**yawn** Oh, there you are, dear listeners. You seemed to have caught me at a moment of residual drowsiness while experiencing my peacefully calm awakening. Give me just a second to open the curtains to let a sliver of morning light into my hovering capsule as I prepare a warm cup of coffee to thaw out my still-wandering grey matter. Would you like coffee, tea, hot chocolate? Name it, and I'll prepare it for you so that our morning routine of our minds slowly blossoming into the day is met with success and gratitude. If you'll allow, I'd love to drop a coin into the cosmic jukebox to get a jingle going. I have just the one. It's a lullaby wrapped in the stars and delivered softly to the transmission tower that beams radiant solace in the form of aural sugar. Today, as we climb skyward, you will notice the fog in our minds will give way to clouds that form familiar figures that only our individual imaginations can decipher. These clouds are multi-purpose in that they also form pillowy soft foundations that help us prepare for witnessing the splendor of Mother Earth coming around. Once the sky begins to awake, cherish the moments of viewing blissful colors in the sky, hearing the sounds of earthly gears beginning to rotate, and seeing life flourish once again. This phenomenon happens daily, but every time it's like the first. Bask in the glow that rains down from above, and realize the fortunes you have to be given allow you this luxury. Take time to reflect upon those who are not with us and no longer have this awakening luxury. In their honor, celebrate an appreciation for them that they impressed upon your memory with peaceful reverence. Seeing the sun rising and setting is a commemorative episode, one which we should celebrate. You old boy Tonepoet is here to hang out with you in the cloud chamber during this event. Mentally bathe yourself in the rich light that the heavens have delivered to you. This is a nectar of renewal, so lather up, rinse, and repeat. Unify with the peaceful envelope of optimism, hope, and emanate good will to one another. Yes, I'm a hippie today. It would be remiss of me not to mention this episode's esteemed co-captain on the voyage who happens to be one of my all-time favorite artists: HIDDEN SKY. Hidden Sky soared up from the land down under and boasts an impressive vault of sonic poetry. I own every Hidden Sky release, I'd be a fool not to, and I did my best to insert his music throughout the mix. Pay Hidden Sky a visit and show the love. Peace.

Episode transcript available here.Connection, Reconnection, Space and Belonging are the themes of the show this week in The West Meeting Room. Braeden hosts the show this week and calls Hart House Stories alumni producers Saba, Nermeen and Sabahat to reconnect across multiple time zones and reminisce about our time working together a year go in the West Meeting Room (the namesake of our show!). We recall a field trip we took to a sound exhibit that summer. As we move through these lonely days longing for connection, we remind ourselves of what it felt like to pile into a small space together and laugh and cry and share our stories with one other. To summon the remembering of that day, we begin the show with a piece by multimedia artist Phoebe Wang, titled "Isn't It Lovely?". It was one of the installations featured in the Resonant Bodies exhibit by Constellations, a collective of sound artists. This piece is an immersive multitrack tapestry of soundscapes and conversations that were bouncing off the walls of a constructed hideout at the exhibit and eventually made its way into our collective memories of a time when togetherness and shared space could coexist with ease. To check out Constellations and all of the amazing pieces featured in the Resonant Bodies exhibit that day visit the site below: www.constellationsaudio.com/resonantbodies
Episode transcript available here.Joining us in The West Meeting Room this week was multidisciplinary artist Phoebe Wang. She shared with us a bit about her process in constructing her piece "Isn't it Lovely?" for the Constellations' Resonant Bodies exhibit at the Toronto Media Arts Centre this past summer. We also had a lovely conversation about vulnerability and using different media and tools to explore an idea. To see more of Phoebe's work and the photo series "Quirk Hunting" we discussed, visit her website: www.phoebewang.com Phoebe is also one of the co-founders of the POC in audio directory which can be found here: pocinaudio.com/aboutYou can also follow her on Twitter and Instagram @FeebsWang

Constellations returns on October 25 to Dec 2 with Resonant Bodies – an online exhibition and short season about the interactions between bodies and their environments. It features original works by: Aliya Pabani Chandra Melting Tallow Cheldon Paterson Kaija Siirala Jon Tjhia Phoebe Wang We asked these artists to create works in response to this provocation by Walter Ong: "Sight isolates, sound incorporates. Whereas sight situates the observer outside what [they view], at a distance, sound pours into the hearer."

Lucy Dhegrae is a vocalist and the founder of the Resonant Bodies Festival, an international organization dedicated to curating vocalists. Lucy and Cameron talk about tailoring festivals to artists, the future of online databases for sheet music, and Lucy's insta-famous cat, Mona.
Mary Bonhag, who performs on the closing night of Resonant Bodies 2017 in New York, has planned a set that combines her love of text, humor, unconducted chamber music, and programming all in one. In this episode we talk about her nearest and dearest collaborators, and the way her favorite pieces seem to have magical, spell-casting properties. Mary is the co-artistic director of Scrag Mountain Music which is in her home state of Vermont.
Davóne Tines brings not only his gorgeous and powerful voice to all of his performances, but also a thoughtfulness about his platform, and an ability to engage with the social consciousness. In our conversation, we discuss his upcoming 2017 Resonant Bodies set on September 5th entitled “Memorial”, a preview of a forthcoming album connecting songs that span time and genre with questions about spirituality, family, and community. We also discuss Davóne’s work with artists like Peter Sellars, Kaija Saariaho, and John Adams; his education at Harvard and Juilliard; and his process of engaging with harder-to-look-at subject matter.
