Quarterly Essay 15: Latham's World: The New Politics of the Outsiders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min
In the third Quarterly Essay of 2004, Margaret Simons takes a long hard look at Mark Latham, the self-proclaimed "club buster" and the man who would be prime minister. Few doubt Latham's intelligence and ambition, but what will this amount to in government? Simons argues that if Labor is elected, it will not be "business as usual". Rather we can expect a reformist government in the spirit - if not the letter - of Latham's political tutor, Gough Whitlam. It is also likely to be a government that has little time for the totemic issues of the Labor elites. This is an essay that takes the political pulse of the nation - it is clear-eyed, probing, anchored in observation and an original analysis of the political state of play. It ventures into the murky world of Liverpool Council, where Latham made enemies and ran the show. It reserves harsh words for those in the media who have ignored Latham's ideas and community campaigning in favour of rumour-mongering. Above all, it reveals Latham as a conviction politician and an acute thinker, with a prescient understanding of how the urban fringe now drives the politics of the nation. ungekürzt.

Bowland Beth: The Life of an English Hen Harrier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
The story of the short life and tragic death of Bowland Beth - an English hen harrier - which dramatically highlights the major issues in UK conservation. 'The sun was blood red as it broke the horizon and lit the communal roost where the female hen harrier had spent the night. She watched the other harriers as they left to go foraging for food out on the moor. She didn't join them, for she had felt a quickening in her body, an urge to move to Mallowdale Pike, a rocky crag from where she had fledged nine months ago. After preening, she lifted off from the roost and soared up over the fell.' David Cobham enters Beth's world to show what being a hen harrier today is like. He immerses himself not only in the day-to-day regimen of her life, the hours of hunting, bathing, keeping her plumage in order and roosting, but also the fear of living in an environment run to provide packs of driven grouse for a few wealthy sportsmen to shoot. The hen harrier is seen as a totemic species in the battle between the conservationists and ruralists, and, as one of the key players in this emotive debate, David Cobham is uniquely placed to reflect on Beth's story. In this powerful narrative, he provides us with a profound tale which helps to illuminate the larger implications of the species' decline, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts to reverse this. ungekürzt.

Boyz N the Void: A Mixtape to My Brother
Writing to his brother, G'Ra Asim reflects on building his own identity while navigating Blackness, masculinity, and young adulthood-all through wry social commentary and music/pop culture critique How does one approach Blackness, masculinity, otherness, and the perils of young adulthood? For G'Ra Asim, punk music offers an outlet to express himself freely. As his younger brother, Gyasi, grapples with finding his footing in the world, G'Ra gifts him with a survival guide for tackling the sometimes treacherous cultural terrain particular to being young, Black, brainy, and weird in the form of a mixtape. Boyz n the Void: a mixtape to my brother blends music and cultural criticism and personal essay to explore race, gender, class, and sexuality as they pertain to punk rock and straight edge culture. Using totemic punk rock songs on a mixtape to anchor each chapter, the book documents an intergenerational conversation between a Millennial in his 30s and his zoomer teenage brother. Author, punk musician, and straight edge kid, G'Ra Asim weaves together memoir and cultural commentary, diving into the depths of everything from theory to comic strips, to poetry to pizza commercials to mapping the predicament of the Black creative intellectual. With each chapter dedicated to a particular song and placed within the context of a fraternal bond, Asim presents his brother with a roadmap to self-actualization in the form of a Doc Martened foot to the behind and a sweaty, circle-pit-side-armed hug.

Astraga a Mystical Unity
BA Music Records is a coop of the artists it represents. Sales proceeds go to them directly. Thanks you for your support. ...................................................... ASTRAGAIA, Madjid Khaladj: daf, tombak, zang-e saringoshti, dohol Morteza Esmaili: didgeridoo, jew's harp Mystical Unity The Ghaderi dervishes of Iranian Kurdistan and the Aborigines of Australia are literary a world apart, or more precisely, half a world. The daf, an emblematic frame drum used in dervish and suffi ceremonies, is known and distinguished for it's dozens of suspended metal rings on the inside face of it's frame. The rings brush and strike against the drum's skin as the performer moves the drum in controlled motions while playing on the face of the drum with his hands. The unique sounds from this feature along with the repetitive rhythms performed in religious ceremonies add to the mystical aura. In the dervish fraternities of Kurdistan, as in many Sufi gatherings special zekrs, or sacred mantras, are repeated in chants that have the power to concentrate and then unleash spiritual energy. The repetition of the zekr accompanied by the daf, reverberate in a rhythmic dance, leading to exhilaration in psycho-spiritual parts of the body (e.g. viscera, neck, head). Such dynamic and vivacious motions often lead to ecstasy and sometimes to trance. Similar types of rituals take place in Indigenous Australia, carried by the didgeridoo, a very long hollow tube, ending in a trumpet-like opening, characterized by a fascinating and enigmatic sound. Played with circular breathing, the sounds produced by this instrument symbolize the 'Original Mother.' According to legend, Aborigine songs and melodies come from the spirits and supernatural powers released into the earth by their ancestors, and thus, most of the lyrics have sacred connotations. The association of these two traditional instruments, and their respective origins, opened the door to an exploration and elaboration of the ground these two cultures share. Madjid Khaladj and Morteza Esmaili allow a hereto-unimagined musical space to unfold in an atmosphere spiritually uplifting beyond a complement of their individual worlds. .......... The Instruments: Daf: Much appreciated and developed by the dervishes for use in spiritual performances, the daf is a frame drum that has it's origins in the Middle East and Central Asia. In addition to it's size, it is different from it's closest kin by the chains metal rings that are suspended within the frame. Didgeridoo: The didgeridoo, originally played by Aborigines from Northern Australia, is a natural trumpet, with a long straight body. It is usually made from a branch of a eucalyptus tree, hollowed out by termites. The bark is removed and the ends are trimmed. The method of playing the didgeridoo involves circular breathing and vibrating lips. It is usually between 1 and 1.5 meters and is sometimes decorated with totemic icons and paintings in red ochre or clay. Tombak: This is the main percussion instrument of Persian art music. It's challis shaped body is made of a turned and hollowed-out walnut or mulberry tree trunk with a goatskin stretched across the wide end of the resonator. Jew's harp: Called Zanburak in Iran, the instrument is a lamellophone, which is in the category of plucked idiophones: it consists of a flexible metal or bamboo tongue or reed attached to a frame. The tongue/reed is placed in the performer's mouth and plucked with the finger to produce a note. The frame is held against the performer's teeth or lips, using the jaw and mouth as a resonator, greatly increasing the volume of the instrument. The note thus produced is constant in pitch, though by changing the shape of his or her mouth and the amount of air contained in it the performer can cause different overtones to sound and thus create melodies. Zang-e saringoshti: Brass cymbals pairs attached onto the thumb and the middle finger of each hand. Mainly employed to stress the dance, one finds them particularly omni-present on figurine dancers in Persian miniature paintings of the beginning of the last century. Dohol: A large cylindrical double-ended drum, the dohol is played with two special drumsticks. One is a thick wooden one, bowed close to the end, called Changaal, and the other one, called Deyrak, is a much thinner one. Senj: This is a special type of large diameter brass cymbals, played by striking a pair together. .......... Madjid Khaladj Born in Ghazvin, Iran in 1962, Madjid Khaladj began studying the tombak at age seven. As a traditional musician and skilled pedagogue in several instruments, he is unanimously recognized as a master of Iranian percussions. Highly active internationally, he has perfomed in festivals, concerts, and conferences around the world. He has produced recordings, and art movie soundtracks (with Ry cooder and Lisa Gerrard), and has appeared in radio and television broadcasts. In 1984, he was invited to teach Iranian percussions at the Center for Middle Eastern Music Studies at the Institute of Musicology of Paris- Sorbonne, then under the direction of Yehudi Menuhin. Using this opportunity, he has introduced many western musicians to Iranian music. In 1996, he founded the Ecole de Tombak in Paris (Center for Iranian Percussion Study). Since 1998, he has also been teaching at the State Academy of Music in Basel, Switzerland (Musik Akademie der Stadt Basel in Switzerland). Madjid Khaladj constantly investigates the vast possibilities in improvising within the Persian musical system, and beyond. The unequalled beauty of his style, his mastery of rhythms and the brilliance of his spontaneous creations not only place him in the top ranks next to great classical Persian music masters, but also distinguish him as a major figure in world percussion. Some of Khaladj's most noted works are: Anthology of Iranian Rhythms, Vol. I (1997) & Vol. II (1999), Iranian Percussions (2000), DVD of Tombak (2005), Nafas/ Iranian Art Percussion (2006) and the numerous recordings with masters such as Hossein Alizadeh, Hossein Omoumi, Dariush Talai, M.R. Lotfi and M.R. Shajarian. Morteza Esmaili Born in 1964 in Teheran (Iran), he plays Jews harp since he was 8 years old. With 16 years old, he started to travel all over the world looking for harmonic sounds and traditional & sacred music. During this trip, he came across lots of people and music. In 1992, he was introduced to Didgeridoo where he found what he was looking for: the same harmony as Jews Harp. From 1992 to 1995, Morteza lived in Japan where he tested the mix between electronic sounds and Jews Harp. From 1995, he became more and more interested in Sufi music, having been back to his mother country, Iran, and then to Turkey to meet Sufi communities. In February 1999, he went to Australia to study the story and sound of Didgeridoo where he was adopted by Ramangini Aboriginal community (Arnhem Land). He played with them around the fire in the bush. His foster father, Banbuma Georges, named him Kodjo. In the same year, he came back to France where he founded the 'Harmonic Fusion' Association in order to organize meetings among artists throughout the world. The main one was a concert with different traditional musics and instruments such as Sufi from Turkey and Sudan, Iranian drums, Jews Harp & Didgeridoo (John Wright, Madjid Khaladj, Kudsi Erguner, Sir el Khatm, and Morteza Esmaili). Morteza, versatile musician, took part in several world music events with Australian Aboriginal singers and dancers such as Wayne 'Jowandi' Barker, Stanley Marando, Baven Yunupingu... and recorded with some French bands like Aston Villa, Alain Brunet et Manhu Roche. Convinced by the therapeutic effect of music and sound, he concentrates his efforts on this research. He succeeds to create a traditional music using his instruments as well as modern music by the original tracks and the mix of instruments from various origins. ---------------------------------- Zarb,- Shop: odax
