Don Cherry: Lito

From Live At The Bracknell Jazz Festival (1986). Featuring flinging tongues, African grooves, and drummer Ed Blackwell.

Ron Everett: Glitter of the City (1977)

Traditional jazz and swing sounds with weird stuff, and I dug several tracks: Royal Walk_ with warbly instrumentals, loops, screeching, spoken word; Tipsy Lady’s blues/hip-hop and old school drums; Pretty Little Girl’s singing off-key Latin vibe; the 8-bit bossa nova of Untitled No. 4.

Joana Queiroz: Memórias (2019)

Live performance where she builds sound structures with loop pedals and various clarinets, accompanied at times by graceful dancing. Sublime colouring in the photography and clothing.

Joana Queiroz: Performance sonora

Live improvised “sound performance” from 2021. There’s something pure and unfiltered about a human being making music with an acoustic instrument while walking through nature. Accompanying is the sound of birds, dogs, air, footsteps, singing, a self-playing accordion, a fireplace, frogs…

Joana Querioz: Diários de Vento (2016)

Seamlessly integrates nature and song and humanity: it’s the sound of someone enjoying instrument timbres and ambience. Around clarinet melodies there’s a duet with a fly, a child warbling their tongue, clanging pots and pans, squeaking of a rocking chair, lots of tasty sounds. Ai qué delicia!

[Map out leaders' journeys from development to growth so that you can supercharge their activities: prepare to give them the right support at the right moment.]

[Anticipate their difficulties: offer training if they have fears about first-time hosting; provide templates if they're worried it takes long to make presentations; organize resources in one place if they spend time looking for supporting documents.]

[Reach out to organizers to ask where the road bumps are.]

Participation Inequality: The 90-9-1 Rule for Social Features

[Help counter participation inequality by making it easier to contribute; making participation a side effect of other things they did; offering templates to avoid intimidating blank pages; rewarding participation with badges or discounts; showcasing great contributions.]
