New CD The Art of the Contrabass Flute

Ned has just released a new recording The Art of the Contrabass Flute. It's available on CD, as a digital download AND on vinyl LP. As Ned describes his new recording: “I'm extra excited about the LP version because the contrabass flute sounds on record like a classic solo by Jimmy Page, although the music is (mostly:) quite different.”  Joining Ned McGowan on the recording are pianist Keiko Shichijo and south Indian percussionist B.C. Manjunath.

New CD Elizabeth Dobbin with Le Jardin Secret, Jean-Baptiste de Bousset: Airs sérieux

Elizabeth has recorded a new CD with Le Jardin Secret, Jean-Baptiste de Bousset: Airs sérieux.Recorded for the specialist Belgian label, Fuga Libera, the CD of airs sérieux for voice and viol consort arrangement, delivered in historic French, represents the culmination of the group’s research into the forgotten repertoire of the prolific Jean-Baptiste Drouard de Bousset (1662-1725).The airs are delivered in historical French, under the generous guidance of Nicole Rouillé.The voice is accompanied by two theorbos and viola da gamba, mirroring the instrumentsfound in Bousset's possession on his death. The seventeenth century was truly a "do-ityourself"time, and to reflect this tradition, Le Jardin Secret has included some of his multi-voice airs inarrangement for viol consort.

The CD represents the culmination of Le Jardin Secret's research into the unjustly forgotten sound-world of Bousset. These miniature jewels are now available to the ears of modern audiences for the first time in 300 years.

Publications by visual artist Jack Segbars
PhDArts candidate and visual artist Jack Segbars has recently published the essay: 'Benjamin in Palestine, On the Task of the Translator in the Age of Platform Production' at Open! Platform for Art, Culture & the Public Domain.
A conference held last year in Palestine reflected on the relevance of Walter Benjamin’s critical responses to oppression, in a place all too familiar with its reality. Here, Jack Segbars considers how and if critical theory now can avoid entrapment by the very target of its critique, and instead realize actual political change. As knowledge production becomes more entangled with artistic production, models – namely that of participatory panel discussions – must be reviewed for their capacity to enact the change they so desire.

Also published by Jack Segbars is the essay: 'Gordiaanse knoop, de langzame mars van de instituties’ at Metropolis M, #5, 2016. In this essay Segbars reflects on the recent turmoil concerning the presentation platforms for the arts in The Netherlands and Belgium and the changed relation of these artistic platforms vis à vis politics.
