Mayhem

Hosted by Mike Harding & Bana Haffar

Legally speaking, mayhem refers to the gruesome crime of deliberately causing an injury that permanently disfigures another. The name derives via Middle English from the Anglo-French verb maheimer (“to maim”) and is probably of Germanic origin. The disfigurement sense of mayhem first appeared in English in the 15th century. By the 19th century the word had come to mean any kind of violent behaviour; now, mayhem can be used to suggest any kind of chaos or disorder, as in “there was mayhem in the streets during the citywide blackout.”

I went to the site in hopes of recording and documenting the destructive winds in some way. It wasn’t particularly windy at the time, and someone came blasting music and singing along with it, so I went up the trail to a quieter bush with a lot of life inside. This recording is a reminder of the rich biodiversity in Eaton Canyon, even in winter. Eaton Canyon has seen over 160 species and subspecies of birds, 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, and 21 mammals, plus at least 130 species of plants. I am hoping to document the recovery process over the next few years…”

But I was knocked out, and the band was busy getting me off the stage and to a hospital. When the lights came back up, there was no band on stage. And of course, the crowd freaked out. Someone should have gone out and explained—the promoter or someone. I mean, the band was worrying about getting me to the hospital, you know? So the crowd freaked out because there was suddenly no band on stage, and things got worse from there.” [Geezer Butler]

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]

“It is simply acknowledging that the world is actively unknowable to us, in opposition to the way that digital computation attempts to render the world knowable. We can’t read water in the same way as we can read data, and this is a good thing.” James Bridle. Ways of Being : Animals, Plants, Machines : The Search for a Planetary Intelligence.
