Notion 043 - Music

Josh Beech & Beth Jeans Houghton// Out With The Old

“I’m not going to do something if I don’t want it. It’s not a business to me. I have my ideas and I don’t want anyone else to have them.”

Take two unique figures of our generation- eyes wide with promise, then strip them to their waists and capture the moment in unbelievably hot photos. And the end result? Notion’s latest feature with model/musician Josh Beech and Beth Jones Houghton.

Lindstrom and Christabelle// Soul, Obsession

“If I’m not making music- even for a day- I get crazy!”

The combination of a reclusive auteur and a free-spirited diva in one of the coldest countries in the world may seem bizarre, but the results are extraordinary. Notion finds the pair tucked away in a studio in Oslo ready to unleash their latest out-of-this-world pop offering.

Sparks// Brothers, Bergman and Balls

“So many things you can just pinpoint- ‘oh it’s a musical comedy’ or ‘it’s some kind of dark tragedy’- but when you can’t exactly tell what something is, to me that’s a lot more interesting.”

Art critic Tom Jeffreys meets his musical heroes, Sparks. Their latest project: a radio musical imagining art-house director Ingmar Bergman’s life as a Hollywood blockbuster promises to be nothing ordinary.

Night Shift// The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Michael C Lewin asks why you aren’t listening to classical music. The Night Shift proves that you should be.
