As her career takes flight, the French-Italian mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre talks to presenter Sara Mohr-Pietsch about her love of baroque music, how her ballet training has influenced both her voice and stage presence, and the special musical alchemy that she experiences while collaborating with Thomas Dunford and the Jupiter Ensemble. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the late American composer Pauline Oliveros' Sonic Meditations – a series of text-based scores that instruct groups of people to practice ‘sounding' and listening together – Music Matters speaks to the improviser and saxophonist, Artur Vidal, and sound artist and researcher, Ximena Alarcón ahead of a weekend of performances at Café Oto in London. They describe how Oliveros' works broke with the conventions that separate composer, performer, and audience, and discuss how her Sonic Meditations became the blueprint for the composer's hugely influential Deep Listening school. As China eases its Covid restrictions, Sara speaks to the Shanghai-based journalist Rudolph Tang to learn how the country's classical music sector is returning to business after the pandemic. And, during rehearsals for Richard Jones' new production of Rheingold at English National Opera, Sara joins the musicologist John Deathridge backstage to hear more about his new translation of the first instalment of Wagner's Ring Cycle. She asks the musicologist Barbara Eichner about the nuances of creating a convincing, contemporary translation of High German epic poetry, and is joined by ENO's Head of Music, Martin Fitzpatrick, and music critic at the New York Times, Zachary Woolf, to discuss whether the enterprise of translating foreign language operas into an audience's vernacular remains relevant.

Daniel Blumberg maakte de score bij de film The World to Come, een drama (2020) van de Noorse regisseur Mona Fastvold. Abigail (gespeeld door Katherine Waterston) slaapwandelt door haar leven met de kleurloze boer Dyer (Casey Affleck) en bewaart haar diepere gevoelens vooral voor haar dagboek. Maar dan krijgt het echtpaar nieuwe buren, en maakt Abigail kennis met de vurige en levenslustige Tallie (Vanessa Kirby). Hun vriendschap verandert al snel in een (geheime) romance. Fraai gefilmd en sterk gespeeld liefdesdrama. De muziek van Daniel Blumberg is uitgesproken avant-garde, met een prominente rol voor de klarinet en de basklarinet, en past goed bij de psychologie van de film. Blumberg was tot dusverre vooral actief in de sfeer van de Londens free jazz - hij treedt vaak op in Café Oto. Behalve Blumberg zijn ook bijvoorbeeld saxofonist Peter Brötzman en vocaliste Josephine Foster te horen. - Nellie 0'59” - Tallie 3'18” - Flummoxed 0'38” - Falling in Love 4'07” - The Woods 1'36” - Rooftop 1'22” - The World to Come 5'41” - The Wagon 3'34” - Love and Death 4'37” - The Fire 1'06”

Dalla Gran Bretagna e dall'anno prima della pandemia due novità che testimoniano della vitalità dell'ambito della free music. Riferimento a Londra per il jazz d'avanguardia e la musica improvvisata, il Café Oto ha anche una attività discografica, con l'etichetta Otoroku; in due cd di circa 50 minuti ciascuno Some Good News documenta una serata al Café Oto del luglio 2019 con l'intenso flusso senza soluzione di continuità dell'improvvisazione di Orphy Robinson, marimba ed elettronica, Pat Thomas, piano ed elettronica, William Parker, contrabbasso e altri strumenti, Hamid Drake, percussioni, e della vocalist Elaine Mitchener. La Cadillac è una etichetta con una storia gloriosa e ormai antica, che dopo la morte del leggendario John Jack che l'aveva fondata nel 1973 è stata presa in mano da Mike Gavin, che sta facendo un eccellente lavoro con ristampe del catalogo storico, inediti provenienti dall'archivio (si veda la puntata di Jazz Anthology dell'ottobre 2018 dedicata a The Last Night at the Old Place, di Mike Westbrook) e nuove incisioni; nel giugno 2019 Evan Parker ha tenuto con Alexander Hawkins al piano, John Edwards al contrabbasso e Paul Lytton alla batteria uno dei suoi appuntamenti mensili al Vortex, altro club londinese di riferimento, e il giorno dopo con questo eccellente quartetto - con cui è al sax tenore - ha inciso questo album, che poi, ormai in tempi di pandemia, ha preso come titolo All Knavery and Collusion, ispirato dal Diario dell'anno della peste di Defoe.

Hannah White & Stephen Shiell work together as Blanc Sceol (meaning white temporary shelter). They are certified Deep Listening® practitioners, a discipline that applies meditation principles to sound, developed by the innovative composer Pauline Oliveros. In addition to facilitating Deep Listening® workshops and Sound Walks, Blanc Sceol perform variously, describing their work as ‘Psychosonographic, expressing our experience of place, with field recordings, self-created instruments, found objects, voice and text.’ 

 Past performances have involved demonstrations of Palaeolithic instruments, marauding animal choirs and fishing for sounds at the wetlands. Expect a deep excavation into the human psyche across their choices and an exploration of their sound awareness foremothers. ~ From time expansion to silence sculpting & the cosmic ripplings of tea ~

Charles Hayward is one of the most propulsive, resourceful and generative rock-plus drummers of the past half-century. An influential percussionist, keyboardist, songwriter, singer of songs, and forward thinker through sound, Charles spoke with Phantom Power about a 40thanniversary touring with a partly reformed and enlarged This Heat as This Is Not This Heat, and then opened into generous  reflections on his solo works The Bell Agency  and 30 Minute Snare Drum Roll.  Charles is founding member of the experimental rock groups This Heat and Camberwell Now. Since the late 1980s he has concentrated on solo projects and collaborations, including Massacre with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith. Most recently he released an album of improvised duets with Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. This Is Not This Heat play their final concerts at EartH Hackney Arts Center in London March 1st , a two-day residency in Copenhagen March 5th-6th, Le Poisson Rouge in New York City March 18th, Zebulon in Los Angeles March 20-21, the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville TN on March 24th, the Albany in Deptford, London May 25th.

Transcript [CHARLES HAYWARD] Song is to be human.. [ethereal music plays in the background] [CRIS CHEEK] This…is…Phantom Power. [radio or television static mixed with an orchestra] [MALE ANNOUNCER] The time now, very nearly three o’clock. The next program on BBC One: “Songs of Praise” follows at three fifteen… [Funk/techno music suddenly cuts in] [MACK HAYGOOD] Episode nine. [CRIS] A drummer’s tale. [music fades out] [MACK] So it’s great to be back. Phantom Power Season Two, and this episode is one that I have been waiting for with a certain fan-ish frenzy, because we’re going to talk about Charles Hayward; the drummer, keyboardist, vocalist, tape manipulator, pioneer of experimental rock and roll. [CRIS] Yeah, right. And still putting out albums. Still touring. This Heat, the band that you would just hearing, they’ve recently done a 40 year set of concerts under the name “This is not This Heat.” [MACK] It’s amazing to hear This Heat still making such an impact on music, because I remember playing music in Chicago in the late 90s and early 2000s and at that time post rock was a genre that was a pretty big deal. Those of us playing that sort of music were really inspired I would say by a few bands. There was Can. There was Lee Scratch Perry. There was This Heat. Talk Talk was another one. [CRIS] Interesting to hear that. I like them too, especially their later albums. [MACK] So, This Heat was just a group that once you heard them you’re like, I can’t believe this already existed so long ago. [CRIS] They they take a punk DIY aesthetic and then they retain some of the immediacy of the elements of that music. They were more involved with a very different kind of idea about the interrelationship between melody and rhythm and noise. Dirty sense and dirty samplers and expanded sense inside music making that leads into trance ambience, precise bursts of silence. I think all of that is part of what makes their music still sound fresh. [ethereal music fades in] [MACK] Charles Hayward went on to play with so many interesting bands, including Massacre with the guitarist Fred Frith and the bass player Bill Laswell. [CRIS] They just put out an album this year of improvisations with [inaudible] from Sonic Youth. [MACK] By the way, how do you know Charles Hayward? [CRIS] Loosely rubbing shoulders on and off over the years. When I was playing music around various different scenes in London. This sort of person who I felt was part of a community of music makers and interested audiences over...
