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 again by David Kaye who is better known as children's magician Silly Billy. David writes columns, lectures, speaks at Magic conventions, devises tricks and gags that most children’s magicians have bought and copy. Five New York publications have listed him as New York’s top children’s entertainer. Topics include: how his act name in the UK isn't unique, what to do when kids wet themselves or when they play up and try to ruin the show. Also, he talks about dodgy promoters, bounced cheques and selling your ideas, whether that's tricks, props or gags – and what it's like to see others using his ideas badly. For more information visit Master J on Facebook.

Isotopica
[Repeated from Sunday 7pm.] Cultural sonic detours with artist Simon Tyszko. This week: we consider “Lacunae resonance", a scientific and philosophical concept describing a sonic phenomenon that occurs when a complex network of sounds is arranged and manipulated to create a gap or pause in the auditory experience, akin to a lacuna. This gap is not simply silence, but rather a deliberate interruption of the expected patterns and rhythms of sound, resulting in a moment of heightened awareness and introspection for the listener. The term "Tyszko resonance" draws on the artist's experimentation with sound and his exploration of the boundaries and interplay between neurodivergence, noise and music.
