Episode 14: October 2026

An experimental music legend, an unexpected feline guest and the sounds that stay with us from childhood. The Biennale Musica 2026 takes centre stage in this episode, with Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement recipient Keiji Haino, Invernomuto’s unusual installation and artists reflecting on the memories that shape their music.
At the Biennale Arte 2026, Nick Cave offers an insight into his extraordinary sculptures, while Robert Pattinson and director Lance Oppenheim take us into the world of Primetime, presented in Competition at the Venice International Film Festival.
And as In Minor Keys enters its final weeks, there’s still plenty to discover in Venice.

Music interludes between sections feature excerpts from works by the Biennale College Musica 2026 artists: Wyldie Bracewell, Talullah Calderwood, Lara Dâmaso, Andrea La Pietra, and alys(alys)alys.
