Improvisation is considered a high art form for an instrumentalist, but what about for a composer?  Is it even possible to create a piece of music for an ensemble, and to hear it performed in real time?  How would you go about that? You would have to have an entire group imagining together.  Lawrence "Butch" Morris did it by creating a compositional language that allowed him to convey musical ideas using physical gestures.     His system, which he called "Conduction," was immediately transformative.  He created compositions in real time that were shaped by the musical language and the performances of the participating musicians.  It was an unprecedented musical spontaneity.    Butch Morris died in 2013, but Conduction is still making new breakthroughs in the hands of successive generations of musical thinkers.  Violinist/composer Mazz Swift, who worked with Butch Morris, is one of them.  New forms and ideas continually emerge, and Butch Morris endures as a shaping influence.     This Monday (Jan. 19), Mazz Swift joins host Mitch Goldman for a Deep Focus on Butch Morris.  Do the vast WKCR archives contain live, unreleased recordings of Butch Morris?  We certainly hope so!  Tune in to find out.   Deep Focus this Monday (Jan 19) from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org.   Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  Just like WKCR, it's ad-free, sponsor-free, all free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Learn more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Butch Morris - photo by Anthony Barboza - nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaahc_2014.157.7 fair use under Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #ButchMorris #LawrenceButchMorris #MazzSwift #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman   Deep Focus is a production of Small Media Large.

Needs Some Introduction - House of the Dragon/The Patient

The hosts, Victor and Kim, preview upcoming podcast coverage, including the penultimate episode of Industry, the finale of A Night of the Seven Kingdoms (with HBO reporting about 13 million average viewers and 9+ million in the first three days for the latest episode), and plans to cover the first episodes of Paradise with Alan while Darren is on vacation. They confirm continued weekly coverage of The Pitt and Drops of God, note that Sona will return for a new HBO Max series starting March 1 starring Jason Bateman, David Harbor, and Linda Cardellini, and share ways to contact and support the show. They discuss Drops of God season 2 episode “Trust Me,” focused on a Georgian family's backstory and sibling rift. The hosts describe how an apparent reconciliation is a fake-out: the sister tells her long-estranged brother “we forgive you,” implying he must be forgiven for being born, which triggers conflict and exposes long-buried abuse tied to the family's wine legacy. They connect the episode's themes to the show's broader pattern of “going underground” into trauma (wine cellar imagery) and draw parallels to Camille and Issei's family history. They highlight Camille's increasingly Leger-like obsession: she uses Issei's access to the mother to take gifted wine and enter it into her competition, prioritizing preserving wine over people and potentially forcing outcomes no one else wants. They also note suggested attraction and manipulation dynamics between Camille and Davit. They then cover The Pitt episode 7 (1:00 PM hour), describing it as messier than the prior episode but revealing a major looming catastrophe: a severe, likely self-imposed hospital-wide network shutdown to counter a cyberattack, affecting phones, internet, and hospital systems. They discuss how modern medicine depends on connected electronic systems (EMR, labs, imaging, medication dispensing, and blood bank workflows) and how downtime creates dangerous delays and risks, while rejecting simplistic “go back to paper” solutions. Other episode threads include July 4 heat-related strain, a missing unhoused patient, Dr. Halimi's likely PTSD/panic symptoms tied to prior field work in the Middle East, and broader staff mental health struggles (including Santos's scars and Langdon's prior benzo use). They discuss a sexual assault exam storyline led by Dana and the victim ultimately backing out because the assailant is someone she knows. They note Abbott's return as a SWAT medic and Robbie refusing to forgive Langdon during a rooftop trauma intake, creating tense teamwork. Additional plot points include Ava's father pushing dermatology over surgery, an end-stage cancer patient choosing to die in the hospital rather than at home, and a law student's apparent psychotic break with family tensions about undisclosed mental health history. The segment ends anticipating next week's consequences of extended downtime and the hospital system strain as nearby hospitals are also attacked. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Show intro + what's on the podcast schedule this week 01:59 Listener updates, subscriptions, and how to support the show 03:24 Drops of God S2E: “Trust Me” — the Georgia family backstory & the fake-out reunion 05:27 Wine cellars, buried trauma, and how family legacies warp everyone 13:49 Camille's turning point: becoming Leger, stealing the wine, and the fallout 18:01 The Pitt Hour 7: messy episode, but the looming disaster is a total system outage 20:01 Medicine without the internet: EMR downtime, cyberattacks, and why “air-gapped” isn't realistic 26:30 Heat wave ER realities + dangling threads (cooling, missing unhoused patient) 28:01 Dr. Halimi's backstory and the staff mental health spiral (PTSD, self-harm, benzos) 32:22 Coping in High-Stress Medicine: Gallows Humor vs Burnout 33:11 Inside a SANE Exam: The Meticulous, Emotional Reality of Sexual Assault Care 35:10 Abbott's Return with SWAT + Robbie's Awkward Double-Take Comedy 36:44 Patients Who Walk Out: AMA Stories, Free Insulin, and Limits of Helping 38:04 Robbie vs Langdon: Personal Grudges Collide with Trauma-Team Leadership 40:43 Ava's Dad Pushes Dermatology: Family Pressure and Lifestyle Medicine 41:53 The Cancer Mom's Choice: Dying in the Hospital vs Home Hospice 43:20 Law Student Psychosis & Family Secrets: Stigma, Self-Medication, and Disclosure 45:29 When the EMR Goes Dark: Blood Bank, Med Dispensing, and Paper-Chart Chaos 48:42 Cyberattacks + AI Dependence: Hospitals vs the Coming ‘Bot Army' 51:07 Back to Basics: Generational Divide, Improvisation, and Systemwide Overflow 55:03 Final Wrap: Translator Frustrations, Pen-and-Paper Solutions, and Show Notes

How to turn complexity into connection through clear communication.Communication in high-stakes moments isn't about saying more — it's about connecting better. For Jonathan Berek and Phil Polakoff, the most effective communicators don't rely on jargon or performance. They rely on empathy, listening, and stories that resonate.Both longtime Stanford Medicine leaders, Berek and Polakoff have spent their careers translating complex, emotional, and often urgent health issues for patients, colleagues, and the public. And they've learned that the message only lands when it's delivered at the right level, with the right intention. “Know your audience,” Berek says, describing the importance of “leveling” — communicating in language that meets people where they are, without talking down or over their heads.For both Berek and Polakoff, listening is the foundation. “The two most important skills in communication are empathy and listening,” Berek explains — not as soft skills, but as the core mechanics of trust. Polakoff agrees, pushing for directness and clarity: “I like a yes or a no. I don't like ambivalence or ambiguity.” And when it comes to being memorable, he's relentless about simplicity: “Think bold, start small.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Berek and Polakoff join host Matt Abrahams to examine what great communicators actually do: prepare deeply, speak concisely, listen with intention, and use storytelling to bring others along. Because as Berek puts it, “People feel the emotion when they see a story,” and emotion — paired with clarity — is what turns information into impact.Episode Reference Links:Phil PolakoffJonathan BerekConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:49) - Raising Awareness For Women's Cancer (03:46) - Redefining Health Beyond Disease (05:08) - Why Storytelling is Essential (07:08) - What Makes a Story Memorable (08:45) - Advice for Better Communication (09:46) - Making Complex Ideas Accessible (10:34) - Speaking at Your Audience's Level (11:57) - Listening & Empathy (12:39) - Improving Communication with Improv (14:08) - Communication for Collective Change (16:47) - Mentorship & The Big Picture (17:58) - The Final Three Questions (21:48) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

PULP CTHULHU: How to Play 3 - Actual Play Pt 3: Tactical Sacrifice and Other Life Hacks

In the thrilling conclusion of the RPGBOT.Pulp Cthulhu Actual Play, our heroes discover that Luck points are real, sanity is optional, and jetpacks are — scientifically speaking — extremely explosive plot devices. Bjorn steals the Necronomicon with telekinesis, Murray forgets who he is, everyone falls in love with the villain thanks to eldritch karaoke mind control, and the final boss fight is resolved using the timeless tactical doctrine of: "What if we shot the jetpack?" Featuring heroic sacrifice, catastrophic math, spontaneous dismemberment, and a helicopter extraction that arrives precisely when pulp cinema demands it — this episode delivers the important lesson that Call of Cthulhu isn't about surviving intact. It's about surviving spectacularly. Show Notes The finale opens with table banter and a brief plug for ongoing Pulp Cthulhu play opportunities before the Keeper resets the stage and reviews key mechanics — including luck recovery, spending luck for survival, and sanity system nuances. The players regain luck and receive a reminder of how it can modify rolls, negate damage, or even prevent death — rules that soon prove critical. A sanity check against newly transformed ghast enemies immediately escalates tension. Randall's character loses significant sanity and enters a bout of insanity, gaining amnesia and temporarily forgetting context and equipment while acquiring an "insane talent" that grants unusual resilience to pain. This mechanical disruption reinforces Call of Cthulhu's psychological stakes and introduces roleplay chaos at the outset of combat. Combat begins in the ritual chamber where Scarlet Arachnus attempts to complete her summoning. Gunfire exchanges with the ghasts while Arachnus deflects harm through magic. Randall lands a devastating critical hit on one creature, while Tyler pivots toward objective play — targeting the ritual itself. The Necronomicon becomes the center of the encounter as telekinesis is used to wrest control of the artifact from the villain, disrupting her casting momentum. The encounter spikes in complexity when Arachnus unleashes Siren Song, charming allies and nearly turning the party against itself. Iowa succumbs completely, while Tyler resists. Surrounded and nearly dead, Tyler resorts to a desperate solution — coordinating with Randall's jetpack maneuver. The resulting detonation obliterates Arachnus and the ghasts, collapses magical support sustaining the enemies, and nearly kills the party in the process. Randall survives only by spending luck to avoid certain death. After the blast, the ritual collapses, the remaining threats dissolve, and the survivors secure the artifact. Extraction arrives via helicopter — a fitting pulp cinematic conclusion — as the buried ruins vanish beneath the sand, ensuring their secrets remain hidden. The episode closes with post-session reflections on system feel and character impact, cementing the adventure as a chaotic but successful demonstration of Pulp Cthulhu's tone and mechanics. Key Takeaways Luck mechanics are central survival tools and dramatically influence outcomes Sanity loss meaningfully alters gameplay through narrative and mechanical disruption Insanity effects can produce both hindrance and unexpected advantages Objective-focused play (stealing the artifact) can end encounters faster than damage trading Mind-control effects reinforce Mythos horror stakes beyond physical threats Pulp tone encourages cinematic risk and heroic sacrifice Improvisation and environment use can resolve otherwise lethal encounters Narrative pacing culminates in high-stakes chaos followed by cinematic resolution Actual Play effectively demonstrates mechanics through emergent storytelling The finale showcases how Call of Cthulhu balances horror tension with pulp heroics Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

We talk about growing up in a deeply musical home, starting on drums, and the exact “big bang” moment when a John Mayall live DVD (and Tom Canning on Hammond B3) made Simon lock in on the organ for life.We get into Simon's early recording experiments, how he writes (often away from the instrument, grabbing voice memos before ideas disappear), and his relationship with theory—especially his favorite framing: theory shouldn't tell you what to do, it should explain what you're hearing. And then we go deep on the dream-team reality of All That Matters: recording with Steve Gadd and Will Lee and how that session turned into a tour, and what it takes to keep your head straight when your heroes show up fully prepared to play your music.Music from the Episode:On a Roll (Simon Oslender)In Good Hands (Simon Oslender)Cruisin' (Simon Oslender)Quite Logical (Simon Oslender)Thank you for listening.

Send a textIn this episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Stan Lai, one of the most influential playwrights and directors of our time, to explore what creativity really is—and what it is not.Stan challenges the myth that creativity is mysterious or reserved for the gifted. Instead, he reveals how creativity is a traceable process of the mind, shaped by focus, patience, and the ability to remove the habits that block original thinking. Drawing from decades of writing, directing, and teaching, he explains how characters are formed, why improvisation needs structure, and why chasing results often kills the work before it begins.The conversation also explores how audiences shape (and sometimes distort) creative decisions, why Hollywood feels broken, where AI helps and where it falls short, and why the most meaningful work comes from motivation—not metrics.

Let yourself be drawn into the world of one of the most prolific, shape- shifting presences in 21st century music. Vijay Iyer is a Grammy-nominated composer, pianist, bandleader, and the Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts at Harvard University. He is a MacArthur Fellow, described by The New York Times as “a social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway.” In a profound conversation, Vijay Iyer takes us on a journey of discovery, into what embodied cognition truly means and where music begins. He invites us to explore the extraordinary phenomenon of synchrony: how musicians lock into pulse together, and how an entire audience can exhale as one at the close of a performance. Iyer speaks of live music as a form of ritual, a collective agreement to step out of everyday life and into something else, together. He also reflects with great warmth on his collaborations with artists such as the drummer Tyshawn Sorey and the legendary trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, describing the deep listening, humility, and compassion that make their music possible. He opens our eyes to think deeply about jazz, “not as style of music but an act of freedom.” Music, he insists, should truly be listened to as a human action, asking ourselves who made it, where they were, and how they found each other. This episode is a powerful and loving reminder that music is, first and foremost, a live, shared, visceral, mutually embodied experience, and that within it lies the recognition of a deep longing we carry always: to come back to the experience of that timeless space where two souls meet in the act of listening.

Immer auf der Suche nach neuen Erkenntnissen – und manchmal auch nach einem Ausweg.In dieser Folge berichtet sie von ihrem Einsatz in Sierra Leone, wo während einer Feldstudie zur Biodiversität plötzlich alles aus dem Ruder lief: Macheten, Misstrauen, kein Strom, kein Pass.
