Thanks Amanda for the picture sitting beside you on the ride.

Your music has been such a huge part of my life, that sometimes it feels like you've been watching me grow up. Thank you, dear Amanda.

I have a postcard from you. It's on a shelf near my desk where I can look at it often.

Claire Egan: Fiddle
Sinéad Egan: Guitar
Jack Talty: Piano

Claire Egan has been in studio on a few occasions in the last few months and recording of her debut album is well underway. Her sister, Sinéad, has been providing some accompaniment on guitar. A recent studio out-take that we shared on social media prompted an immediate and overwhelming response, hinting at what we anticipate will be a very well received CD in 2015.
Claire has been immersed in the great music scene of London listening to the likes of Brendan Mulkere, Brian Rooney, Sean Casey and John Carty. Claire is also a Masters graduate from the prestigious Royal Academy of Music, London and performs extensively with ensembles and groups around the world. Her music speaks for itself; it is creatively exquisite with an effortless touch that produces a style of her own.

From the sleeve:
"Perhaps more than any other composer of his generation, Stockhausen realised that serialism had an expressive potential which went far beyond the method of twelve-tone composition devised by Schoenberg. In these three key works from the 1950s and early 1960s he found ways of using the serial principle to govern not just pitch, but every aspect of sound-types and their distribution in time and space, culminating in Plus-Minus, a score which specified not sounds but rather a system of organising sounds." Christopher Fox

Amanda Palmer & Friends Present Forty-Five Degrees: Bushfire Charity Flash Record

Beds Are Burning (feat. Brian Viglione, Jherek Bischoff & Missy Higgins)

Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with BJ Miller. Recorded May 9th, 2019 in Marin, CA.

BJ Miller is a palliative care physician at UCSF Medical Center. At the age of 19, BJ was electrocuted and lost 3 of his limbs. This accident led him down a path of studying art history and eventually towards his career of palliative care, comforting the dying.

His 2015 TED Talk, entitled “What Really Matters at the End of Life” presented BJ’s perspective on death.

BJ is also the subject of the 2018 Netflix documentary, “End Game.”

His book, “A Beginner’s Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death,” was released last year. The Washington Post called it, “a gentle, knowledgeable guide to a fate we all share.”

BJ currently sees patients and families via telehealth through Mettle Health, a company he co-founded with the aim to provide personalized, holistic consultations for any patient or caregiver who needs help navigating the practical, emotional and existential issues that come with serious illness and disability.

We talked about art history as therapy, living life as an art composition, the relationship between limitations and creativity, making the best of your situation and the allusion of independence.
