Gone to the Deep

You think you know what happened that night

You can’t remember what led to the crime.

All you know is that you must return to the scene, to the clues that lie waiting in Room 11.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY marking the 80th anniversary of V-J Day – the effective end of World War II on August 14, 1945 - we present a panel discussion from the archives marking the 60th anniversary 20 years ago in Seattle in 2005. 

Participants included several Seattle area residents who were in the military, the Red Cross, working in defense plants or otherwise supporting the Allied war effort as young adults in 1945.

This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, July 28, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via www.space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms’ quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

DEATH FUGUE, on a poem by Paul Celan

Being that we're both students of history, we're going to leave the numbers aside today and talk about the parallels between today's political climate and what daily life was like in 1939. It was the beginning of World War II. There is a similar sense of foreboding and worry. 

So today lets look at the current geopolitical conditions and their historical parallels with 1939 including rising power, nationalism and anxiety.

Is This 1939 Again? - 08.22.25

This project explores the multimedia-art of classical and contemporary musical culture, merging traditional and experimental forms of sound and visuals. 

At its core is Dmitri Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony op. 110a, reimagined through a low-fi aesthetic with elements of glitch and break. Balancing personal perception with collective memory, the project presents the symphony as a form of “witches’ music” — a reference to the Night Witches, the Soviet female pilots of WWII, whose story has become a symbol of courage and resilience.

Through generative noise and indirect sampling, the project harmonizes opposites, examining how personal experience and public knowledge can be unified in a single artistic form.

You can watch the video for this track. It's an experimental clip made from documentary and film footage about female pilots in World War II, with lots of glitch and noise effects: https://youtu.be/AA5a4g1DuO0

In August of 1942, a blimp took off from San Francisco to do a submarine patrol. Later that day, it crash landed back in the city with nobody on board... what happened to the crew? On this episode Nathan talks about blimps, which he enjoys but not as much as he enjoys talking about airplanes.
