Entra nel flusso e fatti portare dalla musica e dal suono.L'esperienza e il vissuto determinano lo sguardo e, di conseguenza, la percezione che abbiamo di ciò che osserviamo e ascoltiamo. È una condizione primordiale per comprendere e godere il mondo elettroacustico e sperimentale di Niton, un trio attivo tra il Mendrisiotto e la Lombardia e che, con il nuovo album “11”, saluta l'adolescenza artistica accogliendo la maturità.undefinedTogli 1 dal titolo e hai 10, come le tracce che contiene e come gli ospiti straordinari che, per la prima volta, sono entrati nel laboratorio di Niton e hanno dato un contributo attivo che espande il raggio d'azione dell'organismo nel quale, per un giorno, si sono immersi. È un parterre di artisti internazionali straordinari: Beatrice Graf, Julian Sartorius, John Butcher, Andy Moor, Meryem Aboulouafa e Vanni Bianconi, Boris Hauf, Peter Kernel, Olivia Louvel, Andy Bluvertigo e Achille Ateba Mvondo.Il valore “alternativo” dell'elettronica di Niton non sta nella sua definizione, ma nella tipologia di strumenti che suona: un violoncello filtrato attraverso gli effetti, gli oggetti (strumenti impropri, anche loro filtrati) e i sintetizzatori analogici.È con estremo piacere che diamo il benvenuto a Zeno Gabaglio, Luca Xelius Martegani e El Toxique sull'isola felice di Confederation Music.undefined

Making a Scene Brings you an Interview with Bart BryantHow does a Connecticut transplant from Baltimore grow to pull off Austin-style hard drivin' heavy Blues & Rock and Roll? While from Baltimore, his fluid vocals and Blues-Rock guitar style have entertained audiences in Connecticut and Austin, Texas since his teens. His solo acoustic and band (Current) work in New Haven, CT and the Tri-State area gained him access to producers. By the late 70s Bart started recording his original songs. Recognition also brought warm-up band gigs for national acts at Toad's Place. Work with legendary artists like The Roches, Jorma Kaukonen, Poco, Pousette-Dart Band, Jonathan Edwards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Aztec Two-Step, Pure Prairie League, Johnny Winter, John Butcher, New Riders of the Purple Sage all had influence on Bryant's work & aspirations. http://www.makingascene.org

“Lina Lapelytè“ The Mutesà Lafayette Anticipations – Fondation d'entreprise Galeries Lafayette, Parisdu 23 juin au 24 juillet 2022Interview de Elsa Coustou, curatrice et coordinatrice du programme Lafayette Anticipations et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 22 juin 2022, durée 12'34.© FranceFineArt.Communiqué de presseCommissaire : Elsa Coustou, Curatrice et coordinatrice du programme Lafayette Anticipations accueille un projet musical et performatif inédit de l'artiste Lina Lapelytè, Lion d'Or à la Biennale de Venise en 2019.À travers la musique, les installations et l'orchestration de performances collectives, Lina Lapelytè s'intéresse aux structures de pouvoir, aux cultures et manières d'être contemporaines. En bouleversant les codes dominants de la tradition musicale occidentale, ses œuvres nous invitent à reconsidérer certaines constructions sociales et à ainsi repenser la place de l'individu dans la communauté. Ses ballades abordent les questions d'écologie, de genre, de vulnérabilité, d'invisibilité et d'altérité.Pour sa première exposition en France, Lina Lapelytè crée une performance musicale inédite interprétée par un chœur de personnes n'ayant pas eu de formation musicale. Allant à l'encontre des canons classiques qui excluent celles et ceux qui chantent « faux », The Mutes prend la voix comme point de départ et réunit un groupe d'interprètes non professionnel·les qui n'ont pas “l'oreille musicale”. Dans cette pièce, Lina Lapelytè questionne les notions d'harmonie et de justesse et, plus largement, les conventions et normes sociales qui entraînent des difficultés à accepter l'autre.L'espace d'exposition est transformé en un paysage d'orties, plantes aux effets urticants bien connus et aux propriétés médicinales souvent méconnues. Leur présence renforce la signification symbolique de l'œuvre, qui cherche à défaire les catégorisations. L'œuvre réfléchit également aux forces qui contraignent les corps, comme en témoignent des sculptures de chaussures à semelles obliques, conçues pour redresser le corps une fois portées sur une surface inclinée.Une bande son composée par Lina Lapelytè, avec des contributions enregistrées par les musiciens Angharad Davies, Rhodri Davies et John Butcher, accompagne les interprètes amateur·rices pendant qu'il·elle·s se déplacent et chantent dans l'espace, tout au long de l'exposition. Les paroles qu'il·elles chantent sont extraites du livre de Sean Ashton, Living in A Land, un autoportrait ambivalent dans lequel le narrateur décrit ce qu'il n'a jamais fait, ne fait plus ou ne fera jamais. Ces textes poétiques font appel à nos souvenirs, nos désirs et nos regrets. En proposant de faire entendre les voix de celles et ceux qui en ont été privés, Lina Lapelytè célèbre la polyphonie, l'écoute attentive et l'expression individuelle, tout en s'interrogeant sur la manière dont nous pouvons former un chœur et constituer une voix collective.#expoLinaLapelytè Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

"Nunca te rindas", dice Keith LaMar desde la prisión, recluido desde hace 28 años en una celda de aislamiento del corredor de la muerte. El trompetista Adam O'Farrill ha compuesto un tema cuya recaudación va destinada al fondo legal de LaMar, que participa recitando su historia. En el horizonte, "Freedom First", el título del que será primer trabajo del preso junto a músicos como el pianista barcelonés Albert Marquès. (En este enlace puedes recuperar nuestra reciente conversación con Keith LaMar). "desde mi cadiera" Jesús Moreno nos propone la primera parte de un monográfico dedicado al contrabajista británico Dominic Lash. La primera se concentra en trabajos publicados durante este año 2021. En "Limulus", Lash lidera un cuarteto con Javier Carmona (batería), Ricardo Tejero (saxo alto) y Alex Ward (guitarra); "Discernment" es su encuentro con tres clásicos de la improvisación británica: John Butcher (saxos), John Russell (guitarra) y Mark Sanders (batería); "Local" recoge su encuentro en Nueva York con dos improvisadores estadounidenses: Joe Morris (guitarra) y Nate Wooley (trompeta); en "Exercises and explorations", Dominic Lash es uno de los intérpretes de la música de Christian Wolff. En el tiempo de los "Ritmos Latinos" de Anxo recupera la música de dos combos latinos en los que sobresalían los punteos de guitarra y a los que, además, rodea un halo de misterio. Desde Cuba, Wilson y su combo; desde Colombia, Julián y su combo. El "Jazz Porteño" de Alberto Varela está dedicado al cuarto trabajo de Barbie Martínez, "Here and now". Junto a la cantante, el pianista Francisco LoVuolo, el guitarrista Gonzalo Beraza, el contrabajista Walter Filipelli, el baterista Sebastián Groshaus y los saxofonistas Mauro Ostinelli y Federico Álvarez.

  As I type this we are getting pounded with another 9" of snow, the second pounding in less than a week. Combine that with semi-lockdown we are still under and it sort of feels like I'm in a research station outpost about to hunker down for The Long Polar Night. Most of the titles fit the theme as well as the feel of the tunes.. I added some weather radio recordings throughout the mix which I think worked out pretty well. One happy accident that happened while putting this together is I accidently left two tracks by two different artists in the same spot. I didn't even notice at first. They were playing simultaneously and it sounded like it was meant to be that way. This happens at 51:21 of the mix.

„Collaborating is the main life force for me.“ Two inspiring harpists have met for the Darmstadt On Air podcast #13: Gunnhildur Einarsdóttir is an Icelandic harpist based in Berlin, founding member of Ensemble Adapter and harp tutor of the Darmstadt Summer Course since 2014. She invited harpist and improviser Rhodri Davies, who is a based in Swansea, South Wales. He plays harp, electric harp, live-electronics and builds wind, water, ice, dry ice and fire harp installations. Rhodri has released five solo albums and is also working in different constellations with artists like John Butcher, John Tilbury, Michael Duch and many others. Gunnhildur and Rhodri both studied with the Welsh harpist Sioned Williams and it was through her that they first heard of each other. The two harpists have both been doing pioneering work in order to invigorate the harp repertoire with new pieces. They also share an artistic approach that is very much based on collaboration and cooperation. Their conversation is about choosing collaborators, about ego and trust, about Rhodri’s collaboration with Eliane Radigue, who wrote the first of her OCCAM pieces for him, about verbal transmission of interpreters‘ knowledge, about the grey area between improvisation and composition, and about diving into a composer’s world and inhabiting in it with one’s own ideas and sounds.

The group was fleshed out by Richard Grossman on bass, Mark Kingmill on drums, and Brad Shepherd on guitar, harmonica, and vocals.  Hoodoo Gurus were most popular on college radio, and this album was released at the peak of their popularity. The Gurus were influenced by B movies and pop culture of the 60's, and the similarity to the B-52's is clear.Friend of the show Joel Nabors brings us this album, which he heard at Auburn on WETL.  Enjoy this trip back to “college in the 80's!” Party Machine This upbeat song features Brad Shepherd on harmonica, and is a song about getting paid, having no obligations for the weekend, and headed out to party.  "Dig my words, it's a happening scene!  Hitch a ride on the Party Machine."The Middle of the LandThis track is a little more hard rock oriented, with heavy percussion.  It is about evangelical preachers and hypocrisy.  What's My SceneA catchy guitar riff starts this song which was the most popular one off the album.  It's about looking at life and love, and wondering when you're time will come.  "Now the stage is set, where's my Juliet, baby?"  Good TimesThis is a fun song which features The Bangles on background vocals.  There was a planned tour co-headlined between the Hoodoo Gurus and The Bangles, but the skyrocketing popularity of The Bangles at the time resulted in the Gurus being the opening act. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:The theme from the television series “The Twilight Zone” In May 1987, "The Twilight Zone" motion picture director John Landis was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, killed in a helicopter accident. STAFF PICKS:“Holy War” by John Butcher AxisWayne's staff pick features a rocking song with an easter feel from New England songwriter John Butcher.  This song describes people who use religion to fight a holy war.  Butcher identified with Jimi Hendrix, and the name Axis comes from the Hendrix album "Axis:  Bold as Love." “Midnight Blue” by Lou GrammBrian brings us the lead single from Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm's solo debut. "Life is simple.  It's either cherry red, or midnight blue."  Cherry red is everything going well, midnight blue is dark and mysterious.  They lyrics describe a couple who are broken up, but the boy vows to come back again.“Weapons of Love” by The TruthRob's staff pick digs deep from a group formed in 1982.  This is The Truth's best selling single, and the title track from their album of the same name.  Weapons of Love peaked at number 7 on the rock charts. “Just Like Heaven” by The CureJoel rounds us out this week with a well-known song from another college rock favorite.  It sounds surprisingly upbeat, though still somehow melancholy, from ordinarily dark goth group The Cure.  "Spinning on that dizzy edge.  I kissed her face, I kissed her head." INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:"Initiation" by HelloweenThis instrumental track opens German heavy metal Helloween's album "The Keeper of the Seven Keys:  Part I."

Today’s sermonette based on Luke 19:29-48 is given by Rev. John Butcher from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Centralia, Missouri. This is a rebroadcast from May 31, 2017.

John Butcher held 15 jobs in 20 years with Target Corp. and it taught him to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. So when an executive recruiter called about a leadership role at Caribou Coffee, the Minneapolis-based premium coffee chain with nearly 700 locations worldwide, Butcher said yes to the interview, even though he knew very little about coffee or the restaurant business. “Any business that can strike an emotional chord is interesting to me,” he says. Butcher joined Caribou as president in 2017, at a time when the company was “not reaching its potential,” Butcher says. “Ultimately, we weren’t being very guest focused." Butcher talks about how he listened, learned, and made purposeful changes that have resulted in improved sales, employee retention, and the best customer service feedback Caribou has ever received. In 2019, Butcher was named CEO of Caribou, which is owned by Luxembourg-based JAB Holdings Co. but has its headquarters in a suburb of Minneapolis. He has since embarked on plans to redesign Caribou cafes, open smaller format stores, and move into canned beverages. He talks about coffee trends, shares leadership advice, and offers tips in shifting culture and adding purpose. Says Butcher, "It’s important to me to know the effort I’m putting forth every day is doing more than making money." After our conversation with Butcher, we go back to the classroom with Gino Giovannelli, a digital marketing professor at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business, who points out some of the leadership decisions that have allowed Butcher to thrive as a newcomer to Caribou. “The answers come from within. But you have to be willing to ask, and not immediately try to fix.”
