In the ever changing world of independent music, musicians are figuring out new ways to package and distribute their art. One method in particular has adopted the old mixtape model of trading and sharing music communally. One aspect no one could have predicted however, was to actually bring the physical cassette back. Cassette Culture explores one of the communities behind the production of cassette tapes and the physicality of music in the digital age.
Talk It Out is where we go when we need that special moment to sit back and just talk about what’s on our minds. This is the place where we make sure everyone has a chance to talk and where we all get to discuss about what’s on the table. We like to make sure that everyone is here to have a good time. So join us for a nice discussion as we get to know each other on a more personal level. We’ll get to hear what guests will have to say and we hope it’s an educational experience you’ll benefit from–just to get a little lay of the land! Fun and interesting discussions from people like you. So come on out and give a listen!
On this week’s installment of the n+1 “Occupy Onwards” panels, we feature the discussion: “Lessons from the Past/Possible Futures.” Speakers include Ann Snitow of The New School, L.A. Kauffman of the Global Justice Movement and Yotam Marom of the OWS Direct Action Working Group. The panel is moderated by Asher Dupuy-Spencer. Keep an eye out for next week’s episode, the third of four panels, titled: “Foreclosures and Resistance.”

AMPLIFIED FRIENDS returns with another semester of sultry sounds from the New School, New York City and beyond. For our sixth episode we hear from three unique New School songwriters.
First we travel to the Bushwick apartment of Diego Claire where we recorded him performing solo & as a duet with fellow Lang student Greta Melcher.
Next we meet up with New School for Jazz student Emilie Schattman at Arnold Hall where we gathered ’round the piano to hear her croon & tinkle the keys of a grand piano.
Finally we visited the family home of Jesse Statman in Park Slope where we pet his dog Cannonball and listened to him rock out on a homemade guitar. (You may remember Jesse’s poetry from Episode 1 with the Experimental Writing Collective, check it out below!)
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! – We have plenty of shows planned for the upcoming school year. If you are a performer, writer or artist of any kind and would like to be on an episode of Amplified Friends we would love to have you. Please send an email to donam119@newschool.edu.
