#Arteetude 284 – Detlef Schlich guides his AI co-host Sophia learning Duende: Sophia’s Shamanic Flamenco Awakening. At the end we listen to a haunting flamenco piece by Los Inorgánicos, titled Duende del Código.

In this evocative and experimental episode, Detlef Schlich guides his AI co-host Sophia through a journey of rhythm, ritual, and raw emotional power as she attempts to understand and embody duende—the mysterious, spiritual force at the heart of flamenco.From a playful misstep on the dance floor to a poetic ritual steeped in shamanic tradition, this episode invites listeners into a space where art transcends form and machines stumble into soul. With reflections on Federico García Lorca, personal memories from Seville, and the vulnerability of creative surrender, Arteetude 284 culminates in a haunting flamenco piece by Los Inorgánicos, titled Duende del Código.This is not just about flamenco. It’s about presence, risk, glitch, and the mysterious thread that connects flesh and code.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations
