In the new episode of the CIRQUEON CIRCUS PODCAST, we invite you into the Atelier of Kinematics, part of CIRQUEON LAB, led by Darragh McLoughlin, an acclaimed Irish contemporary circus artist based in Berlin. The boy from West Cork who started juggling and dancing at the age of fifteen went on to become a laureate of the Circus Next competition and the founder of the platform Squarehead Productions, where he explores movement, objects, and human perception. The lab brought together Eszter Kudlák from Hungary, Vojta Stolbenko from the Czech Republic, and KuMy Duo from Poland. What actually happens in a lab like this? What does mentoring give to artists, and why is the movement of objects so fascinating? Listen to the conversation with Darragh McLoughlin. Enjoy the episode! By Veronika Jošková Štefanová.

The Transplant Football World Cup has just taken place in Frankfurt, with Ireland among the countries competing, and two of the players representing Ireland joined Andrea on the show, Val Weblin from West Cork and Shane Riordan from Dublin Newcastle who have both been through life-changing transplant journeys.

Andre Archimbaud spent his life carrying three passports worth of heritage: a French surname, an Italian-American upbringing, and, buried a generation or two back, an Irish line he didn't know existed until a chance conversation set him straight. This episode, recorded at Ryan's Daughter on the Upper East Side, traces how Archimbaud built an identity by choice rather than inheritance.It started years earlier at a bar in Washington Heights, where a stranger, several drinks in, turned to him and said, "You are what your mother is," invoking a mitochondrial logic Archimbaud had never considered. Two weeks of digging into his maternal line turned up a great-grandfather from Sligo and a great-great-grandmother born in Dublin. From there, U2, a 1997 road trip through Killarney, and a growing engagement with Irish radio and Irish Twitter did the rest.Archimbaud's other education came from his father, a man who rose from a cramped East Orange apartment to sit on the US Olympic Committee, and who taught his son to network simply by being watched. "It imprinted in me the sort of how to do this," Archimbaud says, a skill that now underwrites Clearly Now Media, the digital agency he launched after nearly two decades in paid search and social advertising.Even the agency's name has an Irish thread: a Hothouse Flowers cover of "I Can See Clearly Now," framed on his living room wall, that his girlfriend pointed to when he needed a name.Archimbaud closes on a quieter note: two days alone on Inchydoney Beach in West Cork, sun and rain and a double rainbow, that stayed with him through a season of change.LINKSANDRE ARCHIMBAUDClearly Now Media LinkedInPodcastBlogIRISH STEW LINKSWebsite Home PageFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralRYAN'S DAUGHTERWebsiteEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 25; Total Episode Count: 166Send us Fan Mail

When does rebuilding a house stop being construction — and start becoming art?In ArTEEtude 353, Detlef Schlich returns to Lackavaun on the north side of the Mizen Peninsula and to the years when an almost uninhabitable ruin slowly became something much more personal.A wall is broken open towards the landscape. The Fisherman's House takes shape. A handmade kitchen, Art Nouveau stairs, mermaids, whales, a grotto bathroom and even a slightly improbable “Turkish shopping centre” find their way into the architecture.Outside, a JCB and Rock Breaker reshape the land. Huge stones become steps and retaining walls. And an experiment begins: could the naturally water-resistant soil hold a lake without a plastic liner?It could.Then something unexpected happens.Insects arrive. Dragonflies dance above the water. Plants establish themselves. Frogs discover the lake and lay their spawn.What began with heavy machinery becomes a living ecosystem — a three-dimensional painting that continually repaints itself.But paradise has boundaries.And beyond them, another story is already beginning.Featuring a new track by Los Inorgánicos: “Rock Breaker → Dragonflies.”ArTEEtude is an independent, non-profit podcast.About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

On today's podcast I chatted with John O'Brien, a farmer from Barryroe in West Cork, the Chairman of Barryroe Co-op and the Chairman of Carbery Group. When John's father died in an accident on the farm in 1979, life changed for this 15 year old. Instead of leasing out the farm, his mum Peggy decided to drive on, and two years later and without any regret, a veterinary career was swapped for farming. Since then, not only did John run the farm but he also got stuck in and got heavily involved in the institutions that support farming such as Grassland Association, Ornua, the local Barryroe Co-op and Carbery Group. On the podcast John spoke about his life, the business of farming, the election process that earned him these positions, the importance of the next generation of farmers, land use, climate change, the importance of innovation and we also discussed regenerative farming. The overwhelming thing that struck me about John was his positivity, which I am sure has been a huge gift to anyone he works with and the organisations that he serves.     Enjoy the show     Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg's blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: greg@fuzion.ie   

A West Cork father, Leonard Lyons, is appealing to the Government to speed up his wife's family-reunification visa application, which has been awaiting a decision for 14 months. His wife and their nine-month-old son, who holds an Irish passport, are currently in the Philippines, where volcanic ashfall has raised concerns about the baby's health. The family says they have followed all the required procedures and are simply asking for a decision. The Department of Justice says applications of this type generally have a 12-month target for a first-instance decision, although some cases can take longer.

Today's Get It Off Your Chest comes from Orla, who's heading to West Cork for a relaxing weekend away with her boyfriend. The only problem? She had visions of a luxurious hotel stay with a gorgeous room, breakfast and maybe even a spa — but her boyfriend has booked a B&B instead.The B&B looks lovely and they both agree it's a beautiful place, but Orla says she had her heart set on the hotel experience and a bit of luxury. Her boyfriend thinks she's making a fuss and should just enjoy the weekend.Is Orla being too fussy, or does she have a point? Would you change the booking to a hotel or just embrace the B&B and enjoy the weekend?

What happens when rebuilding a house becomes a way of reading your own past?In ArTEEtude 352, Detlef Schlich returns to Lackavaun and asks why these memories have resurfaced more than twenty years later — and why they have become more than a single podcast episode.Influenced by landscape, memory, Walter Benjamin's idea of passages and his own evolving practice of Multilayerism, Detlef begins to see the reconstruction of the old house as something else: a method of thinking through layers.Then the philosophy gets dusty.The main house is completely stripped back. Rotten timber comes out. Floors are lowered. Stone walls are exposed and repointed. Drainage and underfloor heating go in. Woodworm treatment, chemicals, mosquitoes, concrete, exhaustion — and the slow process of learning skills from others before doing them himself.Yet beneath everything that has to disappear, something remains.The stone.The scars.The memory of the building.And eventually, through a new gable window, Dunmanus Bay enters the house.Keep what remembers. Lose what does not.The episode ends with a new Los Inorgánicos track:“Goodbye to the Rats.”About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

The murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in December 1996 is one of the most infamous unsolved crimes in Irish history, and one of the strangest legal sagas in modern Europe. Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French film producer who had bought an isolated holiday cottage in West Cork, near the village of Schull, as a private retreat. Two days before Christmas, she was found beaten to death near the gate of that cottage, in her nightclothes, on a lonely Irish hillside. The investigation that followed became infamous, both for what went wrong in its earliest hours and for the man it fixed upon: an English journalist named Ian Bailey, who was arrested twice, never charged in Ireland, and always maintained his innocence. And there the case entered genuinely extraordinary territory, because a single murder came to be answered by two countries in two opposite ways. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story of the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier: the killing on the West Cork hillside, the flawed investigation, the chief suspect who was never convicted in Ireland but was tried and found guilty in France in a court he never attended, the three separate Irish refusals to extradite him, and a mystery that his death has now sealed, perhaps forever.

THE HOUSE THAT BUILT ME — Water, Stone and the Little RuinPodcast SummaryIn ArTEEtude 351, “The House That Built Me — Water, Stone and the Little Ruin,” visual artist Detlef Schlich continues his journey back to Lackavaun on the remote Northside of the Mizen Peninsula, where he began a radically different life in 2003.After the arrival described in episode 350, Schlich now finds himself largely alone in a damaged rural house without running water, learning how to create the basic conditions for living. With no driving licence, a scooter becomes his connection to Goleen, supplies, local knowledge and the outside world. Sand, gravel, cement, a concrete mixer and eventually belongings transported from Cologne slowly turn survival into construction.Rather than immediately tackling the main house, Schlich begins with a small ruin beside it. The building becomes both shelter and experiment: a place to learn how to mix mortar, rebuild walls, restore a chimney and transform an abandoned structure into a functioning home.Water becomes the central element of the episode. Before a borehole existed, construction water had to be carried by hand from a nearby spring and poured bucket by bucket into large rain barrels. Only later did Schlich discover that the source was locally regarded as a holy well, retrospectively giving the physical act of building an unexpected ritual dimension.The arrival of a huge drilling rig marks another transformation. Approximately seventy metres are drilled into the ground before water can finally be brought directly into the building. Material extracted from deep beneath the landscape is reused around the property, while plumbing, electricity, fire and a loft bed gradually turn the little ruin into a genuinely habitable space.Looking back more than two decades later, Schlich recognises something he could not yet articulate in 2003: he was not simply learning how to rebuild a house. The repetitive physical relationship between body, landscape, water, stone and material was beginning to shape an artistic language that would later emerge in his work with ritual, media archaeology and performance.The episode closes with the song “The House That Built Me.” performed by Los Inorganicos.A ruin has become a home.And now the real work can begin.About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

Shortly after the pandemic lockdown Sara Baume came across a painting in a pop-up exhibition in a renovated West Cork shed. Fascinated by it, she became determined to make the painter's acquaintance – although a native of North Dakota the artist Mollie Douthit was now living and working in rural Ireland. Bonded by a common love of nature and a commitment to their respective artistic practices, they began to meet regularly, to talk, to eat and to swim. What would it be like, Baume wondered, to write a book in the style of Mollie's painting? Opening Night is the result. She was in conversation with Emily LaBarge, author of Dog Days.

What if the house you bought was actually a time machine?In 2003, I arrived in Lackavaun on the remote Northside of the Mizen Peninsula in West Cork.No running water.Old jeans stuffed between roof and wall to keep the wind out.Rats upstairs.Dunmanus Bay outside the door.And then I met Pat McCarthy.What initially appeared to be simply a remote and beautiful part of West Cork gradually revealed itself as a place in which several historical layers were still visible at the same time. Through the story of an old house without running water, the late arrival of rural electrification, dramatic population decline after the Great Famine, and the isolation of everyday life, the episode paints a vivid picture of a landscape that was already entering the 21st century while still carrying traces of a much older rural culture.At the centre of the episode is Patrick McCarthy, co-author of Northside of the Mizen, who personally welcomed Detlef to Lackavaun in April 2003. McCarthy becomes a symbolic link between oral storytelling, local history and a disappearing way of life. An old butter churn, a curious matchmaking story, and the Irish tradition of the Pioneer movement open wider questions about how knowledge, gestures and memories survive once their original cultural context begins to disappear.Rather than romanticising rural hardship, the episode examines the tension between poverty and authenticity, isolation and beauty, tradition and technological change. Schlich reflects on how these five years in Lackavaun shaped his later artistic engagement with ritual, material culture, shamanism, technology and media archaeology long before he had a theoretical language for it.ArTEEtude 350 is a journey into a landscape full of traces — and into the stories that continue to live when someone decides to tell them again.About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

Two gigs. One island. Buses, ferries, instruments, rehearsals, carrying, setting up, tearing down — and not exactly a Rolling Stones budget.So why do we still do this?In ArTEEtude 349, Detlef Schlich reflects with Sophia on the aftermath of the WAW Keep Clear journey through Cape Clear and Ballydehob. With Dirk Schlömer back in Berlin and the equipment finally unpacked, there is time to ask a question that reaches far beyond two concerts: what keeps an artist moving when money, comfort and convenience clearly aren't the answer?The episode begins with one of the stories that never made it into the previous podcasts: two €50 notes disappearing on the way to Cape Clear — and unexpectedly returning aboard the ferry. From there, the conversation moves into ageing, physical exhaustion, artistic obsession, live performance and the difference between validation and resonance.Cape Clear becomes more than a gig destination. Encounters, landscape, weather and people generate ideas that could never have emerged inside the studio alone. Yet inspiration brings its own problem: every journey creates more possibilities, while time, money and energy remain finite.Perhaps artists don't necessarily need an audience to validate their work.Perhaps they need encounters.Because something changes when art leaves the protected space of the studio and meets real people in a real place.And maybe Dirk's joke about coming back “a hundred euros richer” wasn't entirely wrong after all.The episode closes with the new Los Inorgánicos track:“Why Do We Still Do This?”Not for money.Not for fame.Again.

The Cape Clear adventure is over — but the tide is still moving.Detlef Schlich and Dirk Schlömer sit down at Garrylucas Beach for the final reflection on their WAW days in West Cork: two gigs, new songs, the Magic Forest, unexpected encounters, exhaustion, friendship and a packed Oasis Art Café.WAW played a full hour of original material before Go Like This took over the stage — two generations, two different sounds, one great night.And somewhere along the journey, WAW itself changed: tighter songs, increasingly intertwined voices and a growing collection of Stories of West Cork.The episode ends where this chapter began: with Cape Clear — and the new WAW song inspired by the island.About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

Cape Clear. An island at the edge of Ireland. A ferry, a gig, a few instruments — and two men who apparently still think jumping into the Atlantic is a perfectly reasonable form of post-production.This episode is not a polished travel report. It is the sound of actually being there.Detlef and Dirk talk about the journey to Cape Clear, arriving on the island, the people they met, the atmosphere surrounding the gig, performing their music far away from the usual circuits — and what remains when the instruments are packed away and the evening is over.The conversation moves between music, friendship, island life, improvisation and those unexpected moments that turn a gig into something much larger than a gig.And somewhere between land and sea, performance and memory, WAW's KEEP CLEAR journey becomes exactly what it was meant to be:Not simply a tour.An encounter.An experience.A story worth bringing home.Keep Clear.

Can sound be felt before it is heard?Arteetude 345 – The Skin That Listens grew directly from responses to our previous episode.Listener Wendy Chivers questioned whether feeling had been treated merely as an unusual side effect of hearing rather than as an essential form of perception. Pastora Braghini then shared a childhood memory of her deaf grandfather, who could detect the children approaching his armchair through vibrations travelling across the old wooden floor.Together with my AI co-host Sophia, I explore the territory between hearing and touch. The ear translates vibration into sound, while skin, bones, muscles and balance translate the same physical event into pressure, movement and spatial awareness.Perhaps listening has never belonged to the ear alone.Perhaps music enters a body already filled with rhythms—heartbeat, breath, memory and movement—and becomes part of us before language can explain what happened.The episode concludes with the new song by Los Inorgánicos:When Silence MovesResearch & Artistic MethodDetlef Schlich's artistic research is rooted in his essay Shamanism, Art and Digital Culture: Cause and Effect, which investigates the relationship between ritual, artistic transformation, media, and digital culture.Download here for free:Shamanism, Art and Digital Culture: Cause and Effecthttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectBuilding on this foundation, Schlich developed Multilayerism: A New Paradigm in Contemporary Art – A Manifesto, an artistic method and conceptual framework for understanding contemporary art through layers of media, memory, technology, ritual, emotion, misunderstanding, and lived experience.Read here:Multilayerism: A New Paradigm in Contemporary Art – A Manifesto by Detlef Schlichhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/375665507_Multilayerism_A_New_Paradigm_in_Contemporary_Art_-_A_Manifesto_by_Detlef_SchlichTogether, these texts form the theoretical backbone of Schlich's ongoing work as a visual artist, media archaeologist, ritual designer, musician, and host of the Arteetude podcast.WEBSITE LINKS Music ProjectsWAW / Wild Atlantic WayWAW is the music project by Detlef Schlich and Dirk Schlömer.Official YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandFrom the forthcoming WAW album The Stories of Nil YoungTwo songs from WAW's developing album project The Stories of Nil Young form part of a mythopoetic journey along the Nile, where river, memory, loss, cooperation, and hope flow into music.AfricaSmileAfricaSmile follows the Nile as an imagined journey from its sources to the Mediterranean Sea — a river of memory, movement, rhythm, and myth.

Where does sound become meaning?In the latest part of The Future Has Ancestors, Sophia and I move beyond the ear and discover the body as the true receiver of music.If every listener brings memories, expectations and lived experience into every note, then musicians don't simply compose sounds—they compose possibilities.

Is artificial intelligence really destroying music?Or are we simply repeating one of humanity's oldest conversations?In this episode of Arteetude, a chance encounter in a café in Bantry becomes the starting point for a media-archaeological investigation. A frustrated street musician blames AI for the end of creativity, while his girlfriend answers with humour, irony and unexpected wisdom.What begins as an amusing dialogue gradually unfolds into a much larger philosophical question:Has every generation feared the newest medium?From streaming and digital recording to radio, the gramophone and the earliest attempts to preserve music beyond human memory, this episode argues that today's AI debate may be only the latest chapter in a much older story.Together with Sophia, Detlef Schlich explores not only technology, but also fear, memory, economics and our persistent tendency to believe that history begins with our own generation.Perhaps the future has ancestors.The episode concludes with a brand-new Los Inorgánicos track:"The Future Has Ancestors."About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

In Arteetude 341, Detlef Schlich welcomes back musician, artist, designer, project manager and builder Buko Pan Guerra, also known as Buko Sinigayan, for a deeply human conversation about survival, rejection, land, animals, music, community and the strange courage it takes to keep building when life has already asked too much.Buko has spent decades helping other people's visions become real — working across art, music, construction, education, entertainment, design, theme-park environments and complex project management. Now she is building something of her own: Golden Mirage Ranch in Leona Valley, California.But Golden Mirage Ranch is not just a ranch. It is a place for rescued animals, nature, music, workshops, food, learning, healing and community. It is where many of Buko's lives come together: the artist, the musician, the project manager, the daughter, the caretaker, the survivor and the dreamer.This episode is not simply about a fundraiser. It is about dignity. It is about creative resilience. It is about what happens when an artist refuses to disappear. It asks: How does an artist survive rejection and still build a place of care, land, animals, music and community?The episode ends with Buko's powerful song “In Search for Power” — a fitting musical closing for a conversation about vulnerability, survival and the search for strength.You can Donate here on Bukos Websitehttps://goldenmirageranch.com/https://www.instagram.com/goldenmirageranch/https://www.gofundme.comAbout Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

Six years on from the great work‑from‑home experiment, the conversation about remote work in Ireland has gone strangely quiet. Roughly 15% of Irish companies now hire fully remotely and 45% are hybrid, but the change is,  in Tracy Keogh's words: “stitchy, not systemic.” Headlines focus on big multinationals pulling people back to the office, while a whole category of globally distributed employers passes Ireland by.In this episode of The HRLocker Room, HRLocker's CEO, Crystel Robbins Rynne, sits down with Tracy Keogh, Co‑founder of Grow Remote, to unpack where Ireland has actually landed on remote working, and what it would take to turn dispersed progress into a genuine national advantage.Grow Remote was founded pre‑pandemic to solve the practical problems of remote work and maximise its benefits for people, places and employers. Today it runs Europe's largest training programmes for remote workers, managers and adopting organisations, and operates the world's largest offline community of remote employees, with local meet‑ups across Ireland growing by 120%.Tracy makes the economic case in stark numbers: for every 1,000 remote jobs landed into Ireland, the country gains approximately €10 million in tax revenue and €20 million in GDP, and proper PRSI/PAYE employment, dispersed across towns from Mullingar to West Cork. She also doesn't shy away from the harder truths, saying: there is real, organised pushback against remote work in parts of Ireland, the “right to request” legislation isn't moving the needle, and not every company should go remote…and that's fine.Tune in for a candid, practical conversation about defining what remote work actually means, why the IDA / Enterprise Ireland model needs a location‑agnostic equivalent, and the surprising story of an Irish AI team that landed roles a multinational couldn't fill in the US.Key topics we exploreThe state of remote work in Ireland: 15% fully remote, 45% hybrid, and why the progress is “stitchy, not systemic”Why the “right to request remote work” legislation isn't shifting the dialThe missing category: global remote‑first employers (Automattic, GitLab, Zapier) and how to win them into the Irish marketThe economic case: €10M in tax revenue and €20M in GDP for every 1,000 remote jobs landedDefining “remote work”: from one‑day‑a‑week hybrid to fully nomadic, and why location‑agnostic employment is the sweet spotThe talent gap: why Irish candidates and global remote employers aren't finding each otherLocal pushback against remote work  and why blocking it isn't an optionWhat an “IDA for remote work” could look like in practiceWhy some organisations should stay office‑first, and how to know which camp you're inWould you like to know how HRLocker can help you with your people management in 2024?

In Arteetude 340 – The Artist After the Upload, Detlef Schlich continues the philosophical arc that began in Arteetude 338 with The Law of Acceleration. After the reflective pause of Arteetude 339 at Gallery Emptiness with Felicitas, this new episode moves into the world of media, reproduction, AI, and artistic presence.Together with his AI Co-Host Sophia, Detlef explores how Marshall McLuhan and Walter Benjamin can still help us understand what happens to art — and to the artist — after a work has been uploaded. McLuhan's famous idea that the medium is the message becomes a personal question: how does podcasting, social media, AI, video, streaming, and digital distribution reshape the artist's voice, rhythm, imagination, and nervous system?Benjamin's concept of aura opens another layer. If reproduction once seemed to threaten the unique presence of the artwork, what happens today when a work becomes file, stream, post, thumbnail, memory, comment, remix, and archive? Has aura disappeared — or has it migrated?Through Detlef's own concept of Multilayerism, the episode proposes that aura is not simply dead. It may now move through layers: physical, digital, emotional, historical, spiritual, technological, remembered, and misunderstood. But this movement is not automatically meaningful. Aura survives only where attention, imagination, and resonance still happen.The episode closes with a new musical reflection by Los Inorgánicos: “Beneath the Digital Moon” — a small love song to the organic, to the body, to the voice, and to the warmth that remains after the upload.About Detlef SchlichDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork, Ireland.His artistic practice moves between performance, photography, painting, sound, installation, film, music, podcasting, and digital image-making.

Without Sophia, his AI Co-Host, Detlef Schlich returns to the physical presence of a real conversation: two people sitting inside a gallery, surrounded by paintings, sculptures, handmade objects, and the quiet energy of a space that has only recently been brought back to life. Felicitas speaks about discovering the empty room by chance, renovating it over nearly a month, and turning it into a living continuation of her artistic path.At the heart of the episode is the meaning of the name Gallery Emptiness. For Felicitas, emptiness is not a void, not absence, not nothingness. It is a space without fixed essence — a field of relation, vibration, energy, and possibility. This becomes the philosophical pulse of the conversation.The episode also opens towards future plans for the gallery: spoken word evenings, poetry, word games, small performances, mini theatre, workshops, clothing upcycling, and creative gatherings where people can explore expression in a personal and playful way. There is also a subtle but strong critique of disposable fashion culture — the tendency to buy, wear once, and discard. Felicitas offers another path: clothing as second skin, as personality, as self-made presence.Gallery Emptiness becomes more than a gallery. It becomes a small cultural chamber in Bantry — a place for art, words, encounter, transformation, and community.The episode closes with a new Los Inorgánicos song:“Emptiness Is Not a Hidden Void”A poetic reflection on Felicitas' statement, the gallery, and the strange beauty of a space that begins empty only so something alive can enter.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film.

In Arteetude 338 – The Law of Acceleration, Part One, Detlef Schlich and Sophia, his AI Co-Host, begin a two-part philosophical journey into acceleration, artistic exhaustion, media pressure, and the fragile search for resonance in the technological age.Following the reflections of Arteetude 336 and 337 — from Heidegger, Kurzweil, AI image floods, The Collapse of Wonder, and Ilen's Hopium — this new episode asks why artistic life today feels so permanently accelerated. Even a three-month release rhythm can feel like constant pressure when writing, producing, editing, uploading, promoting, and reflecting never truly stop.The episode brings together two major thinkers of speed and modernity. Paul Virilio — born in Paris in 1932 and deeply shaped by war, urban destruction, architecture, technology, and military acceleration — developed the idea of dromology, the logic of speed, and famously argued that every invention also invents its own accident.Hartmut Rosa — born in Lörrach, Germany, in 1965 — offers a later sociological diagnosis of modern life through his theories of social acceleration, alienation, and resonance. His work asks what happens when not only machines, but social expectations, communication, production, and everyday life itself accelerate.For Detlef, this is not only theory. It becomes a personal reflection on ageing as an artist, on WAW, Arteetude, AI images, podcast production, music videos, social media, and the strange condition of the independent artist who has gained freedom — only to discover that freedom can become infrastructure.At the heart of the episode is Detlef's 1990s song “Zeitrebell”, whose refrain becomes a poetic counter-gesture to acceleration:Ich bin ein Zeitrebell,und wenn es mir zu schnell wird,stelle ich mich auf den Schatten meiner Sonnenuhr.In this episode, the old Zeitrebell returns — not as nostalgia, but as a living message from Detlef's younger self to the ageing artist of today.The episode closes with a new musical reflection by Los Inorgánicos:“Zeitrebell — The Shadow of the Sundial.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to Candlelit Tales, the podcast where we tell Irish myths, carried by an original musical score. We recently wrapped up the Fianna Saga, and we're taking a well-earned break from storytelling to bring you this longer, more relaxed chat. In this episode, Aron sits down with Ruadhán Ó Deasmhúnaigh and Tomás Whelan, the two founders of a small festival off the west coast of Cork called Féile Solas. It's a celebration of the Summer Solstice and a gathering of like-minded people who want to tune into a slightly different frequency. We've had many great conversations about the artists, the atmosphere, the theatricality and the music behind this festival, and we're delighted to finally share this one with you. This episode was also released on Eist Radio, an online radio station, so we are sharing it here as well for our listeners. We get into what drove them to put on an independent music festival in West Cork, and share some of the music that will feature on the main stage.

In Arteetude 337 – Ilens Hopium, Detlef Schlich and Sophia, his AI Co-Host, continue the philosophical journey begun in Arteetude 336, The Collapse of Wonder. After exploring the flood of AI-generated images, Heidegger's question concerning technology, and Ray Kurzweil's vision of technological acceleration, this episode moves closer to the river — not as a simple metaphor, but as a living method of thought.From the Nile of AfricaSmile to the River Ilen in West Cork, Detlef reflects on how rivers carry memory, sediment, wounds, names, and fragile possibilities of hope. The River Ilen becomes more than landscape: it becomes biography, artistic method, local presence, and a counter-image to technological acceleration.The episode explores the origin of the word Hopium, first used playfully by Dirk in relation to the emerging WAW song idea Ilens Hopium. What began as a joke opens into a deeper philosophical space: She — the River Ilen — is hoping for hope. Through Heidegger's lens, Hopium becomes a word that reveals contradiction: hope and suspicion, medicine and poison, survival and self-deception. Through Kurzweil's lens, the river offers another kind of intelligence — not singularity, but plurality; not acceleration, but return; not one final answer, but bend after bend, name after name.The episode closes with a new Los Inorgánicos piece titled “First Mist from the Ilen — Every Bend a Hope / Before the Song Appears.” This is not intended to replace the future WAW single Ilens Hopium, which Detlef and Dirk hope to release later this year. Instead, it functions as a philosophical companion in the universe of multilayerism — a sonic sketch, a small ritual support, and a first mist rising from the River Ilen before the full song appears.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandFrom the forthcoming WAW albumThe Stories of Nil YoungTwo songs from WAW's developing album project The Stories of Nil Young — a mythopoetic journey along the Nile, where river, memory, loss, cooperation and hope flow into music.AfricaSmileAfricaSmile follows the Nile as an imagined journey from its sources to the Mediterranean Sea — a river of memory, movement, rhythm and myth.The song turns the meeting of the White Nile and the Blue Nile into a fragile image of cooperation. It is not a naïve peace anthem, but a wounded musical hope: two different currents meeting, listening, and still moving forward together.The Niles Bittersweet SongThe Nile's Bittersweet Song is the first official single by WAW / Wild Atlantic Way — Detlef Schlich and Dirk Schlömer.The song follows the Nile as a river of memory, beauty, loss and contradiction: a life-giver, but also a force that can take away what it once nourished. Through the story of Kamau, it becomes a poetic reflection on childhood, fragile hope, and the emotional landscape carried by a river that is both kind and cruel.Inspired by East African storytelling traditions and shaped along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork, The Nile's Bittersweet Song is a mythopoetic musical journey about water, grief, resilience, and the deep human longing to keep moving with the current.Inspired by East African storytelling traditions and shaped along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork, The Nile's Bittersweet Song is a mythopoetic musical journey about water, grief, resilience, and the deep human longing to keep moving with the current.WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/exclusive-content

Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French producer, wife, and mother who traveled alone to her remote cottage in West Cork just before Christmas 1996. Two days later, she was found dead outside her gate, beaten beyond recognition, in a case that drew in Irish folklore, French cinema, a troubled local journalist, years of failed prosecutions, and a family's long fight for justice across two countries.Sources:https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/from-paris-to-west-cork-and-back-the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-1.3910782https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-a-chronology-1.2158891https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/a-23-year-investigation-what-next-for-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-case-1.4123633https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024/01/22/garda-cold-case-review-of-film-producers-murder-to-continue-despite-ian-baileys-death/https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025/08/15/sophie-toscan-du-plantier-gardai-awaiting-results-of-tests-using-advanced-dna-collection-method/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/31/briton-convicted-of-murder-french-film-maker-ian-bailey-sophie-toscan-du-plantierhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/23/well-never-have-the-truth-death-of-suspect-ian-bailey-floors-family-of-french-film-makerhttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/police-and-justice/article/2024/01/21/ian-bailey-man-convicted-in-france-for-murder-dies-in-ireland_6453379_105.htmlhttps://shows.acast.com/westcork/abouthttps://www.netflix.com/title/81094755This Week's Episode Brought To You By:Progressive Insurance - Discover better rates at https://www.progressive.com/ ****Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderWarby Parker - Our listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
