Is social media ruining outdoor adventuring?
BODY:
Devon O'Neill of Outside magazine has been exploring some of the tensions in the outdoor community between old school adventurers, and a new breed of more tech savvy explorer.
EXTENDED BODY:
Today's outdoor veterans are competing for sponsors with a new breed of tech-savvy adventurers who can offer carefully curated online identities, with snappily edited videos and beautifully filtered photos offered to legions of devoted fans and followers. It's a compelling mix for the outdoor gear brands who want to make as big a splash as possible for their products. But are outdoor survival skills effectively being sacrificed for social media smarts?
"Authenticity and ambition used to go hand in hand on professional expeditions. Now, some wonder whether authenticity has been usurped by accessibility—the need to invite the world aboard, or risk being left at home" - Devon O'Neill.
An incident in Iceland just before Christmas highlighted the tensions. Four friends from the UK set off to cross Iceland on lightweight alpine-touring skis, with a film crew in tow but without any other support. A series of storms and misadventures followed, and they had to be airlifted to safety. General condemnation followed. They got slated in the local Icelandic and international press and even received death threats for what was seen as their irresponsible attitude. "Grand ambition is no substitute for common sense," sniffed one editorial in the Times.

Touch Tour
BODY:
At a recent concert in Wellington, Chamber Music New Zealand hosted a Touch Tour. It's an opportunity for audience members who are blind or have low vision to get close to the instruments and to hear about what's going on from a trained audio describer. With Nicola Owen, Christophe Rousset, Robyn Hunt and Renee Patete.
EXTENDED BODY:
Enjoying a music concert involves our sense of hearing, but we also experience it in many other ways too... What do the instruments look like? How do the performers interact? What is the venue like and how is it lit?
Small details, but they all contribute to the total experience...
Les Talens Lyriques are a French orchestra who play baroque, classical and pre romantic music on period instruments. At a recent concert of theirs in Wellington, Chamber Music New Zealand hosted a so-called Touch Tour.
It's an opportunity for audience members who are blind or have low vision to get close to these unusual instruments; to touch them, hear them, and learn about them in the company of an audio describer.
Participants wore small earpieces, and resident describer Nicola Owen was able to talk during breaks in the concert and describe what was happening on stage.

Birdstrike prevention
BODY:
Dr John Swaddle has developed a system of carefully targeted noises to disrupt birds' communications, making them feel like they're always in danger.
EXTENDED BODY:
Even if you love birds, they can sometimes be a bit of a nuisance. They eat crops, defecate everywhere, and hang around at the end of airport runways just waiting to get sucked into the engine of passing planes. Birdstrike is meant to cost airlines over US$1 billion in repairs and delays in the US alone.
So we humans have devised a whole range of tactics to keep them at bay; from trained hawks, to spikes, to loud bangs, to less humane methods like electrocution. But the problem just seems to keep coming back!
Now an ornithologist called Dr John Swaddle has developed a system of carefully targeted noises to disrupt birds' communications, making them feel like they're always in danger.

Further Future
BODY:
San Francisco technology reporter Nellie Bowles irecently ventured into the Nevada desert for the Further Future festival.
EXTENDED BODY:
For the second year running, the tech elite have gathered to network and party at Further Future – an exclusive festival in the Nevada desert that has been called the 'Burning Man for the one percent'.
"In the Wellness Tent, there's a fitness class with people jumping up and down in unison. Nearby, one woman advertises psychological services as 'tools and technology broken down for busy professionals'. Another advertises 'smudging aura cleansing'" – Nellie Bowles.
Further Future also boasts luxurious camping, DJ sets, wellness clinics, juice bars for Africa, and what looks from the photos like a lot of people wearing very small swimsuits dancing in the sand. Alphabet (formerly Google) boss Eric Schmidt was spotted wearing a top hat and a waistcoat covered in mirrors – very steampunk!

Yumi Zouma - Yoncalla
BODY:
Globally-itinerant indie band Yumi Zouma talk about their foray into the long player format. NYC-based Josh Burgess speaks with Yadana Saw about Yoncalla the album and Oregon town.
EXTENDED BODY:
In his day job Josh Burgess is Flying Nun's US man-on-the ground, which affords him a rather interesting perspective on his own musical pursuits in synth, dreamwave, slumber pop outfit Yumi Zouma.
“It’s interesting when you start thinking about music as something that is going to be released and listened to,” For Josh, it adds a certain pressure to his music making process, where many other individuals are invested in the creative output of him and his bandmates, he admits that "it does affect how you make music". And even more so when he's spent the last few years working on other artists' releases.
He questions the place of the long-player format, citing that most music listening habits involve single tracks compiled into playlists. Yet this did not deter Josh and his bandmates - Charlie Ryder, Sam Perry and new vocalist Christie Simpson - from writing and recording a 10-track long player; which is where Yoncalla, Oregon (pop. 1000) comes into the story.
Yadana Saw and Josh Burgess sit down to discuss the significance of Yoncalla as an album and place of inspiration.

Leila Adu - Scary Love Monster
BODY:
Princeton-based NZ composer and songwriter Leila Adu about sexism in the industry, ghanaian hip-hop, and her newfound love of the mbira.
EXTENDED BODY:
Leila Adu is one of those rare artists who bridges musical worlds, whose music sits as comfortably in an orchestral concert hall as in a late-night underground bar in New York. Brought up in New Zealand, of Ghanaian descent, she’s a composer doing her PHD at Princeton in the U.S, but she’s also part of electro-improv band The Miz’Ries, and produces skewiff pop under her own name.
She was back in Wellington in February, speaking at web technology conference Webstock - back in NY now she tells Kirsten Johnstone over Skype what that was about.
"Yeah I did this talk called 'A Jewelled Net - mindulness, music, people planet.' It just made me think for months about how technology has affected the music industry, musicians and our creativity."
"I've always done a combination of producing music and playing the piano, but I never really thought of it as producing, and I've gotta say, I think that's self-sexism. Girls often don't say 'I'm a producer' even if you produce the stuff yourself."
Hear more at the audio link above and head to Belts And Whistles to hear Leila Adu's new EP 'Scary Love Monster' and companion EP Love Cells on May 20th.

The Sampler Summit: Beyoncé’s Lemonade
BODY:
In The Sampler this week Nick Bollinger convenes a Sampler Summit to discuss Lemonade, the new visual album by Beyoncé. Our panellists are ethnomusicologist Savali Andrews, musician and writer Jessie Moss and singer Ria Hall.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Bollinger convenes a Sampler Summit to discuss Lemonade, the new visual album by Beyoncé. His panellists are ethnomusicologist Savali Andrews, musician and writer Jessie Moss and singer Ria Hall.
You won’t find a bigger star in popular music today than the performer known simply as Beyoncé.
She has sold in the region of 100 million records, winning Grammy awards for massive hits like ‘Single Ladies’. She’s been declared the highest-earning black musician in history, while her 2008 marriage to the rapper and entrepreneur Jay Z created a formidable power couple.
But with her increasing wealth and fame has come an increasing artistic ambition.
Dropped without warning on 23 April, Lemonade is more than just another Beyoncé album. It’s an intricate song cycle, accompanied by a 60-minute visual album that follows a woman (played by Beyoncé) through the stages of response to a husband’s infidelity. Laced through the story are multi-layered references to African-American history, politics, religion and music.
To help decode and interpret Beyoncé’s Lemonade from an Aotearoa/Pacific viewpoint, Nick Bollinger has called a Sampler Summit. His guests are ethnomusicologist Savali Andrews, writer and musician Jessie Moss and singer Ria Hall.
Says Jessie Moss: “I think it’s for black women, first and foremost, but its also about patriarchy and all women are subjugated in our patriarchal societies and all women can see themselves in there in some way.”
Savali Andrews adds: “Beyoncé is giving us a kaleidoscope of characters that relate to her own experiences and positions in the spaces that she occupies and represents.
I actually think the main character is The South, also known as The Deep South, Dixie, the Bible Belt. She is visually and sonically travelling through space and time to convey how black women of their various stations in this region have learned to attend to and survive a life of dire circumstances.”
In summary, Ria Hall says: “I wouldn’t judge this work as something that’s on the safe side, but she’s put herself in a position where she can express herself in exactly the manner that she wants to. If they don’t understand it artistically or conceptually or visually, they will still find themselves in it, because every person on the planet can find a piece of themselves in this album.”
Lemonade is available on Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records.
