Selfmade Lego DJ Set (D.I.Y.)

2012-02-06T14:29:00.000-08:00

You need…

wood core plywood
wood glue
set of threaded bars, screw nuts, flat washers, anchor sleeves and plaster
woodscrews
elbows, big ones
Lego (approx. 1.400 pieces), new from the Lego online store. You can also buy used ones, but you won’t get the brighter colours (light green and orange) and new bricks really look way better
Total costs: approx. 400 Euros (500$).

Step 1
Planning, planning, calculating, planning. To take the measurement of the Lego case we recommend to build the ground structure out of Lego bricks you already posess.

Step 2
Cut the Wood core plywood in pieces you need or ask your carpenter to do it for you.

Step 3
Insert two little cut-outs. You need one at the front for attaching your headphones to the mixer and a second one to lead through the cables. After these steps each piece should be glued and screwed to the bottom board.

Step 4
Use elbows to reinforce every corner. Drill four holes in constant distances through the back, hold the corpus against the wall you are going to attach it to. Now you are able to mark the position of the holes you need to drill into the wall. Please make sure your wall is able to bear approx. 40 kg (88 lbs). You really need solid walls made of bricks.

Step 5
Drill four really big holes into the wall.

Step 6
Put anchorsleeves in the holes and fill them with plaster. You need to do that one by one and put the threaded bars in the plaster filled holes. Plaster bonds really fast.

Step 7
Wait until plaster is hardened (at least two hours) and put the DJ deck on the threaded bars. Put the flat washers on and fix the screw nuts.

Step 8
Put turntables and mixer in the right position.

Step 9
Build the Lego case using your favourite colours. You don’t need to glue the Lego. Don’t forget the little cut-outs!

Step 10
Put the Lego case around the wooden corpus (we nailed some of the plates on the upper side. You need to drill the Lego before nailing it to the wooden corpus) and put Lego tiles on top.

Soundmachines

2012-01-25T16:47:00.002-08:00

An instrument for performing electronic music
Three units, which are resembling standard record players, translate concentric visual patterns into control signals for further processing in any music software. The rotation of the discs, each holding three tracks, can be synced to a sequencer.
The Soundmachines premiered on the Volkswagen New Beetle stand at the IAA motor show in late Summer 2011. In cooperation with the sounddesigner/ producer Yannick Labbé of TRICKSKI fame, we developed three unique discs, each controlling one track of an Ableton Live Set exclusively made for the Event. The show was supported by a set of realtime generated visuals, running on a 25m wide LED wall.

Han Bennink on Cheese Kit Diptych (Walter Willems)

2012-01-20T08:19:00.000-08:00

Cheese Kit Diptych is an installation by artist Walter Willems consisting of two drum kits. In one, full rounds of real (mainly Dutch) cheese sit atop drum stands; in the other, plastic cheese replicas usually found in store display windows are employed. In this absurd setting Willems reinforces the international stereotype of the Dutch by using a classic Dutch export product as its main ingredient.

Cheese Kit Diptych was created specifically to be played by world-renowned Dutch improvisational jazz drummer Han Bennink. Bennink, ambassador of the Dutch free jazz scene, is known for his ability to drum on any surface, teeming with humor, virtuosity, and creativity through his animated style. Willems considered his installation incomplete until Bennink played both of the drum kits.

The drum performance by Han Bennink was recorded on June 17, 2005 at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art where the Cheese Kit Diptych installation was a featured artwork in the Demons Stole My Soul: rock 'n roll drums in contemporary art exhibition. As part of the performance Bennink also played a conventional drum kit and a pair of wooden shoes.

Directed and produced by Walter Willems.
DVD available at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto, Canada.

Anonymous downs government, music industry sites in largest attack ever

2012-01-19T19:42:00.000-08:00

Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the FBI, Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.
In response to today’s federal raid on the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers with the online collective Anonymous have broken the websites for the FBI, Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA, Motion Picture Association of America and Warner Music Group.
“It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.org,” Anonymous operative Barrett Brown tells RT on Thursday afternoon.

Only hours before the DoJ and Universal sites went down, news broke that Megaupload, a massive file sharing site with a reported 50 million daily users, was taken down by federal agents. Four people linked to Megaupload were arrested in New Zealand and an international crackdown led agents to serving at least 20 search warrants across the globe.

The latest of sites to fall is FBI.gov, which finally broke at around 7:40 pm EST Thursday evening.
Less than an hour after the DoJ and Universal sites came down, the website for the RIAA, or Recording Industry Association of America, went offline as well. Shortly before 6 p.m EST, the government's Copyright.gov site went down as well. Thirty minutes later came the site for BMI, or Broadcast Music, Inc, the licensing organization that represents some of the biggest names in music.
Also on Thursday, MPAA.org returned an error as Anonymous hacktivists managed to bring down the website for the Motion Picture Association of America. The group, headed by former senator Chris Dodd, is an adamant supporter of both PIPA and SOPA legislation.

Universal Music Group, or UMG, is the largest record company in the United States and under its umbrella are the labels Interscope-Geffen-A&M, the Island Def Jam Motown Music Group and Mercury Records.
Brown adds that “more is coming” and Anonymous-aligned hacktivists are pursuing a joint effort with others to “damage campaign raising abilities of remaining Democrats who support SOPA.”
Although many members of Congress have just this week changed their stance on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, the raid on Megaupload Thursday proved that the feds don’t need SOPA or its sister legislation, PIPA, in order to pose a blow to the Web.

Brown adds that operatives involved in the project will use an “experimental campaign” and search engine optimization techniques “whereby to forever saddle some of these congressmen with their record on this issue.”

Press Pause Play (David Dworsky, Victor Köhler 2011)

2012-01-16T22:09:00.000-08:00

"Art doesn't interest me. Artists do."
Marcel Duchamp

“ Una vida humana deviene consecuente no por lo que ha dejado atrás, sino porque actuamos e inspiramos la vida de otros, a la acción y la inspiración“
Goethe

Para muchos la revolución tecnológica es maravillosa, las herramientas con las que puede contar un artista en la actualidad facilitan sus procesos creativos y han hecho que casi cualquiera pueda crear música, hacer fotografía e incluso filmar su propia película.

La democratización del arte (todos hacen arte) no significa que todos gocen con las facultades y el talento para hacer cosas de calidad, que puedan ser reconocidas por todo el mundo, sin embargo las grandes industrias del arte que durante muchos años han sido alimentadas por el trabajo de los artistas, se tambalean estrepitosamente por su fragilidad económica actual.

Los procesos creativos se han simplificado gracias a la tecnología sin embargo el déficit de atención y la premura con la que se desarrollan los fenómenos artísticos, son el polo opuesto a la panacea tecnológica.

Press Pause Play (David Dworsky, Victor Köhler 2011), es una polaroid de la decadencia de la industria y el resurgimiento del “Do It Yourself“ como filosofía de creación e interacción con los demás, internet es la prueba de que los artistas se pueden comunicar con sus colegas en cualquier parte del mundo e intercambiar ideas y colaborar juntos.Un gran ejemplo de esta decadencia de la industria ,es la discográfica, se ha ido poco a poco desmoronado y ha dejado en manos de los actos en vivo y los fans , las ganancias económica, por ende los conciertos se han convertido en gran negocio

Muy interesante el debate que se desarrolla a partir de la premisa de la creación y las herramientas tecnológicas en este documental , existen múltiples aristas que han hecho que históricamente la tecnología siempre se haya vinculada al arte, es por ello que los escenarios y la industria del Arte, se irán modificando paulatinamente hasta que llegue a transformarse por completo y dejen de ser como los conocemos ahora.

Jerry Harvey

“The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one´s one“
Willa Cather

“Era como ver todos los días el Festival de Cannes,Berlín o Venecia.“
Robert Altman

Difícil encontrar un canal de televisión que no obedezca a los intereses creados por las grandes empresas y la publicidad. Que tenga programación interesante , que se arriesgue a no repetir una y otra vez las misma basura y se comprometa con su público.

Durante los años ochenta mucho antes que HBO ,Cinemax,Film&Arts y Sundance Channel entre otros hicieran lo que hacen ahora , existió un canal de televisión por cable, que creó todo un mito alrededor de su estupenda curaduría cinematográfica, este fue el “Z CHANNEL“ de Los Angeles , comandado por un obsesivo compulsivo y psicópata (diagnosticado ) llamado Jerry Harvey, quién comenzó a poner películas poco comerciales de cine de arte completas y sin cortes.

Z Channel, se volvió el único lugar de Los Angeles en donde se podía ver la obra de Kurosawa, Truffat, Peckinpah,Fellini,Bertolucci Antonioni,Visconti,Godard, Stone,Cimino, Leone, etc... transmitiendo por primera vez en televisión películas como “1900“ de Bertolucci o “Once upon of time in America“ de Sergio Leone con duraciónes de mas de 4 horas, completas y sin cortes.

“Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession“ (2004) es un estupendo documento realizado por Xan Cassavetes hija de John Cassavetes y Gena Rowlands, que nos cuenta la vida de Jerry Harvey y su trágico deceso, con testimonios de algunos directores como Sam Peckinpah (amigo personal de Harvey), Robert Altman, Jim Jarmush y Quentin Tarantino , que destacan la importancia de este canal por aportación a la escena del cine independiente arriesgado, de culto y a la difusión del cine de arte que cuenta con ningún o poco apoyo de la industria comercial incluso hasta nuestros días.

77 Boa Drums (Jun Kawaguchi 2010)

2012-01-09T09:47:00.000-08:00

“You can have sounds echo with your brain , and it feels good.So rather than listening to music, it´s like having these sounds ringing inside your head and yourself creating music. “
EYE (Bredoms)

La música como una experiencia extrema para sanar el alma , en un acto único e irrepetible que intenta elevarse al cielo en forma de espiral y perderse en el espacio. En Julio 7 de 2007 a las 7: 07 pm la banda japonesa de culto, Boredoms, comenzó una tradición numérica que involucra la repetición de dígitos en fechas y horas en conjunto con sus presentaciones experimentales en las que participan un gran número de percusionistas en este caso 77 .

El primer performance fue en la ciudad de New York y quedó documentado en el film “77 Boadrum“, largometraje de 77 min y 777seg de duración que nos muestra la logística del evento, cada uno de los sets de batería junto con sus ejecutantes y por último el histórico experimento liberador de energía, a partir del cual se ha repetido en 2008 y 2011 con algunas modificaciones dependiendo la fecha (88 Boa Drums , 111 Boa drums)

Hace un par de años tuvimos la oportunidad de ver Boredoms en México con un set de 4 baterías (4Boa drums) no comparable al del documento, sin embargo demoledor para las dimensiones del lugar donde se presentaron (Lunario), experiencia única verlos en vivo definitivamente.

Para aquellos que piensan que todo está escrito en la música, experimentos tan arriesgados como este son solo una pequeña muestra de que no existen límites para los lenguajes musicales.

77 BOA DRUM trailer from Thrill Jockey Records on Vimeo.

The Boredoms gave Australian fans their latest installment of their BoaDrum performances. This year, the experimental rock collective from Osaka, Japan celebrated 11/11/11 with one of their “astronomical annual numerical performances” entitled 111BoaDrum.

The Boredoms have been around for about two and a half decades. Though the members of the collective often switch due to the given demands of a particular experiment, their vocalist Yamantaka Eye has served as the band’s primary orchestrator. The Boredoms have been classified as noise rock, experimental rock, and Japanoise due to their diverse sound, but the common thread that ties their work together is an emphasis on minimalism and tribal percussion.
The band started this tradition of celebrating numerical symmetry with 77 Boadrum on 07/07/07. Since then, a percussive performance has followed each subsequent year in accordance with the proper calendar dates. Their installment of 111BoaDrum, which took place on Island Quarry in Byron Bay, Australia featured 111 drummers.
The current members of the Boredoms orchestrated the performance. The figure above illustrates the layout of the performance, in which a select few drummers occupied the center of the circle while cymbalers and cymbal leaders formed the circle’s outer rings. The video included below features Ponytail’s former member, Jeremy Hyman, warming up on a practice kit before his performance at 111BoaDrum.

HOW TO BUILD A SIMPLE AND CHEAP DREAMACHINE by Izzy (1981)

2012-01-03T18:05:00.000-08:00

HOW TO BUILD A SIMPLE AND CHEAP DREAMACHINE

by Izzy (1981)

Discoverers : BRION GYSIN and IAN SOMMERVILLE

The plan below is for a 78 rmp dreamachine. See below the drawings of the plan for the explainations for a 45 rpm dreamachine. It's different from Brion's plan as this dreamachine allows to get to different rythms inside the alpha band (7 to 13 flashes per second)

EQUIPMENT

- 1 record player working at the speed of 78 tours/minute,

- 1 big cardboard sheet, rigid enough for the future cylinder to stand up, and soft enough to be easily cut and worked; you can get sheets of different thickness and dimensions in an office stationery. Choose the darkest colour you can find as the cardboard must be opaque to the light of a 100 watts bulb.

1 graduate rule of 30 or 40 cm long,

1 set square,

1 thin lead pencil,

1 rubber,

cardboard glue,

1 cutter,

1 100 watts bulb,

1 lamp socket,

1 male plug,

electric lead (5 to 6 meters long),

1 multiplug,

1 tape measure to measure the circumference of the turn table of the record-player,

clothes pegs.

PRINCIPLE OF THE DREAMACHINE

To build a dreamachine, you need a cylinder with holes in it, fixed uppon the turntable of a record player turning at the speed of 78 tours/minute.

In the middle of the machine, one 100 watts bulb. When you seat in front of the machine, the light of the bulb must come in front of your closed eyes intermittently, according to a rythm from 7 to 13 light-flashes per second, which is the rythm of alpha waves of the brain.

For the effects, refer to "Colloque de Tanger", vol. 1, Christian Bourgois éditeur, or "Here to Go - Planer R 101", Brion Gysin - Terry Wilson.

BASIC CALCULUS

- The rythm of the light flashes is from 7 to 13 flashes/second.

- The turntable of the record-player turns at the speed of 78 tours/minute = 78 tours/60 seconds.

- In one second, the turntable makes : 78/60 = 1,3 tour.

- 1 flash correspons to a hole in the cylinder.

- 1 row of 6 holes (6 flashes) will give for every tour a rythm of 6x1,3 = 7,8 flashes/second

- 1 row of 7 holes : 7x1,3 = 9,1 fl/s

- 1 " " 8 " : 8x1,3 = 10,4 fl/s

- 1 " " 9 " : 9x1,3 = 11,7 fl/s

- 1 " " 10 " : 10x1,3 = 13 fl/s

The length of the cartdbord sheet must be equal to the circumference of the turntable. The dimensions of the plan are the ones of a Dual 1010 record player; the circumference of its turntable is 85,5 cm.

PROCEDURE

1. Measure the circumference of the turntable with the tape measure.

2. Transfer this dimension on the length of the cardboard sheet from the left side at the top and at the bottom of the sheet. Draw a line joining the 2 points, parallel to the width of the sheet.

3. Once the line is drawn, draw another one, parallel to the first one, 4,5 cm on the right far from it; this is to delimit a little band which, at the end of the operations, will be stuck to the left width to make the cylinder. With the cutter, cut the sheet along the second line. So the final length of the cardboard is : 85,5 cm + 4,5 cm = 90 cm.

4. At the top of the cardboard, on the right and left widths, measure 2,5 cm. Draw a line joining the 2 points. You get a band of 85,5 cm x 2,5 cm. Do the same at he bottom of the cardboard in drawing a band of 3 cm wide (see the drawing). The width between the 2 bands is 65,5 - (2,5+3) = 60 cm.

5. Now divide this width of 60 cm in 5 equal parts of 12 cm. Measure 5 times 12 cm on the right and left widths. Draw the lines joining those new points. You get 4 new lines, parallel to the length.

6. Now calculate the dimensions of the holes in every row. The upper row will contain the most numerous holes (10) and the row of the bottom, the less numerous holes (6), so the base of the cylinder is as solid as possible (see the plan of the cardboard of the cylinder).

a) Upper row :

* Divide this row in 10 equal parts : 85,5/10 = 8,55 cm

* Measure 10 times this dimension at the top and at the bottom of the upper row, in beguinning by the left.

* Draw the lines joining the new points : you get 9 parallel lines 8,55 cm far from one another (these lines will be in the middle of the holes) delimiting 10 rectangles of 12x8,55 cm.

* Take the plan of every hole : the line IJ represents the new lines you have just drawn. On this line IJ, measure 2 times 1,5 cm, from I and from J, so you get the points K and L. From these points, perpendicularly to IJ, measure the points A, B, C and D, 2 cm far from K and L. raw the lines joining A and B, B and D, D and C, C and A. The rectangle you get is the hole.

* Proceed the same way to get all the holes of the row. On the left width of this row, you only get half a hole. On the right side, at the end of the row, the last hole encroaches upon the band to stick; the second half of this hole will fit to the half hole on the left when you stick the cylinder, and this for every row. In other words, the left half hole and the hole at the right end of the row will make the same hole.

b) Second row :

It will contain 9 holes. Proceed as you did for the upper row, but divide the length of the cardboard by 9 : 85,5 / 9 = 9,44 cm. Proceed as before with this new demension and so for the other rows :

c) Third row :

8 holes : 85,5 / 8 = 10,62 cm

d) Forth row :

7 holes : 85,5 / 7 = 12,14 cm

e) Fifth row :

6 holes : 85,5 / 6 = 14,16 cm

Every hole has the same dimensions, whatever the row may be.

7. Once you have delimited all the holes, cut them with the cutter. Put the cut pieces of cardboard aside, you will need them later on.

8. Put the cardboard sheet upon the turntable in giving a cylindric shape to it. Temporarily fix the 2 widths the one on the other with clothes pegs. Make sure the base of the cylinder fits with the dimensions of the turntable and that the left half holes fit with the holes of the right width. Do not stick the edges yet.

9. If the turntable is covered with a rubber surface, delicately unstick the edges of this surface; you are going to use it to maintain the cylinder in position. If there is no rubber surface, take a thick piece of rigid cardboard and cut it according to the exact dimensions of the turntable. Make a hole in the middle, like a LP record, in introducing it in the axis of the turntable.

10. Go back to the cardboard sheet. Take the cut rectangles ABCD you had previously put aside, and solidly stick them at the bottom of the sheet on the width so you get little tongues to be fold and slipped perpendicularly under the rubber surface, to keep the cylinder upon the turntable. Put as many tongues as needed.

11. Your cylinder is ready. Stick the 2 widths one upon the other, maintaining the stuck band with the clothes pegs, in adapting them in the holes. Leave the pegs untill the cardboard and the glue are dry.

If the upper row is not perfectly circular, in cases the cardboard would fold over the holes, make the cardboard more solid in sticking the remaining little triangles ABCD inside the cylinder.

12. Then you adapt the cylinder on the turntable in slipping the little tongues under the rubber surface or the cardboard disc. The body of the dreamachine is ready now. If you turn the record player on, the cylinder must turn on the turntable in remaining solidly fixed.

13. Then you take the bulb, the lamp socket, the electric lead and the male plug. Fix the whole lot together.

14. Put the dreamachine on a stool, near a power point, let the bulb hang in the middle of the cylinder without it to touch the edges. Adjust the length of the lead over the dreamachine in the most adapted way to the room where you are (you can pass the lead in a hook screwed in the ceiling, make a bracket system, etc...). The length of the lead must be adjustable, so the bulb can be put in front of every row.

15. Plug the bulb, plug the record player, turn it on in setting it on the 78 tours speed. Sit comfortably in front of the machine and approach your face the closest you can. Close your eyes and watch : you get inside your head mlulticoloured geometric and stereoscopic 360° images, and lights, the colors, shapes and designs of which constantly changes. You can vary the images in increasing or lessening the pressure of your eyelids andd the distance between your face and the machine and in experimenting the different rows.

A record has been specially made to be listened to while watching the dreamachine, its rythm is the same as the light flashes: "Heathen Earth", Throbbing Gristle (International Records), best in stereo with a headphone.

“Music is a dialectical memory game , it is history with a heart beats“

“Rhythm is remembering , just don't; mess top the meter“

“Rhythm is a way to transmit a description of experience
it is more than metaphor
It is a Physical experience as real as any other“

Para nadie es un secreto que varios de los grandes “beats“ del hip hop, vienen de las clásicas baterías del jazz,es por eso que
“Keep In Time Live Recording“ , es un fabulosos experimento documentado , que involucra a cuatro grandes baterías de jazz, que nunca habían tocado juntos, como son Roy Porter (alguna vez batería de Charlie Parker y de Eric Dolphy), Paul Humprey ( batería de Frank Zappa y Marvin Gaye entre otros y famoso por la sesión histórica con Jimmy Smith en “Root Down“), James Gadson y Earl Palmer (multi referenciado dentro del mundo del hip hop).Estos percusionistas del jazz , se fusionan con Djs y productores de hip hop de la talla de Cut Chemist, Babu, J.Rocc, Madlib, Nu-Mark y Shortcut para hacer una mágica noche de break beat e improvisación en El Rey Theater de Los Angeles.

How to pirate a vinyl record

2011-12-30T17:12:00.000-08:00

Submitted by SynthGear on August 8, 2010
Here’s a great DIY method to copy a vinyl record, making a copy that you can actually play on a turntable. The German website Zeit.de had this article up in German, however it’s now unavailable, and only available via archive.org.
Here it is in it’s full form, translated into English:
Step 1
Nail together four 36.5cm-pieces of wood to create a frame and put it on a glass plate. Seal off the edges using caulking, and make sure everything is completely airtight.

Step 2
Take the record that you want to copy and put it into the box, making sure that the side that you want to copy is facing upwards. Squeeze in some caulking or insert a dowel to mark where the hole in the record is.

Step 3
Mix silicone rubber (Smooth On OOMOO 30 or OOMOO 25) for about 3 minutes..

Step 4
Pour the silicone rubber mixture into the mold. start from one corner, and fill the mold until it is about 5mm deep. Make sure the that surface is even, and let it dry overnight.

Step 5
Peel off the silicone from the cast and cut off the excess.

Step 6
Pour on some casting resin (eg Smooth On Task #4) on top of the silicone cast.

Step 7
Make sure that you don’t have anything spill over the round form. You can also brush off any air bubbles that might occur.

Step 8
Carefully loosen the plate from the silicone form. Using a drill press, bore a hole through the center of the plate (this doesn’t need to be done if you used the appropriate sized dowel).

Finished.

You can keep using the silicone form and make multiple copies. Definitely a darn fun DIY project.

Record grooves under an electron microscope.

2011-12-30T11:39:00.000-08:00

Submitted by SynthGear on February 17, 2010
Chris Supranowitz is a researcher at The Insitute of Optics at the University of Rochester. Along with a number of other spectacular studies (such as quantum optics, trapping of atoms, dark states and entanglement), Chris has decided to look at the relatively boring grooves of a vinyl record using the institute’s electron microscope. Well, not boring for me.

From what I read, it’s not just a simple matter of sticking a record under a fancy microscope, as there is a lot of preparation (such as gold-sputtering the surface) and post-processing to be done. Having said that, the results are very cool:

Here is a shot of a number of record grooves (the dark bits are the top of the grooves, i.e. the uncut vinyl)

Here’s the grooves closer up – the little bumps are dust on the record:

And here’s a single groove even closer still, magnified 1000 times:

Chris also did the pits in a CD – here’s what they look like, just for contrast:

Chris decided to take the whole electron microscope image one step further, and created a blue/red 3-dimensional image of the record groove! So, if you have a pair of 3D glasses (sorry, the ones you got from watching Avatar won’t work – you need red on the left, blue on the right), throw them on and take a look at this amazing picture:

Punk in Indonesia

2011-12-19T14:47:00.000-08:00

"-Punk is ,the personal expression of uniqueness that comes from the experiences of growing up in touch with our human ability to reason and ask questions.
-Punk is a movement that serves to refute social attitudes that have been perpetuated through willful ignorance of human nature.
-Punk is, a process of questioning and commitment to understanding that results in self-progress, and through repetition, flowers into social evolution.
-Punk is, a belief that this world is what we make of it, truth comes from our understanding of the way things are, not from the blind adherence to prescriptions about the way things should be.
-Punk is, the constant struggle against fear of social repercussions"

Punk Manifesto(PHD.Greg Graffin, Bad religion´s front man)

Police shave mohawks off punks at Indonesia concert

BANDA ACEH, INDONESIA—Police in Indonesia’s most conservative province raided a punk-rock concert and detained 65 fans, buzzing off their spiky mohawks and stripping away body piercings because of the perceived threat to Islamic values.

Dog-collar necklaces and chains also were taken from the youths before they were thrown in pools of water for “spiritual” cleansing, local police chief Iskandar Hasan said Wednesday.

After replacing their “disgusting” clothes, he handed each a toothbrush and barked “use it.”

The crackdown marked the latest effort by authorities to promote strict moral values in Aceh, the only province in this secular but predominantly Muslim nation of 240 millikn to have imposed Islamic laws.

Here, adultery is punishable by stoning to death. Homosexuals have been thrown in jail or lashed in public with rattan canes. Women are forced to wear head scarves and told, please, no tight pants.

It’s not clear why police decided to hone in on punks.

Though pierced and tattooed teens have complained for months about harassment, Saturday’s roundup at a concert attended by more than 100 people was by far the biggest and most dramatic bust yet.

Baton)wielding police scattered fans, many of whom had travelled from other parts of the sprawling archipelagic nation to attend the show.

Hasan said 59 young men and five women were loaded into vans and brought to a police detention centre 30 miles (60 kilometres) from the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.

They would spend 10 days getting rehabilitation, training in military-style discipline and religious classes, including Qur’an recitation, he said.!20Afterward, they’ll be sent home.

Twenty-year-old punker, Fauzan, was mortified.

“Why? Why my hair?!” he said, pointing to his cleanly shaven head. “We didn’t hurt anyone. This is how we’ve chosen to express ourselves. Why are they treating us like criminals?”

The women, some in tears, were given short, blunt bobs.

Hasan insisted he’d done nothing wrong.

“We’re not torturing anyone,” the police chief said. “We’re not violating human rights. We’re just trying to put them back on the right moral path.”

However, Nur Kholis, a national human commissioner, deplored the detentions, saying police have to explain what kinds of criminal laws have been broken.

“Otherwise, they violated people’s right of gathering and expression,” Kholis said, promising to investigate.

Aceh — where Islam first arrived in Indonesia from Saudi Arabia centuries ago — enjoys semiautonomy from the central government.

That was part of a peace deal negotiated after the 2004 tsunami that killed 170,000 people in the province convinced both separatist rebels and the army to lay down their arms. Neither side wanted to add to people’s suffering.

Some local governments in other parts of the country — which has seen tremendous changes with lighting-speed economic growth and modernization since the ouster of longtime dictator Suharto one decade ago — also have tried to ban “immoral” behaviour, like drinking alcohol, gambling and kissing in public.

They’ve met with limited success, however, largely because most of the country’s 200 million Muslims practice moderate forms of the faith.

The Celebrated Filmmaker and Designer Olympia Le-Tan Co-create a Tale to Pierce the Heart

Designer Olympia Le-Tan's embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze’s tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of iconic first-edition book covers. "It's such a beautiful and romantic place,” offers Le-Tan of the antiquarian bookstore. "The perfect setting for our story!” The project started after Jonze asked for a Catcher in the Rye embroidery to put on his wall and the plucky Le-Tan asked for a film in return. Enlisting French filmmaker Simon Cahn to co-direct, the team wrote the script between Los Angeles and Paris over a six month period, before working night and day animating the 3,000 pieces of felt Le-Tan had cut by hand. “I love getting performances from, telling stories about and humanizing things that aren’t human,” said Jonze of working with Le-Tan’s characters. After spending five years adapting Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are, Jonze’s recent shorts include robot love story I’m Here and an inspired G.I. Joe-starring video for The Beastie Boys. “A short is like a sketch,” he says. “You can have an idea or a feeling and just go and do it.” Here the iconic director reveals his creative process to writer Maryam L'Ange.

How did the film come about?
I met Olympia in Paris through friends of mine. She was just starting to make the bags for her friends. She had a bunch of the scraps in her bag, all of the cut-out pieces of felt. I just loved it. I loved all the artwork she picked, the texture of it, the stitching of the felt. We joked about making a film and just went for it. It was this thing with no schedule, no pressure and no real reason to be—other than just that we thought it would be fun.

Did you write the story together?
Yeah we did. We would look at all the artwork over lunch whenever we would be in the same city, noting any ideas that would just make us smile. It was done like that, with no real plans.

What’s your creative process?
You just start with what the feeling is. For this one the feeling definitely started with the handmade aesthetic and charm of Olympia’s work. Instantly I had the idea of doing it in a bookstore after-hours, imagining the lights coming down and these guys off their books. Me and Olympia both wanted to make a love story, and it was fun to do it with these characters. It evolved naturally and it all just started with the feeling. From there you entertain yourself with ideas that excite you.

Do you go with your gut instinct?
If it cracks me up. We were talking about the skeleton coming off his book and the girl in the Dracula book waving at him. Olympia is someone who is just absurd, she’s used to just saying anything. She just started making the blowjob gesture as a joke to make us laugh but I was like, “We’ve got to do that.” It’s about taking things that could just be a joke while brainstorming and actually going for it and using it.

What inspires you?
People inspire me. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim [from Opening Ceremony] and the confidence and creativity in how they run their business. Pixar’s really inspiring, they make films in the best possible way. They’re always focused on story. I could list a million people that inspire me all the time. David Bowie’s music, Charlie Kauffman, David Russell. A lot of people that I work with too, just conversations I have with them about what we want to do.

Dr.Lakra (Museo de la Ciudad de México)

Fotos Ernesto Rivera Planter

Artista del tatuaje y músico por afición, Jerónimo Lopez ramírez, mejor conocido como Dr. Lakra, es hijo del genio oaxaqueño Francisco Toledo y de Elisa Ramírez Castañeda, y ha llegado a ser uno de los artistas contemporáneos mexicanos mas reconocidos mundialmente.
Ayer por la noche , el Museo de la Ciudad de México inauguró una exposición (la más grande hecha por Lakra en nuestro país) que ha visitado varios museos por todo el mundo y que cuenta con una colección del museo de arte contemporáneo de Boston y de algunos particulares.

Dr.Lakra basa su estilo en lo que mejor sabe hacer, los tatuajes, e interviene ,pinturas,objetos,fotografías etc.. con un estilo tribal lleno de tatuajes. Una magnífica exposición muy representativa de lo que este artista hace y es muy recomendable visitarla.

A continiación una fragmento de Entrevista de Gabriel Orozco a Dr.Lakra en La Jornada

Dr. Lakra* (Gabriel Orozco)

Gabriel Orozco: Vamos a hablar de tus viajes.

Dr. Lakra: Sí. A finales del 89 fui a Berlín, estuve como tres meses y luego regresé al taller de los viernes en Tlalpan. Ese viaje fue muy importante, fui con Katia.

–¿Por qué fue importante? ¿Ahí entraste en el mundo del tatuaje?

–Sí, me di cuenta que podía vivir de hacer tatuajes y que podía vivir escuateando. Unos meses antes acababan de tirar el muro de Berlín, había miles de edificios vacíos. Tenía muchas ganas de estudiar y también de ser pintor. Creo que después de haber estado en el taller definí que quería ser artista, pintor.

–¿El taller de los viernes te metió la espina?

–Como que el taller me ayudó a aclarar mis ideas hacia lo que quería ser y hacer, además de que siempre me gustó dibujar y pintar.

–¿Es en el taller dónde empezaste a pintar? De hecho, ahí hiciste tus primeras telas ¿verdad? Me acuerdo que en ese momento empezaste a agarrar el pincel y los colores, aunque tu trabajo era muy gráfico, ahí comenzaste a embarrar colores.

–Sí. Cuando estuve en Alemania vi una retrospectiva de Otto Dix, recuerdo que me impresionó mucho, era de su época dadaísta.

–¿Después de que terminó el taller, a qué te dedicaste?, ¿en qué andabas?

–Pues Katia y yo decidimos regresar a Alemania a finales del 91. Nos quedamos dos años y medio, nos llevamos a su hija Ixchel. Tratábamos de vivir allá, como un proyecto de vida más en serio.

–¿Y qué hacías para vivir?

–De esto, de aquello.

–¿Hiciste de todo?

–Sí, de todo.

–¿Mesereaste?

–No, porque no hablaba alemán. Katia sí trabajó como mesera, creo que la contrataban por ser chava, exótica, guapetona y hablaba inglés. Hice de todo, hasta limpié restaurantes.

–¿Qué otras cosas hacías?

–En algunas ocasiones robaba libros antiguos y los vendía por ahí.

–¿En serio? ¿Dónde los robabas?

–En un extremo de la ciudad y luego los vendía en el otro.

–¿Los robabas de las librerías?

–Sí. Otros me los encontraba. En esa época en Berlín había desvanes llenos de tesoros. De repente te podías encontrar una biblioteca completa de un médico, libros de medicina cabronsísimos, estaban en cajas a punto de ser aventados a la chimenea. Los rescataba y los iba a vender, me daba cuenta que valían un chingo. No sé, como que en esa época había mucha basura en Alemania, todavía, yo creo. Por ejemplo, una vez en un container, encontré un abrigo de mink y en otra ocasión encontré una videocasetera, que en ese momento era un artículo de súper lujo. Me acuerdo que había una casa adonde íbamos a hablar por teléfono, era increíble, eran unas oficinas, tenías que entrar por un departamento que le habían hecho un hoyo en el techo, parecía como una escultura. El hoyo servía para acceder por el techo, entrabas a otro edificio que estaba cerrado, dabas una vuelta, subías unas escaleras y llegabas a otras oficinas donde había un teléfono. Ahí encontrábamos a varios latinoamericanos hablando por teléfono gratis, y pues tenías que esperar horas. Mientras tanto Katia y yo íbamos a recorrer el edificio, había un chingo de casas que estaban como si las hubieran habitado ayer. En el momento que se abrió el muro se fueron con lo que traían puesto.

–¿En Berlín tatuabas un poco?

–Sí, ahí fue donde empecé a cobrar por hacer tatuajes.

–¿Quién te enseñó a tatuar? ¿Fue en México que aprendiste?

–Ora’ sí que nadie me enseñó. El Piraña era muy celoso de lo que sabía, no decía nada, realmente me enseñaba lo mínimo y eso porque era mi cuate y le conseguía clientes fresas. Luego conocí a otros güeyes como el Aguarrás, el Walter, y un güey que vivía en la Quiñonera fue el que realmente me enseñó a usar la máquina. Yo sabía cuáles eran los ingredientes que debía utilizar, pero no sabía hacer el caldo, no sabía cómo se ponía en la máquina para que funcionara bien o calibrarla para que quedara perfecta.

–¿Qué es lo más difícil de hacer tatuajes?, ¿el pulso?

–No. Más bien es entender lo que la persona quiere. Me gusta que hay una hermandad que se forma, porque estás marcando a una persona de por vida y el resultado no importa, por eso no es difícil.

–¿Tu papá te ha enseñado sobre la manera en la que trabaja? ¿Has aprendido con él?

–No, no realmente. Lo intentamos pero nunca se hizo esa relación. En la época del taller, que fue cuando dejé la escuela y me puse a pintar más en serio y asistir a varios talleres, él intentó un acercamiento profesional conmigo, lo hizo contratando una modelo para que la dibujáramos, pero como que no funcionó. En esa época yo estaba bastante peleado con él.

–¿Cuánto tiempo duraron peleados?

–Como 10 años, hasta que nació Panchito.

–¿Hasta que nació Panchito? ¿O sea que fue el primer nieto el que los unió?

–Sí, más o menos, aunque también el hecho de ir a vivir a Oaxaca nos acercó. Comenzamos a tener más comunicación. Antes de eso era caerle en su casa y pelear y eso le cagaba.

–¿Te interesa hablar de la razón por la cual se pelearon? ¿La tienes clarísima?

–Sí. Hubo un hecho que detonó nuestro pleito.

–¿Cuál fue?

–Pues, le robé unos cuadros para venderlos, eran unas acuarelas.

–Lo recuerdo. Me lo contaste entonces. Eso lo ha de haber ofendido muchísimo.

–Claro, pero eso fue el detonador, la relación entre nosotros ya no era buena desde antes.

–¿Por qué crees que la relación comenzó a dañarse?

–Pues porque a mí me gustaba el rock, el desmadre, porque andaba con una chava mucho más grande que yo. Él quería que yo fuera arquitecto, doctor, o quizá senador.

* Fragmento de una conversación entre Dr. Lakra y Gabriel Orozco, una plática personal entre amigos sobre arte, familia, viajes, experiencias y opiniones. El texto acompaña el catálogo que incluye 120 imágenes con la obra del artista Jerónimo López Ramírez, el cual comenzará a circular en librerías esta semana.

“I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport.“
Tony Hawk

Siete Capas de madera son con las que cuenta una tabla para patinar, que servirá para deslizarse y hacer trucos por toda la ciudad.La cultura del “skateboarding“ en todo el mundo ha crecido de forma distinta y según su contexto. A partir de su creación en California en los años 60, el “skateboarding“ hijo del surf,ha invadido con su filosofía, que involucra algo mas que solo una tabla de 4 ruedas o las rampas y bowls, y ha llegado a ser reconocido como un estilo de vida artístico, que involucra música, pintura,literatura,fotografía, cine etc...

En una pequeña sala del Museo de Arte Moderno de la ciudad de México, se ha querido contar un poco sobre la historia de esta cultura en nuestro país ,reuniendo parafernalia representativa de su desarrollo, durante los últimos 20 años por lo menos . Dicha parafernalia involucra , tablas diseñadas por artistas nacionales de marcas mexicanas, fotos de conocidos patinadores y una serie de revistas “Reskate“ , pionera del deporte durante finales de los ochenta y principios de los noventa, quién junto con Paco Manzanares líder de la revista y su documental “Skater“ (también en la exposición) han contado partes importantes de la historia de esta cultura en nuestro país.

Aunque un poco tarde, (la primera expo de skateboard se realizó en Casa del Lago hace ya 3 o 4 años atrás) y tal vez influidos por el “boom“ mundial, siempre es bueno que las instituciones culturales establecidas reconozcan una cultura que lleva mas de 40 años dentro de la contracultura y la transgresión.

Poem of Zack de la Rocha to Ocuppy movement...Occupy Album&Musicians

2011-11-16T15:00:00.000-08:00

“This poem is dedicated to the Occupy movement whose courage is changing the world. Stay Strong. We are winning.”
Zack de la Rocha

The beginning spills through city veins
Into the arteries
And under powers poison clouds
We move like the shadows
Through the alley ways
Through nightmares bought and sold as dreams
Through barren factories
Through boarded schools
Through rotting fields
Through the burning doors of the past
Through imaginations exploding
To break the curfews in our minds
Our actions awaken dreams of actions multiplied
A restless fury
Once buried like burning embers
Left alone to smolder
But together stacked under the walls of a dying order
All sparks are counted
Calloused hands raised in silence
Over the bonfire of hope unincorporated
It’s flame restores tomorrows meaning
Across the graveyards of hollow promises
As gold dipped vultures pick at what is left of our denial
And the youngest among us
Stare at us stoned like eyes determined
And say
Death for us may come early
Cause dignity has no price
At the corner of now and nowhere
Anywhere
Everywhere
Tomorrow is calling
Tomorrow is calling
Do not be afraid

Algunas veces dar un vistazo rápido a una fotografía, puede resultar poco confiable, para los que no acostumbran observar detenidamente , los múltiples trucos visuales que se pueden utilizar para engañar nuestros sentidos resultan muy ingeniosos.

En este sentido, la fabulosa obra del camaleónico artista chino, Liu Bolin, mejor conocido como “el maestro del camuflaje“ o “el hombre invisible“, reconocido por mimetizarse con su entorno, logra su cometido.

“When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream.”

“Sometimes it`s better to have less money (for budget) and more freedom“.
Michel Gondry

Una faceta poco conocida del talentoso director francés de cine , video y comerciales, Michel Gondry, es la de dibujante de comics, su primer novela gráfica “We lost the war but not the battle“ nos mostró sus dotes de artista gráfico que desde niño ha desarrollado.

Para su mas nuevo proyecto, un “film-book“, llamado “My New New York Diary“, con la ayuda de Julie Doucet, desarrolla un experimento muy interesante , un proyecto gráfico cinematográfico que incluye un dvd y un comic.Sin duda Michel Gondry no solo es un estupendo directo si no también un buen dibujante.

Adiós Tomas Segovia...(1927-2011)

Tomás Segovia en Madrid. (1 mar 08) Foto: JB

"...El susurro del viento errante por la noche
que trae de los trasfondos la efusión solitaria
del tumulto callado de las cosas..."
Tomas Segovia

Hay que cerrar con llave la casa atareada
Al modo de quien deja encerrada su ropa
para entrar en el mar
Hay que venir sin nada
A mojarse el cabello en el silencio
A mirar todo esto pero dejarlo estar
Los árboles que instauran la lentitud del tiempo
Que luego rasgan con agudos picos
Los presurosos pájaros siempre asomados
Hay que no pedir nada
A tantos seres vivos cada uno en lo suyo
Como si hubieran de dejar bien claro
Que cumplen a conciencia su tarea
Como queriendo dar todas las pruebas
De una fidelidad meticulosa
No sabría decir para quién pues bien veo
Que para mí no es.

“Lluvia estival“

En la apartada noche ya sin nadie,
tibia, agitada, leve cae la lluvia,
sola para sí sola.

Íntima bailarina por la noche,
misteriosa, alocada,
gime allá, vuela, ahoga aquí una risa,
caprichosa musita, se interrumpe,
juguetona, inquietante,
viene y va, calla, desde lejos torna
con sonreídas lágrimas,
va a decir algo que en suspiro muere.

Y huyendo con susurros
y voces de sirena,
deja en el aire un mórbido perfume
de amor difunto en punzante recuerdo,

y en el alma el errático, incurable,
secreto amor de todas las derivas...

Another Day in America ...(DELUSION:Laurie Anderson , Bellas Artes 7/Nov/2011)

2011-11-07T21:01:00.000-08:00

“They say you die three times,” goes one passage, “once when your heart stops, again when your body is buried or cremated, and then the last time someone says your name...”
Delusion (fragment, Laurie Anderson.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are“

Delusion:engaño,auto engaño,falsa opinión, creencia errónea...

Poesía audiovisual , la música como experiencia de vida, eso es DELUSION, espectáculo de Laurie Anderson lleno de historias humanas y filosóficas, que enfrentan al espectador como un espejo.

Hablar de Laurie Anderson es hablar de toda una leyenda e institución dentro de la escena artística de New York y que al paso del tiempo y con su unión con otra figura iconica como lo es Lou Reed (cosa que no le sumó nada a su magnifico trabajo artístico, solo lo complementó), ha sabido sufrir las metamorfosis pertinentes en su trabajo y lograr estremecer con sus presentaciones en vivo.

Una vez mas la suerte jugó de mi lado y de manera fortuita me encontré de frente en el espejo de “Delusion“, reflexionando sobre las magníficas historias que de voz de Anderson nos envolvieron durante mas de una hora en una vorágine de sentimientos encontrados, fabulosa experiencia.

Las historias que puede contar un músico de rock , en la que las giras de su banda son por todo el mundo y duran varios meses, puede ser una experiencia realmente interesante.

Nick Zinner , guitarrista del grupo newyorkino , The Yeah Yeah Yeah´s , ha registrado con su cámara fotográfica , detalles que explican algunas de esas historias fantásticas de viajar y tocar por todo el mundo.

“1001 Images“ es la nueva exposición fotográfica de Zinner, quién cuenta ya con tres libros de foto,( uno de ellos con introducción escrita por Jim Jarmusch) , estará presentándose en la Vice Gallery , ubicada en la colonia Roma, en las calle de Mérida 109,

La habitaciones en los hoteles de la gira ,crean un mosaico de imagenes que evocan la experiencia de vida de un músico que suele ver los pequeños detalles dentro de los grandes eventos, escenas de conciertos, en las que los rostros del público se pierden en la multitud son solo algunas cosas que se pueden ver en la exposición.

A la par de está exposición , podemos encontrar el trabajo fotográfico de Toni Francois, quién es muy conocida en el ámbito de los conciertos en México y su trabajo no necesita mayor presentación que lo que se puede ver en su web page, ya que ha logrado captar momentos catárticos dentro de cientos de presentaciones en vivo de los mas diversos grupos y generos.

“The history of black music , is a history of embattlement in a hostile, racism enviroment and term “jazz“ come to signify the struggle for freedom and dignity ...“
Miya Masaoka

Durante mucho tiempo la música negra o afro americana no tuvo el reconocimiento merecido en justo valor por su aporte en el panorama cultural mundial, problemas socio políticos y racistas la relegaban a los ghettos y comunidades marginales.

Comocí esta revista gracias a un ilustrador de patinetas llamado Ian Jhonson (http://ianmjohnson.com ) quién suele ilustrar las tablas con músicos de jazz o soul y quién mas de una vez a ilustrado las páginas de esta publicación.

Wax Poetics es un proyecto especializado en la cultura afroamericana y varias de sus vertientes. Cuenta con una revista que difunde ideas y conceptos musicales de artistas emblemáticos para diferentes géneros como el blues, el soul, el jazz, el funk,afro beat, dub y el hip hop entre muchos otros, también cuenta con un sello discográfico y una editorial. Importante conocer los históricos caminos que han transitado desde los primeros Griots en Africa hasta el Hip Hop en New York.

Hace algunos días , adquirí el primer libro de una colección llamada “Labels Unlimited“sobre una disquera independiente que desde su fundación en 1990 ha marcado tendencias musicales por la selección de artistas que ha hecho, la británica Warp Records.

Black Dog Publishing se ha dado a la tarea de hacer esta interesante serie sobre las historia de disqueras independientes en las que incluye a Ninja Tune (en su 20 aniversario) ,Ace records y Rought Trade, el primer sello D.I.Y. (do it yourself) en grabar bandas punk como los Buzzcocks y posteriormente algunas otras importantes como The Smiths o The Libertines.

Colección elemental para conocer mas sobre la historia de algunos de los sellos musicales independientes mas importantes de los últimos años.

Live From the Shadowsphere:Dj Shadow (Premier,29 Oct 2011)

2011-10-30T13:07:00.000-07:00

A pesar de una pésima organización, caótica entrada, precios exorbitantes y lugar a reventar,un verdadero martirio, las expectativas eran altas para ver a uno de los míticos del hip hop, josh Davis mejor conocido como Dj Shadow, tras una larga espera de varias horas por fin se ve la figura de Davis aparecer y decir “Buenas noches mi nombre es Dj Shadow...“ con una multitud enloquecida conformada no solo por amantes del hip hop, que mostraba algunos discos de vinyl dispuestos a ser firmados, comenzó uno de los mejores shows visuales en la música contemporánea.

Dentro de la esfera (Shadowsphere) el Dj Shadow comandando y repartiendo el scratch a diestra y siniestra , mientras que la esfera viajaba por diversos lugares o se transformaba en infinidad de cosas.Uno de los grandes momentos de la noche fue cuando giro la esfera y quedó al descubierto Shadow para mostrarnos como tocaba una mini bateria durante las canciones, uno mas fue “Six Days“ con el coro del público.

Es reconfortante que la música se ha vuelto la mejor motivación para hacer shows de tan buena calidad, que dejan a los asistentes con la tranquilidad de que las peripecias vividas para estar ahí , han valido la pena, dejando en la memoria una huella difícil de borrar...puedo decir que en una noche estrepitosa que la misión fue cumplida.

Tyondai Braxton

Murcof
La misión de la noche asistir a dos conciertos, el primero la clausura del Festival Mutek México, en el Teatro de la Ciudad , que presentaba a Sepalcure, Murcof &Anti vj y al hijo del genio y ex vocalista de Battles, Tyondai Braxton.
Tras un retraso de una hora, comenzó Sepalcure con su música bailable y minimalista , pasando un poco desapercibido.Posteriormente Tyondai Braxton, con las piernas en posición de flor de loto y rodeado de máquinas y artefactos electrónicos, comenzó a incorporar sonidos, uno por uno, con la ayuda de pedales y computadores, ritmos autómatas y repetitivos de esencia matemática al estilo de Battles, pero más atmosféricos y con mucho ruido.Buena presentación de Braxton , que con su primer disco en solitario para Warp records va por muy buen camino.
Después de esperar por un largo tiempo, el dúo mas solicitado de la noche, el nacional Murcof+Antivj colectivo audiovisual frances ,el ex nortec en conjunto con los franceses, ha logrado crear una propuesta que deja muy atrás a sus ex compañeros de colectivo, por mucho una de las propuestas mas interesantes que se hacen por músicos mexicanos. Lamentabemente no pude acabar de ver su set porque me encaminé hacía la segunda parte de esta misión , pero creo que fue una gran clausura del Festival Mutek.

KID KOALA (Master Class&concierto MUTEK Fest México 2011)

2011-10-28T08:52:00.000-07:00

Fotos Ernesto Rivera Planter (las blanco y negro)

“No importa si es análogo o digital ,lo último o lo más viejo,Lo importante es que ese sonido genere un sentimiento“
Kid Koala

Le llaman así porque de niño tenía una colección de envases de su refresco favorito llamado “Koala“, a los 12 años ya era dj y se sumergía en el “digging“(búsqueda) de viniles para empezar a crear sus propias piezas musicales. El canadiense Eric San ,mejor conocido como Kid Koala, piensa que hacer música es como cocinar, “si quieres hacer una buena ensalada , necesitas los tomates adecuados“.

Un puñado de afortunados, tuvimos el privilegio de estar en una Mater Class en la escuela SAE , con uno de los genios del “scratching“ , quién comenzó dando un pequeño vistazo por lo más básico de los discos de vinil y las técnicas que utiliza para hacer su música, los stickers en el centro del vinil para no dejarlos flojos o las marcas con las que hace que la aguja del tornamesa pase de un tono a otro o se quede en un “loop“ y nos explica como es que utiliza el pedal “delay“ para dar efecto.

Visiblemente un tipo que fluye sin contratiempos , para el Koala su instrumento es un flujo de posibilidades infinitas en los que involucra una gran cantidad de trucos, que ayudan para combinar los diferentes ritmos y sonidos que encuentra en los discos de vinil.

Acostumbrado a trabajar con amigos animadores, sabe que las cosas tienen que ser a veces muy laboriosas y exalta mucho la paciencia , que resulta verdaderamente artesanal en su trabajo musical , que ha pesar de involucrar algunas nuevas tecnologías, su preferencia se inclina hacía lo mas básico.

Comenta “Tu primer fan y número uno , siempre es tú madre, pasa el tiempo y todos tienen hijos y cambia la familia pero ahí seguirá tu madre siendo tú fan número uno“ y bromea con un estupendo sentido del humor para luego enseñarnos algunos ejemplos en vivo como “Moon River“ la canción favorita precisamente de su madre o “Skanky Spanky“ una mezcla de ska con reggae (momentos anecdóticos musicales inolvidables) .

Al hablar un poco sobre derechos de autor, dice que en los primeros discos tuvo que pagar regalías a los autores de las canciones que utilizó, pero posteriormente el empezó a crear sus propios sonidos y los convirtio en discos de vinil para las presentaciones en vivo.

¿Estarán en la noche en el show? ...pregunta, con respuesta afirmativa inmediata de los presentes ,quienes salimos maravillados por ver como trabaja un genio.

Para la noche , el lugar Plaza Condesa , nuevo templo de la mafia del “mainstream“ para hacer conciertos y como parte del festival Mutek México, el evento Nocturno 2.Después de abrir la noche con Paul Marmota je, por fin salió Kid Koala, ataviado con su traje característico que tiene que usar durante 100 shows y grita que este en Mutek México es el 58,el Koala nos regaló un viaje por toda clase de ritmos desde las canción infantil favorita de su hija de 2 años, el jazz, el blues , hasta el dub más obscuro o las guitarras pesadas, cerrando con una de mis favoritas “Drunk Trumpet“

Un show corto pero muy redondo y llenó de energía , con momentos nostálgicos y divertidos,definitivamente uno de los personajes que pasarán como fuente de inspiración para quienes lo vimos trabajar en vivo.

Estos videos fueron grabados por un amigo , el Roma, durante la Master class , el ultimo es de DJ Geli del concierto en vivo y los demas son los oficiales.

RE-COVER:Intervención de portadas de discos de vinyl (Casa del Lago )

2011-10-14T16:09:00.000-07:00

Fotos Ernesto Rivera Planter

Los discos de vinyl , se han convertido en objetos de culto no solo dentro de la cultura pop contemporánea, también dentro de las artes visuales. Para la música, es muy importante tener una parte gráfica artística que complemente el concepto de cada uno de los proyectos musicales, es por ello que cada portada se vuelve iconica para todos aquellos que gustamos de la música.

Re-Cover: es un tributo a todas aquellas famosas portadas de Lp´s , algunas clásicas y otras no, que en esta ocasión han sido intervenidas por artistas mexicanos, con reinterpretaciones realmente fantásticas e interesantes, con elementos externos que dan al arte de cada uno de estos discos vida nueva.

29 de Octubre al 4 de Diciembre en Casa del Lago
http://www.casadelago.unam.com/

Info oficial de la pag de Casa del Lago

En la exposición Re-cover, resurgen las portadas de discos de vinil

*Propuesta de Omar Barquet
**Casa del Lago Juan José Arreola, hasta el 4 de diciembre

Como un proyecto que involucró directamente al público a participar en una convocatoria abierta de intervención, el artista Omar Barquet presenta la exposición Re-cover, abierta hasta el 4 de diciembre en las galerías de Casa del Lago Juan José Arreola.

La exposición surge tras la invitación al público, a través de redes sociales, a intervenir la portada de un disco en vinil, de acuerdo con criterios estéticos personales.

Como resultado, se recibieron 138 piezas donde participaron desde diseñadores y tatuadores hasta psicólogos. Además, hubo propuestas que llegaron desde Alemania, República Dominicana y la ciudad de Chicago, así como de los distintos estados de este país, aunque el mayor número de participantes radican en el DF.

La muestra colectiva se plantea como un evento de participación abierta que diluye las clasificaciones entre los campos de la cultura visual, así como las categorías profesional, amateur y aficionado. Uno de los propósitos de la muestra es la integración de la sociedad a partir de la música.

En entrevista, el artista Omar Barquet comentó que la idea del proyecto surgió a partir de las llamadas “Tops”, fiestas o reuniones de amigos, donde acuden a escuchar música del algún tema o agrupación, para luego intercambiar canciones.

Entre los diversos géneros que se abordaron para la intervención, se pueden observar portadas de discos de danzón, rock, metal, pop o progresivo. Los trabajos, del tamaño de un LP original, fueron desde diseños únicos hasta propuestas de instalación.

Nuevas búsquedas

Memorables diseños de portadas de discos han recurrido a imágenes artísticas bien conocidas para emularlas, homenajearlas, parodiarlas y hasta vituperarlas con tino y creatividad. Por ello, resulta estimulante este ejercicio en el espejo: convocar a los artistas plásticos que en esta exposición comparecen para ofrecer lo que la venerable funda del LP suscitó desde el pasado y su modesta superficie acartonada de 79.83855 centímetros cuadrados.

En referencia a la Casa del Lago como espacio de exhibición, Barquet mencionó que por la cantidad de obra y el perfil del recinto se trata del lugar idóneo para la exposición. Agregó que en las salas se escucharán algunas de las canciones que los propios participantes seleccionaron del disco que eligieron para la muestra.

Al concluir su estancia en Casa del Lago, se tiene planeado presentar Re-cover en diversos espacios. El artista impulsor de la propuesta contempla dejar abierta la convocatoria para que más personas puedan participar en ella e incrementar las portadas de discos intervenidas.

Omar Barquet (Chetumal, Quintana Roo. México, 1979), es egresado de la Licenciatura en Artes Plásticas en la Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado La Esmeralda.

Shepard Fairey “OBEY“ (In Asbury Park for ATP Festival)

2011-10-10T16:37:00.000-07:00

Street artist Shephard Fairey turned Asbury Park into his own personal canvas. Curated by the Jonathan Levine Gallery, his works decorated the facades of several buildings near the convention center. The pièce de résistance of the pop-up gallery was a huge wheatpaste mural on the wall adjacent to Asbury Lanes immortalizing the images of punk icons Joey Ramone, Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer, Glenn Danzig, Ian McKay and Henry Rollins.
