On 2 CDs highlights and secret tips from the genres Neoclassic, Ethereal and Dark / Neo-Folk are introduced. While on the first CD the focus is placed on the various folk styles, it’s Neoclassic and Ethereal on the second CD. The instruments range from harp and flute over different acoustic guitars to piano and string instruments. There are songs with captivating vocals of both genders to eavesdrop, as well as detailed instrumental pieces to discover. In compiling large importance was attached to appropriate song transitions, so that the different moods gently into each other and have time to develop. Each song takes on a special key position. Snowflakes III takes time and is therefore no compilation to hear the way, but for a conscious immersion in the music. Less than half a year took research and organization to complete. The German project At Sea Compilations was founded byAxel Meßinger to create a platform for underground bands and inquisitive music fans.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

    __________________________ EDEN (Australan Band) BIO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Saskia Reus-Smit February 2017 Media Relations [email protected] 61 435 743 576 EDEN is a Darkwave band that formed in Melbourne,Australia in 1988 by singer-songwriter Sean Bowley and multi-instrumentalist Pieter Bourke. EDEN’s debut performance was at the Baden Powell Hotel, Prahran. The band quickly established a local following that saw them perform regularly as a fixture in Melbourne's burgeoning alternative music scene. EDEN’s initial 12 inch EP ‘The Light Between Worlds’ was released in 1990 on Nightshift Records, Scotland. The EP caught the attention of BBC Radio's John Peel who featured tracks on his show, resulting in rapid support of EDEN by The Alternative Press Magazine in the USA. A 7” single version of ‘Searching for Angel’s Hands’ was released by Ultimate Records Australia the same year, broadening EDEN’s growing supporter base through a live appearance on Australia’s national pop music TV series Countdown Revolution. In 1991 EDEN moved to London based label Third Mind Records who continued to grow the band’s profile in Europe and the USA through the 1992 release of their first full length CD ‘Gateway to the Mysteries’ (released in Australia under Elysium/Shock Records). The album was described by the music press as sounding akin to 'the Cocteau Twins had they existed in the 1890s'. In 1993 EDEN joined the roster of Projekt Records, USA releasing the ‘Healingbow’ EP. In 1993, EDEN established a new lineup, Bourke leaving the band as drummer Peter Barrett, keyboardist Paul Machlis, guitarist Tracy Ellerton and bassist Ewan McArthur joined Bowley to form the next iteration of EDEN.

    Divers Things: Collecting the World Under Water

    Hist. Sci., xlix (2011) DIVERS THINGS: COLLECTING THE WORLD UNDER WATER James Delbourgo Rutgers University I do not pretend to have been to the bottom of the sea. Robert Boyle, 1670 matter out of place Consider the following object as shown in an early eighteenth-century engraving (Figure 1). It is a piece of wood — not a highly worked thing, not ingeniously wrought, though it is an artefact of human labour rather than a natural body. Or is it? In the engraving, the piece of wood disappears: it is visible towards the bottom of the image, a sober pointed stump, but it is quickly subsumed by a second, enveloping entity that swirls about it in an embroidering corkscrew. What elements are here intertwin- ing? The legend beneath the engraving identifies the artefact thus: “Navis, prope Hispaniolam ann Dom 1659. Naufragium passae, asser, a clavo ferreo transfixus, corallio aspero candicante I. B. Obsitus, & a fundo maris anno 1687 expiscatus.” It describes a stake or spar from a ship wrecked off Hispaniola in 1659, which is transfixed by both an iron bolt and rough whitish coral, fished out of the depths in 1687. This collector’s item is neither the cliché of exemplarily beautiful coral nor straightforwardly a historical relic, but an intertwining of the two: the “transfixing” of a remnant of maritime technology by an aquatic agent. It exhibits the very proc- ess of encrustation. The spar is juxtaposed with the image of a jellyfish, and more proximately, engravings of Spanish silver coins, also encrusted with coral: “Nummus argenteus Hispanicus … incrustatus”, one of the labels reads.1 Still another illustra- tion, in a separate engraving, bears the legend “Frustum ligni e mari atlantico erutum cui adhaerescunt conchae anatiferae margine muricata” — a piece of “drift wood beset with bernecle [sic] shells”.

Hart came to the movies in 1914 from a long line of theatrical ex­ perience, mostly Shakespearean and while to many he is the strong, silent Western hero of film he is also the peer of John Ford as a major force in shaping and developing this genre we enjoy, the Western.

    Sam Rosenthal & Projekt Artists

    entertainmentOne Tim, where are you ndigotal dwistribu?tion SAM RoSenthAl & PRojekt ARtiStS a collaboration for Timothy Leary’s 100th birthday It’s the centennial of Timothy Leary’s birth; to commemorate, Sam Rosenthal recorded Tim, where are you now? an electronic space music/art rock collaboration. The album celebrates a pioneer of consciousness expansion using his own words accompanied by international artists exploring those same realms via their music. With the permission and encouragement of Timothy Leary’s son Zach and the Leary estate, the album’s 13 tracks contain 4 spoken word “trips” with text excerpted and cut-up from Tim’s first LSD and DMT experiences chronicled in his 1968 book High Priest. These voice+electronics segments serve as interstitial anchor trips that arise out of the music now and again. As founder of 37-year-old Portland-based Projekt Records, Rosenthal helms the label as well as his band Black Tape For A Blue Girl (with 12 albums in the gothic, ambient & art rock genres). Synthesist, songwriter, lyricist and main collaborator, he’s released 8 albums of his music in the last half-decade. For Tim, where are you now? Rosenthal collected musical textures and sources from Projekt label electronic artists, sonically painting with their colors and his ethereal electronics to create the concept album he envisioned. It’s high time to celebrate Leary’s cultural contributions. He’s a visionary who spent his life thinking about the mind, not just altering it but using it to its fullest potential to better tune into the universe. His influence remains so extensive and complex that 53 years after popularizing his catchphrase “turn on, tune in, drop out” inner exploration continues “Tim was a chieftain.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 469 Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Art Studies: Science, Experience, Education (ICASSEE 2020) Civilization and City Images in the Films of Georges Méliès Ekaterina Salnikova1,* 1The Media Art Department, the State Institute for Art Studies, Moscow, Russia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The very first images of civilization and city in Georges Méliès fiction films are described in the article. His vision of "islands" of a civilization in the middle of a stony landscape and active aircraft traffic were adopted by science-fiction cinema later. In his travel films, the director creates the image of civilization not so much with the help of the spatial environment, but with references to the world of science, entertainment and spectacular urban culture. Méliès became the author of the first images of city roofs, the Middle Age city screen myth, and the confrontation of traditional city and modern technical civilization. Keywords: silent cinema, Georges Méliès, An Adventurous Automobile Trip, the Legend of Rip van Winkle, Christmas Dream, city, civilization, distraction, locations In this case, however, an image of a city is even I.
