Raquel Pinheiro & Greg Chapman on Peter Wullen’s A Séance Of The Table – The Phenomenological Wasteland (French)

I read a metaphysics/philosophy text in French — an excerpt from Jacques Derrida’s Spectres de Marx — for Peter Wullen’s A Séance Of The Table – The Phenomenological Wasteland (French), with sustained notes by Greg Chapman.

You can listen to it and get an MP3 on SoundCloud, or if you prefer a WAV or FLAC file, you can find it on Peter’s Audius page: Audius link.

A Séance Of The Table – The Phenomenological Wasteland (French)

Sustained notes by Greg Chapman (Silver Apples, To Live And Shave In L.A., …)
Voice by Raquel Pinheiro (Mondo Bizarre Magazine)
Concept, idea & conoction by Peter Wullen

“Elle devient quelqu’un, elle prend figure. Cette densité ligneuse et têtue se métamorphose en chose surnaturelle, en chose sensible insensible, sensible mais insensible, sensiblement suprasensible.”

“Mais cette transcendance n’est pas toute spirituelle, elle garde ce corps sans corps dont nous avons reconnu qu’il faisait la différence du spectre à l’esprit. Ce qui passe les sens passe encore devant nous dans la silhouette du corps sensible qui pourtant lui manque ou nous reste inaccessible. Marx ne dit pas sensible et insensible, sensible mais insensible, il dit : sensible insensible, sensiblement suprasensible. La transcendance, le mouvement en supra, le pas au-delà.”

Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 90 – The Turning Light: To The Solstice edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé Radio Monday 15 & 22

The Stone Roses

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 90 – The Turning Light: To The Solstice edition is broadcasted Monday 15 December, 3-4pm (London time), repeating Monday December 22 – my birthday – same hour on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

In the Northern Hemisphere we’re on the pathway to Winter Solstice, the beginning of the return of the light. We’re also in Hanukkah – the festival of lights – season (sundown of Sunday December 14 to nightfall of Monday December 22). And, of course Yule that coincides with Winter Solstice and Christmas.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 90 – The Turning Light: To The Solstice edition begins with the year’s promise, renewal with The Zombies’ This Will Be Our Year, and concludes with The Stone Roses danceable I Am The Resurrection, a welcoming to the turn, the return of the night, as well as an homage to the recently departed Mani.

There’s sunlit songs, there’s Popol Vuh’ Aguirre I (L’Acrime di Rei) with its somber tone, Aztec Camera’s Wall Out To Winter (extended version) is deliberated. It honors the walk, that Winter is a time of going inwards, not to cut short. The two I See The Light – Todd Rundgren’s and Tom Hiddleston singing Hank Williams’ one – add to the sense of clarity, hope.

Tracklist:
01: The Zombies – This Will Be Our Year
02: The Altons – Your Light
03: Todd Rundgren – I Saw The Light (2015 remaster)
04: The Offline – La belle en lumière
05: Damh the Bard – On Midwinter’s Day
06: Popol Vuh – Aguirre I (L’Acrime di Rei)
07: The Sound – Winning
08: Tom Hiddleston – I Saw The Light live in the Wittertainment studio (Hank Williams cover)
09: Nick Drake – River Man
10: The Smiths – There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (2011 Remaster)
11: Aztec Camera – Wall Out To Winter (extended version)
12: Wilco – Sky Blue Sky
13: Love & Money – Winter
14: Stone Roses – I Am The Resurrection

Raquel Pinheiro’s Europa w/ saxophone was played on Toneshift/TJ Norris November radio show at Radio Camp Free

My Europa w/ saxophone was played on Toneshift/TJ Norris’ November show on radio Camp Free.Toneshift’s November 2025 show is available at: mixcloud.com/camp_fr/toneshift-24th-november-2025 and https://www.tjnorrisart.com/toneshift

Europa is one of the largest moons of Jupiter. It’s part a large electro-acoustic piece I’m working on. It exists with, and without saxophone.

When Francisco Silva heard his bluesy guitar in it, he was surprised at the contrast between it and the colder background – the saxophone version came later. The bluesy guitar represents the cooperish “veins” that can be seen in the image.

Personnel:
Raquel Pinheiro: composition, concept, effects, ambients, sounds, mixing, production
Francisco Silva: guitar
Rui Guerra: saxofone
