When the nest is emptying, make music
A Hāwea mother of three has found her second wind in the form of music and an album release. Every mother reaches a point in her life when her children are becoming less reliant and more independent. Farmer Anna Rowley is no exception. Mrs Rowley married into farming and has been in the area for about 20 years. Before that she studied a teaching degree at Lincoln and soon after left to live in a kibbutz in Israel, which was anything but the done thing at the time. "I was looking for a completely new experience, a different way of life, a different social structure." Mrs Rowley worked on a dairy farm there, milking and calf rearing — things she had never really done while living and growing up in New Zealand, although she is from a Canterbury sheep and beef farm. "Everyone works, they have a lot of business enterprises, rural-based was the original concept. Pure communist really. "I wanted a culture shock really and yes I got it. I made some good friends in a fascinating part of the world and I [had] a lot going on there." While she enjoyed the experience, the lifestyle was not maintainable and she missed some of the customs back home. "It made me appreciate that New Zealand has a very short history and it was an interesting experience but I wouldn't be able to live there permanently. "There is a natural hierarchy — even if you try make everything equal, there is still going to be a natural hierarchy." After living abroad, she came home and met her future partner Reuben. The couple had their first child when she was 28 years old. Since then, she has helped on the farm. Mr Rowley is the son of Tom Rowley, who formerly owned Lake Hāwea Station. The couple now farm 80 hectares and 200 cattle. Having reached the age of 47, Mrs Rowley has turned back to something deeply ingrained — her musical talent. "When I was at school I really enjoyed learning new instruments. I would switch and start learning a new one every couple of years." Her first instrument was the piano when she was 10, and she moved through the guitar, saxophone and oboe — a wind instrument similar to the clarinet. "That's when it started to stir up my musical instinct, learning to play pieces, really enjoying and connecting to the music and discovering what good music is." She has gone through parts of her life where she didn't have the time to pick them up, such as busy stages during motherhood. But she has reconnected recently by releasing an album on Spotify in 2021 — Radiate, and again this year, The Landing. "I missed the actual playing on the piano and fiddling around, it is a fun hobby for me. I always have been a song writer. I started when I was 15, I really enjoy that process of creating a song ... That moment of when sounds evolves into a song, it's captivating, satisfying and quite mysterious." Mrs Rowley has not played much live music through her life, and only recently had a gig with her sister and niece in Christchurch. She is bringing her talent home and playing in Wānaka this month. She said her acoustic folk-like sound was inspired predominantly by nature and the behaviour of people. "A lot of the inspiration comes from nature. There are a lot of good metaphors in nature for describing different situations in life and people. "I think I have always been a bit of a searcher, all artists looking to try and understand the world." She has recently taken up a new job gardening at Aspiring Village in Wānaka and hopes to release another album in time, now that her children are of high school age, and more independent. "It is a stage in life that I have found myself with more time and looking for a purpose and new project. Now that my children don't need me so much. I have indulged myself in parenting and glad I have music to pour my energy into. "To have done music for so long, I am becoming curious about songs that you listen to and really connect with and they move you in some way." What's on What: Anna Rowley and the Lanksters Where: Rhyme and Reason When: August 16, 7pm, $10

The Prodigy at Glastonbury review: 'band dedicate set to Keith Flint'
Tonight, the maestro behind the music Liam Howlett brought the noise and Maxim proved capable of holding a crowd without his old ally, Flint. After opening with Voodoo People, the energy was up and stayed up throughout songs like Omen, Radiate and Firestarter. The latter was an immediate Glastonbury 2025 highlight, with a sea of people on shoulders, more flares than perhaps any other crowd, and the song remixed without its usual vocal, instead using snatches of Flint's voice as an animation of him played on the screens. 'That went out to our brother, he's here with us tonight,' Maxim said.

Broadband Operator Radiate Gets More Cash, Revamps Debt Stack

The liquidity injection will be split across a second-out term loan and a third-out loan, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. The financing will pay-in-kind, which allows the cable provider to defer paying interest in cash and instead pay with additional debt, they said.

A Deeper Message Behind the Songs 'M.R.E' combines conscious hip-hop with spiritual introspection, so providing a relevant message of empowerment, resilience, and self-mastery with a fundamental theme urging listeners to go back to their inner selves and release their greatest potential. SupaNova claims, 'This single is an offering of encouragement to meditate, radiate positivity, and elevate consciousness.' It's about using your inner power to be the greatest version of yourself. Drawing from a Strong Past SupaNova Slom's most recent work is a logical progression of his musical and personal path. This new album emphasizes his identity as a 'hip-hop medicine man' following ventures such 'Love in the Mid of Chaos"—an experimental homage to his musical hero Prince—and 'Supa Mega,' which signified a return to his hip-hop beginnings. Signaling a full-circle point in his artistic development and a closer fit with his dedication to using music as a tool for healing and empowerment, 'Apocalypse'X' will be his first complete hip-hop and rap production since 2015's 'Mothership Music.'

Their combined efforts produce a sound experience meant to inspire, uplift, and resonate with wellness warriors all around. The album extends the project's reach into the core of the conscious music movement by including more collaborations with wellness artist Lizzy Jeff and conscious hip-hop luminaries Red Pillar and Blue Pillar. SupaNova's longtime production partner, Entrfied The God of Sound, also plays a key role in shaping the album's vibrant and layered sonic landscape. Empowering Wellness Warriors As a combat veteran, holistic wellness advocate, and healer, SupaNova dedicates this project to those working daily to heal themselves and uplift their communities. His music acts as a rallying cry for Spiritual Warriors and Wellness Warriors, emphasizing that real power comes from within. 'My goal is for the audience to be nourished and hyped up to fight for the best quality of life,' says SupaNova. 'Look inside, tap your power, and bring it forth.' Expanding the Mission Through The HekaH Music Group, the release of 'M.R.E' will be supported with stunning visuals, interactive online holistic events, and eventually live performances that combine music with wellness experiences.

All Tate Modern exhibitions will be free for loads of Londoners this weekend
How did you celebrate your 25th birthday? If I recall correctly, mine involved half a dozen pints, a couple of shots, a drunk Maccies on the night bus home and a monumental hangover the next day. But the Tate Modern is a hell of a lot more sophisticated that I was at 25, and its quarter-century celebration this weekend knocks my little pub gathering out the park. Featuring four days of free workshops, talks, participatory performances, live music and late night DJ sets, the massive weekender starts tomorrow, and the gallery has just announced yet more cool stuff happening across the weekend. Alongside already-announced DJ line-ups curated by some amazing London crews and collectives the gallery has revealed two huge headliners for its two late openings over the weekend. Friday's late opening spotlights south London's vibrant creative communities, and will feature a headline set from Romy. The xx member turned solo artist will be taking to the decks for a 2-hour DJ set from 10pm-midnight, with earlier sets curated by the likes of Peckham listening bar Jumbi and British Caribbean festival Radiate. Saturday night's festivities will see the gallery taken over by yet more cutting-edge artists and collectives, including a rare London set by Afrobeats station Cultur FM in the Tanks, featuring a headline set from BBC Radio 1 DJ Jaguar. Other DJs throughout the evening have been curated by South Asian creative collective Daytimers, female-fronted Peckham station Afro-Caribbean LGBTQ+party Queer Bruk and artist and DJ Crystallmess. The gallery will also be hosting a full day of activities beforehand, including live tarot readings as part of Meschac Gaba's Museum of Contemporary African Art exhibition and site-specific participatory installation Measuring the Universe. And best of all? Tate Modern has announced that all of its paid exhibitions will be free throughout the four-day celebration for members of the Tate Collective, its free-to-join scheme for 16 to 25-year-olds. If you, like Tate Modern, are lucky enough to be in your early twenties, you can sign up here to nab free entry to Leigh Bowery! and . If not, there's no better time to sign up for a Tate membership, with the gallery offering Lifetime Memberships for a limited time only, allowing art lovers to enjoy the gallery's fantastic programme of temporary exhibitions free of charge for the next 25 years.
