Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by Karen Holmes for another whistle-stop tour through the week’s arts news, where high culture, low behaviour and questionable opinions collide. The pair discuss holiday company Tui distancing itself from Married at First Sight, Kylie Minogue quietly revealing a second cancer diagnosis through song lyrics, and the casual $181 million dropped on a Jackson Pollock. Along the way they’ll revisit the fallout from this year’s Eurovision, attempt to establish whether modern art is genius or just extremely confident mess, and drift into discussions about reality television, celebrity ego and backstage theatre politics. All that along with the usual helping of banter and nonsense. For more information visit Master J on Facebook.

Clear Spot
The Scarecrows of Saskan. Leo Elia's "The Scarecrows of Saskan" is a musical following Strachila and Hunk, two scarecrows uprooted from their separate worlds by the same fierce storm and deposited in a cornfield. There they encounter Buddy Bale, an elusive stranger who seems to know exactly who they are. When rainfall forces the unlikely trio to collaborate on building a shelter, their differing instincts and agendas begin to pull against each other, and what starts as uneasy cooperation steadily unravels into suspicion, betrayal and threat. Conceived as a sequel to The Wizard of Oz, the musical unites the scarecrows from two tellings of the same story: L. Frank Baum's original 1900 novel and Alexander Volkov's The Wizard of the Emerald City, the 1939 Soviet adaptation that became a GDR bestseller. All characters are performed entirely by Elia himself, accompanied by AI-generated orchestral backing tracks. Visit Instagram @leo__elia. [Repeats Monday 10am.]

Modulisme
Modulisme (which translates as Modularism) is devoted to out of leftfield modular synthesis. This week: musician and composer Ed Herrmann is equally at home with free improvisation, analogue electronics and invented instruments. He has composed music for dance, theatre and broadcast; created site specific sound installations; produced and hosted radio, podcasts and audio tours. After studying music composition and learning analogue synthesis on an Emu modular and EMS Synthi, a three panel Serge system became the primary instrument; decades later adding eurorack, Moog and acoustic instruments.
