Trans-Beskid Radio Volume 4 spun it's own web rather spontaneously yesterday afternoon/evening. Here is Part 1 without edits. Part 2 is 22 minutes in length, While there remains unused material from the initial sessions recorded in the summer of 2020, it seems to me this will be enough for a new release, soon on my Akashic Records label. The Trans-Beskid Radio series was projected to run into 6 volumes but I am not sure to find the time to carry out all these plans given the generosity of the creative spirit, the abundance of fresh material and the uptick in collaborations. But one can never tell when the spider will begin the dance. Volume 4 features shortwave radio captures (Beskid Mountains in Poland; Belovo, Bulgaria), live resampling, synthesizer and live radio captures (Poznan).

Iki no kôzô # 2 - w/Akemi Takeya

I sent music I titled "Ravine" to Paulo Chagas, who listened closely to it and responded with his alto sax. Our album explores this close listening in context of various mental landscapes, with this piece, being in a metaphoric ravine.

The Rifles & Garbage Podcast is named thusly to create a strong an mental association between militarism, waste and pollution. I am not opposed to subsistence hunting but maybe use a trap rather than firearms or maybe even try subsistence farming instead of the venison survivalist hype. This podcast has three movements. One introductory, paying homage to sources. The second featuring a recital of poems by Yahia Lababidi, Ghassan Kavafani, Noor Hindi, Yours Truly, Mourid Barghouti & Tony Brewer. The third and final section is a crunchy leaf peripatetic meander musings about Captain Beefheart, the apolitical politics of acoustric ecology and Charles Darwin. All of it supported by the non-musically specific vibratory matters of the planet and background radiations and creatures of the air, wald and water i.e. field recordings. Photo from the internet of women in Ramallah circa 1890, artist unknown. Sumud in Palestinian Arabic means steadfastness. Props to the healers & field workers.

Rifles & Garbage Podcast 4 Sumud

This podcast we go deeper into the otherness. Poems by Tony Brewer, Ilaria Boffa (English & Italiano) and recitation of Osip Mandelstam (English & Russian) by Tim Williams. It's called Rifles & Garbage Podcast in order to draw attention to outrageous military spending, ecological disaster, arms racketeering and the exploitation and/or removal of indigenous populations in favor extraction of raw materials for corporate profit. Stop that. Yikes.
