[Repeated from Monday 10pm.] A monthly programme with Kristopher Winter, dedicated to the exploration of Eastern European culture. In this episode Kristopher presents multi-instrumentalist Bartosz Weber, one of the most important Polish contemporary music producers. He is recognized both as a solo artist and as found of Baaba, co-founder of Slalom, and a member of Mitch & Mitch band and Lado ABC - a community of close friends, a cultural association which collectively runs a label that has published over 90 albums featuring music that defies genres and conventions. This special show includes an exclusive preview, in advance of the premiere, of new material from Weber's project 'MIR,' a collaborative endeavour with Miłosz Pękala. This seamlessly merges the pair’s musical interests within the realms of electronics and instrumental music. Drawing inspiration from the musical landscape of the turn of the century, 'MIR' incorporates elements reminiscent of Raymond Scott, the vibrant and dynamic arrangements synonymous with Norwegian jazz, and the minimalistic sensibilities of Chicago's post-rock scene. Prepare to be enthralled by the enchanting soundscape that Bartosz Weber creates as he masterfully blends past inspirations with his artistic vision, resulting in an immersive and compelling musical journey!

Isotopica
Cultural sonic detours with artist Simon Tyszko. This week: we consider “Lacunae resonance", a scientific and philosophical concept describing a sonic phenomenon that occurs when a complex network of sounds is arranged and manipulated to create a gap or pause in the auditory experience, akin to a lacuna. This gap is not simply silence, but rather a deliberate interruption of the expected patterns and rhythms of sound, resulting in a moment of heightened awareness and introspection for the listener. The term "Tyszko resonance" draws on the artist's experimentation with sound and his exploration of the boundaries and interplay between neurodivergence, noise and music. First broadcast 20 April 2023. Visit theculture.net/ for more information. [Repeats Thursday 5am.]
