On today's Get Fact'd segment, Darren Maule shares there: Researchers were able to predict whether or not a couple will stay together with extreme accuracy based on one partner's reaction to things that excited the other. Take a listen for an example. The the Portsmouth Sinfonia is the “worst orchestra in the world,” consisting of people without musical training or musicians attempting to play an instrument for the first time. Take a listen to their number. In 1985, in the midst of the cold war, US President Ronald Reagan and USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev made a pact to put both their countries differences aside and have their armies join as one if an alien invasion ever happened.

Avui, per començar l'any amb bon peu, hem obert una nova llauna de Conserves Musicals, amb el músic i escriptor de Deltebre Miquel Àngel Marín. Avui hem parlat de Carles Andreu i de la Portsmouth Sinfonia, dos exemples de llibertat musical i expressió natural.

On May 28, 1974, the worst orchestra in the world performed at the Royal Albert Hall. That's not so unusual. The Albert Hall isn't Carnegie Hall. It's not an exclusive, prestigious venue where only the greatest may perform. It is simply London's most historic gathering place. Many strange and marvelous things have happened there, including militant political rallies, beat poetry, and appearances by celebrity ghosts. In this episode of Ghost Echoes, we present you five extraordinary evenings at the Albert Hall. Follow on Facebook | Twitter | Podchaser Music and Sound Notes: -- The episode opens with the Portsmouth Sinfonia's performance of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. The section on the opening concert of the RAH features the final chorus from Arthur Sullivan's cantata On Shore and Sea, performed by the soloists, chorus and orchestra of the Imperial Opera, conducted by Michael Withers. The final section on the RAH in the 60s contains snippets from Cream's performance of “Spoonful” in the hall, and Pink Floyd rehearsing “A Saucerful of Secrets” with Rick Wright on the grand organ, just before the show that got them “banned for life.” Further reading, listening: -- A great deal of basic information came from the official Royal Albert Hall website. -- Information on the suffragette movement's meetings in the RAH came from this piece by Susanne Keyte in the Telegraph, and History is a Weapon, where you can read Emmaline Pankhurst's full speech. -- This contemporaneous account in Time Magazine helped flesh out Arthur Conan Doyle's seance. The audio of Conan Doyle speaking about spiritualism–as well as the audio of “Conan Doyle” speaking at a seance four years after his death–are from the collection of the British Library. -- John Bennett's Krayology was enormously useful for the section on the Kray twins. More detail came from Steve Bunce in the Independent. -- The International Poetry Incarnation is discussed at some length in the documentary A Technicolour Dream. It is also the subject of the documentary Wholly Communion, which is where the clips of Ginsberg and company come from.

The Portsmouth Sinfonia billed themselves as “indisputably, the worst orchestra in the world.” They have brought joy into the lives of millions. In the fifth episode of Ghost Echoes, we learn about the importance and healing effects of failure. Music and Sound Notes: -- The recording of Vivaldi's Concerto for two trumpets heard here is NOT Matthew Parsons and his colleague Glenn Skelton. It is in fact Michel Rondeau (presumably double tracked) and organist Alaine Letendre, sourced from Musopen. -- Here's Chi-Chi Nwanoku's BBC performance of Failing by Tom Johnson. -- The snippets heard shortly after are from “It Never Entered My Mind” performed by the Miles Davis Quartet, the third movement of Bach's Italian Concerto performed by Glenn Gould, the first movement of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto performed by Patricia Kopatchinskaja with Teodor Currentzis conducting MusicaEterna, and Hans Abrahamsen's let me tell you as sung by Barbara Hannigan with Andris Nelsons conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. -- All the tracks by the Portsmouth Sinfonia are from their debut album, The Portsmouth Sinfonia Plays the Popular Classics. The works excerpted from here are Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, the first movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony, and “The Blue Danube” by Johann Strauss II. Further reading, listening: -- Information on the Portsmouth Sinfonia came from Cornelius Cardew: A Life Unfinished by John Tilbury and this piece by Eric Grundhauser. -- Thanks to Berlin Atmospherics for the applause SFX.

Many people are reinventing themselves under lockdown. So, when an email popped into my inbox 10 days ago inviting me to 15 minutes of smiling, laughing and connecting to boost my immune system and lift my mood for the rest of day, I thought 'Yes...that's exactly what we ALL need' so I made a podcast about it. Flora Wellesley Wesley is a dancer, choreographer, teacher and writer and sits on the council of Equity (choreographers' seat). She is also a founder member of Nora, a contemporary dance ensemble who make highly original work constantly challenging boundaries. In this podcast we hear pieces of Nora's work woven through Flora's laughter workshop and a sung portrait of her made for '52 portraits' at Sadler's Wells.“When you laugh, you change and when you change the whole world changes around you.” – Dr Madan Kataria, medical doctor and founder of Laughter Yoga.Daily classes are listed at www.florawellesleywesley.com.'52 Portraits' is a digital project by choreographer Jonathan Burrows, composer Matteo Fargion and video maker Hugo Glendinning.

The kids aren't going back to school this year. In Washington state 1.2 million students are making history. The president is busy approving drugs and plumbers are dealing with t-shirt clogged toilets. There has been a concern with the at-home news journalists that you can only see from the waist up and I assure you, I’m wearing pants. I was on the fence with that joke just like I am with this episode, the Social Distancing Episode. I’m seeing a reality show pilot here. I’d comment on that but my job is to bring compelling and educational content to you during these days of masks and isolation. As stated in past shows, my sense of humor is that of a 14-year-old boy. I bonked my head as a young teen and you got stuck with “do anything for a laugh” Bruce. (http://bettereachday.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Bruce-101.jpg) Which brings us to this work of art I like to call the Social Distancing Symphony. You’ll find it’s in a classical ternary form, a symmetrical structure in music most often represented by the letters ABA...or ABBA, as in abba dabba do, the pop vocal band from Sweden. It begins with Thus Spake Zarathustra, or 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra.'  It's a philosophical parable that follows the wanderings of a character called Zarathustra, a Nietzschean prophet. And here’s the catcher. Nietzsche's perspective, and that of his protagonist Zarathustra, is the opposite of Zoroastrianism; this is meant as a kind of ironic joke. I know you appreciate that knee slapper.  How many rips do you give? You might recognize it as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Most likely you won’t recognize it at all. So, here it is. There couldn’t be more than 30 copyright infringements in this absolutely annoying collage of sick sound bites ranging from Yoko Ono, Chanel West Coast, an obnoxious kid with a kazoo, more cowbell, banjo, Mrs. Miller, Pee-wee Herman, Tiny Tim, assorted animals, the Portsmouth Sinfonia and just the right amount of 14-year-old boy humor. For that, I humbly apologize. So please welcome this social distancing masterpiece, the Social Distancing Symphony. I just don’t know what to follow that with so here’s a new song from last week’s guests England’s Fitzsimon and Brogan, a song called Breathe. That song will be out this July on Fitzsimon and Brogan’s new album. Now here’s a song of mine that most likely will be on my June release EP, this is a song about being everything distanced, being trapped in Endless Rain. Honor your future, it comes with a lifetime guarantee. This is Bruce Hilliard...over and out!

Das "Portsmouth Sinfonia" Orchester war einzigartig und schlecht. Kein Witz. Nach einem Konzert in London wird das Orchester zum schlechtesten Orchester der Welt erklärt und das, obwohl Profimusiker am Werk waren. Unglaublich.

On today’s show, Soleil will be talking about one of her favorite subjects: the act of faking it. Why do we do it, and what does it mean when we accuse others of doing it? And what does the impostor tell us about the boundaries we erect in order to define ourselves and our place in the world? To answer those questions, she’ll take on the Portsmouth Sinfonia, the phenomenon of the “fake geek girl,” Rachel Dolezal, and the awful—but perhaps enlightening—film White Chicks. We have two guests on the show this week: first, Soleil talks with Michi Trota, managing editor of the two-time Hugo Award-winning Uncanny Magazine, about how to it feels to be pushed out of a community is supposed to be all about celebrating outcasts. Then Soleil speaks with Amalia Nicholson—a content producer and cohost of the podcast Borrowed Interest, a show that focuses on the experiences of Black women in advertising—about everyone’s favorite Wayans Brothers movie (besides Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, of course).

This is the episode that starts off in a delicious amateurism with The Portsmouth Sinfonia, I then ask you to consider what would the world be like if Mick Jagger were french, with a Gallic turner from the classic 60's film Performance, after which we veer sideways into last weeks end piece character 60’s avant-garde sound artist Alvin Lucier, this time he is performing and then discussing some of his work, and at some point he segues back into the fabulous Dr. Chicago character and then back into Artist Lucier, at which point i ask you to really meditate upon where one begins and another actually ends…… Patty Hearst, Captain Beefheart and some 78’s move us towards a sound recording of the security at the Really Free School and we limp toward the end of our hour with disgracefully disgraced sex therapist Wilhelm Reich or at least his Wife..... who's that?
