Let’s bring some new questions to our radio making

Where do we live? Where is my horse? Where comes the air from? How to build healthy relationships? Wie viele Leute kennst du hier? Is there a silent place here? Warum? Warum gerade jetzt? Why am I here? Welche Eissorte? Warum? When is it 17 o‘ clock? Where is my horse? What do I hear? Where do you live? What sound do you like to hear when falling asleep?

Perhaps we won’t find all the answers this time, but there is always next year, by the lake.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

• audio / visual decomposer Lepke B posits the question - "How will we live in the 21st Century?"

This episode starts with Gesualdo, a 16th-century composer-murderer and Prince of Venosa who is famous for his madrigals that were ahead of their time (some would argue they still sound a bit too contemporary). It is followed by a piece of a contemporary composer Caroline Shaw that is inspired by a motet by another 16th-century composer Thomas Tallis, from England.

This is followed by music written by Thomas's contemporary compatriot—John Dowland. Dowland's composition is secular and chamber, fashionably melancholic—has been written in the shade of Elizabethan England religious and political repressions. Not unlike the next piece by Valentyn Silvestrov, a contemporary Ukrainian composer who shares not just Dowland's melancholy (except Silvestrov's melancholy is brighter and is more rooted in the XIX century) and chamber intimacy of "Kvartirniki"—dissident apartment concerts hidden from Soviet cultural repressive machine.

Next one is Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou, a Sylvestrov's contemporary, an Ethiopean pianist nun who shares her intimate "home piano" with Valentin's sound but brings a completely different, much less Western perspective to this practice. She's followed by another composer nun (later—abbess), Hildegard von Bingen, from the XII century. Hildegard's music, as Margot Fassler aptly noted, is like a stick of dynamite thrown into a Gregorian chant. However, Hildegard didn't have any musical education. The same is true for me. She relied on her secretary to write her music down (that she supposedly sang to him or her).

I rely on machines instead, on my modular synthesizer that is programmed to do generative polyphony—several self-playing melodies performed at the same time. You can hear it on Giardino, next track. Generative polyphony there is joined by improvisations on period instruments: baroque oboe, archlute and baroque viola.

It is followed by Beata Viscera, Perotin's music from the XII century Paris. He is one of the first known composers of polyphonic music and one of the most famous representatives of the Notre Dame school of polyphony. Then there's a composition by John Tavener, a XX century English composer who shares with Perotin the sacred quality of music.

The playlist is concluded with Brighde Chaimbeul, a Scottish bagpipe player. The connection is with Perotin's music, in Beata Viscera Perotin uses drone—a tone that is constantly held during the whole piece. Like a music foundation. Similar techniques are widely employed by various fold and ethnic music around the world, including the Scottish bagpipe music.

Injazero Records founder Siné Buyuka plays a selection of electronic, experimental, ambient and contemporary classical tracks.

An ongoing event series at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, and soon to take residence at the Watershed in Bristol, Schtinter's project challenges all of the calcified criteria that is usually used to form and signpost a curated programme. The accompanying book, published by Tenement Press, has been described by Laura Mulvey as "very strange and deeply thought provoking," and by Alan Moore as "profound and riveting, a remarkable achievement."

Schtinter's other recent projects include Schneewittchen (IFFR, 2024), The Lock-In (Barbican Centre, 2022) and Important Books (or, Manifestos Read by Children) (Whitechapel Gallery, 2021-22).
