Summary

Skye Allen - MC and vocalist with soul and hip-hop band The Spliff Personalities shares what she’s gained from writing songs by herself to what that brings working collaboratively on song-writing with the group – “it’s an interplay now between me and everyone else.” Drawing from her extensive knowledge of hip hop and “the breath of intelligence behind it as an art form,” Skye talks about how her discovery of it merged with her love of writing and poetry. She offers an insightful profile on why some MC’s like Oddisee “… are like the greatest poets of our time” and what they mean to her. Learning how to promote yourself is essential to the careers of all musicians but can be daunting for new artists. Skye discusses where she draws the line in promoting herself through social media and how emerging artists learn to navigate the music business works by “basically winging it.” Skye vividly describes what it’s like to perform in different venues and how she and other members from The Spliff Personalities improvised and recorded the opening theme track for Staccato! And we’ll listen to Skye and The Spliff Personalities in a live jam session! Skye Allen – keeping it fresh - keeping it funky!

Common Sense with Dan Carlin Dan Carlin Common Sense with Dan Carlin is an independent look at politics and current events from popular New Media personality Dan Carlin.Carlin's self-described "Martian" viewpoints infuse each episode with a political alien's take on the world around us and the problems it faces. It's a smart, unique (and admittedly U.S.-centric) program that doesn't dumb down the information or analysis for the slowest person in the room.Carlin's rapid-fire staccato voice has been compared to William Shatner after too many espressos.

The speed and extent of the environmental disasters looming over us with climate change, species extinction, extreme weather events, pollution and overuse of land, air and water, etc. are unprecedented and as real as they are incomprehensible. The slow violence of these transformations has accelerated to a staccato of events. The series of lectures and discussions at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, "Burning Futures: On Ecologies of Existence", initiated by Magarita Tsomou (HAU) and curated by Maximilian Haas, looks at the escalating and indeed apocalyptic discourses of the coming catastrophes against the background of ever-growing ecological crises and debates ways and aims of political action. While we can still discuss these issues in a relatively safe and sound environment, in the global South and elsewhere the ecologies of human existence are already be
