Words and music - Was können Worte ausdrücken, wo Musik still sein muss, was Musik, wo Worte wie Wörter stumm ... Das Komponisten- und Hörspielmacherduo Milliken und Wiesner umkreist hierzu die Poesie der Moderne. Im Zentrum stehen Prosagedichte aus Gertrude Steins Buch "Tender Buttons" von 1914 sowie Lyrik von William Carlos Williams. Sie hinterfragen amüsant wie sprachspielerisch den von Gefühlen geleiteten Blick auf die Alltagsdinge - von der Vase, dem Wohnzimmer bis zur Obstschale. Und die Musik antwortet über eine Palette von Instrumenten und Stilen, die von Leidenschaften erzählt. Mit: Dagmar Manzel (Deutsche Stimme) Julian Day, Brett Dean, Cathy Milliken, Michael Schiefel und Vanessa Tomlinson (Englische Stimmen) Musikaufnahme: Lutz Glandien Wortaufnahme und Final Mix: Jean Szymczak Komposition: Cathy Milliken Musik-Arrangements und Regie: Dietmar Wiesner Produktion: SWR 2022
During this episode of the SIMM-podcast we focus on the role composers may play within participatory social and community music projects. You will during this episode hear 3 composers, who have different perspectives and ideas about the questions we ask them. They are practitioners within social music projects, as well as scholars developing research on this practice: Cathy Milliken from Australia (1:14->32:34), Michal Kawecki from Poland (32:37->51:28), and Fiona Evison from Canada (51:30->1:01). This is again a somewhat longer episode, of about an hour, but we think it makes sense to take the time to listen to the details Cathy, Michal and Fiona share with us about their practice and their research in this field.Cathy Milliken will be one of the facilitators of the 2nd SIMM research seminar on the role of composers in social and community music projects, organised from 9 to 11 May 2025 at the MusikFabrik in Cologne. Deadline for applications is 31st December 2024 (see call here).Referenced during this podcast-episode: Claire Bishop ('Participation'), Peter Brook, John Cage, Rebecca Cohen, Creative Minds in Song, Guildhall School, Mind Foundation UK, My Child Fell (Isobel Lane & Michal Kawecki), Gavin Roberts, Song in the City, Thomas Turino ('Music as Social Life - The Politics of Participation'), The transcription of this episode can be found here.During this episode music is shortly heard from Steve Reich's 'Drumming' (played by the Ictus Ensemble), as well as rehearsal recordings of the Kinshasa based traditional drummers ensemble Beta Mbonda.Contact: info@simm-platform.eu

Talking in the now now: Darmstadt composition and oboe tutor Cathy Milliken is interviewing composer Liza Lim for the 12th Darmstadt On Air podcast. Cathy and Liza, both born in Australia, have known each other for quite a long time. They appreciate each other’s work and share a big interest in collaborative practices. Both of them understand composing as a process of working with and being influenced by performers, contexts and the presence of whoever is in the space. Cathy has done projects in South Africa from where she takes the idea of the now now, which can be understood as an intensified now. In her conversation with Liza, they reflect upon the plural now: "In our times there is this kind of expansion, there is this kind of generative thing that's going on: multiple times, multiple experiences, multiple formations of times and of course that's a really interesting thing as a composer”, Liza says. They also touch on compositions like Liza's orchestral work "Mary/ Transcendence after Trauma" (2020) which is part of her "Annunciation Triptych" for orchestra, "Atlas of the Sky" (2020) and "Extinction Events and Dawn Chorus" (2017). The discussion took place on 8 October 2020 while Cathy was starting her day in Berlin and Liza beginning her evening in Melbourne. A conversation crossing different time zones landing in the now now.
