Silenced Soil begins with a fragile artefact: a recording of Claude Debussy's Sarabande, composed in 1894 and revised in 1901, then recorded on 11 April 1963 in Gillitts, KwaZulu-Natal, by ethnomusicologist Raymond Clausen. Its only documentation is a handwritten note on a reel-to-reel tape box: “at Gillitt's, copy of Debussy, Sarabande.” No pianist, no studio, no context. The archive offers little clarity. Sometimes it keeps its silence.Listening to this recording in 2025, I was confronted not only by sound, but by history. Why was Western art music recorded here, under whose authority, and for what purpose, during a period still shaped by colonial power? Before reshaping the music, I had to confront my own position as a descendant of European colonisers. This inherited legacy uncomfortable but necessary became central to the work, sharpening my awareness of cultural imposition, culture colonialism and ongoing calls for restitution.From this reckoning, Silenced Soil emerged. I treated Debussy's melody as a fractured map: splintered, dispersed, and reassembled through chance. This approach draws on John Cage's embrace of indeterminacy and my long-standing admiration for atonality in music. The soundscape is composed at 120 BPM (2 Hz), chosen to evoke both calm and alertness. A reflection of historical time moving slowly, yet demanding urgent re-examination. Within this framework, I wove voices and instruments from Zulu culture, women's singing sound fragments, mouth harps, clapping sticks, and rattles — alongside electronics, loops, found sounds, urban noise, and synthesised textures and the original recording of Sarabande. I actively intervened in this source material, editing the refrain of Sarabande into fragmentary notes and embedding them within the soundscape composition. These elements meet not as opposites but as interlocutors, forming a threshold where suppressed traditions and contemporary sound worlds converge.Unanswered questions remain: Who was the pianist? Who authorised the recording? What ethical framework governed it? These absences are integral to Silenced Soil. What is unheard can be as powerful as what is recorded. And the soil? It stands for the restless cosmos, for the sand forever in motion across our planet. What drifts, what scatters, what is buried will, in time, be made visible. My compositional process is guided by intuition and curiosity; notation and atonality serve as a compass rather than a rule, supported here by research into the subject itself. My aural journey began at six at the piano, expanded through Germany's 1990s DJ culture, deepened during my years as a contracted composer with BMG, and refined through studies in Sound & Visual Art at Middlesex University's Lansdowne Centre for Electronic Arts. Together, these experiences shape a practice that moves fluidly between structure and instinct, inquiry and an enduring love for soundscape creation.Piano being played reimagined by Linda Himbert.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Why do the most profound learning experiences often feel like getting lost in a good game?In this episode, Brian sits down with Christopher Icks, a philosopher, applied linguist, and experiential learning designer, to explore why "play" isn't just for kids—it's a vital engine for deep, transformative learning. From his work at the University of Oregon's CASTLES to his stewardship of Eugene's eclectic Resonance Building, Christopher reveals how we can design spaces and experiences that foster genuine connection, wayfinding, and what he calls "vital surplus."They dive into the tension between rigid institutional metrics and the messy, beautiful reality of how we actually learn. Get ready to question the classroom circle, embrace a little vertigo, and discover why a "Bring Your Own Puppet Party" might just be the future of professional development.

Join Jesse and Michelle for an incredible conversation as they sit down with Cephas Azariah and Joshua Luke Smith to explore the intersection of faith and creativity—why we create, how God is involved in our creative process, and what it means to live as a Christian creative in today's world. This episode has been repurposed from a seminar at Wildfires Festival last summer. It is packed with honest insights, practical wisdom, and a powerful challenge to step into the creative calling God has placed on your life. This episode tackles the fear of adding to the noise, the pressure of perfection, why you don't have to be joyful to create, and the power of silence before God. Experience a guided moment of stillness inspired by John Cage's 4'33"—a practice of listening to the sound of your heart, your thoughts, and the Holy Spirit. Whether you're a musician, actor, photographer, dancer, or someone who just loves to make things, this conversation will challenge you to see creativity not as a side hustle but as your birthright, and to create with honesty, freedom, and the presence of God.

Plus the RESET Festival at Neimënster Luxembourg vibraphonist and composer Pascal Schumacher has spent a career sculpting sound, as a composer and performer. A deep admirer of Philip Glass, Pascal has become more interested in the concept of time and how our perception of time can be shifted with music. A metronome is a minimal music instrument We open the show with Schumacher's shimmering “Re: Amarcord”, which is a reworked piece from his Sol album. This album was created from a residency at Op der Schmelz in Dudelange. We then discuss the metronome experiment: when people listen to a perfectly repeating click their perception of time slows or even seems to stop. Schumacher explains that our first reaction to repetition is that it can be boring. However, minimalist composers play with this concept. “If you're bored after four repeats, listen to eight; if you're bored after eight, stay for sixteen. At some point, it becomes something else.” A study of Philip Glass Schumacher's admiration for Philip Glass starts with structure as sound. Philip Glass stars with the form, the shape, the arc; before disappearing into detail. Pascal tries to pass on this lesson to students: musicians can become obsessed with tiny technical questions before they've even agreed what the piece is. Glass's comfort with exceptionally long forms, he notes, was shaped by theatre thinking: the patient building of scenes for example, and that patience shows up in works like Einstein on the Beach, designed from the start as a multi-hour world the audience can enter and exit. Clock time versus Musical Time One of Schumacher's most striking ideas is that clock time only moves forward, but musical time has more freedom. He describes music as a place like a city you visit. If you love it, you go back. That's why a song can instantly return you to an old memory: a first kiss, a summer drive, a chapter of life you thought was gone. Music is emotional time travel. Silence We also talk about the concert moments audiences feel in their bones: the stillness before the first note, and the suspended beat after the last note when nobody dares clap first. Schumacher calls this a breath and reminds us that what we call silence is never empty; it's a change in listening. The room is part of the piece, the lighting, the people around you at that moment in time, the season you play in. Notably American composer John Cage played with this concept with his 4'33 piece where every orchestral instrument has 4'33 bars of rest RESET Festival 2026: a ‘musical jazz hackathon' at Neimënster Abbey Schumacher is also the musical curator behind RESET, now in its 9th edition, and it's built around one core idea: residency changes everything. 8 musicians from 8 different countries and different ages come together to build music. RESET runs 25–31 January 2026, with eight artists in a creative residency at Neimënster. The three-night public programme Day 1 (Thu): #jazzcrawl — three short sets across the city: Neimënster (Salle Nic Klecker) → Cercle Cité → Bazaar. Day 2 (Fri): #solos — each musician takes an eight-minute solo: eight distinct “time worlds” in one evening. Day 3 (Sat): #concert — the full group comes together, with each artist contributing to the final shape of the night. RESET is the live jazz laboratory of music where Luxembourg can experience it. Pascal and the team are offering three sets of two tickets for the final performance on Saturday night at Neimënster Abbey. https://www.neimenster.lu/collection/reset/ MUSIC / TRACK REFERENCES “Amarcord (Fejká's Daydream Version)” (SoundCloud stream): https://m.soundcloud.com/fejka/pascal-schuhmacher-amarcord-fejkas-daydream-version “Glass Two” (YouTube album playlist – includes “Mishima Closing”): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kWNfNju6rtKIVotOfOXWJC7s-HR-R4Oys “Mishima Closing” on Spotify (Pascal Schumacher & Danae Dörken / Philip Glass): https://open.spotify.com/track/5Bq9jwy1UdmIpYOmFFr8hi

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1====================================================DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================20 de DiciembreCaro Silencio«Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, para testimonio a todas las naciones, entonces vendrá el fin» (Mat. 24: 14).Y si estos callan, las piedras gritarán» (Luc. 19: 40, RVA-2015).En 1952 el compositor John Cage escribió una obra musical a la que dio por título 4'33". Este título insólito corresponde, simplemente, a la duración de la pieza, es decir, 4 minutos y 33 segundos. Lo especial de esta composición es que sus tres movimientos no contienen ninguna nota, aparte de la anotación «Tácet»: silencio.El estreno de 4'33" tuvo lugar el 29 de agosto del año 1952 en Wood stock (Nueva York), y constituyó un sonado escándalo. En efecto: el joven pianista David Tudor entró en escena, saludó al público, se instaló ante el piano de cola, lo abrió, esperó los 4 minutos y 33 segundos y lo volvió a cerrar, marcando así el fin de la actuación. Entretanto, nada. Silencio. Un silencio solo interrumpido por las toses nerviosas de los espectadores... hasta que se dieron cuenta de que no había nada más que esperar y abandonaron la sala protestando, frustrados y enfurecidos.Lo más chocante es que, gracias a esa «creación», John Cage se hizo mundialmente famoso, fue solicitado para interpretarla en numerosas ocasiones y hasta para grabarla en discos y CD ¡con diferentes instrumentos!!¿Locura? ¿Extravagancia? ¿Genialidad? ¿Burla? Ha habido reacciones para todos los gustos. No es mi intención aquí ni juzgar al artista ni a sus fans, ni discutir sobre las numerosas virtudes del silencio. Mis reflexiones van en otra dirección: hay silencios que pueden ser bienhechores, muy valiosos y hasta caros, pero hay otros muy poco recomendables, porque no aportan nada bueno.Jesús instó a sus discípulos a compartir el mensaje que él había proclamado a costa de su propia vida: el evangelio no debe ser callado bajo ningún pretexto. Tiene que ser proclamado a todo mundo para que llegue a toda la humanidad y cumpla su misión, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.El apóstol Pablo siente tan a pecho esa responsabilidad, que exclama: «¡Ay de mí, si no anuncio el evangelio!» (1 Cor. 9: 16). Y exhorta al joven Timoteo en estos términos: «Te suplico encarecidamente [...] que prediques la palabra y que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo. Redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina [...]. Cumple tu ministerio» (2 Tim. 4: 1-5).Cuando la historia parece avanzar a ciegas por derroteros inciertos, no es tiempo de silenciar que Jesús ha prometido volver. Sería un silencio demasiado caro. El mundo necesita más que nunca un mensaje de cordura, de solidaridad y de esperanza.Inspírame, Señor, para que sepa romper el silencio cuando convenga.
This episode is a follow-up to The Sound Barrier series, which explores our brain's relationship to sound. In our third episode of the series, we asked listeners to try to experience silence and record what they heard. Today, we share the sounds of quiet from across the world in a tribute to John Cage's 4'33”. Plus, Tinnitus researcher and Unexplainable guest Dan Polley answers your questions from the series.

Évszázadokon átívelő zenetörténeti elemzések, kortárs popzenei leágazások és személyes kapcsolódások érnek össze Fazekas Gergely zenetörténész írásaiban, melyek közül az elmúlt években számos a 444-en jelent meg, és melyeket idén egy kötetben fogott össze. Így adta magát, hogy a Nem rossz könyvek podcastban a komfortzónánkból kissé kimozogva, zenetörténeti és zenehallgatási kérdésekről beszélgessünk Fazekas Gergellyel, aki nemcsak a Zeneakadémia tanára, de mellette a popdalokat szétszedő Dalszerelőműhelyt is vezeti. A tartalomból: 00:00 Készülve már az évzáró részre, most csak egyetlen könyvet említünk röviden: Veronica Pacini - A nő teste. 02:30 Vendégünk Fazekas Gergely, akit elsőnek a zenéhez vezető útjáról és az első emlékezetes lemezről kérdezünk. (Otto Klemperer - Bach H-moll mise) 07:40 Mit csinál egy zenetörténész? És mit ad ehhez a filozófia? 14:00 Mennyit számít, hogy gyerekként mit hallgatunk? A klasszikus zene közönsége nem öregszik, hanem alapvetően nem fiatal. 16:45 Hogyan lehet egyáltalán zenéről írni? Az élményt magát írásban visszaadni nem feltétlen lehet, de az élménynek megágyazni meg lehet a szöveggel. És a zenekultúra, amiben benne élünk, akkor is, ha nem tudunk róla: John Williams, mint zseniális 19. századi szerző. 26.30 Mitől hat ránk a zene? Pogány Induló, aura és bongortól az Apa. 30:00 A zenei kánon, amit ismerünk, és ki az, aki megérdemelné, de még sincs igazán benne? Például Henry Purcell. És mi lenne velünk, ha többé nem hallgatnánk 1985 előtti zenét? Még egy zeneszerző, akit érdemes ismerni: Jan Dismas Zelenka. 34:50 A 20. század egyik legfontosabb zeneműve: John Cage 4'33-ja, és Paul McCartney új néma dala az AI ellen. És a feltételezés, hogy a klasszikus zene még mindig inkább védett övezet az AI-jal szemben, legalábbis a popzenéhez képest biztosan. 42:30 A megszelídülő popzene és a gyerekek által mutatott zenék jelentette kihívások. Az emlegetett Carson Coma-cikk, és a szintén emlegetett Jean-Baptiste Lully. A szintén szóba hozott Rosalía albumról pedig írtunk is. 49:30 Hogyan hallgassunk zenét? Zenehallgatási típusok 53:30 Három lemez és három könyv Fazekas Gergely ajánlásában: Víkingur Ólafsson - Opus 109, Concerto Copenhagen - Bach H-moll mise, és Beyoncé - Cowboy Carter, valamint David Szalay - Flesh, Biró Zsombor Aurél - Visszatérő álmom, hogy apám vállán ébredek (podcastunk a szerzővel itt), és Jón Kalman Stefánsson életműve.

En este episodio especial grabado en Valencia, fuimos testigos de algo verdaderamente mágico. Aurora, una voluntaria del público que jamás había tocado el piano en su vida, subió al escenario sin saber lo que le esperaba. Lo que ocurrió después desafía toda lógica: guiada solo por una partitura creada en el momento, Aurora tocó como si siempre hubiera sabido hacerlo. Fue uno de esos instantes inexplicables que solo pueden suceder en directo y que jamás se repetirán exactamente igual. Luis Antonio Muñoz utiliza este experimento para adentrarnos en el revolucionario trabajo de John Cage y su legendaria pieza 4'33", una composición formada únicamente por silencios. Entre reflexiones sobre el silencio de los pájaros tras la tragedia valenciana y la filosofía del compositor que se atrevió a escribir música sin notas, exploramos una pregunta inquietante: ¿dónde está realmente la magia, en la música o en nuestra forma de percibirla? Un episodio sobre señales invisibles, eventos irrepetibles y cómo a veces lo imposible simplemente... ocurre. Porque al final, como decía John Cage, el verdadero silencio no existe: solo tenemos que aprender a escuchar.

Alec and Nick complete a series of discussions on foundational music discourses — classical music, sound systems, and in this episode: musical temperment. Defining temperement as the organization of the acoustic harmonic series, applied in performance, engineering and musical epistemology, the conversation expands on historical nuances in the aesthetic, technological and cultural implications of this evolving theoretical construction over time. Anchored with a comparison of J.S. Bach's equal tempered proof-of-concept — “Well-Tempered Clavier” (1722) — and LaMonte Young's 1964 rebuttal in just intonation, “The Well-Tuned Piano” (1964), the discussion extends the broad history of temperement into the realm contemporary music and inquires into the affect of digital sound production on this discourse. Topics include: Pythagoras, autotune, Vincenzo Galelei, Harry Partch, John Cage's works for prepared piano, the evolution of the western orchestra, Indian classical music, Noise, and more.

This week on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller find themselves in Chicago with curator Bianca Bova and the indefatigable Kenny Schachter — artist, writer, teacher, collector, and provocateur. What begins as a conversation about Schachter's exhibition at Old Friends Gallery — featuring chicken-assisted artworks and bronze casts forged in Slovenia — quickly expands into a meditation on the art world itself. Schachter reflects on his collaborations, his obsession with foundries, and his refusal to keep resources secret. The group debates the zero-sum mentality of the art market, why artists sabotage themselves, and how absurd projects (sometimes with actual chickens) can be the most serious acts of art-making. Equal parts candid and comedic, the conversation cuts across auctions, art fairs, and the everyday realities of teaching. Expect reflections on generosity vs. gatekeeping, the fragility of the art system, and what it means to make art that is more conceptual than commercial. Highlights • Chickens as collaborators and muses. • The foundry in Slovenia that casts Rudolf Stingel's panels. • Why keeping fabricators secret is a sign of weakness. • Auctions as democratizing, even anarchic, art spaces. • The necessity of art in a divided and compassion-starved world.

Alec and Nick return to podcasting to discuss their special respective connections to classical music. The conversation employs a back-to-basics overview of the form: what is classical music? What is NOT classical music? What was and is it? Taking a zoomed-out approach, the episode spans the culture, mechanics, operations, and evolution of classical music: arriving at an assessment of the “audacity of its form” in relationship to the dysfunction and cosmopolitanism of contemporary society. Johann Sebastian Bach, Igor Stravinsky, Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and even … Béla Fleck & the Flecktones are all mentioned.
What can you hear in silence? In this exploration of sound, host of the podcast "Twenty Thousand Hertz" Dallas Taylor tells the story of arguably the most debated musical composition in recent history -- composer John Cage's iconic piece 4'33" -- and invites you to take notice of the soundscape around you. Watch to the end to experience a performance of 4'33".This episode originally aired on August 12, 2020.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?
