Podcast Overview

Orpheus Sounds is a podcast from Orpheus Instituut in Gent, a research institution where we explore the making and understanding of music. We bring musicians, researchers, instruments, books, and above all, curiosity to the conversation. We offer exploratory conversations with our researchers, guests, and associates of Orpheus Instituut, discovering together what is so exciting about their work with music and sound. We offer candid acoustic "snapshots" of our circle of colleagues and friends, discussing the music, the practices and the ideas which shape our views of the world. Everyone here has their own approach, and so we offer an enormous range of ideas and experiences. If it is musical or related to sound, someone here is probably enthusiastically gaining knowledge with, through, and from it! This is artistic research in music: we offer unique perspectives on the questions (and sometimes even the answers) behind the music of the past, the present, and the future.

Emily Worthington - Resonances of the Past

How can we make contact with the sounds and habits of the nineteenth century? In this episode, we speak to Emily Worthington, co-principal investigator of the research cluster Performance and Embodiment at Orpheus Instituut. She tells us about how playing the clarinet can sometimes involve time-travel and what our bodies can teach us about making music and bringing history to life through musical performance. Working with the legacy of the nineteenth century clarinettist Carl Baermann, Emily's work brings us closer to the ways that people lived and listened nearly 200 years ago. --- REFERENCES <ul> <li><a href= "https://orpheusinstituut.be/research/researchers/emily-worthington"> https://orpheusinstituut.be/research/researchers/emily-worthington</a></li> <li><a href= "https://baermannsbody.york.ac.uk/">https://baermannsbody.york.ac.uk/</a></li> </ul> Orpheus Sounds is a series of snapshots of Orpheus Instituut, a research center where we explore the making and understanding of music. <a href= "https://orpheusinstituut.be/">https://orpheusinstituut.be</a> podcast@orpheusinstituut.be Made with the support of Wederik de Baecker, Pieter Blomme and Kayo Quintens.

Hainbach - Sound on the Moon

On today's episode, we talk to electronic musician and sound artist Hainbach about how to discover amazing sounds in the most unexpected places and from the most unusual sources. Finding the fascination in big dials and knobs and pushing his equipment to the edge of its capabilities (and sometimes beyond), Hainbach introduces us to his site-specific world of exciting new sounds. Join us on a journey to the moon via Berghain and deconsecrated churches. Based out of Berlin, Germany, electronic music composer and sound artist Hainbach creates shifting audio landscapes THE WIRE called "One hell of a trip". He has been fascinated with electronic sounds since he discovered the dial on the radio. Never losing his childhood wonder, he still searches for the sounds in between on uncommon electronic instruments, tape and test equipment, making even the "unmusical musical". Through his YouTube channel Hainbach brings experimental music techniques to a wider audience. He is an award winning film composer, and his compositions for ensembles have been featured at Witten, Gaudeamus and Impulsfestival Halle. His music software and hardware is used by musicians world-wide. He tours regularly, and has taught at Humboldt University, Manchester School of Arts, Hybrid Arts Lab Dresden, MRC Copenhagen, among others. --- REFERENCES During our conversation, Hainbach mentioned several projects where vintage lab equipments are turned into musical instruments.

William Texeira - Climate Change and the Cello

Today, we hear from William Texeira, a cellist specialising in the performance of new music. He gives us insights into his work centred on the world's largest wetlands, the Pantanal region of Brazil and the immediacy of ecological crisis. He has just performed at the COP CMS (Conference of Parties, Conservation of Migratory Species) in Campo Grande, Brazil. Our conversation moves from conventional musical performance and the function of the score to finding a balance between political necessities and the dangers of extractionist approaches while working towards musical and social impact and transformation. --- REFERENCES <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.williamteixeira.com/">https://www.williamteixeira.com/</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.wetlands.org/blog/the-pantanal-building-a-resilient-future/"> https://www.wetlands.org/blog/the-pantanal-building-a-resilient-future/</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/10/3643">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/10/3643</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Stanislavski">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Stanislavski</a> </li> </ul> Orpheus Sounds is a series of snapshots of Orpheus Instituut, a research center where we explore the making and understanding of music. <a href= "https://orpheusinstituut.be/">https://orpheusinstituut.be</a> podcast@orpheusinstituut.be Made with the support of Wederik de Baecker, Pieter Blomme and Kayo Quintens.
