1) Mentre l'Europa si riunisce a Bruxelles per discutere il riarmo, i leader europei terrorizzano le opinioni pubbliche, ma non fanno i conti con la realtà. (Chawki Senouci) 2) 15 milioni di spettatori per il discorso di Macron sulla guerra in Ucraina e la difesa europea, ma i francesi restano inquieti e indecisi. (Francesco Giorgini) 3) Medio Oriente, la sorveglianza israeliana sulla vita dei palestinesi arriva ad un altro livello. L'esercito sta sviluppando un sistema di intelligenza artificiale basato su centinaia di migliaia di conversazioni private. (Meron Rapoport - +972) 4) Stati Uniti, Donald Trump vuole chiudere il ministero dell'istruzione. Già pronto l'ordine esecutivo per smantellarlo. (Roberto Festa) 5) Portogallo, verso elezioni anticipate. Il governo di Luis Montenegro, accusato di conflitto d'interessi, rischia di cadere; a nemmeno un anno dalla sua formazione. (Luca Santoro) 6) Verso l'8 Marzo. La risposta delle femministe spagnole al boom dei podcast bro. (Giulio Maria Piantadosi) 7) World Music. Il free jazz nato al Cafe Oto di Londra arriva agli Oscar con la colonna sonora di The Brutalist. (Marcello Lorrai)
At 34, UK-based artist and composer Daniel Blumberg is the youngest person nominated for this year's Best Score at the Oscars. His work on The Brutalist, nominated for 10 Academy Awards, is a continuation and evolution of Brady Corbet's directorial talent — a longtime friend and collaborator. Daniel talks us through his formative experience at Cafe Oto in London — a hub for eccentric and inventive musical talents, which has also inspired Daniel's own highly reviewed solo albums. Daniel explains why he had to visit Italy himself to calibrate the echoes of a marble quarry, why he and Brady always envisioned the opening as a balance of tension and payoff, and why he left in raw recordings of musical “sketches” on purpose to help convey the endless pursuit of creative perfection the film depicts. Why the rising awards buzz around his unique score makes him nervous, and the unlikely (but true!) admiration for Wallace & Gromit.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader.

In this episode, Mary Hurrell shares and discusses her eleven-minute piece Avalanche Candy, a sonic choreography which explores the idea of falling. Guided by the vibrational and embodied quality of the work, we discuss audio as a way to communicate emotional and physical knowledge and intelligence. Collaging text, synthesised voice and field recordings, Hurrell explores notions of gravity within a digital realm; the listener is choreographed through a space of organic and artificial sensations, deconstructed movements and digital physicalities, a bubblegum-industrial dance. BioMary Hurrell (b.1982 South Africa) is an artist working across sound production, live performance and sculpture as a form of expanded choreography. She is interested in forms of language and movement in relation to physical and psychological experience. She has exhibited and performed both nationally and internationally, with selected solo performances, projects and exhibitions including: BUOY, Nicoletti Contemporary, London, (2021); Movement Study 6, The Bower, London (2018); 3 (OXIORCAD), Flat Time House, London (2018); 2 (AERIAL), Kunstraum, London (2018); 1 (PITCH), Body Ecologies 1,Centro Botin, Spain (2018); StereoSkin, Herdubreid Biosal, Seydisfjordur, Iceland (2017); EROTIC MECHANICS, Martello Street, London (2016); Call/Coda, Carlos/Ishikawa, London (2012).

Our latest installment in the 'Delayed with...' series welcomes a founder of popular online music magazine Inverted Audio, Tom Durston, aka Antepop. Antepop played a vinyl-only all-nighter at London's Cafe Oto a few weeks ago, and we are happy to feature the first two hours of that set on our platform. The mix gradually unfolds from ambient, experimental, electronica, and dub to the finest deep house that would set an ideal mood for any given dance floor. With the accent on track selection and setting up the mood, this is a warm-up set done right. Tracks by Huerco S, Traumprinz, Leafar Legov, Rising Sun, and DJ Sprinkles, with some Workshop and Giegling magic, will brighten up your day and prepare you for the weekend ahead. https://soundcloud.com/antepop Antepop on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djantepop Antepop on FB: https://www.facebook.com/antepopmusic www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_itsdelayed_ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://t.me/itsdelayed
Rodrigo AmadoNomeado, pelo sétimo ano consecutivo, pela prestigiada El Intruso International Critics Poll como um dos cinco melhores saxofonistas tenor em actividade, ao lado de Evan Parker, Joe Lovano, Ken Vandermark, Jon Irabagon, Ivo Perelman, James Brandon Lewis, Chris Potter ou Ingrid Laubrock, Rodrigo Amado acaba de editar "Let The Free Be Men" (Trost), o terceiro álbum do quarteto que mantém com três das mais importantes figuras do jazz livre actual - Joe McPhee, Kent Kessler e Chris Corsano. Ainda este ano, editou também “The Field” (No Business), o sétimo álbum do seu celebrado Motion Trio, aqui com a participação do lendário pianista alemão Alexander von Schlippenbach. O ano de 2021 anuncia-se intenso, com a realização prevista de uma extensa tour Europeia dos Humanization Quartet e ainda inúmeros concertos um pouco por toda a Europa. Com o seu quarteto americano, à frente dos Motion Trio, com Miguel Mira e Gabriel Ferrandini, ou integrado nos Humanization Quartet, Amado realizou nos últimos anos inúmeras tournées na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, tendo passado por salas de referência como o Snug Harbor em New Orleans, Hideout em Chicago, The Stone em Nova Iorque, Bimhuis em Amsterdão, DOM em Moscovo, Jazz House em Copenhaga, Cafe Oto em Londres, Pardon To Tu em Varsóvia, De Singer em Antuérpia, Manufaktur em Estugarda ou a State Philharmony Hall em Oradea, vendo o seu trabalho aclamado em publicações internacionais de referência como a revista The Wire, ou os jornais El País e Folha de São Paulo. Com uma série de novas tours previstas para 2021 e 2022, Amado afirma-se, cada vez mais, como um dos mais destacados improvisadores Europeus. Como refere o crítico e escritor norte-americano Stuart Broomer nas liner notes que escreveu para "This Is Our Language", "Amado is an emerging master of a great tradition, more apparent with each new recording or performance." Amado desenvolve ainda intensa actividade como fotógrafo, tendo realizado inúmeras exposições individuais (Maus Hábitos, Porto; Museu da Electricidade, Fundação EDP, Lisboa; Museu da Imagem, Braga; Galeria Módulo, Lisboa; Quase Galeria, Porto; Kameraphoto, Lisboa) e colectivas. Editou em 2012 o livro “Um Certain Malaise” (Documenta), com imagens suas e textos de Gonçalo M Tavares.

In "Memory Talk", artist-performer Nour Mobarak continues her ongoing exploration of memory, psychic spaces and the spatialization of language. Based largely on field-recordings from Hollywood Boulevard and other places in Los Angeles where she asked strangers to share their earliest memories, her sound textures delve deep into the invisible architecture of both the individual mind and US therapy culture, often capturing moments of trauma, transgression, and intense feelings. As memory is itself fragmentary and shifting over time, her formal investigation aptly makes use of techniques such as microsampling, panning, silence, and pitch-shifting, which create sound textures of a pulsing, disorienting and hallucinatory spatiality. The sound sources all come from specific places—the voices of the interviewed on Hollywood Boulevard, a lengthy conversation with a friend, poems written and read by Mobarak herself, music snippets, and podcast-inspired guitar interludes by Dakota Higgins—which are cut up into micro-samples and projected into a stereo piece moving between right and left channel. The voices here become compositional material whose different intonations and syntax carry as much content as do the accounts themselves. The arrangement of voices of others and her own as well as the more incidental sounds in "Memory Talk" capture the sonic quality of the human voice as it becomes dissociated from the story, and the musical immediacy of it. Meanwhile, as Mobarak keeps asking the people on Hollywood Boulevard – what did it look like? Do you have an image? – visuals are missing and images are instead transported by voice. Recommended to listen with headphones. Postproduction: Juliette Amoroso and Nadel Eins Studio Berlin Nour Mobarak (b. 1985, Cairo, EG) lives and works in Los Angeles. Her works and performances have been presented, amongst others, at Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York (2021, 2019), KIM Contemporary Art Centre, Riga (2021), Hakuna Matata Sculpture Garden, Los Angeles (2020), Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (2020), Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2019), LAXART, Los Angeles (2019), Cubitt Gallery, London (2019), Rodeo Gallery, London (2017), and Stadslimeit, Antwerp (2016). Her music has been released by Recital (Los Angeles), Cafe Oto's TakuRoku (London) and Ultra Eczema (Antwerp), and is included in the Whitney Museum Library's Special Collections. Her poetry and other writing has appeared in Triple Canopy, F.R. David, The Claudius App, and the Salzburg Review, among others.
"White lesbian films set in the past" is a budding subgenre in the last few years, stretching from The Favourite to Portrait of a Lady on Fire to last year's Ammonite (which we've covered on this very same show). But there's something intriguing about the latest entry in this rapidly-expanding field, Mona Fastvold's The World to Come, a 19th-century queer drama set on a quiet homestead in the rural areas of upstate New York. Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a pensive woman in a frigid marriage with her overworked farmer husband (Casey Affleck), finds an enticing escape from the doldrums and rhythms of farm life in the flirtations of Tallie (Vanessa Kirby), who herself needs a respite from her abusive husband played by Christopher Abbott. The World to Come styles itself as a tome of poetic yearning, from its muted, distanced presentation to the lyrical voiceover of Waterston reciting her florid journals she writes to pass the days and chronicle her feelings. Together, the two find freedom and joy, however, fleeting, amongst the grief and isolation of their circumstances, and the results are as gorgeous as they are tragic. Befitting the moodiness of the presentation is a similarly idiosyncratic score courtesy of musician and visual artist Daniel Blumberg, who makes his feature-film composing debut. An alumnus of London's free-jazz and experimental venue Cafe Oto, Blumberg leverages his love for improvisation and atmosphere into a fragile soundtrack that's foreboding and romantic in equal measure. Clarinets and strings fill the foggy New York air and the loaded silences between Abigail and Tallie, aided capably by fellow musicians like saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and vocalist Josephine Foster. We sat down with Blumberg to talk about how he came to score The World to Come, working with many of his experimental contemporaries, and the extent to which his work as a visual artist overlaps with his composing work.
Shenece Oretha takes an experimental approach to the podcast format for Somerset House Studios’ Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy series. The multidisciplinary artist choreographs a DJ lecture mix that explores the theme of the body, using sonic forms that range from instruments and speech, to musicians, conductors, and listeners. Oretha journeys through improvisational musical practices, audience culture, Black literature and emotional responses, layering music, speech and sound. Listen as Oretha composes this sonic terrain, and bear witness to sound’s ability to move us emotionally, physically and socially, connecting us even when we are apart. ABOUT THE ARTIST Shenece Oretha is a London based artist who interrogates the emotional, physical and relational sonic material of Blackness. In sharp contrast to the stark technological hardware often present in her installations, her work builds on the mobilising effects of Black oral traditions, celebrating the exchange and participation of intimate action, testimonials and emotional responses to generate expressions of collective imagination. She has exhibited and performed her work both nationally and internationally. Recently her work ‘ Called to Respond’ was shown at Cell project space in 2020. Her first solo exhibition, TESTING GROUNDS, curated by Taylor Le Melle, was presented with Not/Nowhere at Cafe Oto, London (2019). Group exhibitions include 'Cinders, Sinuous and Supple', curated by Deborah Joyce Holman, Lausanne Les Urbaines, Switzerland (2019); 'PRAISE N PAY IT/ PULL UP, COME INTO THE RISE', South London Gallery, London; and 'BBZBLKBK: Alternative Grad Show', Copeland (both 2018). Presentations of performance work include 'Towards a black testimony', Stroom Den Haag curated by Languid Hands (2019); Wysing Polyphonic Festival, Wysing Art Centre, Cambridge (2018);'Congregation', ICA, London, (2017).

On our recent trip to England, we found a cozy hallway in the back of London's Cafe Oto to sit down with living legends Charles Bullen & Charles Hayward of This Heat. Over the course of the conversation, LITA's Matt Sullivan talks with C & C about their music, legacy, the formation of This Is Not This Heat, as well as what's currently on their turntables. For folks in the USA, a miracle will soon be hitting our shores – C & C will be performing This Is Not This Heat. These shows will mark the first ever US performances for both C & C in any incarnation. Hallelujah! Tour dates below. Formed in Brixton, a multicultural, and – at the time – down-at-heel part of south London, This Heat were born into a music scene in rapid flux, first thanks to the punk explosion and then via new wave and its myriad offshoots into pop, rock and art-rock. But while many sought to apply punk attitude to chart-friendly sounds, This Heat were concocting some of the most experimental ideas ever committed to tape, taking influence from musique concrète, krautrock, the burgeoning industrial scene and even the dub reggae blasting out in their home borough.

It's a New Year and time to move forward Last episode of What's The Matter With Me? Episode 27 wasn't very focused and I could have explained myself and foregrounded what is going on with my Multiple Sclerosis disability more effectively. The title of this podcast is What's The Matter With Me? after all. I resolve to run things a little more by-the-book this year. For this episode, at least. Cafe Oto Crowd outside Cafe Oto in Dalston, East London Last episode, I reviewed Marshall Allen's Volcano Quartet CD Volcano Swing, a live performance at the BBC in London, where he was in town for three nights at Cafe Oto. Listener Chris lives there and wrote in to let me know about the location, in Dalston, East London, and some live shows he had seen there. It sounds groovy and I hope to check it out myself someday. Never give up I can have a bad episode. A terrible episode. Ghastly. But I won't give up or cede an inch in any direction. I discussed in Episode 25 as well as Episode 4 that I won't give up. The pressure to give in and let go of the rope and drown in my disability is extreme. Multiple sclerosis is suffocating and pervasive. I have been dumped and it felt very bad -- I bet that anybody having a hard time with something feels the same. Tapering Medication I called my neurologist to request help with tapering down Gabapentin, they said I'd get a call-back in 24-48 hours, but they called me back in about an hour. I was concerned because I had adjusting my own dosage without any guidance, which is bad practice. The nurse told me that my dosages had been fine, and outlined the boundaries for my pain meds. My dosage is back to normal, and I am not in pain. No-tie Shoelaces and shoelace replacements I've bit the bullet and decided to get rid of my laced shoes. I've got some no-tie shoelaces which turn my shoe into slip-ons. They're working OK but my shoe feels like it might fall off. I'm glad to be done with shoelaces because they came untied and I wouldn't retie them. I've got some shoelace replacements in the mail. I'll go over them in an upcoming episode. Disability Visibility Project Disabilty Visibility Project Alice Wong icon Disability Visibility Project is a platform for creating, sharing, and amplifying disabled voices created by disabled activist Alice Wong. I said in Episode 25 that in 2018 I would bring new voices to the podcast and the Disability Visibility Project is part of that effort. Interrupting the Uninterruptible I hosted the Blues Collective with Jack Tar from 10am to 2pm on KFJC yesterday,. For the first hour, Jack plays the music and runs the mixing board while I sit below in the interview area. At 11, we switch places, and I run the board and he is below on the mic. We do it again at noon and at one. While it was my time to run the board, I played the same song twice. I put my foot on the wrong place and unplugged whata the engineer told me was the "Uninterruptible Power Supply" -- it turned off the CD players, the lights -- pretty much the entire station! I ferlt like I lacked focus or was fatigued, and I messed up the show. Everybody feels that way sometimes. "Uninterruptible"? All I had to do was unplug it. New Year's Resolution Talk less, act more. This podcast is a bit of both. Don't think too hard about it.
Episode 27 "New Blog / Throwback Episode 4: Help" As my limitations from multiple sclerosis increase, I've had to get comfortable asking for assistance. Asking for and accepting help is one of the secrets of effective people. Or so I'm told. Winter rolls on. I continue to produce content and work on the site daily. Being with family and experiencing multiple sclerosis or disability can be difficult to manage, and pressure only increases during the holiday. Papa's Got A Brand New Blog I've added a blog to the site, and I discuss my first post, about a disabled woman's social isolation. Episode 4, "Help" from the pre-history, chronicles never giving up, in an echo of Episode 25. I never stop reviewing records I am reviewing Marshall Allen Volcano Quartet's CD Volcano Swing. Marshall Allen was part of the Sun Ra Arkestra and this band is a continuation of that. They were in London in 2011 when a volcano exploded in Iceland, grounding all flights. The band took a three-day residency at Cafe Oto in North London. They stopped by the BBC Radio to promote the gig and recorded this CD. At the end of the CD there is a live interview and Marshall Allen reveals that he was a member of the Sun Ra Arkestra trapped in Seattle when Mount Saint Helens exploded in 1984. Pretty awesome, it makes it clear that a musicians life is always about getting that next gig in line. Episode Synopsis It is cold in the garden and there was light frosting a couple of times this week I've got a new blog People in wheelchairs are judged and face cruel realities Marshall Allen Volcano Quartet "Volcano Swing" CD review Throwback Episode 4 "Help" The holidays are almost over -- just New Year's. Hopefully I'll hike somewhere good.

The last preview podcast for our event at Cafe Oto next week https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/japan-sound-portrait/ featuring an interview with abirdwhale / Masato Kakinoki, a London-based Japanese musician, audiovisual artist, film music composer, PhD in Music candidate at Canterbury Christ Church University. His work varies from singer-songwriter style to audiovisual digital performance art, where he explores the fragile balance among experimental, visceral, emotion, chaos, noise, order and tradition. Performing his own digital music pieces, he has sought for another approach which is neither traditional DJ performance nor the reproduction with a live band. With his audiovisual performance, he experiments with certain factors which tend to be lessened in digital music performance, such as physical presence and fluidity. http://abirdwhale.com/

Malisa Humphrey is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles and Diana-Sofia Estrada is also an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles who is also an avid cyclist and animal lover. This episode in our Notes from The People we're featuring a contribution from long time friend of the show Andrew Choate, an audio collage titled "Dope As Self Control" compiled from sounds he recorded on a recent trip to New Zealand. To close out the show, we have music by Peter Brotzman brought to us by Los Angeles' own Andrew Choate / The Unwrinkled Ear.
