Three Minute Epiphany - Jenny Hval: The Practice Of Love
play

09/23/19 • 5 min

Mary Anne is joined by Norwegian experimental songwriter and novelist Jenny Hval. Jenny presents a 3 Minute Epiphany on the practice of love.

The title of this 3 Minute Epiphany is also the title of Jenny's latest album and Valie Export’s 1985 film of the same name, which in part inspired the record.

We asked Jenny about the exploration of love in art in poetry and as a way of broadening her own writing practice.

Using the pop song format to attempt to make sense of what love and care actually mean, Jenny explores Love across her new record, saying of the album “Love as a theme in art has been the domain of the canonized, big artists, and I have always seen myself as a minor character, a voice that speaks of other things...But in the last few years I have wanted to take a closer look at the practice of otherness, this fragile performance, and how it can express love, intimacy, empathy and desire.”

Three Minute Epiphany - Salami Rose Joe Louis: Science Fiction
play

09/11/19 • 6 min

We have a 3 Minute Epiphany from US based musician and producer, Salami Rose Joe Louis. Her new album 'Zdenka 2080' was released via Brainfeeder on the 30th of August 2019.

The album draws it's inspiration from film, literature, art, and music, and was heavily influenced in particular by a series of apocalyptic sci-fi novels by Octavia Butler and Gene Wolf.

Salami Rose Joe Louis. (real name Lindsay Olsen) says that the books: "inspired me to explore the realms of fantasy as a means of illuminating concepts and truths about our own society and humanity.”

As a result 'Zdenka 2080' describes a future dystopian Earth in the year 2080 that has been mis-managed by unethical governments and corporations. An initiative by greedy big business to capture solar energy to power a super-sized spaceship, results in a rapidly cooling Earth, and the elite escape via the spaceship to colonize another distant planet. The earthlings left behind find themselves fading with the cooling sun.
