Frederic Leighton fared as an underestimated salon painter up till 1895. Then he painted this masterpiece – Flaming June. It sings to us with radiant color and elemental symbols. Many see this painting as simple. It’s a beautiful woman in a glorious dress. They’re not wrong. But as with most masterpieces, more levels of meaning resonate here. The initial pulse check on this painting delivers heat. It’s titled Flaming June for good reason. Orange bursts through the canvas as cascading fire. The gown’s flames ripple like an out-of-control blaze. This lovely woman seems to sleep inside an inferno. Surrounding details balance this piece, though. It’s not only about fire. Leighton frames June with earth, sea, and air elements to harmonize the painting. Frederic Leighton painted Flaming June only about a year before his death. With that in mind, the painting crosses the boundary between an artist’s work and their legacy. Leighton was popular in his day. As a British painter, he made lots of money and was even knighted. But few would have guessed he’d paint a true masterpiece. His work fit into the category of salon paintings. Today’s equal might be an artist who does pieces to match interiors for one percenter. He far outdid himself with Flaming June, though. This beauty speaks to us beyond any decorator’s vision. It touches us today as a glorious masterpiece.

Texts from Tristan Tzara, Sandro Penna and Walt Whitman.

Sandro Penna

Deserto è il fiume. 
E tu lo sai che basta ora 
con le solari prodezze di ieri. 

Bacio nelle tue ascelle, 
umidi, fieri, 
gli odori di un'estate che si guasta. 

ENG ver.

Desert is the river. 
And you know it is enough now 
With yesterday's sunny prowess. 

Kiss in your armpits, 
moist, proud, 
the smells of a summer being spoiled. 


Walt Whitman
Leaves of grass

I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen, and accrue what I hear into myself… 
and let sounds contribute toward me.


Tristan Tzara

L’arte fu, nell’infanzia del tempo, preghiera.

ENG ver. 
Art was, in the infancy of time, prayer.

PODCAST 023 with Diereva (live)

Hard to put into words how special that night was.

Last year on Christmas Day was held Inchala Yard, a very special event in my favorite spot in town. Inchala has been the place I felt the most at home at, part thanks to the beautiful environment, but mostly because of its community and care for one another. Inchala Yard was an event for grounding, gathering and celebrating the end of the year together, having the opportunity to play there was a pure blessing. 

The recorded set follows what this event is about, an introspective voyage of slow and deep sounds, helping one make a pause, reflect, hug and cherish loved ones.

I cannot thank enough Samie and the Inchala community for being kind and welcoming hearts. I will feel forever grateful to have crossed path and shared moments like this.

Love

Mia Kober [Aoteroa , New Zealand summer edition] 🌿 wdlnds. tape '84

On a dark and windy day in January, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) touched down near the edge of a forest, high on the white chalk cliffs of the island Møn, where they met 6 boys. This was quite unusual as witches basically never mingle with humans. The boys appeared to be 6 brothers, with ages ranging from 10 (Falke’s age) to 19 (Hekske’s age). They entered the forest where a narrow path led them to a wooden cabin in a hidden glade, where an old man was living. He introduced himself as Thorbjørn and explained he was about to light his annual winter bonfire. They all sat down in a circle around the crackling fire and felt the pleasant heat. Thorbjørn sang a mysterious old Norse song. Then he revealed his big secret. This was the very first time he told anyone that he was actually a berserker, who had stayed in hibernation mode for over 1000 years. After the Battle of Brunanburh (where he fought for king Æthelstan) he threw his double-sided axe into the North Sea while returning home from Albion, and settled down on the island of Møn to live a peaceful life in the middle of this forest. He became a vegan and never even killed a mosquito. He never ever told anyone about his dark past as a berserker until tonight, the endless winter night. Then Thorbjørn slowly stood up and went to his wooden cabin. A few minutes later, he came out of his hut, only wearing a loincloth and a fur pelt of a large animal as a cape. Hekske’s heart skipped a beat when she realized it was a bear’s skin. It was a fearsome sight. Thorbjørn explained this was his uniform which he wore on the battlefield. Before each battle, the berserkers always danced all night around a bonfire until they reached the ecstatic ‘bersærkergang’, the berserker’s rage during which they lost the fear of death and were ready to take on a complete army. Thorbjørn told it was a very bad kind of energy.
At that moment Falke had a vision. She actually saw the beauty of this raw energy, or at least a somewhat less powerful version of this energy. The 6 boys were very eager to don the bear’s skin and perform the berserker’s dance. Falke pointed at Tore, the oldest of the 6 brothers. He disappeared for a while in the log cabin, and came back only wearing a loincloth and having very cold in the chilling wind. Thorbjørn took off his bear skin and gave it to Tore, who donned it over his head. All of a sudden, Tore didn’t feel the cold anymore. Now he was ready to dance his way to the ‘bersærkergang’. Guided by Falke, he started dancing, but the energy didn’t feel right. Suddenly Falke turned to Thorbjørn and asked him whether he was hiding a weapon inside his cabin. The face of the berserker immediately turned pale and he hesitantly admitted that he had indeed hidden a sword. He went into the cabin and returned with a long glimmering sword. It was a real Ulfberht sword, made from the hardest steel on the world, which could back then only be found in Persia. It was a truly impressive piece of blacksmithing, but it was just unacceptable to keep a weapon on the peaceful island of Møn. Falke took the sword, looked at it for a brief moment, and planted it into the ground. Then something amazing happened. It was as if the earth sucked up the weapon, until it completely disappeared under the ground. Falke knew it would sink deeper and deeper over the next 100 years, all the way to the centre of the earth where it would eventually melt and fuse with the core of mother earth. Suddenly the forest felt very serene and peaceful. Now the 6 boys were ready for the berserker’s ritual…

Sensocasts #37 - AVM

After a rainy morning in late March, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) went for their daily inspection round of the damp witch’s forest. Along the way, they met with a group of squirrels, a group of starlings and a group of snails, after which they had a chat with Barney the barn owl. He remembered that centuries ago, there used to be special names for all specific groups of animals, but now all these names have been forgotten. Then Falke asked whether he was really sure that all these names had been lost for good. Barney gave it a deep thought, and then he said that ‘mayybee … maybe there is a chance that the owls of Snowdonia have preserved these ancient names’. And Barney proposed to fly to that place, which left the witches elated. Hekske uttered a size reduction spell and both (now pocket-sized) girls jumped on the back of Barney, who flew away in Western direction. After a long flight over the North Sea on the wings of the owl, a pod of porpoises showed them the way to the island of Albion. And on top of the white cliffs on the coast, the visitors were immediately spotted by a watch of nightingales, who showed them the way to Snowdonia. On the edge of the forest, a murmuration of starlings took over and guided their guests to the hollow willow tree. Barney, Hekske and Falke entered the tree through a small hole, but after entering they found themselves in the middle of a vast chamber which was full with owls. This was obviously the parliament of owls and its eldest member (a venerable eagle-owl) welcomed their visitors, and enquired what was the purpose of their quest. Hekske explained that they were seeking the names of all specific groups of animals. Upon hearing this request, the eyes of the eagle-owl lit up and he started to smile. He showed his visitors the way to a secret library, where they found a very old and dusty book. The eagle-owl explained that this was the original book of St-Albans, written in the 15th century and one of the oldest printed books of Albion (and the oldest English book written by a woman). Hekske and Falke cautiously opened the age-old book and browsed to the chapter about ‘The Companies of Beasties and Fowlies’. And there they found the list of all groups of animals … a gaggle of geese, a bike of bees, an unkindness of ravens, a murder of crows, a conspiracy of rooks, a skulk of foxes, a business of ferrets …
This book was a real treasure which left the witches breathless. The rest of the day, Hekske, Falke and Barney memorized over 100 different group names, after which they said goodbye to the parliament of owls and flew back to their home forest in Flanders. And after a long flight they got a warm welcome by a group of coots … and now they could reveal that they were actually a ‘covert’ of coots …

Landhouse & Raddantze (@landhouse-raddantze) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.124

Für unsere #124 zeichnen sich diesmal die beiden Herren Landhouse&Raddantze aus Karlsruhe verantwortlich.

Seit nunmehr 4 Jahren gehen die beiden Freunde gemeinsam als DJ & Produzenten Duo durch dick und dünn. Bereits vor dieser Zeit waren sie schon seit einigen Jahren freundschaftlich miteinander verbunden und zogen in dieser Zeit gemeinsam durch die Partylandschaft. Dabei war ihr musikalischer Weg bis dato etwas unterschiedlicher Natur. Während sich Raddantze schon etliche Jahre dem Produzieren verschrieben hatte, war sein Kollege Landhouse seit jeher als leidenschaftlicher Vinyl-DJ bekannt. Beiden liegt das musizieren quasi in den Genen, denn sie stammen aus Musikerfamilien und wurden so schon sehr früh mit dem Musik-Virus infiziert. Schließlich haben sie bei einem ihrer gemeinsamen nächtlichen Ausflüge beschlossen ihre Liebe und Power für die elektronische Musik zu bündeln - Gott sei Dank möchte man fast sagen.

Ihr musikalisches Zuhause fanden die beiden Karlsruher in dem Netlabel Seaside Trip mit ihrer gleichnamigen Podcastreihe, wo ihr Captain Rolandson eisern das Steuer führt. Ihre Produktionen fanden bereits den Weg auf so klangvolle Labels wie Underyourskin Records, Serafin Audio Imprint, Black Hills Recordings und Wildfang Records und ihre Tracks werden von allen Größen der entschleunigten Szene gespielt, wie z.B. Mira, Unders, Monolink.

Für uns hat das Duo eine verträumte und zugleich verspielte Reise kreiert, welche uns Hörer sofort und unweigerlich in seinen Bann zieht - wahrlich zauberhaft. Dafür gebührt ihnen unser tiefempfunder Dank. Wir wünschen euch nun maximalste Unterhaltung mit unserer #124.

daydreaming with Landhouse (27-12-2019)

Harabeclipse 002 by Hekske

Autumn - the most pleasant season, melancholic and dreamy. Sometimes cold and wet, but also warm and bracing. There is something grounding about this time when cosiness comes back in our lifes again. Days are getting shorter, while warm nights by the fireplace are getting longer. The sky dipped in golden lights and the birds moving on to some place better. Streets are getting quieter.
For us, what belongs together comes together. 

A very special atmosphere surrounds the vast of brightly colored forests.
Landscape. Mellowhouse. LANDHOUSE!
Hello Benjamin, hello mellow!
