Something For The Weekend: Sarah Davachi's cultural picks
is a Canadian composer and performer of electroacoustic and minimalist music; her acclaimed work is concerned with the close intricacies of timbral and temporal space, utilizing extended durations and considered harmonic structures that emphasize gradual variations in texture, overtone complexity, psychoacoustic phenomena, and tuning and intonation. Her new composition Song of the Smile's Fig. was commissioned by Eamonn Quinn of Louth Contemporary Music Society, and will be performed by Chamber Choir Ireland at Louth Contemporary Music Society's Echoes Festival on Saturday 14th June. We asked Sarah for her choice cultural picks... FILM My all-time favourite film is Barry Lyndon, every aspect of it – the production, the cinematography, the pathos of the story, the pacing, the music, the costumes – is perfect and I have a thing for slow period epics. It's the kind of film that I would love to score. I also really love the films of Abbas Kiarostami, especially Taste of Cherry and Certified Copy, the way he plays with perspective and narrative has really challenged my thinking and leaves me deeply moved by the films even years later. I've never seen anything like the end of Taste of Cherry, it gave me chills. More recently, I'll give a shout-out to Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy, who made Oddity and Caveat, which are some of the best horror films I've seen recently. BOOK I'm just finishing a doctoral degree in musicology and I'm still in that headspace, so most of what I read these days is theoretical non-fiction. I look forward to the time when I can return to fiction and really get indulgent with it. Lately I've been going through this two-volume exploration of the compositions and writings of James Tenney, who was an incredible American composer that I think has been greatly overlooked. The books, called The Music of James Tenney, are by Robert Wannamaker, who also has a new book on Tenney's music (called Writings and Interviews on Experimental Music) coming out in June, which is very exciting. In terms of fiction, one of my favourites is Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, it's so beautifully melancholy. I also love reading longer collections of poetry – my favourites are by Rainer Maria Rilke (especially his Sonnets to Orpheus), André Breton, and Richard Brautigan. MUSIC Where to begin? I study and listen to a lot of 'early' music, and recently I've been returning to the work of William Byrd, a renaissance composer who wrote quite a lot of choral music as well as some very beautiful works for keyboard. Listening to early music tends to be as much about the composers as it is about the performers, and different ensembles that interpret the same repertoire can vary greatly in their approaches. I've been returning lately to Noah Greenberg's New York Pro Musica, they've always sounded very straightforward to me, like they embody exactly what you'd imagine when you think of early music and they have this kind of wintry east coast academic vibe that I'm into, so I've really been enjoying going there mentally lately. I also love listening to the Huelgas Ensemble, a group from Belgium that's been around since the 1970s; on the other side of that coin, they often feel very experimental to me in their interpretations, partly in their choice of instrumentation and in the acoustic orientation of the players. There are a lot of contemporary experimental musicians who engage with early music in really meaningful ways (I like to think of myself as belonging to this group of people, if I may say so!), and a few of my favourites right now are Mara Winter, an American composer and flautist based in Switzerland, and Clara Levy, a French composer and violinist based in Belgium. If you follow my monthly radio show on NTS, you'll know that I'm also a huge fan of progressive rock music from the 1970s especially. I've been heavily into South American prog (I contend that the best prog came from Argentina) but lately I've been getting back into Italian prog a bit more, bands like Picchio dal Pozzo, Le Orme, and Latte e Miele. THEATRE I actually don't attend the theatre, and I can't say that I've read many plays outside of the usual suspects that you'd read in university literature courses. Los Angeles is of course better known for its film and television production and I've never lived somewhere that had a strong theatre scene, so it's never been something that I've felt was missing in my life. It clearly wasn't enough to get me into reading plays, but I do remember being very taken by the work of Harold Pinter, which I had to read for a philosophy course I was taking on existentialism. The thematic content is of course interesting, but I was also intrigued by his writing style, which is almost minimalist in its emphasis on negative space by way of silence and pauses. TV My husband and I started watching the Dekalog earlier this year as I'd never seen it before and he's a big fan of the filmmaker. It's a Polish television miniseries made by Krzysztof Kieslowski in the late 1980s, each episode articulating one of the ten commandments in the modern context of people who all live in the same social housing project in Warsaw. There's one episode that I just couldn't deal with (episode 4... there's no moral dilemma to be had, it's just wrong either way) but the rest of the series is really well done. In terms of more modern/mainstream television, I was a big fan of the Ripley miniseries with Andrew Scott in the titular role. It was gorgeously shot, wonderfully acted, beautiful sound design, and the pacing is just incredible. GIG I regrettably also don't attend as much live music as I should or would like to – I'm a bit of a homebody and Los Angeles is also very conducive to that kind of lifestyle, for better or for worse. Most of the concerts that I take in happen while I'm on tour, which I do quite a lot, alongside other things that are happening at the concerts or festivals that I play. Most recently two performances that left a lasting impression on me were a collaborative commission by Ed Atkins and Chris Shields, which I heard at the Organ Sound Art Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2024, and a presentation of Éliane Radigue's Occam Ocean for orchestra, performed by Onceim as part of Festival Musica in Strasbourg, France in September 2024. Those kinds of works hit completely differently when they're resonating in a large, acoustic space as opposed to a recording. ART Similar to the music I described above, I find that most works of art just impact you in a completely different way when you see them in person. A few years ago I was giving a concert in Madrid and I had a few days off there so I went to the Museo del Prado as I'd never been. I didn't realize that they had Francisco Goya's Black Paintings series there, so I just stumbled onto it by accident and was really overwhelmed. I think part of it is knowing that they weren't created for public consumption, so there's a desperation and a sadness about them that feels really vulnerable, especially in comparison to the public works that he is known for. He simply painted these directly onto the walls of the house he was living in and that gives them a much darker feel, both visually but also psychologically. El Perro (The Dog) especially, something about seeing it in person made me want to vomit, it just felt so tragic and lonely. RADIO/PODCAST I actually don't really listen to a lot of podcasts for whatever reason. If I'm not listening to music, I tend to just prefer silence. And sometimes listening to people talk lulls me to sleep, which is obviously not good when you live in a city that requires driving on a constant basis. I occasionally listen to episodes of Marc Maron's WTF podcast – his interview style used to really bother me because he frequently interrupts people, but I've grown to embrace it and I think he conducts pretty honest and unusual discussions, which I appreciate. TECH I don't know that I have a great answer for this question. On a personal level, I adore geography games/apps, like this one, where you identify all kinds of maps, both current and historical, geopolitical and topographical. I love that kind of stuff and am always looking for similar games that challenge your memory in different ways. On a professional level, I suppose the main "tech" that I use these days is for sorting out tuning systems. There's an online tool built by the German theorist and composer Caspar Johannes Walter that I use quite a lot, he has a lot of amazing resources on his website, and I also use the Hayward Tuning Vine, which is an incredible lattice-based interface designed by Robin Hayward, a British musician and composer based in Berlin, also notable for developing the microtonal tuba mechanism. On my phone, I use the iStroboSoft app for in situ tuning – it's modelled after the old Peterson strobe tuners and it's great, it allows you to do a lot of tuning modifications and achieve a level of specificity that most generic tuners struggle with. THE NEXT BIG THING... I can't think of an answer that isn't pessimistic and sardonic in light of the current state of the world, so I will leave it at that for fear of sounding too negative. Perhaps just enjoying whatever you can in life, I guess – that's really important and I think it's also severely underrated. Life is short, take whatever meaning you can, whenever and wherever you can get it.

What do these shows have in common? They don't mind getting it wrong
The story goes that Stanley Kubrick, infamous for his perfectionism, was determined to shoot the interior sequences of 1975's Barry Lyndon using only candlelight to imbue the film with a greater sense of 18th-century authenticity. The problem was that film stock in the 1970s still required an enormous amount of light to achieve proper exposure. So Kubrick cooked up a typically galaxy-brained solution: in addition to using specially made triple-wicked beeswax candles that let off an abnormal amount of light (and had to be replaced at the start of each new take), he borrowed super-wide-aperture camera lenses from NASA. Originally designed for use during the Apollo missions, they were hypersensitive enough that they allowed cinematographer John Alcott to shoot entire nighttime scenes by the glow of a candelabra. This feels like a deeply Kubrickian contradiction: using space-age technology to recreate 'authentic' 1700s imagery. But it's also a dilemma filmmakers face to this day: how far should you go for the sake of period authenticity? And even if you bend over backwards to make your film or TV show look like a pixel-perfect reproduction of the past, do audiences actually care? They certainly do when it's a goof. Since the earliest days of cinema, eagle-eyed viewers have gleefully called out filmmakers not just for errant boom mics and camera reflections, but for anachronistic bloopers. Consider the Casio wristwatch worn by a Civil War soldier in Edward Zwick's 1989 Glory, or the Starbucks cup on a banquet table in the final season of Game of Thrones which briefly threatened to break the internet in 2019 (simpler times). The pair of pastel blue Converse sneakers in the background of Sofia Coppola's 1780s-set Marie Antoinette, though? That's no accident. Nor is the fact that they appear in the middle of a montage set to Bow Wow Wow's cover of the Strangeloves' I Want Candy. This was Coppola's expressionistic way of drawing a direct comparison between her ennui-riddled royal protagonist and everyday teenage moviegoers in 2006. For some directors, the past is a sandbox where you get to make your own rules. This approach makes full use of the suspension of disbelief that has always been the cornerstone of the unspoken agreement between filmmakers and audiences. As we watch Mr Darcy saunter across the misty moors in Pride and Prejudice, dressed in a period-accurate long coat, we're more than willing to overlook his perfect Hollywood veneers; nobody wants their Regency-era heartthrob with a mouth full of rotting dentures any more than they want the marble statues in Gladiator to be repainted their original, gaudy colours (with beady eyes that follow you around the room). Unless, perhaps, you're Robert Eggers, a modern acolyte of the Kubrick school of fastidiousness as renowned for his dogged attention to period detail as he is for his complete rejection of modernity. 'The idea of having to photograph a car makes me ill,' he said on the promotional trail for last year's Nosferatu, 'and the idea of photographing a cell phone is just death.' All the sets and furniture in Eggers' 2015 New England horror The Witch were constructed using 17th-century Puritan carpentry techniques; the costumes in 2022's 10th-century revenge saga The Northman were hand-made using reindeer leather and Icelandic sheep wool. Eggers' goal appears to be nothing less than his audience's complete and total immersion in a bygone era – a tactic that benefits his actors, too. Anya Taylor-Joy, star of The Witch, recalls working on Eggers' ruthlessly well-researched and painstakingly detailed sets: 'You show up and exist. You don't have to imagine it.' While Eggers has built his reputation on a strict adherence to period accuracy, others like Baz Luhrmann have forged their own creative mythos from doing exactly the opposite – particularly when it comes to music. The soundtrack to Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet is the stuff of legend (going triple platinum in Australia and reaching No. 2 on the US charts), and his follow-ups for Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby and Elvis similarly threw historical fidelity out the window, incorporating music by Elton John, Sting, Jay-Z and Kacey Musgraves to name but a few. Loading Luhrmann's quasi-modern mixtapes bridge the gap between his characters' emotional experience and their audience's cultural context. Much like Sofia Coppola's young queen swooning through the Palace of Versailles to the Strokes' What Ever Happened?, Leo DiCaprio moping about on a beach to the strains of Radiohead's Talk Show Host was the perfect way to help angsty '90s teens relate to his Romeo – just as mixing Hound Dog with Doja Cat on the Elvis soundtrack tidily conveys the King's stratospheric popularity to listeners of his time. While this kind of musical juxtapositioning has been common in film for decades (see also: Leonard Cohen scoring Robert Altman's 1971 Western McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Queen's We Will Rock You as the opening them to 2001's medieval A Knight's Tale, and David Bowie's Cat People (Putting Out Fire) popping up in Quentin Tarantino's World War II caper I nglourious Basterds), we've now entered a golden age of historical revisionism in television, too. Were he alive today, I can absolutely see Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders) being a diehard Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fan (possibly even Dirty Three?), just as I can imagine a young Emily Dickinson being as obsessed with Billie Eilish as any other twenty-something in 2025. This year's Dope Girls, billed as a 'spiritual successor' to Peaky Blinders, explores the birth of London's drug underworld in the post-World War I nightclub scene – all scored by modern British experimental electronic collective NYX. And who could forget the very first episode of Netflix's Bridgerton, which proudly announced its anachronistic bona fides by having its young socialites arrive at the Danbury House debutante ball to an orchestral arrangement of Ariana Grande's thank u, next? Using modern music in these historical settings compresses our sense of time. It creates common ground between characters and audiences otherwise separated by centuries, and makes the past feel like a less alien place. Bridgerton is a leading example of yet another form of wilful anachronism: race-blind casting, which feels like a fitting karmic corrective to a hundred years of on-screen blackface, yellowface, and everything in between. Without this calculated departure from the historical record, we never would have had Regé-Jean Page's breakout turn as the Duke of Hastings in Bridgerton, or Sacha Dhawan as Russian royal adviser Count Orlo in The Great, or Dev Patel and Rosalind Eleazar as David Copperfield and Agnes Wickfield in Armando Iannucci's 2019 reimagining of the Charles Dickens classic. Unshackling these stories from period accuracy has been a boon for casting directors and audiences alike. At its most powerful, race-blind casting subverts and re-interrogates history (as in Hamilton) – while even in its most minor application, it offers brilliantly talented actors of colour a proper and well-overdue turn in the sandbox. Loading There will always be purists who believe a director's duty is to create a flawlessly accurate facsimile of the past. And while there's no doubt considerable artistry in the efforts of those like Robert Eggers, choosing to play a little bit fast-and-loose with period detail allows even more modern-day viewers to see themselves reflected in history. More than that: it makes us feel less alone. It reminds us that even though fashion changes and film stock evolves, the human experience remains remarkably consistent. Whatever you're going through right now – workplace drama or star-cross'd passion or fiery rebellion – people have been going through it for centuries. And should you find yourself unable or simply unwilling to suspend your disbelief – if the sight of Marie Antoinette's Chucks or the thought of Regency-era teenagers dancing to Taylor Swift is anathema to your filmic sensibilities – there's always the History Channel.

North Yorkshire's film-star castle set to earn its keep by hosting paying guests
Laurence Olivier's elderly Lord Marchmain in Brideshead Revisited died in it and a pair of hot young newlywed aristocrats in Bridgerton made out in it. Now someone with deep pockets may be able to occupy that same 18th-century canopy bed at Castle Howard. In the morning they might take breakfast in a room with Canaletto paintings on the wall and Meissen plates on which to butter their toast. The custodians of a place that is arguably England's grandest, most beautiful country house are considering next year bringing in high-end hospitality packages. It comes as the North Yorkshire house on Thursday revealed the results of a major restoration project, five years in the planning, which included updates to rooms, a rehang, a transformation of its Long Gallery and a fabulous recreation of a Tapestry Drawing Room destroyed in a fire in 1940. The house is already well known from being used in TV and film, including Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, the 1981 ITV series and the 2008 film Brideshead Revisited and more recently in Netflix's Bridgerton, where characters played by Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor turn a fake courtship into a blissful marriage. It has also been occasionally hired for private hospitality events such as Ellie Goulding's wedding reception. The idea of it being used as a kind of expensive, exclusive Airbnb would appear to be the next step. 'We've always referred to this as a living house,' said Nicholas Howard, a descendant of Charles Howard, the third Earl of Carlisle who commissioned the house in 1699. 'It's not a museum. And if you're going to call it a living house, you've got to make it a living house. And that involves having people in it.' There is also a more practical reason, said his wife, Victoria Howard, a former chief executive of HarperCollins. 'We need income for the next burnt-out room. We've got quite a few more.' Having people pay to stay is a likely project for next year, she said. 'We would probably do it no more than a couple of times a year because it would interfere with the day visitors.' Those day visitors number nearly 300,000 a year. They come to marvel at not only the notable architecture, conceived by Sir John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor, but to enjoy acres of sweeping parkland filled with lakes, fountains, statues, temples and pyramids. One of the bleakest moments in the house's history was the 1940 fire, which took place while it was being used as a wartime girls school. It destroyed Castle Howard's incredible dome and more than 40 rooms. The dome was restored by George Howard in 1962 and income from Brideshead Revisited allowed the reconstruction of the Garden Hall and New Library. The recreation of the lost Tapestry Drawing Room is arguably the star attraction of the latest restoration project. The tapestries were woven for the room in 1706 by John Vanderbank and depict the four seasons in scenes taken from the work of David Teniers. Luckily, when the fire happened they were not in the room. 'They had been on a sort of trek around the house to various places, each of which was more inappropriate than the last,' said Howard. Now they are back where they should be, in the newly restored and furnished room, for the first time in centuries. 'This is the first time I've seen them really because you can now get up close to them and that's important,' he said. 'You can see the detail. 'In some ways, I'm sort of getting to know them properly for the first time in my life, which is really nice.' The renewal project has not been without its difficulties along the way, not least the choice of painting to hang over the mantelpiece. 'I said that I felt it ought to be definitely some sort of classical scene, an allegory or a historical scene or whatever,' said Howard. Auction sites were scoured and the ideal painting was found in Barcelona – a work by the Italian baroque painter, Sebastiano Ricci. It was successfully bought. 'We then discovered that, actually, it had been sold from this house in 1991,' said Howard. 'For a lot less than we bought it for.' Castle Howard's 21st Century Renaissance opens to the public on 25 April.
