A soundtrack for creative minds and people who spread gratitude in a confronting way.
Under their immigration policy for this election, NZ First has proposed removing the right to vote from permanent residents. Surprisingly, New Zealand is one of only four countries in the world who allow their permanent residents to vote. To hear more about why this is the case, and why it should stay that way, Bronwyn spoke to leading electoral law scholar, Professor Andrew Geddis from the University of Otago.
Alicia Frankovich tunes in from Melbourne to speak with Heidi about her performance piece, 'AQI2020', currently showing at The Auckland Art Gallery. She shares her experiences of the insane wildfires that ravaged Australia earlier this year on which this work is based. Alicia's practice has often deconstructed conceptions of bodies, human and non-human, in the process opening up awareness and a sense of possibility about various ways our bodies are less discrete than we tend to take for granted. In line with that, this show has tried to follow threads of connection in the arts practitioners interviewed. Next Natasha Conland takes a call to discuss her role in curating the work for all of us currently stuck in one of the safest Islands in the world right now. And finally, Sophie Sutherland, who is one of the performers in Alicia's piece, tells us about the work from the perspective of a participant. Sophie currently has a show of her own at Audio Foundation, titled 'Ball Park', which runs until the 31st of Whiringa-aa-Nuku, October.
Heidi talks to Huriana Koopeke Te Aho about their large-scale work 'Tuuhonotanga' on the Ellen Melville centre. Huriana's work operates in a context of activism around various issues of social justice as well as affirming ways to consider knowledge, and we discuss their journey in finding the integration of Takataapuitanga with Te Ao Maaori. Next Imogen Taylor takes a call to talk about 'Thirsty Work' at Michael Lett. We discuss future directions and the divides between framing a painterly practice and accessing the less tangible operations that it works with. Theo interviews Ivan Lupi about the durational workshop at The Audio Foundation, 'Not as Simple as it sounds', in which they bring up scales of time in addressing trauma.
If Universal Harmony materialised, it would come to life as a silky life form ready to climb into your ears and soothe your soul from the inside-out. Listen to this episode and let it take over.
Featuring friend segments; the Sound of Sydney with good mate Carlos Avilés and Higher Porpoise from our pal Jon Bernais.

Ep. 270 w/ a Teeth Clippers Takeover, with mixes from Emanuel and Cal.Ske.
Emanuel got a schooling in sound-system culture while living in London for two years. On his return home to Pōneke, he founded Teethclippers via a residency at Club 121. Now, with the release of the Don't Bite Your Tongue compilation, the project has grown into a fully-fledged label as well. That compilation features 14 tracks by key NZ producers like Eden Burns, KÉDU CARLÖ, Azure, and Peach Milk, with all proceeds to the Mental Health Foundation. Tonight, Emanuel channels the energy of postponed nights into a heavy, heavy mix. After that, Tāmaki DJ and future TC guest Cal.Ske (Glass Half Full) weaves his way from house through dubstep to footwork. Hit that bass boost button bb.
