Bill Tuckey. [%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "The Mind of the

it? Helen Thomas reports that there's a new understanding of what
drives this sinister compulsion. [T;%]

THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and

[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: It's "First Monday", when "The Planet" looks fondly back at the
best new releases of the month that just was. It's not just a
nostalgia trip; we always save some of the finest cuts for a debut
airing on this day.
Tue.: Our featured Danish fiddler-composer seeks “a short cut through
your ear & straight to your happy heart”. So declares Kristine Heebøll
of her “Trio Mio”. Her colleagues are pianist/accordionist Nikølaj Busk
& Jens Ulvsand, who plays guitar & bouzouki. A string quartet is also
occasionally involved. The leader’s background in Scandinavian
traditional music is easy to detect. So too are her wide-ranging
interests in what she calls “every other kind of GOOD music!” The
result is fresh & quite beautiful.
Wed.: Imagine a musical world where the violinist holds a plastic
disc in her mouth so she can alter her sound by changing the shape of
her mouth. Imagine a flute designed to be played by three musicians at
once. What about an instrument that you don’t touch, but move your
hands to manipulate its airflow? Listen to the electric one string
instrument similar to a tea chest bass. Are we talking about an
avant-garde music ensemble? No – these are the traditional instruments
played by the Khac Chi Ensemble a Vietnamese trio now based in Canada.
The sounds of their CD – 'Spirit of Vietnam' - might make you wonder if
you’re listening to music from an alternate universe.
Thu.: If you like smoocheroso, sensuous tenor saxophone, it’s hard to
imagine anything more appetizing than “The Nearness of You”. Bennie
Wallace is in unfailingly luscious, romantic mode on his new CD – a
superbly recorded, drummer-less trio with pianist Kenny Barron &
acoustic bassist Eddie Gomez. It’s a deluxe set of “standards”. On the
other hand, “Jacinta’s Song” sees Australia’s Jenny Game-Lopata place
her tenor & soprano saxophones in imaginative, non-standard contexts.
Her intricately & ingeniously structured compositions leave space for
improvisation, & make good use of “unexpected” instruments such as
violin, marimba & steel drum.
Fri.: Virginia Rodrigues grew up surrounded by the sounds of samba in
the favelas of Salvador but her musical tastes gravitated towards the
operatic voices of Jessye Norman and Marian Anderson. Caetano Veloso
heard the exceptional clarity and individuality of her voice while she
was singing in a church choir and helped produce her first two albums.
Once again, he’s the artistic director for her new album, ‘Mares
Profundos’, which is a beautifully recorded and arranged take on some
of the first Afro-Brazilian songs to reach the mainstream, the
compositions of Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell.

2130 -
Mon.: EARTHBEAT - environmental issues raised by economic development
with Alexandra de Blas. This week: "Falling in Love Again" - The
Western world view emerges from only one part of the human brain. Our
pursuit of purely rational knowledge blocks out the emotional centres
that evolution has given us as guides for survival. As a consequence
we’re heading down a path to extinction. "The 4th Bottom Line" -
Futurist Sohail Inayatullah argues that spirituality should be adopted
as the "4th bottom line" after economic, social and environmental
elements. "Enterprise Facilitation" - Earthbeat meets the founder of
enterprise facilitation - a system that encourages sustainable economic
development. [T]

ingenuity. <http://www.abc.net.au/ra/innovations/default.htm> for
details, audio and further info on the products highlighted. [T;%]
Wed.: IN THE PIPELINE - This thirteen part radio series goes beyond
the current hype surrounding digital technology to examine the
challenges and opportunities it creates for Australia and the Asian
region. This week: "#10--Clever Communications". Use of the internet as
a means of communicating has opened up new definitions of community and
has created the basis of the global village. But how different are
these virtual communities? How do computer-mediated communications
affect the way we relate to one another? By combining aural, visual and
text-based media, some argue we are better able to accommodate the
different means, through which individuals learn, and work with one
another. But is sitting at a screen any substitute for face-to-face
interaction? [T;%]
Thu.: ALL IN THE MIND - a foray into the mental universe, the mind,
the brain and human behavior with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Trauma
and Transition--Mental Health in Iraq". After three wars, the tyranny
of Saddam Hussein, 13 years of UN sanctions and the current volatile
transition; Iraq is a country under psychological strain. One report
suggests at least 50 per cent of Iraqis probably have post-traumatic
stress disorder. But there are less than 100 psychiatrists and no
clinical psychologists across the population of 24 million. [T;%]

abridged version of the "Sunday Morning" program that is broadcast on
ABC Radio National. [%]
Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week:
"Executioner's Current". The electric chair is a vile and uncivilised
invention, but it was originally sold to the American public as a more
'humane' way of killing. Even more bizarrely, it was an offshoot of a
grim commercial competition between two electrical standards:
Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) and the men behind
them, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison. [%]
Fri.: HIT MIX* - presented by Brendon Telfer. Find out what we're
listening to in Australia and what we're giving to the world in our
