Carla Zanoni is a journalist, poet, and media leader who's held senior roles at the Wall Street Journal, TED, and now runs the engagement journalism program at CUNY's Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. She's also someone who went into recovery at 23 and has rebuilt her life more than once. In this episode of The Breadwinners, host Rachael Lowell talks to Carla about what she calls "the alchemy of surrender" - those moments when the playbook stops working and you have to get quiet enough to see what's actually true. We talk about the myth of the linear career path, why bringing your whole self to work isn't cringey when it's real, and what it means to lead from a place of integration rather than compartmentalization. If you've ever felt like you were supposed to chart a course from A to B but life had other plans, this one's for you.

In this episode, I sit down with percussionist Colin Currie for a wide-ranging conversation about curiosity, originality, live performance, and the lifelong pursuit of musical meaning. Colin is one of the most influential percussionists of our time, known for his deep commitment to contemporary music, his close collaboration with composers, and his transformative interpretations of Steve Reich's work. This conversation explores how curiosity, patience, and listening have shaped his career and his approach to music-making.We begin by talking about technology, access to recordings, and the changing landscape of music education. Colin reflects on growing up in a time when discovering music required effort, intention, and physical presence in libraries and record shops. He shares concerns about students learning pieces by copying online performances rather than developing their own ideas, and he speaks passionately about the importance of solitude, curiosity, and learning music on one's own terms.Colin traces his musical beginnings back to early childhood, from piano lessons at age five to his first drum lesson at six, describing the joy, excitement, and physical energy that initially drew him to percussion. He talks about how that sense of wonder has never left him and why live performance remains a magical, irreplaceable experience. We explore why percussion continues to evolve so rapidly, how technique has advanced across the field, and why musical intent always matters more than virtuosity alone.A significant portion of the conversation focuses on Colin's connection to contemporary music and the composers who shaped his artistic identity. He describes hearing The Rite of Spring as a teenager, discovering post-war modernist composers through library scores, and developing an instinctive attraction to music that felt strange, challenging, and unfamiliar. Colin shares how his love for new music was never about understanding it intellectually, but about responding to it emotionally and instinctively.We also dive deeply into Colin's relationship with Steve Reich, including their first meeting, their long-standing collaboration, and the formation of the Colin Currie Group. Colin reflects on recording Music for 18 Musicians at Abbey Road Studios, explaining how the goal was to capture the intensity and emotional risk of live performance rather than create a polished studio artifact. He talks about groove, sonority, emotional depth, and why Reich's music demands both precision and expressive freedom.Colin discusses his growing role as a conductor and how stepping onto the podium has changed the way he listens, leads, and collaborates with ensembles. He shares stories from recent performances, lessons learned from orchestral musicians, and how listening remains the central skill, whether playing or conducting. We also talk about his record label, Colin Currie Records, crowdfunding new projects, and the upcoming release of a Steve Reich album featuring Sextet, Double Sextet, Six Marimbas, and Dance Patterns.As we look ahead, Colin reflects on 2026 as a landmark year, including Steve Reich's 90th birthday, dozens of performances of Reich's music worldwide, and the premiere of Colin's 40th percussion concerto. This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation about curiosity, commitment, and the lifelong responsibility of serving music.Music from the Episode:Mallet Quartet (Steve Reich - Colin Currie Group)Music for 18 Musicians - Section VI (Steve Reich - Colin Currie Group)Thank you for listening.

En 1996, à La Havane, de vieux musiciens à la retraite se rendent en studio à la demande, improvisée, d'un Américain, Ry Cooder, et d'un Anglais, Nick Gold. L'idée est d'enregistrer un disque de musique afro-cubaine dans le style de ce qui se faisait, il y a longtemps, avant l'arrivée de Fidel Castro, du côté de Santiago, côté est de l'île. Une musique rurale, simple, acoustique, avec des percussions légères. Une musique que presque plus personne ne joue ni n'écoute. Alors les musiciens plongent dans leur souvenir en buvant du rhum, l'un entame une chanson sur son piano, un autre au tres, une petite guitare cubaine, et tous reprennent naturellement ces mélodies surgies du passé. Et ainsi, comme par magie, s'enregistre un album qui fera date dans l'histoire de la musique : le Buena Vista Social Club. En nous plongeant dans cette histoire, Francis Dordor, auteur du livre "A la recherche du tempo perdu" paru chez GM Editions, dévoile l'histoire unique de Cuba et de sa musique, et celle de ses musicien et musiciennes fabuleuses qui ont conquis le monde. Une séquence réalisée par Jonathan Remy sujets traités : magie, le Buena Vista, Social Club, Ry Cooder, Nick Gold, Fidel Castro, Havane, rurale, percussions, Santiago Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Perfectly capturing how they have become one of the most distinctive voices in the northern pagan metal scene. In this interview, we spoke to percussionist Nikita Kobcevs about the new album, the ups and downs of the creative journey, the desire to bring their live performance to everyone, and so much more.

In this episode, I sit down with percussionist, composer, and author Russell Hartenberger for a deep and reflective conversation about sound, mentorship, history, and the long arc of a musical life. Russell's influence on percussion performance, composition, and pedagogy is immeasurable, and this conversation traces the remarkable path that led him from a childhood in Oklahoma to the center of some of the most important musical movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.We begin with Russell's early years studying percussion with Alan Abel in Oklahoma City and how that formative mentorship shaped his relationship to sound, mechanics, and musical discipline. Russell shares stories about studying at the Curtis Institute of Music with Fred Hinger, including the now legendary focus on sound production and timpani tone that defined his approach to every percussion instrument. We talk about why timpani study is foundational for all percussionists and how concepts of weight, touch, and resonance translate across the entire percussion family.Russell reflects on graduating from Curtis during the height of the Vietnam War and on the sudden pivot in his life when an orchestral job offer was withdrawn because of the draft. He recounts his years performing with the United States Air Force Band in Washington, D.C., describing how military band life mirrored many aspects of orchestral performance while also providing structure during a turbulent moment in American history. We discuss the impact of performing military funerals at Arlington National Cemetery, the discipline of daily rehearsals, and how that period ultimately created space for further academic and artistic exploration.A pivotal chapter of the conversation centers on Russell's graduate studies at Wesleyan University and his introduction to ethnomusicology and non-Western musical traditions. Russell describes his early studies in African Drumming, tabla, and gamelan, and how these experiences fundamentally reshaped his musical worldview. This path led directly to his introduction to Steve Reich in 1971, where Russell became involved in the creation and early performances of Drumming. He offers a rare, firsthand account of learning Reich's music by rote, rehearsing as the piece was being written, and discovering the subtle rhythmic feel that would come to define the Reich ensemble's sound.We explore the formation of Nexus and how improvisation, global instrument collections, and collaboration shaped the ensemble's identity. Russell explains how Nexus and Reich's music intersected, how percussionists became central to rhythmic interpretation, and how early Nexus performances helped introduce Reich's music to a broader percussion community. He reflects on how later generations of performers have built upon that foundation, adapting the music to new contexts while maintaining its core integrity.The conversation turns deeply personal as Russell discusses his composition Requiem for Percussion and Voices. He shares the emotional and historical influences behind the work, including military funerals, childhood memories of church bells, and the symbolic role of percussion in mourning rituals. Russell explains how the piece came together organically, how its structure revealed itself through the writing process, and how adding voices expanded the work's emotional resonance.We close by discussing Russell's current life in retirement, his ongoing writing and scholarship, and his continued engagement with the percussion community through residencies, performances, and significant publications. Russell reflects on writing about Steve Reich's performance practice, the evolution of interpretation across generations, and the importance of documenting lived musical experience. This episode is a profound meditation on sound, time, mentorship, and legacy from one of percussion's most thoughtful and influential voices.Music from the Episode:The Desert Music (Steve Reich)One Last Bar, Then Joe Can Sing (Gavin Bryars)Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ (Steve Reich)Requiem for Percussion and Voices (Russell Hartenberger)Thank you for listening.

From acid tapes and jungle MCs to sweaty tech house basements, Cizzzla's journey has always been about energy. Real energy. The kind that rattles walls and keeps floors moving long after lights should be up. Coming up on pirate radio and cutting his teeth as MC EKO on stations like Delight FM and Rinse, he built his name the old way. Mic skills sharp. Presence loud. Reputation earned. From Ayia Napa to Garage Nation, Sidewindah and stages shared with Dizzee Rascal, EZ, So Solid Crew and Heartless Crew, this is proper scene graft. Fast forward and the reload is heavy. Cizzzla is back with a tech house edge that hits hard. Percussion-led grooves. Choppy vocals. Bass that swings low and punches back. Influences nod to James Hype, Skrillex and Chris Lake, but the flavour is his. Fast mixes. Quick transitions. No filler. Right now he returns to DT Weapons with “Boomerang”, a raw, floor-ready weapon built for late nights and low ceilings. Deep bass. Tight groove. No nonsense. It snaps back every time and leaves the dancefloor begging for one more spin. Straight into the USB. To mark it, Cizzzla steps up for the Spotlight Mix Series with a set that doesn't mess about. His own cuts sit front and centre. Best Kinda Drug, How Ya Like It, One Time For Ya Mind, Boomerang, We Run Sound, The Fcuk Up. All killers. No dead space. Around them you'll catch heat from Ship Wrek & Disco Lines, Valentino Khan, Don Diablo, Alok, Luke Alexander and Raffi Habel. Club tools built for basements, rooftops and those proper sweaty warehouse moments where phones stay down and hands stay up. This one's all bounce. All pressure. All dancefloor. Lock in. Turn it up.

There's a certain sound that only works when the lights are low and the room is already moving. This is that sound. Castion steps back into the Data Transmission booth with a mix built for sweat, bounce, and no-nonsense groove. Zero warm-up. Straight into business. Fresh off his return to MoodCollective, Castion has been on a sharp upward curve. The Tenerife-based producer first landed on the imprint alongside Nicole Moudaber, helping launch the label in mid-2025 and pulling early support from Groove Armada and Harry Romero. Since then, it's been clubs, charts, and consistent damage. This mix feels like how Castion actually plays. Rolling tech-house pressure, chunky drums, and grooves that don't let go. It moves fast but never rushes. Percussion swings. Basslines hit low and wide. Vocals land just long enough to hook you before the next blend snaps in. Rooftops at sunset, basements at 3am, and those packed mid-set moments where the floor locks into one rhythm. There's plenty of his own material woven through the session. Cuts like Non Stop and The Beat set the tone early. His new single See Some More slides in naturally, all hypnotic drums, sexy vocal tension, and peak-time punch. Elsewhere, he dips into Chinonegro's Mi Gente, Rushin's FNKSTA, Sohail & SEBS' Nah, and a cheeky flip of Timbaland's The Way I Are that lands exactly where it should. By the time the closing stretch hits, it's full dancefloor control. This is a DJ mix that understands flow. No filler. No distractions. Just groove after groove, built for real rooms and real systems. Castion's See Some More drops on MoodCollective on 13th February 2026, keep it locked for that. For now, hit play on the podcast and let this one roll. Listen now on SoundCloud, Mixcloud, or Apple Podcasts. ⚡️Like the Mix? Click the [Repost] ↻ button so more people can hear it!

In this episode, I sit down with Dame Evelyn Glennie to talk about what listening really means and why it matters far beyond music. We start with the origins of the Evelyn Glennie Foundation and how her work evolved organically from teaching, performing, and asking people better questions so they can hear themselves more clearly. Evelyn shares how her own experiences shaped a broader philosophy of listening that encompasses sound, the written word, and the ways we communicate through email, texts, and social media. We also dig into how technology has changed our patience and attention, and why listening belongs at the center of education, wellbeing, empathy, and community.From there, we move into the performer's mindset and Evelyn's lifelong curiosity about sound. She explains why she starts new repertoire from the inside out, how the body becomes an essential listening partner over time, and why recordings are only frozen snapshots rather than definitive answers. I ask her about formative training, the balance of learning by ear and reading music, and how her early environments built a deep listening culture that still guides her today. Evelyn offers a powerful reminder that every performance is a world premiere for someone, and that familiar instruments can become brand new when we hear them in a different context.We also go down memory lane through landmark repertoire and collaborations. Evelyn talks about discovering and recording Paul Smadbeck's Rhythm Song, revisiting it years later, and even developing a creative version for marimba and strings. She reflects on the Bartók Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, including the intensity of working at a young age with Sir Georg Solti and the lessons that stayed with her. We then explore her long pursuit of John Corigliano's Conjurer, how the concerto's concept came together, and what it takes to tour a major work night after night, adapting to different instruments and acoustics. Finally, we discuss her experience performing Philip Glass's Double Timpani Concerto with Jonathan Haas, the logistics behind that project, and why she loves the energy of shared soloist roles.To close, Evelyn shares what she is creating right now, including writing for television and film, new books, wide-ranging collaborations, duo projects, and continued foundation work that invites people to slow down, listen deeply, and rethink what connection feels like. This conversation is a masterclass in curiosity, artistry, and attention, and I'm grateful to share it with you.To learn more about Evelyn and the Evelyn Glennie Foundation, visit her website.

In this episode, I sit down with percussionist Doug Perkins for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with a few personal connections and quickly opens up into a bigger discussion about music, teaching, and the kind of “improbable events” that can change a person's life. Doug and I talk about our shared link through LSU and Brett Dietz, and Doug tells the story of how he learned bass guitar in the eighth grade to get into a jazz band, which led to rehearsals at home, a punk band with Brett called The Septic Creptics, and a deep early education in groove, feel, and listening. We dig into the teachers who shaped Doug's path, especially Jack DiIanni, and why fundamentals, sound, and real-life performing situations became such a foundation for everything that came next.Doug shares how his background in drum set and bass informs the way he plays and teaches, especially when it comes to music like Steve Reich, where micro-groove, ensemble feel, and knowing your role inside the bigger texture are everything. We also talk about how students learn now, how algorithm-driven listening can shrink context, and why so many young musicians feel pressure to avoid mistakes when everything can feel like a permanent record. Doug explains how he actively teaches context, lineage, and listening, and why basic production skills matter more than ever, including signal flow, microphones, sound reinforcement, and the simple confidence that comes from knowing how to set up a PA or wrap a cable correctly.From there, Doug takes us into his world at the University of Michigan, where he helps lead a large percussion studio with a faculty team that spans orchestral playing, contemporary music, improvisation, and drum set. We talk about the balance between performing and teaching, and how parenting an 18-year-old college student has changed the way he supports first-year undergrads. Doug also tells the story of his long relationship with composer John Luther Adams, including how a formative early experience with Strange and Sacred Noise eventually led to performances in the Alaskan tundra, floating stages in Central Park, and outdoor concerts where the audience hikes in and the environment becomes part of the piece. We wrap up with what's ahead for Doug, including significant projects, collaborations, performances, and the ongoing joy of bringing students into real work that proves their “crazy ideas” can matter in the world.Music from the Episode:Nagoya Marimbas (Steve Reich, composer - Todd Meehan & Doug Perkins, marimbas)XY (Michael Gordon, composer - Doug Perkins, percussion)Strange and Sacred Noise (John Luther Adams, composer - Morris Palter, Rob Esler, Steven Schick, & Doug Perkins - percussion)Thank you for listening.

Song: What A Gift Music by: Angela Gabriel Notes: What a gift it was to be in conversation with Angela Gabriel -- we talked about how to deal with having been "poked in the voice" -- and the sensation of healthy singing. -- What was "one of the most idea shattering things" Angela has ever done in her life, and how "that butterfly excitement" led her there. How she's gotten to a place where, "I don't shame myself anymore," and a slew of adulting tactics she practices. ("I have a lot of arrows in my quiver.") How community singing can show up in activist spaces, where "it is difficult, but it doesn't have to be somber." How she sets up her own space -- "I actively choose to make it colorful..." and how that helps with healing. "The tremble" when singing for someone who is dying. Percussion and how it that has made Angela's voice distinctive in community singing songs... SO many things I loved in our conversation, not to mention this song! Songwriter Info: Angela is a performer, a teacher, a facilitator, and a lifelong learner. Her mission in life is to facilitate expressive creative, musical, and vocal experiences and to encourage folks of any age and background to replace judgement with curiosity and open themselves to their unique, creative flow. Sharing Info: The song is free to share but Angela always welcomes financial and/or networking support if/when folks are so moved.

Cette semaine, nous revenons sur les conséquences politiques de la tragédie de Bondi Beach avec Patricia Meunier. Une épouvantable tuerie a frappé l'Australie, dimanche 14 décembre a Bondi Beach à Sydney. Deux tueurs se sont attaqués à un rassemblement de la communauté juive organisé à l'occasion de la fête des Lumières, Hanoukka. Cette fête de l'espoir s'est transformée en bain de sang : le bilan est de 15 morts et de plus de 40 blessés.
In this episode, I talk with legendary timpanist, educator, and musical pioneer Jonathan Haas. Jonathan's journey weaves together St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Juilliard, Frank Zappa, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Philip Glass, and a powerful new project responding to the world we live in today.Jonathan tells the story of how a newspaper clipping from his mom led him to Washington University, where he studied with Rich O'Donnell, John Kasica, Tom Stubbs, and Rick Holmes—often taking four private lessons a week while subbing with the St. Louis Symphony.From there, he describes:Heading to Juilliard to study with Saul GoodmanSubbing with the New York PhilharmonicAuditioning for and touring with Emerson, Lake & Palmer (including opening Bolero in front of 50,000 people at Soldier Field!)A 20-year relationship and collaboration with Frank Zappa, sparked by a handwritten letterThe long road to commissioning the Philip Glass Double Timpani Concerto and why it had to become a double concertoHis work at NYU, including powerful new pieces by Lenny White and Tim Adams, connected to Black Lives Matter and the murder of George FloydJonathan is a phenomenal storyteller, and the combination of history, humor, honesty, and perspective makes this one of the most compelling conversations I've had.Thank you for listening.
