A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

reality, hmmm... "In times long gone, when a Chinese dynasty took over the “mandate of heaven,” one of the early ceremonies carried out by the new emperor was called “the rectification of names.” The thought was that the previous dynasty had fallen into ruin in part because the gap between reality and the names for it had grown so wide." | |

Emily and i were just talking the other day about how much we miss the Gazette... maybe the chicken story could be a great way to restart the project. if Icepack does not like "Air Quality Alert" how about "DJ Its Not the Heat its the Humidity" | |

BTW Trouble, you don't exactly seem like a Lincoln Center person, but I just passed this poster in front of one of their buildings that was talking up this event on Aug 5: "Oiseaux Exotiques", by the International Contemporary Ensemble - http://mostlymozart.org/index.php/2012-ice-aug-5 | |

Tue. 6/19/12 10:55am
dc pat:
Icepack seems to have a lot of nuggets of wisdom "why not play with Legos or something.." couldn't agree more. The entire first floor of my house is filled with Legos.. | |
|
Tue. 6/19/12 10:55am
too much coffee:
here's their blurb: "A fantastical journey through kaleidoscopic islands of sound: Jukka Tiensuu’s nemo recalls Jules Verne’s undersea voyage, while Tristan Murail’s La Barque mystique summons a hazy sonic seascape. Sweeping waves of intensity wash over Luca Francesconi’s Islands, here in its U.S. premiere, for chamber ensemble and piano. The finale, Olivier Messiaen’s Oiseaux exotiques, brings to life a masterful catalogue of sparkling bird sounds." | |
|
Tue. 6/19/12 10:56am
too much coffee:
btw "why not play with Legos or something" is a good response to just about any situation or person that is trying to get at you and make you angry. Like, don't participate in their crap, just go off and do your own thing. | |

Jennique:
Lynda Barry has a great excerpt in her book "What It Is" "We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to be able to stay...It seems that human beings everywhere understand that a child who is never allowed to play will eventually go mad. But how do we know this? And why do we know this? And what happens when we forget?" | |
