This radiowork tells the story of a gathering on a hilltop in the Pyrenees. The year is 1301. Béatrice de Planissoles has called together herbwomen, healers, midwives and shepherds. She needs their collected wisdom to answer a question that has remained unanswered.
Episode Five wraps up the series (but a bonus soundwalk will follow!) and offers no resolution, but some insight (of course). Enjoy! …and especially note the piano music by Calliope Tsoupaki (performed by Saskia Lankhoorn) and Alanna Battat (performed by the composer), plus the poem by Gerrit Vennema (read by himself).
a new episode, about the need for physical contact, dancing, and movement…
Totally messed up! That’s what this episode’s title means.

my new podcast starts Friday, August 7th:

For my aunt’s birthday, here’s a ‘silent’ version of Hamlet, consisting solely of Shakespeare’s unspoken text: i.e. his stage directions. Also a shout-out to sound-artist Elise ‘t Hart, who has created a 600 euro box of lockdown sounds: This Podcast’s Playlist Paulo Da Firenze: Amor, tu solo’I sai; and Poc’anno di mirar – from Ballate e Madrigali, performed by Elisabeth Seitz. BUT WAIT! WHO’S PAYING FOR ME TO RE-ARRANGE SHAKESPEARE? well – actually – you could be. Please consider donating a dollar or three. In these difficult times, every little bit helps. …and in return, I will make a podcast every week for our quarantine’d time!
This week’s show is in memory of Fuad Bahou: cook, poet, and artist. It’s been a strange week for many reasons. Death has been present for many people I know. But music and food help to understand, mourn, and accept. Playlist: Music by Einojuhani Rautavaara, Lou Harrison and Ezio Bosso Text on time by: Ludovica Guarneri Video of Lou Harrison: Fuad’s Cauliflower with Tahini, as handed down to me by my mother: When I was young in the 1970s, I had an artist-teacher friend from Jerusalem named Fuad Bahou, who started a restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee. His brother Shawqi came to help him, and my husband Philip and I designed it. It was our first restaurant for them, and we went on to design four more. We were also waiters for the first year or two one night a week. My favorite recipe, one I still make fifty years later was fried cauliflower with tahini. It is so good. Cut all the flowerettes from a fresh head of cauliflower leaving a fat stem on each piece. Rinse, then fry in hot oil until the flowerettes brown. Drain well on paper towels. Put in a bowl and pour over them a dressing made of tahini thinned with water with a few tablespoons of added olive oil, mixed until it has a thick, still pourable consistency. Add tablespoon of well-crushed garlic, which would be four generous cloves, and a third of a cup of lemon juice. Add three-quarters of a cup of chopped Italian parsley leaves, salt to taste, plenty of fresh black pepper, and stir. Either serve immediately while the cauliflower is still warm, or later at room temperature, but not chilled. This salad is delicious with flatbread served with other salads like tabouleh and rice-filled grape leaves on the side, which is how Fuad liked to start a meal. Fuad Nakhleh Bahou passed away April 23, 2020 at his home in Knoxville, TN. Born May 14, 1935 to Nakhleh and Mary Bahu (formerly Nassan) in Al Bireh, Palestine, he attended a Quaker school in Ramallah. He was the first of his family to come to the United States after receiving a scholarship to a college in California. He spent most of his student years in Los Angeles, where he attended UCLA and worked at the flagship restaurant of the Carnation Company. After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in painting and art history, he joined the faculty of Knoxville College in 1968, establishing and heading the art department until 1975. In later years, he served as an instructor in the University of Tennessee and Georgia State University art departments.

Can I cope in the wild? It’s been 8 weeks in quarantine (or is it 9?) and so here’s this week’s podcast, with music from my friends Ben and Stéphane, and a thought-piece/sound-art-performance by Ned McGowan.

No, I’m not falling apart: this rant is only possible because I finally feel like I have a handle on my personal situation. I’m stabilized. But now that I’m stable, I’m looking around me, and saddened by how much my friends, family, and colleagues are suffering. Here’s my rant! Here’s an apt cartoon from The New Yorker magazine Playlist Soundtrack to Run, Lola, Run vocals: Franke Potente; written by Tykwer/Klimek/Heil (1999) DONATIONS By the way, since you are here, and reading this, and hopefully enjoying the podcast, please consider donating a dollar or three.
