A million in gold coins has vanished from a cargo ship and a dead body washed up. Suddenly, she's in over her head. Disillusioned with her life, Betty is led astray by a charismatic new friend and finds herself exposed in more ways than one – until a crisis drags her back to reality. Living in a high-class brothel, Irene gets wind of a threat that could destroy her livelihood. She takes on the Maltese mafia and becomes involved in a dangerously sticky situation. When one of the tea ladies disappears, they face their greatest challenge yet, pushing their detective skills to the limit.

Maltese producer Rebecca Theuma's project That bb gets a makeover from Yetsuby Manda, one of half of salamanda's solo project on Wrong Island communications. There once was a creature called That BB, Who lived on the shores of Wrong Island, you see. “I Wish I Had Something To Say But I Don't,” Was the phrase that this creature would constantly flaunt. The Yetsuby came with remixes so strange, While Wrong Island Communication deranged All the messages sent by the creatures around, Resulting in quite an peculiar sound. “Oh fiddle-dee-fumble!” That BB would cry, As it danced ‘neath the purple-green spots in the sky. “My Communication is terribly wrong, I can't seem to finish this nonsensical song!” So they pranced and they prangled through dew-dabbled dawn, With Communication so curiously drawn. That BB and Yetsuby on Wrong Island stayed, In gloriously gibberish games that they played. We're premiering Yetsuby's remix of “I Wish I Had Something To Say But I Don't” from Maltese producer Rebecca Theuma's project That bb. The track comes from her upcoming EP “The Words Are Stuck In My Throat” on Wrong Island Communications, with Yetsuby (one half of Korean act Salamanda) maintaining the dreamlike original but transforming it into a skittering, drum-laden, handclap madness, wig out. One for the sunrise methinks, whether that's the end of a very long night or the start of a beautiful new day. “I wrote these songs while going through a prolonged writer's block. I had moved to another country and found myself feeling very alone and lost,” explains Theuma. “At this particular point in my life, sounds were better at explaining my inner landscape than words.” The EP will be released on the ACE Scottish-born, now Lisbon-based label Wrong Island, with artwork by Polish artist Jo Sekieta. @wrongisland

"Hagar Qim, on the south western edge of Malta, is one of the oldest built structures in the world. Over 5000 years old, this megalithic temple overlooks the dazzling blue Mediterranean. In 2008, canopies were constructed to protect these monuments from further elemental damage. Small birds, mainly sparrows, have now made their home among the high eaves of these shelters, their calls echoing through the temple. This spot is unusually far from the traffic and urban noise that dominates much of the island, and I was able to record the bird sounds as I walked up the stony cliff path towards the temple. "To me, sparrows are one of the characteristic sounds of the Maltese islands, along with the sound of the sea and the ringing of church bells, none of which you are ever far from. My piece merges my own field recordings of these three quintessential Maltese sounds with something very personal. My grandfather was a teacher and writer from Mqabba, a tiny village near Hagar Qim. When he retired, he undertook a labour of love in translating John Milton's epic poem “Paradise Lost” into Maltese. I recorded my own father, born and bred in Malta, but now sadly in ill health, reciting some of his father's translation of this famous poem telling the story of the Garden of Eden and humanity's loss of paradise, along with his own reminiscences, including his own birth in 1941 in a building called Milton House. I am aware that time is running on, and this may have been my last opportunity to work with my father on such a piece. "The final link in this chain from Malta's past to my present is my own whispered voice reading the equivalent passages from Milton's original work, which I studied as an English undergraduate many years ago, and a simple synthesiser melody referencing Bach's C major prelude/Ave Maria, a piece close to my heart which I sometimes play as a duet with my own young son. The ancient past of Malta, in the bird filled paradise of Hagar Qim, entwines with the Christian and colonial roots of the island today, Maltese and English, pagan and prayer. I dedicate this piece to my father Pio, and to my grandfather Francis Xavier."

The Patreon page offers much more content as well, including a book club that meets 4 times per year via Zoom. If you are interested in esoteric topics, please check it out! ~ Many thanks, StephanieIn 2021, Liana Saif joined the Centre for the Study of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents at the University of Amsterdam as Assistant Professor in the History of Esotericism in the Middle Ages. Liana's work focuses on Islamic esotericism and the occult sciences, with a special interest in the exchange of esoteric and occult knowledge between the Islamic and Latin inhabited lands. Her book The Arabic Influences on Early Modern Occult Philosophy was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2015. She is currently preparing a long-awaited critical translation from Arabic into English of the grimoire known as the Picatrix. A few of her research projects include the tenth-century secret brotherhood known as The Brethren of Purity, and the pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica. She also worked as a project curator at the British Museum, deepening her interest in the material and artistic manifestations of the occult and the esoteric.Liana is a founding member of the European Network for the Study of Islam and Esotericism (ENSIE). Editorial roles include being a board member for Aries: Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism and Brill's Islamic Translation Series, and an associate editor of the journal Early Science and Medicine.In this interview, Liana speaks at length about Islamic Esotericism. This is an area of esoteric history that I haven't yet touched upon, so I was happy that Liana agreed to share her extensive knowledge on this topic. Some highlights of our discussion include: why the views and discourse of Islam within the area of “Western” esotericism is problematic; academic debates and disagreements in this area, how Liana defines Islamic esotericism, including paradigms and social orientations; and why the relationship between the idea of an eternal truth and the Islamic law raises anxiety in how Islamic esotericism is interpreted. Liana also discusses her research that deals with the 17th century Maltese inquisition, in particular the trial of Sellem the Moor, a Muslim enslaved person who was accused of being a magician. This work is part of a larger volume called Magic in Malta, and Liana examines this trial on three interconnected levels, and is a down-to-earth, practical example of how magic was being used by people at this time.

La música de las raíces de los pueblos, del pueblo, es de todos, de cualquiera, porque nace de las vivencias y sentimientos humanos, que son comunes, expresados en una infinita riqueza de matices y lenguajes. Por eso podemos disfrutar y emocionarnos con las músicas auténticas de las más variadas procedencias y culturas que siempre tratamos de mostrar en Mundofonías. En esta ocasión, nuevos discos nos llevan por sones húngaros, belgas, daneses, tártaros, finlandeses, noruegos, malteses, del África occidental con conexión australiana, del África oriental con conexión londinense y cubanos. The music rooted in the traditions of the peoples, of the people, belongs to everyone, to anyone, because it arises from human experiences and emotions, which are universal, expressed through an infinite wealth of nuances and languages. That’s why we can enjoy and be moved by the genuine music from the most diverse origins and cultures, which we always strive to highlight in Mundofonías. On this occasion, new albums take us through Hungarian, Belgian, Danish, Tatar, Finnish, Norwegian, Maltese, West African with Australian connection, East African with London connection, and Cuban tunes. - Tatros Együttes - Gajcsánai kezesek - Pillanat - The Ghent Folk Violin Project - Hypomnesia - Ogopogo - Dreamers Circus - Tretur - Handed on - Lӓysӓn Ensemble of Yafarovo Village - Estiplarda eget pechen chaba - Let's get together tonight: Mishar Tatar songs from Orenburg region - Anne-Mari Kivimäki - Halo - Kotiin - Egil Kalman / Hans Hulbækmo - Arythmetics - Unit of time - Benji Cachia - 10 beats later - Akshara - Mandeng Groove - Mamadou [+ Ba Cissoko] - Conakry - Fiston Lusambo - Beyo beyo - Kabila moja - Estrellas de Buena Vista - Son para mi abuelo - Live in Havana 📸 Tatros Efyüttes (Czentye Richárd)
"The Hypogeum of Ħal Saflieni in Paola, Malta is a Neolithic subterranean structure dating from before 3000 BC. A necropolis and a place of sanctuary, it comprises several chambers carved out of the rock with primitive tools. The sophistication of its creators is evident from the intricate patterns painted in ochre on the ceilings and the entry of light from the surface, which is thought to have illuminated the façade of one of the main chambers at the winter solstice. "For the musician, of particular interest is a niche in the middle chamber, the Oracle Room, apparently created specifically to project sound throughout the Hypogeum. It has also been suggested that the structure resonates at the ‘holy frequency' of 111 Hz (actually nearer to 118 Hz, to this composer's ear), a feature shared with other Maltese temples and structures of the period. Whatever the truth of this assertion, the strong resonance in the source recording is one of the main features of Hypogeum, along with the evocation (through signal processing, predominantly granulation) of drumming and chanting, which may have figured in the rituals performed there. "Thanks to Stuart Fowkes for instigating this wonderful project, and to Dave Webb for his fantastic recording of the Hypogeum, made in August 2008. His original file (with some dynamic processing) is the only source material used in Hypogeum and is embedded more or less in full within the piece, starting at around 1:23."

Desert Sand Feels Warm at Night visited us this week on "Hot Takes"! An astoundingly skilled and popular vaporwave artist, Desert was surely the people's choice for a guest, and he did not disappoint in the slightest as we discussed all manner of subjects like Desert's social habits, hands-on application of music theory with regards to production, and his experience playing ambient music live at Slushwave 2024. Growing up in a musical household and trained in audio engineering with classical music, Desert Sand Feels Warm at Night came on the scene in the late 2010's and has since released countless sample-free slushwave albums. He has collaborated with multiple other ambient and slushwave acts and even runs a label/collective called Hallworth Collective! I don't know if we've ever had so many enthusiastic questions locked and loaded for a guest, chatting about everything from Skelly's thoughts on curating one's own sense of style to Desert's experience discovering Telepath テレパシー能力者 and Private Suite Magazine. Desert Sand Feels Warm at Night spoke to so many topics, such as using Maltese for the titles in his new collaborative album with Days of Blue, cool shirts, and the Slushwave Social Club Discord server. Don't miss his extensive thoughts about Cantopop, his beard care routine, and a very special top three album recommendation session in the intermission by previous guest Drinkyourtears.

En infiltration dans la brigade des Parcs et Jardins, Georgia fait tout pour être aux premières loges en cas de capture de l'Homme-Taupe. La Chute de Lapinville Lapin, pervers narcissique en fin de droits, raconte son retour à Lapinville et sa décision de faire un podcast pour se venger de ses anciens camarades d’école. Il est bientôt rejoint par Chloé Bloomington, star de cinéma qu’une énorme shitstorm oblige à revenir dans sa ville natale pour jouer dans une fiction quotidienne à la con. Puis, on suit l’enquête de Spiruline, astucieuse stagiaire à la mairie, qui dévoilera des scandales insoupçonnés dans les plus hautes sphères de Lapinville… Tour à tour, les Lapinvillois témoignent pour essayer de comprendre comment, une chose en entraînant une autre, ils ont fini par provoquer la destruction de la Terre. Leurs destins entremêlés forment une pelote visible de l’espace dont cette série, cinq minutes par jour, va dérouler le fil. Fresque épique et palpitante, chronique de la catastrophe en cours et de ses ramifications les plus inattendues, La Chute de Lapinville a pu être décrite comme une variante des Simpson à la sauce rond-point ou un jumeau maléfique de Plus belle la Enregistrements décembre 2023-2024 Scénario et dialogues Benjamin Abitan, Wladimir Anselme, Laura Fredducci Direction artistique Benjamin Abitan Réalisation Wladimir Anselme Assistante réalisation Anissa Zidna Musique originale Samuel Hirsch Narratrice Caroline Piette (Georgia Blette) Comédiens Charlotte Corman (Spiruline), Bernard Gabay (Georges Legroin) Denis Lavant (Dr Mollins), Claude-Bernard Perot (Labinette) Comédiens silhouettes Antoine Berry-Roger, Geert Van Herwijnen Voix générique Maltese, Milena Production ARTE Radio, ARTE Studio, Virginie Lacoste, Sahar Pirouz, Jacques Falgous Illustration Roxane Lumeret
In “What Makes Gumbo...Gumbo?” Gravy producer Katie Carter King takes us all the way to Northern California to understand what folklorist John Lauden meant when he said, “Gumbo is not a word, it's a syntax, a way of putting something together.” Cooks and culinarians have long argued about gumbo. Is it Creole or Cajun in its roots and history? Is it a soup, a stew, or some mysterious third thing? But perhaps nothing gets Southerners more heated than conversations about how you make gumbo—from the ingredients to the recipe technique, the dish has long provoked spirited debates. But in the southeast corner of San Francisco, one man has become known as Mr. Gumbo, and he's not looking to pick a fight, but rather start a conversation. Mr. Gumbo—also known as chef Dontaye Ball—grew up making gumbo with his grandmother. But after she passed away and he took helm of the family's gumbo tradition, Dontaye began to realize the limitations of a single pot of gumbo. The seafood-centric recipe he'd long made accidentally excluded many of his loved ones: vegans, vegetarians, folks with shellfish allergies. So, he decided to cook up something new, something a bit unorthodox. He created a gumbo bar, complete with all the delicious possibilities his friends and family could dream up, including both different soup bases and different accouterments. A recurring event sprung to life, quickly morphing from holiday party to block party to pop-up business. Growing up, community was always at the forefront of Dontaye's mind. His grandmother centered serving the community in her cooking. Dontaye was raised in the Bayview, a sunny, geographically isolated neighborhood that has been the last corner of the city to gentrify. Once home to Maltese farmers and Chinese shrimpers, the area became home to thousands of Black workers who migrated following the eruption of World War II. A tight-knit community formed, one that took care of its own. While Dontaye had never planned on opening a full restaurant, when a space became open on a prominent corner in his own neighborhood, he saw how much possibility gumbo could offer—and knew he couldn't say no. In this episode, Katie Carter King learns about Dontaye's path to becoming a restaurateur and community leader. Additionally, geographer and UC Santa Cruz professor Lindsey Dillon helps situate the Gumbo Social story in the larger landscape of Bayview and San Francisco's Black residents and culture.
