Dance is a Neuroscience

A mix by Fari B of the most sonically intriguing dance tunes in this year's playlist, plus new Nov-Dec releases. Moving through genres and sub-genres from 8-bit to Neurostep, it's a selection to end 2015 with.

Dance is a marriage of the representational capacity of language and the rhythmicity of music. Even though dance is a fundamental form of human expression, neuroscientists have given it relatively little consideration. The past decade, however, researchers have conducted the first brain-imaging studies of both amateur and professional dancers. These investigations address such questions as, How do dancers navigate though space? How do they pace their steps? How do people learn complex series of patterned movements? 1)

VOICES FROM BEHIND THE VEIL, 21:23, 2004 (English/Arabic)

Voices from Behind the Veil, integrates interviews of Egyptian women on the subject of the hijab (the various head and body coverings of Islamic women) into a multilingual sound collage of women's voices. By weaving women's opinions, stories, and discussions about the hijab together, Voices from Behind the Veil reveals the multifaceted opinions and emotions by using a variety of communication styles, some completed statements and other partially revealed dialogues, yielding a richness of diversity in sound and content. The primary impetus of this project is to shift the (western) gaze from stereotypical assumptions easily conjured by visual images of veiled women to an aural encounter where the women (both veiled and not veiled) speak for themselves. 

Material for this project was gathered in the summer or 2003, where Farhadian was studying Arabic music with Egypt’s well-known violinist, Alfred Gamil. The interviews are comprised of all Egyptian women who represent varied perspectives on veiling—two women are unveiled, one woman wears a more “Spanish” veil, another with a traditional hijab (head-covering that covers all of the hair), and one with. The participants were diverse with respect to their age, socio-economic class, and education. Subjects covered in the interviews include personal stories, historical and cultural phenomena, relationship to the body, other women, men, fashion, family, the western world, the workplace, Islam, and societal expectations. Behind the layered interviews, the streets in Cairo play out.

Podcast: Free Lab Radio - Women Producers

Free Lab Radio - Women Producers by Fari on Mixcloud

Women Turning Knobs

Venus Radio

There's been a lot of media chat lately about women producers. But it all centred around the women who drive the desk and take control of the final sound direction of albums created by other people, but what about women who are visibly producing their own tracks and standing at the decks? Surely they're taking on more than one role and deserve a shout.

Looking back over Free Lab Radio playlists from the past three years, it is mostly men who've their names attached to the tracks we've loved. So we've put the effort in (it is not easy at first to remember or unearth good women producers, because normally you don't have it in mind whether the musics coming from a man or woman, but this time we've put our minds to it) and also must thank Free Lab Radio Facebook followers who've suggested/reminded us of a few of tonight's playlist.

Catch the show 11pm-midnight GMT and podcasts later on www.MIXCLOUD.com/fari
