Scott Free has been composing and performing music for decades. He was inducted into the City of Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 2010 for his political work. Scott runs a queer Indie Radio Station Alt Q Radio. The new record Songs to Fight Oppression is a collection of protest songs. If you’ve protested in the US in the last 3 decades, some of these will be familiar to you.
Singing or chanting in protest is as old as protest itself. Singing as a group is uplifting and creates connection in the group. Affirming clear messages of intent, communicating with passers by and with The Powers That Be is part of the reason for protest. On this record the chants have been fleshed out with instruments and choral arrangements. Next time you’re protesting in the street, bring these chants with you!

Derek Vanderhorst is probably someone you’ve never heard of, but if you watch movies you have heard his work as a Sound Engineer/Designer/Mixer in films like Hidden Figures, No Country for Old Men, Terminator: Dark Fate, and many more.
Derek experienced a life threatening health crisis a few years ago, which he faced full-on, and it transformed his life. Now he is writing songs every day, he has released his first album called Wildflower, and is working on his second album.
In their conversation Derek and Baruch cover a lot of ground, from healing to societal challenges, and of course music!

Silent films traditionally have live musicians playing along with the film. Alicia Svigals and Donald Sosin have been working together creating music and performing along with silent films depicting the plight of Jews in Europe in the early 20th Century. The three films they have scored so far are City Without Jews, The Ancient Law, and Man Without A World.
Alicia Svigals is a mover and shaker in the Klezmer revival movement. Donald Sosin has been creating music, including but not limited to music for silent movies for many years. They met at a film festival in Italy and since then have been composing and playing for these historical films.
Silent films are their own art form. The role the music plays is very different than in “talkies.” If you’ve never experienced a silent film, it’s a lot of fun, and may surprise you with the artistry and effectiveness.
The conversation explores Alicia and Donald’s inspirations, and examines why these films are important now.

This episode focuses on discussion of the following:
“Earth is an integrated system of life. If we accept that premise then we must see ourselves as part of that web of life forms, all, ultimately, interdependent. With that in mind, how do we address the current state of humanity on Earth? What are the challenges humanity faces and how can we meet them successfully (sustainably) with respect to the interdependence of all life on Earth? What do the humans need to do differently and what are paths to those changes?”
Starhawk, Amani Will, Debbie Aung Din, & Phil Kosdan share ideas and examine priorities in response to the question. And of course there is great music!

He is still playing fretless bass, but now you’re just as likely to see him playing an acoustic guitar. Freebo has 5 solo albums and plays on many many records as part of the band. He is currently producing Alice Howe‘s new record Circumstance which drops April 21, 2023. He’s also finishing up a new album of his own, coming soon!

Christopher Briscoe has been taking photographs for most of his life and has published a number of books of photos. The new book is The Child on the Train: And Other Stories in War-Torn Ukraine, photos taken during Chris’s journey to Ukraine a few weeks after the Russian invasion in 2022. The photos and accompanying writing tell bits of stories of some of the people enduring this latest atrocity.“Christopher Briscoe’s photographs have appeared on Oprah, Larry King Live, and Entertainment Tonight. They have been printed in international publications including The Times (London), USA Today, People, Time magazine, and Paris Match. He photographs cultural icons – President Mikhail Gorbachev, producer-director Steven Spielberg, actor Michael Douglas, among others. Briscoe is driven to uncover the common threads that bind us all – from Bourbon Street to the slums of India to the war in Ukraine. He digs deep, revealing the story behind each image.” – chrisbriscoe.com
