This Old Man: All in Pieces

Ulrich Tukur – Mezzanotte (2010) Music

Posted by luckburz at Sept. 26, 2012

“I just went scrounging”, mumbles Tukur nonchalantly, as though he hadn’t amassed a 78 rpm collection of this music numbering some 2000 records and hadn’t acquired a vast knowledge of the material. “The main thing was finding songs whose melodies I liked and which had to do with night in some poetic and beautiful way. And, naturally, I had to be able to sing them. After all, I don’t have a big, trained voice. It isn’t particularly well suited to big band numbers, alas, but it is quite a good fit for the chansons and cabaret pieces from the first half of the last century.”

Kai Hansen formed Helloween in 1984, playing guitar and singing on the speed metal band's first four albums. He left in early 1989, however, and founded Gamma Ray with vocalist Ralf Scheepers (formerly with Tyran Pace). The duo intended to record a one-off project that Hansen originated while in Helloween, so they recruited bassist Uwe Wessel, drummer Matthias Burchardt, and several other musicians…

The Best Offer (2013) Movies

Posted by Someonelse at June 26, 2013

A beautiful thriller that has more elements of mystery and romance than of the thriller that revolves around an auctioneer who has an insane collection of paintings of women. Tornatore manages to portray this lonely man in a perfect manner, even a bit too exaggerated towards the extent of that loneliness as well as the overall plot is a little bit confusing in terms of how the plan is carried out at the end, and how everything gets screwed over so suddenly and so painfully. Still, this film has gorgeous work of art and a spectacular art direction, it has Geoffrey Rush giving a nice performance: strong and emotional, and it keeps your interest, even if it's 2 hours long, and that is something to applaud.

John Kenny - Dragon Voices: The Giant Celtic Horns of Ancient Europe (2016) Music

Posted by Designol at Sept. 24, 2024

People of Celtic culture all over ancient Europe were fascinated by lip reed instruments, and made great horns and trumpets in many forms including the carnyx, a two-metre-long bronze trumpet surmounted by a stylised animal head. One of these was found at Deskford, Scotland, in 1816 and reconstructed in the early 1990s; it is joined here by the magnificent Tintignac carnyx, discovered in southern France in 2004 and reconstructed specially for the current project. A new reconstruction has also been made of the Loughnashade horn from Ireland, with its exquisite decorated bell disc. Recent developments in music archaeology have vastly increased our knowledge and understanding of both the physical construction of these instruments and their likely playing techniques. John Kenny has specialised in their performance for a quarter of a century, and his newly created music explores the voices of these instruments in solo, duo and ensemble textures, drawing upon Celtic mythical characters, echoes of ancient ritual in modern society, and impressions of real places in Ireland, Scotland and France.

With his new album Soul Revolution, Morrison is looking for the pieces of the puzzle that form the man he has become today. An important part of this is his youth in Suriname. A recurring theme on the album is the symbolism that Morrison receives from the culture of his ancestors. "Dreams often tell you a lot about yourself, they tell you about your origins, about your culture and even about your future. In the centuries-old slave rituals zjn several rituals described that have been taken from Ghana to Suriname. One of the rituals is about an eagle called "opete". Ever since I was a kid, I've had a dream where I could fly. In the last dream I had, I put on the naughty shoes and shared the dream with my family.
