Carl Craig & Moritz Von Oswald - Recomposed (2008)


"The interaction between the polar opposite musical concepts has always been an irresistible temptation for musicians more ambitious. In this case, looking for possible connections between classical music (or jazz) and techno pulse was often a target area for several years now. Starting from the transfiguration of the jazz fanfare Matthew Herbert Big Band, through the first wonderful CD of Murcof, and getting to the project in the same Carl Craig most relevant topic: the album "Programmed" Innerzone orchestra. The rhythms, when broken, and sustained, when warm and enchanting, they have always tried to solicit (or accommodate) an atmosphere far from being accustomed to certain melodic and structural distortions. The result, if not supported by huge inspiration and control of the media, has run often shown off-center and anachronistic.

Carl Craig and Moritz Von Oswald are two superstars of techno and will not be this test to prove it further. The diligent cooperation (exchange often remix), together with mutual respect, have led to a re-port to which artists of this caliber could only respond with such precision and diligence. The history of this operation is very short: label Deutsche Grammophon has brought it to Oswald, who contacted his friend to involve African-American, the latter accepted and has started the review process. The material chosen concerns the "Bolero" and "Rapsodie espagnole" of Ravel, and "Bilder einer Ausstellung" by Mussorgsky, two huge extrapolations from the great classic old world charm .[...]" - Alessandro Biancalana, OndaRock ( Full article HERE )

Lura - Eclipse (2008) as


"Lura is a Cape Verdean singer who lives in Lisbon. So far, to be able to fully appreciate the energy, charm and unabashed sensuality had to listen live. But this is no longer the case. Eclipse is the work of an artist now blossomed to full maturity. Roots Lura's music is perhaps more openly than many other African artists from Cape Verde, but this CD has done a magnificent work of synthesis. He mixed the traditional ballads of morna to a more lively samba reggae and even some suggestions. It all seemed perfectly natural, and never the result of a calculation. His voice has a great personality, even when it is electronically doctored. "- Clive Davis, The Times (from International n ° 794)

Barbecue Pit Smoker Underneath



1233860007538_05 Antonio Castronuovo is a known signature. Writer and editor of the culture of Romagna "the pie", as a scholar of the future in our region has just published " Vanguard Center: figures and events of futurism in Rimini (Editrice La Mandragora, € 15).

E 'a text which covers for various reasons well emerge from the words of its author.


The first curiosity is born with the title: it's called 'resort' Futurism Rimini?

"More than in the strict sense of futurism, you can talk to Rimini and stings of heats advanced, that it is also concentrated in the summer I suggested the title of the book. In any event, even if there was a real future season of Rimini, the phenomenon across the city from 1909 to the twenties, and took on the appearance of a sort of warm euphoria, more carefree and university boys seriously futuristic. However, this euphoria s'instradò a long journey of cultural modernity and, as marginally contributed to the rejuvenation of the local culture, contribute to the process killing of the last romantic languor. This is the reason why I felt that the phenomenon went advertised and rooted. "


Many were the people who helped the adventure, and not just journalistic tools that were involved ...

"Among the figures that appear in This story is primarily Cupi Addo, the true midwife of futurism Rimini. Then Becca Benson, James Donati and others. Even Luigi Pasquini inclinations future is something he did for the movement, as now seen in several of his beautiful archival documents near Gambalunga Library. Futurism The Rimini is basically a vanguard of paper, made up of articles and pamphlets. The magazines became the bearers of the messages were mostly avant-garde journals resorts, such as "The Blue Gazzettino" and "The Pesceragno," but there were also publicistic special tools, such as "Hey .. Hop" and "The Arch" both pieces very rare ... Futurism did not fail in Rimini for a moment, so to speak, "high philosophy", ie the movement of the "dynamism" created by Donati, who also produced a poster, a form of expression beloved by the Futurists. But all went out leaving very little fire. "


Futurism The Rimini is well documented? What materials has faced?

"I wanted to write the book because this year, as is well known, is the centenary of Futurism, a century already burdened by controversy, triggered by the inability of the Scientific Committee to organize a national unitary events, which give an overall idea of \u200b\u200bthis great all-Italian avant-garde.

Yet I believe it is not possible to give this single idea: the future takes flavor into contact with the suburbs, and it is therefore logical and correct to bring out things that have been made, in fact, in many Italian cities affected by the move. That is why, after having produced over the past years various studies on the future of the city of Romagna, I now want to focus on Rimini and Ravenna (town in which I am organizing an exhibition and catalog).

Accordingly, the futurism of Rimini has been widely studied, especially by Ennio Grassi, with papers and books which are widely debtor. Let's say that I simply compared the existing studies with the original documents, by going to see, read and copy the above the Long Legs ("Arc" instead I found only Saffi in Forlì).

It came out a little book light that I wanted to print a limited edition with a cover and a little 'shouted' - as futurism commands - but without sacrificing scientific structure, complete with a bibliography reasoned and an appendix that reproduces a long article by James Donati, "The new iconoclasm."

I hope this film will certainly not very important, if nothing else can serve to attract some 'interest of Rimini to a piece of their past. Basically, all things told in the book, they were combined !...».

A note on the image. The first Futurist manifesto appears in the Journal of Emilia February 5, 1909, then came the 20th of that month in Le Figaro in Paris . Source image, " Republic of Bologna."
