Prieš Rusijos pradėtą plataus masto invaziją Timuras gyveno Kyjive ir kūrė eksperimentinę elektroninę muziką, prisistatydamas sceniniu slapyvardžiu John Object. Jis išmoko gyventi atviromis ausimis, nuolat ieškodamas įdomių garsų, kuriuos galėtų panaudoti muzikoje. Trečią invazijos dieną Timuras prisijungė prie Ukrainos kariuomenės.Tapęs kariu, jis irgi randa progų įsiklausyti į jį supančią aplinką: šautuvo šūvis jam skamba kaip staccato, oro pavojaus sirenos kaukia disonansu, pianinu kariuomenės poilsio salėje skambina muzikantas. Bet karas tęsiasi ir jo santykis su akustine aplinka pasikeis.Britų prodiuserė Cicely Fell pristato ukrainiečių muzikanto ir kario Timuro Džafarovo garso dienoraštį iš karo fronto.2025 m. britų transliuotojui BBC dokumentiką prodiusavo „Falling Tree Productions“.Garso įrašų ir muzikos autorius Timuras Džafarovas, žinomas sceniniu slapyvardžiu John Object.Iš anglų kalbos vertė Rūta Dambravaitė, redagavo Vaidotas Montrimas ir Vaida Pilibaitytė.Vertimą įgarsino Aurelijus Pocius ir Giedrius Arbačiauskas.

For our next step in the journey into the audio art of Axel Kacoutié, a dreamlike exploration of depression in the underground.  Inspired partly by a bruised looking cloud at sunset, we follow Axel on a subway ride where he rediscovers a lesser known truth about hope.  In response to Emily Dickinson's poem 'Hope is the thing with feathers', this work was originally produced for BBC's Between the Ears, from Falling Tree Productions. Edited by the great Eleanor McDowall.

Lakesia Collins es una CNA decidida a cambiar la narrativa. Trabajando en múltiples trabajos de cuidadora mientras criaba niños, tuvo que declararse en bancarrota porque su hogar de ancianos pagaba salarios de pobreza. Convirtiéndose en organizadora de la unión la empoderó para correr como representante estatal del noveno distrito de Illinois. Su plan no es solo conseguir que se aprueben los proyectos de ley, sino organizar su distrito alrededor de los problemas que ella comprende de primera mano: vivienda, levantar la prohibición del control de alquileres y vigilancia excesiva. En este episodio, Esperanza en la práctica, ella explica cómo estos problemas se entrecruzan con cómo COVID-19 está afectando de manera desproporcionada a la clase trabajadora y a las personas de color, y por qué organizarse es la respuesta. ARIEL MEJIA (ella) es nativa de Chicago que llegó al arte de audio y la producción de radio a través de la práctica feminista, la organización comunitaria y la educación en salud sexual. Su trabajo ha aparecido en el programa de la BBC Shortcuts de Falling Tree Productions, así como en Antibody, una serie de podcasts de The Dig de la revista Jacobin. Ariel también enseña narraciones en audio a adolescentes y aspira a convertirse en una experta bailarina de tap. Ella está más inspirada por la magia de la conexión humana, las posibilidades de transformación y el cambio de estaciones por sus sonidos y colores.

Lakesia Collins is a CNA determined to change the narrative. Working multiple caregiving jobs while raising kids, she had to file bankruptcy because her nursing home paid her poverty wages. Becoming a union organizer empowered her to run for state representative of Illinois’ 9th District. Her plan is not just to get bills passed but to organize her district around the issues that she understands firsthand - housing, lifting the ban on rent control and over-policing. In this episode, she explains how these issues intersect with how COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting the working class and people of color, and why organizing is the answer.Reporter ARIEL MEJIA (she/her) is a Chicago native who came to audio art and radio production by way of feminist praxis, community organizing and sexual health education. Her work has been featured on the BBC show Shortcuts from Falling Tree Productions, as well as Antibody, a podcast series from Jacobin Magazine’s The Dig. Ariel also teaches audio storytelling to teens and aspires to become a skilled tap dancer. She is most inspired by the magic of human connection, possibilities for transformation, and the changing of the seasons because of their sounds and colors.

This week: an amazing piece of trans experimental audio, plus a big announcement during the end credits. ************** Slow-Burn Seeking, is a short work of audio fiction inspired by text from dozens of 80's & 90's era personal ads drawn from an archive of the On Our Backs women's erotica magazine. Using only remixed text from these ads and from their own contemporary dating profile, Ariana Martinez composed this heart-to-heart conversation between a lovesick queer, nonbinary person still finding their footing and a benevolent queer ghost (voiced by Casey Orozco-Poore). This re-imagined conversation makes space for more expansive readings of gender than were present in the original archival material and lays bare some of the questions and anxieties that come with seeking love and physical intimacy as a nonbinary person. This work originally aired on March 17, 2020 on BBC Radio 4’s Short Cuts with support from Falling Tree Productions. **************** The Transcripts podcast is a project of the Tretter Transgender Oral History Project at the University of Minnesota Libraries. We're funded by the TAWANI Foundation

In group homes for developmentally disabled adults, the contraction of COVID-19 happens faster, and deadlier than any other population. Not only are these numbers under-researched, but also underreported. In this episode, one home care giver uses her investigative instincts to keep residents in a group home in the southwest suburbs of Chicago healthy, safe and alive - against the odds.Reporter Ariel Mejia (she/her) is a Chicago native who came to audio art and radio production by way of feminist praxis, community organizing and sexual health education.

It was the height of WWII when T. S. Eliot published his masterpiece, The Four Quartets (1943). England was locked in a bitter fight with the Nazis. Yet in poems like "Burnt Norton" and "Little Gidding," Eliot pays tribute to that most German composer, Beethoven. Why would he do this? This special episode features an audio essay/documentary narrated by Aakanksha Virkar Yates (University of Brighton), as well as noted Eliot scholars Sir Christopher Ricks (Boston University), John Xiros Cooper (Prof Emeritus, University of British Columbia), and Frances Dickey (University of Missouri). Special thanks to Alan Hall at Falling Tree Productions, London, which produced this documentary. Thanks to Rachel Shelley for readings of Eliot's prose/poetry. Included are archival recordings of Beethoven by the Lener Quartet. This documentary was made possible through the University of Brighton Rising Stars award. Thanks to Blue Dot Sessions for additional music. For more information about Assay: The

This hour, we trot across middle America, with a story from a Nashville neighbourhood, and a Missouri payphone that won’t stop ringing.The Great Divide By Meribah Knight for The Promise from Nashville Public Radio (2018) Big Man, a public housing resident from Nashville’s Cayce Homes, walks across the street to meet the wealthy couple who live in the fancy new home on the hill. In many ways, their lives couldn’t be more different, but in breaking the silence between the two sides of the gentrifying neighborhood, a friendship begins to form — only to be dashed in a way no one could have expected. [Note: this is the 4th episode of the series]Putting Columbia’s Pay Phone Mystery to Rest By Emerald O’Brien for KBIA in Columbia Missouri (2016) Payphones went from being a staple of many people’s daily lives to nearly completely antiquated in a matter of decades. This is true in Columbia, too – with only a couple dozen phones still standing. But KBIA's Emerald O'Brien looked into why one downtown payphone has an unusual amount of activity, but only in the middle of the night. And answering this question led her down an unexpected path.Unsent By Laura Barton for Short Cuts from Falling Tree Productions and BBC Radio 4 (2017) A box full of postcards, stamped and unsent, may seem insignificant, but as Laura Barton explains, those cards can capture a time and place long forgotten.This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.

And we're not just talking about people who stop working after a lifetime in a career — the girl at the heart of this documentary is 17. She retired from a promising rhythmic gymnastics career — she was competing at a national level and was Olympics-bound — about a year ago because of an injury. And retirement? She still hasn't accepted it.“Inside the National Recording Registry: I Will Survive” by Devon Strolovitch for PRI’s Studio360 Originally released as a B-side, so many deejays began playing Gloria Gaynor's “I Will Survive” that the record company reissued it as a single. It was immediately embraced as an emblem of women’s empowerment and soon became anthem among the LGBT community and survivors of all kinds. Music writer Vince Aletti joins Gaynor herself to tell the story of the recording.This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This hour, a teenage taxidermist, a community of medical migrants who settled in Snowflake, Arizona, and, a day in the life of a sacred cow.A Cow A Day by Pejk Malinovski for Falling Tree Productions and Between the Ears from BBC Radio 3 At sunrise, on the banks of the Ganges river, the poet and radio producer Pejk Malinovski picks out a cow at random and starts to follow her.

He loves video games, comic books and his pets: a python and big burly dog. But recently, Tristan has taken up an unusual hobby. And to support it, he has a freezer in his bedroom. It was the top thing on his Christmas wish list last year. The freezer is now full of dead animal carcasses, patiently waiting for his attention.Medical Migrants by Delaney Hall for State of the Re:Union Susan Molloy has a controversial medical condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), which renders people seriously intolerant to synthetic substances. Because of this she’s lived in the clean mountain air of Snowflake, Arizona since 1994. MCS is not recognized as an illness by the American Medical Association, and people with the condition often find themselves without medical care, or access to disability resources. Sufferers live largely outside of mainstream society in isolated communities where they fend for themselves and build their own support networks. In Snowflake, the few dozen people who migrated there, left behind homes, families, and jobs to seek a place they can feel better... and more are still hoping to move in.This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This hour: lawyers-turned-pinball wizards, two extraordinary minds meeting in a field of poetry and, forty years after the phrase was coined, the skinny on 420.Geis & Geis: Pinball Machine Distributors by Sarah Geis for Falling Tree Productions' Short Cuts on BBC Radio 4 When Sarah was 10-years-old, her lawyer parents decided to quit their jobs and and take a spin in the world of pinball.420 by Phoebe Judge and Lauren Spohrer for Criminal The Colorado Department of Transportation says the 420 mile markers on the state’s highways were stolen so often, they had to replace them with 419.99 mile markers. Many people know that “420” represents marijuana – hence the popularity of the mile markers – but very few know why. It’s not a police code, it’s not the number of chemical compounds in cannabis, and it’s certainly not Bob Marley’s birthday. This is the real story.Two Poets by Martin Johnson for Seriously on BBC Radio 4 Daniel Tammet is an autistic savant for whom words are filled with colour and numbers have become friends. In Daniel's world, four is shy, six a little sad. Numbers and words come easy to him. And he never forgets — once, he recited 22154 digits of Pi from memory. On another occasion, he learned Icelandic in a week. He has a hard time connecting with people, but the poetry of Australian Les Murray opened up a new world for Daniel.This hour of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.

Midt i New York, en av verdens travleste byer, setter en mann seg ned og prøver å meditere. Å lære og meditere er vanskelig. Å fokusere bare på sin egen pust er vanskelig. Og det blir enda vanskeligere når han skjønner at ved siden av ham sitter den berømte skuespilleren Harvey Keitel. Programmet er laget av poet og programskaper Pejk Malinovski og Falling Tree Productions, for BBC Radio 3. Versjonert til norsk av Kjetil Hansen og Kari Hesthamar. Øystein Røger leser den norske fortellerstemmen. Sendt på P2 15.02.2014

Turn right and you'll meet the man or woman of your dreams. Turn left and you'll get hit by a car. Much of life is a matter of being in the right place at the right time, or the wrong place at the wrong time. In this impressionistic audio work, Canadian producer Sarah Boothroyd explores randomness, chance, and luck through the microcosm of the race track. Chance was commissioned by Falling Tree Productions, for an audio version of the parlor game "consequences." What does that mean? And how did Sarah get those incredible hoofbeat sounds?

This month's edition of the Sound Women podcast is an absolute humdinger! In it: • Natalie B, cohost of the Breakfast Show on Heart Four Counties, provides her Survival Guide for doing a breakfast show (spoiler alert! Get a thermos flask, choose your outfits the night before, don't pull sickies, and stay off the booze in the week but GO FOR IT on a Friday night). • Danielle Perry, presenter of Xfm's Evening Show, tells Ruth Barnes about persistence, her dreams of being on a show played in London cabs, and talking to dogs. • Eleanor McDowall from Falling Tree Productions teaches me how she concocts Radio 4's Short Cuts: eavesdropping, embarrassment, not broadcasting anything rude during the school run, and telling stories through toilets. There's also bonus Danielle Perry, discussing music and her own genre 'Topshop indie', for fully paid up Sound Women members in their special Members' Only Clubhouse on the Sound Women website. Want in? Join at soundwomen.co.uk/joinus.

This hour: imperfect, impolitic, infuriating... love. *Note, not all stories from the original broadcast are available on the podcast due to limited rights agreements. A Jerusalem Love Story by Daniel Estrin (Vox Tablet, 2013) Every relationship has its obstacles, but this one between two men - a Palestinian and an Israeli - may have more than any couple can bear. Other Halves by Dennis Funk (Shortcuts, Falling Tree Productions, BBC Radio 4, 2013) When you enter a marriage, you assume that you know the essentials of who your partner really is. Turns out, not always.
