Bergson was an early proponent of the absolute importance of context when trying to understand nature. This is nowhere more apparent than in the world of music, where the rhythm, interval, and mode of the songs being played creates wildly different sensations even when the same pure tones are in play. Bagby has extensive experience with novel musical instruments, strange tunings, and alternative scales, which he deploys as evidence of Bergson's deep insights in the nature of perception and reality.

In this episode of Dark Overtones, Kurt seeks to explore the symbols that inspired this very podcast -- the runes and symbols embedded in Ari Aster's horror masterpiece, Midsommar. Throughout the film, Aster places runes of Elder Futhark at key points, from the barracks where the main characters sleep to the cliff from which the Harga elders leap to their deaths. It seems that these symbols may have deeper meaning in the plot of the movie and its characters. In this episode, Kurt speaks with expert rune reader Wayne Brekke, as well as one of his best friends (and tarot expert) Becca Fanali to explore that possibility. This episode also includes a special event -- an actual rune reading for one of my guests, to expand the meaning of the runes from our interpretation of Midsommar to my guest's life and history. The runes cast for this reading can be seen at this link.You can see all the Elder Futhark runes discussed in this episode here.Wayne Brekke is a Renaissance man in every sense of the word. A man of many talents, Wayne is an expert rune reader (mentored by Kaedrich Olsen), with a concerted knowledge on Elder Futhark and the interpretations of the runes within it. Wayne's rune work (and other work) can be found all over the place, including his podcast Rune Ways (available on Spotify, Apple, and anywhere you get podcasts) and his YouTube channel of the same name. Wayne is also an unapologetic decades-long RPG fan, evidenced by his fantastic website, Dungeon Crate.Rebecca Fanali is a licensed acupuncturist, expert in herbal medicine, and practitioner of different elements of witchcraft. Becca has a long history of interest in the metaphysical, leading her to perform tarot readings and nature-centered rituals and practices. Though not a fan of labels, Becca has an encyclopedic knowledge of issues related to witchcraft, with a particular interest in human connection to nature.Apologies for the few audio changes throughout the episode; they're due to changing devices. Don't worry, you don't lose any of that sweet forbidden knowledge related to Midsommar.All audio clips were taken from Midsommar itself, property of Square Peg Films, B-Reel Films, and A24 Films, all rights reserved.
This week, Kurt briefly discusses how the world messes up his best-laid episode plans. Unfortunately, as a researcher of political violence, the complete [looks up the scientific term] shitshow of the last week has forced him to field questions and advise on issues related to security.Fear not, though, dear listener! Next week, a new episode returns, along with announcements related to social media presence for Dark Overtones as well as how YOU can get involved with the podcast. I don't want to spoil anything, but your input is going to become part and parcel of the pod in the coming seasons. Yes... there will be future series. Your enthusiasm has made this passion project all the more fun.So, until next week, maybe watch a classic horror movie you enjoy. Anything to get your mind off the general chaos of.... well...[generally points at everything]

In the second episode of Series 1, Kurt delves into the 2015 pressure cooker, The Invitation. Part awkward dinner party, part reverse home invasion, part cultish terror, The Invitation challenges us to consider the psychology of grief and how to remain polite... even if we suspect our hosts want us dead.In this episode, I am joined by Mary Wild, who is kind enough to come back after Episode 100, in which she helps review all the films I cover in this first series. I am also joined by my brother Eric Braddock, who is just as big a horror fan as I am.Mary Wild is the creator of the Projections lecture series, applying psychoanalysis to film interpretation.

We spent many years in our family home watching scary movies and pretending not to be scared by Pennywise or Zelda from Pet Sematary. He is also the only one that can match my skill in Mega Man 2.
CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of rape and sexual violence is prevalent throughout this episode.In the first real episode of Dark Overtones, Kurt is joined by two communication professors from Baylor University, Leslie Hahner and Scott Varda, to discuss It Follows. Countless articles on It Follows interpreted it as a story about STDs/STIs; but Hahner and Varda have a different interpretation - one that highlights the sexual violence that perpetuates the curse and the trauma of those affected. In this discussion, we dive into how "It" can be much darker than it seems upon first watch...Dr. Leslie Hahner is a Professor in the Department of Communication at Baylor University, where she researches how different texts (including horror films) intersect with pop culture and help us interpret the world around us. You can visit her faculty page here.Dr. Scott Varda is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication, also at Baylor University. Scott researchers how movies can shape our cultural understanding of race, class, gender, and other social categories. His faculty page is also available, and you can find it here.The article this episode is based on can be found in Volume 40, Issue 3 of the journal Women's Studies in Communication. The full article citation is:Hahner, L., & Varda, S. (2017). It Follows and rape culture: Critical response as disavowal. Women's Studies in Communication, 40(3), 251-269.
In the first episode of Dark Overtones, Kurt is joined by Freudian psychologist and horror expert Mary Wild to discuss the 12 films to be covered in the first series of Dark Overtones. The films to be discussed (in brief, with no spoilers!) are: The Witch, It Follows, The Invitation, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, It Comes at Night, Get Out, A Dark Song, Hereditary, Mandy, Midsommar, Pet Sematary, and Saint Maud. The "Horror Renaissance" gave us adult scares, and stuck in our minds well after we left the theater.

It's not everyday you meet someone with a heart like Jay James. The X Factor finalist, one quarter of platinum-selling group The Overtones, songwriter, radio presenter, artist manager and former Royal Navy physical trainer, it's fair to say that Jay has experienced a lot of what life has offer. Jay's first introduction to type 1 diabetes had come early in 2022 when he started to manage singer and fellow type 1 diabetic Tom Ball, after he shot to recognition on Britain's Got Talent. But nothing could have prepared Jay's family for the shock of his son Franklin's rollercoaster type 1 diabetes diagnosis just a few months later. There's a lot of emotion in this episode, as Jay openly admits to still processing not only the diagnosis itself but the longevity of the condition and what it means for Franklin, now 4. But there's an incredible amount of hope too, as between the dad guilt, the grief and the pressure to get things right, Jay continues to lead with heart while taking a practical approach to making things better - not only for his family, but for others in the community. And today, Jay is launching mydiabetesstory.org to do just that - a platform designed to bring people together and show the power of community.

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”Bowles and PrattThis is the third part in a series looking at two separate encounters in Winchester, England, with UFOs and humanoids reported by two friends, 42-year-old Joyce Bowles and 58-year-old Ted Pratt. They reported that as Bowles was driving with Pratt in the passenger seat prior to their first encounter, Bowles's Cooper Mini Clubman travelled diagonally as if it was floating after the steering wheel locked, and the car came to a rest on a strip of grass (known as a “verge” in England) next to the road. They said they then saw a craft hovering 18 inches above the ground with 3 humanoids behind a window or windows sitting lined up as if they were on a bus. A creature left the craft, possibly by walking through it, came up to the car, and seemed to have put its hand on the roof as it looked in Bowles's window. It was said to have been wearing what looked like a silver “boiler suit” and to have had long hair that curled up in the back, sideburns that came down to a pointed beard, and brilliant red eyes with no pupils or irises. They said that during their second encounter, they found themselves standing next to Bowles's car inside what they assumed was a spaceship. The creatures spoke with them, said they weren't there to invade and that they'd be back. Their case got the interest of researchers from various organizations and there is one article examining it in the March/April 1977 BUFORA Journal and FOUR articles in the February 1977, Vol. 22, No. 5 Flying Saucer Review. In the course of the investigation, it came out that there were after-effects and that Bowles had a history of reported paranormal experiences and well as healing and psychic abilities. One of the researchers, Lionel Beer, reported in his article in the BUFORA Journal that Bowles's history made him dubious, but he and the others didn't discount her claims, possibly due to the influence the ideas of John Keel and Jacques Vallée were having on researchers at the time. Leslie Harris makes a reference to Vallée's 1969 book “Passport to Magonia” in his article covering the case in Flying Saucer Review.

In last week's blog, we looked at a case involving two friends, 42-year-old Joyce Bowles and 58-year-old Ted Pratt, who reported an encounter on November 14, 1976, in Winchester, England. They claimed they saw a cigar-shaped craft hovering 18 inches above the ground with three humanoids, sitting lined up as if they were on a bus, visible behind a window or windows. One creature was said to have left the craft, possibly by passing through it, and then to have walked towards Bowles and Pratt, who were sitting in Bowles's Cooper Mini Clubman. The creature was described as human-looking, with long hair that curled up in the back and sideburns that went down to a pointed beard, but its eyes were said to be “piercing pink” with no pupils or irises. Bowles said when she looked away from them, she saw spots as if she had been looking at the sun. The case got the interest of many researchers, mostly from the British UFO Research Association. There is one article (page 12 of the pdf) covering it in the March/April 1977 BURORA Journal, and four in the Volume 22, Number 5, 1976 Flying Saucer Review, published in February 1977. What makes this case unique is that it involves two witnesses who described two encounters. This week we're looking at the second encounter described.

On November 15, 1976, 42-year-old Joyce Bowles, and her 58-year-old friend, Ted Pratt, appeared on the BBC television program South Today. They were interviewed about their reported encounters with UFOs and humanoids the night before. Their case got the interest of researchers from various organizations and there are FOUR articles examining it in the February 1977, Vol. 22, No. 5 Flying Saucer Review: an article by Bournemouth Unexplained Phenomena Research Group Investigator Leslie Harris headlined “UFO & Silver-Suited Entity Seen Near Winchester,” an article by British UFO Research Association Investigator Richard Nash that consists mostly of a transcription of a tape recorded interview with Bowles and Pratt conducted by Nash, “Questions and Comments on the Nash Interview” by BUFORA Research Coordinator Jenny Randles, and an article by BUFORA Investigator Frank J. Wood based on two reports prepared by him headlined “Alleged CE-III at Winchester: Vehicle Examination,” with the subheading “Together with a few other matters of interest.” There is also an article by Lionel Beer in the March/April BUFORA Journal headlined “The Winchester Encounters. There are several sensational claims in this case, and while it is based on the testimony of two witnesses, Mrs. Bowles had a history of reporting other paranormal encounters, which caused some doubt among researchers. However, Jacques Vallée's 1969 book, Passport to Magonia, had an impact on the thinking of researchers at that time, as did the work of John Keel, an FSR contributor, and an increasing number were considering the idea that UFOs might be more paranormal in nature than physical craft being piloted by extraterrestrials.Read more →This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5922140/advertisement

Creating music on acoustic instruments (ones that don't require electricity to produce the sound) are operating on properties of physics. Sound waves have attributes, and each pitch on an actual instrument is producing multiple sound waves at once, with the fundamental (the sound you actually hear) and overtones, which create resonance. Overtones are inaudible unless you isolate them, which you can do on most instruments. This is a topic that intimidates a lot of musicians, but it's important to try to dive in. It not opens your mind to new instrumental effects, but it helps you understand the secrets to creating RICH harmony, and explains why some chord choices just don't work as well as others.

Le Guess Who? presents 'The Big Playback', a conversational, in-depth podcast about all things music. Episode 3 is a four-part series entitled For the Record, exploring the role of the archivist from all angles, released in weekly installments.In this series, host Margaret Munchheimer talks to an independent archival collective in Indonesia; a sound and performance scholar decolonizing sound archives; a journalist turned label founder offering alternative histories of the global South; and a producer/dj using archival material as a springboard for musical collaborations in the here and now.While it may seem like a coincidence, we must remember that ‘records' are in fact, just that: records- documents… testimonials. They're meant to capture a moment, to tell a story. Which if you think about it, makes every record collector an archivist of sorts. The question is just how much the collector shapes the work in how they present it-the story of course is in the hands of the storyteller.Part 2: meLê yamomomeLê yamomo lived in Manila, Seoul, Bangkok, Warwick, and Munich, and now inhabits Amsterdam and Berlin researching, teaching, and creating performance/theatre and sound/music. Through his personal experience as an academic and an artist of color, navigating a white world of classification and knowledge production, he offers insight into how intrinsically white value systems are assigned to cultural objects and practices, shedding some light on ways to rethink this.He is Assistant Professor of Theatre, Performance, and Sound Studies (University of Amsterdam), the author of Sounding Modernities: Theatre and Music in Manila and the Asia Pacific, 1869-1946 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), and project leader and principal investigator of the projects »Sonic Entanglements« and Decolonizing Southeast Asian Sound Archives (DeCoSEAS). meLê is resident artist at Theater Ballhaus Naunynstrasse where his creations Echoing Europe, sonus, and Forces of Overtones are on repertoire. meLê also curates the Decolonial Frequences Festival and hosts the Sonic Entanglements podcast. In his works as artist-scholar, meLê engages the topics of sonic migrations, queer aesthetics, and post/de-colonial acoustemologies.Host of 'The Big Playback' is Margaret Munchheimer, an American visual artist and writer living in the Netherlands, and veteran Le Guess Who? supporter since 2012.CreditsProduction: Margaret Munchheimer & Le Guess Who?Audio Post- Production: Francisco MarujoArtwork: Marishka Soekarna

So this is it, ladies and gents, the episode where we discuss the piece for which this podcast was named and the composer that wrote it: William Schuman and his Symphony No. 10 ‘American Muse'! The man literally got letters in the mail telling him either how awful his music was, OR how it had changed someone's life. Were he still alive today, I would absolutely send him a physical letter thanking him for so dramatically effecting my life. Ironically, I did in fact send his two children, Andrea and Anthony, physical letters to ask for their permission to use the music you just heard at the beginning of this podcast! Anyway, let's talk about this man and his fantastic compositions.###Background- I first heard music by William Schuman when I was an eager young musician in middle school. I listened to his Symphony No. 5, performed by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic string section, recorded on a vinyl record (I kid you not). The opening bars explode with energy and melodic creativity unlike I had ever heard. It was forceful, bold, full of life. It drew me in and to this day has not let go. From that moment I knew I had to know more about this man and his music. He and his music are a large part of the reason I began this podcast, my blog, and my book to be released next year, _Secrets of American Orchestral Music_.####Bio- One of the first things one learns about Schuman is the story of how he came to be a composer in the first place. He did play bass in a dance band, but never considered it very serious. Then he went to a concert at Carnegie Hall and heard the New York Philharmonic, conducted by the great Arturo Toscanini. He was so blown away by the performance he said "I was overwhelmed. I had never heard anything like it. The very next day, I decided to become a composer." So, he dropped out of New York University, quit his job, enrolled at the Malkin Conservatory of music to study composition, and a short 5 years later he graduated from Columbia University. Who knew it could be so easy? While this anecdotal story is humorous, it accurately shows a key characteristic of Schuman's personality. He is an optimist, endlessly curious, and has a child-like approach to new endeavors. He is also steadfast and resolute in his values, many times refusing to compromise his artistic work or arts administration efforts. - Though not all of William Schuman's biographical history is pertinent here, some key positions and career events as well as insight into his composition process help to contextualize the unique nature of the man and his music. One fortuitous happenstance came at the beginning of his journey to become a composer. In 1930, primed by having just attended his first orchestral concert, Schuman saw a sign for the Malkin Conservatory, walked in, and according to him “registered for a course in harmony because he had heard somewhere that composers begin by studying harmony.” This placed him with Max Persin, a teacher more interested in discovering the intricacies of each individual piece rather than regurgitating from quote “a textbook of dull orthodoxy.” Not long after earning a teaching degree from the Columbia University Teachers College, Schuman carved out a teaching and administrative position at Sarah Lawrence College. The way in which this came about is characteristic of Schuman's free-form thinking and commitment to the highest quality in any endeavor he undertook. Schuman convinced the president and Faculty Advisory Committee on Appointments at Sarah Lawrence to make him the quote "one man... coordinator, working from a single focal point" on a new set of freshman focused courses. Schuman connected with the faculty and administration at Sarah Lawrence on a philosophical level, influenced by the progressive education movement of John Dewey and the concept that "making knowledge one's own was the central goal of education…” This desire for individuality and freedom from convention carried over into Schuman's composing. Keenly aware of contemporary trends, Schuman casts the "emergence of a contemporary tonal language" in the twentieth century as "a musical revolution." Referring to contemporary composers (presumably including himself), Schuman posits “[t]he process of seeking a way of creating fresh sounds is a natural one for a truly creative musician. It may be conscious or subconscious, or both. But whatever the process, the result is innovation in musical speech." Even Copland recognized the boldness of Schuman's work, describing it as "music of tension and power," and expounding on his rhythmic writing as "so skittish and personal, so utterly free and inventive."- Schuman's commitment to his own musical and educational standards resulted in his being tapped as president of Juilliard in 1945. Schuman was reluctant to even consider the post because, as Steve Swayne puts it in his biographic work _Orpheus in Manhattan_, “[h]e could see no possible marriage between Juilliard's hidebound, rote education and the progressive, student-oriented approach that he enjoyed at Sarah Lawrence." Partly due to this honesty expressed to Juilliard's board of directors, Schuman was offered and eventually accepted the position. As a sign of the school's desire for change, Schuman immediately made drastic alterations to the Juilliard curriculum and faculty. One program he spearheaded is particularly of note here. Showing his independent thinking and will to move forward, Schuman explains his educational philosophy:> The first requisite for a musician in any branch of the art is that he be a virtuoso listener. It has been a student who is adept at the writing of melodic dictation may be incapable of listening to a symphonic composition with an understanding of its design. In other words, an ability to hear the component parts of the language of music… does not ipso facto mean integrated understanding--an understanding that can only be achieved when the whole work is clearly viewed as the sum of these parts... In an effort to replace conventional theory with more meaningful studies, the Juilliard School has discontinued its Theory Department and added to its curriculum a new department--Literature and Materials of Music.- This is the kind of ideology Schuman applied to his composition and administrative roles. In a 1986 interview, Schuman illustrates the interconnected nature of all his endeavors: "composition has been the continuum of my life's work, but it's been by no matter of means my sole pursuit. I would never be happy just being a composer. I've always wanted and needed to do other things of a general societal nature."####Culture- Even through his compositional process, Schuman shows his independent thinking. Intending not to be bound by the limitations of both his piano skill and of the instrument itself, according to a biography written by Vincent Persichetti, Schuman "writes for the instruments of the orchestra directly... sings the parts at the top of his lungs... because his music is essentially melodic... He does, however, use the piano for new vocabulary departures; that is, for experimentation.”- One more quote by Schuman from 1977, helps summarize his philosophy on the balance of artistic honesty and the ambition needed for such a high profile career he had to that point:> I would like to be loved through my music, as anybody would be. But I recognized that this was not necessarily to be the case, and it would be much better to be despised and write what you want than to be loved and write what you didn't want.… I was asked that question just the other day [in February 1977] … “Why—when you write these difficult symphonies that hardly anybody ever plays, and you can write the New England Triptych or orchestrate Ives' Variations on America—why don't you write a holiday overture that would make you a lot of money and would be played a lot?”- Hopefully the continued reverence of Schuman's music will suffice as an answer to that question.- Schuman's symphonic output is quite varied, ranging from symphonies and concertos to ballet and opera. Schuman got the most mileage out of his symphonies, and he admittedly put most of his focus on their creation. Schuman's symphonies are most representative of all his compositional work, even by his own statements in an interview with Overtones: > “It never occurred to me not to write symphonies... I like every medium in music when I'm working on it… [but] I believe that as long as writers write long and complicated novels, composers are going to write in the symphonic forms, because they give an opportunity that nothing else gives.”- Schuman wrote 10 numbered symphonies, though he “withdrew” the first two.###Analysis of piece####Overall scope- Now to Symphony No. 10, the ‘American Muse' itself.- The recorded excerpts you will hear today are from a 2005 NAXOS recording of the Seattle Symphony conducted by Maestro Gerard Schwarz, a dear friend of this podcast.- Written and premiered in 1976, this symphony was commissioned for the American Bicentennial by the National Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Antal Dorati. - The work is in 3 movements: Con Fuoco, Larghissimo, and the third movement goes through many different speeds, but does begin and end with a Presto.- The orchestration is outrageously large: 4 flutes, 3 oboes, English horn, Eb clarinet, 3 Bb clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 6 horns, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, tuba, percussion that calls for 4 players, timpani, piano, harp, celesta, and strings. Whew! None of this would have been surprising coming from Schuman at that point, but even today that is quite a task to take on.####Excerpts- The opening fanfare sets a tone of muscularity, optimism as Schuman might put it...- And then gives way to a mostly brass chorale, punctuated by moments of woodwind interaction.- Not long after, we have a section of what we call homorhythm. This is when all or large portions of the orchestra are playing the same active rhythms, but not the same notes, in fact they are usually quite dissonantly contrasting notes. It is a powerful effect as Schuman builds a great deal of tension. In this excerpt there is a short unison of homorhythm followed by 2 independent layers.- After spending this entire movement in tonic disarray, giving a bit of tonal center, but then taking it away with swaths of dissonance, Schuman suddenly takes an about face at the end and we get, at first, blips of tonal, recognizable chords, before a final Eb major chord grabs hold and blares to the end as if we had been in that bright, happy key all along!- I LOVE that moment!- The second movement, Larghissimo, is a work of beauty, but you have to stick with it. Schuman lets his slow movements develop as organically as possible from the simplest of musical aspects. Here, he begins basically with a chord cluster, again moving only in homorhythmic motion, and very slowly at first. While the violas and then cellos take the lyrical line, which again does not change very much at all, but makes big glissando jumps when it does.- Then what follows is an iconic Schuman sound if there ever was one, I swear I could pick this writing out from any other composer on the planet. The violins slowly expand a high, and still higher reaching, melodic line over chromatically moving chordal movement in the violas and cellos, and just as the line starts to peak, he opens up the sound more, then again as another peak comes, he adds horns... and on and on, one layer after another. It is a long section, but here is a fairly representative moment. 『- And again, just like in the first movement, though this movement isn't quite so tonally wandering, he lets out all the tension, leaves off with a question mark... and gives us a big, fat, juicy Eb major chord!- The final movement, beginning Presto, starts a series of homorhythmic sections, first strings alone, then trading off with the woodwinds. The activity begins with much space, but quickly becomes lively, almost furious! 『- One element we had yet to come across was Schuman's craftiness with a fugue. Finally, in the last symphonic movement he ever wrote, in order to build up as much energy and tension as possible, Schuman writes a complex double fugue. This is not a tightly formed, rule-following Bach-like fugue you would expect, but most of the elements you would expect are there. It gives him the chance to push forward and pull back at will. One theme is very active, harmonically and rhythmically, while the other is long held out notes with little movement.- Now you must be wondering if and when we get that Eb major chord we've gotten at the end of every other movement. We do! And in similar fashion, Schuman prefaces it with heavy dissonance and confusion. This time, though, the final brilliant chord arrives and finishes in full fanfare. Instant standing ovation!###Closing- Beyond composition, Schuman taught at Sarah Lawrence College, served as president of the Juilliard School, facilitated it's move into the newly built Lincoln Center, founded the Juilliard String Quartet, served as president of Lincoln Center itself, and won 2 Pulitzer Prizes and the National Medal of Arts. Many people desire to change or effect the world in some way. William Schuman did that and more during his time. As long as we perform or hear his music, he still does.Music:Symphony No. 10By: William SchumanPerformed by: Gerard Schwarz; Seattle Symphony OrchestraCourtesy of Naxos of America, Inc.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-muse-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
This week, Jaime, Kelley, and Elaina discuss the excessive racism and disrespect for women within the State of the Union address. One story Trump told involved an adoption as detailed in the New York Times. While it sounds all happy on the surface, a slightly deeper look exposes a situation completely neglecting of the needs of the woman whose child now lives with another family. A second adoption story in the news shows how adoption processes can be problematic. From CNN: “Something was amiss about the story the Ohio-based adoption agency had told Jessica and her husband, Adam, about Mata's background. … Her mother told her it was never her intent to give Mata up for good — that she'd been deceived.”
