Trance played a huge part in my electronic musical formation. Clubbing at Gallery (Turnmills), Peach (Camden Palace), Godkitchen, Gatecrasher, The Hacienda, Holy City Zoo, Passion (Emporium Coalville), Renaissance (The Cross), The End, Minisitry of Sound, Bagleys, etc. Was updating my IG, and found my old trance mixes. I decided to record what will most likely be my 2 last trance mixes. Part 2 Overture is 2hrs20 of Main Room Trance Classics. The mixing is long with 2.5minute mixes out of the last breakdown.

In this episode of A Table in the Corner, I chat to chef Carla Burger about Bloem, the restaurant she co-owns with Bertus Basson at Paul Clüver Family Wines in Elgin.We talk about Carla's journey through the Basson kitchens, from Overture and Eike to Spek & Bone and Chorus, and the move from pastry chef to running her own restaurant. Carla explains why Bloem was conceived as a more relaxed, family-friendly restaurant suited to the Elgin landscape, rather than another destination fine-dining restaurant.We also talk about the produce coming from the farm, the addition of the Pizza Garden and the realities of running a restaurant in a seasonal destination. Carla discusses finding her own voice within the Basson group, learning the business side of hospitality and the ambition to help establish Elgin as a food destination in its own right. www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

You sent more questions than one episode could hold, so we split them in two. Part one was brought to you by two letters: AI. This is everything else in the mailbag, from the practical side of the music notation software and technology world. Philip Rothman and David MacDonald work through the rest of the mailbag: an iPad that won’t behave like a desktop, an app that has gone quiet, a singing plug-in that is rapidly evolving, world instruments that have to be taught to a notation program, a page somebody has to read at tempo, organizing a lifetime of files, keeping current with operating systems, and — perhaps the most practical question of all — our take in response to a question from a young copyist asking how any of this becomes a living. The answers range over layout options and staff sizes, expression maps and subscription libraries, file metadata and backup schemes, security updates and Apple silicon, and a set of accessibility guidelines deserving of wider recognition. Believe it or not, there are a few things here we plainly don’t know. Underneath most of it is the same instinct: keep the things you control in good order, and keep an exit from the things you don’t. Export the files. Learn the search box. Test the backup. Ask the player what size they can actually read. And never underestimate the value of a performance librarian in your corner. Thanks to everyone who wrote in.

On September 26, 2025, last year’s Best Picture Oscar winner, One Battle After Another, a loose adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, hit wide release in theaters. And then 11 days later, on October 7, Pynchon published what might be his final novel, Shadow Ticket. Not a bad year for an 89-year-old writer. This hour, a look at the (maybe) reclusive Pynchon and the novels and stories he’s published, from Gravity’s Rainbow to Mason & Dixon and more. Plus: a look at the two Paul Thomas Anderson movies that Pynchon’s work has inspired, Inherent Vice and One Battle After Another. GUESTS: David Cowart: Distinguished professor emeritus of English language and literature at the University of South Carolina and the author of a number of books, including Thomas Pynchon: The Art of Allusion and Thomas Pynchon and the Dark Passages of History Ana Gavrilovska: A writer; you can find her work in Current Affairs, Uncut Magazine, Maggot Brain, and her Substack, Sick Sad Motherslug Leonardo Goi: A journalist and film critic Brian Slattery: A writer and musician Music featured (in order): Don Giovanni, K. 527: Overture – W.A. Mozart as performed by Claudio Abbado and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe The most referenced piece of music in Pynchon’s catalogue. Gravity’s Angel – Laurie Anderson The Royal Scam – Steely Dan Mentioned in Bleeding Edge. Run Straight Down – Warren Zevon Zevon attributed this song to overdosing on Pynchon — the opening words are just carcinogenic chemicals. Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) – Bonzo Dog Band Pynchon put out his own playlist for Inherent Vice. This was on it.

Amy Rose (CTO of the Overture Maps Foundation) joins the podcast to explore the structural differences between open-source software and open data. Amy breaks down how Overture—founded by AWS, Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom—builds interoperable global map layers, resolves complex entity definitions across disparate datasets, and why modern agentic AI workflows require record-level metadata rather than dataset-level summaries.
We sincerely hope that we haven't committed blasphemy in the eyes of those in the Church Of Pete. We love The Who! We love Pete, Roger, John and Keith and we really love Tommy. Doing our Classic Albums Worst To First treatment to the songs on Tommy seems crazy, but it was a really fun way for us to dig into the guts of a great album, and appreciate each song on its own merit. My mom, the great Elizabeth Eisen was super jazzed about this idea so we had to do it. The top half of the list is featured here in Part 2, with picks 12-1 - the best songs on Tommy, and some truly incredible songwriting and musical performances.

On today's show, host Ali Muldrow speaks with the new Co-CEO and Chief People Officer for the Overture Center, Victor Patterson. They discuss the role of the arts in shaping Madison's culture, how Patterson developed his philosophy of leadership, and the jazz music and gospel plays that shaped him. Patterson describes how his upbringing in Chicagoland set him on a path to community building. Supported by his loving extended family and inspired by music and sports, Patterson says that he now makes decisions in order to build a strong legacy. Moving to Madison after decades working in corporate America, Patterson says that he stopped looking for bigger and bigger roles and instead chose Madison for the community. He says he's ready to make a splash in this smaller pond and focus on creating seats at the table in Madison's arts scene. Inclusivity and diversity are authentic realities for Patterson who wants the Overture Center to be the “social heartbeat” for communities of color in Madison and see the venue become a regional player in the arts. They also discuss how leaders build strong teams, remain open to feedback, and refuse to see harm in failure. Victor Patterson previously held senior human resources leadership roles with Lowe's, H.B. Fuller and The Home Depot, where he led workforce planning, succession strategy, leadership development and organizational effectiveness efforts across regional and global teams. At Overture, Patterson oversees the People & Culture function, influencing business strategy and driving inclusion, access and belonging initiatives as well as overall organizational culture.

On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by returning friend of the show Will Forte and Lana Condor to discuss the eagerly anticipated COYOTE VS. ACME. Following their conversation, Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price joins us to discuss his score for the film, including how a last-minute inspiration led him to the London Voices choir to record a new rendition of the 1812 Overture at Abbey Road, complete with Road Runner-inspired “meep meeps”! After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote (Genius) finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote's chaotic catastrophes. Coyote vs. Acme finally releases into theatres August 28, 2026. Watch and listen to The Movie Podcast now on all podcast platforms, YouTube, and TheMoviePodcast.ca.

Pastor Davis preached from 2 Samuel 5–6, showing how David's reign serves as an “overture” pointing toward a greater King. The central message was that Jesus fulfills what David foreshadows. David imperfectly shepherded and united God's people, defeated their enemies, restored God's presence to Jerusalem, and extended God's blessing. Jesus accomplishes each of these things fully: He is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His people, the Savior who ransoms every tribe and nation, the mediator who brings sinful people into God's presence, and the King who generously blesses His church. David's failures also remind us that no human leader can be our ultimate hope. Because God is faithful to His promises, we can trust His Word even when obedience seems difficult. The sermon concluded with three responses: savor Christ, trust the Scriptures, and confidently share the goodness of Jesus with others.

Mr. Jaden Weatherly (one of our new seminarians) takes up the class, discussing the Song's initial themes of anxious longings, reciprocated longings, and the blossoming of the relationship. We end with a further discussion on the typology and allegory from the Fathers.
Donald Macleod explores the life and music of George Frideric Handel through the patrons, employers and institutions that helped shape his career. From the aristocratic circles of Italy and the court of Hanover to royal favour in Britain and the charitable culture of Dublin, Handel proved adept at navigating the worlds on which composers depended. Yet he remained unusually independent, moving between courts, theatres and concert halls while steadily building a career on his own terms. Along the way, patronage could offer opportunity, security and prestige, but it also brought rivalries, competing loyalties and political complications. Through sacred music, opera, anthem and oratorio, this podcast traces how Handel responded to the people and places that supported his work.Music featured includes extracts from:Dixit Dominus, HWV 232 Tu fedel?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Subscription model beats fee-splitting for attorney networks. Overture transitioned from taking a fee split on referrals to a $49/month membership, giving attorneys more of the pie, more flexibility, and removing financial friction from sharing work.* The platform's value goes beyond referrals. Arya discovered attorneys were using Overture for mentorship, co-counsel relationships, and general connectivity, not just referrals. The platform evolved to serve that broader purpose.* Keep posting costs free, charge for taking work. The two-sided marketplace logic: it costs nothing to post work (to keep supply flowing), only $49/month to respond and take on work, making it as easy as possible for attorneys to refer clients they can't serve.* Human connection is irreplaceable, even as AI transforms law. AI will increase efficiency and compress some roles, but the attorneys who will thrive are those who combine technology with genuine client relationships. People want a person using technology, not technology alone.* Community size drives platform value. Keeping pricing accessible is intentional. Growing the network matters more than maximizing subscription revenue. A larger, more diverse attorney community (currently 6,000+) makes it possible to find the right specialist anywhere in the country, which is the platform's core promise.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

It's time for the triennial LCMS Synod Convention — held this year in Phoenix, Arizona, from July 18–23 under the theme “Christ Is Risen Indeed.” Are you curious about what actually happens before and during a Synod Convention? About how an idea becomes an overture? How an overture becomes a resolution? How a resolution is discussed and voted on by the Synod in convention? If so, take heart. Former co-host and regular guest Bri Gerzevske shares your curiosity, and in this installment of Bri's Radio Theatre, she explains just how the LCMS convention process works in “The Ballad of Four-Dash-Five-Seven,” a hilarious homage to Schoolhouse Rock's classic ditty “I'm Just a Bill.” Bri Gerzevske is a fellow Lutheran lady, an LCMS pastor's wife, and a certified fundraising executive (CFRE) currently working as Director of Managed Contributor Care with LCMS Mission Advancement.

Ed sits down with Lukas Martinelli, founder and CEO of Reprompt and former Mapbox engineer, to discuss the future of geospatial data and AI. Lukas shares his journey from building large scale mapping technology to launching Reprompt, a company rethinking how points of interest (POI) data is collected and maintained. They explore why traditional approaches, from manual surveys to crowdsourcing and collaborative datasets like Overture and OpenStreetMap, are not enough, how Reprompt addresses challenges such as data quality and deduplication, and what excites Lukas most about the next wave of geospatial innovation. They also talk about his move from Europe to Silicon Valley and why he believes now is the right time to build a geospatial startup.

What to expect at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 and an interview with the Manager of Onsite Learning at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum. Also, how L3Harris converted the Qatari-gifted 747 into Air Force One, the Cirrus TRAC10, window seat lawsuits, a rule change to allow supersonic flight over the United States, and an update on Boom Supersonic's strategy for its self-developed Symphony engine. Image by Linda and Lily. Guest Dick Knapinski is Director of Communications for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). He has served in that capacity since 2010 and has been with the organization since 1992. Dick serves as the liaison between the media and EAA throughout the year, particularly during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the world’s largest fly-in convention. The event runs July 20-26, 2026.

The Aviation Gateway Park will spotlight helicopters, advanced vertical lift platforms, and eVTOL aircraft through static displays and interactive exhibits. Before joining EAA, Dick built a broadcasting career in Wisconsin, including stints as Program Director at WNBI Radio, News Director at WMGV Radio, and Station Manager at WLFM-FM/Wisconsin Public Radio. He also spent years as a sportswriter for the Appleton Post-Crescent. Dick holds a private pilot certificate and remains active as a writer and spokesperson for EAA. Aviation News How was the new Air Force One prepared for flight? The two permanent VC-25 replacements were selected in 2015, and the $3.9 billion fixed-price contract was signed in February 2018. Boeing began physical refurbishment work in February 2020 on two 747-8I airframes originally built for the bankrupt Russian carrier Transaero. Boeing has already reported $2.5 billion in losses on the program. The current delivery target for the first jet is between 2027 and 2028, with the second jet to follow later. The ex-Qatari 747-8 “bridge” aircraft was gifted to the U.S. Air Force in May 2025 and entered service on July 1, 2026. L3Harris did the conversion in about 10 months. The quick conversion was accomplished due to several factors: Pre-staged employees operated on a 24/7, three-shift structure. (Boeing has worked a normal single-shift industrial pace, with no incentive to surge, staff once costs started ballooning.) The bridge aircraft came with a luxury interior. (Boeing's jets had incomplete interiors – basically shells.) Missing VC-25 elements. Reports (unconfirmed by the government) include no evidence of defensive countermeasures and a lack of EMP hardening. L3Harris didn’t out-engineer Boeing. They ran a 24/7 surge crew on a plane that already had a finished VIP interior, targeted a much narrower requirement (“executive airlift” vs. full presidential command-post survivability), and the government has not been forthcoming about which hardened-aircraft features (EMP shielding, missile countermeasures, full secure comms suite) were omitted. See also: Trump wants the $400M Qatari-gifted new Air Force One to be the centerpiece of his presidential library. But there's a problem. Cirrus launches TRAC10, a new light aircraft for the flight training market Purpose-designed for flight schools and to be powered by a turbocharged Rotax 916 iSc FADEC engine, the plane has a three-seat interior, a Garmin flight deck, and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. Cirrus says they have 100 orders from 13 flight schools. United Airlines must face lawsuit over ‘window seats’ that lack windows Not every “window seat” has a window. Sometimes it has a wall. That's just the way it is. But last August, some passengers filed class actions against United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, claiming that the carriers failed to properly disclose the lack of a window during the booking process. United claimed that “window seat” described the seat’s location and did not contractually promise that the seat would, in fact, have a window. In San Francisco, U.S. District Judge James Donato rejected the airlines' request to dismiss the suit. New Rule Clears Way for Quiet Supersonic Flights By way of history: The FAA issued 14 CFR § 91.817 in April 1973, prohibiting civil aircraft from flying at speeds exceeding Mach 1 over land in the United States. The ban came as a result of early Air Force and NASA-controlled boom tests over cities, concerns over the Boeing 2707 SST program, and the impending arrival of the Concorde. NASA’s X-59 QueSST is flying specifically to gather community-response data on its “quiet boom” design. In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Proposed rule: Enabling Supersonic Overland Flight), the FAA is looking to replace the blanket Mach-1 ban with a noise-based standard. Supersonic flight over land would be permitted if the boom signature falls under a certain loudness threshold. The NPRM states, “Manufacturers have demonstrated it is possible to fly supersonic aircraft without sonic booms reaching the surface by using sonic boom abatement techniques, making complete prohibition on civil supersonic flight outside of test areas no longer appropriate and an unnecessary restraint on the growth of the U.S. aviation sector.” The NPRM shifts the regulatory trigger from speed to noise. Right now, § 91.817 just bans anything faster than Mach 1 over land. The proposed rule keeps that structure but adds an exception: an operator may exceed Mach 1 if it can demonstrate that the sonic boom’s overpressure at the surface does not exceed 0.11 pounds per square foot (psf). This NPRM only covers en-route/overland boom noise. A separate rule on takeoff/landing noise is expected later this year, with both rules targeted for finalization by mid-2027. The comment period ends August 17, 2026, at 11:59 PM EDT. Boom Supersonic Q2 2026 Update https://youtu.be/gtf0-bVSbeA?is=GmG8VhICNm4wg7tP The FAA proposal to change from speed regulation to noise regulation is something Boom Supersonic and others have been seeking. In the Boom Supersonic Q2 2026 Update video, Blake Scholl reveals Boom's strategy for the Symphony engine. The company intends to market a variant of the engine for behind-the-meter power generation that AI companies can utilize for power. In large part, the engine OEMs wouldn’t develop an engine for the Overture because the huge development cost couldn’t be covered by the expected engine volume. So when Boom announced it was developing its own engine, the business case was unclear. But by focusing on the ground power generation market, Boom can spread development costs over a greater number of engines. Also, that revenue stream would generate cash flow for the Overture program.

SynopsisWeather permitting, there's a good chance you'll be attending an outdoor symphonic concert tonight that will close with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, complete with a volley of booming cannon shots, church bells, and dazzling fireworks.It's become an American tradition to perform the 1812 Overture on July 4, even though it has nothing to do with the 1776 War of Independence — or America's War of 1812, for that matter.No, it's all down to Arthur Fielder and the Boston Pops.For years, a wealthy American businessman named David Mugar financed an outdoor Pops concert on Boston's Esplanade on the Fourth of July. But by the mid-1970s, attendance started to decline, so Mugar suggested that if Fiedler would close the annual concert with the 1812 Overture, people might be lured back by the live cannon fire Tchaikovsky asks for in the piece.Well, it worked. Outdoor concerts with the 1812 Overture plus cannons quickly became a tradition, and in 1976, 400,000 people attended the Boston Pops' outdoor Bicentennial Fourth of July concert — setting a Guinness World Record for best-attended classical concert. And, a year after his death in 2022, a bronze statue of Mugar was unveiled on the Boston Esplanade.Music Played in Today's ProgramPeter Tchaikovsky (1840-1893): 1812 Overture; Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra; Antal Dorati, conductor; Mercury Living Presence 434360

The Music Man: Overture Recorded in 1962 at Northern Valley Regional High School, Demarest, New Jersey
Jason and Willy are back with their annual post-Synod recap, and the mood is different than it used to be. This isn't a denomination bracing for a fight; it's one taking stock of how far it has come. Willy is relatively satisfied with Synod 2026 — a give-and-take week with real wins and real losses — and Jason agrees, framing his disappointments as wisdom calls rather than make-or-break ones. The throughline this year, borrowing a line from Derek Buikema, was a willingness to stop deferring everything to process and just make decisions now. The biggest win is the virtual church decision. After leaving the door cracked last year, Synod acceded to the Atlantic Northeast overture and declared plainly that a church meeting exclusively online is not a true church — rooted in Acts and the Belgic Confession, and framed well by Chad Steenwyk as chair. The biggest loss is the Classis Wisconsin overture for a study committee on Reformed ecclesiology, which failed 106 to 71. Jason's frustration isn't the defeat but the reason: the whole debate collapsed into a conversation about money and pragmatism — the very disease the overture was trying to treat. His verdict on the leading floor argument is unprintable-adjacent: it sounds good, but it's crap. The episode closes on the two-year Christian nationalism study committee. Both hosts are skeptical, not because the issue is unimportant but because nobody can define the term — a point Al Mohler recently made by calling it a rebrand of "fundamentalist." Jason is genuinely thankful Synod refused the overture's proposed definition, but he expects two years of study to produce a definition that helps no one. What stings most is the contrast: a committee for the buzzword, none for the root issue. So the Messy Reformation will do the ecclesiology work itself — grassroots. Timestamps: 0:00 — Intro and overall thoughts on Synod 2026 3:14 — Willy: relatively satisfied; a give-and-take synod 5:22 — "We're just going to do it now": Synod's new decisiveness 6:35 — The virtual church decision: online-only is not a true church 9:18 — Digital church versus digital ministry 9:35 — The Classis Wisconsin ecclesiology overture fails, 106 to 71 13:21 — Pragmatism on the floor: "his argument sounds good, but it's crap" 14:05 — The cracked-foundation analogy and planting Reformed churches 16:03 — An invitation to fund Reformed ecclesiology work 16:44 — The Christian nationalism study committee 18:19 — Al Mohler: a rebrand of "fundamentalist" 20:08 — Thankful Synod didn't adopt the proposed definition 21:12 — Chasing a ghost: two years, and a committee for the buzzword but not the root Join and support us on Substack: https://themessyreformation.com/ Intro music by Matt Krotzer
