A new record for the longest RA Podcast ever: Ten hours from the powerhouse duo sweeping techno, Chlär and Alarico. Both commanding performers in their own right, sparks fly when the Swiss-Italian duo of Funk Assault combine. The buzz surrounding their productions, DJing and their label Primal Instinct is at fever pitch, and short wonder: when it comes to gritty, high-impact sets that barrel through multiple shades of techno, few are in their league right now. RA.960 was laid down at Watergate this March during a signature Funk Assault marathon. The pair ramp up incrementally, and even before they hit top velocity, you can hear them ripping through records with tenacity and verve. You don't need elbows in your face to tell the place is rocking. We're informed that ID'ing the set would probably take longer than playing it (fair enough), so no tracklist for this one. Instead, fill in the blanks at your leisure. As well as 150+ BPM stompers and groove wormholes, there's everything from tribal to ballroom, electro to bassbin rattlers, and plenty of classics. As an encapsulation of a night out's full arc, RA.960 does the business—and best of all, you won't even need a trip to the bar for water. The gauntlet has been thrown down. @primalinstinctrecords @funkassault_og @chlaer @alarico_katana Read more at ra.co/podcast/960

As the summer holidays kick off and people plan for journeys far and near, Sheila explores what food is provided on trains and at train stations across the country. A new report by the Office for Road and Rail suggests passengers pay around 10 per cent more for food inside stations, where catering leases often roll over automatically with limited opportunities for new food businesses to enter the market. Sheila finds out who the biggest players are in rail food and speaks to a range of people from station operators, food retailers and train companies to find out: is train food as bad as it once was? Not many people spend their lives in constant motion, but travel writer Caroline Eden is one of them. Sheila shares a train picnic with Caroline on the train line leading up to Scotland's walking country, and hears stories of food shared and meals eaten on remote routes during Caroline's travels through Central Asia and beyond. Pasties are one of Caroline's favourite journey foods, and she's not alone. From the tin miners of Cornwall's past to their omnipresence at stations today, pasties might just be one of the UK's longest-standing foods eaten on the move. Sheila also hears from travel correspondent Simon Calder, reporting from a station cafe on the Swiss-Italian border, with his perspective on how train catering has changed and his top tops for eating well on the move. How does food on trains compare in other countries and is there anything we can learn from the food cultures of others? Tokyo food tour host Yukari Sakamoto explains the tradition of Japan's Bento boxes, nutritious, freshly-cooked boxed meals bought at stations and eaten on trains across the country. Presented by Sheila Dillon and produced by Nina Pullman for BBC Audio in Bristol.

What you'll learn in this episode: How Saudia is preserving her mom Cara Croninger's legacy Why Cara Croninger's resin and plastic jewelry was—and still is—groundbreaking How Cara Croninger refined her jewelry making process, and why she didn't want her pieces to be perfect What it was like to grow up in an artistic family in the heyday of New York's art jewelry scene How Saudia's mom and dad influenced her music career today   About Saudia Young Saudia Young is a New York City-born actress/singer and storyteller in theater and film. Born on the Lower East Side and brought up between Tribeca and LA, Young explores the notion of home, love, justice, and identity through her art.   The recently repatriated artist lived in Berlin, Germany, for a long chapter of performing, writing, and producing. The Ameripolitan Awards 2023 Female Rockabilly Singer nominee released her 7" single ‘Noir Rockabilly Blues,' produced by Lars Vegas-DE and featuring 'The Wobble' on the A and Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life' on the B side, in 2017, followed up by her 12” debut ‘Unlovable' in 2018. The LP was recorded live at Berlin, Germany's legendary Lightning Recorders.   Young founded a Dark Kabarett and a Rockabilly Noir Blues band in Berlin, co-created the Lost Cabaret and the Schwarze Liste Kabarett theater projects and wrote and produced the award-winning short film The Gallery. While in Berlin, she was cast in the lead voice-over role of Oskar in School for Vampires (the English version of the Hahn Film cartoon series).   Young co-wrote and performed the solo show Sneaker Revolution and is currently writing a theater/film piece about her actor father, Otis Young, and sculptor/designer mom Cara Croninger. Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Additional Resources: Saudia's Website Saudia's Instagram Saudia's Youtube   Transcript:   To jewelry lovers, Cara Croninger was a groundbreaking artist whose work was shown at iconic galleries Artwear and Sculpture to Wear. To musician and actress Saudia Young, she was just mom. Today, Saudia is working to preserve her mother's legacy and secure her place in art jewelry history. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how Cara made her pioneering resin jewelry; how Cara's work evolved with the times; and why Saudia thinks of her mom every time she performs. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.   Today, we're speaking to my guest, Saudia Young, who is located in Philadelphia. She has an interesting background. Her mother was a very well-known jeweler, and her father was an actor. She was born in New York and grew up between New York and Los Angeles. She is New York material. You will be surprised to hear that she developed a career as an actress, a writer and a singer. She's described as having a whisky voice, and I think that's true, a caramel whisky voice. She was a nominee in 2023.   Saudia: Thank you so much for having me. I'm really glad to come on to your show for the second time. It was the Ameripolitan Music Awards. I was simply nominated for female rockabilly singer. There are lots of different categories and full bands. Jane Rose won for the rockabilly female singer that year. They're moving on, but it was very exciting to come after 15 years in Germany to participate in that. I've met a lot of awesome people because of that.   Sharon: I know you've lived in several places, but I didn't know for 15 years, you say, in Berlin?   Saudia: Yes.   Sharon: Wow! Now you're in Philadelphia this evening.   Saudia: Yes.   Sharon: Is that your home?   Saudia: It is for now. It's where my sister lives. I have a sister from my mother and my father. He had other children, so that's why I clarify that. I'm spending some time with my sister. I've been back and forth in the States since my mom passed in 2019. I'm honestly trying to figure out where I'm going to live. It's not clear because of Covid and my mom passing, but it's been a lot.   Sharon: 15 years being in one place.   Saudia: Yeah, so I'm here for now. I feel like I can't commit to saying this is my home. It's like, “Let's see what it brings. Let's see what happens.” It's great to hang out with my sister. I'm close to my mom's work, which is stored now in Hackensack, New Jersey. I moved it from New York. My mom's work has had more of a tour than I have.   Sharon: Cara Croninger is your mom's name. Even though she passed—I'm very sorry to hear that—she's still very well-known. She has an exhibit in the Smithsonian?   Saudia: No, it's simply her papers, photographs, articles, fashion editorials. As you know, she bridged fashion and art. She was in both worlds. She had a toe or a foot or whatever in both worlds, so she has been accepted into the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian. That means they have letters, her correspondence to other artists and gallerists and whomever, any type of reviews, sketches, all her boxes of papers and some photographs. It's an honor. It was sad to let that go, but it's also awesome because that means it's helping to secure her legacy.   It will eventually be uploaded digitally so people will be able to look at it. You can go into the archives and look up different artists and see their papers. For example, one of my favorite things were letters from Floriana Frassetto, who founded Mummenschanz and was one of her best friends. She always wrote these beautiful letters to her. She would call her Cara Mia. She was Swiss-Italian. So, it's just that, showing the ephemeral items in her life.   Sharon: You've been on this program before. You were among our first guests—   Saudia: Yeah.   Sharon: If you want to listen to it, it's on TheJewelryJourney.com. We're so glad to have you back again.   Saudia: Thank you.   Sharon: Tell me why your mom's jewelry was different. What was the breakthrough? Why are they keeping her papers?   Saudia: I think because of that bridge. She wasn't craft. She came as a sculptor. Her jewelry was made of acrylic and polyester resin, although she did work in other materials like metals. She started off painting, but the work was always very sculptural and almost avant garde. It went from very organic and indigenous and African influenced to futuristic. It was solidly in the art world, but also solidly in the fashion world when she was with Robert Lee Morris' gallery, Artwear, and before that, Sculpture to Wear.   Artwear blew up and it was very, very popular in the press and in fashion magazines. All the top models were wearing it. People like Iman would come to the gallery openings. It was part of that whole exciting time in the 80s in New York, seeping a little bit into the 90s, but mostly in the 80s. It was in the late 70s and throughout the 80s that they had their heyday. There were other artists in this gallery that are now working and very well-known, like Ted Muehling, Robert Lee Morris himself. Carol Motty, may she rest in peace, was a very, very good friend of my mom. She worked in silicone.   Sharon: I'm sorry. I don't know her.   Saudia: Carol Motty. She did wild, neon-colored, awesome pieces in silicone rubber. She was unique in that it literally was a bridge of art and fashion. That's what she built. I think that was her significance. In terms of the materials, the pieces cost anywhere from $40 to $4,000 or more. She raised the level of this material, which is plastic resin and acrylic, polyester resin, to a very high level. It would get the same price that silver and gold and gemstone jewels would get because of the beauty, the workmanship, that she put into it. The work is known for having this sensual beauty. A lot of the pieces have a wonderful weight. They have a talisman magic to them. People often will collect the pieces. You even collected some pieces.   Sharon: Yeah, I did. I love them.   Saudia: It's kind of magic. She herself as a person was a beautiful, down-to-earth, but funny and effervescent person. People loved meeting her. They loved collecting the work.   Sharon: What was the role you and your sister played?   Saudia: We were her daughters. We did help make work. There were points where we learned how to do the finishing work. We never did the pouring, creating the pigments or the molds, but we could help with finishing. We'd be her child laborers and work on the sanding machine or polishing or drilling holes or what have you. We were able to do finishing work. Because we grew up with it, we understood the shapes and her style, but even growing up with it, there was always some kind of tension. She would say, “That's your style. That's not mine.” It wasn't easy because it was so organic and very unique. That made it hard for her to have people work for her.   Sharon: When you would attend these parties or an opening night at the galleries, did you know who the celebrities of the day were? Were you aware?   Saudia: Yeah, I was in my early 20s or so. At one point, my sister and I both worked at Artwear. We were both looking forward to working with Robert. That was always really fun. Even the artists were celebrities to us because they were so talented and vivacious and positive. I knew a lot of the models, the supermodels, Pat Cleveland and whomever, but since my dad was an actor, I grew up already having certain people in my life. I was trained for that to be not that big of a deal because I just grew up in that.   When my parents met, they were in the Village in the 60s. James Baldwin was a good friend of my dad, and he was allegedly my godfather. It was a smaller world in a way. Definitely, the 60s and even the 80s feel like a more innocent time than now for some reason. I met different celebrities just on my own, and you felt like they were New Yorkers. I knew Jean-Michel Basquiat and I was like, “He's just a kid.” I had no clue.   Sharon: Wow! So, this wasn't a new milieu to you. You knew the big names—I would call them big names—who would come over for dinner. They were around you.   Saudia: Yeah, but it wasn't—now we're going back even before Artwear. It was normal to me. I didn't notice it. It was just part of being a kid in New York, a kid of artists. You know what I mean?   Sharon: But your mother was making this jewelry that I would call groundbreaking. Today we look at it and go, “Oh, it's a piece of plastic,” but it was groundbreaking then.   Saudia: Yeah, it was definitely groundbreaking. I think it still is because there are few people who can work in it, like Patricia von Musulin, who's an amazing artist who works with acrylics. There are some people who can work with it. There's Alexis Bittar, who borrowed a lot of designs from my mom. There are people who can work with it and it's beautiful, but often you see stuff that's mass produced overseas. It doesn't have a good feeling; it just feels cheap. Her work still has this magic weight to it. But as I said, as kids, we didn't know. It was just, “My mom's an artist. She's working at her studio making her stuff.”   Sharon: Was her studio a separate place or was it where you lived?   Saudia: She had many different studios. She had a shared space in Gowanus in Brooklyn, a huge foundry that had 80-foot ceilings that she shared with approximately five other artists. Now, I'm jumping back and forth with timelines. I'm not great with timelines. She had a studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn, at 68 Jay, which was a 2,000-square-foot, awesome studio that she lived in illegally. Our formative years when we were little were on the Lower East Side, but we lived in Tribeca when it was still very industrial. We first started off on Washington Street in an apartment. I think it was a three-bedroom apartment that I recently got to visit again, which was amazing.   She cordoned off a little section of that Astor studio, and then what happened? O.K., when we were at Washington Street, she was able to be one of the resident artists in the Clocktower, which was a studio project where Alanna Heiss was organizing unusual spaces for artists to either create their work or show their work. My mom was one of several artists who were in the Clocktower. That's where she actually met the artist who showed her how to work with plastics. I don't know what his name was.   Sharon: So, she wasn't working with plastic until she met these people?   Saudia: Yeah. She started off painting and doing leatherwork, painting on leather, sewing leather bags, fringe work, Japanese-style obi belts. That's what she started doing first in terms of accessories and crafts.   Sharon: Did your friends know she was a big name, let's say?   Saudia: No, we were all pretty clueless. A lot of our friends were kids of painters. We related to them as workers, like this is what they did for their work. My mom was the lady who made great bread. She made homemade bread, and she made great chicken. People would come over and eat. She was a very social person. We had extended family members, but I don't think my friends thought of her as that famous, not really.   Sharon: I was going to ask you why she wouldn't let you pour, but that made her work. That's her name.   Saudia: I didn't have any desire to pour. As a teenagers, at 18? No desire. I was off doing my own thing. I had my own ways of expressing and my own life. That was her thing.   Sharon: What colors did she like? I've seen some pieces, but I know she had a whole range.   Saudia: She worked in an amazing array of colors. She loved vibrant primary colors. She also worked in colors that were more organic, that were reminiscent of ivory or amber. She would do pours. I think we spoke about this. She would do a pour about once a year. It was always a big deal for her to get the emotional wherewithal to do a pour. Also, I think she was aware of the toxicity. She only wanted to pour during the summer, when the windows could be open and the heat would help the plastic pour faster.

英语新闻丨West's hypocrisy can't take shine off World CupFIFA President Gianni Infantino was spot on when he slammed Western countries of “hypocrisy” for trying to give “moral lessons” to other nations.国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺(Gianni Infantino)猛烈抨击西方国家“虚伪”,试图给其他国家上“道德课”。A Swiss Italian, Infantino said on Saturday that “for what we Europeans have been doing around the world in the last 3,000 years, we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people”.拥有瑞士和意大利双重国籍的因凡蒂诺周六表示,“对于过去3000年来我们欧洲人在世界各地所做的事情,我们应该为接下来的3000年道歉,然后再开始给人们上道德课”。He was responding to the criticism by Western media about human rights in Qatar, host of the 2022 World Cup, such as the treatment of migrant workers and the LGBT community.他正在回应西方媒体对2022年世界杯东道主卡塔尔有关人权的批评,例如移民工人和LGBT 群体的待遇。FIFA warned several European teams that their captains would face yellow cards if they wear the OneLove armbands in a bid to raise LGBT awareness during the matches.国际足联警告几支欧洲球队,如果他们的队长在比赛中佩戴OneLove臂章,以提高LGBT意识,将面临黄牌警告。French President Emmanuel Macron pointed out last week that sport should not be politicized, referring to his plan to go to Qatar if the French national team, the defending champion, reaches the semifinals.法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙上周指出,体育不应被政治化,他指出如果卫冕冠军法国国家队进入半决赛,他将前往卡塔尔。However, France politicized sport when it called for Russia to be banned from the World Cup qualifying games days after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February.然而,在2月俄乌冲突爆发几天后,法国呼吁禁止俄罗斯参加世界杯预选赛,从而将体育政治化。When the International Olympic Committee then urged that Russia be banned from participating in international sports events, many international sports federations quickly followed suit. But IOC President Thomas Bach said last month that Russian athletes could be allowed back to compete at Olympic Games as long as they don't support the war in Ukraine.当国际奥委会随后敦促禁止俄罗斯参加国际体育赛事时,许多国际体育联合会迅速效仿。但国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫上个月表示,只要俄罗斯运动员不支持乌克兰战争,他们就可以获准重返奥运会。Punishing athletes for the actions of their governments will do nothing to help end the conflict. On the contrary, sports have the magic power of bringing different people together. Engaging more Russian athletes could contribute to finding a solution to the conflict.因政府的行为而惩罚运动员无助于结束冲突。相反,体育具有将不同的人聚集在一起的魔力,让更多的俄罗斯运动员参与进来可能有助于找到解决冲突的办法。The fact that people all over the world, regardless of their political and religious beliefs, are enjoying watching World Cup shows that sports transcend politics. People cheer teams and players they support and others for their good performances.世界各地的人们,无论其政治和宗教信仰如何,都乐于观看世界杯,这一事实表明体育超越了政治,人们会为他们支持的球队和球员以及其他人的出色表现欢呼。People have the right to express their concerns about human rights issues, but they have to pick the right time and right place, and those are not a sports event.人们有权表达对人权问题的关注,但他们必须选择合适的时间和合适的地点,而体育赛事不是合适的时机。Certain sports such as snooker, golf and tennis even require spectators to remain silent. No one wants a soccer match to be spoiled by protesters shouting slogans.斯诺克、高尔夫和网球等某些运动甚至要求观众保持沉默,同样地,没有人希望足球比赛被高喊口号的抗议者破坏。When the World Cup kicked off on Sunday, BBC chose not to broadcast the opening ceremony and instead spent the time talking about human rights abuses in Qatar.That reflects the hypocrisy Infantino pointed out.周日世界杯开幕时,BBC选择不转播开幕式,而是花时间谈论卡塔尔侵犯人权的问题,这反映了Infantino所指的虚伪。The BBC did not boycott the opening ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012, which took place a month after Julian Assange was forced to seek asylum in Ecuador's embassy in London due to extradition concerns, or the opening ceremony of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in Utah in 2002, which was held months after the US invasion of Afghanistan.BBC没有抵制2012年伦敦奥运会开幕式,该开幕式发生在朱利安·阿桑奇因引渡问题被迫在厄瓜多尔驻伦敦大使馆寻求庇护一个月后,也没有抵制2002年在美国犹他州举办的盐湖城冬季奥运会开幕式,而这发生在美国入侵阿富汗几个月后。In its 2021 report, the Amnesty International cited human concerns in France from racial profiling to migrants' rights. The Human Rights Watch cited in its report the US human rights violations from racial injustice and the world's highest criminal incarceration rates to women's health rights and the rights of non-citizens.在其2021年的报告中,国际特赦组织列举了对法国从种族定性到移民权利问题上的担忧。人权观察在其报告中列举了美国从种族不公正和世界上最高的刑事监禁率到妇女健康权和非公民权利的侵犯人权行为。Since they spent so much time nitpicking the alcohol ban during the World Cup matches, there will be plenty for Western media to point their fingers at these Olympic Games. But we all know they won't.由于他们在世界杯比赛期间花了大量时间挑剔禁酒令,因此西方媒体将有很多矛头可以指向这些奥运会,但我们都知道他们不会。Nitpick 英[ˈnɪtpɪk];美[ˈnɪtˌpɪk]v. 挑剔;吹毛求疵extradition英[ˌekstrəˈdɪʃn];美[ˌekstrəˈdɪʃn]n. 引渡armband英[ˈɑːmbænd];美[ˈɑːrmbænd]n. 臂章boycott英[ˈbɔɪkɒt];美[ˈbɔɪkɑːt]v. 抵制,拒绝参加

Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Veronica Fusaro over Zoom video! We have all witnessed a challenging 2020 so far but we’re pleased to introduce you to an exciting new singer songwriter in the form of Swiss / Italian soul pop Artist Veronica Fusaro ahead of her latest single Beach next month, marking the beginning of a series of new singles documenting, like postcards, Fusaro’s journey towards her debut album.Hearing the word “beach”, you may immediately think of a tropical destination sipping a cocktail in the sunshine whilst overlooking clear blue water, but not for Veronica Fusaro in this case. With her fine antenna for the nuances of emotions, she takes the beach as the metaphorical starting point for the weather report of a relationship entered not in the hope of genuine love but as a sweet distraction from humdrum everyday life.Fusaro writes authentic storytelling soul pop music with strong melodies and plenty of heart that has been captivating audiences across Europe.  To date she has already racked up a combined 1.5 million streams and like Fusaro’s previous music including her most recent EP release “Sunkissed” (2019), “Beach” was written and recorded as a demo in her studio in Thun, Switzerland and finishing off in London with collaborator Paul O’Duffy (Amy Winehouse, Dusty Springfield, Ian Dury and John Barry) who added the extra splashes of colour. The single is about wanting something but not being able to have it and therefore filling it with a temporary solution. Instead of facing your problem, in this case not being able to have the ‘beach’, you’ll take a look around and forget about sorrows for the time being. The single also sees Fusaro heading towards a more organic instrumentation and taking inspiration music from her father’s home country, Italy, using the idiosyncratic brand of 1950s jazz with mentions of the late big band singer, Fred Buscaglione, and the bittersweet party mood of Federico Fellini's “La Dolce Vita”.After finding motivation from winning a national competition at 18 called “Demotape Clinic” at the m4music festival in Zurich she discovered this could be more than just a pipe dream and started devoting her life to music. In the four years since then, Fusaro has been busy evolving and building a fanbase, releasing music and since releasing her debut single ‘Better If I Go’ in 2017 she has gone on to play over 500 shows around the world including Glastonbury. She has also released further singles including summer ballad ‘Hello Old Friend’ and fun loving ‘Rollercoaster’ reaching 131K video views along with three EP’s ‘Lost In Thought’, ‘Ice Cold’ andmostrecently the well received ‘Sunkissed’.After only 4 years in the business she has demonstrated her ability to hold an audience of any size, be it in an intimate club or even Glastonbury festival, in the palm of her hand which has resulted in a steady forever growing online following of 7,573 monthly Spotify listeners, over 670,000 Youtube views and 5522 Instagram followers. With her debut album already in mind for a release of 2021/2022 you can be sure to hear more releases and hopefully live shows in the not too distant future.We want to hear from you!

About Rebecca Gebhardt Brizi: With both Italian and American citizenship, I grew up in Switzerland attending British, Swiss and American schools. My upbringing was a natural education in avoiding “lost in translation” moments by verifying information before assuming I understood it. This has served me well in business, applying a data-driven approach to my work. By the age of 10 I had lived in Spanish-speaking Argentina, German-speaking northern Switzerland and Italian-speaking southern Switzerland. By the age of 18 I had experienced the Swiss German, British, Swiss Italian and American school systems. Change has always been an opportunity for growth and learning.   Growing up in Switzerland with regular trips to my father’s family home in Colorado makes me comfortable when surrounded by mountains. It doesn’t have to be the Rockies or the Alps – try Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains for an experience “as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.” On the other hand, I never tire of walking through the streets of Florence, Italy with my mother, who was born around the corner from Dante’s home. In those narrow medieval streets, she intertwines her life history with that of Dante, DaVinci and Giotto – providing me with a rich family heritage.   At 18 I moved to the Hudson Valley in New York to attend Vassar College, followed by a move to London where I attended graduate school and continued to live for many years following. My studies included Classical Greek and Art Connoisseurship. Those disciplines, followed by work experience in fashion and online publishing, led me through a meandering path to the software industry, with strategic and management responsibilities. I now reside in Atlanta, enjoying the vibrant startup community, diverse population and almost year-round outdoor sports and activities. Because Switzerland does not have a habit of summer jobs for students, knocking on corporate doors asking for three month employment raised a few eyebrows. It also gave me rich work experiences in summer school administration, a new local news webzine and in the brand management department of a major fashion brand.   After my graduate studies I followed the industry path with a job in a major auction house, but my “experience radar” pushed me to an opportunity I could not have predicted: join a startup business as the third person in the door. Here, I was the strategy counter-weight to the product visionary: the founder would bring ideas of where he wanted the business to go, and I found the ways to make it happen.   Within a couple of years, by reviewing what the company finances could tell us, we decided to pivot our product placement and entered the enterprise software space, “starting-up” all over again. Once the business was established in the UK and Australia, I proposed that we tackle a new market in the United States.   This is when I moved to Atlanta and boot-strapped a US operations office, getting to “start-up” a business for the third time.   Spending 11 years in-house I oversaw business planning, go to market strategies and general operations globally as well as for the North American market. I participated in two successful rounds of fund-raising and established a customer retention rate of over 90%, both by volume and value. The nature of my work meant internal business management, as well as helping our top clients build their own business cases for purchasing enterprise software. This was invaluable experience in keeping an internal view of the corporate word to which my clients belonged.   Since January 2017 I have been consulting full time. My current clients include sole- practitioners and small businesses, with articles published in the research journal Jinfo and speaking opportunities with PowerCore and the Alliston Group events. Key Takeaways: Leadership comes from within. Small actions have big consequences. People sometimes are guided by...

March 2020 What unusual times we all find ourselves in.  With what started as a world away (COVID-19), now at everyone’s doorstep, the music community faces uncertainties similar to many other service-oriented vocations.  While live in-person performance to audiences of size are curtailed, we can still learn about the different ways our creative sisters and brothers are expressing for the sake of social justice, humanity, and beauty. OTSSFO kicks off its new season with an archived discussion from several years ago with German based Swiss-Italian clarinetist Claudio Puntin.  Widely known as a member of the trio “Ambiq”as well as an ECM Records alumnus, Claudio is a versatile instrumentalist with eclectic collaborations that range from ambient, electronic, and avant-garde, to orchestral, jazz, and swing.  He has worked with notable creators/performers such as Hermeto Pascoal, Fred Frith, Skuli Sverresson, WDR Big Band, Jeff Denson, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Insa Rudolph and the Sepiasonic band. An intensely passionate personality about improvisation and technical proficiency, Claudio gives us a glimpse into his uniquely European viewpoint and experience with collaborators. An award-winning jeweler, he has translated this skill set into innovative designs surrounding mouthpieces for clarinet and bass clarinet- something that perhaps our reed playing constituency will find of particular interest. We discussed all of the above, while Claudio was visiting, educating, and performing on a rare trip to the San Francisco Bay Area.  Tracks featured throughout Episode #015: Stoma (Main Theme) - Claudio Puntin - Stoma Aroma – Claudio Puntin w/Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Die Herrmannsschlacht (Kiefer Exhibition 2010) The Mother – Ambiq - Ambiq Aroma – Claudio Puntin w/Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Ephemera – Ambiq - Ambiq Paris – Sepiasonic - Sepiasonic Variation On a Point of View - Jeff Denson & Claudio Puntin - Two Þeysireið – Claudio Puntin, Geròur Gunnarsdóttir – Ylir Myttoprill – Ambiq - Ambiq More Information: http://www.puntin.de http://ambiqmusic.com https://www.ecmrecords.com/catalogue/143038751622 https://arjunamusic-records.bandcamp.com/album/sepiasonic

Soon after though, he also became the first Aussie to win the Tour de France, consigning to history the two times he'd been runner up. Since retiring, Cadel has made his home in Switzerland, and lives just a few kilometres away from where he pulled on the famous rainbow jersey.

She was born in Civiasco, which is in far northern Italy, near the Swiss border. It looks like it's on the Swiss-Italian border, but in actuality, the Alps are there, so it's really just on the Italian side of the Alps.
