*Ràdio Web MACBA most listened podcasts - January 2017 <http://rwm.macba.cat>**1- PROBES series. Curated by Chris Cutler <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag>*
Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag PROBES <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag> takes Marshall McLuhan’s conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to analyse and expose the search for a new sonic language made urgent after the collapse of tonality in the twentieth century. The series looks at the many probes and experiments that were launched in the last century in search of new musical resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to make music adequate to a world transformed by disorientating technologies. You can find the latest instalment of the series, exploring the impact of Indian instruments in Western Music here. <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-cutler/capsula> *2- <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia148_mark_fisher/capsula> SON[I]A #148.

In this podcast, he brilliantly analyses the role of the media, the education system, the link between Neoliberalism and brain chemistry, and what he calls business ontology 'in a world in which internment camps and franchise coffee bars co-exist.' 3- ON LISTENING #1 <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/on-listening-1/capsula> Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/on-listening-1/capsula Can we think through listening? Seth-Kim Cohen, Christoph Cox, Julian Henriques, Casey O’Callaghan, Peter Szendy and Salomé Voegelin help us to explore philosophy’s seeming difficulty in grappling with listening and its counterpart – sound – as a powerful deconstructive means to cut through some of the philosophical certainties that underpin classical and modern Western thought. *4- <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/robert-janz-/capsula>**SON[I]A #232. <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia148_mark_fisher/capsula>Robert Janz <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/robert-janz-/capsula>* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/robert-janz-/capsula Robert Janz is a painter sculptor, printmaker, poet and street artist. He was born in Belfast in 1932 and studied at the Rinehart School of Sculpture in Baltimore, and by the time he turned twenty he had started drawing on the wet sand on Venice Beach, Los Angeles, using sticks he picked up along the way. The lines were erased by the incoming waves and he obsessively drew them again and again. These early ephemeral drawings eventually became the project 'Waves Between Waves' (1977), which got him into a gallery and into the art scene. *5- **SON[I]A #229.
