This is a mix created to share via Justseeds artists' cooperative. This mix features mostly local Montreal artists, particularly musicians, who have been involved in the intersections of social movements and the arts. I have selected a series of live recordings from local concerts where these connections were explored. You will particularly hear recordings from local shows supported by CKUT 90.3FM campus / community radio that were part of the Artists Against Apartheid series, which launched around the time that the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement to support Palestinian human rights was announced internationally. Also there are many artists in this mix who have been deeply involved in migrant justice movements, particularly around community organizations like the Immigrant Workers Centre and campaigns emerging from networks like Solidarity Across Borders. I share this mix as a longtime friend and collaborator with many artists within the Justseeds network, thank you for listening. – Stefan Christoff Track listing (artist name / track name) 01.

What is sound design? This is the question Miranda Eastwood, current Sound Designer of The SpokenWeb Podcast, is looking to find out. Exploring soundscapes of all shapes and forms, Miranda draws from interviews with friends, colleagues, and academics, as well as Caroline Levine's Forms: Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network to tackle this particularly tangled question. From sonic literature to audio walks, podcasting to music, this episode is a deep dive into what it means to “sound out” any and all audio texts, and the affective power afforded to sound as a medium of art and communication.

Transcriptions of podcasts provide visual renderings of audio that increase accessibility. But what are the best practices for transcribing a podcast, specifically a podcast about literary audio? In this episode, Katherine McLeod of ShortCuts and Kelly Cubbon, transcriber of The SpokenWeb Podcast, explore the role of transcription in the making of podcasts and how responsible transcription unfolds through collaboration and conversation. In fact, their episode uncovers just how much transcription is collaboration and conversation.Part One starts with reflections from Katherine and Kelly about how they came to the work of transcription and key concepts that have influenced their thinking throughout the process of making this episode, such as accessibility and ableism. This section also features an interview with Dr. Maya Rae Oppenheimer, a studio arts professor at Concordia University and a regular user of podcast transcripts.Part Two consists of an interview with Judith Burr, the Season 3 SpokenWeb Podcast supervising producer and project manager, about generative challenges that have come up during collaboration on podcast transcription for the podcast and how decision making has evolved over time.And Part Three is an interview with Bára Hladík, a poet, writer, and multimedia artist, about the convergence of disability, accessibility, technology, and poetics. Here, Bára discusses the healing possibilities of sound and the creative potential of transcripts.SpokenWeb is a monthly podcast produced by the SpokenWeb team as part of distributing the audio collected from (and created using) Canadian Literary archival recordings found at universities across Canada.

On ShortCuts this month, producer Katherine McLeod talks with poet, novelist, and sound performer Kaie Kellough about a memorable recording from The Words & Music Show. What are we listening to? Kellough upacks what we are listening to — which turns out to be a highly technical, performative, and polyphonic sonic object, along with it being an early version of a passage from his Griffin Prize-winning book of poetry, Magnetic Equator. Listen to this ShortCuts for the story behind one archival recording, and what this story reveals about how we remember the feelings infused within live performance.

Once relegated to the literary fringes, dub poet Lillian Allen has inspired countless CAnadian writers. A new book shows why.
“Is it my greed? Is it my greed that propels me to behave like this? How do I learn to share? Is it my fear? Is it my fear that propels me to behave like this? How do I learn to not be afraid of the unknown?” Writing as Patriarchy Misogyny, anitafrika reflects on how this character sees his domain under threat in the face of constant resistance. In an address to the Global Village, Patriarchy Misogyny muses on how his norms have been constructed and upheld, and the contested terrain on which they rest—testifying to the inspirational progress of feminist, queer and trans, and anti-racist movements. “Artists-in-Presidents” is initiated by Constance Hockaday, curated by Christine Shaw, and commissioned by The Blackwood (University of Toronto Mississauga). Podcast production by Vocal Fry. Transmissions are released every Friday from August 6–December 17, 2021.

Visiting from Montreal, Kaie Kellough drops by to chat with RC about sound poetry, race, and growing up in Calgary.
The On Edge readings series presents: Kaie Kellough and Cornelia Hoogland. Kaie Kellough is a Montréal word-sound systemizer. He is the author of Lettricity (Cumulus, 2004), and Maple Leaf Rag (Arbeiter Ring, 2010), which was nominated for the Manuela Dias design award. Kaie is the voice of one sound recording, Vox:Versus (WOW, 2011), a suite of conversations between voice and instrument. Kaie's print and sound work is underwritten by rhythm and by a desire to dis-and re-assemble language and meaning. Kaie's work emerges where voice, language, music, and text intersect. He blends word-games with sound poetry, dub, and jazzoetry. He has performed and published internationally and is presently working on short fiction, on poems that say goodbye, and on new sound works. Cornelia Hoogland launched two books of poetry in 2011: Woods Wolf Girl (Wolsak & Wynn), and Crow (Black Moss Press). Her poems have appeared in the anthologies Regreen: New Canadian Ecological Poetry, Madhur Anand and Adam Dickinson (Your Scrivener Press, Sudbury, ON, 2009) and Open Wide a Wilderness: Canadian Nature Poems, Nancy Holmes (WLU Press, 2009). In 2008 Hoogland published poems in The River Project: 19 London Artists Turn to the Thames -- a book where artists re-imagined their relationship to the Thames River flowing through London. Forthcoming publications include Sound Ecology in the Woods: Red Riding Hood takes an Audio Walk, in the volume Essays in Performance & Ecology, (Eds. Wendy Arons and Theresa May, NY:NY, Palgrave). Woods Wolf You: A soundwalk, Cornelia's current project, incorporates the processes of poetry and storytelling with digital sound/audio technology, in order to provide participants with a heightened experience of the woods (and wolves) in Stanley Park in Vancouver.
