J.Peter Schwalm “How We Fall” LP/CD/Digital – 8 Giugno 2018 - Rarenoise Records/Goodfellas J.Peter Schwalm “How We Fall” LP/CD/Digital – 8 giugno 2018 - RareNoise Records/Goodfellas Per anni le composizioni e le produzioni di J. Peter Schwalm sono state una prova impressionante dell'intensità dei suoni senza parole. Più coerente che mai, nel suo nuovo album “How We Fall”, Schwalm crea sculture sonore che trascendono le categorie più comuni. Le loro strutture possono assumere forme ruvide o dolcemente curve, dispiegare effetti associativi o contemplativi e possono anche far rabbrividire l'ascoltatore. La sensibilità di Schwalm per le sfumature, gli archi di tensione e i suoni individuali si basa sul talento e su un'esperienza pluriennale. Il suo ultimo album prima di questo nuovo “How We Fall”, intitolato “The Beauty Of Disaster”, risale alla primavera del 2016; il lavoro ruotava intorno ad una dualità che modella le arti visive e la musica, oltre che la vita stessa: una certa malinconia che è sempre insita nella speranza. Poi, nell'autunno 2016 una svolta nella sua vita, un'esperienza esistenziale che ha lasciato tracce profonde: al musicista (nato a Francoforte sul Meno nel 1970) viene diagnosticato un tumore cerebrale, che deve essere rimosso chirugicamente. Durante l'intervento la procedura si dimostra però impossibile e Schwalm viene sottoposto a chemioterapia. Nel corso dell'anno successivo il nostro si rimette al lavoro su una serie di pezzi che inevitabilmente rifettono stati d'animo quali irrequietezza, paura, disperazione e rabbia, mentre lo sforzo artistico è concentrato nella capacità di elaborare queste emozioni in suoni astratti. La ripartenza dopo la pausa per malattia non è stata facile: "Nelle prime settimane dopo l'operazione, ho ascoltato il mio archivio per distrarmi e ispirarmi. Ho iniziato a progettare miniature al pianoforte, sviluppando armonie che ho poi trasferito alle mie macchine. Mi sono però reso conto che dovevo riscoprire parti della mia attrezzatura perché non ne ricordavo tutte le funzioni". Questo si spiega in parte con il fatto che il musicista tedesco ha negli anni utilizzato tecniche avanzate e molto particolari, alcune delle quali da lui personalmente sviluppate e insegnate in occasioni di festival e seminari in tutto il mondo. Nel corso del tempo, Schwalm ha trasformato le sue idee originali, ha variato e ampliato la gamma dei timbri delle sue composizioni fno a rendere irriconoscibili gli strumenti di cui si avvale. "Durante il processo mi sono reso conto che ci sono paralleli tra le mie esperienze personali e le mie emozioni e l'attuale situazione sociale e politica nel mondo", aggiunge Schwalm. Questo pensiero lo ha portato a scegliere per alcuni pezzi del nuovo album titoli che assomigliano in modo ingannevole a dei termini inglesi. "Altri sono invece nomi di veri villaggi tedeschi, luoghi appartenenti ad un'area scelta dal comando militare americano durante la Guerra Fredda come zona di eventuale sgancio di armi nucleari, per prevenire possibili attacchi sovietici che tentassero di occupare la Germania" spiega Schwalm, che proviene proprio da questa regione, chiamata "Fulda Gap" (Varco di Fulda). I sorprendenti cambiamenti sonori che troviamo nella iniziale “Strofort” sono un esempio per i successivi 45 minuti. Suggestivo come una colonna sonora che non ha bisogno di immagini, il brano collega, disponendole con cura, diverse superfci e frammenti di un linguaggio immaginario, che ci proiettano in un'altra dimensione. Nel corso dell'album ci sono pezzi come “Stormbruch” che spingono oltre il limite il concetto di drone in lenta crescita. Oppure “Clingon”, giocata interamente sullo sviluppo di pulsazioni. "Rispetto al disco precedente, questa volta ho lavorato di più con dettagli ritmici, inclusi metri dispari e opposti", spiega Schwalm. Per J. Peter Schwalm “How We Fall” è una sorta di istantanea scattata in un tempo relativamente breve rispetto ai lavori precedenti. "La musica rappresenta un universo chiuso che rifette il momento e le circostanze in cui è stata creata", spiega. Tutti i pezzi di questo album sono profondamente personali, espressione intensa di un artista sonoro che non deve scendere a compromessi. La musica senza dubbio suona scura, ma mai depressa, e quasi sempre si scorge un accenno di luce. BIOGRAFIA Per sei anni, a partire dal 1998, J. Peter Schwalm ha lavorato continuativamente con Brian Eno: insieme hanno pubblicato l'album “Drawn From Life”, scritto la colonna sonora del lungometraggio di Nicolas Winding Refn “Fear X” e tenuto concerti in Europa e Giappone. Oltre a questo importante sodalizio con Brian Eno - che ha incluso una performance congiunta con la leggenda di Krautrock Holger Czukay - J. Peter Schwalm ha collezionato una serie di variegate e prestigiose esperienze: ha composto per il Balletto di Stoccarda, per il Lyceum Theatre Sheffeld, per il coreografo londinese Hofech Shechter e per la serie Das Neue Werk des NDR. Dal 2008 Schwalm suona con il chitarrista elettrico di Oslo Eivind Aarset, che è stato a lungo un punto di riferimento per lui quanto il bassista londinese Tim Harries. Nel 2013 Schwalm è stato invitato ad eseguire un progetto appositamente sviluppato con questi due partner di lunga data e altri musicisti al 44° Festival Tedesco di Jazz a Francoforte. Nello stesso anno è stato coinvolto dall'ensemble londinese Icebreaker nel progetto di rielaborazione di musiche dei Kraftwerk “Kraftwerk Uncover”. Nel 2016, dopo l'uscita di “The Beauty Of Disaster”, Schwalm ha prodotto la band Chat Noir. ha realizzato un'installazione live al Frankfurter Kunstverein e ha presentato un estratto dei suoi adattamenti personali di Bach all'Alte Oper di Francoforte. Attualmente sta lavorando a un programma radiofonico per Hessischer Rundfunk, per il quale sta scrivendo musica, testi e regia. ”HOW WE FALL” 01. Strofort 02. Battenfeld 03. Auua 04. Ibra 05.

  • Disordered Appetites: Female Flesh in the Works of Thomas Middleton
    DISORDERED APPETITES: FEMALE FLESH IN THE WORKS OF THOMAS MIDDLETON A dissertation submitted by Gregory M. Schnitzspahn in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English TUFTS UNIVERSITY May 2015 Copyright © 2015 by Gregory M. Schnitzspahn Advisor: Judith Haber ii Abstract This dissertation contends that Thomas Middleton’s plays and poetry exploit an early modern psychocultural anxiety focused on the insubstantiality of symbolic or linguistic constructs. More specifically, Middleton’s works consistently examine the manipulability and immateriality of patriarchally prescribed female social identities––such as maid, wife, and widow––that are based entirely upon a woman’s sexual or marital relations with men. Employing principles drawn from psychoanalysis and ecofeminism, I argue that this Middletonian preoccupation bespeaks a more widespread uncertainty in the period about symbolic structures intended to control or contain female bodies and the natural world. My analysis of Thomas Middleton’s work therefore points to conceptual technologies that were emergent in the early modern period and which continue to exert influence in the present day. In the introduction, I describe my guiding principles and theoretical apparatus by reading the typically Middletonian complications of marital and sexual identity in two plays, The Witch and The Phoenix. Chapter One moves to a discussion of female virginity in The Changeling, Middleton’s famous collaboration with William Rowley, and argues that the play taps into cultural anxieties about the potential unreliability of symbolic technologies for controlling female bodies and appetites. Chapter Two examines Middleton’s early work, The Ghost of Lucrece, and contends that this poem’s plaintive ghost uses images of iii female corporeality as a rhetorical weapon, unleashing great floods of blood, milk, and tears that strain the written language of the poem itself.

Rarely do we enter a city that can boast of ancient edifices and haloed ground, the history of which is known the country over. Rarer still is the community, whose quaint buildings, picturesque scenes and romantic atmosphere is its main attraction, luring thousands to its gates each year. Such, however, is the boast of San Antonio, Texas, the quaintest, most lovable, ever-interesting and hospitable city in the United States. No where else may you find such an appeal to the romantic and the picturesque, and have such hospitable welcome extended you, no where will you find such a blending of the ancient with the modern, as in this delightful city of our own Southwest. You may enter the city on several different lines and step at once into depots, designed to augment the atmosphere of quaintness which pervades the whole city. One is a replica in part of the old mission near by. Surrounded by desert and semi-tropical plants they give an impression almost foreign. Tall stately date-palms, Spanish daggers, giant cactus, banana trees, china berry and magnolias lend their beauty, weirdness and picturesque charm to this impression of some Latin com­ munity far removed from our bustling, ultra-modern American cities.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
