Podcasts about Curved Air

Heureux de partager avec vous trois excellentes nouvelles sorties ! Par respect pour son age canonique, commençons par HAWKWIND dont l'album "There Is Nos Space For Us" nous place immédiatement en orbite...Et ça fait du bien de nous éloigner de cette planète de plus en plus folle...Dave Brock (seul membre de l'équipage d'origine) navigue dans l'espace depuis 1970 avec un rythme toujours soutenu de parutions !  Toujours en Terre d'Albion, RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN publie le 3ème volet de sa trilogie consacrée à la mythologie grecque dont vous avez pu découvrir les deux premiers ici même au cours de l'année dernière. Et à mon humble avis, il nous a gardé le meilleur pour la fin ! Beaucoup innovations sonores sur cet album (presque) instrumental intitulé "The Beauty, The Strenght & The Divine" A écouter confortablement installé et en immersion dans la palette de sons de Maître Richard !  De ce côté ci de la Manche aussi nous avons des talents, notamment à Rennes dont la réputation n'est plus à faire ! DRAMA KING est le projet solo de l'artiste breton Kevin Gourdin issu de la scène punk rock. Ce projet est plus intimiste, ambiance Nick Cave et là encore, il est recommandé de vous  installer confortablement pour écouter cet album "Mud & Concrete" qui a des choses à dire ! Vous pourrez aussi en profiter version live, puisque Kevin défend son œuvre en tournée avec ses musiciens. Pour  nos auditeurs nantais, cela se passera au COLD CRACH à Rezé demain 25 avril, à ne pas manquer les amis !  Autre idée de sortie dans la cité des Ducs, LE FLORIDE accueille ce samedi 26 avril trois groupes de la scène métal. Pour vous en donner un avant-goût dans ce numéro : BLACK RADISH & THE TAINTED GOURDS, c'est du lourd ! A retrouver en concert samedi aux côtés de RIPLEY FROM MARS et MAANEN FACES, ambiance garantie ! Italie, 1974 : naissance d'un groupe baptisé IL CHERCHIO D' ORO...Ils ont cherché longtemps car hormis quelques 45t, il leur faudra attendre les années 2000 pour publier enfin leurs premiers albums pour le plus grand plaisir de nos oreilles impatientes ! Extrait ici de l'excellent "Pangea E Le Tre Lune" paru en 2023 : la classe du rock progressif italien aux accents de sons classiques et baroques... 20 ans auparavant, les suédois ANEKDOTEN sortaient "Gravity", pour les amateurs d'un néo-prog atypique, avec cordes et mellotron, quelque peu post-rock et très agréable au passage dans vos cages à miel ! Outre-atlantique, le duo brésilien FLEESH est réputé pour leurs savoureuses et délicates versions de pépites du rock progressif, alternant avec de belles productions d'albums personnels. Mais c'est en mode "cover" qu'on les retrouve ici avec une magnifique et poignante interprétation de l'ultime album de PINK FLOYD avec Roger Waters  : "The Final Cut". Issu de leur premier opus justement intitulé "Versions" en 2003.  Vous le savez tout à démarré dans LA décennie 70's ! Illustration avec le génial FRANCK ZAPPA pour un album toutefois plus consensuel avec le marché mais toujours d'une grande originalité : "Over-Nite Sensation" en 1973. Même remarque d'ailleurs pour les GENTLE GIANT et leur excellent "The Missing Piece" en 1977, ici avec un coup de jeune puisqu'en version remixée par un certain Steven Wilson... Enfin, un an plus tard le supergroupe U.K. réunissait quatre pointures (membres de Soft Machine, Curved Air, Roxy Music, Yes ou encore et King Crimson, excusez du peu !!) Résultat : un album éponyme visant à proposer une musique (ici encore) plus accessible et une belle carte de visite pour toutes ses musiques qui font le bonheur d'Amarok chaque jeudi soir sur les antennes de SUN !      Page Facebook de l'émission : AMAROK44

En janvier 2024, le groupe de jazz fusion hongrois DJABE se produit avec l'anglais STEVE HACKETT (ex-GENESIS) dans un festival norvégien. Tout ce petit monde en profite pour se réchauffer en studio et produire ce bel ouvrage qu'est "Frya Artic Jam" qui vient tout juste de sortir et qui ouvre avec bonheur notre émission !  Autre belle et fraîche sortie, à peine un an après "Favorite Places", BRENDAN PERKINS (qui maîtrise tous les instruments de son album !) nous propose "Stories From The Old Church Lane", on adore les belles histoires !  Toujours en terres britanniques, KING CRIMSON, l'occasion de rendre hommage au regretté John Wetton sur un album paru en l'an de grâce 1974. Vive la délation ! On retourne en Norvège (territoire décidément prolifique du genre) pour donner l'antenne à un tout nouveau groupe qui s'est étrangement choisi pour nom SYKOFANT. Pourquoi ce nom dont l'origine grecque sycophante signifie "délateur professionnel" ? Cela reste dans les mystères afférents au monde du rock progressif...Mais écouter ce nouveau projet fort réussi !  Retour dans les 70's avec une nouvelle formation autour de Sonja Kristina qui conserve toutefois le nom de son groupe CURVED AIR mais pour une orientation plus "rock" avec la sortie de l'excellent "Air Cut". Dans la belle région de Bretagne se cache un groupe fantastique qui mériterait quand même plus d'exposition : SAQQARAH. Extrait ici du dernier album en date des vannetais et l'occasion de préciser qu'ils se montreront sur scènes cet été, d'abord à domicile le 8 août aux RENC'ARTS de Guidel puis le 15 du même mois au désormais célèbre festival MOTOCULTOR de Carhaix. Vous faites quoi cet été ? En revanche on n'est pas prêt de revoir MIKE OLDFIELD qui semble avoir pris sa retraite loin là-bas dans les Caraïbes...Mais il nous reste une belle et grande discographie, comme par exemple la surprenante 3ème mouture de son célèbre Tubular Bells sortie à la fin des 90's ! Plongée dans les balbutiements du rock progressif italien avec les napolitains OSANNA, qu'on retrouve avec leur tout 1er album en 1971 avant leur grandiose "Palepoli"... On ne peut certes pas inclure THE BEATLES dans l'univers du rock progressif mais mais mais...leur période psychédélique de 1967 nous laisse quand même des titres qui ont toute leur place dans ce programme et puis de toute façon...je fais ce que je veux !! Pour refermer le rideau sur ce numéro, le groupe EDENYA qui annonce un nouveau single pour les prochains jours, histoire de patienter jusqu'au nouvel album que j'attends avec impatience et que j'espère découvrir (et partager) avant la fin de la saison. Côté live, on pourra certainement écouter leur nouvel opus au festival CRESCENDO le 17 août à Saint Palais sur Mer  ! Vous faites quoi cet été ?  Page Facebook de l'émission : AMAROK44

L'Intelligenza Artificiale Ospite: Fulvio Palmieri Con brani di: Ghostwound, OMD, Alan Parson's Project, Den Harlow, Pierangelo Bertoli, Radiohead, Topo Gigio, Curved Air and many more

John Etheridge in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.john-etheridge.com/ https://softmachine.org/ John Etheridge is an English jazz fusion guitarist, composer, bandleader and educator known for his eclecticism and broad range of associations in jazz, classical, and contemporary music. He is best known for his work with Soft Machine from 1975 to 1978, 1984 and 2004 to present. In late 1972, Etheridge joined Curved Air violinist Darryl Way's band Wolf, which went on to record three albums in the progressive rock canon for the Deram label: Canis Lupus (1973), Saturation Point (1973), and Night Music (1974). It also provided an outlet for his first compositions, at a rate of one or two tracks per album. Following Wolf's break-up, Etheridge briefly played in the Global Village Trucking Company for a UK tour supporting Gong in early 1975, before a recommendation from fellow guitarist Allan Holdsworth led to him joining Soft Machine, now in full fusion mode having just released Bundles. Etheridge went on to record two albums with the band, Softs (1976) and Alive & Well: Recorded in Paris (1978). He also played on the more recent release, British Tour '75 (2005). With Soft Machine's activities slowing down in the late 1970s, Etheridge began to develop parallel ventures. It was at this time that he began what would become a long-term collaboration with French violinist Stéphane Grappelli, with whom he performed on numerous world tours between 1976 and 1981. The late 1970s also saw Etheridge form the band 2nd Vision,[1] with fellow Soft Machine member, violinist Ric Sanders. Though the band released an album in 1980, they struggled to achieve broader recognition in the hostile post-punk environment and broke up in 1981.

Episode 142 Chapter 04, Electronic Music Composition by Process. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings.   Playlist   Time Track Time* Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:31 00:00 Yves Klein, “Monotone-Silence Symphony” (1947). I could not find any recorded versions of this piece, so I produced this realization of my own to capture the feel and nature of this process work. Klein conceived this as performance art in which an orchestra would only play a single note, continuously, for 20 minutes followed by another 20 minutes of silence. I've examined the score and can see that Klein also intended that the same note could be played in different octaves. The playing would have been staged so that one group of musicians could overlap another, both for reasons of fatigue but also to allow smooth transitions for the wind instruments because players would need to take a breath. My version includes electronic instruments for multiple parts, each part playing the same note, often in different octaves. The introduction of instrumental groups was planned in stages, each overlapping the previous grouping, gradually shortening in duration as the piece goes on. 40:03 01:34 Steve Reich, “It's Gonna Rain” (1965). Process piece using tape loops and phasing. 08:03 41:38 La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, “31 VII 69 10:26 - 10:49 PM” (1969). Early work employing electronic drones. Eponymous untitled album popularly known as "The Black Record" or "The Black Album" Mine is an original copy. The cover is black gloss print on matt black and very hard to read. Numbered edition limited to 2800 copies of which numbers 1-98 are dated and signed by the artists. This work “was recorded at the date and time indicated in the title, at Galerie Heiner Friedrich, München. The work “31 VII 69 10:26-10:49 PM” is a section of the longer work: Map Of 49's Dream The Two Systems Of Eleven Sets Of Galactic Intervals Ornamental Lightyears Tracery. Play this side at 33 1/3 rpm only.” Early work employing electronic drones. By the mid-sixties, Young and his partner Marian Zazeela were creating music for electronic drones as an extension of their group, The Theatre of Eternal Music. Using a Heathkit sine wave oscillator and later Moog modules as sources, they created drone pieces that employed “extended duration time signatures” and “long sustained tones, intervals, triads and chords to create the musical texture.” A reissue has now occurred on the label Super Viaduct. 22:49 49:24 Terry Riley, “A Rainbow in Curved Air” (1969). Minimalist process work for electronic organ. 18:46 01:12:08 Steve Reich, “Four Organs” (1970). Process piece for four electronic organs. 24:11 01:31:04 Brian Eno, “Discreet Music” (1975). Process piece for synthesizers. 31:35 01:55:12 David Behrman, “Figure in a Clearing” (1977). Process piece using the KIM- 1 microcomputer 19:13 02:25:30 Laurie Spiegel, “A Harmonic Algorithm” (1980). Self-generating program running on an Apple II computer. 03:08 02:44:48 Alvin Lucier, “Music for Piano with One or More Snare Drums” (1990). Process piece for amplified piano and snare drum. 09:20 02:47:48 Marina Rosenfeld, “Two (Joy of Fear)” (2005). Process piece for a timed improvisational live performance. 10:22 02:56:50   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

Asia has announced The Heat of The Moment Tour, with a new lineup that includes original keyboardist Geoff Downes, drummer Virgil Donatti (UK, Southern Sons, Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth), guitarist John Mitchell (Frost, Lonely Robot) and bassist/vocalist Harry Whitley. Here we talk with John Mitchell and Harry Whitley about the new tour and how they got involved. The tour headlined by Asia, featuring Focus, Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash and Curved Air and MC'd by artist Roger Dean will commence on 3rd July 2024 and incorporate 21 dates across the USA and Canada.

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I'm your host Ray Shasho With their unique brand of progressive rock, Focus manifested themselves at the start of the '70s as the most successful and appreciated of all the Dutch pop-rock exports. Fronted by founding member Thijs Van Leer, and best known for their hits "Hocus Pocus", "House of The King" and "Sylvia", as well as critically acclaimed albums 'Moving Waves', 'Focus 3' and 'Hamburger Concerto'. Focus Announces their new studio album “FOCUS 12” available July 5th, 2024. Founded by Thijs van Leer, Focus has been at the forefront of the progressive music movement since 1969, yet they continue to deliver engaging, innovative and skillfully crafted music. “FOCUS 12” exemplifies this and proves why they are still a firm fan favorite, the world over. For Thijs van Leer (75) and Pierre van der Linden (78), age is nothing more than a number. Both continue to contribute to Focus with passion. Thijs, who has written most of the new album, rises at 4.30 am every day to work on his compositions. While the album boasts some of Pierre's greatest and most energetic drum sequences to date. “FOCUS 12” features a completely improvised piece which was captured as it spontaneously took place in the studio, during the recording process. Thus, proving that more than 50 years on, the band are still excited by undertaking something new and different. The band continues their long association with legendary artist Roger Dean whose stunning artwork graces the front cover and packaging. The vinyl version features a stunning gatefold sleeve. Focus continues to be one of the hardest working rock bands on the planet, touring the globe playing live. This July, they undertake a string of live dates across the USA and Canada, as part of Asia's Heat Of The Moment Tour along with Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash …and Curved Air … & MC'd by artist Roger Dean.

Born in 1952, in Virginia, Stewart Copeland - the son of a CIA agent - spent his formative years in the Middle East but attended college in California before settling in England in 1975. He joined the progressive rock outfit Curved Air, working first as their road manager then as their drummer. In early 77, he founded the Police with singer/bassist Sting and guitarist Henri Padovani (soon replaced by Andy Summers). Their first hit, 79's "Roxanne," set the course for huge success to follow. The trio emerged as one of the most popular and innovative bands of the post-punk era, drawing upon reggae, funk, and world music to create a uniquely infectious yet cerebral brand of pop which generated a series of smash singles including "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Every Breath You Take," and "King of Pain." While with the Police, Steward also issued a solo record under the alias Klark Kent. This not only earned him wide critical acclaim for his intricate, textured drum work, but also for his songwriting as he contributed many of the group's songs. When the Police officially disbanded in 1986, the band was still at their commercial peak. Disagreements betwenn members had caused the trio's collapse and Stewart took to composing film scores, earning himself a Golden Globe nomination. He increasingly spent more time on film scores. In 2002, Stewart formed a new rock-oriented project, Oysterhead - a power trio supergroup. A year later he produced and directed Everyone Stares, a documentary film about his time in the Police. In 2007, Stewart reunited with his former bandmates to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Stewart also wrote his memoir, Strange Things Happen: A Life with The Police, Polo, and Pygmies at this time. In 2021, Stewart collaborated on the instrumental 'Divine Tides'. The album won the 2022 Grammy Award for Best New Age Album, giving Copeland his first Grammy win outside of the five he earned as a member of the Police.  He also released 'Police Deranged for Orchestra' where he reworked Police hits for an orchestra. In 2023, he published Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries, a book based on his original diary entries from 1976-1979. This week Stewart Copeland joins us to regale us with his many stories.

Famed drummer for the Police and composer Stewart Copeland has one of the more fascinating bios in modern music. His father was a founding member of the CIA and his mom worked in British Intelligence. After playing in the successful UK prog rock band Curved Air in the mid 70s, Stewart started a new band called the Police with bassist and lead singer, Sting—and eventually guitarist Andy Summers. Over the next decade the Police would go on to become one of the top-selling rock bands of all time, selling over 75 million records. Last year Stewart released the book, “Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries,” which includes his personal notes dating back to the band's formation in 1976 through 1978, when they started to take off. On today's episode Bruce Headlam talks to Stewart Copeland about the first time he saw Sting play and how he was able to successfully lure him into his then non-existent band. Stewart also explains why he and Sting eventually had a musical falling out, and how the Arabic rhythms he heard growing up influenced his highly lauded drumming style.

On Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I've interviewed guests on exciting new technologies like artificial intelligence, fusion energy, and reusable rockets. But today's episode explores another Next Big Thing: biotechnology. To discuss recent advances in CRISPR gene editing and their applications for medicine, I'm sitting down with Kevin Davies.Kevin is executive editor of The CRISPR Journal and author of the excellent 2020 book, Editing Humanity: The CRISPR Revolution and the New Era of Genome Editing.In This Episode* CRISPR advances over the past decade (1:13)* What CRISPR therapies will come next? (8:46)* Non-medical applications of gene editing (13:11)* Bioweapons and the ethics of CRISPR (18:43)* Longevity and genetic enhancements (25:48)Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Below is an edited transcript of our conversationCRISPR advances over the past decadeWhen people talk about AI, for instance, they might be talking about different versions or applications of AI—machine learning being one. So when we talk about CRISPR, are we just talking about one technique, the one they figured out back in 2012? Are there different ones? Are there improvements? So it's really a different technique. So how has that progressed?You're right. CRISPR has become shorthand for genome editing. But the version of CRISPR that was recognized with the Nobel Prize three years ago in 2020 to Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier was for one, we can call it the traditional form of CRISPR. And if I refer to it again, I'll call it CRISPR-Cas9. Cas9 is the shorthand name for the enzyme that actually does the cutting of the DNA. But we are seeing extraordinary progress in developing new and even more precise and more nuanced forms of genome editing. They still kind of have a CRISPR backbone. They still utilize some of the same molecular components as the Nobel Prize–winning form of CRISPR. But in particular, I'm thinking of techniques called base editing and prime editing, both of which have commercial, publicly funded biotech companies pushing these technologies into the clinic. And I think over the next five to 10 years, increasingly what we refer to as “CRISPR genome editing” will be in the form of these sort of CRISPR 2.0 technologies, because they give us a much broader portfolio of DNA substitutions and changes and edits, and give the investigators and the clinicians much more precision and much more subtlety and hopefully even more safety and more guarantees of clinical efficiency.Right. That's what I was going to ask. One advantage is the precision, because you don't want to do it wrong. You don't want mutations. Do no harm first. A big advantage is maybe limiting some of the potential downsides.In the ideal gene-editing scenario, you would have a patient with, say, a genetic disease that you can pinpoint to a single letter of the genetic code. And we want to fix that. We want to zero in on that one letter—A, C, T, or G is the four-letter alphabet of DNA, as I hope most of your listeners know—and we want to revert that back to whatever most normal, healthy people have in their genetic code at that specific position. CRISPR-Cas9, which won the Nobel Prize, is not the technology to do that sort of single base edit. It can do many other things, and the success in the clinic is unquestionable already in just a few years. But base editing and, in particular, prime editing are the two furthest developed technologies that allow investigators to pinpoint exactly where in the genome we want to make the edit. And then without completely cutting or slicing the double helix of DNA, we can lay up the section of DNA that we want to replace and go in and just perform chemistry on that one specific letter of DNA. Now, this hasn't been proven in the clinic just yet. But the early signs are very, very promising that this is going to be the breakthrough genome-editing technology over the next 10 to 20 years.Is CRISPR in the wild yet, or are we still in the lab?No, we're in the clinic. We are in human patients. There are at least 200 patients who have already been in or are currently enrolled in clinical trials. And so far, the early results—there are a few caveats and exceptions—but so far the overwhelming mood of the field is one of bullish enthusiasm. I don't want to complete this interview without singling out this one particular story, which is the clinical trial that has been sponsored by CRISPR Therapeutics and Vertex Pharmaceuticals for sickle cell disease. These are primarily African-American patients in this country because the sickle cell mutation arose in Africa some 7,000 years ago.We're talking about a pretty big share of the African-American population.This is about 100,000 patients just in America, in the US alone. And it's been a neglected disease for all kinds of reasons, probably beyond the scope of our discussion. But the early results in the first few dozen patients who have been enrolled in this clinical trial called the exa-cel clinical trial, they've all been cured. Pretty much all cured, meaning no more blood transfusions, no more pain crises, no more emergency hospitalizations. It is a pretty miraculous story. This therapy is now in the hands of the FDA and is speeding towards—barring some unforeseen complication or the FDA setting the bar so high that they need the investigators to go back and do some further checks—this should be approved before the end of this year.There's a catch, though. This will be a therapy that, in principle, will become—once approved by the FDA and the EMA in Europe, of course—will become available to any sickle cell patient. The catch will, of course, be the cost or the price that the companies set, because they're going to look for a return on their investment. It's a fascinating discussion and there's no easy answer. The companies need to reward their shareholders, their investors, their employees, their staff, and of course build a war chest to invest in the next wave, the next generation of CRISPR therapies. But the result of that means that probably we're going to be looking at a price tag of, I mean, I'm seeing figures like $1.9 million per patient. So how do you balance that? Is a lifetime cure for sickle cell disease worth $2, maybe $3 million? Will this patient population be able to afford that? In many cases, the answer to that will be simply, no. Do you have to remortgage your house and go bankrupt because you had a genetic quirk at birth? I don't know quite how we get around this.Different countries will have different answers with different health systems. Do you have a sense of what that debate is going to be like in Washington, DC?It's already happening in other contexts. Other gene therapies have been approved over the last few years, and they come with eye-watering price tags. The highest therapy price that I've seen now is $3.5 million. Yes, there are discounts and waiver programs and all this sort of stuff. But it's still a little obscene. Now, when those companies come to negotiate, say, with the UK National Health Service, they'll probably come to an agreement that is much lower, because the Brits are not going to say that they're going to be able to afford that for their significant sickle cell population.Is it your best guess that this will be a treatment the government pays for?What's interesting and what may potentially shift the calculus here is that this particular therapy is the disease affects primarily African-Americans in the United States. That may change the political calculus, and it may indeed change the corporate calculus in the boardrooms of Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics, who may not want the backlash that they're going to get when they say, “Oh, by the way, guys, it's $2 million or you're out of luck.”There are companies that are studying using CRISPR to potentially correct the mutations that cause genetic forms of blindness, genetic forms of liver disease.What CRISPR therapies will come next?And after this CRISPR treatment for sickle cell disease is available, what therapies will come next?Probably a bunch of diseases that most people, unless they are unfortunate enough to have it in their family, won't have heard of. There are companies that are studying using CRISPR to potentially correct the mutations that cause genetic forms of blindness, genetic forms of liver disease. It turns out the liver is an organ that is very amenable to taking up medicines that we can inject in the blood. The other big clinical success story has come from another company in the Boston area called Intellia Therapeutics. Also publicly traded. They've developed CRISPR therapies that you can inject literally into the body, rather than taking cells out and doing it in the lab and then putting those cells back in, as in the case of sickle cell.I'm not sure that was actually even clear: that you can do it more than one way.Yes.And obviously it sounds like it would be better if they could just inject you.Exactly. That's why people are really excited about this, because this now opens up the doors for treating a host of diseases. And I think over the next few years we will see a growing number of diseases, and it won't just be these rare sort of genetic diseases with often unpronounceable names. It may be things like heart disease. There's another company—they're all in Boston, it seems—Verve Therapeutics, which is taking one of these more recent gene-editing technologies that we talked about a minute ago, base editing, and saying that there's a gene that they're going to target that has been clearly linked with cholesterol levels. And if we can squash production of this gene, we can tap down cholesterol levels. That will be useful, in the first instance, for patients with genetic forms of high cholesterol. Fair enough. But if it works in them, then the plan is to roll this out for potentially thousands if not millions of adults in this country who maybe don't feel that they have a clearly defined genetic form of high cholesterol, but this method may still be an alternative that they will consider versus taking Atorvastatin for the rest of your life, for example.Where are the CRISPR cancer treatments?They're also making progress, too. Those are in clinical trials. A little more complicated. Of course, cancer is a whole slew of different diseases, so it's a little hard to say, “Yeah, we're making progress here, less so there.” But I think one of the most heartwarming stories—this is an n of one, so it's an anecdotal story—but there was a teenager in the UK treated at one of the premier London medical schools who had a base editing form of CAR T therapy. A lot of people have heard of CAR T therapy for various cancers. And she is now in remission. So again, early days, but we're seeing very positive signs in these early clinical tests.It sounds like we went from a period where it was all in the lab and that we might be in a period over the next five years where it sounds like a wave of potential treatments.I think so, yeah.And for as much as we've seen articles about “The Age of AI,” it really sounds like this could be the age of biotechnology and the age of CRISPR…I think CRISPR, as with most new technologies, you get these sort of hype cycles, right? Two and a half years ago, CRISPR, all the stocks were at peak valuations. And I went on a podcast to say, why are the CRISPR stocks so high? I wasn't really sure, but I was enjoying it at the time. And then, of course, we entered the pandemic. And the biotech sector, perversely, ironically, has really been hit hard by the economy and certainly by the market valuations. So all of the CRISPR gene-editing companies—and there are probably at least eight or 10 now that are publicly traded and many more poised to join them—their valuations are a fraction of what they were a couple of years ago. But I suspect as these first FDA approvals and more scientific peer review papers, of course, but more news of the clinical success to back up and extend what has already been clearly proven as a breakthrough technology in the lab with the Nobel Prize—doesn't get much better than that, does it?—then I think we're going to start to see that biotech sector soar once again.Certainly, there are a lot of computational aspects to CRISPR in terms of designing the particular stretches of nucleic acid that you're going to use to target a specific gene. And AI can help you in that quest to make those ever more precise.Non-medical applications of gene editingThere are also non-medical applications. Can you just give me a little state of play on how that's looking?I think one of the—when CRISPR…And agriculture.Feeding the planet, you could say.That's certainly a big application.It's a human health application—arguably the biggest application.I think one of the fun ones is the work of George Church at Harvard Medical School, who's been on 60 Minutes and Stephen Colbert and many other primetime shows, talking about his work using CRISPR to potentially resurrect the woolly mammoth, which sort of sounds like, “That's Jurassic Park on steroids. That's crazy.” But his view is that, no, if we had herds—if that's the technical term—of woolly mammoths—roaming Siberia and the frozen tundra, they'll keep the ground, the surface packed down and stop the gigatons of methane from leaching out into the atmosphere. We have just seen a week, I've been reading on social media, of the hottest temperatures in the world since records began. And that's nothing compared to what we're potentially going to see if all these greenhouse gases that are just under the surface in places like Siberia further leach into the atmosphere. So that's the sort of environmental cause that Church is on. I think many people think this is a rather foolish notion, but he's launched a company to get this off the ground called Colossal Biosciences, and they're raising a lot of money, it appears. I'm curious to see how it goes. I wish him well.Also, speaking of climate change, making crops more resilient to the heat. That's another I've heard…One of the journals I'm involved in, called GEN Biotechnology, just published a paper in which investigators in Korea have used CRISPR to modify a particular gene in the tomato genome to make it a higher source of vitamin D. And that may not seem to be the most urgent need, but the point is, we can now engineer the DNA of all kinds of plants and crops, many of which are under threat, whether it's from drought or other types of climate change or pests, bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, you name it. And in my book Editing Humanity, which came out a couple of years ago, there was a whole chapter listing a whole variety of threats to our favorite glass of orange juice in the morning. That's not going to exist. If we want that all-natural Florida orange juice, we're not going to have that option. We've either got to embrace what technology will allow us to do to make these orange crops more resistant to the existential threat that they're facing, or we're going to have to go drink something else.I started out talking about AI and machine learning. Does that play a role in CRISPR, either helping the precision of the technology or in some way refining the technology?Yeah, hopefully you'll invite me back in a year and I'll be able to give you a more concrete answer. I think the short answer is, yes. Certainly, there are a lot of computational aspects to CRISPR in terms of designing the particular stretches of nucleic acid that you're going to use to target a specific gene. And AI can help you in that quest to make those ever more precise. When you do the targeting in a CRISPR experiment, the one thing you don't want to have happen is for the little stretch of DNA that you've synthesized to go after the gene in question, you don't want that to accidentally latch onto or identify another stretch of DNA that just by statistical chance has the same stretch of 20 As, Cs, Ts, and Gs. AI can help give us more confidence that we're only honing in on the specific gene that we want to edit, and we're not potentially going to see some unforeseen, off-target editing event.Do you think when we look back at this technology in 10 years, not only will we see a wider portfolio of potential treatments, but we'll look at the actual technique and think, “Boy, back in 2012, it was a butchery compared to what we're doing; we were using meat cleavers, and now we're using lasers”?I think, yeah. That's a slightly harsh analogy. With this original form of CRISPR, published in 2012, Nobel Prize in 2020, one of the potential caveats or downsides of the technology is that it involves a complete snip of the double helix, the two strands of DNA, in order to make the edit. Base editing and prime editing don't involve that double-stranded severance. It's just a nick of one strand or the other. So it's a much more genetically friendly form of gene editing, as well as other aspects of the chemistry. We look forward to seeing how base and prime editing perform in the clinic. Maybe they'll run into some unforeseen hurdles and people will say, “You know what? There was nothing wrong with CRISPR. Let's keep using the originally developed system.” But I'm pretty bullish on what base and prime editing can do based on all of the early results have been published in the last few years on mice and monkeys. And now we're on the brink of going into the clinic.One medical scenario that they laid out would be, what if two people with a deadly recessive disease like sickle cell disease, or perhaps a form of cystic fibrosis, wanted to have a healthy biological child?Bioweapons and the ethics of CRISPRThis podcast is usually very optimistic. So we're going to leave all the negative stuff for this part of the podcast. We're going to rush through all the downsides very quickly.First question: Especially after the pandemic, a lot more conversation about bioweapons. Is this an issue that's discussed in this community, about using this technology to create a particularly lethal or virulent or targeted biological weapon?Not much. If a rogue actor or nation wanted to develop some sort of incredibly virulent bioweapon, there's a whole wealth of genetic techniques, and they could probably do it without involving CRISPR. CRISPR is, in a way, sort of the corollary of another field called synthetic biology or synthetic genomics that you may have talked about on your show. We've got now the facility, not just to edit DNA, but to synthesize custom bits of DNA with so much ease and affordability compared to five or 10 years ago. And we've just seen a global pandemic. When I get that question, I've had it before, I say, “Yeah, did we just not live through a global pandemic? Do we really need to be engineering organisms?” Whether you buy the lab leak hypothesis or the bioengineering hypothesis, or it was just a natural transfer from some other organism, nature can do a pretty good job of hurting human beings. I don't know that we need to really worry too much about bioweapons at this point.In 2018, there was a big controversy over a Chinese researcher who created some genome-edited babies. Yeah. Is there more to know about that story? Has that become a hotter topic of discussion as CRISPR has advanced?The Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, who performed those pretty abominable experiments was jailed for the better part of three years. He got early release in China and slowly but surely he's being rehabilitated. He's literally now moved his operation from Shenzhen to Beijing. He's got his own lab again, and he's doing genome editing experiments again. I saw again on social media recently, he's got a petition of muscular dystrophy families petitioning Jack Ma, the well-known Chinese billionaire, to fund his operation to devise a new gene editing therapy for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other forms of muscular dystrophy. I wouldn't want He Jiankui let within a thousand miles of my kids, because I just wouldn't trust him. And he's now more recently put out a manifesto stating he thinks we should start editing embryos again. So I don't know quite what is going on.It seems the Chinese threw the book at him. Three years is not a trivial prison sentence. He was fined about half a million dollars. But somebody in the government there seems to be okay with him back at the bench, back in the lab, and dabbling in CRISPR. And I don't know that he's been asked, does he have any regrets over the editing of Lulu and Nana. There was a third child born a few months later as well. All he will say is, “We moved too fast.” That is the only caveat that he has allowed himself to express publicly.We know nothing more about the children. They're close to five years old now. There's one particular gene that was being edited was pretty messed up. But we know it's not an essential gene in our bodies, because there are many people walking around who don't have a functional copy of this CCR5 receptor gene, and they're HIV resistant. That was the premise for He Jiankui's experiment. But he has said, “No, they are off limits. The authorities are not going to reveal their identities. We are monitoring them, and we will take care of them if anything goes wrong.” But I think a lot of people in the West would really like to help, to study them, to offer any medical assistance. Obviously, we have to respect their privacy. The twin girls and the third child who was born a bit later, maybe they're being protected for their own good. How would you like it if you grew up through childhood and into your teenage years, to walk around knowing that you were this human experiment? That may be a very difficult thing to live with. So more to come on that.There's no legitimate discussion about changing that in the West or anywhere else?Obviously, in the wake of what He Jiankui did, there were numerous blue ribbon panels, including one just organized by the National Academy of Sciences, just a stone's throw from where we're talking today. And I thought that report was very good. It did two things. This was published a couple of years ago. Two important things came out of it. One is this all-star group of geneticists and other scientists said, “We don't think that human embryo editing should be banned completely. There may be scenarios down the road where we actually would want to reserve this technology because nothing else would help bring about a particular medical outcome that we would like.” And the one medical scenario that they laid out would be, what if two people with a deadly recessive disease like sickle cell disease, or perhaps a form of cystic fibrosis, wanted to have a healthy biological child?There are clinics around the country and around the world now doing something called pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. If you have a family history of a genetic disease, you can encourage the couple to do IVF. We form an embryo or bunch of embryos in the test tube or on the Petri dish. And then we can do a little biopsy of each embryo, take a quick sneak peek at the DNA, look to see if it's got the bad gene or perhaps the healthy gene, and then sort of tag the embryos and only implant the embryos that we think are healthy. This is happening around the country as we speak for hundreds, if not thousands, of different genetic diseases. But it won't work if mom and dad have a recessive, meaning two copies of a bad gene, because there's no healthy gene that you can select in any of those embryos. It would be very rare, but in those scenarios, maybe embryo editing is a way we would want to go. But I don't see a big clamor for this right now. And the early results have been published using CRISPR on embryos in the wake of He Jiankui did have said, “It's a messy technique. It is not safe to use. We don't fully understand how DNA editing and DNA repair works in the human embryo, so we really need to do a whole lot more basic science, as we did in the original incarnation of CRISPR, before we even dare to revisit editing human embryos.” Longevity is interesting because, of course, in the last 18 months there's a company in Silicon Valley called Altos, funded by Yuri Milner, employing now two dozen of the top aging researchers who've been lured away from academia into this transnational company to find hopefully cures or insights into how to postpone aging. Longevity and genetic enhancementsAnother area is using these treatments not to fix things, but to enhance people, whether it's for intelligence or some other trait. A lot of money pouring into longevity treatments from Silicon Valley. Do we know more about the potential of CRISPR for either extending lifespans or selecting for certain desirable traits in people?This sort of scenario is never going to go away. When it comes up, if I hear someone say, “Could we use CRISPR or any gene editing technology to boost intelligence or mathematical ability or music musical ability, or anything that we might want…”Or speed in the hundred meters.“…or speed in the hundred meters, to enhance our perfect newborn?” I would say, what gene are you going to enhance? Intelligence—are you kidding me? Half of the 10,000 genes are expressed in the human brain. You want to start meddling with those? You wouldn't have a prayer of having a positive outcome. I think we can pretty much rule that out. Longevity is interesting because, of course, in the last 18 months there's a company in Silicon Valley called Altos, funded by Yuri Milner, employing now two dozen of the top aging researchers who've been lured away from academia into this transnational company to find hopefully cures or insights into how to postpone aging. That's going to be a long, multi-decade quest to go from that to potentially, “Oh, let's edit a little embryo, our newborn son or daughter so they have the gift of 120 years on this decaying, overheating planet…” Yes, there's a lot to wade through on that.And you have another book coming out. Can you give us a preview of that?I'm writing a book called Curved Air, which is about the story of sickle cell disease. It was first described in a paper from physicians in Chicago in 1910 who were studying the curious anemia of a dental student who walked into their hospital one day. That gentleman, Walter Noel, is now buried back in his homeland, the island of Grenada. But in the 1940s, it was described and characterized as the first molecular disease. We know more about sickle cell disease than almost any other genetic disease. And yet, as we touched on earlier, patients with this who have not had the wealth, the money, the influence, they've been discriminated against in many walks of life, including the medical arena.We're still seeing terribly, tragically, videos and stories and reports of sickle cell patients who are being turned away from hospital rooms, emergency rooms, because the medical establishment just looks at a person of color in absolute agony with one of these pain crises and just assumed, “Oh, they want another opioid hit. Sickle cell? What is that?” There's a lot of fascinating science. There's all this hope in the gene editing and now in the clinic. And there's all this socioeconomic and other history. So I'm going to try to weave all this together in a format that hopefully everyone will enjoy reading.Hopefully a book with a happy ending. Not every book about a disease has a wonderful…I think a positive note to end on is the first American patient treated in this CRISPR clinical trial for sickle cell disease four years ago,Victoria Gray, has become something of a poster child now. She's been featured on National Public Radio on awhole series of interviews and just took her first overseas flight earlier this year to London to speak at a CRISPR gene editing conference. She gave a lovely 15-minute personal talk, shaking with nerves, about her personal voyage, her faith in God, and what's brought her here now, pain-free, traveling the world, and got a standing ovation. You don't see many standing ovations at medical conferences or genetics conferences. And if ever anybody deserved it, somebody like Victoria Gray did. Early days, but a very positive journey that we're on. This is a public episode.

On Slow Fawn, Sam Cohen, a producer, songwriter, and musician known for his work with Apollo Sunshine, Yellowbirds, Kevin Morby, Danger Mouse and Karen O, creates a glowing, meditative space. Inspired by Terry Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air and drawing from long jam sessions with his collaborators, it reflects Sam's desire to "create a world without friction, where you could float and feel joy." Combining dashes of jazz, synthesized new age, pop, and minimalist grace and it's a record we've returned to many times over the last few months. Cohen joins host Jason P. Woodbury from his studio in upstate New York to discuss music's power to connect us to each other, his motivation for creating music, and opening up his own studio.

Hello once again everyone I'm your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends. Thirty years on, old mates Steve Hogarth and Darryl Way, have collaborated on the single “Morpheus”, released on August 25th. The track is taken from Darryl's forthcoming album “The Rock Artist's Progress”; a unique concept and project created by legendary violinist Darryl Way that consists of an album and novel that are intrinsically linked together and sold as a bundle. The novel will also include musical illustrations created by Darryl, that can be clicked on and listened to, whilst reading. Both album and novel are due for release on September 23rd, on Spirit of Unicorn Music, Cherry Red Records, iTunes and Amazon. The novel, written by Charles Shorwell, is set against the backdrop of the musical revolution that started with the Beatles and begins in 1968, a year after ‘The Summer of Love' and follows the story of Daniel Luckham, a young classical pianist studying at the Royal College of Music. Seduced by the rock music scene and vibrant counterculture in London at that time, he contrives to leave college and pursue a career in ‘Rock'. But some bad decisions lead him down a dark and dangerous alley, populated by drug dealers, unscrupulous managers, and femme fatales. On his journey to fulfil his dreams, Daniel finds his integrity challenged, and the innocence of youth cruelly stripped away.

“Who's Next” von The Who aus dem Jahr 1971 ist das beste auf einem Konzept basierende Nicht-Konzeptalbum das The Who jemals gemacht haben – das sagt zumindest Gitarrist und Songwriter Pete Townshend. Und für viele Fans gilt “Who's Next” als das beste Album der Band überhaupt. Nach dem großen Erfolg ihrer Rockoper “Tommy” sollte eine zweite Rockoper her. Pete Townshend entwickelte das Konzept “Lifehouse”. Die Story und das Konzept waren jedoch zu kompliziert, die Songs selbst für sich genommen hingegen zu stark um sie nicht zu veröffentlichen. So entstand ein Album das Musikgeschichte schreiben sollte: “Who's Next“. Dass “Who's Next” dann doch kein Konzeptalbum geworden ist fand vor allem Mastermind Pete Townshend doof, der nach “Tommy” unbedingt eine neue Rock-Oper schreiben wollte. Der Rest der Band war von dieser Idee nicht so begeistert, was Townshend schlussendlich in einen Nervenzusammenbruch getrieben hat. Aber Glück im Unglück: Teile des Songmaterials für dieses als "Lifehouse“ betitelte Nachfolgeprojekt von “Tommy” sind dann auf "Who's Next“ gelandet. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album “Who's Next” wird im Podcast gesprochen: 02:03 Mins – “Baba O'Riley” 12:05 Mins – “Love Ain't For Keeping” 17:34 Mins – “My Wife” 20:38 Mins – “Behind Blue Eyes” 31:17 Mins – “Won't Get Fooled Again” __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen: 06:54 Mins – “A Rainbow in Curved Air” von Terry Riley 11:15 Mins – “Pure And Easy” von The Who  14:10 Mins – “Love Ain't For Keeping” von The Who 29:48 Mins – “Behind Blue Eyes” von The Chieftains und Roger Daltrey __________ Links zum Podcast: “Won't Get Fooled Again” (Live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDfAdHBtK_Q __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

JOHN EDWARDS, Drummer and many other things John Edwards is a 57-year old larger than life bloke from a rather oddly-named village just outside Maidstone in Kent. His true love has always been music and but for the fact that life got in the way, John would be living the life of a rock star drummer. As the youngest in a family of 8, John was brought up on a diet of Coronation Street, Wrestling, Mike Yarwood, Reggie Perrin, Derek and Clive, Monty Python and fried egg sarnies. Musically, as a kid, John was introduced to an eclectic mix of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Curved Air, Mantovani, James Last, Frank Sinatra, Rick Wakeman, Abba and The Carpenters. More importantly, it was in the days of glam rock that John found himself becoming obsessed with loud music and messing about on his brother's the drum kit. His school days in Maidstone introduced him to fellow music lovers David Bloomfield and Stuart Ellis. Both of them would go onto become lifetime friends and play in bands together. John played drums in the covers band Mavis Cruett, the non-sensical but funny and punky Andy Pandys and then in the more serious bands The Strookas, who supported Green Day and now Tonota 80. John is a singing drummer, not so much Phil Collins but more like Grant Hart from Minneapolis alternative US band Husker Du.   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engineerrecords.com%2Ftonota-80%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2m38cmK2K0y8zuB-0aefqExc4vOF57uu_gt6uFncx4KjN9dkqjlOIa0sw&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthestrookas.bandcamp.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2RVYmDNyzehKj0OgHxia77AExws2x3Vb9ui4qnk59syQ95rPadqFU09pM&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftonota80.bandcamp.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1aLGwCfsM1QpPCA6gaIS9J1zBCkgSs44bNwhosPeW_Ma4_iRzcz-1q7lk&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk   For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com   Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music  

Curved Air with Sonja Kristina in conversation with David Eastaugh Curved Air are an English progressive rock group formed in 1970 by musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds, including classical, folk, and electronic sound. The resulting sound of the band is a mixture of progressive rock, folk rock, and fusion with classical elements. Curved Air released eight studio albums, the first three of which broke into the UK Top 20, and had a hit single with "Back Street Luv" (1971) which reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

“The Police: Deranged For Orchestra” Born in Virginia and raised in Cairo and Beirut by a Scottish archoeolist mother and an American father who founded the CIA, Stewart Copeland has had quite a life. So much so, that his biography deserves its own podcast but for the sake of time, let's go with the expurgated version. Copeland started playing drums at 12 and after finishing boarding school in England and college at UC Berkeley, he returned to the UK to play drums for Curved Air. In 1977 he founded The Police with Sting and after recruiting guitarist Andy Summers to replace Henry Padovani, the new wave power trio locked in and the rest, as they say, is history. But in the case of the Police, let's go with history to the 10th power. The Police are one of the best selling bands of all time, with record sales heading close to 100 million worldwide. They put out five albums from 1978 to 1983 and by the time their last one hit shelves, they were arguably the biggest band in the world. Their legacy is safely enshrined in the rock and roll hall of fame and Copeland is considered one of the greatest drummers to ever sit behind the kit, but his legacy doesn't stop there. He's scored movies like Rumble Fish, Wall Street, and Talk Radio; TV shows like The Equalizer, Dead Like Me and Star Wars: Droids. He's also scored ballets that were commissioned by everyone from the San Francisco Ballet Company to the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. He's collaborated with Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel, Les Claypool and Adam Ant; he played in other bands like Animal Logic and Oysterhead with Trey Anastasio of Phish. He's scored video games, done voices for movies like South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, he put out his memoir Strange Things Happen: A Life with the Police, Polo and Pygmies and he collaborated with the Long Beach Opera on a production of Edgar Allen Poe's The Telltale Heart. Well, the always busy Copeland's new project is called The Police: Deranged for Orchestra. It's basically a fresh take on The Police songbook, by way of the 28 member ReCollecitve Orchestra. They reimagine songs like Roxanne and Don't Stand So Close To Me and the results are captivating and spellbinding. In this conversation, Copeland talks to Alex about rock and roll bands as democracies, the elasticity of the Police's compositions and why he speeds things up when Sting is in the audience. www.stewartcopeland.net www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com Stereo Embers: Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

"Two Steps Forward, One Step Back" tells the extraordinary story of a maverick manager, promoter, label owner, and all-round legend of the music industry. It opens in the Middle East, where Miles grew up with his father, a CIA agent who was stationed in Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon. It then shifts to London in the late 60s and the beginnings of a career managing bands like Wishbone Ash and Curved Air—only for Miles's life and work to be turned upside down by a disastrous European tour.From the ashes of near bankruptcy, Miles entered the world of punk, sharing a building with Malcolm McLaren and Sniffin' Glue, before shifting gears again as manager of The Police, featuring his brother, Stewart, on drums. Then, after founding IRS Records, he launched the careers of some of the most potent musical acts of the new wave scene and beyond, from Squeeze and The Go-Go's to The Bangles and R.E.M.The story comes full circle as Miles finds himself advising the Pentagon on how to win over hearts and minds in the Middle East and introducing Arabic music to the United States. ‘Never let the truth get in the way of a good story,' his father would tell him. In the end, though, the truth is what counts—and it's all here.Purchase a copy through Jawbone Press: http://jawbonepress.com/two-steps-forward-one-step-backVisit Miles Copeland's website: http://milescopeland.comMusic from the artists discussed in this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QxBKKhZnwYL6CIq3G1bhC?si=7c9a1e75f9c04826The Booked On Rock Website: https://www.bookedonrock.comFollow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonrockpodcastTWITTER: https://twitter.com/bookedonrockContact The Booked On Rock Podcast:thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.comSupport Your Local Bookstore!

JETHRO TULL 1967/1982 (12) 1978 Nos situamos en marzo de 1978 cuando sale a la venta su nuevo álbum, número catorce en la historia del grupo (onceavo de estudio), que lleva por título Heavy Horses (Caballos de tiro), y ya el mismo título nos da una idea de la temática del mismo. La casi totalidad de los temas son de corte acústico y folklórico, de un lirismo tremendamente bello. En este álbum cabe destacar la gran colaboración del violinista que tocaba con la banda Curved Air. Me estoy refiriendo a Darryl Way, que ejecuta un maravilloso trabajo con su instrumento en el tema que da título al álbum.

Episode 49   Computer Music Murmurs in the UK: Peter Zinovieff and EMS   Playlist Peter Zinovieff, “Agnus Dei (Excerpt)” from Electronic Calendar - The EMS Tapes (2015 Space Age Recordings). Early sound sampling, circa 1968. Note the briefness of the digital samples of the voice. 5:33 Peter Zinovieff, “January Tensions” from Cybernetic Serendipity Music (1968 ICA). Zinovieff's notes, from the album: “Computer composed and performed. This piece is very much for computer both in its realization and composition. The rules are straightforward. The computer may begin by improvising slowly on whatever material is firs chooses. However, once the initial choices are made then these must influence the whole of the rest of the composition. The original sounds must occasionally be remembered and illustrated but a more and more rigid structure is imposed on the randomness. The piece was electronically realized and composed in real time by an 8K PDP8/S and electronic music peripherals.” 9:48 Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Zinovieff, “Chronometer” (1975 Argo). "Chronometer", for electronic tape, was composed in 1971, and realized by Peter Zinovieff at EMS Putney. From the liner notes: “Chronometer is entirely made up from the sounds of clock mechanisms which have been computer-analyzed and regenerated onto 8 tracks (reduced in this recording to two.)” Air and contact microphones were used to collect sounds from widely different sources, Big Ben being a primary one. The program used to reinterpret the graphic and numerical music score was MUSYS by EMS. 24:19 Audio Past Present & Future - Presented with Audio Magazine (1972, IPC Magazines flexi-disc). A flexi-disc narrated by Richard Baker that was produced in EMS studios and includes a snipper of “A Lollipop for Papa” by Peter Zinovieff, various synthesized instrumental examples, and an excerpt of “Ultra-Vivaldi” by Francis Monkman of Curved Air. 6:48 Curved Air, “Ultra-Vivaldi” from Phantasmagoria (1972 Warner Brothers). Francis Monkman playing the EMS Synthi 100. Recorded at EMS studios. 1:31 Curved Air, “Whose Shoulder Are You Looking Over Anyway” from Phantasmagoria (1972 Warner Brothers). Francis Monkman playing the EMS Synthi 100. Recorded at EMS studios. This track consists of tapes of Sonja's voice analyzed and processed by a PDP8/L computer and a Synthi 100 synthesizer. The final tapes were edited and prepared for performance by Francis Monkman and Robert Carvell. This is a good example of sound sampling that is more advanced than heard on the earlier track, “Agnus Dei.” 3:31 Peter Zinovieff, “A Lollipop For Papa” from Electronic Calendar - The EMS Tapes (2015 Space Age Recordings). From 1974. 6:26 Peter Zinovieff, “Raasay Digitised” from Electronic Calendar - The EMS Tapes (2015 Space Age Recordings). Even more voice sampling, blended deftly with electronic sounds. Circa 1975. 2:20 Peter Zinovieff, “Now's The Time To Say Goodbye” from Electronic Calendar - The EMS Tapes (2015 Space Age Recordings). . Circa 1975. 4:11 Background music: Peter Zinovieff and Alan Sutcliffe, “ZASP Parts 1 To 3” from Electronic Calendar - The EMS Tapes (2015 Space Age Recordings). A more sophisticated example of early music programming by Alan Sutcliffe using a Dutch computer, the ICL 1905 made by International Computers Limited (ICL). 5:11   Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. For additional notes, please see my blog Noise and Notations.

Matt speaks to the artist Dina Kelberman about her 2019 film ‘The Goal is to Live'. The feature length film is made entirely of clips from the Canadian TV series ‘How It's Made', and we discuss the process of making the film, including the soundtrack made by musicians Rod Hamilton & Tiffany Seal. We also geek out about ‘How It's Made' more generally, and talk about its relationship to the capitalist production processes it purports to explain.Dina's website with a trailer for the film - http://dinakelberman.com/#thegoalistoliveManufactured Landscapes by Jennifer Baichwal -https://www.edwardburtynsky.com/projects/films/manufactured-landscapesRod Hamilton & Tiffany Seal - https://soundcloud.com/rod_and_tiffanyTerry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy3W-3HPMWgWorkers Leaving the Factory (1995) - Harun Farocki - https://vimeo.com/59338090Images of the World and the Inscription of War, Harun Farocki - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjOl8TY8GkUWorkers Leaving the Googleplex by Andrew Norman Wilson - http://www.andrewnormanwilson.com/WorkersGoogleplex.html

Though the Police formed in 1977, a large majority of their influence on rock n’ roll and music in general was capitalized in the 80s with their progressive rock and new wave sound, punctuated by lead singer Sting’s vocals. Let’s take a deep dive into more of what made the Police a runaway success: The band began as a punk outfit until Andy Summers joined closer to the 80s. The band honed their sound a bit more to be complex progressive rock Believe it or not, most of their songs were written separately, with each member bringing in demos to the studio. As it turned out, the songs written mostly by Sting seemed to be the hitmakers. Summers and Copeland didn't have a problem with this at first because working up the songs was still a team effort. Toward the end though, they felt that Sting was dismissive of their contributions, insisting on doing everything his way The band started making videos right away, starting with some tracks from their first album, Outlandos d'Amour, in 1978. Their earliest videos were mostly performance footage or shots of the band in exotic locations just hanging out in interesting locations, but as they got more successful, their video budgets grew and they became more conceptual. When MTV went on the air in 1981, the network played many of these videos since many bands hadn’t yet adopted the music video craze. As it turned out, The Police had more rotations of videos on MTV than anyone else, except for the runaway hits from Michael Jackson in the 80s Their manager, Miles Copeland chose their first three album titles: "Outlandos d'Amour" is French for "Outlaws of Love"; "Reggatta de Blanc" is "White Reggae"; and "Zenyatta Mondatta" is just fun to say For their next two albums, Sting imposed his will and came up with highbrow concept titles based on psychology: Ghost in the Machine, titled after an Arthur Koestler book; and Synchronicity, after Carl Jung's book "Ambition is stronger than friendship," Sting told Phil Sutcliffe, the journalist who introduced him to Police drummer Stewart Copeland in 1976. Sting was in a group called Last Exit; Copeland was part of a progressive rock outfit called Curved Air. "As long as the group is useful for my career I'll stay," said Sting. "When it isn't I'll drop it like a stone." The group began to crumble in 1984 when they took time off following their tour for Synchronicity. They returned in 1986 to play three Amnesty International benefit concerts but plans for an album were scrapped. The next time they worked together was 2007, when they reunited for a successful, but contentious tour that lasted over a year

What happens when a composer writes music without pen and paper, using machines? How does that change the creative process? How does it morph the art itself?  Today on Meet the Composer, our producer Alex Overington — usually behind the studio glass — takes us on a road trip to unravel the creative process of those composers who write without a score. We meet the synthesists, the samplers, the electronic musicians, and dive deep into the tools they’ve adopted to define their craft.  Join us as we uncover what it means to be a composer who sculpts directly with sound, through conversations with such artists as Matmos, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Tyondai Braxton, Laurie Anderson, Morton Subotnick and more.   Heard a piece of music you loved?
