🕷Frédéric D. Oberland
Paris-based Frédéric D. Oberland is an experimental multi-instrumentalist, composer, photographer and label co-owner of NAHAL Recordings. Founding member of avant-rock collective OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE, electro-shamanic and psych-noise groups FOUDRE! and Le Réveil des Tropiques, he has released on Sub Rosa, Hallow Ground, Gizeh Records, IIKKI, In Paradisum and NAHAL Recordings, producing film scores and soundscape installations. His music spiral into an uninterrupted stream of complexity, high detail, and originality; an ongoing battle between heaving dissonance and harmonic breakthrough with an intimate sense of trance and momentum. By the sharp edge of light and sound, his last solo album « Même Soleil » is an haunting dialogue with photographer Gaël Bonnefon ; other recent collaborations include sonic works with Irena Z. Tomazin, Mondkopf, Jerusalem In My Heart, Christine Ott, Gaspar Claus, Bérangère Maximin and Richard Knox.

Sailing Stones - Frederic D Oberland - 19/04/2022

An astrophysicist who’s also explored her science by way of a novel about two pivotal 20th-century mathematicians, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing. Both pushed at boundaries where mathematics presses on grand questions of meaning and purpose. Such questions helped create the technologies that are now changing our sense of what it means to be human.

Janna Levin — Mathematics, Purpose, and Truth (April 3, 2014)

A passionate translator of the beauty and relevance of scientific questions, Margaret Wertheim is also wise about the limits of science to tell the whole story of the human self. Her Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles reveals evocative, visceral connections between high mathematics, crochet and other folk arts, and our love of the planet.

[Unedited] Margaret Wertheim with Krista Tippett

The philosopher and Catholic social innovator Jean Vanier is a teacher of the wisdom of tenderness. The L’Arche movement, which he founded, centers around people with mental disabilities and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month. We experience how Jean Vanier brings the most paradoxical religious teachings to life: that there’s power in humility, strength in weakness, and light in the darkness of human existence.

[Unedited] Jean Vanier with Krista Tippett

A record of slowly evolving beauty that gradually unravels its meditative design. Recorded in Norwegian sculptor and painter Emanuel Vigeland' s (1875 -1948) mausoleum in Oslo in 2013. A recording space that is famous for its acoustics and its long and full-sounding reverb. These three tracks utilize both the delicacy and the power of acoustic instruments and human voice in relation to the unique recording space. This is a record that is otherworldly and eerie but also with a great primal expressive force. Performed by four artists from different backgrounds coming together to create this singular set of music.

Often quoted, but rarely interviewed, Mary Oliver is one of our greatest and most beloved poets. She’s just released a new volume, Felicity, at the age of 80. And so we’re revisiting the interview she granted us earlier this year on the wisdom of the world, the salvation of poetry, and the life behind her writing.

Karlheinz Stockhausen

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."

Nachtwache 19.Oktober

It seems French musician and photographer Frédéric D. Oberland might be able to play more instruments than I can name. Mentioned in the creation of his latest album, Labyrinth, are electric guitar, Dark Energy Doepfer, harmonic pipe, critter, Guitari Organelle, hurdy gurdy, pantophone, alto saxophone, duduk and flute, just to state a few. 

With the release due for the 26th October, we were kindly offered an exclusive stream of 'La Part Du Feu', an achingly sparse piece of meandering electronics.
