This episode steams gently from the inside — towels on the floor, tiles sweating, something between a ritual and a very long shower. Dip in or out...

This is changing slowly, and balancing work and motherhood remains a challenge. However, many women also feel a new surge of creativity during pregnancy and when entering motherhood, and there is scientific evidence suggesting that the physical changes brought on by motherhood promote a new sort of creativity.

This episode is an informal exploration of this topic, with contributions from Tatiana Kolganova, Asami Kiuchi Oishi, and Maya Felixbrodt.

Curated and produced by Leonie Roessler for Studio LOOS, with funding from the Gemeente Den Haag.

Artist and composer Leonie Roessler explores creativity during pregnancy and the postpartum period of a woman’s life, both stages traditionally disconnected with working as an artist. It has been challenging for women to secure a career in the arts and to pursue art as a profession rather than simply as a hobby. When women emancipated themselves via contraception, they could pursue artistic careers, but still, they often had to choose between their work and becoming mothers.

A flood at home nearly ruined some of our records. While saving the collection, we revisited vinyls we hadn't played in years. It was a wonderfully odd mix which includes Ray Conniff, Rachmaninoff, Ferrante & Teicher, and the irresistible Pablo Beltrán Ruíz y Su Orquesta. Surprisingly, disaster makes for a good DJ.

Along with these rescued gems, we're also sharing some new promo love. Check out the latest releases from Phil Struck, Mel Keane, hydra:bad, and more.

In 1991, in the last year of the Soviet Union's existence, Melodiya decided to embark on a pioneering experiment in product marketing by launching the Signal Series of records. Each record in this series contained fragments of four new albums to be released, and the envelopes contained sketches of their artwork. The listener was invited to vote for their favorite artist by sending a written request to the major's editorial office to order the record through the label's official store. In essence, Melodiya launched the process of the first democratic elections in the Soviet Union.

In total, the series included 10 LPs with fragments of upcoming albums by 40 artists respectively. Most of them were bands playing the fashionable gorby rock - the so-called “red wave” guitar music of Gorbachev's perestroika period with screaming socio-political lyrics and manifestos. However, the series also included music by Russian art-rock bands, which at that time had already become cult in underground circles and had their own army of listeners (AuktsYon, NOM, NOL, Object of Mockery and others).

I compiled this episode from the music of projects that were less honoured by listeners - their albums were never released on Melodiya in full form. And the label was shut down shortly after the release of the last LP in the series. You will hear outsider new wave, occult hard rock, national reggae, free jazz and mesmerising folk. I'm kidding though - one project on this tracklist did release their debut LP on Melodia. You have one hour to guess who it was.
