Sathima Bea Benjamin – Winnie Mandela Beloved Heroine

About Beloved Heroine in an interview with Carol Ann Muller in Musical Echoes:
“I wanted to write this song for Winnie [Mandela], because I absolutely identified with her,” says Benjamin. “I could feel her pain,” Benjamin writes of her subject’s “soft, gentle eyes reflecting those unshed tears”.

Hi everyone,

I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

Hope to keep interacting with you all!

Did you ever happen to sit on a table richly set with various yummy pieces of food but didn't know what to pick?

I'll set up this table in a musical way for ya all in

RADIO IRRTUM!

and guide you through the picking process ;)

--- ↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓ ---

The next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2026/05/09, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time/CET. On Alex Berlin at DAB+ K12D in #Berlin/Brandenburg and worldwide @ https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

A German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music. Don't worry about the #GermanLanguage aspect - this is about #music!

So what yummy music pieces are there? Something from...

- #neojazz
- #Bonkwave (or, well, maybe not?)
- dragging #triphop.py #Beatz
- Neo Cut Up #Turntablelism or call it #PlunderPhonics from Berlin
- innovative #Bristol #Bass
- dark #EBM Techno
- Glitchy #IDM Beatz from various sources
- #MusiqueConcrete based on recordings of animal #BoneFlutes
- A quieter hefty and large #Punk section will be there
- also #Trombone #Jazz

I will discuss various topics like the mysterious musical vibe place which exists independent of time + space. Or the danger of falling victim to a lust killer and suddenly die – especially in spring 🌺 .

Besides, there will be lots of #CreativeCommons content, cuz music wants 2b free. Lots of tracks played aren't on #Spotify - yes, this is not a music industry friendly place. And most important: I've got the cutest #FediArtists there are, if I may say that - like @SamanthaJaneSmith , @sixumbrellas or @[email protected] (under construction at da mo).

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here. Having questions? I'll gladly answer. Just ask. CU all on Saturday! :)


--- ↑↑↑ English version above, the Deutsche welche jetzt ↓↓↓ ---

Radio Irrtum! kommt näher → Samstag, 09.05., 20:00 isses soweit auf Alex Berlin (DAB+ K.12D / Stream URL oben).

Also die seltsam funke(ln)de Radiosendung, in der planetenumfassende Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforscht werden.

Mit:
- neojazz
- Bonkwave
- Beatz (triphoppy, cut up etc.)
- Bristol Bass
- dark EBM Techno
- IDM Glitches
- Musique Concrete mit Tierknochenflöteneinfluss
- ner großen heftigen Punk-Sektion
- Improvisiertem Posaunenjazz

Zudem werden interessante Themen behandelt, wie der geheimnisvolle musikalische Vibe Space. Oder die Gefahr – gerade jetzt im Frühling – plötzlich zu sterben, weil man Opfer eines Lustmordes wurde ⚰. Viele Sachen davon gibz nich auf Spotify, und Fediartists sind auch dabei (s.o.), und Creative Commons wird hier groß geschrieben. Yo.

Details in englisch oben, Playlist/Manuskript nach der Show hier drunter. Fragen einfach stellen – ich antworte!

Bis zur Sendung… vielleicht? :)
