearly an indoor space and yet there is a hollowing wind with a deep, rich texture... You can hear the gentle crackling of wood… the occasional slap of a rope… a squirrel. (fade out sound of barn)This soundscape was recorded on January 19th, 2022, in a barn, on a farm that belonged to composer R. Murray Schafer and is now the home of his wife, the singer Eleanor James. The farm is located near Indian River, Ontario, about 20k east of Peterborough which is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe Mississauga people adjacent to Haudenosaunee Territory and in the territory covered by the Williams Treaty. I went to the farm to record winter soundscapes for this episode, Winter Diary Revisited, which is a soundscape composition dedicated to the memory of composer, writer, music educator, and environmentalist, R. Murray Schafer.1st floor of barn of R. Murray Schafer and Elanor James, near Indian River, ON, January 19, 2022Eleanor James, January 19, 2022, Indian River, Ontario (photo by me)While visiting the farm, I had a conversation with Eleanor James about Murray and his relationship to winter. Here is an excerpt:Claude: I'm with Eleanor James and I just spent some time in your barn. Thank you so much. I recorded a bunch of sounds, and I went into the forest and captured sounds of wind and some of the things that Murray and I did when we did the Winter Diary, which is to do this kind of yelling out, to enliven the space and get a feeling of it. (sound of snowshoeing and distant 'Hey' at the farm on January 19, 2022)Claude: There are so many things that you could talk about Murray. Any thoughts about soundscapes but also around recording and winter sounds? Eleanor: There's a couple of things come to mind, which are in his creative output and one of them is Music in the Cold. It's a lovely little manifesto done in an artistic style about how it's better to be in the North than in the South and that music in the cold is tougher and hardier and more austere and (laughs) so he goes into a diatribe about that kind of thing. He really is a Northern personality. So, you have to forgive him for going on a rant about it, but, of course, it was an artistic creation, so it was intended to be hyperbolic. I think it's quite delightful. It's got a midnight blue cover and then the title Music in the Cold.Speaking of which, he has written a wonderful string quartet called Winter Birds which the Molinari quartet of Montreal have recorded, in which his own voice occurs in the very last movement where he describes the winter of 2005 looking out his studio window at the birds feeding. We used to fill the feeders with seeds, and we'd have all kinds of little birds coming and fluttering and going and making little soft sounds. In the string quartet, he describes a whole event of birds, just fluttering and coming and going and the total silence surrounding them, not only acoustically, but visually as well. Nothing but the snow, just like it is today, with snow heaped everywhere and just these little birds making tiny fluttering sounds with their wings.There's also the piece that he wrote for choir called Snowforms which is actually quite popular, and he wrote it as a graphic score and it's written on a sort of pale turquoise green paper, and the choir reads the shapes of snow and again, those shapes were something that he observed looking out his studio window and drew graphically and then composed it so that pitches were associated with these tones. It's just a marvelous description of winter and so for Murray, all of the soundscape work that he was so interested in fed into his artistic abilities and his artistic gifts as a composer.Note: See String Quartet no. 10 - Winter Birds (extrait) / R. Murray Schafer for an excerpt of Winter Birds performed by the Molinari Quartet. See Snowforms for a performance of Snowforms by the Vancouver Chamber Choir.I re-read Murray's Music in the Cold book when I got back home to Ottawa, which he wrote in 1977, when I was 17. It's interesting to look back at this piece of artistic reflection and provocation. Here are the last 11 lines of the book: Saplings are beginning to sprout again in the moist earth.Beneath it animals can be heard digging their burrows.Soon the thrush will return.The old technology of waste is gone.What then remains?The old virtues: harmony; the universal soul; hard work.I will live supersensitized, the antennae of a new race.I will create a new mythology.It will take time.It will take time.There will be time. (fade in recording of Eclogue for an Alpine Meadow)I remember back in August of 1985, the late composer Robert Rosen, Murray and I produced a series of ecological radio programs to be performed at Spry Lake, near Canmore, Alberta. Murray was in Banff to present his music theatre piece Princess of the Stars. We each wrote a piece of music for this space.  Mine was for bass clarinet and trombone called ‘Eclogue for an Alpine Meadow' . You can hear me on bass clarinet. Murray was a mentor to Robert and myself on this project, sharing his vast experience in writing music for and with a natural environment. Note: You can hear the entire piece on the Whom Am I page of the conscient podcast website. Robert Rosen, R.

Among other things, Murray taught me how to listen deeply, both with my ears and with a microphone.Me, Kozo Hiramatsu and R. Murray Schafer at Hör Upp! Stockholm acoustic ecology conference, Stockholm, Sweden 1998 (photo credit unknown)I remember having long conversations with Murray about listening, radio, acoustic ecology, field recording, technology, including how it make a living as a composer. Here is a short excerpt from a conversation I had with him in July of 1990 in a restaurant in Peterborough. I apologise for the poor quality of the recording, but I think you'll enjoy listening to Murray speak about the art of listening:You probe by asking further questions. Was it inside? Was it outside? Are there a lot of people assembled there? Is there nobody there? Is this in Canada? Is it outside of Canada? Is it in Europe? You heard a train. Is it Canadian train whistle or a European train whistle? You heard a language. What language was it you heard? Any of these cues that you might have heard that would help you identify where you were and then tell them afterwards where the actual recording was made but force them to really use their ears. Did you hear any birds? Did you hear any of this, did you hear any sounds that would help you to localize? I'm just saying that that's one sort of type of exercise, which I think someday somebody should put together a package, an educational package.I just feel that one has to constantly go back to nature and listen again, look again, learn again. It's as simple as that. Anytime you get too far in touch with it, you're probably going to be in trouble. If you don't know how to come, go back and look at a butterfly, because you're so spell bound by strobe lights or something, I think you're in trouble, which is not to say that you can't go back and look at it and reanalyze it. It will change things and then you go back to your old environment and see things differently. In nature, what you're so conscious of is a cycle of life and death, and rather the interchange, that almost sine wave of life and death, but also of silence and activity and that there are certain times when certain creatures are far and certain other times when they speak and that you take in the natural soundscape. Sometimes it's hard to find those rhythms in a modern urban soundscape where everybody sounds so aggressively trying to catch the attention of everyone else.Claude: they lose touch with the balance of their lives.Murray passed away on August 14, 2021, at age 88 in his farmhouse.Home of R. Murray Schafer and Eleanor James, Indian River, Ontario, January 19, 2022Studio of R. Murray Schafer, Indian River, Ontario, January 19, 2022Shortly after his passing, I was honoured to be asked to write a remembrance piece about my personal experience with Murray. This request came from Eric Leonardson, president of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) an organization that Murray helped found in 1993 at the Banff Centre and that continues its good work to this day. Kirk MacKenzie and Robin Elliott of the University of Toronto also approached me to write a remembrance piece about Murray for a series of memorials they are producing about Murray and his legacy. I decided to produce a soundscape composition instead of writing an article for this remembrance piece. Here's the story.In 1996, Murray received a commission from the Akustische Kunst department of the West German Radio, the WDR, in Germany, produced by Klaus Schöning, to record a radio program about the winter soundscapes of rural Manitoba called Winter Diary. Murray had produced many radio pieces before for the CBC and the WDR, but he needed a hand with this rather large-scale production, so he hired me as a recordist, editor and mixer, but also as a driver and scout. I was 37 at the time and was about to be married to filmmaker Sabrina Mathews and start a family in Montreal, which we did.  However back then I still had the time and energy to do a 10-day road trip and to spend weeks afterwards editing it together with Murray. We certainly had a lot of fun together on that trip(sequence of Claude and Murray laughing during the recording of ‘Winter Diary' in 1997)Me in my home studio in Montreal in the 1990's (photo credit unknown)Letter from R. Murray Schafer to me, September 27, 1998Winter Diary ended up winning the Karl-Sczuka-Prize for radio art in 1998. I was deeply moved by the jury's statement, which I think captures the spirit of Murray's composition and the essence of our collaboration in its production:It is with great autonomy and imperturbability that Schafer draws the sound spectrum of a Canadian winter into his acoustic image. From the calm sequence of concise sound events an acoustic landscape emerges, almost spatial in its presence. To the point of noiselessness, of silence, everything audible is there concretely and non-arbitrarily. It is a work which ushers its listeners to a place of unhurried, patient listening, insists upon the wealth of nuances in acoustic perception, and takes a stand against sound refuse and staged hyperactivity.Scan of the first paragraph of Schafer's Winter Diary (not Dairy :-)) essay, February 15, 1997Winter-Diary-Essay-by-R.-Murray-SchaferDownloadWhile I was doing research for this piece, I found the first draft of an unpublished, 13-page essay in my archives that Murray wrote, at his farm, on February 15th, 1997, about the creation of Winter Diary. I was so excited. It's a brilliant piece of writing about our adventures in Manitoba, but the essay also includes reflections on a number of other issues: listening, art history, philosophy, his dreams, literature, and use the microphone. I decided to create a composition around his essay. A sonic illustration and interpretation of his words. But first let me tell a bit of a story about microphones. Murray had a love – hate relationship with the microphone. Here is another excerpt from that July 1990 restaurant conversation where he talks a bit more about distant listening, which is a key element of his aesthetic:If the microphone replaces your ear, there's something wrong. And as you see in a lot of our listening that the microphone has replaced the ear. The mere fact that for instance, we demand presence on all recorded sounds and they're all close mic-ed, is a recognition of the fact that the microphone, which is an instrument for getting closeups, is respected more than our own sort of hearing experience. The fact that we can no longer listen to the distance. Now, if you're going to get involved, really, with ecology in the environment, you have to rediscover how to listen to the distance, because an awful lot of the sounds you're talking about are distant.Claude (in the field from afar, recorded at Adawe Crossing, Ottawa): Now, if you're going to get involved, really, with ecology in the environment, you have to rediscover how to listen to the distance, because an awful lot of the sounds you're talking about are distant.I think you understand what I mean. Adawe Crossing, Rideau River, Ottawa where I recorded the 'distant' passage above, January 2022With the kind permission of Eleanor James, I used excerpts from Murray's essay as the narrative for the soundscape composition that you are about to hear. I did not use any of the field recordings from our original trip in 1997, outside of those few moments of laughter. Instead, I decided to record all new material during the winter of 2022, some 25 years later, not in Manitoba, but rather around where I live in Ontario and Québec, hence the idea of revisiting Winter Diary. However, I did use some field recordings from my archives, as well as a few excerpts from some of my previous soundscape compositions. All of those are noted in the episode script. Most of the soundscapes that you're about to hear are natural but a few have been transformed using tools like GRM Tools and ‘spatialisers'. I was interested in exploring that liminal space between reality and fantasy. While recording these winter soundscapes, and it's been a cold winter so far as you'll hear, I kept thinking about what the Karl Szuckaprize jury said about Murray's interest in the ‘noiselessness of silence'. I also thought about the idea of ushering the listener ‘to a place of unhurried, patient listening'.I tried to explore the idea of patient, unhurried listening in this piece as well as the notion of radical listening.Me on January 17, 2022 recording winter soundscapes in Ottawa (photo by Sabrina Mathews)Before we start, I want to let you know that some recordings are very quiet, at the threshold of what you might be able to hear on speakers or headphones so don't worry if you hear long silences or can't make out some of the detail, especially if you are in a car or in a noisier environment. You can listen to the Winter Diary Revisited again, in high resolution.I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to honour the memory of R. Murray Schafer and hope you enjoy this sonic illustration from his Winter Diary essay.ScriptNote: This script is drawn from R. Murray Schafer's Winter Diary Essay, first draft, February 15, 1997 (sounds are described with their source where possible)(door slapping and footsteps approaching the gate and mailbox at Murray's farm in Indian River)1. gatesGate at Murray and Eleanor's property near Indian River, January 19, 2022 (photo by me)Claude Schryer came by today to plan the Winter Diary radio program for the West German Radio. After dinner we walked the quarter mile out to the road. (walking towards the gate)There was a powdering of light snow, making the landscape bright under the stars. I opened and closed the gate while Claude recorded it; then I went to the tin mailbox and flapped the lid – both are sounds characteristic of rural life in Canada. (mailbox lid and gate)The flapping got the neighbour's dog barking. Then, more distantly other dogs began to bark. Dogs were the original alarm systems in the countryside and remain so despite electronic technology. Could be a thief or a wolf out there. The message is telegraphed from farm to farm and behind every dark doorway a farmer cocks his gun. The dogs grew silent again as we trudged back. (crossfade entry of house towards fire)Entering the warm house with a fire burning brightly in the grate, I suddenly realized that we had already discovered a valuable leitmotif for our program: the contrast between warm, populated rooms(crossfade with quiet cedar forest) and the vast, cold spaces that surround them during the Canadian winter.(wind from Murray's farm, slow fade to silence)Screen door at my cottage, Duhamel, Québec, December 2021 (photo by me)2. doorsThere is a painting by Cornelius Krieghoff (1815-1872) entitled "Merrymaking" that illustrates this drama between interior and exterior. (my wife Sabrina, son Riel and daughter Clara exiting our home and walking into our yard)A party at the Jolifu Inn is breaking up and the revellers are spilling out to depart into the cold, snowy dawn. The drama of the scene is depicted in Brueghel style, but the contrast between hot interior and cold exterior is distinctly Canadian. The same theme recurs in our best novelists, for instance in Frederick Philip Grove's, "Over Prairie Trails" (1922) or in Sinclair Ross's, "As for Me and My House" (1941). The contrast between interior and exterior creates the drama between society and selfhood. Marshall McLuhan summed it up epigrammatically when he said that Canadians go out to be alone and come in to be with company while elsewhere people go out to be with company and come home to be alone. Woman skater (family friend): If you're really lucky to be at a cottage in the winter in the morning and they're almost no sounds and you'll hear a branch cracking or something…(Quiet forest with cracking of frozen trees)The hinge is the door. One sound characteristic of the Canadian countryside is the slap of a screen door. (Various door slappings from Murray's farm and our cottage)I've known it since my childhood. Of course, it is intended to keep the insects out of the house in summer but out of laziness the screen door is often left on during winter too - as mine is. The door has a coil spring attached to it so that it will slap shut quickly. Usually there is another contraption on the side with a hairpin spring to snap it firm. If it isn't oiled, it squeaks. So, the entire sound event is actually quite complex, consisting first of a swish as the door opens, then a swoosh as it closes followed by a residual snap as the second spring is released to hold it shut. (More door sounds)The subject of doors could occupy a doctoral thesis or two. Every continent and climate has its own vocabulary and rhetoric of doors as different as the languages of the people who open and close them.(More door sounds)3. trainsPassing train from simplesoundscapes e73, March 20, 2018, Montréal (photo by me)(processed L14 train whistle with GRM Evolution Tool and Dear VR Pro spatializer)Every Canadian knows the three-toned Canadian train whistle - without knowing it. Tuned to an E-flat minor triad with a fundamental at 311 Hertz, it's the most authoritative sound mark of the country, curiously analogous to the Yellow Bell or Huang Chung, which established the tuning for all music in the golden days of ancient China.(Meditation bell)The legend goes that when the tuning of the Yellow Bell was abandoned the empire would fall into ruin.(Overpass from simplesoundscapes e167 above + train passing with gate processing)Something like that is happening here, for today more and more train whistles are out of tune, and with the building of overpasses and tunnels urban dwellers rarely ever hear them. (more processed L14 train whistle)Canadian railroads all run east-west. As the authority of the railroad vanishes the east-west axis gives way to a south-north bias, i.e., American invasion. … Eventually in the far distance we hear the L14 whistle (the signal for a level crossing, long, long, short, long,) which incidentally is also the rhythm of the opening phrase of the Canadian national anthem.(noon siren excerpt from my 1996 composition Vancouver Soundscape Revisited)4. hooves'Cricket', Mono, Ontario during recording of ‘hooves' scene. (photo by me)(wind from Murray's farm) It is warmer today then yesterday and a heavy fog lies over the snow so that the acoustic horizon surpasses the visual. Frederick Philip Grove talks about getting lost in the fog in Over Prairie Trails. Then he had to rely on the instinct of his horses.(sound of horse hooves from Cricket in Mono, Ontario)Note: below is a quote from Frederick Philip Grove'sOver Prairie Trails, Toronto, 1991, p.47.‘I had become all ear. Even though my buggy was silent and though the road was coated with a thin film of soft clay-mud. I could distinctly hear by the muffled thud of the horses' hooves on the ground that they were running over a grade.' (Grade and farm sounds and return of hoove sounds)‘That confirmed my bearings… So now I was close to the three-farm cluster. I listened intently again for the horses' thump. Yes, there was that muffled hoof-beat again – I was on the last grade that led to the angling road across the corner of the marsh.‘ 5. microphonesZoom H4N Pro recording wind sounds at R. Murray Schafer farm, January 19, 2022(wind from Murray's field)What would the Prairies be without wind? (Wind from Murray's barn mixed with forest sounds in South River, Ontario)It's the keynote sound here, the one against which everything else is registered. But to record it? Impossible. The microphone hasn't yet been invented to effectively record nature's most elementary sounds: wind, rain, fire.(thunder and rain sound from simplesoundscapes e105 thunder, fire from fireplace at our cottage)The mistake in recording the environment is in trying to pull a huge spread of events, far and near in all directions, into a single focus. The soundscape isn't stereophonic, its spherical. The stereophonic preoccupation in recording results from stereoscopy rather than any real understanding of the listening experience, in which one is always at the centre. (microphone panning ventilation system)One would like the microphone to observe the same respect for figure-ground that our ears do, elevating those sounds we wish to receive and suppressing those we don't.  But of course, the microphone is not an ear, and everything is registered according to its amplitude only. Could we imagine a future microphone with a discrimination circuit to allow us to reproduce the wished-for soundscape rather than the real one? Or is that merely another form of pathetic fallacy that only the romantic recordist could hope for? Claude (from snow pellets on dried leaves in Misikew provincial park): and here's an example of a sound that is so delicate that the microphone picks it up better than the human ear. The value of the microphone is that it presents simply what is there. The tape recorder puts a frame around it, often astonishing us with the sound events our real ears have missed. 6. footstepsFootstep tracks at Warbler's Roost, South River, ON, February, 2022Claude confesses his excitement for recording. He is almost like a fighter pilot seeking out the enemy, the elusive sound object, slating his various dives at the material we've targeted for a take, hoping the desired event will occur on cue, wondering whether to stalk it silently or prompt it - or forget it and seek another campaign. "So many things can go wrong," he says excitedly. Ruefully I agree.Note: I recorded my voice saying "So many things can go wrong,"Claude (xcountry ski sequence, December 2021): When Murray and I recorded Winter Diary in 1997, we record a lot of different winter sounds but not cross-country skiing. It is a typical sound of winter in Canada and a very rich one. You can hear me skiing now, as well as people skiing beside me. Skiing sounds have number of different elements: there's the push and pull of the ski, the poles that hit into the snow and of course the breath of the skier. Sometimes you can hear the wind in the trees, snowmobiles a distance, dogs...People who live by the sea know how the colour of the water changes constantly, but one has to live with a long winter to know the perpetual changes in the sound (as well as the colour) of snow. (various foot and snow sounds)Even the lapse of an hour can alter it profoundly, and the experienced listener can pinpoint the temperature by the sound of his footsteps in it. On the cold nights it screeches. Sometimes a crust will build up to produce a crunchy quality. Or even several crusts, separated by layers of powdery snow, giving variations of dissonance with each step. (Steps on crusty snow)7. carsLumber truck passing on Eagle Road, South River, ONWe always take the most ordinary sounds for granted. Assuming cars to be universal, we forget that they sound different in different environments. (bus stuck on a hill and cars passing in Ottawa)On a country highway we recorded the approach and departure of individual cars and trucks, sometimes lasting three minutes without any other sound. (Passing truck near South River, On)Where else on earth could you do that?8. callingForest where I recorded ‘calling sounds', January 2022, Gatineau Park, QuébecClaude (Gatineau Park, Québec) : When R. Murray Schafer and I did Winter Diary, one of the sequences was called calling where we were in the forest and listening for the reverberation in a winter space and in that case, it was a forest and here I am on January 11th, 2022, in Gatineau Park. I'm going try a similar experience where I'm going to walk in a circle away from the microphone and see what that sounds like and once in a while, I'll cry out like we did back then: Hey, and you can hear the reverberation and the movement, and it's a way to experience a winter soundscape by interacting with it. So here we go.(Hey sequence in forest in Gatineau QC, January 2022)Excursion into Park. Total isolation. We realized that the only way we could give an impression of soundscape here was by making sounds ourselves, so we set up the microphone in the snow and walked away from it, calling in different directions. How far is it across the valley? What is the difference between a bare deciduous forest and a leafy evergreen one? Your voice will tell you. 9. cracksForest where I recorded ‘calling sounds', January 2022, Gatineau Park, Québec(rumble of car on winter road, stop and get out of vehicle, then silence)I came out alone in the car after Claude had gone to sleep. Never had I heard the world so silent. Is it near or far, this black landscape? (forest cracks at Murray farm)My own slightest movement makes it seem near. The frosted crack of a distant tree makes it vast. My breathing brings it close again.  Justin Winkler pointed out that the soundscape is essentially a static term, but here it seems dynamic, increasing to an infinite volume, then shrinking right inside me as my stomach growls. (simplesoundscapes e01, rumble and Guérison from Au dernier vivant les biens (1998))I turn the ignition key and am startled and relieved at the same time. My escape.10. heaterGas fireplace at our home in Ottawa, January 2022(gas fireplace starting + song based on texture of fireplace ‘pings')Strange phenomenon this morning on waking. In my dream I had been singing a solo song at some kind of gathering. I finished and everyone applauded enthusiastically.(Sound of small crowd clapping and saying nice song Murray)I awoke to hear the propane heater come on. So, the conclusion of my song and heater were synchronized but I stress that I had sung a rather lengthy song to its conclusion before the applause of the heater. I even remembered the song and sang it over again to myself while lying in bed.(Gas heater and song)Had I anticipated the end of it and paced the singing to a sound that I could somehow fore-hear? Or had the whole event occurred in the fraction of a second as the heater came on? 11. iceChunk of ice at my home in Ottawa, January 23, 2022Spotting some children knocking down some icicles in Sainte Rose du Lac, we rushed over to record them but frightened them away. (gated kicking ice blocks and skating sounds)So, we knocked the icicles down ourselves and then kicked them along the street. (more gated kicking ice blocks and skating sounds)Each chunk had a different pitch and pieces when they broke into pieces the pitch rose. I was glad to have this other form of frozen water to add to our repertoire.12. jetLocation at Murray's farm where I recorded a passing jet, January 19, 2022The sun was setting. It was totally quiet. (begin sound of jet passing)Eventually the whisper of a jet aircraft became audible. It crossed the sky distantly, its passage lasting eight minutes without any other sound interrupting it. A perfect sound event in an anesthetized environment. (end sound of jet passing and fade to gentle forest sound)Claude: I would like to conclude Winter Diary Revisited with an excerpt from Murray's 1977 book Music in the cold. Here are the last 11 lines:Saplings are beginning to sprout again in the moist earth.Beneath it animals can be heard digging their burrows.Soon the thrush will return.The old technology of waste is gone.What then remains?The old virtues: harmony; the universal soul; hard work.I will live supersensitized, the antennae of a new race.I will create a new mythology.It will take time.It will take time.There will be time. *Credits(except from the end of my composition Eclogue for an Alpine Meadow in background)I have many people to thank.

This lecture forms part of a series entitled "Antiquity After Antiquity" and is for first year Undergraduate History of Art students. It was delivered at the University of Oxford History of Art Department. An Van Camp (Curator of Northern European Art at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology) explores the practice of Netherlandish artists travelling to Italy from the fifteenth until the seventeenth century. The lecture starts with an overview of the different kinds of Netherlandish artists and their reasons why they went to Italy (illustrated mainly by works on paper from the collections of the Ashmolean Museum). The second part of the lecture focuses on Jan Brueghel the Elder in particular and the different types of drawings he made in Italy after he returned to Flanders, some in preparation of print series.
