once upon a time, a signature file was thought to be limited to 4 lines - "bandwidth conservation society". recently, i ran across a signature file that contained a gazillion links to the author ... not including the email link. a friend's tweet about not wanting to be considered "1 dimenional" reminded me - we're all hyper dimensional beings in the 2.0 world !

Ran in to a graduate student from Cal the other day and got to talking about bicycles and smart cities ... which reminded me of the bicycle videos from Utrecht (Netherlands).

Reynaldo Hahn, Piano Quintet in f# minor

2009-10-14T03:54:00.000-07:00

Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947)
Piano Quintet in f# minor

Published by Edition Silver Trust with several sound bites -
http://www.editionsilvertrust.com/hahn-piano-quintet.htm

Hyperion Recordings performance by Stephen Coombs and the Chilingirian Quartet -
http://www.amazon.com/Hahn-Vierne-Quintets-Stephen-Coombs/dp/B00005QIT5

Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) today is primarily remembered as a composer of the operetta Ciboulette, but he did devote a fair amount attention to composing chamber music. Born in Venezuela, Hahn’s family moved to Paris when he was three. He studied at the Conservatory under Massenet who considered him a genius. Handsome and worldly, Hahn drew his friends from a much wider circle than other musicians, for example Marcel Proust and Sarah Bernhardt, and was greatly interested in the literary scene as well as the theater. Having a gifted voice and being an excellent pianist, Hahn needed no assistant for vocal concert evening. He was also a deft conductor who eventually directed the Paris Opera.

His Piano Quintet in f# minor dates from 1921. The big and highly dramatic opening movement of the three movement Quintet, Molto agiatato e con fuoco is, in a word, brilliant. How could music this attractive and exciting land in oblivion? In the moody, pensive and beautiful Andante non troppo lento, the merest whiff of Faure can occasionally be heard. Toward the end, a lovely vocal melody, briefly, like the sun pushing through heavy clouds, lightens the mood. The thematic material of finale, Allegretto grazioso is elegant and genteel and has an almost neo-rococo feel to it. The middle has a slighly more buoyant rondo and the coda slowly builds momentum to a very satisfying conclusion.

Lost Tokyo - Lost in a Moment - Lost Forever

2009-09-19T06:56:00.000-07:00

Grrr.

Last spring there were two especially nice impressionistic videos of Tokyo on YouTube ...

Lost in a Moment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySrsZuD4w0c

An impromptu film made in Tokyo by Dennis Wheatley and Stefan McClean. They were sitting in this sushi bar pondering how best to set up a camera to film things all by itself whilst they were in Tokyo. Take our hands out of the equation... let the camera have its own journey.

The music is 'lost in a moment' by 'shrift' from the album of the same name.
http://myspace.com/shriftspace

and

Entering Tokyo AT Night from Narita
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0MX3qOduQw

Alas, the copyright cops have gotten to the second one ... YouTube reports

This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

The video content was totally original; the soundtrack was appropriately ambient; but when YouTube pulled the video, they yanked reference to everything ... the poster information, the notes, the video, etc. And and they provide no public documentation of the complaint, the complainer, etc ...

Slowly, the same fate is closing in on the recording industry as a whole.

Car·natic (kär nat′ik)
region in SE India, between the Coromandel Coast and the Eastern Ghats

Carnatic music is melody based and not harmony based. In simple terms, this means that by and large, stress is placed on rendering one note at a time. Counterpoints or chords (where more than one note is heard at a time) are generally not used.

Andy Warhol Screen Tests: 1964 - 1966

2009-01-17T16:33:00.000-08:00

Warhol Screen Tests

From Warhol: Larger than Life opening in January 2008

Andy Warhol's Screen Tests were filmed from early 1964 - November 1966 (GM25). Factory visitors who had potential "star" quality would be seated in front of a tripod mounted camera, asked to be as still as possible, and told not to blink while the camera was running. These film portraits were some of the earliest examples of Warhol's Screen Test series. It is interesting to note that they were filmed in Edey's apartment prior to Warhol's move to the silver Factory where most, but not all, of the other Screen Tests were made. More than 500 Screen Tests were made. In addition to The 13 Most Beautiful Boys, some of the footage was incorporated into other compilation reels such as The 13 Most Beautiful Women (1964) and 50 Fantastics and 50 Personalities (1964). Malanga also used some reels in his multimedia poetry readings called Screen Test Poems in 1965. In 1966 Andy and Gerard also prepared a book together of Screen Test stills from 54 subjects (17 women and 37 men) and Gerard's poetry called Screen Tests/A Diary (NY: Kulchur Press, 1967).

Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (1958)

Cast: Jacques Charon, Robert Manuel

Review Summary
The classic 17th century Moliere comedy Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme isgiven respectful treatment in this 1958 filmization. Jean Meyer starsas the vulgar nouveau-riche protagonist, whose attempts to buy his wayinto the uppermost rungs of society provide plenty of knowing chuckles.The film was produced by the Comedie Francaise, then as now the world'sforemost purveyors of Moliere's best works. Star-director Jean Meyerdoes little to open up the play cinematic, filming the piece exactly aswritten, right down to "stage waits" for laughs. Would that someone hadfilmed the like-vintage American staging of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme,starring that incomparable Broadway clown Bobby Clark. ~ Hal Erickson,All Movie Guide

Quadrille Madness (European Quadrill Festival 2008)

Graduates Set New Guinness World Record in Quadrille Dancing
http://www.slovenia.si/whats_new/2007061411370108/

High-school graduates from Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia and Croatia broke a new Guinness world record in mass quadrille dancing, as the total of 42,060 graduates in 45 cities danced to the tune of Strauss' quadrille from the opera "Bat".

The greatest number of students danced in the capital, where almost 11,000 students packed the main Ljubljana throughfare to celebrate the last day of school. This year's Graduation Parade in Ljubljana was attended by MEP Borut Pahor, as it is organised as part of celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and is sponsored by the Office of the European Parliament and European Commission in Ljubljana. Last year, 23,628 graduates danced in the streets of 36 cities in Slovenia, Austria, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary. Mass quadrille dancing of high-school graduates, which saw 3,128 dancers, was organised in Ljubljana for the first time in 2001 by Urska dance school.

Voi che sapete
Che cosa è amor
|: Donne vedete
S'io l'ho nel cor :|

Quello ch'io provo
Vi ri diro
E per me nuovo
Capir nol so

Sento un affetto
Pien di desir
Ch'ora è diletto
Ch'ora è martir

Gelo e poi sento
L'alma avvampar
E in un momento
Torno a gelar

Ricerco un bene
Fuori di me
Non so chi il tiene
Non so cos'è

Sospiro e gemo senza voler
Palpito e tremo senza saper
Non trovo pace notte nè di
Ma pur mi piace languir cosi

Voi che sapete
Che cosa è amor
|: Donne vedete
S'io l'ho nel cor :| 3x

Attache Ta Tuque!

Ça faisait trois jours qu'j't'ais dans l'bois
J't'ais perdu avec Claude Dubois
J'survivais en mangeant des noix

J'ai cogné à une maisonnette
Où m'répondit une femme rondelette
Qui m'offrit 4-5000 omelettes

Je lui dis :
Wantchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
(BIS)

Après m'être bien rassasié
J'repartis avec mes souliers
Pour la belle région de Granby

Rendu là j'me fis un ami
Son nom c'était Gaston Landry
On a bu 4-5000 whiskys

En chantant :
Wantchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
(BIS)
Awignaan...

Après avoir dégrisé
Je mis le cap sur Duvernay
Où m'attendait ma chum Josée

Arivé dans ce quartier d'fous
Josée m'a pogné par le cou
Pis y m'ont fait caler comme un trou

J'ai crié :
Wantchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
(BIS)
Awignaan...

Là j'pense que j't'un peu trop paqueté
J'vas arrêter de voyager
J't'en train de m'scraper la santé

J'ai bu, j'ai mangé comme un fou
Ch'pu capable de me t'nir debout
J'pense que ma vie est terminée

Mais avant de mourir,

Mes dernières paroles furent :
Wantchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan
Tchikatan tchikatan tchikatan tan-tan

Depuis le début du siècle
Des gars courageux ont coupé le bois du Québec
Partaient à l'automne, passaient l'hiver dans des camps
Revn'aient voir leurs femmes quand arrivait le printemps.......

Les américains flairant la bonne affaire
Sont v'nus faire la piasse dans l'bout de Trois-Rivières
Ça va nous faire d'la job pour les Canadiens-Francais
Bâtissez vos usines pis nous on vous donne la forêt!

Pendant des années y'ont coupé comme des défoncés
La demande est trop grande pour s'qu'la forêt peut donner Mais cé pas ben grave y'ont des chums au gouvernement
Fa'qu'y sont r'montés au nord continuer la coupe à blanc...

Les Amérindiens ceux qui chassent de père en fils
Ont voulu leur parler y s'sont fait dire rentré chez vous
C'est pas avec vous autres qu'on va faire des bénéfices
Pour nous un caribou c'est ben plus beau sur un trente sous

Et le gars d'la compagnie rit dans sa barbe
C'est qui le con qui a dit que l'argent poussait pas dins arbres ?
Et le gars d'la compagnie rit dans sa barbe

[1] Radiohead - House of Cards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nTFjVm9sTQ

In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.

Directed by James Frost
From the album IN RAINBOWS

Étiquette: Xxi, Xxicd - 21598

http://www.matthieubelanger.com/

I’ll start with two anecdotes or, if you prefer, two somewhat eloquent variations on a theme.

It was about ten years ago, in that Vieux Québec record store that used to be called Musique d’Auteuil, when a jazz maniac called Bernard was still working there. I was browsing through the jazz section, not paying too much attention to the music playing. I recall identifying the tune as a contemporary reading of “Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Blue Silk”. I was still strolling around when the sound of a clarinet caught me off-guard. Since Charles Mingus’ music belongs to the universal repertoire now, and it could have been any musician in the world, except that to my ears...

“Isn’t this Matthieu Bélanger?” I asked Bernie, who was busy labelling a bunch of new CDs.

He handed me the jewel case.

“It just came out: Hommage à Mingus, by the Normand Guilbeault Ensemble...”

...featuring, among others, Matthieu Bélanger on clarinet. I could have bet!

A couple of weeks later, by a warm summer evening, I was on the highway, in Suzie’s sports car. I was scanning the FM band, looking for some digestible music, when once again a solo clarinet got me to tune into Radio-Canada’s now-defunct Chaîne culturelle. Puzzled, my sweetheart raised an eye-brow, just like Mr Spock. It could have been any musician in the world, except that to my ears...

“I’m pretty sure it’s Matthieu!”

Suzie and I kept listening to the virtuoso, as we waited for the radio host to confirm my guess. Fifteen minutes later, bingo. Again.

In jazz, everybody knows a great soloist must have his own style, his own unmistakable sound. Mathieu Bélanger is a great soloist. To verify that, one only has to listen to the records he made as a sideman in bassist Normand Guilbeault’s, pianist Yves Léveillé’s or vibes master Jean Vanasse’s bands, or the album he made as a member of the pop act Ann Victor. To my mind, he is one of the most exhilarating improvisers on the Montreal scene. I’ve had this belief since the first time I heard Bélanger at Café Sarajevo, where he used to come and jam with Lili’s Tigers, the house band led by my old friend from Université de Montréal pianist Anthony Rozankovic. At the time, I nicknamed him the “Mad Clarinettist”, as a comment on his prodigious technique, the intensity of his playing and his Coltrane-like volubility. I remember particularly well those unending solos, especially in the standard “Just Friends”, where Bélanger just kept blowing and blowing over the rhythm section’s steady groove, chorus after chorus, crescendo and diminuendo, never out of breath, never out of inspiration.

One can hear all those qualities in this debut album I’ve been expecting and demanding for a decade now. But, like great wine, Bélanger has gained in maturity – passing years and fatherhood must have had something to do with that, wouldn’t you say, my friend? Obviously, the clarinettist doesn’t feel he has to systematically dazzle us with virtuosity. The double influence of John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy (to whom homage is humbly paid in “Blues for Mr Dolphy”) is still audible, but as a distant echo of that noble lineage. With his new-found wisdom, Bélanger reminds us of the virtues of controlled freedom, and the secret intensity expected of passion’s embers, just like Wayne Shorter, another of the clarinettist’s role models.

Still, don’t fear: this newly-discovered moderation doesn’t exclude the occasional explosion, as in “Rollercoaster”, “Running for the Train” or on other tracks. However, this album provides us with the chance to get to know Bélanger as a composer who cares a great deal for harmonic nuances and as a songwriter: what a poignant homage he’s offered the Katrina-devastated birthplace of jazz with his tune “Wandering Souls of New Orleans”, brilliantly sung by blues veteran Bob Walsh. One even gets the opportunity to appreciate Bélanger as a generous leader, not interested in outshining his colleagues as much as willing to establish a rich and fruitful musical dialogue with them. Of course, it certainly helps when the said colleagues are as gifted as Wayne Smith on acoustic bass, Claude Lavergne on drums and, last but not least, the ravishing and talented Andrée Boudreau from whom I think we decidedly haven’t heard enough in the last few years. (And how about a follow-up to that first CD of yours, Andrée?)

To untrained or indifferent ears, most jazz albums sound alike. But if one listens closely to the music on this record, one has to agree that it wasn’t recorded by any other musician in the world.

There’s only one Matthieu Bélanger. And that’s the reason why we must appreciate him for his great worth.

Judy Henske

2008-06-14T12:10:00.000-07:00

Judy Henske (born in 1942, in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin) is an American singer and songwriter, once known as "the Queen of the beatniks".

She moved to California in the early 1960's, singing in coffee houses in San Diego and Los Angeles, and working with the likes of Lenny Bruce. Moving on to Oklahoma, she worked with ex-Kingston Trio member Dave Guard and the Whiskeyhill Singers, recording an album. After they disbanded she returned to Hollywood, gaining the attention of Jac Holzman and Elektra Records, for whom she made three solo albums.
The first of these highlighted her offbeat humour in her live performances; the second featured the song "High Flying Bird", a minor hit later covered by many bands of the era including the Jefferson Airplane. During this time she worked extensively as a solo singer in New York, working among others with Woody Allen (with whom she had a relationship - the character Annie Hall, born in Chippewa Falls, was allegedly inspired by her).

After a failed attempt in the mid-60's by Mercury Records to present her as an all-round entertainer, she returned in 1969 with her husband Jerry Yester, making the remarkable baroque / psychedelic folk album "Farewell Aldebaran" for Frank Zappa's Straight Records. The pair then formed a band, Rosebud, making a further album before they separated and Henske returned to domestic life with new husband, musician Craig Doerge. Henske returned to performing in the late 1990's, releasing two subsequent albums "Loose In the World" (1999) and "She Sang California" (2004).

Crime writer Andrew Vachss is a fan of Henske, and has promoted her music in some of his novels.

Lobster Quadrille

2008-05-17T11:00:00.000-07:00

Will you walk a little faster?" said...
Language: English

"Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail.
"There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle -- will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?

"You can really have no notion how delightful it will be
When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea!"
But the snail replied "Too far, too far!" and gave a look askance --
Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance.
Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance.

"What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied.
"There is another shore, you know, upon the other side.
The [farther]1 off from England the nearer is to France --
Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance.
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?"
