Subpop Last year marked a four-decade anniversary since William Gibson’s cyberpunk classic Neuromancer, with its frenzied neologisms, infected our thinking about digital culture. Album Dead Channel Sky by LA experimental rap shapeshifters Clipping comes as a delayed present.

South London-based dancer, producer and choreographer Bianca Scout likes switching characters. While last year’s album Pattern Damage saw her as a ballerina trapped in time, haunted by the joy and trauma of her discipline; the new album Now You See Me, Now You Don’t (under the name Marina Zispin, in a duo with Martyn Reid), is suited for goth ravers with a dark heart.

Wojciech Rusin is an artist intent on introducing cracks into our carefully-built image of the medieval world. For some five years now, the Bristol-based Polish-born composer, sound artist and instrument builder has been working on a loose “alchemical trilogy”, fabricating new dark age soundscapes with his own invented pipes and whistles. Honey for the Ants marks the culmination of that cycle.

Občanské parlamenty a shromáždění jsou hojně využívané nástroje k zapojení občanů do politiky. Ačkoli terminologie může být občas matoucí a tyto experimenty s demokracií bývají nazývány různě, některé principy jsou univerzální. Databáze deliberativní demokracie (Deliberative Democracy Database) organizace OECD, která zmapovala tyto (a podobné) iniciativy mezi lety 1973 a 2023, čítá více než 700 příkladů.

Making music and receiving publicity at a young age can put you in a box. Breaking that cage, pushing your new image and sound to the forefront, can be tough. Björk knows it best, as she underwent this transformation several times, when she needed to escape the image of a child singer from the cover of her 1977 album with bands like Sugarcubes or Kukl, then by releasing a post-jazz album to distance herself from bands, only to navigate the way to her 1993 Debut.

“The music seeped through mutual understanding. It was a result of being together,” muses Vojtěch Havel in the 1992 poetic film portrait Vojtěch & Irena H.. “We sit, start to play, and feel a profound, absolute connection.” In the short movie, they finish each other’s sentences, and the word “understanding” reoccurs often when talk turns to his shared project with his wife.

Například anglická kapela Slowdive nikdy nebyla populárnější než dnes a do tohoto momentu zapadá také letošní koncertní návrat pražské sestavy Ecstasy of St. Theresa, která turné po letních festivalech završila uplynulý víkend dvěma vyprodanými večery 15. a 16. listopadu v pražském Paláci Akropolis. Po letech tam lidé mohli slyšet českou kapelu, která to v 90. letech dotáhla až do vysílání BBC a získala smlouvu na vydávání desek u britské firmy.
