Tonhallenkonzertvideo #89  NaabtalDeath and Trampelfâd

Recorded respectfully on the land of the Nuennone people.

The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae victoriae) is not native to Tasmania: it was deliberately introduced there - by an ornithology group. Between 1934 and 1949, 22 Superb Lyrebirds were released at Mt Field National Park in the mid south and at Hastings in the far south. The Lyrebirds flourished, and continue to spread widely. Today, experts estimate that their population must be well over 10,000, if not even higher. The Superb Lyrebird has basically 'gone feral'.  And it's known to be having some negative impacts on forest ecosystems. However, one thing that I haven't yet seen discussed or studied is what negative acoustic-ecological impacts Lyrebirds might be having upon native and especially endemic Tasmanian bird species. Some forest soundscapes are being overwhelmed by multiple Lyrebirds, spread through the forest, simultaneously performing intricate, complex and well-projected mimicry for very long periods of time. Fascinating as this is, it's very hard to believe that the native and endemic bird species can communicate naturally and effectively, as they need to do, when such mayhem is going on.

The UFO has been called a "technological angel" and the central mythic symbol of the modern age; we examine some of the extraordinary stories, from throughout history, of strange lights and objects seen flying through the sky, from medieval Italy to modern New Mexico, and consider carefully the problems that they present -- for historians, as well as for government, and for ordinary people who want to fit the strange and anomalous into our understanding of the world.

Correction:  The biologist to whom D.W. Pasulka refers as "James" in "American Cosmic" is Garry P. Nolan, not Craig P. Nolan.

Myth of the Month 23:  UFOs

This album is about Warsaw in the past. It tells the story about blocks of flats, clouds, night buses, junkies, parks and backyards.

Some places have probably never been as we remember them now. We've never been there, so it's time to come back.

Have a good trip!

Recorded shortly after a shower during the rainy season in the Atlantic Forest Reserve Mbaracayú, Paraguay. 

This dusk chorus climax is dominated by amphibians. After some initial research, the species heard are Leptodactylus elenae (or fuscus?), Leptodactylus mystacinus and a Dendrosophus (minutus or nanus). 

If anyone reading this can help to confirm or correct any of the ID, please get in touch. Thank you for listening!

Ryan and Todd interpret David Lynch's Blue Velvet by paying special attention to the Kantian dimension of the film. They consider the film in terms of the thing-in-itself and the sublime.

Jeffrey Bell joined us to speak about his recently published book, An Inquiry into Analytic-Continental Metaphysics.

Jeffrey A. Bell is Professor of Philosophy at Southeastern Louisiana University. He has recently been a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, during which time much of this book was written. He is the author of numerous books and articles on Deleuze and Deleuze and Guattari, including Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy?: A Critical Introduction and Guide (Edinburgh University Press, 2016), Deleuze’s Hume (Edinburgh University Press, 2008), Philosophy at the Edge of Chaos (University of Toronto Press, 2006) and The Problem of Difference: Phenomenology and Poststructuralism (University of Toronto Press, 1998). Bell is co-editor with Paul Livingston and Andrew Cutrofello of Beyond the Analytic–Continental Divide: Pluralist Philosophy in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge, 2015) and with Claire Colebrook of Deleuze and History (Edinburgh University Press, 2009).


By developing a metaphysics of problems, Jeffrey Bell shows how the history of both the analytic and continental traditions of philosophy can be seen to be an ongoing response to the problem of regresses. By highlighting this shared history, Bell brings these two traditions back together to address problems that have been essential to their projects all along and central to much of the history of philosophy.

Jeffrey Bell - An Inquiry into Analytic-Continental Metaphysics

Performed by Arditti Quartet and SWR Symphonieorchester on February 8, 2020 at ECLAT Festival.
Conductor: Michael Wendeberg

About the work:

Named after a quotation from an essay written by Tim Rutherford-Johnson, in which he reflects on the research I had conducted at Hagia Sophia and the extent of its possibilities in unlocking the social memories of an architecture, “… like dissolving ancient amber and letting a trapped insect fly away” is a work composed for simultaneous string quartet and large orchestra that was premiered by the Arditti Quartet and the SWR Symphonieorchester in 2020 at the ECLAT Festival.  The work is simultaneous in the sense that it consists of two interdependent works, namely a string quartet and an orchestral work, which can be performed together or as stand-alone works. As such, the string quartet is not conceived as a concertino group, nor is it regarded as an ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello; but rather as a medium based on its own specific collection of gestures and movements.

“… like dissolving ancient amber…” is based on a hybrid structure modeled after the actual architecture of the Fatih Mosque and what I developed as the hypothetical architecture of the Church of the Holy Apostles. The intention behind this hybrid structure was not to simulate or to map out space, or to render a fixed point of observation for a specific narrative, but to develop a sonic-temporal architecture emerging from two spaces, as a form of resistance re-imagined through embodiment.
