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.

Voices for Palestine - Global solidarity

Imaginary Instruments is the duo work of composer/sound artist Mitch Renaud and historical keyboard specialist Katelyn Clark. Formed in 2019 in Victoria BC, the two musicians share a fascination with the materiality of sound and of tuning relations between instruments. In their work, feedback systems of a modular synth combine with early instruments (portatif organ/harpsichord) to draw out unexpected and envisioned sound. They co-compose long duration pieces for live and recorded settings, drawing from historical tuning systems, deep listening practices, and the sonic imaginary.
