Podcast appearances and mentions of Bryce Dessner

En esta era de relativismo la pregunta de Pilato en el Evangelio según Juan (capítulo 18) no puede ser más actual: "¿Qué es la verdad?. Cuando la mayoría decide lo que es verdadero o falso, según un criterio puramente subjetivo, la pregunta ya no es si algo es cierto, sino si funciona, me sirve o me hace sentir bien. Para muchos, ya no hay una verdad objetiva. Cuando Bono retoma las palabras del actual Premio Nobel de Literatura, Bob Dylan, "A lo largo de la torre del vigía" (All Along The Watchtower) en una actuación por sorpresa del grupo irlandés U2 en el Embarcadero de San Francisco en 1987, le añade la frase "Tres acordes y la verdad", que se convierte en todo un motivo para su vida y su obra. Su impresionante versión se puede ver con una deslumbrante fotografía en blanco y negro en la película "Rattle & Hum", cuyo libro oficial está escrito por su amigo evangélico, el poeta y periodista musical Steve Turner. John Lennon pedía "algo de verdad" (Gimme Some Truth" en su primer disco sin los Beatles en 1971, donde está su famoso "Imagina". Hace la canción cuando todavía no ha acabado la guerra del Vietnam con la producción de Phil Spector y la guitarra de George Harrison. La escuchamos en la versión del grupo británico Kula Shaker en 2022. La verdad nos parecerá triste, pero "lo que no tiene es remedio", dice Joan Manuel Serrat en una de sus más emocionantes canciones del disco de 1986, "Cada loco con su tema". Las palabras de Pilato en la Buena Noticia según Juan (capítulo 18) están en el contexto del proceso de Jesús, primero judío y luego romano, uno por blasfemia y otro por rebeldía. El juicio según la ley judía tiene tres fases: primero ante Anás, el sumo sacerdote reconocido por los judíos y luego Caifás, nombrado por los romanos (en el que se centran los otros tres evangelios) y la mañana siguiente ante el Sanedrín. La primera película que dirigió Robert Redford para una nueva productora independiente fue "La conspiración" (2010). Es la sorprendente historia del proceso a una mujer llamado Mary Surratt por su supuesta participación en el asesinato del presidente Lincoln. Protagonizada por un joven James McAvoy como abogado reticente de la misteriosa acusada que hace una irreconocible Robin Wright, nos lleva a la cuestión misma de la verdad ante un juicio que está ya determinado por los prejuicios de todos los que en él forman parte. José de Segovia la comenta con la banda sonora original de Mark Isham y Bryce Dessner para la serie "Manhunt", sobre la búsqueda de los responsables del magnicidio. "El propiciatorio" (The Mercy Seat) es una de esas canciones del australiano Nick Cave, directamente inspiradas en la Biblia. La graba con su grupo The Bad Seeds en 1988, pero ha tenido versiones tan conocidas como la que hizo Johnny Cash poco antes de morir. La oímos en una actuación para la radio KRCW de Santa Mónica en 2013 con la atormentada voz del condenado a muerte que "dice la verdad, pero no tiene miedo a morir". Escuchamos finalmente la propia voz de Pilato en la versión música musical de "El proceso" de Jesús (The Trial) que hizo el hijo del ministro anglicano Adrian Snell con la Roya Philarmonic Orchestra en 1980, pero esta vez en la versión que hizo ahora el músico inglés con holandeses y la orquesta de la iglesia del predicador John Stott en Londres, All Souls en 2024. El papel que hacía Richard Barnes en el Superstar de Londres en 1972, lo hace ahora el neerlandés Chiel Naber.

Offen, schlagfertig und sehr reflektiert – so wirkt der finnische Geiger Pekka Kuusisto im Gespräch. An Silvester und Neujahr 2024/25 hat er in der Elbphilharmonie mit dem NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester das Violinkonzert von Bryce Dessner gespielt, das ihm der US-amerikanische Rockgitarrist (The National) und Komponist Dessner auf den Leib geschrieben hat. Es ist geigerischer Leistungssport sondergleichen. Kuusisto hat sie trotz der wenigen Jahre, die es das Werk überhaupt erst gibt, wohl schon an die zwanzig Mal auf den großen Konzertbühnen der Welt bewältigt. Er erzählt sehr anschaulich, wie gründlich er sich auch physisch jedes Mal auf diese Herausforderung vorbereitet, und wie viel leichter ihm auch dank Pilates inzwischen manches fällt.  Am Morgen vor dem ersten Konzert nahm er sich Zeit, im Elbphilharmonie Talk über sein Leben zu sprechen, in dem Platz ist für viele verschiedene Arten von Musik. Er spricht über seinen Bruder, den er viel zu früh verloren hat, und er liefert eine sehr finnische Erklärung dafür, weshalb er ganz gut dirigieren kann, obwohl er das Fach formell nie studiert hat. Kleiner Spoiler: Alkohol spielt dabei durchaus eine Rolle. 

In a quick 1-2 punch after talking with Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist), Bryce Dessner (The National, The Revenant, The Two Popes) joins The Film Scorer podcast! Bryce released two scores last year, for the films Sing Sing and We Live In Time. However, Bryce and I were under a tight time constraint and so had to pick and choose what we chatted about; no time for a classic rambling conversation. As such, we spend much of our conversation covering his score for Sing Sing. This includes, among other things, choosing to focus the music on nature and escapism (rather than the more obvious matching of the prison setting), making space for the performers, and the film's equitable compensation system. Of course, we still manage to pack a lot in, so we cover quite a bit more as well, both about Sing Sing and various unexpected topics. Bryce's score, and much of his other music, is available on all major platforms. Sing Sing was released earlier last year and will be re-released in theaters (at least in the US) on January 1. You can find out more about Bryce on his website.

Sie ist Pink-Floyd-Fan und hat kein Problem mit Zuschauern, die zwischen den Sätzen klatschen. Pianistin Alice Sara Ott spielt am 15. und 16. Januar mit den Münchner Philharmonikern die deutsche Erstaufführung des Klavierkonzerts von Bryce Dessner. Im Interview mit BR-KLASSIK spricht sie über Nostalgie und die Vielfältigkeit der Nocturnes von John Field - und verrät, wie sie sich dem ersten für sie geschriebenen Klavierkonzert genähert hat.

I first heard The National 17 years ago this month I think, and I fell in love instantly. They've continued to be one of my favourite bands, and it's been great to see them ascend to new heights of popularity and pursue interesting creative directions in the band and outside. Guitarist Aaron Dessner is now a key producer and co-writer for the likes of Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams. His twin brother Bryce Dessner is a composer whose orchestral and chamber compositions have been commissioned by the LA Philharmonic, Edinburgh International Festival and Kronos Quartet amongst others, and he's collaborated with the likes of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Paul Simon, Sufjan Stevens and many more. Frontman Matt Berninger has become one of the most compelling rock frontman of the 21st century with his often darkly funny, self-deprecating lyrics, and gangly, physical stage presence. Drummer Bryan Devendorf is one of the most distinctive drummers operating in rock today. Which leaves my guest this episode, bassist Scott Devendorf. I feel like Scott is the member of the band I knew least about. Obviously I've seen him onstage many times anchoring the band, but I was intrigued to see how the interview would go, and was pleased to discover Scott was excellent company. The National have just released a new live album entitled “Rome” which was recorded this past June in, well Rome obviously. It does a pretty good job of capturing the catharsis and sometimes chaos of a National show. I thought it was an interesting decision to focus on one particular show rather than compile tracks from across the tour. I was curious how they would handle the situations where Matt goes walkabout with the microphone, climbing into the crowd and getting mobbed with fans singing their heads off. Scott had a lot to say about these decisions, and about The National as a live act in general. He was really generous with his time. I only found out this interview was happening less than 24 hours before it took place, so it was quite a whirlwind getting it prepped and organised. I again had some technical issues so I've mostly just used the zoom feed but it sounds fine. To have The National represented on the podcast really means a lot. This will be the last episode of the year, and what a way to go out.

"Sing Sing" premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was praised for its relevance to current social issues, powerful performances, and skilled direction. It's one of the most acclaimed films of 2024 and a strong Oscar contender for A24. The film tells the important story of a group of people who are incarcerated at Sing Sing Correctional Facility who find redemption through the art of creating theatrical stage shows in the Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) program. I had the privilege of hearing from breakthrough actor, the Gotham Award-winning Clarence Maclin, about his life, experience making the film, and dreams for the future, which you can listen to below. Following this conversation, Daniel Howat was fortunate to speak with the people behind the music from the film, composer Bryce Dessner and songwriters Adrian Quesada & Abraham Alexander, for the closing credits track "Like A Bird." Don't miss the opportunity to see this remarkable film, which will be returning to theaters on January 17th, 2025, from A24 and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories for the upcoming 97th Academy Awards.

Send us a Text Message.I've been feeling a bit under the weather, while also preparing for my sweetie's upcoming visit (a much longer visit this time), and my heart's full of romance and  thoughts about when we first fell in love. So it's the perfect time to replay my episode about Cyrano, Joe Wright's lush romantic musical version of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac story. Every gorgeous musical phrase and motif by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National, and lyric by The National lead singer Matt Berninger and his partner, Carin Besser, embodies the yearning thrill and desperate longing of falling deeply in love with someone. A couple of years on, I still cry when I hear this score and watch Peter Dinklage's face express the pain and exhilaration of romantic love.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comDirector Joe Wright on why Cyrano is his most personal film since Atonement.I'm incapable of hearing this song and these lyrics without bursting into tears.

Guitarist, composer, and teacher Benjamin Verdery seems to know everybody who's ever picked up the instrument. Ben is a classical guitarist himself, but his musical friends include Andy Summers of the Police, the fingerpicking virtuoso Leo Kottke, flamenco legend Paco Pena, guitarist Bryce Dessner of the indie rock band The National – the list goes on and on. Lots of contemporary composers have written works for him, and Ben himself has written a wide range of works. He's filled a 40 year career with a wild assortment of collaborations and collaborators. Recently, Ben emailed to say he was retiring next year, so it seemed high time that we invite him back here before he jets off to Hawaii. Benjamin Verdery plays some of his own pieces from his collection called Some Towns and Cities, and yes, at least one of those towns is in Hawaii.  Set list: 1. Capitola, CA 2. Keanae, HI 3.

Secretly Society presents a three-episode mini-series about collaboration, friendship, and a community-driven project; originally formed by Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner in 2008, this is the magical and illusive tale of Big Red Machine. This series is narrated by music writer and broadcaster Laura Barton, including live interviews with Vernon, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Sharon Van Etten, Anais Mitchell, and more. The conclusion to the story, for now. Big Red Machine has been a rejection of the music industry's expectations weighing upon Dessner and Vernon, but also a place of solace for the pair amongst their sometimes painful struggles with mental health. The pair take turns grounding each other through their successes and supporting during their lows, while writing songs like “Brycie” and “Hutch” that pay tribute to close-knit family and friends. The pool of collaborators ripples out ever-further, and new methods of working to complement each others' contributions carry on the experimental spirit of Big Red Machine.   Links:  Secretly Society Podcast Link Secretly Society Podcast Store Link Secretly Society General Information Link   Big Red Machine:  Big Red Machine on Instagram Big Red Machine on Facebook

This series is narrated by music writer and broadcaster Laura Barton, including live interviews with Vernon, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Sharon Van Etten, Anais Mitchell, and more. Part Two finds Vernon and Dessner working out just what Big Red Machine was, and should be; exactly what role it should play in their respective musical lives was proving hard to pin down. Making their second record, more voices were added to bring Dessner and Vernon's songs to life, expanding the Big Red Machine identity and sound, and discovering that the defining quality of the group was something intentionally experimental.

Director Reinaldo Marcus Green talks to Tom Sutcliffe about One Love, his biopic about the legendary reggae singer-songwriter Bob Marley and his music.Bryce Dessner, the guitarist of the award-winning rock band The National, discusses his other life in classical music and writing a new concerto for pianist Alice Sara Ott, which is having its UK premiere at the Royal Festival Hall.This week the liturgical calendar marks the moment when Joseph was warned by an angel of King Herod's intent to harm Jesus, and told to flee with him and Mary to safety in Egypt. The painter Julian Bell and art historian Joanna Woodall consider how The Flight into Egypt has been the subject of great artists - Giotto, Gentileschi, Brueghel, Rembrandt - for centuries and shapes our perception of refugees to this day. Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Olivia Skinner

Tom Service meets French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet during his recital tour where he performs both books of Debussy's Préludes. His 1996 recording of the pieces has just been re-released on vinyl with artwork created by his friend Vivienne Westwood, shortly before she died. Jean-Yves talks to Tom about the need to collaborate, his love of Debussy, Gershwin and Bill Evans, and why challenging conventions and being yourself as an artist are the keys to success and happiness. He also shares his excitement about an upcoming multisensory performance of Alexander Scriabin's 1910 tone poem 'Prometheus, The Poem of Fire' - a collaboration with Cartier in-house perfumer Mathilde Laurent, conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and San Francisco Symphony which involves not only light and colour in addition to the music, but scent too.Tom talks to pianist Alice Sara Ott and composer Bryce Dessner about a new piano concerto he's written for her, which receives its UK premiere in February. Inspired by Alice's playing, the piece is also dedicated to Bryce's sister Jessica, a dancer and choreographer who has shaped his musical life. Alice talks about her love of Bryce's music and the challenges of getting inside a new piece. Bryce discusses his approach to the concerto, the power of acoustic music and how his work as a composer for the concert hall relates to his life as guitarist and writer in the band The National.

This film was directed by Mike Mills and stars Joaquin Phoenix, Gaby Hoffman, Scoot McNairy, Molly Webster,, Jaboukie Young-White, and Woody Norman. Aaron and Bryce Dessner did the music, and this really excited Hunter because of their previous collaborations with other musicians he likes. This film follows an uncle and his nephew who are brought together by unforeseen circumstances and learn to coexist and bond, while untangling their own troubles. It is a joy to watch and we think you will enjoy it. But...

Derived from Erica Schmidt's musical retelling of Edmond Rostand's oft-staged play, Cyrano stars Peter Dinklage as the titular protagonist. Caught in romantic intrigue alongside him is Haley Bennett as Roxanne and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Christian. The basic plot of this version isn't too different from most of the traditional renditions, but several key alterations are present in both the text and the subtext of Cyrano; this is apparent both in the dialogue and in the songs composed by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National. Ryan is joined by Sylvan and Cheryl for a discussion about this striking (if uneven) film. Talking points naturally include unrequited love, the pitfalls of escalating lies, and Sylvan's pet peeve about casting Hollywood musicals with actors who don't have professional singing ability. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support

Matt Berninger and Bryce Dessner of The National join Norah by the fireplace to talk about and play songs from their amazing new album, The First Two Pages of Frankenstein. They fill her in on what it was like to come together as a band while living in far away places, the inspiration for the album, and writers block. Matt's warm baritone inspires Norah to ask for a duet on the first-ever acoustic performance of a decade-old song.

Sufjan Stevens aus Detroit hat den Megahit («Mystery Of Love» aus dem Film «Call Me By Your Name»), Gastauftritte bei Grossen (The National) und die Gabe, ultrapersönliches leicht und zugänglich zu machen. Sein Leben und Karriere kulminieren nun im todtraurigen Meisterwerk «Javelin». Was definitiv umhaut, kam erst ganz zum Schluss: Am Tag der Veröffentlichung von «Javelin» (06.10.2023) gibt Sufjan Stevens einen ganz seltenen Einblick in sein Privatleben. «This album is dedicated to the light of my life, my beloved partner and best friend Evans Richardson, who passed away in April.» Was sich als kaleidoskopartiges Herzschmerz-Album angekündigt hatte wird mit einem Schlag zum wuchtigen Zeugnis des totalen Verlusts. Und die Parallelen zum fantastischen Minimalwerk «Carrie & Lowell» (2015), seinem beliebtesten Album auf dem Stevens die Abwesenheit und den Tod seiner Mutter verarbeitete, klingen noch deutlicher. Denn nach Ausflügen in etwas anstrengende Kollaborations- («Planetarium»), Konzept- («The Ascension»), Instrumental- («Convocations») und New Age-Projekte («A Beginner's Mind»), begibt sich Sufjan Stevens erstmals seit bald 10 Jahren wieder in den klassischen Folk-Songwriter-Modus. Interessanterweise diesmal aber nicht ohne ausgewählte Farbtupfer aus den erwähnten Abenteuern: Bombast, Kitsch, Kollabos (wie mit dem «Planetarium»-Weggefährten Bryce Dessner von The National) – aber auch Stille und experimentelle Momente – finden Platz in dieser ausufernden Collage, die sich unglaublicherweise anfühlt wie ein stilles, zugängliches Trostpflaster; ein Märchen, das uns hilft, die Turbulenzen des Lebens zu bewältigen. Stichwort Turbulenzen: Davon kann Sufjan Stevens bekanntlicherweise einige Lieder Singen, aber just im Vorfeld der Veröffentlichung von «Javelin» wurde bekannt, dass er den Sommer über durch die Nervenkrankheit Guillain-Barré-Syndrom ans Spitalbett gefesselt war und in den letzten Wochen das Laufen neu erlernen musste. Deshalb gab er keine Interviews zum Album. Laut seinem Blog müsste Stevens in diesen Tagen wieder zu Hause sein. Gute Besserung! Wie immer verlosen wir das Sounds! Album der Woche: Gewinnt «Javelin» von Sufjan Stevens auf CD jeden Tag live im Radio.

Anchored by evocative melodies and an enthralling lyrical narrative, First Two Pages of Frankenstein signals a thrilling new chapter in the band's discography. The 11-song album was produced by The National at Long Pond Studios in upstate New York and features guest appearances by Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Sufjan Stevens.  The follow-up to 2019's top five hit album I Am Easy To Find, First Two Pages of Frankenstein was initially stalled while lead singer Matt Berninger navigated “a very dark spot where I couldn't come up with lyrics or melodies at all, and that period lasted for over a year. Even though we'd always been anxious and argued quite a lot whenever we were working on a record, this was the first time it ever felt like maybe things really had come to an end.”  Instead, The National “managed to come back together and approach everything from a different angle, and because of that we arrived at what feels like a new era for the band,” according to guitarist/pianist Bryce Dessner.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pianist Lisa Kaplan of eighth blackbird joins us to chat about the many evolutions of their organization, from the original ensemble to their many teaching endeavors. We chat about the Chicago Artists Workshop and Blackbird Creative Lab, two of the ways in which they continue to “move music forward” beyond their primarily performance-based projects. Kaplan shares about how the ensemble conceptualizes and puts projects—such as This is my Home—into action. We speak about how the organization integrates interns into their administrative process. And, we ask, "why 'eighth blackbird'?" Born in Motown, Lisa Kaplan is a pianist specializing in the performance of new work by living composers. Kaplan is the founding pianist and Executive Director of the four-time Grammy Award-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird. Kaplan has won numerous awards, performed all over the country and has premiered new pieces by hundreds of composers, including Andy Akiho, Jennifer Higdon, Amy Beth Kirsten, David Lang, Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, George Perle, and Pamela Z. She has had the great pleasure to collaborate and make music with an eclectic array of incredibly talented people - Laurie Anderson, Jeremy Denk, Bryce Dessner, Philip Glass, Bon Iver, J. Ivy, Glenn Kotche, Shara Nova, Will Oldham, Natalie Portman, Gustavo Santaolalla, Robert Spano, Tarrey Torae, Dawn Upshaw and Michael Ward-Bergeman to name a few. As a proud, single-mama-by-choice, Kaplan has been having an incredible time raising and learning from her happy-go-lucky 4 year old, Frida. Musically as of late, she has also greatly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to do both composing and arranging for Eighth Blackbird as well as some producing. In 2019, Kaplan co-produced her first record, When We Are Inhuman with Bryce Dessner. Kaplan is a true foodie, gourmet cook, avid reader, crossword and Scrabble addict, enjoys baking ridiculously complicated pastry and loves outdoor adventures. She has summited Mt.

I met Alec in... Jesus, 2001? Ironically, we met partially in the context of me grieving a friend who had passed. We met again through music. He had started a record label in order to put out the music by a new band from Ohio called The National. I was managing Baby Dayliner, who wound up on Brassland. But our way into the conversation today is Mark Lanegan. When Lanegan's memoir 'Sing Backwards and Weep' published, Alec read it and plunged into Lanegan's music during the pandemic. We cover a lot here but honestly, you need to listen to this podcast because Alec is such an earnest fan of music, even after working in the industry for more than 20 years. Being a fan is deeply cool. Remaining a fan is even cooler.   Alec Hanley Bemis is a writer, producer & curator of creative projects, primarily in music. In 2001, he co-founded the Brassland label with Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National. For that work, he has been covered by The Irish Times, The Guardian, Print Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal. In his first career as a writer & journalist, he was published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Bookforum and LA Weekly on topics ranging from Beck to backyard wrestling. Once a month or so he posts algorithm-free music playlists to his mixtape delivery service AHB's Goodies: http://alechanleybemis.substack.com Learn more at http://brassland.org and http://alechanleybemis.com

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a really good one and I've been so excited to share it with you. My next guest is an actor I consider one of the greatest of our generation. He's worked with everyone from Del Toro to Malick, Tarantino to Soderbergh. He's an extraordinary actor who loses himself in the life of his film and television characters. Ever evolving, he's a true chameleon and shapeshifter, presenting us with a new and intriguing character. This is Clifton Collins. Jr. Clifton Collins Jr. has acting in his blood. His grandfather, Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, became an American icon, starring alongside John Wayne and Mel Blanc throughout his career. Clifton burst onto the scene in 1997, but it was his portrayal of Frankie Flowers in Traffic that forever cemented his status as an actor to be taken seriously. Since then he's stolen the screen in films like Capote and Sunshine Cleaning. Clifton's latest film Jockey is yet another work of art, with his titular performance earning him the Sundance Film Festival U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Best Acting.Jockey tells the story of an aging jockey competing to win one last title for his longtime trainer, who has acquired what appears to be a championship horse. But the years – and injuries – have taken a toll on his body, throwing into question his ability to continue his lifelong passion. And the arrival of a young rookie rider, who claims to be his son, and whom he takes under his wing, further complicates the path to fulfilling his dream. The Smith Society is an interview series focused on storytellers. It's an intimate look at artists -- who they are, how they got from A to B, a detailed look at what makes them tick and advice to those pursuing a career in telling stories, as well as some insight into the industry, pitching projects, and, of course, how we can make the world a better place.The Smith Society Podcast: This is the Smith Society, a podcast about storytellers and storytelling.
