Sokak meglepetésére nemrég Rick Beato Youtube-csatornáján is bemutatkozott Gerlóczy Zsigmond zongoraművész, zeneszerző és producer, a szabad improvizáció és a valós idejű zeneszerzés elkötelezett képviselője. Zsigmond nyolc éves korától foglalkozik improvizációval, és kilenc évesen kezdett teljes egészében rögtönzött szólózongora-koncerteket adni. Különböző műfajokban tevékenykedik, beleértve a klasszikus zenét és a dzsesszt is. Debütáló albuma improvizációkból álló szólózongora-lemez volt 2023-ban, ezt követően pedig vokális progresszív pop-jazz-neosoul albumot jelentetett meg 2024-ben Future Sounds címmel, amely bátran odatehető mondjuk Jacob Collier munkái mellé. Az Instagramon meglehetősen aktív zongorista április 25-én ismét a Magyar Zene Házában koncertezik szólóban, de április elején újabb improvizációs albumot ad ki. Erről, Indiáról, amerikai utakról, Keith Jarrett-ről, mi minden fér bele 24 órába, szárnyalásról, önjáróságról lesz szó.Műsorvezető: Bihari BalázsA Wanted podcast adása az NKA Hangfoglaló program támogatásával jött létre.
For the series finale, we go back to the Fort. Join us as we bring you the sights and sounds we experienced at Fort Adams as Newport Folk returned after a necessary break in 2020, and presented their six-day, half capacity 2021 festival, Folk On. We'll take you from the meaningful first notes sung by the first performers to grace the stage, Resistance Revival Chorus, to one of the last - Lake Street Dive, and their tribute to beloved member of the folk family and former WFUV Program Director, the late Rita Houston. We also hear from Andrew Bird and Hiss Golden Messenger's MC Taylor about their return to performing and paying homage to John Prine, from mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile about the magic of Newport and why it continues to gives him hope, and the kismet journey of Allison Russell organizing and performing during the most talked about set at Folk On, Sunday night's 'Once and Future Sounds', curated by, and featuring women of color, with a very very special guest. We also check in with Margo Price and Jeremy Ivey, Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee), Yola, Newport Executive Director Jay Sweet, and many other artists, fans and members of the Folk family about their experiences at Folk On, their reflections of the past 18 months, and where we are headed. Through it all, the feeling of family and community is ever present, giving us the courage to take tentative steps forward, leaning into the truth and power of music, and the magic that happens when we dream together. Festival Circuit: Newport Folk is presented by Osiris Media, and hosted by Carmel Holt. It is co-written, co-produced and edited by Carmel and Julian Booker, who is also the series' audio engineer. Production assistance from Zach Brogan. Executive producers are RJ Bee and Christina Collins. Show Logo and art by Mark Dowd.

The penultimate episode of the Road To Joni series packs in more conversations than any episode so far. As host Carmel Holt heads east toward home and the finale of the series on Joni's 81st birthday, the throughline of “Both Sides Now” continues on with four artists whose creative path would have been very different if not for Joni Mitchell. Sylvan Esso's Amelia Meath was introduced to Joni's music at the age of 12 by her dad. They listened in the car on cassette until she knew the songs by heart. Amelia cites Joni's freedom with her voice and her ability to talk openly about the challenges of living inside the music industry as core inspiration for her own creative journey. She tells Carmel that she thinks that the celebration of Joni should go on forever. Multi-grammy award winning and nominated singer, songwriter and Tony award winning playwright and author Anäis Mitchell says that Joni is in the DNA of what she does as an artist. She talks about the impact of Hejira and the powerful example it set for her to witness a woman genius (Joni) doing it on her own terms. Anäis shares that she can relate deeply to the duality of “Both Sides Now” - how revisiting something in her 40s that was written in her 20s can mean something totally different. Next we hear from Allison Russell about how her “Once & Future Sounds” set at the reemergence of Newport in 2021 came about, and how it led her to being on stage with Joni Mitchell the following year, as well as The Gorge in 2023, and most recently, at the Hollywood Bowl. She pinpoints hearing the clarinet in “For Free” for the first time as a pivotal moment that led her to playing clarinet with Joni as part of the Joni Jam. Our final conversation in Episode 9 is with Grammy nominated Irish singer, songwriter, multi- instrumentalist Andrew Hozier Byrne, aka Hozier. He talks about how Joni's music cracks open the hearts of anyone who listens to it… and we can attest that in this episode, even stories about Joni's music will crack some hearts open. Andrew tells Carmel about a meeting with Brandi Carlile in LA that led him to Joni's living room as part of an early Joni Jam. He emotionally tells the story of how Herbie Hancock started playing “Summertime” and Joni started singing along. He says about Joni, “It's like being in the presence of something mythical.”

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn the last Utopia segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz compares the reactions of the hip-hop community to the Astroworld disaster and Gunna's recent arrest. Dreamz discusses how some artists have condemned Gunna for cooperating with the police, while others have continued to support Travis Scott, who has been accused of contributing to the deaths of 10 people at Astroworld. Dreamz also explores the reasons for this double standard and the implications for the future of hip-hop.This segment is sure to be of interest to fans of hip-hop, music festivals, and social justice.We also explore the track "TELEKINESIS" by Travis Scott, Future, and SZA. The track's title is a reference to the supposed ability to move objects with one's mind, which is often portrayed in superhero films and comics. Travis Scott is a fan of superhero culture, and has even dressed up as his favorite characters on multiple occasions.The track was originally recorded during sessions for Kanye West's album Donda, and was originally titled "Future Sounds." It was slightly reworked to feature Future and SZA, and the resulting track creates a soundscape that could give the listener the ability to control things within their own thoughts, like telekinesis.We discuss the track's lyrical content, its production, and its place in Travis Scott's discography. We also explore the concept of telekinesis and its potential implications for the future of human technology.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

After 97X signed off in 2004, "the future of rock and roll" stayed alive as woxy.com - with many fits and starts (and stops) along the way. "Angel investors"... LaLa.com... Future Sounds... Oxford... Longworth Hall in Cincinnati... Austin, Texas. The dot-com version had several homes, and more lives than a cat, before finally ending quite abruptly on March 23, 2010. We talk to the folks who experienced all those ups and downs, and lived to tell the tale: Shiv, Mike Taylor, Joe Long, Brian Niesz, and Bryan J. Miller share their stories of the woxy.com era.

An award winning broadcaster, podcaster and television presenter best known for her work on BBC Radio 1, where she hosted the official chart and the world famous Live Lounge. She currently hosts Future Sounds, breaking the new music from rising and established musicians.A little known fact about Clara is that she collects art and is friends with many artists. Her brother also collects art and photography and his record collection even inspired the teenage Clara to get into the artistic side of music - including the album artwork of Lauryn Hill.
