Common Air S3E3 @ Stranded FM - 04.02.21

For our final episode this season, we dive into poetry’s relationship to music with a focus on lyricism, rhythm, and attunement. The episode is a pre-recording co-hosted and stitched together by Staci Bu Shea and Ying Que, and anchored with some of the voices from Common Grounds: Song / Value including artist and postal initiative Dear, (Martha Jager and Sophie de Serière), artist musician Mira Thompson and artist and researcher Serena Lee. You’ll hear musical tracks from the letter writers this season in collaboration with Dear,. Sprinkled throughout are songs and other contributions that explore post-coloniality and tune, work and rhythm, embodiment and song writing. This show closes Channel 4 of Common Grounds: Song / Value. Find the archival after the show alongside the two episodes on our SoundCloud. As always, reach out to us for a transcript.
