John Chowning * Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/john-chowning-/capsula John Chowning shares the experience of being a pioneer in a discipline at a time when using computers to generate music was a leap into the void between creative eccentricity and scientific adventure. *3- COMPOSING WITH PROCESS <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/composingwithprocess_tag> series.

Franco Berardi 'Bifo' *Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/franco-bifo-berardi-heroes/capsula Bifo talks about mass killings in relation to cinema, mental health, neuroplasticity, friendship, irony and, ultimately, hope. *2- FONS ÀUDIO #36. Matt Mullican. * Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/matt-mullican/capsula <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/matt-mullican/capsula> Through a series of practices designed to examine all the folds and psychological strata of the real, Matt Mullican circles around notions such as virtuality, cosmology, subjectivity, and the idea of a memory theatre. In FONS AUDIO #36 he tells us about life on the other side of the mirror, explains different ways of handling a corpse, and talks about the mind’s endless capacity to create imaginary or parallel worlds. ENJOY!
