Some people might call Jonathon Keats an artist, but he calls himself an experimental philosopher. His body of work explores the way that human life intersects with political and economic systems. His first major work, in the year 2000, involved sitting in a chair thinking for hours, and then selling his thoughts to patrons at prices calculated on the basis of their income. He once copyrighted his own mind as a sculpture. He created a ringtone based on John Cage's famous piece, 4'33”, which is four minutes and thirty-three seconds of complete silence. He built a pinhole camera that takes photographic exposures lasting 100 years. In Berkeley, California, he built a temple for the worship of science. Recently, he has been involved in efforts to formalize rights of nature. Jonathon challenges us to look carefully at the assumptions built into our markets, our democracies and our technologies, and constantly seems to do it in ways that seem abstract at the time, but end up prefiguring political or cultural issues years or decades before they erupt. He's a wonderful guide to this territory, and to the big questions it involves. In this conversation Matt and Jonathon discuss the philosophy of timekeeping. They consider the connectedness and the alienation of being on universal atomic time, the promise of alternative systems such as the river clock, and how different notions of timekeeping influence our understanding of democracy and nature.Jonathon Keats is an experimental philosopher, artist and writer. He is currently a fellow at the Berggruen Institute, a research fellow at the Long Now Foundation, a research associate at the University of Arizona, principal philosopher at Earth Law Center and an artist-in-residence at Hyundai, the SETI Institute and Flux Projects. His most recent book is “You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future” (Oxford University Press).Mentioned:Alaska RiverTimeIf you have feedback or ideas for future episodes, email us at info@radicalxchange.org.Host: Matt PrewittGuest: Jonathan KeatsProducer: Jack Henderson Connect with RadicalxChange Foundation:WebsiteXBlueSkyYouTubeLinkedInDiscord

Choreographer Sir Wayne McGregor is one of the most acclaimed, innovative and influential figures in contemporary dance. His works are often the result of creative collaborations with artists, musicians, filmmakers, or with scientists to explore technological issues. In 2006 he was appointed as Resident Choreographer at the Royal Ballet. He has created more than 20 new works at Covent Garden in that time, including Chroma, set to music by Joby Talbot and The White Stripes, and Woolf Works, a full-length ballet based on the life and writings of Virginia Woolf. More recently, McGregor brought the post-apocalyptic vision of Margaret Atwood to the stage in his ballet MaddAddam, based on the writer's acclaimed trilogy of novels. He has worked as a movement director on films including Harry Potter Goblet Of Fire and Mary Queen Of Scots, collaborated with bands including Radiohead and Chemical Brothers, and choreographed the virtual concert, ABBA Voyage. In October 2025, Somerset House in London will mount a landmark exhibition dedicated to McGregor's trailblazing collaborations that have radically defined how we think about performance, movement, and the body. Having won numerous awards, including two Oliviers, Sir Wayne McGregor was knighted in 2024.Wayne McGregor talks to John Wilson about his childhood in Stockport, where he took dance classes and was inspired by John Travolta's moves in Saturday Night Fever. He recalls the house and techno music of the late 80s when he was a student, and how the freedom of expression he felt on nightclub dance-floors informed his style of choreography. Whilst living in New York after leaving university, Wayne came across an open-air performance by the legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham, whose company was dancing to live music conducted by the avant-garde composer John Cage. It was a chance encounter that had a profound impact on McGregor. He also discusses how science and technology has been a major thematic influence on much of his work in recent years, and how AI has been used to create new works through analysis of physical movement and artistic expression.Producer Edwina Pitman

We are so excited to have the one and only Bob Bralove as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Reminiscing about the magnetic pull of legendary live performances, we reflect on the timeless impact of icons like Stevie Wonder, the Grateful Dead, and The Beatles. The past's vibrant music scene, where creative titans like John Cage and Salvador Dali mingled, serves as a backdrop for our discussion on the evolution of musical exploration. From the analog magic of pre-digital discoveries to the digital era's effortless access, this episode offers a nostalgic yet forward-looking perspective on how the journey of discovering music has transformed but continues to shape personal and collective experiences. Music, an eternal uniter, transcends the imaginary divisions of the world—this truth resonates throughout our conversation. As we navigate the delicate dance of personal expression and collaborative creation, the evocative power of music emerges as a comforting force. Taking all of Bob's influences and creating the new album 'Acoustic Conversations' has been a journey. We get to hear all about the creation of improvised sounds with violinist Patti Weiss and how this new album was born.

Laury und Uli tauchen in die Zweitberufe von Musikschaffenden ein und finden heraus, wie das Musik-Geschwisterpaar Herschel die Infrarotstrahlung und den Uranus entdeckt hat, wie es ist, sowohl Dirigent als auch Anästhesist zu sein, warum John Cage in Pilze gemacht hat und dass Johann Sebastian Bach Anteilseigner eines Silberbergwerks war.

Episode 166 Chapter 26, Early Computer Music (1950–70). Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 26, Early Computer Music (1950–70).  from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: EARLY COMPUTER MUSIC (1950–70)   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:40 00:00 1.     Tones from Australia, 1951. All produced using the CSIR Mark 1 computer built at the CSIR's radio-physics division in Sydney. The computer had a speaker—or hooter—to signal when operations were completed. A clever programmer thought of manipulating the signal tones into a melody. 02:18 01:42 2.     Alan Turing's computer music. 1951. Recording made of tones generated by the mainframe computer at the Computing Machine Laboratory in Manchester, England. Snippets of the tunes God Save the King, Baa, Baa Black Sheep, and Glenn Miller's swing classic In the Mood. Plus, the voices of computer lab members listening to the sound as it was recorded. Original acetate recording from 1951 restored by University of Canterbury composer Jason Long and Prof Jack Copeland. 01:55 02:36 3.     Max Mathews, “Numerology” (1960). Introduced by a narrator. From the album Music From Mathematics, Bell Telephone Laboratories. While working at Bell Labs in telecommunications research, Max Mathews was one of the earliest computer engineers to use a general-purpose computer to program music and digitally synthesize musical sound. His programming language Music I allowed composers to design their own virtual instruments, a breakthrough during those pioneering days of computer music. “Numerology” was composed to demonstrate the various parameters, or building blocks, available to the composer using this programming language: vibrato (frequency modulation), attack and decay characteristics, glissando, tremolo (amplitude modulation), and the creation of new waveshapes. 02:49 04:38 4.     John Robinson Pierce, “Beat Canon” (1960). Introduced by a narrator. From the album Music From Mathematics, Bell Telephone Laboratories. Played by IBM computer and direct to digital sound transducer. 00:52 07:28 5.     James Tenney, “Noise Study” (1961). So named because “each of the ‘instruments' used in this piece includes a noise-generator.” 04:24 08:20 6.     “Bicycle Built For Two (Accompanied)” (1963) From the demonstration record Computer Speech - Hee Saw Dhuh Kaet (He Saw The Cat), produced by Bell Laboratories. This recording contains samples of synthesized speech–speech artificially constructed from the basic building blocks of the English language. 01:17 12:42 7.     Lejaren Hiller, “Computer Cantata, Prologue to Strophe III” (1963). From the University Of Illinois. This work employed direct computer synthesis using an IBM 7094 mainframe computer and the Musicomp programming language. 05:41 14:00 8.     J. K. Randall, “Lyric Variations For Violin And Computer” (1965-1968). J. K. Randall's piece had a complex section that pushed the limits of computer processing power at the time. Although the section consisted of only 12 notes, each note was 20 seconds long. Each note overlapped with the next for 10 seconds, making the total length of the section only about 2 minutes. But this required 9 hours to process on one of the fastest computers of the day. 03:34 19:40 9.     John Robinson Pierce, “Eight-Tone Canon” (1966). “Using the computer, one can produce tones with overtones at any frequencies.” Produced at Bell Telephone Laboratories. 03:53 23:14 10.   Pietro Grossi, “Mixed Paganini” (1967). “Transcription for the central processor unit of a GE-115 computer of short excerpts of Paganini music scores. Realized at Studio di Fonologia musicale di Firenze (Italy). 01:46 27:08 11.   Pietro Grossi, “Permutation of Five Sounds” (1967). Recording made on the Italian General Electric label. Realized at Studio di Fonologia musicale di Firenze (Italy). Distributed in 1967 as a New year gift by Olivetti company. 01:33 28:54 12.   Wayne Slawson, “Wishful Thinking About Winter” (1970). Produced at Bell Telephone Laboratories. 03:53 30:26 13.   John Cage and Lejaren Hiller, “HPSCHD” excerpt (1967-1969). The piece was written for Harpsichords and Computer-Generated Sound Tapes. Hiller and Cage staged a lively public performance in 1968 at the University of Illinois in Urbana. The first 10,000 individual recordings came with an insert in the form of a computer printout insert designed to allow the listener to program their own performance. And I quote from the jacket: "The computer-output sheet included in this album is one of 10,000 different numbered solutions of the program KNOBS. It enables the listener who follows its instructions to become a performer of this recording of HPSCHD. Preparation of this material was made possible through the Computing Center of the State University of New York at Buffalo." I happen to have three copies of this album, each with the printout. 07:20 34:16 14.   Jean-Claude Risset, “Computer Suite From "Little Boy" (1968).  Realized at Bell Laboratories. 04:28 41:46 15.   Peter Zinovieff, “January Tensions” (1968). Zinovieff's notes, from the album: “Computer composed and performed. This piece is very much for computer both in its realization and composition. The rules are straightforward. The computer may begin by improvising slowly on whatever material is first chooses. However, once the initial choices are made then these must influence the whole of the rest of the composition. The original sounds must occasionally be remembered and illustrated but a more and more rigid structure is imposed on the randomness. The piece was electronically realized and composed in real time by an 8K PDP8/S and electronic music peripherals.” 09:48 46:12 16.   Barry Vercoe, “Synthesism” (1969). Realized in the Computer Centers of Columbia and Princeton Universities using MUSIC 360 for the IBM 360 mainframe computer. Vercoe authored this musical programming language. 04:33 56:00 17.   Charles Dodge, “The Earth's Magnetic Field” excerpt (1970). Composer Charles Dodge helped close the gap between computer music and other electronic music practices in 1969– 70 by working on computer code at Princeton University and then traveling to Bell Labs to have the code synthesized by a mainframe computer. The work, “Earth's Magnetic Field” (1970) was an outcome of this process. Dodge realized this piece by fusing computer composition with synthesis, one of the earliest examples of a practice that would become the norm many years later but that was quite difficult at the time. He used a “general- purpose sound synthesis program” written by Godfrey Winham at Princeton University. Every sound in the piece was computed into digital form using the IBM/ 360 model 91 at the Columbia University Computer Center and then converted into analog form at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. 07:45 01:00:32 18.   Irv Teibel, "Tintinnabulation (Contemplative Sound)" from Environments (New Concepts In Stereo Sound) (Disc 2) (1970 Syntonic Research).  One side of the record is a rare work of purely electronic computer music in a series that otherwise consisted of natural ambient sounds. It used computer-generated bell sounds, falling back on Teibel's experience processing sounds on an IBM 360 mainframe computer at Bell Labs. The record was promoted for meditation. A sticker on the cover read, "A Sensitizer for the Mind." From the liner notes: “As an illustration of the possibilities currently under examination, Syntonic Research decided to experiment with bell sounds as an environmental sound source. . . . Tintinnabulation can be played at any speed, from 78 to 16 rpm, in full stereo. At different speeds, the sounds change in tone and apparent size, although the harmonics remain unchanged. The effect, unlike real bells, is fully controllable by the use of your volume, bass, and treble controls.” 30:10 01:08:16   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

Roberto Galimberti"Di erbe e di fiori"Erbari d'autoreDa Besler a Penone, da De Pisis a CageMostra aperta fino al 22 giugno 2025Castello di Miradolo, San Secondo di PineroFondazione Cossowww.fondazionecosso.com Il termine “erbario” porta con sé alcuni concetti come collezione, classificazione, catalogazione, studio, memoria: questa dimensione metodologica e formale non ha soltanto caratterizzato la produzione di erbari storici che coniugavano la conoscenza del reale a una innegabile qualità estetica, ma ha anche suggerito ad artisti moderni e contemporanei differenti possibilità di esplorazione di linguaggi e di relazione con la natura e i suoi elementi.La mostra Di erbe e di fiori. Erbari d'autore. Da Besler a Penone, da De Pisis a Cage, in programma al Castello di Miradolo di San Secondo di Pinerolo (TO) dal 22 marzo al 22 giugno 2025, intende costruire un dialogo tra alcune pagine di erbari storici con la visione di alcuni artisti che attorno alla riflessione sulla materia e sugli elementi della natura hanno costruito opere che sono specchio del proprio tempo e del presente. Gli erbari storici di Carlo Allioni, Basilius Besler, Carlo Lupo, Pierre Edouard Rostan, Camillo Sbarbaro, Ada e Alfonso Sella diventano un controcanto alle opere di Vincenzo Agnetti, Björn Braun, Chiara Camoni, Adelaide Cioni, Betty Danon, Filippo De Pisis, Piero Gilardi, Giorgio Griffa, Wolfgang Laib, Ugo La Pietra, Christiane Löhr, Mario Merz, Helen Mirra, Richard Nonas, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone, Robin Rhode, Thomas Schütte, Alessandra Spranzi e Michele Zaza. Al di fuori delle sale, il Parco del Castello di Miradolo, con le sue essenze, le sue specie, le sue architetture vegetali, a dialogare con l'esposizione - curata dalla Fondazione Cosso e da Roberto Galimberti, con la consulenza iconografica di Enrica Melossi - e a mostrare un tempo, anch'esso sospeso tra storia e futuro.   L'esposizione è accompagnata da un'inedita installazione sonora, a cura del progetto artistico Avant-dernière pensée, dedicata al brano “In A Landscape” di John Cage del 1948. Una lenta sequenza al pianoforte di note omoritmiche, separate tra loro dallo stesso intervallo, sembra sottolineare la possibilità di ascoltare e, insieme, di essere “dentro” l'ascolto, in un paesaggio sonoro da osservare con attenzione, da vicino, come un quadro o le pagine di un erbario. Il sistema di diffusione del suono progettato per le sale espositive costruisce lo spazio, ne muta i confini percettivi e dialoga con la dimensione visiva, in un continuo controcanto in cui la cadenza dei suoni sembra confondersi con l'incedere dei passi di chi osserva.Parallelamente alla mostra si articolerà il progetto “Da un metro in giù”: un percorso didattico per i visitatori di tutte le età per imparare, con gli strumenti del gioco, a osservare le opere d'arte e la realtà che ci circonda.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

La nouvelle exposition temporaire accueillie à la Cité des sciences et de l'industrie invite à une réflexion sur notre rapport au silence et au bruit, deux phénomènes qui structurent notre quotidien.  Comment parler du silence ?C'est une exposition immersive qui commence avec beaucoup de douceur.

La nouvelle exposition temporaire accueillie à la Cité des sciences et de l'industrie invite à une réflexion sur notre rapport au silence et au bruit, deux phénomènes qui structurent notre quotidien.  Comment parler du silence ?C'est une exposition immersive qui commence avec beaucoup de douceur. On est accueillis, casque aux oreilles, avec le bruit d'un homme qui marche sur la neige. Mais c'est quoi le silence ? Le silence absolu existe-t-il ? Il n'y a que l'Espace où il semble exister. En effet, il y a trop peu de matière pour que le son puisse se propager. Le Big Bang est donc le feu d'artifices le plus silencieux de tous les temps... Se taire ne créé pas pour autant du silence.

"The piece combines a field recording taken from UNESCO World Heritage sites with instrumentation that can be electronic or acoustic. Its aesthetics are based on the theme of the sampler: the sea and the waves. "Posidònies i ones." serves as the epilogue to a series of ten compositions grouped under the title: "Hipervida. Book 1. Abans que jo, tots els éssers." "One spring, we collected posidonia from the beaches of Mallorca. Back then, my young daughter still could not speak—she only laughed and babbled while playing, her feet in the water, among the waves and the posidonia. "The only inheritance I have left from that day is the dried posidonia resting on my bookshelf, between John Cage's books and a moudy orange. "My daughter now speaks, and although she still laughs, she no longer plays as much. In a way, she is no longer the same. Though I must admit, I have also changed. In an impermanent existence, the only thing that anchors us to ourselves and protects us from the waves of the infinite cycle of births and deaths is the inheritance found in objects that symbolize memory, like a dried posidonia far from the sea. "Following the idea of waves as a representation of the balance between heritage and impermanence, "Posidònies i ones." is an algorithmic composition that can be performed by either a computer or human musicians. "Microcomposition: Each instrument has the same possibilities (pitch and note duration within a measure), representing the drops of water that, when combined, form the ocean. "Macrocomposition: The sonic dynamics of a wave are mimicked by gradually adding instruments and then removing them. "The composition and the recording of the electronic version were created using the "Algorithmic Text Sequencer" uPIGr, an online editor and interpreter for the JavaScript programming language."

Today we explore the mythology around John Cage's visit to the anechoic chamber. The chamber was designed to completely eliminate echoes. Ironically, the tale of Cage's experience in that space has echoed through history, affecting our understanding of silence, sound, and the self. But what do we really know about what happened there? And what could we ever know about such an event? In this audio essay, based on a piece that first appeared in the Australian Humanities Review, Mack Hagood explores the relationship between sound, self, and meaning-making.

Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 315: Jeanne Dielman Released 12 February 2025 For this episode, we watched the 1975 film Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, written and directed by Chantal Akerman and starring Delphine Seyrig. As well as holding a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film unexpectedly topped the 2022 Sight & Sound poll of the greatest movies ever made.

This episode we are thrilled to be joined by the artist Jessica Rankin. Born in Sydney in 1971, Jessica is known for her vibrant and expansive exploration of the processes of memory, intuition, and interpretation.  For the first part of her career, Jessica produced textile works that adopted methods historically identified with feminine pursuits—embroidery and needlework. She created works featuring 'mental maps' that combined word and image to highlight her ongoing project: a hybrid weaving of personal, fictional and historical voices. In 2016, Jessica turned exclusively to painting, combining gestural abstraction with the sewn mark on raw canvas. These works often take their inspiration from the literature of marginalised voices: of women writers, gay writers or writers of colour. They have included lines of poetry by writers who have inspired Jessica's work, such as Etel Adnan, Paul Celan, and Carl Phillips. Throughout, Jessica has continued to adopt John Cage's adage to ‘be unfamiliar to yourself,” creating a rich and compelling practice that spans multiple media. Jessica has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions including the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK, and MoMA PS1 here in New York. Last year, she had a solo show at White Cube in Hong Kong. Jessica is represented by White Cube. https://www.whitecube.com/artists/jessica-rankin Some artists and writers discussed in this episode: David Hammons Coco Fusco Martha Rosler Glenn Ligon Virginia Woolf Olivia Laing Julie Mehretu Lawrence Chua Paul Pfeiffer

As both a composer and singer, Kristin Norderval is inspired by hybridity, interactivity and the idea that everything we do is site-specific. In her operas, chamber works, sound installations, and music for dance and theater, she blends acoustic and electronic sound, de-tuned instruments, voices, machines, and the acoustic resonance of space. Having trained in both composition and classical voice, Kristin first earned her living as a soprano soloist with a focus on contemporary music, particularly American composers. She performed and recorded works by, and often alongside, composers such as Philip Glass, John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, George Crumb and many others. Returning to composition after her 40th birthday, she continued to focus on the voice as her primary sonic material. Her solo CD of work for voice and electronics - Aural Histories - was listed by The New Yorker music critic Alex Ross as one of “Ten Notable Classical Music Recordings of 2012”. Her opera The Trials of Patricia Isasa (2016) won Quebec´s OPUS prize for best contemporary music and best production. Kristin holds a PhD in Artistic Research from the Oslo National Academy of Arts, Academy of Opera in Norway. www.kristinnorderval.com

“In solitude, I often feel closer to the people I care for than when they're in the same room.” –Pico Iyer In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Pico talk about how the best travels are often counterbalanced with a kind of stillness, in which one can find one’s “best self” (3:00); Pico’s decades-long experiences with monks in a California monastery, the benefits of a “childlike attitude” toward life, and how “fire” can be a metaphor for spiritual life (12:00); how Pico’s solitude is informed by, and in conversation with, nature (22:00); Pico’s engaged relationship with spiritual communities, even though he is not religious (30:00); the “counterculture” spiritual tradition that grew up around Big Sur, California, and the power of longing (39:00); and how solitude can be a gateway to other people (47:00). Pico Iyer (@PicoIyer) is a novelist, essayist, and author. His newest book is Aflame: Learning from Silence.
