Today we released part one of our interview with Bruce Salyers. He's the founder of Salyers Percussion—a leading manufacturer of quality drum sticks and mallets for drummers and percussionists in all genres of music. Prior to founding Salyers Percussion, Bruce enjoyed a wide variety of experiences as a musician: he was a middle and high school band director,  a percussion instructor at Harding College and had a successful private teaching studio. As a performer he's played with ensembles such as the Arkansas Symphony and Pine Bluff Orchestras, and has published music compositions. If you're thinking of building an arts-based business, you'll want to hear Bruce describe his organic approach to significant growth!  https://www.salyerspercussion.com/

Buffalo based Adam Bronstein is a guitar player known for his clever songwriting and playful improvisation. Focusing on guitar at the forefront of its sound, his trio's music is instrumental with influences ranging from jazz through Hip Hop, R&B and Psychedelia. We were excited to catch Adam on a recent trip to his native Buffalo, and even more excited when he appeared on tour at the Bop Stop for this August 8th, 2024 appearance in support of his most recent release ABTrio. Featuring Adam on Guitar, James Benders on Bass and Gabriel Wells on Drums and Percussion, it's Adam Bronstein and the AB Trio-Live at the Bop Stop.

Ben and Carl share some of the techniques they use to add percussive depth without cluttering your mix. Learn why texture beats rhythm, how to stretch samples for supernatural groove, and the specific workflow for making percussion serve your song instead of competing with it.Discover:Why Carl's orchestral training taught him to add texture instead of rhythm to modern pop mixesHow time-stretching a sample creates unique transient effects you can't get any other wayHow adding one extra rhythmic element can destroy the unison power of an entire mixThe Middle Eastern groove Ben constructed sample by sample because no loop existed for what he neededWhen to mute it and boot it if your percussion isn't making the song betterBen and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497eLA Wildfire Relief:Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirereliefWAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donateLearn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixingConnect with us:Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonicsBen - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/Learn more:https://www.benwallick.com/https://www.carlbahner.com/This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/

Part of the Festival of Sacred Music Series at The New School at Commonweal Join us for the third in a series of sacred music celebrations at Commonweal, an afternoon duet of sarod and tabla with Manik Khan and Nilan Chaudhuri. Part of the Festival of Sacred Music Series These concerts are presented in collaboration with long-time Commonweal friend Toby Symington, executive director of the Lloyd Symington Foundation and transpersonal astrologer. Held at the solstice and equinox, the concerts—and gatherings afterward—are designed to bring people together in a convivial setting around music which delights, inspires, and elevates the soul. From Toby: Manik Khan has been steeped in the ancient melodies of North Indian classical music since birth. The youngest son of the legendary Sarod maestro, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, he grew up listening to his father in countless concerts and attending his classes at the esteemed Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, California. He initially studied tabla under the guidance of Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, but the greater call to follow in the footsteps of his family brought Manik, at the age of 13, to formally train on the Sarod with his father. He spent his formative years accompanying his father on stage, touring for the last decade of his father's extensive and iconic performance career. Manik's own solo career has brought him throughout India, South America, and the United States. Nilan Chaudhuri is a Bay Area based percussionist, educator, and performer. Initiated into the tradition of Indian Classical Music at the age of five by his father, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Nilan has been performing as a tabla soloist and accompanist for nearly two decades. Drawing inspiration from his father's innovative approach to classical tabla solo,  Nilan was determined from a young age to be a soloist. In addition to maintaining a rigorous performing schedule, Nilan teaches Tabla throughout the Bay Area as a faculty member at the Ali Akbar College of Music, in San Rafael, and as the Director of Percussion at Chitresh Das Institute, in San Mateo. He also serves as an archivist at the Ali Akbar College of Music, where the construction of a musical archive spanning 40 years of his Father's work, is underway. It's his lifelong mission to contribute to the preservation and enrichment of Indian Classical percussion.  *** The New School is Commonweal's learning community and podcast — we offer conversations, workshops, and other events in areas that Commonweal champions: finding meaning, growing health and resilience, advocating for justice, and stewarding the natural world. We make our conversations into podcasts for many thousands of listeners world wide and have been doing this since 2007.

Der französische Komponist Erik Satie starb im Juli vor 100 Jahren. Sein Lebensende war wenig glanzvoll: Er war ein mittelloser Alkoholiker, litt an Leberzirrhose und sein musikalisches Talent war nur von wenigen erkannt worden. Heute gilt Satie als Vorläufer von Minimalismus und Ambient Music. Die reduzierte Struktur seiner Musik fasziniert auch den pfälzischen Cellisten Burkard Maria Weber. Ihm ist es ein Anliegen, das Moderne an Saties Musik zur Geltung zu bringen – und dafür hat er viele seiner Stücke neu arrangiert und mit Cello, E-Gitarre, Bass und Percussion eingespielt. In dieser Woche gastiert er auch im SWR-Sendegebiet.

We start with his youth in Belfast and early relationships to his career in classical music and eventual and excellent pivot to stand-up comedy. Along the way we've got some classic weird purchases like a life-size Barack Obama cutout, some old Guinness posters, and the dilemma of useless but humane mouse traps. Also - the BEST domestic tip you'll hear all summer. Guaranteed.Make sure you go and check out Vittorio, too.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Brett Dietz, Director of Percussion at LSU, and someone who had a tremendous impact on my own family. Brett taught my son Skyler throughout his college years, and I've long admired him as both an educator and an artist. This was a special and personal conversation.We discuss Brett's journey from studying under Michael Burritt at Northwestern to his unexpected opportunity at LSU in 2003, where he has been teaching for over two decades. He reflects on the evolution of the percussion studio, the effects of the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic on student development, and how the landscape of music education has shifted over the years.We delve into teaching philosophies and how Brett identifies the most minor technical issues that unlock major improvements, and why teaching is ultimately about remembering what it's like to struggle. We also cover the deceptively complex art of triangle and tambourine playing, and how Brett balances classical rigor with kindness and adaptability.And then there's Brett the composer. He shares the backstory behind his works, such as Sharpened Stick and Headcase, and how his early days in a high school garage band with Doug Perkins (yes, that Doug Perkins) led to a lifelong love of composing. He discusses studying under legends like Stanley Leonard, David Stock, and J. Allen Yim, and how those mentors shaped his artistic voice.Whether you're a percussionist, a teacher, or just someone who loves stories about finding your path and making an impact, this episode is packed with insight, warmth, and some great laughs.To learn more about Brett, visit his website.  Thank you for listening!

Mit "Pet Sounds" wollten The Beach Boys rund um Brian Wilson das größte Rockalbum aller Zeiten schaffen. Bis heute gilt es als wegweisender Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte. "Pet Sounds" erschien am 16. Mai 1966 als elftes Studioalbum der Beach Boys. Die kalifornische Band bestand aus den Brüdern Brian, Dennis und Carl Wilson, ihrem Cousin Mike Love und dem Schulfreund Alan Jardine. Mit "Pet Sounds" entfernten sie sich von ihrem sommerlichen Surfsound und wandten sich vielschichtigen, komplexen Kompositionen mit lyrischer Tiefe zu. Während der Produktion des Albums war ein Großteil der Beach Boys eigentlich gar nicht dabei. Die Band tourte gerade durch Japan. Nur Brian Wilson, der kreative Kopf der Gruppe, blieb zurück in Kalifornien, um sein Ziel zu erreichen, das beste Rockalbum aller Zeiten zu komponieren. Dabei orientierte er sich am Album "Rubber Soul" von den Beatles, das ein Jahr zuvor erschienen war. Brian Wilson war ein großer Fan des amerikanischen Produzenten Phil Spector, der für die Komposition dichter und orchestraler Klangflächen bekannt wurde, der sogenannten "Wall Of Sound". Spector war unter anderem am Song "Be My Baby" aus dem Jahr 1963 von den Ronettes beteiligt. Wilson bezeichnete das Lied als das beste Popstück, das je geschrieben wurde. Tief beeindruckt von Spectors Arbeit, wollte Wilson ihn jedoch nicht einfach nachahmen. Sein Anspruch war, ihn zu übertreffen. Neben der neuartigen Kompositionsweise finden sich auf "Pet Sounds" viele interessante Instrumente, oder eher Alltagsgegenstände, die zu Instrumenten umfunktioniert wurden. Im gleichnamigen Titelsong "Pet Sounds" spielte der Schlagzeuger die Percussions am Anfang mit zwei leeren Cola-Dosen ein. In "You Still Belive In Me" kommt eine Fahrradhupe zum Einsatz. An anderen Stellen klingen Löffel als Rhythmusinstrumente mit und der letzte Song des Albums, "Caroline, No", endet mit Hundegebell und einem vorbeifahrenden Zug. "Pet Sounds" ist ein einzigartiges Album, das die Musikwelt bis heute prägt. Bei seiner Veröffentlichung blieb der große Erfolg jedoch zunächst aus. Es schien, als hätte Brian Wilson sein Ziel, das größte Rockalbum aller Zeiten zu schreiben, verfehlt. Die Enttäuschung traf den Musiker damals tief. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Pet Sounds" wird Podcast gesprochen (22:43) – "Wouldn't It Be Nice"(36:25) – "Pet Sounds"(39:26) – "You Still Believe In Me"(40:07) – "Caroline, No"(45:53) – "Sloop John B"(51:37) – "God Only Knows"(01:02:31) – "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: linkhttps://1.ard.de/the-beach-boys-pet-sounds __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

À l'occasion de la Fête de la musique, l'association Zone Verte et ONU-Habitat organisent pour la première fois le Green Drums Day, une compétition musicale inédite consacrée à la batterie, au cœur d'un espace vert délaissé du quartier El Manzah à Tunis.Elissa Amara, actuelle présidente et fondatrice de l'association Zone Verte, explique : « La batterie, c'est l'instrument musical de l'urbain par défaut, un instrument qui fait du bruit — mais un bruit artistique, qui fait vibrer les cœurs. »Au programme de cette journée : deux catégories de jeunes batteurs — de moins et de plus de 15 ans — doivent se produire sur scène, entrecoupés d'intermèdes artistiques, dont un hommage musical écologique signé par des artistes venus du Japon. L'objectif ? Mettre en lumière un espace vert menacé, aujourd'hui réduit à un parking bitumé, et rappeler sa vocation originelle. « Nous voulons réhabiliter cet espace en jardin urbain, où la biodiversité peut s'épanouir et les citoyens retrouver leurs droits environnementaux. »Pour Elissa Amara, l'événement incarne bien plus qu'un simple concert : « Les jeunes doivent pouvoir s'approprier ces lieux, pour créer, respirer et tisser des liens intergénérationnels. Une ville sans espaces verts est une ville sans santé publique. » Découvrez l'intégralité de son entretien en audio.(Interview : Elissa Amara, présidente et fondatrice de l'association Zone Verte; propos recueillis par Cristina Silveiro) 

Daniel Savio started his professional theater career playing keyboards for the Mime Troupe in 2006, and since 2020 he has been the Troupe's resident composer/lyricist. This year Daniel led the band, was co-arranger, and composed additional music for SFBATCO's original musical Sign My Name To Freedom: The Unheard Songs of Betty Reid Soskin. He was recently musical director for the Marin Mountain Play production of Kinky Boots. Daniel has been MD of numerous community and children's productions at theaters in the North and East Bay. He has a BA in music from the University of California at Santa Cruz. SF Mime Troupe Web Site DISRUPTION - A Musical Farce Written by Michael Gene Sullivan & Marie Cartier Music and Lyrics by Daniel Savio Directed by Michael Gene Sullivan Music Direction by Daniel Savio DISRUPTION - A Musical Farce features a four-person cast that includes veteran SF Mime Troupe collective members: Michael Gene Sullivan* (Hector Washington); Alicia M.P. Nelson* (Zubari Macintosh); and features Lizzie Calogero* (Elizabeth); Jed Parsario* (Augie Dimalanta). SFMT BAND: Guinevere Q (Bass); Daniel Savio (Keyboards); and Jason Young (Drums, Percussion). In a city where nothing is more important than “innovation,” son of immigrants Augie Dimalanta (Jed Parsario) works hard. His friend Elizabeth (Lizzie Calogero) may think patching over problems is counterrevolutionary, but after his shift at the “Fried Thangs Diner” Augie's life's all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded and inhuman system. His efforts to make up for the cuts are making a real difference, but at what point does he need to stop plugging the holes in the system and try to change it instead? And while Augie is filling holes, tech genius Zubari Macintosh (Alicia Nelson) is busy digging more! As the head of MOPS (The Mayor's Office of Public Safety) she's all about optimization and “efficiency,” making a city attractive to investors and the right kind of people - and who wouldn't want that? Never mind that she has no experience beyond developing a social media app - how hard can government be? Maybe the only real barrier to giving the people what they really want all this time has been the inefficiency of democracy itself. And with proudly working-class, red-hatted police officers like Hector Washington (Michael Gene Sullivan) to clear the streets, San Francisco will soon be a beautiful and prosperous suburb of Silicon Valley - and hopefully in time for the president's upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm, efficient paradise why is everything suddenly on… FIRE!

Episode 176 Chapter 35, Live Electronic Music— Historical Practices. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 35, Live Electronic Music— Historical Practices from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC—HISTORICAL PRACTICES   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:34 00:00 1.     Karlheinz Stockhausen, “Mikrophonie I” (1964) from Mikrophonie I · Mikrophonie II.   Mikrophonist 1, Johannes Fritsch; Mikrophonist 2, Harald Bojé; Electronic Filters and Potentiometers 1, Karlheinz Stockhausen; Electronic Filters and Potentiometers 2, Hugh Davies, Jaap Spek; Tam-tam, Aloys Kontarsky; Tam-tam, Fred Alings.  Brüsseler Version 1965 recorded at WDR, Cologne. 07:24 01:42 2.     AMM, “In The Realm Of Nothing Whatever” (1966) from AMMMusic 1966.

Composed By, Mixed By, Electronics, Filters, Potentiometers, Karlheinz Stockhausen; Electronium, Harald Bojé; Tamtam, Alfred Alings, Rolf Gehlhaar; Piano, Aloys Kontarsky; Electric Viola, Johannes G. Fritsch. This is the opening of this long work, excerpted for this strange collection of greatest “hits” by Stockhausen (you had to be in 1970 to understand this). Kurzwellen is a piece where the musicians need to improvise and react to signals they receive on randomly tuned shortwave radios. This is from the Cologne recording made in the Rhenus studio in Godorf for the Cologne Radio (WDR, Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) on the 8th and 9th of April 1969 (53'30), which was record 2 of the original 2-record set. By the way, this ensemble also featured the Electronium Pi, made by Hohner beginning in 1952. It was a monophonic, electronic keyboard instrument and was an add-on instrument for the piano mounted under the keyboard, which is the model used by Stockhausen. His keyboardist, while Harald Bojé used the accordion-like model. 06:19 01:14:56 6.     The Music Improvisation Company, “Tuck” (1970) from The Music Improvisation Company. Electric Guitar, Derek Bailey; Live Electronics, Hugh Davies; Percussion, Jamie Muir; Soprano Saxophone, Evan Parker. 03:00 01:21:14 7.     David Tudor, “Rainforest IV” (1973) from Rainforest IV.  Composed in 1973 by David Tudor; performed by Composers Inside Electronics (David Tudor, Martin Kalve, Philip Edelstein, Ralph Jones, Bill Viola, John Driscoll). Recorded at the exhibition "Für Augen und Ohren - Von der Spieluhr zum akustischen (Environment (For eyes and ears - from the mechanical clock to the acoustic environment)" at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, January 1980. 25:12 01:24:24 8.     Maryanne Amacher, “"Head Rhythm 1" And "Plaything 2" (1999) from Sound Characters (Making The Third Ear). Electroacoustic composer of sound installations, best known for her incorporation of otoacoustic emissions -- sounds that seem to be emanating from inside one's own head. This track plays with that concept and sets your brain up to experience itself, so to speak. 10:04 01:49:36 9.     Caroline Park, “Grain 5” (2011) from Grain. This is a cassette release by Park, often known her for generative composition work and electronic improvisations based on parameters that she defines. Recorded, performed by Caroline Park. 09:05 01:59:32 10.   Caterina Barbieri. “This Causes Consciousness To Fracture” (2017) from Patterns Of Consciousness.  Italian composer and musician from Bologna. This album was created using analog synthesis. Barbieri has said, “In Patterns of Consciousness I was interested in exploring the power of sound on our consciousness. I wanted to explore how a pattern creates a certain state of consciousness and how the gradual transformation of that pattern can affect that state of consciousness. I believe that sound is a tool for the exploration, reconfiguration and expansion of human perceptions.” I find this to be in a similar psychological vein as the Amacher work also heard in this episode. 22:44 02:08:36 11.   Sarah Davachi, “First Cadence” (2021) from Antiphonals. Composed, recorded, performed, Mellotron (bass flute, recorder, oboe), Tape Echo, Sarah Davachi. 05:48 02:31:20 12.   Asha Tamirisa, “Live Performance,”(2023) at the Waterworks 2023: Festival of Experimental Sound.

The drummer and percussionist Billy Martin, whose name many Time Sensitive listeners may recognize—he created the Time Sensitive theme song—defies any boxed-in or limiting definitions of his work. Best known as a member of the band Medeski Martin & Wood (MMW), he's spent the past three-plus decades making experimental, boundary-pushing, and uncategorizable instrumental jazz-funk-groove music, shaping sounds that feel as expansive as they are definitive and distinctive. Across all his artistic output, Martin continually, meditatively searches for harmony. He is also a composer, a teacher, a visual artist, and a builder and craftsman. His expansive creative practice comes most alive at his home in Englewood, New Jersey, where he has cultivated a bamboo garden, crafted his own Japanese-style teahouse, and constructed a music studio. Martin is someone for whom rhythm is not just something heard, but also seen and felt.On the episode, he talks about his MMW journey at length, his concept of “rhythmic harmony,” and why he views sound creation as a sacred act.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Billy Martin[7:31] Medeski Martin & Wood[7:31] John Medeski[7:31] Chris Wood[7:31] “Not Not Jazz” (2024)[10:12] Iggy Pop's “Avenue B” (1999)[10:12] Don Was[11:27] “The Lover” (1995)[11:27] “Friday Afternoon in the Universe” (1995)[11:27] “Old Angel Midnight” (1973) by Jack Kerouac[13:44] Ra-Kalam Bob Moses[13:44] John Scofield[13:44] David Baker[15:57] “Shuck It Up” (1993)[15:57] “It's a Jungle in Here” (1993)[18:12] “Latin Shuffle” (1998)[18:12] “Combustication” (1998)[18:12] Frankie Malabe[18:12] Art Blakey[33:25] Thelonious Monk[33:58] “Life on Drums” (2011)[38:32] John Bonham[38:32] Charlie Watts[38:32] Stewart Copeland[38:32] Elvin Jones[38:32] Max Roach[38:32] Danny Richmond[38:32] Charles Mingus[38:32] Jack DeJohnette[38:32] Joe Morello[38:32] Roy Haynes[38:32] Stan Getz[38:32] Airto Moreira[38:32] Naná Vasconcelos[38:32] Babatunde Olatunji[39:58] Gus Johnson[39:58] “Whatever Happened to Gus” (1998)[39:58] Steve Cannon[40:54] “Chubb Sub” (1995)[40:54] ”Uncle Chubb” (1992)[46:41] “Shack-man” (1996)[47:06] “Drumming Birds” (2004)[54:48] “Bamboo Rainsticks” (1999)[54:48] Amulet Records[1:00:23] Creative Music Studio

Coaches Justin, Amanda, and William offer programming, form coaching, diet coaching and more, here!   In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coaches Justin, Bill, and Amanda discuss the roles of chiropractors and physical therapists in health and rehabilitation. They share personal experiences and insights on the effectiveness of these professionals, emphasizing the importance of individualized care, progressive overload in therapy, and the limitations of chiropractic adjustments. The conversation highlights the need for strength training in recovery and the potential impact of the placebo effect in treatment outcomes. In this conversation, the coaches delve into the complexities of back pain, chiropractic care, and the importance of movement and strength training. They discuss the physiological aspects of back pain, the risks associated with neck manipulation, and the origins of chiropractic practice, highlighting its controversial history. The coaches emphasize the need to identify quackery in chiropractic practices, the significance of movement and strength training in pain management, and the role of massage and physical therapy. They advocate for a holistic approach to health that prioritizes movement and strength over reliance on supplements and chiropractic adjustments.   Takeaways Physical therapists are often utilized for rehab post-injury or surgery. The effectiveness of physical therapy can vary based on the therapist's knowledge and approach. Progressive overload is crucial in physical therapy for effective recovery. Chiropractic adjustments may provide temporary pain relief but do not create lasting changes in spinal alignment. Individual attention from a physical therapist can lead to better outcomes than cookie-cutter approaches. Pain management in physical therapy should not lead to prolonged discomfort post-session. Strength training is essential for long-term injury prevention and recovery. The placebo effect can play a significant role in perceived benefits from chiropractic care. Finding a chiropractor with a sports rehab background may yield better results. Elderly patients often require strength training rather than just range of motion exercises. Chiropractic manipulation can provide neuromuscular facilitation. Most back pain stems from muscle atrophy, particularly in the erectors. Neck manipulation is never appropriate due to associated risks. Chiropractic practice has a controversial history and origins. Identifying quackery in chiropractic practices is crucial for patient safety. Movement and strength training are essential for pain management. Massage therapy can be more beneficial than chiropractic adjustments. Percussion massage can help relax tight muscles effectively. Holistic approaches to health prioritize movement and strength. Lifestyle changes are key to reducing pain and improving overall health.

As someone who plays drums, naturally, I follow several drummers. It was when @sterloid posted a particular snare that I reached out to today's guest, Jefferson Shallenberger, founder of Sugar Percussion. We chat drum building, Sugar's beginnings and process, Jefferson's time spent building furniture, and we even dig into his internal work which has affected every relationship he shares. We wrap things up discussing a very special watch and the story behind the two unique cars in his garage - one hosts an incredibly beautiful steering wheel made from Claro Walnut, Ebony and Holly.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_Sugar Percussionhttps://www.sugarpercussion.com/@sugarpercussion

Relentless rhythms and Latin dance history from one of TraTraTrax's finest. Percussion is, at the root, a conversation. It's about different instruments meeting each other, and interacting to form something bigger than the sum of its parts. Few engage in this dialogue as boldly as Pablo De Vargas, AKA Uruguayan experimentalist Lechuga Zafiro, who draws from tradition, to make sounds like candombe and clave feel, well, completely new. De Vargas' music reaches outward, building bridges between Montevideo and Bogotá, Tijuana, Berlin and beyond. He's a key figure in the hybridisation of Latin American club music, with releases on labels like NAAFI and an album on TraTraTrax. His RA Podcast plays like a manifesto in motion. RA.985 opens with a recording of Jorginho Gularte, a Uruguayan composer, playing a jazz rhythm, from there, it expands: cuban guaguancó, Venezuelan drums, batida, tribal, techno—it's all here, stitched together with precision and intention. De Vargas is also, crucially, reckoning with these roots. His 2018 EP Testigo confronted the colonial violence embedded in the history of the Río de la Plata. His sets are similarly alive with memory—asking, without nostalgia: what does it mean to inherit rhythm? Who gets to carry it forward? He's also just a killer DJ, one of those rare artists who uses CDJs like an instrument. His sets are full of hot cues, delay FX and left turns. It's technical, but never cold. It's, in a word, funky. @lechugazafiro Find the interview and tracklist at ra.co/podcast/985

Portland’s Third Angle New Music will debut a new commissioned piece at its upcoming show on April 16 at OMSI’s Kendall Planetarium. The composition, called “Spheres,” was written for percussion quartet and three American Sign Language performers. Deaf and hard of hearing audience members can experience the program through haptic vests that translate the sound from the instruments music into physical vibrations. The vests were developed by local nonprofit CymaSpace, which aims to make arts and culture performances accessible to Portlanders who are deaf or hard of hearing. Sarah Tiedemann is the artistic director of Third Angle. She joins us to talk about the new show and accessibility in the arts.
