journals that I read

The next written source of this kind, a so-called “Seebuch” dates from the 15th century, and from the late 14th century, you can also find the first Portulan Maps with the coastlines of England, Holland, Western France, Spain etc..  For a very long time, this little text is really the only notice.

11 ИЮЛЯ ( СУББОТА) КЛУБ "ПРОЕКТ ОГИ" ДНЕВНОЙ КОНЦЕРТ !!! С 15: 00 до 18:30 !!!

JAZZATOR   (главное окрытие фестиваля "Пустые Холмы 2009")

Музыканты группы Jazzator создают образную музыку методами композиторствования и озорной импровизации. Бархатная музыкальная ткань всюду усеяна причудливыми орнаментами а кое-где торчат неожиданные иголки. Теплые тембры басового регистра обрамляют вокал Марины Собяниной - то ангельский и почти эфемерный, то беснующийся и брызжущий горячим гейзером. Разнузданные пьянящие ритмы сменяются обволакивающим шлейфом флажолетов, а затем фри-джазовым хулиганством и зоопарком. 

Изначально проект задумывался как трио: Кирилл Колмогоров играл на контрабасе, Сергей Балашов - на ударной установке и собственных коленках, а Марина Собянина пела голосами небесных ангелов, тропических птиц и многих других представителей животного мира. Однако, музыканты всегда рады приютить таланты друзей. На записях и концертах группы появляется кларнетист Андрей Бессонов, раскрашивающий музыку Jazzator Ван-Гоговскими тонами, а недавно в группе появился новый участник - басист Юрий Чернопащенко, настоящий кудесник четырех струн. Иногда в виде трибьюта первобытной музыке Сергей и Марина играют вдвоем на самых древних инструментах человечества - барабанах и голосовых связках.

"мы не лечим носы
не лоббируем интересы штата Иллинойс, США, в парламенте
восклицательный знак в нашем названии стоит расценивать двояко
а шумы и шорохи оставили за собой Хармс и Пахмутова
мы играем зависящую от всего и вся музыку
и мы ее любим".

ингредиенты:
саксофон/пианино
гитара/эффекты
бас-гитара
ударные
голос/слова
Музыкальный стиль: psychedelic dependent

Психоделика, борьба трудящихся за свои права, make love not work, революция в наших карманах - вот лишь то немногое из всего, что играет в наших пальцах.

Deedoo The Transformer

Поиск, использование и комбинирование новых возможностей выражать мысль в форме музыки, вот что является основным родом деятельности Deedoo, создания по природе своей странного, но обаятельного. Меняя свою форму, согласно желаниям музыкантов или вопреки им, Deedoo не перестаёт удивлять интересующихся им людей своей многогранностью, изменчивостью и количеством неординарных идей на квадратный сантиметр.
Сотрудничая последние несколько лет с группой, D совсем недавно отважился запечатлеть парочку своих превращений на записях, которые вы можете найти на его странице myspace. Получившиеся композиции сложно охарактеризовать в рамках одного направления, назвать несколько основных проще: indie, math rock, experimental.

front house, originally uploaded by artnoose.

I swam 12 laps in the pool today. I also had the first of my writing groups and got some good feedback on the stuff I've been writing. Then I failed to meet up with the guy who's selling me a bass drum pedal, since my current one has finally disintegrated to the point that it's being held together with twist ties. I did however make it to game night, after walking through Stanton Heights past the forests down the steps into Lawrenceville. I love Pittsburgh in the summer. You don't get so many hot summer nights in California.

If you grow up in a time, in a place, with a tribe, they will show you how to live based on what has been passed down from generations upon generations, aeons upon aeons, of tried-and-true methods of living. They will pass them down to you in the form of stories. Those stories will probably involve gods. That is where they become very real to the peole who believe in them.

Those gods died a long time ago.

Today the gods have been reduced to things you buy in books and boxes, kits and trinkets. They teach you virtually nothing. They have things they want you to do that are nothing more than superstitions that have virtually no real merit, nor change in any way of your daily life. And that's due to the advancement and invasion of civilization.

When the people of one land invaded another, they brought their gods with them. Those gods taught them how to live in that land from which they came. Although chances are, because they're invading, they need more land. So those gods taught them poorly. Thus they're transferring bad gods onto good people. And they usually always insist on imposing their gods.

But to the invaded, the gods teach ways that make no sense whatsoever. Why would a desert god's teachings have any bearings on the ice-dwelling peoples of the north? It is for this reason that, for a world where everyone now lives in apartments and condos, shops for food rather than growing it, and shapes their entire world on how they earn and spend money, none of us understand what a god actually is. We pick our gods eeny meeny miney moe out of vending machines and give them no real special place in our lives. They teach us nothing. We make them a cute ritual that has no bearing on our lives. We still earn, spend, and sit in our condo watching TV.

To the people growing up, gods were not consciously chosen. Choice had nothing to do with it. It was simply the language. It was simply the method of communication. It was the air they breathed. They weren't really trying to explain how everything happened, they were simply explaining what was happening. The why wasn't really a concern. If you asked them what story they created, or what religion they had, they'd stare at you with absurd faces. What the devil are you talking about?

That is the same response as you'd get if someone asked you the same. Yet your story of how things came to be this way is historical. Believe it or not, your gods are the media, pure and simple. And your media tells stories to preserve your life, but are absurd to the other people.

The point is, gods that are pushed onto others are the bad gods who taught their people poorly and ways of life that do not work. Notice, therefore, how they insist their ways are superior. The people, and the gods, who have to insist constantly that their ways are the best, are usually the self-conscious ones who know that they are not.

And that is where we stand. Our gods are very real, in a way we don't actually expect them to be. They are the language we use to propagandize. They can be the truths that get us through a sustainable reality. But today, in our world, they are the lies we tell ourselves so that we can continue to live a way that we know is killing everything.

And that is why it is considered blasphemy to live sustainably.
