Listening Experience #15 - Our Parents Told Us to Always Remember Home, the Evening Star ▾
This project is an ongoing internet collaboration curated by regina veldon. “Our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star” is a Facebook group. An internet mixtape.
Curator regina veldon writes:
“I discussed tonight the possibility of creating work based around the title ‘our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star’ and the image nasa released of earth as a bright, starlike object in the evening sky of mars.
The proposition, in more detail, is as follows:
The title of the works should be ‘our parents told us to always remember home, the evening star’
Artists are free to interpret the title and photograph any way they like
The works must be published by the artists themselves and each work must provide links back to the other works using the title so that we build up a web of links
The idea is to provide a hope for the future, to imagine the experiences of children born on a future mars colony.
The project is designed to extend past those invited and everyone who takes part is encouraged to ask others they know to produce their own work”
A monthly collection of audio experiments and listening objects with sound artist Matt Burnett from Berlin.

tekhnē #4 - DeForrest Brown Jr. ▾
This episode features DeForrest Brown Jr., an ex-American writer, journalist, theorist, curator and a self-described musician by necessity - releasing music under his Speaker Music moniker. DeForrest Brown Jr. is the author of the book Assembling a Black Counter Culture, where he presents a comprehensive account of techno with a focus on the history of Black experiences in industrialized labor systems—repositioning the genre as a unique form of Black musical and cultural production.
Assembling a Black Counter Culture reframes techno from a Black theoretical perspective distinct from its cultural assimilation within predominantly white, European electronic music contexts and discourse. This talk, given by DeForrest Brown Jr. on the 4th of October 2024 at Barreiro’s Jazz School as part of the programme of OUT.FEST’s 20th edition, is moderated by Margarida Mendes, and gives an overview of key details of his book and expands on its context two years after its publication.
Bi-monthly insights into the activities of the European project tekhnē, which started in 2023. The series showcases a selection of artists who share and discuss their work and listen to recorded material. By putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, this project aims to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art. Technology as an art of craft, appropriating and transforming existing tools, to imagine multiple ways of creative misuse. tekhnē is a collaborative project, co-funded by the European Union.
