Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Kenneth Patchen wrote this poem sometime before the middle of the 20th century, but it seemed so apt today that I felt that I had to sing it as a statement for the end of our year. The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 800 of these combinations, and you can hear all of them and read about our experiences with the words at the Project's archives and blog located at frankhudson.org

1. mai 2022 begynner poeten og gjendikteren Øyvind Berg å skrive denne litterære dagboka, og han avslutter 31. juli. "Sommeren med Balder" handler om Dina og Øyvind og den store gjeterhunden de har skaffet seg. Av nødvendighet handler det også om krigen i Ukraina, som framkaller minner fra Bosniakrigens Sarajevo, hvor Dina vokste opp. Og det handler om å føle seg hjemme i en fremmed tradisjon, som den japanske haikudiktningen. Men mest av alt handler det om å finne lys i livet, om humor, og om å åpne seg for det som lever. «Sommeren med Balder» er en bok skrevet med vemod, begeistring og livsglede. Øyvind Berg (f. 1959) debuterte med diktsamlingen Retninger i 1982. Siden har han utgitt en lang rekke diktsamlinger, essays, skuespill og gjendiktninger. Fra 1986 til oppløsningen i 2011 var han et markant medlem i teatergruppa Baktruppen. I 2013 ga han ut Stećci. Ikke rot med knoklene mine. Bosniske gravskrifter 1200–1500 sammen med Dina Abazović. Bergs romandebut Roseromanen utkom i 2019 til strålende kritikker. Samme år mottok han Gyldendalprisen for sitt samlede forfatterskap. Øyvind Berg har gjendiktet Brecht, Paul Celan, Kenneth Patchen, Ezra Pound, Per Højholt, Heiner Müller og William Shakespeare.

A great practitioner, publisher and defender of poetry was Lawrence Ferlinghetti. He passed away just shy of his 102nd birthday earlier this year. Born in Yonkers, New York in 1919, his education was paused for World War II and Atlantic and Pacific tours in the U.S. Navy. He witnessed firsthand the ruins of Nagasaki after the atomic bombing in 1945. He became a committed voice for peace and social justice. Ferlinghetti co-founded the country's first all-paperback bookstore, City Lights Books in San Francisco in 1955. Bay area poets Kenneth Patchen and Kenneth Rexroth, then Denise Levertov and Allen Ginsberg appeared under the City Lights imprint. The small press got national attention when Ferlinghetti and his partner were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing Ginsberg's poem Howl. The People of the State of California v. Lawrence Ferlinghetti proved an important victory for freedom of expression over censorship laws. Ferlinghetti had anarchist leanings. He remained politically committed through his art, and to liberation movements in Latin America especially.

In typical Ink Heist fashion, this episode was filled with plenty of laughs and I'm pretty sure the three of us had hurt stomachs from laughing so hard. It was a wide-ranging conversation that covered a ton of random topics and we think you'll find plenty of new artists to check out and some helpful writing tips. Just a few of the things we talked about this episode was the work of Kenneth Patchen, if we think about genre when we write, recommendations outside of the Horror genre, what type of fan-fiction we'd write, and more. We had a blast recording this episode and it's always fun when the three of us get together and just hang out. We hope you enjoy the episode and maybe discover some new artists.

Today’s program takes a look at how poems may consider the idea of “happiness” and how some poets may write “happy” poems. The focus, in that consideration, is that happiness may have to do with a sense of contentment. In that light, “happy” poems may reflect a certain contentment in a certain circumstance at a certain time.  That is today’s foundational theme.  I read poems by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kenneth Patchen, Gary Snyder (by way of Eliot’s “Little Gidding”), Katia Mitova, Arisa White, and Gina Athena Ulysse that resonate with such momentary contentment – with happiness – and I end with a poem of my own that presents a similar theme.

Shock World Service 044 Electronic Snowflakes by Jon Averill 25/12/11 Dublin, Ireland 1. Bjork - Overture It became clear to me early on that a lot of the music I had earmarked for this podcast had only the most tenuous connection to the theme. 2. New David - Radioland One thing I've learned about covers of Kraftwerk tracks over the years is they're mostly crap. Not this. 3. Kenneth Patchen - So Be It A wonderfully forbidding work by Kenneth Patchen. His own reading only serves to enhance its sense of authority. 4. Keith Fullerton Whitman - Generator 3; Keith follows his obsession with "the tenets of Process music & Systems music" 5. Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmastime Is Here (Alternative Version) The first track which could be called an outright ‘Christmas song' is from Vince Guaraldi. Vince composed & preformed the music to the Peanuts/Charlie Brown cartoons from which this is taken. It provides a suitable nod to the season without Slade or Sir Cliff in sight. 6. µ-Ziq - Hasty Boom Alert Swiftly back to the ‘tracks that remind of Christmas but have no connection whatsoever' box. ‘Hasty Boom Alert' is first rate melodic clatter and bash from µ-Ziq. Taken from his album ‘Lunatic Harness' which I may or may not own. 7. Speedy J - Hayfever Speedy J was behind some stunning techno releases in the mid 90's before stepping back somewhat to make quieter music. 8. Moscow New Choir - Pushkin's Garland Nothing evokes the holiday spirit more than a choir from a cold country, nothing. 9. The Hacker - Electronic Snowflakes I've never been a big fan of The Hacker. This is ok. 10. Max de Wardener - Snowflakes An accompaniment piece to the previous track. Complementing The Hacker's electronic gurglings with more traditional instrumentation. 11. The Cure - Primary Before things get too peaceful and you drift off here are The Cure in their visceral prime. 12. Visage - Whispers From a distance Visage always seemed like something of a novelty act. ‘Fade To Grey' has had all its power and mystic drained away from inclusion on multiple drive-time 80's collections but if you dig deeper they have a handful of really innovative pioneering tracks. 13. Creative Control - Me & My Drums Creative Control rework ‘Little Drummer Boy' 14. Lord Buckley - People Another whimsical rant from the one true lord, Lord Buckley, an indomitable exponent of the importance of people over deities. 15. Tom Waits - Clap Hands I won't lie, I don't know why Tom Waits whiskey & sandpaper voice reminds of Christmas but it does. Cian Ó Cíobháin used a Tom Waits track on his Christmas podcast also so there must be something in this? 16. The Andrew Oldham Orchestra - Play With Fire The Andrew Oldham Orchestra are most famous these days as the act whom The Verve sampled for the string refrain on ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony. 17. Wendy Rané - After Laughter Some may recognise this as the backbone to Wu Tang Clan's ‘Tearz'. 18. The Kingston Trio - Last Month Of The Year Are we the only ones or does the intro remind you of Jape's ‘Floating'? This is 60's folk vintage from the ever so clean-cut Kingston Trio. 19. Soft Cell - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (12” Mix) Increasingly this time of year is about people returning, myself included from their various outposts around the world before departing just as rapidly. 20. John Baker - Christmas Commercial This short concluding motif comes from John Baker, a key member of The BBC Radiophonic Workshop who produced some stunning and still highly sought after electronic music in the 60's & 70's.

Shortly before he died in 1986, my father was interviewed I think by the Today Show on NBC. At that time, he justified his policy of never withdrawing a record title from the complete two thousand plus collection by saying: “would you take the letter J out of the dictionary merely because it is used less frequently than the letter S?” Well, I thought I would base this show on that idea. Here we have a show in celebration of the letter J. We will cover songs, music from countries, artists, instruments and sounds which all begin with the letter J.
