  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 107 MARCH 23RD, 2020 Cover: violinist Jascha Heifetz (1901 - 1987). Many consider him to be the greatest violinist ever. He was one of the most influential performing artists of all time and in his later years became a teacher and an advocate of causes he believed in, including clean air and the establishment of 911 as an emergency phone number. Stay safe. Be careful out there. Maintain social distancing. Wash your hands frequently. Familiar phrases in these tough times. To those I’d add: listen to music. Read a book or magazine. Watch a movie. Play your instrument. Surf the web. Don’t let the endless barrage of TV news make you crazy. Ignore (except to debunk) misinformation on Facebook and social media. Call or video chat with a family member, friend or loved one. Though we may be temporarily separated, we’re all in this together and we’ll help each other stay strong. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson gives us incisive looks into two of the modern era’s greatest artists: Frank Sinatra and the Kinks! John Seetoo contributes his CanJam NYC 2020 Part Two report. J.I. Agnew continues his series on linearity in audio, with clear explanations of this technical topic. Tom Gibbs gives unrestrained opinions on Brandy Clark, King Crimson, Charlie Parker and Tame Impala. Professor Larry Schenbeck enthuses about Sanctuary Road, a new oratorio. Dan Schwartz asks: why don’t musicians use audiophile speakers? Veteran broadcaster Bob Wood shakes his head over the state of today’s commercial radio. Wayne Robins provides a step by step operating manual for Miss Anthropocene by Grimes.

    All (Washed) Hands on Deck: How to Help Yourself & Others Right Now with Dr. Mike Wells Ologies Podcast March 21, 2020 Oh heey, it’s your fig tree, just waitin’ in the yard to see how many leaves it has to sprout and unfurl before you stop and say, “Oh look! The fig tree has leaves!” - Alie Ward, back with a bonus episode of Ologies. Did I think I was making this episode 2 days ago? No? No. But sometimes you see a tweet and you say, “Boy howdy, let’s get this human on the horn.” Pass the mic and spread the word. So, the March 10th Virology episode was recorded on March 5th… A LOT has happened in the last few weeks, I don’t know if you’ve noticed. So, I added an update before the intro to that episode but I’m going to read it here too. Virologist Dr. Shannon Bennett wrote me on March 17th and let me know: Daily new confirmed cases are growing in number exponentially here in the US, and that is in light of one of the lowest per-capita testing rates worldwide by country; 26 tests per million people, as of March 10th. That means that even though we all recognize that confirmed cases are just the tip of the iceberg of the actual infections, in the US our iceberg is particularly submerged. In short, it’s time to take social distancing seriously and flatten the curve. So that was an update from Dr. Shannon Bennett of the virology episode.

  • LT302 Writing for the Anthropocene
    LT302 Writing for the Anthropocene Seminar Leader: Andreas Martin Widmann Email: [email protected] Course Times: Monday & Wednesday 2 - 3:30pm Office Hours: Wednesday, after class, or by appointment Course Description This course examines literature by looking at connections between writing and ecology in the “Anthropocene” – a term advanced by the Dutch Nobel-Prize winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen. Throughout the semester, we will be investigating how literary texts can suggest new ways for thinking about nature, ecology and environmental issues, notably climate change and extinction. We trace the theoretical approach of “ecocriticism” through seminal works like Lawrence Buell’s The Environmental Imagination (1996) and Ursula Heise’s Sense of Place and Sense of Planet (2008). We will then consider the question of the role of literature in reflecting on the Anthropocene or human-made geological epoch, including the newly emerging literary genre of climate fiction (CliFi), and its furthering or incorporation of political criticism and activism. In the latter connection we address works like Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) or Edwards Abbey’s The Monkey Wrench Gang (1975) , T.C. Boyle’s A Friend of the Earth (2000) and Nell Zink’s The Wallcreeper (2014). The course will also pay special attention to the German environmental movement and its literary repercussions, e.g. in former Pankow-resident Christa Wolf’s Chernobyl-memoir Accident. A Day’s News (Störfall. Nachrichten eines Tages, 1987), or more recently, in the ecofeminism of Karen Duve’s The Prepper Room (Macht, 2016). Requirements Students are required to come to class prepared and with the relevant materials and texts, as well as to take part in field-trips to places off-campus.

Driven by an experimental spirit, it beautifully articulates, in multiple voices, our current planetary concerns. The book’s vignettes, embracing a plethora of genres, styles and voices, challenge the reader in her intellectual assumptions and theoretical affinities. The theoretical-writerly ‘compost’ produced as a result of the authors’ joint efforts takes the form of a powerful narrative about the polysemic concept of the ‘atmosphere’ – which stands for breath, vapour, weather, climate, sensation, affect and relationality. Inviting the reader into their already crowded conversation, the book becomes a hospitable space for learning how to live with multiple voices, viewpoints and agencies.” Joanna Zylinska, GOLDSMITHS, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON “This collection is simply wonderful.
