Basta Now

Hosted by Fanny Chiarello (who provided the drawing) & Natasha Pirard

“This episode of Long Wave is an ode to a book with the same title written by French poet, writer and music enthusiast Fanny Chiarello. A book that embodies a broad scope of some of the women, trans and non-binary musicians and composers who were and (still) are active within the field of experimental music. Not only is Chiarello one of the first who tries to capture this immense source of creativity within this field, it’s also an always expanding project with new names added each reprint. Non-hierarchical and very well written, this episode is a personal selection of Fanny Chiarello and co-host Natasha Pirard.”

The Crossing Point

Hosted by Mike Harding & Bana Haffar, who provided the image.

Screenshot

“The image of “The Crossing Point” comes from studies of projective geometry and plant growth. I could put it most simply this way: in the plant there is a layer –– sometimes only one cell wide –– between the tissue of the root and the shoot. It is a crossing point between earth and sun. Below, the root hairs grow out of the dense core –– think of a beet or a dandelion –– the gesture of the form radiates from a mid-point outward. Above, the foliage arises out of a hollow, drawn by the sun from the periphery. The movement resembles the figure-of-eight, or Moebus strip, where what was enclosed and digging down turns into what is open and lifting up. And vice versa. The two realms are an organic breathing continuum. The geometric form is the lemniscate. (ix). [M.C. Richards “The Crossing Point” 1973]

Sam Dunscombe: Two Forests / Oceanic (Black Truffle)

Secret Garden

“From its own fetal curves, green fiddleheads produce ancient spiral formations. The fiddleheads teach me to unfurl my own lineage & experience patterns – examine them, be with them, and listen to their messages. The fiddleheads are gifted time-travelers. If I don’t learn the lesson now, the pattern will show up in my life like an unwelcome visitor. By meditating with the spiral in mind, I can focus my attention on re-encountering the old wounds differently and imagine a new possibility. The fiddleheads teach me the vitality of perspective shift. The fiddleheads teach me to respect the slowest micro-movement & own my way forward.” – Marie Varghese
