Since the rise of the MeToo movement in the mid-2010s, masculinity has reentered the cultural conversation with force. On the left, masculinity is often seen as a problem and rarely referenced without “toxic” as a descriptor. Men simply need to shape up and stand down. On the right, a pro-male movement has bubbled up in response. Men simply need to own their dominance and take charge. Does Christianity have anything different—or better—to say?To view a transcript of this lecture, listen here.

Sax player, composer and author Phillip Johnston lives in Sydney, Australia, but for many years he was a familiar figure on New York's downtown jazz and new music scene. He cofounded the Microscopic Septet – the band that did the theme song for the NPR show Fresh Air, led the bands Big Trouble, and the Transparent Quartet, and was an early pioneer in writing new music for old silent films. In fact, his book Silent Films/Loud Music, has just come out in paperback, and it brings Phillip and his New York gang to the studio to play some special trio arrangements of his film music.  Set list: "The Unknown. Part 1: 'Men's Hands'", "The Mermaid", "Hydrothérapie Fantastique"

Phillip Johnston of Embedded Artistry, Tyler Hoffman of Memfault, and Elecia White discuss the software tasks that tend to fall through the cracks after the device has all its features but before it is in customers' hands. Noah Pendleton of Memfault was the moderator.  You can see the video on the Embedded YouTube channel or directly from memfault (also see their other panels and webinars).

Phillip Johnston joined us to talk about how engineering approaches can change over time.  This conversation started with Phillip's Embedded Artistry blog post How Our Approach to Abstract Interfaces Has Changed Over the Years. His new course is Designing Embedded Software for Change.  Embedded Artistry has a Design Pattern Catalogue (though Elecia was looking at Software design patterns on Wikipedia during the podcast). https://github.com/embvm  Phillip is working with Memfault on an ongoing embedded systems panel. The first topic they covered was observability metrics for IoT devices. There is a panel coming up on how to debug embedded devices in production. Some reading that Phillip mentioned: Toward a New Model of Abstraction in Software Engineering by Gregor Kiczales A Procedure for Designing Abstract Interfaces for Device Interface Modules by Kathryn Heninger Britton, R.

To download this lecture on your mobile device, click “Listen in podcast app.”Jesus begins his teaching with what have long been called the beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12). These statements of ‘blessing’ are some of the most comforting words in all of Scripture, but there is much confusion about what they mean. Is Jesus providing entrance requirements for the kingdom of God? Is he telling us about God’s favourite people? In this lecture, Phillip Johnston makes the case that Jesus stands on the mountain as a philosopher casting his vision for true human flourishing. The beatitudes are Christ’s invitation to the good life.For more lectures, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over one thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity.

Fed Square is partnering with ACMI, Melbourne's home of gaming, films and screen culture to bring you the outdoor cinema silent film series free on our big screen. But wait, there's more – each of these films is accompanied by musicians performing live to create a new, original and fantastical soundtrack. Wrap ya ears around that one. From Bluegrass thrumming to rhythmic drumming, Fed Square x ACMI are your pals for a free outdoor cinematic extravaganza this summer.  On this week's episode, Phillip Brophy hosts a conversation with musician Phillip Johnston about his process of creating a new score for "The Adventures of Prince Achmed". Phillip Johnston is an American-born saxophonist and composer whose extensive work includes jazz and contemporary composition, and music for film, theatre, and a variety of ensembles. Johnston has composed scores for some classic films from the silent era including Faust (1926), Page of Madness (1926) and short films by Georges Méliès. Philip Brophy is a respected academic, filmmaker, writer and musician. He writes for Frieze, The Wire, Film Comment, and Real Time. After a series of Super 8 shorts with Tsk-Tsk-Tsk in the early ‘80s, and the experimental short feature Salt, Saliva, Sperm & Sweat in 1988, Philip Brophy made his feature directorial debut with Body Melt in 1993, funded by the Australian Film Commission and Film Victoria. He has scored and sound-designed most of his films, and designed the sound and composed music for numerous shorts. In this field Brophy specializes in Dolby Surround applications and contemporary soundscapes. SUBSCRIBE to Fed Square: https://bit.ly/3ioxRjr   World-class art galleries and installations.

In the early days of the modern 'green' movement, Francis Schaeffer published Pollution and the Death of Man, a short book occasioned by impoverished assumptions about humanity's place in nature among both evangelical Christians and secular environmentalists. This lecture will look at Schaeffer's Christian ecology and put his ideas in dialogue with an influential preacher (John MacArthur) and a lauded novelist (Richard Powers).

One thing that Jazz and Circus have in common is that--unlike way too many things that we see in our daily lives--you can't fake them. You cannot pretend you're an expert among circus or jazz artists… If you are not … it'll show! And this authenticity may be one of the reasons why they seem so precious in this age of disposable fakeness. Here we continue our exploration of the connections between jazz and circuls with a dolly shot of circus acts, fire eaters, mimes, jugglers and many more. Enjoy the show, and don't forget that jazz never fails to be our safety net when we fall off the trapeze because the other guy didn't bother reaching out for us... The playlist features Rusty Bryant, Tuatara, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Mathilde Santing, Paolo Fresu, Rez Abbasi, Trio Grande & Matthew Bourne, Django Bates, Phillip Johnston, James Chance, Nucleus, Noël McGhie and Charlie Haden. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/11882854/Mondo-Jazz (from Rusty Bryant onwards).

A new MP3 sermon from Tabernacle Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: A Biblical view of ministry pt2 Speaker: Phillip Johnston Broadcaster: Tabernacle Baptist Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 5/24/2020 Bible: 1 Corinthians 4:1-15 Length: 33 min.

This week's episode features audio from a workshop by Phillip Johnston entitled, The Perfect Lie of Liberty - Pursuing Freedom in a Culture of Choice. An inescapable aspect of life today is a constant sense of FOMO (fear of missing out). We are awash in options, a condition that has led to increased anxiety rather than enduring peace. At the root of this anxiety is a commonplace misunderstanding of freedom. What if true freedom is more than simply the ability to choose what we want? Phillip Johnston’s L’Abri journey began in 2008 when he walked through the big red door at Southborough L’Abri and quickly realized his abundant cynicism was a vice, not a virtue. Though a Christian from an early age, this dawning awareness opened his heart to the beauty of Christ and left him a changed person. In the ensuing years, Phillip spent time as a helper at Southborough and at English L’Abri before enrolling at Covenant Theological Seminary in 2012. After completing a Master of Divinity in 2015, Phillip took up a post as a worker at English L’Abri for over two years. While in England, he met a Nashvillian named Christa and returned to the USA to marry her in 2018. He now lives and works in East Nashville. Phillip is an avid student of the Bible and culture, and finds great joy in helping people navigate the many barriers to Christian belief that proliferate in our distracting, secular world. He geeks out on slow movies, Bach cantatas, liturgical theology, and all things food. He’s also the curator of Three Things, a newsletter digest of three resources to help readers better engage with God, neighbor, and culture.

Anthony Braxton playing standards? Don Byron and Phillip Johnston playing the music of Raymond Scott? Nothing to be surprised about... as musicians have a more open mind than critics like to recognize. So here's the second part of this week's show focusing on retro-sounding jazz performed by forward-leaning musicians - a bit like the jazz equivalent of Blade Runner. For the first part go to https://www.mixcloud.com/MondoJazz/avant-retro-or-retro-avant-mondo-jazz-103-1/ Happy listening! The playlist features also Matt Darriau's Ballin' the Jack, Enrico Terragnoli's Orchestra Vertical, Mauro Ottolini's Sousaphonix, Francesco Bearzatti Tinissima Quartet, Phillip Johnston's Big Trouble, Don Byron, Farmers Market, Anthony Braxton, The Four Bags, Mostly Other People Do the Killing, and Moppa Elliott. Detailed playlist at: https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/10322837/Mondo-Jazz (from Vangelis onward)

This week we focus on the art of the duo. A challenging format as one does neither have the complete freedom of a solo nor the support of a larger band. Yet, in the hands of the right artists, it can produce magical music. During the first hour we feature Geri Allen & Marcus Belgrave, Joe Henderson & Christian McBride, Fabrizio Bosso & Julian Oliver Mazzariello, Michael Blake & Kresten Osgood, Günter Sommer & Till Brönner, Charlie Hunter & Leon Parker, Marc Ducret & Herb Robertson, Jim Hall & Joey Baron, Roberto Ottaviano & Mal Waldron, Gil Evans & Steve Lacy, Don Byron & Jason Moran, Steve Kuhn & Joe Lovano. In the the second part there's a special emphasis on duos featuring saxophonists as well as drummers with the music of Vincent Peirani & Emile Parisien; Lionel Martin & Sangoma Everett; TOTM - Tivoli of the Mind; Guy Klucevsek & Phillip Johnston; Paul Weiling & Dave Tronzo; Aldo Romano & Joe Lovano; Ted Poor & Andrew D'Angelo; William Parker & Hamid Drake; Uli Kempendorff’s Field; Max Roach & Dizzy Gillespie; Massimo Colombo & Felice Clemente; Mats Eilertsen; NickHead; Nicole Johänntgen & Thomas Lahns; Joe Lovano & Hank Jones.

This week we have have decided to do the jazz shuffle, and by shuffle we don't mean the jazz rhythm, but the randomized play. A perfect approach to revel through unexpected pairings, daring juxtapositions and accidental non sequiturs. After all if one is careful to only add great music in an ipod or music collection, then no matter how random the selection is, it'll sound good. Enjoy jumping from John Zorn to Vinicius Cantuaria, from Don Byron to United Future Organization, from Ornette Coleman to Timi Yuro, from Towa Tei to Bill Evans or from Captain Beefheart to Lester Bowie and realizing that it all makes perfect sense. The playlist features also: Osmiza, Calvin Keys, Oliver Nelson, Keely Smith, John Fourie, Stanley Turrentine, Ben Allison, George Lewis, Bill Frisell, Lucio Dalla, Phillip Johnston, Steve Argüelles, Rodney Kendrick, Jason Moran, Skopje Connection, Leo Gasperoni 3Quietmen, Bunky Green Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/9529864/Mondo-Jazz

This week's episode features audio from a workshop by Phillip Johnston entitled, Bodies with Meaning: Christianity’s Liberating Sex Ethic. The historic Christian understanding of sex – that the one proper place for sexual expression is in the covenanted marriage of one man and one woman – is often viewed in our day as an absurd vestige of outdated religion that places unrealistic limitations on human freedom. We describe such a view as traditional, but in the first-century world where Christianity was born, this ethic was both revolutionary and liberating. Could it ever be seen this way again? Phillip Johnston’s L’Abri journey began in 2008 when he walked through the big red door at Southborough L’Abri and quickly realized his abundant cynicism was a vice, not a virtue. Though a Christian from an early age, this dawning awareness opened his heart to the beauty of Christ and left him a changed person.

La fama del sassofonista Phillip Johnston, uno dei protagonista della nuova scena di avanguardia newyorkese emersa negli anni ottanta, è legata soprattutto al brillante gruppo Microscopic Septet di cui è stato co-fondatore (all'inizio ne ha fatto parte anche John Zorn). Nel 2005 Johnston si è trasferito a Sidney, dove lavora con diversi dei migliori musicisti australiani. Con alcuni di loro ha dato vita a Phillip Johnston and the Coolerators, di cui Diggin' Bones è l'album di esordio. Johnston ha una lunga esperienza come autore di musica da film e di musiche per film muti (e sul tema dei film muti ha scrito anche saggi ed è intervenuto a convegni). The Adventures of Prince Achmed è una brillante e godibilissima colonna sonora realizzata per dare una veste musicale contemporanea (quella originale era di carattere sinfonico) al film dallo stesso titolo, un pionieristico esempio di cinema di animazione creato nel 1926 in Germania dalla regista Lotte Reiniger con una tecnica che si rifaceva a quella delle ombre cinesi.

Sound Propositions the podcast has the same mission statement as the written Sound Propositions features: to share in depth discussions with artists whose work we love, to delve into the details of their creative practice. This episode features saxophonist and composer Phillip Johnston, known for his work with genre-bending jazz ensemble The Microscopic Septet, the Beefheart tribute Fast 'N Bulbous, and as the composer of silent film scores. Johnston moved to Australia over a decade ago, but NYC still feels like his home turf. We were both back in town last November for Thanksgiving, and we met to discuss memory, music, media, the (not-so-silent) history of silent film, and his long-association with the various music scenes of NYC. Special thanks to Phillip, Joyce, Steve, and Smalls. Read more, including a tracklist, at www.acloserlisten.com

When asked what happened when Jesus was crucified, many Christians can give little more than short, pithy summaries: 'He was dying for our sins' or 'He was taking our punishment' or 'He was showing how much God loved us.' The Bible has more to say. As preparation for Good Friday, this lecture explores the deep terror and unspeakable comfort of the brutal execution at the heart of Christian faith. A lecture given by Phillip Johnston (L'Abri Worker) at English L'Abri on 23rd March, 2018. For more information, visit labri.org/england and for more L'Abri lectures, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library.

Saint Augustine once wrote, 'For when we ask whether someone is a good man, we are not asking what he believes, or hopes, but what he loves.’ This lecture explores the primacy of love in the Christian life by encouraging the cultivation of a love for God which deepens our enjoyment of God’s good gifts.
