Voices for Palestine - Global solidarity
Sept. 7, 2024

This 4 hour collective community broadcast weaves sounds from protests to support freedom in Palestine from all around the world. Including voices of artists and activists who are joining the frontlines of expressing their solidarity with the people of Gaza. 

In this broadcast we hear a set of interviews that I recorded with organizers of the People’s Conference for Palestine in May 2024 in Detroit, Michigan, particularly with members of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). 

Also you will hear from Caoimhe Butterly, an organizer of the The Freedom Flotilla Coalition during the stop of Handala (حنظلة) in Lisbon, Portugal. 

For this broadcast I am also sharing interviews with long-time Palestine solidarity activists Adam Shapiro, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, in addition to a conversation with John Tarleton, the editor of The Indypendent in NY.

Below is a full track listing from the broadcast, please tune-in and encourage your friends to listen. 

All the best, sending my love and solidarity. - Stefan Christoff.

All Saints Day

"Ben Grossman is a busy musician: improviser, studio musician, composer, noisemaker and audio provocateur.  He works in many fields, having played on over 100 CDs, soundtracks for film and television, sound design for theatre, installations, work designed for radio transmission, and live performances spanning early medieval music to experimental electronica.  Ben's tools of choice are electronics, percussion, and, especially, the  hurdy gurdy (Drehleier/vielle à roue), a contemporary electro-acoustic string instrument with roots in the European middle ages.  He studied the instrument in Europe and has also studied Turkish music in Istanbul.  With an abiding interest in pushing the limits of his instruments and pushing the boundaries of whatever venue or medium in which he works, Ben's solo CD, Macrophone was released in 2007 and features a unique two disc form for simultaneous, aleatoric playback.
