Christopher Noël holds a Master's degree in philosophy from Yale University and a Master's in Fine Arts from Vermont College of Fine Arts where he taught writing for 20 years. He also researches the phenomenon of Sasquatch. He is author of several books, including There is No Veil: At Play in the Vast Here and Now, UAPs and the Afterlife: How New Disclosures Support Centuries of Psychic and Spiritual Research, and The Anatomy of Thin Air: Practical Solutions to Paranormal Mysteries. His website is thenearnessofyou.net. Christopher proposes a theory of consciousness that may account for the nature of existence and parapsychological phenomena, such as psychokinesis, remote viewing, and mediumship. He suggests it as a nested field that is co-located and moves within quantum fields. Bridging science and spirituality, he includes physical matter within his theory. Here is how the Nested Field Theory applies to object levitation, aka anti-gravity without technology: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zcdmeho5ypsh5x7f1v93x/An-Attempt-to-Solve-an-Age-Old-Mystery-4.pdf?rlkey=2196clut8p8xa2lld39ylcmfd&st=iv68mkxh&dl=0 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:35 Camps of consciousness theories 00:09:14 Consciousness and fields of information 00:18:51 The Nested Field Theory 00:35:27 The soul, UAP, and psychokinesis 00:52:41 Near-death experiences, mediumship, and the afterlife 00:59:05 Electromagnetic fields and light 01:00:14 Who or what drives the quantum fields? 01:06:13 Bridging science and spirituality 01:13:45 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed CoHost, Emmy Vadnais, OTR/L, is a licensed occupational therapist, intuitive healer and coach, and spiritual guide based in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In Berlin, a gallery floor is disappearing, one stone at a time.In this episode of The Art Bystander Podcast, Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar meets Michael Sailstorfer at Galerie Judin's Mercator Höfe space for a conversation about artistic freedom, physical labour and the uncertainty that runs through the German artist's latest installation, Pull the Rug.Around 11,000 paving stones cover the exhibition floor. Every 50 seconds, a worker removes one and feeds it through an opening in the wall. A concealed machine then propels it into an adjoining room, sending the sound and vibration of its impact back into the gallery. Over the course of the exhibition, the floor is gradually removed, exposing the sand beneath.Born in Bavaria in 1979, Sailstorfer grew up around his family's stone workshop before studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and Goldsmiths in London. Now based in Berlin, he has spent more than two decades expanding sculpture through movement, sound, scent and processes of transformation and destruction.Their conversation moves from his childhood and early ambitions to the pressures of finding success while still at art school, the importance of working directly with materials, and the unpredictable relationship between an idea and its realisation. Sailstorfer explains why he once considered becoming a farmer or an architect, and why the freedom of art ultimately persuaded him to take another path.Returning to Pull the Rug, they discuss the stability he remembers from his own childhood, the world his children are growing up in, and the uneasy proximity of repetitive labour, contemplation and aggression. A simple act of feeding a stone into a wall becomes the starting point for a wider discussion about machinery, responsibility and what happens when the consequences of our actions are hidden from view.Recorded at Galerie Judin, Berlin, during Berlin Art Week 2026.Michael Sailstorfer: Pull the Rug10 September to 10 October 2026Galerie Judin, Mercator Höfe, BerlinExplore Michael Sailstorfer's workExhibition information at Galerie Judin Hosted on Acast.

What happens when a gift God placed in your life decades ago seems to disappear—only to return when you least expect it? From the 2026 Getty SING! Conference in Nashville, TN we talk with artist and educator Jeanine Fons Siebold, whose extraordinary story is one of faith, perseverance, suffering, beauty, and God's timing. Jeanine trained classically in Fine Arts and once had gallery sponsorship in Boston. Then, for more than 50 years, she set her art aside. But about a year and a half ago, she says the Lord “resurrected” that artistic gift—and what emerged was a deeply personal expression of Scripture through what she calls liturgical Scriptural Art.

In this week's episode photographer, Alex Majoli takes on our ‘Proust Photo Quiz'… The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Proust answered the questionnaire in a confession album, a form of parlour game popular at the end of the 1890s. The album, titled An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc.was found in 1924 and published in the French literary journal Les Cahiers du Mois. Our ‘Proust Photo Quiz' is an adaption of the original text. Alex Majoli Majoli was born in Ravenna, Italy, in 1971 and attended the Art Institute in Ravenna. His career began to develop after he photographed the closing of the notorious insane asylum on the island of Leros in Greece, which resulted in his first monograph, Leros. Majoli's early interest in psychiatric care led him to Brazil, which marked the beginning of his twenty-year-long, ongoing project, Tudo Bom, a body of work documenting the multi-layered country, and the extremes found in the darker side of its society. The experience of photographing people in all kinds of circumstances led him to explore the idea that everyone is an actor in their own life. This is why he started the ongoing project, Scene in which his images become scenes in which people, through their performances, express themselves in what becomes a film set or a theater stage. Majoli's work is held in various public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, International Center of Photography, MUFOCO and Mucem. Among many honours, he has received the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund Fellowship for Humanistic Photography, a Guggenheim Fellowship, an ICP Infinity Award, a Getty Images Grant. He was NPPA Photographer of the Year and received an OPC Feature Photography Award. His books include One Vote (2004), Libera Me (2010), Congo (2015), Andante (2018), Scene (2019) and Opera Aperta (2021). Majoli joined Magnum Photos in 1996, becoming a full member in 2001 and lives in New York. www.magnumphotos.com/photographer/alex-majoli/ Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work as a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

Why do some problems yield to effort while others only tighten into knots? In The Knot: Problems Can Be Solved, Seth Godin reveals the invisible assumptions, borrowed scorecards, and sunk costs that keep us stuck. Meanwhile, Amy E. Herman's Fixed: How to Perfect the Fine Art of Problem Solving turns the artist's process into a practical toolkit: embrace the unfamiliar, ask why, look carefully, and know when to stop tinkering. Together, these books suggest that solving a stubborn problem isn't always about pushing harder. Sometimes it starts with seeing more clearly—and deciding which baggage you can finally put down.

Grief has a way of erasing your map. One day you're moving with confidence, and the next you're standing in front of your work thinking, is this the first time I've ever done this? I'm recording solo while Nathan's away, partly because I need to hang out, and partly because the last few weeks have been heavy with loss. When your mind goes quiet and your body goes numb, the usual creative routines don't always work, so I lean into the simplest thing I can do: tell the truth, read, write, and keep showing up.From there, I pull a single thread through four very different voices, all pointing to the same idea: not knowing is worth protecting. The Delphian Gallery's guidance on building an art career, Orson Welles talking about the freedom of ignorance, Peter Hook's line about “wonderful mistakes,” and Austin Kleon's warning that knowing can make you boring all land in the same place. Mastery isn't the enemy, but comfort can be. If you want real artistic growth, you have to experiment, take creative risks, and accept that making bad work is often the cover charge for discovering something true.William Kentridge takes it even deeper, describing the studio as a kind of machine that turns the outside world into visible form, a collage under construction made of memories, fragments, conversations, and pain. A story from Edith Schloss about a 1943 loft makes the metaphor physical: the artist in the storm, steering what they can while admitting they can't control the weather. We end with a question I can't stop thinking about: where do you end and the world begins?If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who's stuck, and leave a review so more artists can find us.

Paul Connor is an Australian painter whose practice centres on landscape, observation and environmental engagement. Originally trained in architecture, he later completed a Master of Fine Art at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, graduating with first-class honours. Connor has exhibited for more than three decades and is represented in collections throughout Australia and internationally. Known for his expressive interpretations of place, he continues to build upon the rich tradition of Australian landscape painting while addressing contemporary concerns about the environment and cultural connection to country. In this episode, we explore the work and career of Australian artist Paul Connor, a painter whose practice is deeply rooted in the tradition of landscape painting while engaging with contemporary ideas about memory, place and environmental change. Drawing inspiration from direct observation, Connor's work captures both the physical reality and emotional resonance of the Australian landscape. His paintings often evolve from plein air studies, transforming observed scenes into layered compositions that reflect the way places are remembered and reimagined.Connor's background is unusual in that he initially studied architecture before completing a Master of Fine Art at the University of New South Wales. This combination of architectural thinking and painterly observation has influenced his approach to space, structure and composition. Throughout his career he has exhibited widely, with works held in public and private collections across Australia, Hong Kong and England, and displayed at the Australian Embassy in Beijing. The discussion also looks at Connor's significant contribution to Australian art through his role as founding director of the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize. The prize helped revive interest in outdoor painting and encouraged artists to engage directly with the landscape. Alongside his artistic practice, Connor has demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental conservation, serving as a trustee of both The Australian Museum and the Lizard Island Reef Research Station. We examine the evolution of his work from industrial and urban subjects to dramatic coastal environments, remote landscapes and ecological themes. Connor's paintings invite viewers to slow down and reconsider familiar places, revealing the complexity, beauty and fragility of the natural world. His achievements include being a finalist in major Australian art prizes such as the Glover Prize, Mosman Art Prize and Calleen Art Award, and winning the Pro Hart Outback Art Prize in 2024. Paul is represented by Defiance Gallery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Art Bystander Podcast, Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar is joined by Erwin Wurm on the occasion of Mind Bubbles & More at Carling Dalenson in Stockholm, running from 22 September to 31 October 2026. One could easily say Erwin Wurm is one of the world's most recognized and respected artists today.Born in Bruck an der Mur, Austria, in 1954, Wurm has spent more than four decades expanding what sculpture can be, finding material in clothing, furniture, cars, houses and the human body. He originally wanted to become a painter, but found himself placed in a sculpture department. His response was to keep testing the discipline until he could make it his own, eventually returning to painting through works he calls Flat Sculptures.That resistance to a fixed definition runs through his practice. In the 1992 video 59 Positions, a man and his sweater move through a sequence of poses, making sculpture out of the changing relationship between a body and its clothes. His later One Minute Sculptures invite participants to follow instructions involving everyday objects, adopting positions that can be awkward, funny or difficult to maintain. A sculpture exists briefly through someone's willingness to take part, with balance, embarrassment and the presence of an audience becoming part of the work.Wurm's distorted objects extend these questions into the things we buy and inhabit. In his Fat Car series, luxury vehicles acquire swollen bodies, exaggerating the excess already associated with them. Fat House turns domestic security into something ungainly and overgrown, while Narrow House compresses his childhood home into proportions that make moving through it uncomfortable. Possessions become a way of examining the expectations attached to success, respectability and belonging.These works can also be understood against the background of Wurm's childhood in postwar Austria, where the recent Nazi past often remained unspoken and conformity shaped everyday life. The absurd gives him a way of approaching the habits people accept without much examination. Following an instruction, dressing correctly or choosing a particular car becomes material for thinking about how we learn to fit in.There is a useful connection here with Pierre Bourdieu's account of taste and social distinction: the objects around us communicate class and aspiration, whether or not we intend them to. Wurm makes those objects physically strange enough for their social meanings to become harder to overlook. His humour can leave us wondering why we laughed, and how much of our own behaviour we recognise.Mind Bubbles & More brings together three-dimensional sculptures and recent Flat Sculptures. The Mind Bubbles borrow the familiar thought-bubble form from comic books while withholding the words or images we expect to find inside. The viewer supplies an imagined thought, continuing Wurm's interest in participation through an encounter that takes place in the mind.Across sculpture, performance, photography, video and painting, Wurm returns to questions of volume, identity and perception. Wurm's work is held in major public collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Centre Pompidou, and Walker Art Center. He has received Austria's Grand State Prize for Fine Arts (2013), the GNMH Award (2021), and an honorary doctorate from the University of Belgrade (2022). He is represented by Thaddaeus Ropac, Lehmann Maupin, and König Galerie.An introduction to an artist whose work makes the everyday a subject of sustained scrutiny, from the clothes on our bodies to the instructions we follow and the homes we build around ourselves. And be ready for some laughter! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For episode 492 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Host Matt Payne welcomes photographer/director Scott McDermott, a New York City–based professional with 25+ years spanning sports, fitness, celebrity portraiture, commercial campaigns, directing, and fine art. McDermott describes learning through five years assisting across genres, then building a career by pivoting as opportunities changed, including ongoing cityscape images from his Queens window. He contrasts mindsets between commercial photography (client-driven deliverables), directing (big-picture storytelling for the edit), and fine art (freedom without external endpoints). McDermott explains his Backline fine art series, inspired backstage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers show, photographing road-worn instruments and gear as “modern relics,” plus a cassette-tape print project marketed via separate branding, galleries, art fairs, and Instagram. He discusses developing style through experimentation, differentiating over-photographed subjects, pricing uncertainties, balancing personal and commercial work, and sustaining longevity through stubborn persistence, risk tolerance, and adaptability, including surviving a year without work during COVID.

The painting changed ownership multiple times during World War II before ending up in the possession of a Nazi commander. The museum bought the artwork in New York in 1946, relying on paperwork that turned out to be doctored.

Send us Fan MailI wanted to start today's episode with a warning. Today's episode went down some very dark roads and the subject matter is sensitive. We discussed the vicious murders of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy at the hands of their mother, Lindsay. January 24, 2023, at the family's home of Patrick and Lindsay Clancy on Summer Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts Lindsay Clancy brutally and savagely murdered her three children, Cora Clancy (5), Dawson Clancy (3), and Callan Clancy (8 months) by taking them into the basement and strangling them one by one with an exercise band.There's a lot of misinformation surrounding this case. It's time for conversations grounded in facts rather than feelings or bias. Helping me tackle it today is bestselling author, defense attorney, and expert on the pathology of the criminal mind, Kerrie Droban.Kerrie is an award-winning author and criminal defense attorney in Arizona. She holds a master's degree from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars and a Master of Fine Arts and Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona. She has keynoted gang task force conferences and national writing conferences, and has appeared on CNBC's American Greed, A&E's Gangland, the American Heroes Channel's Codes and Conspiracies, Investigation ID, and the Discovery Channel's Deadly Devotion.We recorded this conversation on September 14, 2026, after the trial ended in a mistrial. The killings aren't in dispute. The question at trial was whether Lindsay was criminally responsible, and prosecutors argued she acted deliberately. After hearing our conversation, decide for yourself.In today's episode we discuss:·      The lack of outrage for the three innocent and defenseless children who were murdered by their mother.·      The “Team Lindsay” movement throwing money and support at a mom who viciously and meticulously killed her three children. ·      Gender bias: would a father who did this be seen as sick, or as a monster?·      Aurora, which Kerrie co-wrote with Dr. Lynne Fenton, and how public opinion of blaming health care providers has shifted.·      Postpartum depression is real and common ([verified stat, source]). Postpartum psychosis is rare, and Lindsay's diagnosis came only after the killings, from a forensic psychiatrist. ·      Flaws in the mental health system: per the prosecution, about 30 prescriptions for 13 psychiatric medications in the four months before, taken sporadically.·      Five clinicians and two hospitals saw her in that window, and none diagnosed psychosis or bipolar disorder·      The evil that is in the world today and the monsters who can't be helped.·      Prosecutors focused on the vagueness of the voice Clancy claimed to hear: she had to choose where — the basement; she had to choose how — strangulation.·      Lindsay's preparation and premeditation before she killed her children.·      Jurors who have raced to get their five minutes of fame. This quote from a juror sums it up. “He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.” ·      “Team Clancy” is doing no favors for the feminist movement. This is setting a precedent. Do we have to test mothers who are coming off maternity leave with jobs that might harm others before we let them back into the workplace? Surgeons, cops, pilots, military- all jobs that were, and still are, male-dominated. Do you want a woman who is postpartum and potentially has postpartum psychosis with the launch codes to the nukes?All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Visit Kerrie Droban on her website!Please visit the Cops and Writers website.What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

Episode No. 776 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Mark Thomas Gibson and curator Ben Colman. The Tang Museum at Skidmore College is presenting "Mark Thomas Gibson: We Are a Constellation," a survey of Gibson's recent considerations of US history and the relationship between our past and our present. The exhibition was curated by Ian Berry in collaboration with the artist and is on view through January 3, 2027. Gibson's work is also featured in  "The Crossing: Picturing the American Revolution" at the Michener Art Museum, Doylestown, Penn. "The Crossing" looks at how artists have represented Continental Army commander-in-chief George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776. "The Crossing" is particularly interested in how artists have built on and often 'refuted' Emanuel Leutze's famed 1851 Washington Crossing the Delaware, which is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The exhibition, which was curated by Laura Igoe, is up through January 10, 2027. An exhibition of Gibson's recent work opens at Philadelphia's Fleisher/Ollman Gallery tomorrow, and remains on view through November 7. Among the institutions that have presented solo shows of Gibson's work are the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Library Company of Philadelphia, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Colman is the curator of "Georgia O'Keeffe: Architecture" at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Across about 35 paintings, the exhibition examines O'Keeffe's career-long interest in buildings and the built environment. It's on view through January 3, 2007. The DIA has published a catalogue that is available from Amazon and Bookshop for $32-34. Instagram: Mark Thomas Gibson, Ben Colman, Tyler Green. Air date: September 17, 2026.

"When you're creating, you can be fearless. But fear is what makes your pieces more interesting." — Abhay SehgalHow do you go from studying fine art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to building a global surreal art brand, launching the streetwear label Code BRWN, and capturing modern Indian identity through memory and chaos?In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, host Dr. Abhay Dandekar sits down with contemporary surreal artist, SAIC alumnus, and Code BRWN founder Abhay Sehgal. Abhay shares his journey from experimenting with darker art and Salvador Dalí-inspired surrealism to returning to Delhi, where he weaves memory, psychology, and Indian culture into a globally recognized aesthetic. Abhay chats about his philosophy on why emotional tension and fear give art its depth, how disruption and travel spark his best conceptual work, why he prefers keeping his personal identity separate from his art, and the idea of fine art accessible to a new generation across India and the diaspora. We touched also on the challenges of this past year through allegations of plagiarism, mimicry, and AI art, and how he has grown tremendously as an artistIf you enjoy deep conversations on art, culture, identity, creative risk, and South Asian storytelling, please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE!--------------------------CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Teaser: "Fear is what makes your pieces more interesting"01:05 - Sponsor Break: Travelopod01:24 - Welcome & Introducing Contemporary Surrealist Abhay Sehgal02:49 - The Meaning of "Abhay": Fearlessness in Creative Expression04:22 - Dark Art, Mental Health & Balancing Cheerfulness with Tension06:21 - Personality vs. Art: Why Keeping Identity Secondary Matters10:16 - From SAIC Chicago to Delhi: Falling in Love with Surrealism12:23 - Nostalgia, Heritage & Memory as Creative Anchors16:12 - Sponsor Break: TRAVELOPOD and Lotus Lane Coffee16:37 - Routine vs. Disruption: Why Chaos Multiplies Creativity19:36 - Bridging Two Worlds: Why Diaspora Audiences Connect with Surreal Art24:35 - Code BRWN & Streetwear: Making Fine Art Accessible27:19 - Sponsor Break: Timberdog Ruffrest27:48 - Redefining Trust, Inspiration & Growth After a Year of Creative Challenges33:09 - Fine Art, Public Spaces & The Power of Community Art36:20 - Redefining Success, Social Media & Staying Authentic41:01 - "Walk Ten Miles in My Shoes": Triggering Nostalgia in Viewers42:37 - Outro & Community Shoutouts--------------------------EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Fear as Tension: Why true creativity requires fearlessness in execution, but emotional tension to make visual art compelling.• Nostalgia & Identity: How living in Chicago and Delhi shaped Abhay's surrealist lens on modern Indian identity and heritage.• Navigating Chaos: Why breaking away from mundane routines and embracing disruption sparks new artistic breakthroughs.GUEST & HOST RESOURCES:

This Friday's replay is my conversation with Katherine Corden, a fine artist in Traverse City, Michigan, known for her expressive figures and color work, who got here by easing out of a career as a physical therapist rather than leaping. She started her art Instagram the week she graduated PT school, and eight years later, that side project has become a full-time business complete with an Anthropologie partnership, gallery representation, and licensing deals. We talk through what she learned in Emily Jeffords' first-ever mastermind cohort, why she never discounts her original paintings, and how she runs a print business with zero inventory by printing everything to order. Katherine also shares some genuinely pinch-me moments, from her work appearing in an Architectural Digest home feature to her first public mural, plus a book cover licensing deal she was keeping mostly under wraps.

This week on Talking Art, Ben Gougeon talks with metal sculptor John VandeWalle about transforming metal into art, his creative process, and where people can find his work locally, including Skeleton Key Art and Antiques.

AI news this week: GPT-6 Astra is here and it does everything. We spent a week inside it (Blender, GarageBand, a full live game) to find out what it's actually great at. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell go hands-on with OpenAI's Astra, aka GPT-6, and it's real good (and real expensive). The headline for us is computer use, and specifically Blender: Astra builds 3D scenes from a sentence, and the internet is already making Backrooms worlds, a hyper-real Palace of Fine Arts, and the Billie Jean dance. Gavin ran his own experiments, including a Parappa The Rapper style animation and a head-to-head with GPT 5.6. Plus: Astra identifying sounds from spectrograms, driving MS Paint and Canva, editing a full project, playing Zork as a walk-around game, remaking Paperboy in 3D, editing Super Nintendo games in real time, making music in Logic, and a League of Legends "cease and desist edition" that raises the big question of how copyright even keeps up with this. Also: the OpenAI Navier-Stokes math drama. NYU's Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic's Levent Alpöge used AI to make a real advance on a 200-year-old fluid problem, and then, according to Buckmaster, OpenAI raced in with a 100-page proof of the same route and things got very ugly over credit. When your AI collaborator's lab can see what you're close to, who owns the idea? Plus: Gavin built King of the Prompts, a live competitive prompting game made with Astra and MiniMax H3 Max, and he'll tell you what it is, why he made it, and what it costs to run.

What are the most important challenges for architecture today? And what will they be in the future? One of the most influential architects of our time, David Chipperfield, talks to our cofounder, Alice Rawsthorn, about the urgent need to respond to architecture's new priorities from an environmental and societal perspective, and the importance of securing public and political support for that process.David grew up on a farm in south-west England and worked for Britain's architectural grandees, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster, before opening his own practice in London in 1985. David Chipperfield Architects (DCA) now has offices in Berlin, Milan, Santiago da Compostela, Shanghai as well as London.DCA is responsible for many memorable buildings – from the Neues Museum in Berlin, to the Royal Academy in London and San Michele Cemetery in Venice. Current works in progress include the Nobel Center in Stockholm, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and an ambitious project for the London School of Economics to repurpose and reuse a 1950s building. David also tells Alice how he works on very different scales at Fundación RIA, the non-profit foundation he has established in Santiago da Compostela to experiment with environmental, economic, social and cultural projects in the Galician region of north-west Spain. We hope you'll enjoy this episode. You can find images of the projects David describes on our Instagram @design.emergency. Please join us for future episodes of Design Emergency when we will hear from inspiring global design leaders who are in the forefront of forging positive change.

Full Text of Readings Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 127 The Saint of the day is Blessed Claudio Granzotto Blessed Claudio Granzotto's Story Born in Santa Lucia del Piave near Venice, Claudio was the youngest of nine children and was accustomed to hard work in the fields. At the age of 9, he lost his father. Six years later, he was drafted into the Italian army, where he served more than three years. Blessed Claudio Granzotto's artistic abilities, especially in sculpture, led to studies at Venice's Academy of Fine Arts, which awarded him a diploma with the highest marks in 1929. Even then he was especially interested in religious art. When Claudio entered the Friars Minor four years later, his parish priest wrote, “The Order is receiving not only an artist but a saint.” Prayer, charity to the poor, and artistic work characterized his life which was cut short by a brain tumor. He died on the feast of the Assumption, August 15, 1947, and was beatified in 1994. Blessed Claudio Granzotto's liturgical feast is celebrated on March 23. Reflection Claudio developed into such an excellent sculptor that his work still turns people toward God. No stranger to adversity, he met every obstacle courageously, reflecting the generosity, faith, and joy that he learned from Francis of Assisi.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Episode #439 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth have a long overdue one. We're finally highlighting the career of Michiru Yamane, a composer whose name has become inseparable from gothic grandeur even as her catalog stretches far beyond the castle walls she's best known for. After studying composition at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, where she built her thesis around Bach, Yamane joined Konami in 1988 and spent over two decades there, composing for more than forty games. From tiny handheld chips and loud arcade cabinets to the orchestral heights of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, she proved again and again that a classical foundation could bend to almost any hardware, genre, or mood. We're tracing the full arc of Yamane's journey, from one of her earliest credited jobs in 1990 all the way to the Castlevania theme that launched her legend. Along the way, we stop in on lush RPG worldbuilding, a beat-'em-up that never left Japan, a jazz-soaked fighting game, an indie love letter to the exact genre she helped define, and the freelance era that saw her wandering happily outside her comfort zone. From haunted halls to lounge-jazz curtain calls, this Composer Appreciation episode is dedicated to an artist whose fingerprints are all over the medium, whether you realized it or not.
