What does it mean to rethink religion from the ground up? University of Colorado's religious studies professor Sam Gill draws on biology, philosophy, and decades of research and dance practice to argue that we are moving, whole organisms before we are divided into mind and body. Gill proposes that humans possess a biologically enabled capacity to hold together what we know to be different as if it were the same—a dynamic that underlies the powers of metaphor, masking, dancing, ritual action, symbol, and language. Through vivid examples from Hopi initiation, Javanese shadow puppetry and dance, and Navajo prayer ceremonials, Gill shows how religious actions create worlds, identities, and enduring cultural coherence.

We got songs of all sorts tonight and non-songs for most sorts too. Take your pick! LISTEN AGAIN – you can stream on demand @ fbi.radio or podcast here. Abigail Snail – Good Grief [Romac Puncture Repairs] Abigail Snail – Attach Bayonets [Romac Puncture Repairs] You can get an idea of the experimental roots background of London guitarist Stef Ketteringham, usually known as Stef Kett, from his 10-year-old Guitar Arrangements (2016) and its sequel More Guitar Arrangements from the following year – a loose, free jazz approach to bluesy guitar, the outer limits of American Primitive. It’s not that far from there to punk rock, but nor is it far from the swamp. Garage rock is more the touchstone with Abigail Snail though, when Kett, on vox, guitar & bass, teams up with the incredibly versatile drummer Will Glaser, who’s played with the likes of Sly & the Family Drone, Yazz Ahmad, Ruth Goller and many other luminaries of the London jazz scene, and released an incredible solo album last year. The music’s a kind of hysterical, broken-down form of garage rock, dragged into swampy blues-jazz with the addition of James Allsopp on tenor sax & bass clarinet, a fixture of London’s jazz & experimental scenes for the last 2 decades. The album bio describes them as “London spray band Abigail Snail”, and the raucous-yet-vulnerable music here could well suit this new genre (as you know, we at Utility Fog love ridiculous new genres). Anyway, stick this on your boombox and scare pedestrians as you cycle to work next week. Jungstötter – Overturn [Unguarded/Bandcamp] Fabian Altstötter founded his solo project Jungstötter some years after his postpunk band Sizarr went on hiatus. Solo, his music draws from the dramatic experimental songwriting of Scott Walker & David Sylvian – on 2023’s One Star, his rich vocals were offset by industrial rumblings and shifting electronics, muddled in pitch-shifted shadows of themselves, mashed beats interrupting the flow, horn and string arrangements that grow raucous. New album Sustained is now announced, and single “Overturn” is very pared down – just that voice, some percussion, sparse electric piano, field recordings of children’s voices and occasional single note hits from horns. Oh, and the scrabbling guitar at the end, all suggesting something creepy around the corner. No doubt this will be an excellent album. Massive Attack x Tom Waits – Boots on the Ground [PIAS Records/Bandcamp] The most unexpected release of the century? Given that Tom Waits‘ last solo album Bad As Me came out in 2011, we could have been forgiven for expecting that was the end, but Massive Attack (who have stuck to random singles with feature artists for the last decade) convinced him to create this anti-war anthem, clattering percussion straight out of Tom’s Bone Machine, piano straight out of many of 3D’s productions, and Tom’s barked vocals which could refer to ICE or US troops in Venezuela, Iran, or heck, Vietnam. It’s proper chilling stuff. Loraine James – Flatline ft. Miho Hatori [Hyperdub/Bandcamp] From her soon-forthcoming album Detached From The Rest OF You, Loraine James here works with Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto on absolute thriller of a song, the beats a Loraine glitch-bass special and Hatori’s vocals spoken and sung but always cut-up. This is her “pop” album lol… Well, it’s full of great singers and James herself sings on more than a few tracks, but it’s still super experimental. Naavikaran & Simo Soo – For You Page (FYP) [Naavikaran Bandcamp] On her new EP MYSTIQ DISCOTHEQ, Naarm-based rapper Naavikaran puts a South Asian spin on her EDM-influenced rap & pop, enlisting Simo Soo to help bring out the deconstructed club vibes. Across the EP, Naavikaran raps and sings in Tamil, Marathi, Hindi and English, covering life as a disabled, LGBTQI+ refugee. Impressive and entertaining. deafkids – REFLEXO [Neurot Recordings/Bandcamp] Brazilian band deafkids may nominally be classed as “punk”, but hardcore punk mixes with industrial and noise in their sound, along with electronic music of all shapes. They released the incredible uncategorizable Metaprogramação on Neurosis‘ Neurot Recordings in 2019, and then when the pandemic hit, they put out a series of EPs that mixed Latin rhythmic complexity with guitar pedal and software experimentation, collected now on the album Ritos do Colapso. Except before that in 2020 came their collaboration DEAFBRICK with cross-continental noise-metal-industrial-electronic duo PETBRICK. So with various collabs and oddities in the interim, their forthcoming CICATRIZES DO FUTURO (Scars of the Future) is their first album proper since Metaprogramação. It looks to be more electronic, more intense, more angry than ever, a visceral reaction to the state of the world. Highly rhythmic and danceable, it shifts between hardcore punk, industrial, Latin American and club sounds with abandon. I can’t wait to hear the whole thing. james K – Doom Bikini (Hesaitix Remix) [AD93/Bandcamp] Following her vaporwave-trip-hop album Friend from last year, james K now reaches out for some heavy-duty Friends to remix the album. Hesaitix is the alias of James Whipple, better known as M.E.S.H, pioneer of “deconstructed club”. Here, though, he’s taking james K’s “Doom Bikini” and adding accelerated breakbeats in a lightweight jungle style. Very nice. Zoë Mc Pherson – Bang Bang (Nziria remix) [SFX/Bandcamp] Zoë Mc Pherson – Ambient Snake (Yushh remix) [SFX/Bandcamp] One of the leading lights of deconstructed club music (as we probably don’t call it anymore), Zoë Mc Pherson, releases the remix collection from last year’s Upside Down album, via their own SFX label. A great collection of various sorts of experimental bass music, including here some frenetic jungle/breakcore from Italian DJ & producer Nziria, and some ambient technoid lushness from Bristol’s Yushh, who will be playing here soon – at the Sydney Opera House, no less – for DUNJ’s Vivid Live event, also featuring Carrier and our own gi and Autogenesis. ARTISOMA – Boraq [YUKU/Bandcamp] Ravensburg, Germany-based producer Sarah Rendle ARTISOMA, debuting on YUKU with the Mobilya EP, exploring various configurations of UK bass and percussive techno. Quality production, as expected from anything on YUKU. OD Bongo – crystallinoron [Carton Records/Bandcamp] It’s almost inevitable that whatever is next released by French label Carton Records will be unlike whatever you’ve previously heard. Amédée de Murcia (aka Somaticae) on synths and Édouard Ribouillault aka C_C on drum machines, samplers & fx make up OD Bongo, whose second album Bongoville is technically co-released by Carton, zamzamrec, Prix Libre Record and basalte (whoever they are). This multiplicity of co-presentations is quite common in France it seems. Whoever you’re encountering it via, you’re in for a treat: hardware samplers, synths & drum machines produce a psychedelic cacophany of dance music styles, drawing in trap, juke and gqom with their bass-heavy techno – and a dub sensibility is ever-present. That’s got to hit the spot if you’re a Utility Fog listener! Haydn Douet Lukies – Amolador [Colectivo Casa Amarela/Bandcamp] Colectivo Casa Amarela are one of those Portuguese labels that you know will come through with the goods, even if you’re not sure what those goods will be. In the case of Old Dark Champagne, percussionist Haydn Douet Lukies uses his environment as his instruments – in this case the watery soundscape of Cacilhas, an industrial area in the estuary of Tagus River (Lisbon is built around that estuary), along with rusting chains, architectural surfaces and so on. But from these ingredients he makes music whose rhythms and sounds are linked to the beats of jungle, UK drill, industrial dub and other bass musics, as well as Arabic percussion and the Lisbon-centred, Afro-diasporic sounds of batida. It’s only an EP, and leaves us wanting more. Tristan Arp – Forking Paths [Kapsela/Bandcamp] Objekt‘s label Kapsela continues to be essential, now releasing an EP, Re-Weave, from the brilliant percussive techno sound-artist Tristan Arp. Case in point, tonight’s track “Forking Paths” starts with blissful synth arpeggios, but a minute and a bit in, rolling snares and a light but prominent “tok” on the 2nd & 4th beats drop in, switching into a syncopated bassline, and these various parts undulate and shuffle through the course of the track. The title is a reference to Borges’ classic story “The Garden of Forking Paths”, but also to the EP’s dedication to weaving mycelial networks and labyrinths. Beautiful. Yunzero – Cool Skunk [Yunzero Bandcamp] Naarm’s Jim Sellars makes some of the most weirdly crunchy, alternate-reality sample-based music of the last decade or so, under the name Yunzero. As the quote says on this new 2-tracker, “there’s something off”. If you wanted a summary of Utility Fog’s favourite kinds of music, “there’s something off” is a pretty good one, and it’s not a bad description of the jittery, rhythmic pieces on show here. Hora Lunga – Hearing through the Wall ft. Junge Eko [Hora Lunga Bandcamp] One album I loved from last year came from Argentinian cellist Violeta García working with the Swiss composer/producer Hora Lunga. The two musicians melded sound-art and noise with acoustic gestures, post-club sub-bass and glitched ambiences. Now Hora Lunga presents his New Age Music Vol. 2-3, which couches new agey soundscapes in post-modern irony (check the CD-R edition, which comes enclosed in repurposed pop album packaging). Deliberately awkward edits cultivate a sense of unease, only emphasised with guest vocals from the likes of Junge Eko aka Catia Lanfranchi, whispering over stop-start breaks. García appears with a vocal performance that pairs with industrial beats reminiscent of Atari Teenage Riot; meanwhile there’s angelic voice and distortion on “Doom Metal”, which is actually more like shoegaze, while Sam Portugal brings something more like black metal vocals to the dubbed-out “When I”. The double-album lurches from one genre to the next, never alighting on “new age” as such, but embodying the new, the post-, at all times. Joseph Branciforte & Jozef Dumoulin – ⊐ [greyfade/Bandcamp] With his greyfade label, NY composer, sound-artist & designer Joseph Branciforte presents music at the crossroads of contemporary classical, contemporary jazz and experimental electronic, especially where they meet in minimalism. This has led to some remarkable ideas, like the Folio edition of an acoustic reconstruction of Taylor Deupree‘s ambient-glitch classic Stil. Glitch, though, is a hallmark of the label, especially with Branciforte’s own works like the label’s debut release LP1 and its follow-up, which paired Branciforte with brilliant jazz singer Theo Bleckmann, with Branciforte on electronics and Fender Rhodes. That instrument brings us to this new collaboration, with Belgian Rhodes player Jozef Dumoulin. Both artists play their own Fender Rhodes, re-sampling and processing in realtime, and the music is (re)constructed from small fragments – but don’t think this is austere studio deconstruction; Joseph & Jozef are seasoned improvisers, and their intuitive connection is found throughout. In addition, a lot of the “editing” was done live in Branciforte’s realtime editing software. The album is released in a special deluxe edition with the whole 70 minute work on one CD, and an additional 4 CDs which contain the tracks spread out across them, to be re-sequenced or even layered if the listener wishes. Jonas Cambien – Tre – RADIO EDIT [Sonic Transmissions Records/Bandcamp] Rhythmic sounds here which hint at glitch-edits but are purely prepared piano, from Oslo-based Belgian pianist Jonas Cambien, whose Man Eating Tree is released by Norwegian label Sonic Transmissions Records. The release consists of four pieces, I believe part improvised and part composed, of rhythmic movement and minimalist gestures on prepared & unprepared piano and electric organ. Lovely stuff. Microfiche – Number 7 [Earshift Music/Bandcamp] One of Eora/Sydney’s best jazz bands, Microfiche, have their third album With Time coming out on June 12th. The album marks 10 years together as a band, and bids farewell to pianist/keyboardist Novak Manojlovic – replaced live now by the brilliant guitarist Hilary Geddes, although Novak still plays on the album, along with clarinettist/violist Phillippa Murphy-Haste, bassist Max Alduca, trumpeter Nick Calligeros, saxophonist Sam Gill (recently awarded the 2025 Freedman Jazz Fellowship) and drummer Holly Conner (who you’ve heard filling in on this show on a number of occasions). All of them are interested in music across genre, all are composers and improvisers and producers one way or other. The first single from the album is composed by Novak, and it’s a beautifully restrained piece with subtle details, clusters of virtuosity inside small musical gestures. The whole album’s special, stay tuned for more! Mariam Wallentin & Vestnorsk Jazzensemble – Basel [Hubro] Here’s a new single from an album that’s coming… sometime… from the great Norwegian label Hubro. Mariam Wallentin is one of the most extraordinary singers of our age – known for her postrock/pop/experimental duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums with her husband, drummer Andreas Werliin, and for her immense, emotive vocals with Fire! Orchestra, the Nordic free jazz big band centred around the Swedish trio Fire! formed by Werliin along with bassist Johan Berthlin and saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. Wallentin also has a solo project as Mariam The Believer which is perhaps more pop but still involves many experimental/jazz musicians. Here she is working with the Vestnorsk Jazzensemble, a jazz ensemble based in Bergen in the west of Norway, who commissioned a collaboration with Wallentin which reworks material from Mariam The Believer and even going back to Wildbirds & Peacedrums. However, “Basel” is a new song, a slow jazz groove with a pensive melody. Can’t wait to hear the rest. Claire Dickson – Waterfeel [New Amsterdam Records/Bandcamp] New York’s New Amsterdam Records are notionally a classical label, who tend to put out contemporary classical-adjacent pop, indie and experimental music as much as full-blown orchestral/ensemble work such as Sarah Kirkland Snider‘s compositions. On her second NewAm album Balance, Berlin-based Claire Dickson writes beautiful, laid-back songs around patient synth & piano patterns, fluttering strings, twinkling harp… Even when Lesley Mok‘s drums and Zoh Amba‘s sax are in the picture, it’s the slow-paced ostinati that call the shots. Dreamy & lovely stuff. Freda D’Souza – unravel (when ya comin back?) [Freda D’Souza Bandcamp] Speaking of low-key… Freda D’Souza is a London-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who you may have heard me bugging you about before – or not, because she is the exact opposite of prolific. Her Windowledge EP from 2023 is small but perfectly formed and “The Love Song of J Alfreda D’Souza” speaks to me both on the pun level and also just as a wondrous song & performance. Anyway, how lucky are we then that she’s just pushed out a tiny single, with the lovely “lullabye” as the lead but backed up with a blissful Björk cover! The glitched, twinkling electronics of Vespertine (still my favourite Björk era) are replaced by layers of her voice and strings. Then again, if you like doom & post-metal, Freda’s band Wēven have just released their Wychelm EP, which is highly worth your time too. Listen again — ~214MB

Our guests today are, Diego Saez-Gil of Pachama and Sam Gill of Sylvera, and we're talking about forestry carbon offsets.Forestry carbon offsets were designed as a financial tool to provide an economic incentive for landowners to make alternative decisions, to pay landowners to keep their forests intact in the case of deforestation avoidance credits or to reforest previously damaged land in the case of reforestation credits. The money for this economic incentive comes from large actors who can then take "credit" for their action and apply it against the carbon footprint of their own organization. This is a carbon offset. In the simplest terms, if part of a company cannot decarbonize quickly, but still aims to achieve net-zero emissions, they can pay a forest landowner to preserve their forest and take an agreed upon amount of carbon off their balance sheet accordingly. And it's a relatively new thing. Forestry carbon offsets have become a popular product over the last decade, and like any maturing industry, it has challenges.Diego and Sam are here to walk us through why forests matter, the history of offsets and how they work, some of the challenges highlighted recently, and what they think the path forward looks like. Regardless of what you think of carbon offsets, this is a crucial problem to solve. Without an economic incentive to maintain and regrow the world's forests, any thought of avoiding the worst effects of climate change is out the window. In this episode, we cover: Diego's background and intro to PachamaSam's experience and an overview of SylveraForests in the world today and why they matter for climateRisk of deforestation and the Amazon becoming a self-reinforcing negative feedback loopHow the story of biodiversity has changed from a forestry perspectiveEconomic levers at play with regard to forests, including reforestation and afforestationThe link between forest credits, offsets, and carbon marketsProblems associated with deforestation credits and managing illegal activityThe voluntary market for deforestation credits, who's buying and whyHow deforestation credits are measured now and historicallyMeasuring reforestation and afforestation projectsDiego and Sam's thoughts on a recent article in The Guardian claiming that most forest carbon offsets are worthlessHow Sylvera assesses forest projects and its reaction to The Guardian articlePachama's approach to creating synthetic baselines and validating the uncertainty of predictionsOvercoming challenges through collaborationPredictions for the future of forest carbon marketsGet connected: Cody Simms Twitter / LinkedInDiego Twitter / LinkedInSam Twitter / LinkedIn  MCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on January 31, 2023

“Fire Down There" Randy Weston Trio: Get Happy (Riverside, 1956) Randy Weston, Sam Gill, Wilbert Hogan. El tema es tradicional. Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 ¿Sabías que? El tema "St. Thomas" de Sonny Rollins está inspirado en el tema tradicional de St. Thomas titulado "Sponger Money". Randy Weston lo grabó en 1955 con el título "Fire Down There", y dos años más tarde se publicó como el primer tema de Saxophone Colossus. En esta grabación aparecía como una composición de Sonny Rollins. Randy Weston acreditaba el tema como tradicional. Randy Weston nació en 1926 y falleció en 2018. De joven trabajó en un restaurante, propiedad de su padre, hasta que pudo dedicarse profesionalmente a la música. En 1955 la revista Down Beat lo consagró como un "nuevo talento del piano". Fue un gran admirador de Thelonious Monk, cuya influencia es su forma de tocar de Weston fue más que evidente. También lo es en su discografía, pues en el año 1989 publicó el disco Portraits Of Thelonious Monk. El periodista Javier de Cambra, a quien se le echa (y mucho) de menos, fue un gran admirador y amigo personal de Randy Weston. En el año 2014 se realizó un homenaje al periodista en el Círculo de Bellas Arte de Madrid, y como no podía ser de otro modo, el primero de los músicos que intervino en ese concierto fue Randy Weston. Entre los proyectos que el periodista dejó inacabados debido a su repentino fallecimiento a principios de 2014, estaba una biografía de Randy Weston.

I recently read“The World is Choking on Digital Pollution” by Judy Estrin and Sam Gill from Knight Foundation. It basically intends to send an alarm on how dangerous to neglect online hate speech and trolls, of which they call digital pollution. By referring to the pollution during the Industrial Revolution and the construction of sewage system being the solution, it writes, "Society figured out how to manage the waste produced by the Industrial Revolution. We must do the same thing with the Internet today." The article does help us realize the danger of ungoverned misinformation, yet it simplifies the narrative of cholera and public nuisance down to an advent of waste management, and misses out the colonial nature of industrial revolution that prioritized profits over public health, as if the causes of the issue were some ungoverned human waste.

The Genealogy Gems Podcast with Lisa Louise Cooke     -      Your Family History Show

The Genealogy Gems Podcast Episode #215 with Lisa Louise Cooke In this “Blast from the Past” episode, Lisa gives voice to the era of silent films, in a unique approach to understanding her great-grandmother's life. Her passion for this mostly-forgotten film genre comes through in her conversation with film archivist Sam Gill of the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum in Fremont, California. Don't miss these fun segments, too: A listener writes in after discovering a birth mom's story in passport records (see what lengths he goes to in order to access the records!). Just after RootsTech 2018, Your DNA Guide Diahan Southard reports on the latest DNA news you'll want to know. NEWS: ROOTSTECH 2018 DNA NEWS ROUNDUP FROM YOUR DNA GUIDE DIAHAN SOUTHARD           First up was MyHeritage, showing their support for the 7 million adopted individuals in the United States with their new . MyHeritage will provide 15,000 DNA test kits to eligible participants free of charge, in order to help these adoptees use DNA to reunite them with their biological families. With this initiative they “hope to make this project a shining light for corporate philanthropy and an example to be followed by other commercial companies in their own lines of expertise to make the world a better place.” MyHeritage has assembled an advisory board of genetic genealogists and genetic counselors to help drive this project and ensure it meets the needs of the community. If you or someone you know is interested in participating, you can head on over to the DNA Quest website () to fill out an application. But you better hurry, the application deadline is April 30, 2018.  Next, addressing the biggest problem in genetic genealogy, namely the looming What Next? question facing millions of newly swabbed participants, MyHeritage announced the Big Tree – a giant network of genetic and genealogy results that will automate much of the match comparison and tree searching to replace your head-scratching with light-bulb moments. They have already made significant headway on this project, as , which MyHeritage's own chief scientific officer Yaniv Erlich collaborated on. The journal reports that the team of scientists successfully extracted public family trees from Geni.com (a MyHeritage daughter company), and then used a computer program to clean up and link the trees together. It sounds like MyHeritage will be adding genetic data to this kind of tree data in their Big Tree project. MyHeritage isn't the only company out to improve the DNA matching experience. UK based that they plan to add DNA matching to their popular origins test by third quarter 2018. When they launched in October of 2016, LivingDNA was not offering cousin matching, but opted instead to focus all of their resources on providing very detailed origins reports, including breaking down the UK in to 46 categories. In the months since their launch, they have been working on a genetic matching system, called Family Networks, that will appeal to a wide range of users and will “reduce the risk of human error and take away the tedious task of figuring out how each person on a user's list are related to one another.” They are promising an experience that provides “a level of relationship prediction and specificity beyond anything currently on the market.”  So it sounds like if you are currently struggling with turning your DNA matches into genealogical discoveries, our testing companies want you to know you are not alone, and they are working hard to provide solutions to these problems. Time will only tell if they can succeed. Diahan also provides answers to questions asked about announcing updates to MyHeritage DNA matching technology and its new chromosome browser.

Throughout their conversation, you hear the sounds of excited theater patrons filling the auditorium before a screening. Sam Gill's interest in silent film dates to 1966, when as a college student he traveled to Hollywood to interview his aging heroes from the silent screen comedy era. For more than 20 years, he was Archivist of the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library, where he established the Academy's Special Collections and helped it grow to its current status as the preeminent repository for the study of American cinema. He is currently a Board Member of the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum. Over the years, he has consulted on or otherwise contributed his expertise to numerous film festivals, museum film programs and film history books. Sam recently sent us these delightful photos (below) of himself over the years: (Image 1) 1966: His first trip to Hollywood (Image 2) 1974: A news article about a research trip to Florida (Image 3) 2017: A birthday party for Diana Serra Cary (Baby Peggy), the last surviving star of the silent screen, held at the Edison Theater of the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum; also shown is Rena Kiehn, the museum's publicity director and store manager (a technique that adapts well to film!)
