Please see the Gigs / Events page for forthcoming performances
Noods Radio and Bristol New Music have released a video documentation of the performance at Bristol New Music in 2022 that I was part of – with Viridian Ensemble.
‘The video, realised via Sam Pilbeam, presents an excerpt of their performance, giving just a snippet of the prowess they offer as improvised performers. Laura Phillips, alongside their work in Bristol artist collective Beef and their work in the band, provided projections on the night enhancing the all round bewitching qualities of their ritualistic music. This is one to really lose yourself in’. The performance features myself, Dali de Saint Paul, Laura Phillips, Joseph Kelly, and Esme Betamax.
On 13 November, TBC Editions are releasing a new solo flute record of mine – Right Into The River.
Improvised and recorded over two days in February 2021, it represents a pining for the sea and for space, and an urge to use melody to articulate the inner. At the edges of sound, it explores breath and texture, melding flute with electronics and effects, sometimes layered up and morphed into alien pipes. Other tracks are more transparent; clear flute invocations of the wider world.
It’s being released on tape, and it comes with a screen printed cover based on my drawings and a full colour insert print of a watercolour I made. Click here to be taken to TBC Editions’ Bandcamp page, where you can pre-order your copy. I will also be performing live at the launch event – see the Gigs / Events page for full details.
I’m really pleased to feature on a new CD released on Spoonhunt on 1 June 2021 by. Consorts is a very large group put together by Dominic Lash. Distinctions was recorded live at Cafe Oto where we performed in honour of Dominic’s 40th birthday, in January 2020. Dom formed Consorts to ‘explore the possibilities of combining sustained-tone music, improvisation (both guided and free), and the relationship between acoustic and amplified sound’.
This incarnation of consorts was: Douglas Benford – harmonium and percussion, Steve Beresford – electronics, Marjolaine Charbin – piano, Chris Cundy – bass clarinet, Seth Cooke – steel sink and metal detector, Angharad Davies – viola, Phil Durrant – modular synth, Matthew Grigg – guitar/amplifier, Bruno Guastalla – cello, Martin Hackett – Korg MS10, Tim Hill – baritone saxophone, Tina Hitchens – flute, Sarah Hughes – zither, Mark Langford – bass clarinet, Dominic Lash – double bass, Yvonna Magda – violin, Hannah Marshall – cello, Helen Papaioannou – baritone saxophone, Yoni Silver – bass clarinet, Alex Ward – clarinet/amplifier.

I was a commissioned artist for CANOPY Network, working on their Phone Box Project from 2019-20. The aim of the project was for artists to place works in disused phone boxes over a 10 mile trail in the Forest of Dean area, telling a story about their locations. My work was intended to culminate in a composed sound art piece to be placed in the old phone booth, so people could pick up the receiver and be transported into an underground world – I had been exploring caves in the area and making field recordings / tracing stories and histories.
The Phone Box Weekender was planned for April 2020, but sadly due to COVID the project has been halted for the moment.
In the meantime, CANOPY artists have produced webpages that show our work in progress. I have made some tracks from the research I undertook; the tracks use the sounds I captured in the caves. In some cases the sounds have been treated and effected, but in others they have been left exactly as they were recorded. For the final piece of work I hoped to weave these sounds into a bigger composition, using instruments and voices to expand and develop.
You can read more about the Phone Box Project here, which includes links to individual artists’ pages. You can read more about my experiences and my work here. The player below shows my work in progress:
Halftone have just released a new album – A previous discussion about making an object. We recorded it in 2019. It’s taken a while to release but we’re very proud of it. Dedicated to Keith Tippett, with love.
You can listen, buy a digital copy, or buy a cassette tape via Bandcamp:
Cafe Oto has just released a live recording and a full film from Viridian Ensemble‘s show at OTO in February 2020. It is available to buy on their Otoroku label now.

You can listen and buy the record over on Bandcamp now. My huge thanks go to Kirsten McTernan for the wonderful photography. Please see Kirsten’s website for more of her work. Thanks also to Stephen Kerrison from Tall Trees Audio Mastering for his work.
High Tide, the film artist Sam Francis and I made this year as recipients of a ‘Interpreting Isolation’ grant from the British Music Collection and Sound & Music, is being featured in ‘All At Sea’. It’s a project by Arts Walk Porty, an Outdoor Film Programme happening on Sunday 18 October. The films will be projected onto Portobello Prom in Edinburgh, and will be shown again online soon afterwards.
A visual portrayal of the fragility of our seas & oceans, our climate, and of our own lives (during the pandemic), with a series of film shorts from around the world. The wild sea is explored as a metaphor for our recent uncertain times, alongside ideas for change.

Hokkett is comprised of Tina Hitchens, Yvonna Magda (violin) and Helen Pappaoiannou (baritone saxophone). rat was recorded in 2018, and has just been released via Bandcamp. Listen / buy here:
Viridian Ensemble has been awarded a prestigious commission, through Aerial Festival, who partnered with The Quietus, Europe’s largest online culture magazine, and The Willowherb Review, a journal dedicated to diversity in nature writing.
Five musicians and five writers were commissioned to respond to the tumultuous events of 2020, inspired in part by Wordsworth’s epic poem The Prelude and his 250th anniversary celebrations.
It seems this summer is the time to explore playing outside. Viridian Ensemble found ourselves in a tunnel recently. Thank you to Amy Cook for the photos. I got to experiment with a new instrument: the Blue & White Doughnut Pipe…
Myself and artist Sam Francis were recipients of an Interpreting Isolation grant from the British Music Collection and Sound and Music for new works that reflect on COVID-19 in a creative way in response to this unique moment in our history.
‘Drawing upon water as a source of inspiration and as a metaphor for the Covid 19 situation, Tina Hitchens based in Bristol and Sam Francis in Weston Super Mare met virtually over two weeks to connect their separate locations through different water sources – the WSM coast and the River Frome in Eastville, Bristol that both conjoin with the Severn Estuary. At the changing times of high tide they met virtually to observe, listen, look, meditate on and respond to the connecting pull of the water, the environment and surroundings to connect creatively and personally as a lifeline during these uncertain and disconnected times. This work is a montage of material gathered during these outings and a reminder that flow and continuity will always be present and can close the space between us as the space between us all widens’.
I recently appeared in an online stream hosted by the wonderful Newcastle venue, The Old Police House. Featuring flute and FX pedals, it will be available to view online here for a fortnight.
After a nation-wide call for applications which saw over 150 responses, I’m delighted to announce that I am one of 6 recipients, with artist Sam Francis, of an ‘Interpreting Isolation’ grant from the British Music Collection and Sound and Music. The grants have been provided to enable musicians to present ‘new works that respond creatively to this unique moment in our history’. Read more here.
Allowing the water to connect us during this time of distance, we will meet separately by the water sources nearest to our homes in Bristol and Weston Super Mare at the changing times of high tide. We will observe, listen, look, meditate upon and respond to the water, the environment and surroundings to gather sound recordings, video, text and voice to create a new at-distance collaborative audio-visual work.
The 6 works will be launched and hosted on the British Music Collection online and shared via their social channels and newsletters over the coming months. Full details to follow.
Drummer Matthew Lovett and I made a distanced project during 2019 – Grass Sends Out Runners. Made via file swapping and recording improvised responses to each other’s sounds. I’m really happy to be able to release it now – we can still create when we’re not near each other.
As the Covid 19 situation in the UK worsens, all live performances in my diary have been cancelled. It is a worrying time for everyone, and the creative community has been thrown into truly uncharted territory. Many friends and colleagues are without work. If you’re able to, please consider making a donation to the wonderful Help Musicians UK, who provide Health and Wellbeing support to musicians.
Please also consider buying the music you value – direct from artists via platforms such as Bandcamp – it’s the best way to make sure the artists get the most income. Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share on sales this Friday, March 20 (from midnight to midnight Pacific Time), and rallying the Bandcamp community to put much needed money directly into artists’ pockets. There are many people whose incomes are precarious at this time, but please help if you can.
The following are links to recent musical projects of mine, but please explore the wonderful independent artists out there! I am so looking forward to being able to make music with those I love again soon, and to share it with people. There are plans to start streaming gigs online, free wherever possible. I’ll post links and instructions as soon as they’re available. Please note also that I am continuing to teach students at this time, and online lessons are available. If you would like to discuss this option, please just contact me.
It’s been an incredibly busy time with gigs recently, but I’ve also been making strides with my project for the CANOPY Network, who are based in the Forest of Dean. I’ve been exploring caves with GSS (Gloucester Speleological Society) who have kindly taken me under their wings.
So far I’ve visited Wigpool Mine and Miss Grace’s Lane cave. It’s been an incredible challenge but I have captured some astonishing sounds and stories. I have more cave trips planned, and I’m gearing up towards the final project, where I’ll make a soundscape to be placed into a phone box.
My solo songs project, Tisla, has had a lovely review in the Quietus…
all-too-human electronic songcraft: hermetic and inscrutable but with much that beguiles
Read the full thing here. Live shows to follow!
Tisla is my solo songs project. There is a new EP available now – My Mind, In a Line. Listen below, and buy a digital download.

More details to follow soon!
I have been invited to join the wonderful Viridian Ensemble as a core member…
They are: ‘An ethereal blend of image, voice, cello, flute and double bass which re-imagines folkloric forms and tropes of femininity. Improvisation of both sound and image (digital & analogue) produce a dialogic blend of textural depths. Dissociative states, keening, and the supernatural inspirit the ensemble; each performance evokes utterances, nonsensical languages, and trans species forms of communication through collective rhythm, tone and resonance’.
Supported by the PRS Foundation, Viridian are playing a range of tour dates in Autumn / Winter 2019. See the Gigs / Events page for details.
Harpoon’s new album, Permission Fist, is now fully launched and available to buy, here.
We had a wonderful review of the album, featured in the Quietus: “There are a metric tonne of producers out there reshaping techno with scalpels and microscopes: Harpoon are doing it with lump hammers and hard hats. Intense/immense”. Read the full review here.
I performed with the wonderful Viridian for a show on Noods Radio – a Bokeh Versions takeover. The live show is now available to listen to online:
Harpoon’s new album, Permission Fist, is soon to be released via Aphelion Editions! We’re having a launch party on 16 May at the Trap in Bristol (under the Crown on All Saints Lane). See the Gigs / Events page for full details.
You can pre-order the album online now, here: https://aphelioneditions.bandcamp.com/album/permission-fist.
I made the artwork for the album – it’ll be available as both CD and cassette tape (along with digital download):
I played as a guest with the wonderful Viridian in October last year, and you can now listen to excerpts of that evening’s performance:

As part of the Future Perfect public art programme in Bristol, I have been asked to write songs for various community groups as part of Freya Gabie’s Grafted Chorus at Hengrove and Whitchurch Community Orchard. I am creating bespoke songs that the groups will come together to perform at this special summer event. Starting from The Orchard, each group will begin their own song as the previous one ends – a song grafted, like a fruit tree, onto the last. And so on, with performers branching out beyond Whitchurch Green. The final performance will be Saturday 1 July, 14:00.
A work in progress showing is taking place at Spike Island Arts Centre on Sunday 30th April, 14:00. I have composed a song based on writer Holly Corfield Carr’s ‘Hengrove Wassail’, which will be performed by four vocalists.
The improvising quartet I play with – Halftone – have been recording! We spent some time at the beautiful All Saints Church in Long Ashton, Bristol. Further news to follow soon.
I have begun playing / writing in a new group – Hokkett – with violinist Yvonna Magada and saxophonist Helen Papaioannou. Hokket play ‘skronky / wonky riffs, snippets of melodies and hints of harmonies, woven together through improvisation’. More information to follow!
This improvised drum machines duo with Aron Ward – Harpoon – have released a live recording. Recorded on Saturday, October 22nd 2016 at The Firefly for Suprise Attacks in Worcester.
Improvising quartet Tina is flautist with – Halftone – are appearing with the legendary Les Diaboliques – Scottish vocalist Maggie Nicols, French bassist Joëlle Léandre and Swiss pianist Irène Schweizer.

Five minutes with Karolina Namyslowski
Karolina Namyslowski, creative director at amp sound branding, talks to Transform about the evolution of sonic branding and the challenges of working in the industry as a woman.
How sophisticated was the sonic branding industry back when your career began in 2013, and how has it changed?
When I started at amp in 2013, sonic branding was based on a singular asset - the infamous sonic logo. Today’s comprehensive approach to sonic branding used to be a niche thing and up until a few years ago; most clients wouldn’t even know about its existence or potential benefits. Winning new clients in the beginning came with mostly cold calling, but what’s encouraging is that we’re now seeing a significant shift in reception. More and more companies are starting to understand its strategic and financial benefits.
Amp created the term ‘Sonic DNA’, but what is it?
A Sonic DNA is the audible expression of a brand in sound. It consists of various ingredients like melodies, riffs, chord progressions, and sound effects. When you think about James Bond and how it has lived and evolved for more than 60 years, you have a very tangible example of a successful Sonic DNA that makes use of more than just a jingle in its soundtracks and specially created Bond songs. It uses the same riffs, chords and melodies that make the Sonic DNA flexible to be able to express any tonality - from action to romance - and still adapt to the zeitgeist.
The Sonic DNA development process at amp is very design-oriented in order to make it as transparent, comprehensive and tangible as possible for our clients. It’s not based on personal taste or aesthetics. It all starts with a brand analysis, making sure we understand every aspect of the brand - its values and brand positioning.
Based on the brand analysis, we then define its Sonic Principles and illustrate these with mood boards. These creative concepts are then paired with the right artists, and you obtain the right results. It’s not as easy as it sounds - on a given project we may create over 60 drafts in order to get it over the finish line!
What kind of challenges does your team face on these projects?
There are two big challenges. The first one is discussing technical subjects with clients and agencies, who are not trained or equipped to do so. A key part of my job is to decrypt spur of the moment opinions and feelings into concise and actionable points.
The second is that music is perceived as a very subjective matter. You have to teach and convince clients not to base their decisions on gut feelings, but rather make the right decision for their brand that is based on an analytical framework.
As a woman who has progressed from intern to creative director, what challenges have you faced in this industry?
As a woman in the music industry, I have one piece of advice: be prepared. Be prepared to be louder, smarter and faster than any man. Be prepared that men will sometimes steal your ideas, be prepared that it will be more difficult to get recognition. Be prepared that you will walk into client meetings and they will assume that you are the boss’ assistant, or won’t even say hello or goodbye.
But it’s worth it. Because as time progresses, I truly believe that women will take over leadership roles and allow for a more equitable and fairer workplace. In the interim, it is important to find the right mentors that see the potential in you, which has been a personal experience at amp.
What is your favourite project you’ve worked on at amp, and why?
One of my favourite projects of last year was the work we accomplished for St Jude Children’s Hospital. For this project, we started with the concept of a ‘Hero’, as we thought of all the people dealing with the challenge of children’s cancer. We considered how the kids go through immense pain and suffering but also continue to fight. This spirit is also embodied by the workers of St. Jude, who despite loss and personal trauma, continue to fight tirelessly to ameliorate the conditions of these children. I think the Sonic DNA lyrics describe it best:
“Hold my hand as we walk through the darkness, hold my hand as we walk through the night.
Listen close to the sound of your heartbeat as it guides us through the break of the morning light.
You’re looking at a hero, it takes a fighter.”

Desperately hurting people take their own lives every day throughout the world, yet the church is not on top of the epidemic and often seems ill- equipped to address it biblically and effectively.
Frank Page, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, learned this firsthand when he lost his daughter, Melissa, to suicide in 2009. Writing from personal experience, he examines the biblical truths that carried him through such a painful time and that minister to him on dark days still known to come around.
Ultimately, Melissa: A Father's Lessons from a Daughter's Suicide is beauty from ashes, a book of wisdom and hope that Page wishes he could have read before going through this valley, and a resource the church can use to directly address an all-too-real problem.
Frank Page, coauthor of The Incredible Shrinking Church, is a former president of the sixteen-million-strong Southern Baptist Convention and pastor of First Baptist Church in Taylors, South Carolina. He holds Ph.D. and M.Div. degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has also served as a seminary professor, Bible reference writer, and international speaker.
Lawrence Kimbrough has cowritten many books including New York Times No. 1 best seller The Love Dare.

Meet the Artist : Percy Fortini Wright
Percy Fortini-Wright is a Boston based artist who received both his BFA and MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. While in his youth he was most active writing graffiti during the late 90’s, becoming a technician of wild style graffiti letters, tags, and bubble letters. Simultaneously, he evolved as a traditional painter of scenes, abstraction, and portraitures such as his characters ‘The Children from Beyond’. Percy merges the worlds of classical painting and graffiti techniques boldly by pushing the boundaries of his work, without being confined by stylistic stereotypes.

USA Hockey struck an 11th-hour deal Tuesday night with boycotting players from its national women’s hockey team that will allow the United States to compete in the world championships.
The women’s team had vowed to boycott the tournament if USA Hockey wouldn’t address the players’ concerns over what they felt was inadequate compensation and support. The year’s biggest event — a preview of what might be in store at next year’s Winter Olympics — begins Friday in Plymouth, Mich.
“Today reflects everyone coming together and compromising in order to reach a resolution for the betterment of the sport,” Jim Smith, president of USA Hockey, said in the statement. “We’ll now move forward together knowing we’ll look back on this day as one of the most positive in the history of USA Hockey.”
The new deal is significantly more lucrative for the players, according to a person familiar with agreement. Previously, USA Hockey didn’t pay the women at all in non-Olympic years and gave each a total of $6,000 in the year leading up to a Winter Games.
Under the new deal, players could stand to earn in the neighborhood of $70,000 a year with the possibility of even more from performance bonuses, according to the source familiar with the contract. In addition to a $2,000 monthly training stipend from the U.S. Olympic Committee, the national team will split an annual pool paid by USA Hockey of at least $850,000 this year and $950,000 in each of the final three years of the contract. USA Hockey also agreed to pay players a $20,000 bonus for winning gold at next year’s PyeongChang Olympics, or $15,000 for silver.
With the clock ticking before Friday’s tournament opener, the organization’s executive board held an emergency meeting Monday to consider its options. The two sides spent most of Tuesday ironing out contract specifics before the players voted Tuesday evening on USA Hockey’s proposed deal.
With an agreement in place, the players are expected to travel to Michigan on Wednesday and practice Thursday afternoon, barely 24 hours before taking the ice for their opening-round game Friday night against Canada.
“Our sport is the big winner today,” team captain Meghan Duggan said in a statement. “We stood up for what we thought was right and USA Hockey’s leadership listened. In the end, both sides came together.”
The quarrel focused a bright spotlight on USA Hockey from all corners of the sports world, bringing attention to the disparity in resources afforded to the men’s and women’s national teams. Twenty U.S. senators weighed in Monday with a letter to Dave Ogrean, the executive director of USA Hockey, urging the organization to resolve the dispute.
Before Tuesday’s agreement, USA Hockey didn’t pay the women in non-Olympic years. The players had demanded higher wages and urged USA Hockey to make a bigger investment in its developmental programs targeting young girls.
As a part of the new deal, USA Hockey agreed to form an advisory group that will work “to advance girls’ and women’s hockey in all areas, including programming, marketing, promotion and fundraising,” according to a statement from the organization.
USA Hockey is based in Colorado Springs and is responsible for selecting and training teams for international competition. The organization had been exploring the possibility of fielding a team of replacement players, and executives had been scrambling in recent days for a solution.
“USA Hockey’s role is not to employ athletes and we will not do so,” Smith said last week in a statement. “USA Hockey will continue to provide world-leading support for our athletes.”
The men’s team similarly isn’t paid in non-Olympic years, but that squad is typically composed of well-compensated NHL players. The women’s players don’t have the same deep-pocketed sources of revenue.
This month’s standoff marked the second high-profile pay dispute between elite female athletes and an Olympic governing body in the past year. The women’s national soccer team filed a federal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last year alleging wage discrimination by U.S. Soccer.
The women’s hockey team lacked both the funds and the profile enjoyed by their soccer counterparts, despite a history of success. The Americans have reached the podium at each of the five Olympics at which women’s hockey was contested. The United States won the silver medal at the past two Winter Games and is the only nation besides Canada to win Olympic gold.
The United States has competed in every world championship tournament since the first in 1990 and has bested Canada in the gold medal game at both world championships since the Sochi Olympics.
With its tournament opener slated for Friday, the American squad missed its entire scheduled training camp. Other teams, meanwhile, participated in their regular practices to prepare for the world championships. The Canadian squad, the four-time Olympic champs, wrapped up practices on Monday and were headed to Michigan, not certain whether they’d even have a first-round opponent.
Monday’s letter from Senate Democrats to USA Hockey noted that members of the women’s national team “deserve fairness and respect.”
“We are disturbed by reports from the U.S. Women’s National Hockey Team suggesting that USA Hockey is not providing ‘equitable support’ to female athletes,” the senators wrote.
The women’s players had also been buoyed by messages of support from across the sports world in recent days. Some have suggested the men’s team would similarly boycott its world championships, which is scheduled for May, in solidarity. Last week all four major sports unions issued statements of support, and a wide range of athletes, such as soccer star Abby Wambach and basketball players Sue Bird and Brittney Griner, have voiced their support on social media.
In their letter Monday, the senators noted that the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act requires USA Hockey to “be responsible to the people and amateur sports organizations it represents.”
“These elite athletes indeed deserve fairness and respect, and we hope you will be a leader on this issue as women continue to push for equality in athletics,” the senators wrote.

Title of the public consultation: Public Consultation: Construction and Demolition Waste Strategy for Malta, 2020-2025 – Managing Construction & Demolition Resources
Ministry: Ministry for Environment, Sustainable Development and Climate Change
Entity: Environment & Resources Authority
Recent data shows that the construction industry has experienced a considerable increase in activity over recent years. This is resulting in increased mineral extraction and waste generation. To date, there is a reliance to dispose of waste from such activities.
In this context, the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA), in collaboration with the Ministry for Environment, Sustainable Development and Climate Change has prepared a national strategy for the management of waste originating from construction, demolition and excavation operations. This document is entitled “Construction and Demolition Waste Strategy for Malta, 2020-2025 – Managing Construction & Demolition Resources.”
The draft strategy is in line with the European Union’s Circular Economy policy. The aim of the strategy is to identify options for the management of waste arising from construction, demolition and excavation activities. To achieve this, a number of short-term and longterm measures are included.
The objectives of this strategy are to increase re-use and recycling of waste generated from construction, demolition and excavation activities, thereby reducing backfilling.
The public is invited to submit any feedback or comments on the objectives and measures of this strategy.
Construction and Demolition Waste Strategy for Malta, 2020-2025 – Managing Construction & Demolition Resources

Agtech start-up Pairwise has secured $90 million in a Series B funding round, as it looks to develop and bring genetically enhanced produce to North America.
Pairwise aims to build a healthier, more sustainable world by combining its gene-editing capabilities, crop science expertise and data technique to cultivate better fruits and vegetables.
The round was led by capital investor Pontifax AgTech and existing investor Deerfield Management, while Temasek and Leaps by Bayer also joined the round.
Through addressing challenges with flavours, shelf life and availability, Pairwise aims to boost fresh produce consumption. Using its CRISPR technology, the company is working on cultivating better fruits and vegetables varieties, which have improved taste, enhanced convenience, increased shelf life, improved yield, simplified harvesting and lengthened season availability.
The US start-up is currently developing new types of leafy green, berries and cherries and expects to launch its first gene-edited produce by 2022.
“People see innovation all around them, except in the produce aisle. We will give consumers new options that make healthy eating easier and more exciting,” said Pairwise CEO Tom Adams.
“With this additional funding from industry-leading investors, Pairwise is taking a bold step toward achieving our mission of building a healthier world,” he added.
The funding follows Pairwise’s $25 million Series A round back in March 2018, which was led by Deerfield and what is now called Leaps by Bayer, to develop its gene editing platform and product portfolio. At the same time, the company announced a $100 million ongoing collaboration with Bayer Crop Science to advance gene editing tools in corn, soybeans, wheat and canola.
Pontifax AgTech co-founder and managing partner, Ben Belldegrun, said: “Our investment in Pairwise reflects our thematic focus on the convergence of biotechnology and agriculture and the use of CRISPR technology to improve health and nutrition in food and agriculture.
“We believe that the combination of Pairwise’s gene editing platform, plant breeding expertise, and consumer food understanding creates a powerful engine that will be a game changer.”
In less than three years, Pairwise has grown to 100 team members across two locations in Durham, North Carolina, with additional growth anticipated for 2021.

Schubert could write great melodies and he had a real affinity for the voice so one might expect him to have been successful when he turned his hand to opera. He wasn’t with Fierrabras which wasn’t performed until decades after his death and has been revived seldom since, most recently at Salzburg in 2014 where it was recorded. It’s easy to see why. The libretto is awful and even if the music were really amazing, which it isn’t but more of that later, I doubt it would have made much impact.
Schubert’s Winterreise is sometimes described as the Everest of lieder singing and, as such, is something of a rite of passage for baritones. It’s much rarer to hear it sung by a soprano but today, on a day when there was more snow in Toronto than one encounters these days on the Hillary step, Adrianne Pieczonka, accompanied by Rachel Andrist, offered it up in the intimate Mazzoleni Hall. It took me two or three songs to get into it. The colours of the soprano voice are so not baritonal that the music sounded unfamiliar and disconcerting. By Der Lindenbaum though I was won over. Here was singing of a limpid beauty few baritones could match and from then on I was revelling in the new perspectives that hearing a soprano sing this music brings. I think it was greatly helped by Adrianne’s approach which definitely favoured bringing out the drama and the emotion of the text rather than wallowing in beautiful tone. That was there when she wanted it but there was much else besides. It was an emotional roller coaster from the (relative) optimism of Die Post through to the devastating last couple of numbers. By the end of Der Leiermann I was a puddle but possibly not quite as damp and deep as the critic sitting next to me (whatever Twitter might report). Rachel’s work at the piano was equally illuminating. This is a show they need to take to a much larger audience.
Having been tipped off that yesterday’s RBA noon concert was to be a vocal recital rather than, as previously billed, a chamber concert I made the trip through the snow to catch it. Three of the Royal Conservatory’s Rebanks fellows were singing with Helen Becqué at the piano and assorted staff and alumni added for the final number. Attendance was a bit sparse perhaps unsurprisingly given the weather and the evident confusion. That was a shame because it was an interesting, varied and well presented concert combining well known works with some much less well known fare.
Lineage, performed last night at the Heliconian Club, is the latest show from Adanya Dunn, Brad Cherwin and Alice Hwang who brought usEvolving Symmetry in September. Lineage featured German music from Schubert to Rihm so much more in my sweet spot than the French theme of the earlier show. It was intriguingly constructed with three sets each of a pieces from Mendelssohn’s Lieder Ohne Worte and a Rihm song setting. In between we got first Berg and then Webern, Schoenberg and Schubert. It sounds bizarrely eclectic but the contrast between quite experimental pieces and more obviously accessible fare was very satisfying. Also the sense that there is both a thematic unity and a tendency to experiment in a lot of German music regardless of period.
Chelsea Rus is a recent graduate of the Schulich Scool of Music at McGill University and winner of the Wirth Vocal prize. Today, along with pianist Marie-Ève Scarfone, she gave a recital in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre. I like that it was all song bar the opening number; “Je veux vivre” from Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. Hearing young singers belt out the same few Mozart and bel canto standards gets a bit tedious. Anyway this was one of those recitals that started quite well and just got better as things progressed. Poulenc’s Fiançailles pour rire are, I suppose, a bit of fluff but they allowed Chelsea to show off a rather lovely middle voice and good French diction, though the registers are still not fully integrated. Even better was Liszt’s Oh! quand je dors. Here she showed just how expressive she can be.
American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, 2013 winner of Cardiff Singer of the Year, sang at Koerner Hall last night with veteran Bradley Moore at the piano. Her first set; Joaquin Turina’s Homenaje a Lope de Vega gave us a pretty good idea of the basic value proposition. She has a fantastic instrument. There is power to burn, a pleasing dark tone, accuracy and musicianship. She never sounded remotely strained even while pushing out a very impressive sound. The rest of her first half programme; Chausson’s Three Melodies and four of Schubert’s Goethe settings showed that there was more than just a big accurate voice. Basically, it’s all there. She can vary colours and scale vibrato up and down. There’s some agility. She can float quiet high notes and she can tell a story. Her diction was clear in all three languages. I would say at this point the only question mark I had was around her ability to engage the audience. If I were to judge by the very highest standards, and I’m think Bryn Terfel or Karita Mattila, there was something just the merest shade cold and technical. The second half would see whether she could, as it were , lighten up a bit.
The Academy Program is an important part of the Toronto Summer Music Festival. It allows selected young artists; singers, collaborative pianists and chamber/orchestral musicians, to work with experienced professionals in an intensive series of coachings, masterclasses etc culminating in a concert series. This year the mentors for the vocal/collaborative piano component were pianist Craig Rutenberg, who has worked everywhere and with everybody, and mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke; a last minute replacement for an indisposed Anne Schwannewilms. I didn’t make it to any of the masterclasses, though word on the street is that they were exceptional, but I did make it to yesterday’s lunchtime concert in Walter Hall.

A trial before Supreme Court judge Justice Christopher Beale heard Abdullah El Nasher, 32, and Osamma Allouche, 28, are accused of murder and attempted murder over the violence.
The prosecution alleges Togiai and Bchinnati were shot as they left the venue, as part of an agreement made between El Nasher, of Port Melbourne, and Allouche, of Coburg, to kill or seriously injure people who had been sitting on a nearby ticketed table.
Crown prosecutor Sarah Thomas told the jury El Nasher spent that morning with Allouche at an Epping smash repair business before returning to his Port Melbourne home.
About 6.40pm, she said, El Nasher received a photograph from girlfriend Brittany McGuire showing him she had eight tickets to a boxing match that night.
The image, Thomas said, featured the names of those fighting, including Khaled Baker, who at the time was sponsored by Bchinnati’s construction company.
“The prosecution allege [El Nasher] was aware Bchinnati or his associates would be there,” Thomas said.
She said El Nasher arrived at the Racecourse Road venue first, sitting at table 28 with a group of others about 8pm before turning off his mobile phone, allegedly to prevent it being tracked throughout the night.
Thomas said El Nasher briefly left about 30 minutes later and returned with a black satchel. Police allege that inside was a gun.
Sitting on table 64 nearby were patrons including Togiai and Bchinnati.
About 8.30pm, Thomas said, El Nasher allegedly texted Allouche from another person’s phone to “bring my little friend with you”.
The prosecution allege this was a reference to Allouche bringing another firearm to the boxing match.
“I’m on my way,” Allouche replied at 9.08pm.
Soon after, El Nasher allegedly made a throat-cutting gesture towards the men sitting on table 64 before walking outside to meet Allouche, who arrived shortly before 9.30pm. “The prosecution allege … Mr Allouche was armed with a firearm when he arrived at the venue,” Thomas said. “He knew there was going to be a shooting.”
The two accused men were captured on CCTV leaving the venue shortly before the two tables were ejected from the venue about 10pm.
“The prosecution alleges that Mr El Nasher planned to approach the venue … and shoot a person or people from table 64 at that point,” Thomas said. “Mr Allouche understood this was going to take place and that other men from the table knew this was going to take place.”
Once people from table 64 were outside the venue, El Nasher allegedly fired seven .25 automatic colt bullets and Allouche one. Togiai was fatally shot in the chest. Bchinnati was shot as he ran back through the crowd towards the door of the pavilion, and was later found in the venue’s kitchen.
Footage played to the jury on Wednesday included dash-cam images from a car driving past the venue when gunshots were heard.
El Nasher’s defence barrister, Damian Sheales, said while his client admitted to having a gun and firing shots, he disputed that they were the rounds that struck Togiai or Bchinnati.
Allouche’s barrister, John Desmond, said his client also admitted he fired his gun, one shot into the footpath, but maintained he was acting in defence of himself and others.
He also argued that at no point was Allouche part of any plan to shoot or kill anybody.
Both men have pleaded not guilty. The trial continues.

- Brands like Chick-Fil-A and Geico are being accused of violating 1980s privacy law the VPPA.
- Companies that use online tracking codes like Meta Pixel or Google Analytics are potentially at risk.
- It can cost companies millions of dollars to resolve these cases.
Broadcasters have long been wary of running afoul of a 1988 privacy law called the Video Privacy Protection Act that went into effect after the video rental history of then-Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork was leaked to a newspaper. The law allows a "customer" to sue a "video tape service provider" that has knowingly disclosed their personal information that links them to requested or obtained video materials.
Recently, VPPA has been wielded against a new group of companies: advertisers who post marketing videos on their websites. Since November last year, brands as diverse as Hallmark, Folgers, Mattel, Chick-Fil-A, General Mills, Mars, La-Z-Boy, Geico, and Fossil have faced lawsuits accusing them of VPPA violations.
These new lawsuits have argued that those websites use tracking technologies like Meta's Pixel or Google Analytics to knowingly pass personal information about their video viewers to third-parties.
General Mills declined to comment. The other companies did not respond to a request for comment.
Scott Ferrell, founder of Pacific Trial Attorneys, which is the law firm representing the plaintiffs in many of those cases, declined to comment.
In a previous lawsuit against Hulu, a court had ruled that the online streamer is a "video tape service provider," but the recent cases against non-broadcasters are pushing that definition to include brands that host marketing videos on their sites.
The stakes are potentially high for website owners. Plaintiffs can recover $2,500 in damages in a successful VPPA case — which can add up to several thousands or even millions in a large class action suit.
Even settlements are costly. In July, the streaming sports broadcaster FloSports agreed to pay $2.6 million to resolve a class action lawsuit that accused it of violating VPPA, according to the trade pub Law360.
Some of these early tests to see whether non-broadcasters are susceptible to VPPA violations have already been tossed by the courts for a variety of reasons. In June, a VPPA lawsuit against Folger's parent J.M. Smucker was dismissed, according to court documents, because the California-based District Court didn't have the power to render a judgment affecting the Virginia-based plaintiff Keith Carroll. The court was not swayed after a California-based plaintiff named Rebeka Rodriguez was added to the complaint.
In early September, a lawsuit against General Mills was dismissed because the court ruled that the food manufacturer is not a "video tape service provider," court documents show.
"We have noticed that the pace of new complaints has slowed down and we expect that trend to continue as more adverse decisions come out," said a law firm source familiar with VPPA cases.
But these dismissals don't completely neutralize the threat of VPPA lawsuits. "Some defendants have escaped on motions to dismiss, but many courts have permitted the claims to proceed, which has signaled to the plaintiffs' bar that there may be gold in these hills, spurring more litigation," said Melissa Fox, counsel at the law firm Eversheds Sutherland.
At least 70 VPPA class action lawsuits have been filed in the past year, according to Bloomberg Law.
Ironically, law firms and consumer groups looking to file VPPA lawsuits have been using Meta's own ad platforms to encourage users to join class actions. Using the Meta Ads Library, Insider identified ads from Classaction.org, a page called Consumers Protection Law, and the law firm Labaton Sucharow LLP encouraging Facebook and Instagram users to join class actions against AMC, Us Magazine, Coursera, Corepower Yoga, GameStop, and Disney+.
With seemingly any company at risk of being hit with a similar suit, there are some ways brands can protect themselves. Experts said companies can remove tracking technologies from their pages, reconfigure those technologies so they obfuscate information about the video or the individual user, or they can obtain VPPA-compliant consent for the use of trackers.
IRIS.TV for instance has a solution that anonymizes content, so specific shows can't be linked to individual viewers. The company's CEO Field Garthwaite is working with law firms to see if it could insulate companies from the fallout of VPPA lawsuits.
"It's being explored as a legal means to protect against damages," Garthwaite said. "It won't keep people from filing these lawsuits, but you can limit the damages."
The best way to mitigate risk under the VPPA is to secure consent from users prior to disclosing any information — including through pixels, analytics tools and other technology — regarding pre-recorded videos that the user watched, said Fox.
To be sure, leveraging the VPPA isn't the only way for plaintiffs to file privacy-related lawsuits.
"The VPPA is just another tool in the class action toolbox to attack web tracking from every possible angle," said Julie Rubash, chief privacy counsel at the privacy technology platform Sourcepoint. "I expect this trend to continue and likely speed up."
Disclosure: Insider is in the midst of a VPPA lawsuit currently proceeding in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

As we welcome WILDERNESS back home from their first-ever trek over the UK and Europe where they played with LIARS, BLACK DICE and DEERHOOF, Jagjaguwar is proud to announce that “Vessel States”, Wilderness’ second full-length, is finally here.
For those of you who are just now getting to know who Wilderness are, they are an unconventional band from Baltimore, Maryland, whose apparent musical pedigree stems from the likes of the Fall, This Heat, Savage Republic, Public Image Limited and Joy Division — without sounding like any of them. Their music is every bit as spiritual as it is visceral, as nuanced as it is overt, and as communal and all-embracing as it is culturally alienating and nihilistic. The music-art of Wilderness attempts to glide above definitions or categorizations, especially those that are self-serving or manipulative.
The four comrades that comprise WILDERNESS will be setting sail once again in April and May. Their cross-hair is set on North America as they tour with PARTS & LABOR.

I've had this post on my heart for a while. And it seems that life has been hairy and crazy and busy and full. And where is the Holy minute to write? And then the unholy explodes into our lives and we wonder, do we even have a right to feel hopeful?
I've pondered this. A lot. And perhaps my delay has not been an accident. Because I believe the most radical thing we can do in the face of the unholy is to be children of Holy Light, those who shine in the darkness regardless.
So this Hope and Joy does not shrink back from the darkness that rages against the Light. Instead the Spirit whispers--shine more . . . .
I've spent two years walking through my own sadness, grief and loss. It seems one morning, I'm not sure exactly which one, I woke up happy. For two years I could not honestly say that about myself: happy. But now, today, I am.
I look outside and see everything coming to life again. And I think--That's me! I'm coming to life again! I am hopeful and joyful and not the kind that holds fiercely to God's Promise of Hope with blind faith because nothing feels hopeful and joyful. Not the kind of joy that holds hands with sorrow. I'm so grateful for that kind, because it kept my feet moving when I thought I would die. But this Joy and Hope I feel are alive, bourgeoning within me, spilling out in creativity that is teeming with color and beauty and NEW LIFE.
I know it is just a matter of time.
Before what is inside of me will be visible on the outside of me, birthed into reality.
I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!
The last two weeks we have been talking about Creation in Chapel with the pre-schoolers. I even made up a song to help us remember all that God did when He created the world--"On the first day of creation my True Love gave to me, Light to make our darkness bright." I just got it this morning that to live in the flow of Creative Energy, to release it into existence, to take that thing that inspires you and give it expression in the real world, is to truly participate in God's Holy Order, to bring forth His Kingdom, to not only live as a child of the Light but to walk in the Light. To give expression to God's Creative Purposes for our own lives is the most darkness-shattering thing we can ever do. Because to live in creative Joy is to truly be Fearless.
I have lived in fear for far too long. Dwelling for far too long in shadows, hiding my quirky self from the world, because I am just too different from anything else I've ever seen. What was He thinking when He made me?! And why, oh why, oh why, oh why Father would you make me like this?! I have often felt like that tiny purple flower in the middle of a sea of green, so small and fragile. Difficult to be seen. Impossible to take seriously. And I have asked the Lord so many times, "why didn't You just make me another blade of grass? My life would have been so much simpler.
For the first time maybe, I am so glad I am what I am.
And I believe that soon I will see God's purpose for me revealed.
And that gives me tremendous Hope and impossible Joy.

In the mid-1930s, as international tensions mounted, it was becoming apparent that there was money to be made in building fighter aircraft. As a result, all sorts of companies were exploring getting into the industry which obviously had a lot of growth potential
One of these company’s was Montreal-based Canadian Car & Foundry – CC&F for short. This company primarily built railroad equipment and rolling stock, but with plenty of resources and engineering experience on hand, they decided to have a go at getting into the fighter market.
If you’ve read my article on the Grumman FF-1, you’ll know that the first aircraft that they built was a licenced version of that, which they sold in small quantities.
One of the issues faced by CC&F with the FF-1 fighter was that they needed the permission of Grumman, and therefore by extension the government of the United States, to sell to foreign clients. This proved a major impediment to sales.
What CC&F wanted was their own design – all Canadian – that they could both impress the Canadian government with and sell abroad unhindered. In 1937 they hired a new designer to head their aircraft development and construction team.
Michael Gregor (his anglicized name) was a hugely experienced aviator and aircraft designer.
Born in Russia in 1888, Gregor had been a pioneer of Russian aviation, being one of the first pilots in the country in 1911. He had then helped found the first Russian aircraft and propeller factories, served in World War One and then came to the United States in 1921. Naturalizing as a US citizen, he had worked for a host of aviation companies, including Curtiss-Wright and Seversky, as well as building his own light aircraft for sale.
For CC&F, he seemed the perfect man – hugely knowledgeable in aircraft design and production, including setting up such facilities from scratch.
And Gregor, based on his extensive experience, knew exactly just what sort of fighter aircraft the Canadians needed.
His design, designated the FDB-1, would be of a monocoque design with a light but strong aluminium alloy skin, which would be flush riveted for maximum aerodynamic effect. It needed a retracting landing gear, again for reducing drag and improving performance. For the same reason and the engine needed a well-designed cowling. The cockpit should be enclosed and glazed, with a good view for the pilot above and behind the aircraft.
Structurally, the aircraft would need to be extremely strong, designed to endure well beyond its expected limits in G-forces. This would be especially important not just for aerial combat, but also because the new aircraft should also be capable of dive bombing.
Gregor was envisioning a very interesting concept, a modern, multirole aircraft that utilized the very latest in technology, something arguably way ahead of its time.
Oh, and it needed to be a biplane.
Gregor, admittedly a very experienced pilot and designer, was very much of the opinion that the new-fangled monoplanes were little more than a fad, and that the future of fighters lay in the biplane. He is reputed to have said:
“They’ll start this war with monoplanes, but they’ll finish it with biplanes.”
Sticking to this point, he built exactly that, and in a remarkably short timeframe, to his and his team’s credit. From the start of construction to the prototype flying was achieved in a rather remarkable eight months.The FDB-1 was a tight little aircraft that used all the innovations that Gregor saw as the future… combined with a gull-wing biplane configuration.
Armament was expected to be two .50 calibre heavy machine guns mounted in the fuselage and synchronized to fire through the propeller arc. Additionally, a payload of two 116lb bombs would be carried for the afore-mentioned dive bombing.
The prototype was fitted with a Pratt & Whitney R-1535 9-cylinder air-cooled radial engine which developed 700 hp. It was in this configuration that the aircraft was tested by the Royal Canadian Air Force, who reported that the aircraft had a top speed of 261 mph.
This would seem pretty good, except for two important factors.
Firstly, the prototype was unarmed, unarmoured and missing all the equipment that would be considered critical in a front-line fighter. The RCAF stated that any actual combat model would no doubt have much lower performance.
The second factor is this was all taking place in December 1938.
Now, to be fair, if Gregor had begun development in 1935, maybe even 1936, he might have been on to something. After all, the Royal Air Force had only started getting the Gloster Gladiator, a biplane fighter, into service just over a year-and-a-half before.
But that time represented a quantum leap in aeronautics.
As the FDB-1 was being tested, the Supermarine Spitfire was already entering squadron service with the RAF – and that had a top speed 100mph faster than the FDB-1!
Gregor and CC&F may – and that’s a provisional may, mind – have built a great biplane fighter. They just built it three years too late. In fact, it’s rather baffling that they actually did it at all.
Plus, not only was it thoroughly obsolete, the FDB-1 also had some issues, with the test pilot reporting that he was “blind as hell” trying to fly the aircraft due to the wing configuration.
Of course, Gregor was nothing daunted and apparently got very excited when during a mock dogfight with RCAF Hurricanes his little biplane proved able to outmanoeuvre the modern fighter at lower altitudes.
The RCAF were not impressed, again pointing out that the Hurricane was a fully equipped fighter, the FDB-1 was not. Gregor continued to develop the aircraft and started planning to fit a Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp engine that produced 1,200hp, but this seems to have petered out.
One suspects that the main motivator for this was that about this time – 1939 – CC&F won a contract to build Hurricanes for the RCAF and therefore really had no need for the unwanted little biplane anymore.
A final attempt to publicise the FDB-1 was made in 1940 when it was entered in the New York-Miami air race. But the aircraft lost oil pressure soon after take-off and thus had to pull out.
The Mexicans apparently considered buying the type, but that came to nothing, and the single example of the FDB-1 puttered around as a courier aircraft for a bit before being put into storage.
In 1945 it was destroyed in a hanger fire.
And that was the end of one of the most out-of-touch aircraft to have ever been built.
