Mire Omerzel - Mirit in koncertno-zvočnih terapijah ansambla Vedun 1 I. NAŠA RESNIČNOST JE ZVOK Snovni in nesnovni svet sestavlja frekvenčno valovanje – slišno in neslišno. Toda naša danost, tudi zvenska, je mnogo, mnogo več. Zvok je alkimija frekvenc in njihovih energij, orodje za urejanje in zdravljenje subtilnih teles duha in fizičnega telesa ter orodje za širjenje zavesti in izostrovanje čutil in nadčutil. Z zvokom (resonanco) se lahko sestavimo v harmonično celoto in uglasimo z naravnimi ritmi, zaradi razglašenosti (disonance) pa lahko zbolimo. Modrosti svetovnih glasbenih tradicij povezujejo človekovo zavest z nezavednim in nadzavednim ter z zvočnimi vzorci brezmejnega, brezčasnega in večnega. Zvok nas povezuje z Velikim Snovnim Slušnim Logosom Univerzuma in Kozmično Inteligenco življenja oziroma Zavestjo Narave, ki jo vse bolj odkrivata tudi subatomska fizika in medicina. Zvok je ključ tistih vrat »duše in srca«, ki odpirajo subtilne svetove »onkraj« običajne zavesti, v mnogodimenzionalne svetove resničnosti in zavesti ter v transcendentalne svetove. Knjige dr.

Zvoku Mirit in glasbeni sodelavci z besedo, glasbo in zvočno »kirurgijo« vračajo urejajočo in zdravilno moč, nekdanjo svečeniško noto in svetost.

    Please provide footnote text CHAPTER 4 A Dialogue of Sources: Greek Bourgeois Women and Material Culture in the Long 18th Century Artemis Yagou The Context In the Ottoman-dominated Europe of the Early Modern period (17th to 19th centuries), certain non-Muslim populations, especially the Christian elites, defined their social status and identity at the intersection of East and West. The westernization of southeastern Europe proceeded not just through the spread of Enlightenment ideas and the influence of the French Revolution, but also through changes in visual culture brought about by western influence on notions of luxury and fashion. This approach allows a closer appreciation of the interactions between traditional culture, political thought, and social change in the context of the modernization or “Europeanization” of this part of Europe.1 The role of the “conquering Balkan Orthodox merchant” in these processes has been duly emphasized.2 The Balkan Orthodox merchant represented the main vehicle of interaction and interpenetration between the Ottoman realm and the West, bringing the Balkans closer to Europe than ever before.3 The gradual expansion of Greek merchants beyond local trade and their penetra- tion into export markets is the most characteristic event of the 18th century in Ottoman-dominated Greece.4 This was triggered by political developments, more specifically the treaty of Küçük Kaynarca in 1774, the opening of the Black 1 LuxFaSS Research Project, http://luxfass.nec.ro, [accessed 30 May 2017]. 2 Troian Stoianovich. “The Conquering Balkan Orthodox Merchant,” The Journal of Economic History 20 (1960): 234–313. 3 Fatma Müge Göçek, East Encounters West: France and the Ottoman Empire in the Eighteenth Century (New York, 1987); Vladislav Lilić, “The Conquering Balkan Orthodox Merchant, by Traian Stoianovich.

    IMS-RASMB, Series Musicologica Balcanica 1.1, 2020. e-ISSN: 2654-248X Rhythmo-Melodic Patterns of Modi Performed on the Santouri by Nikos Kalaitzis by Mema Papandrikou DOI: https://doi.org/10.26262/smb.v1i1.7751 ©2020 The Author. This is an open access article under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercialNoDerivatives International 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc- nd/4.0/ (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided that the articles is properly cited, the use is non-commercial and no modifications or adaptations are made. Papandrikou, Rhythmo-Melodic Patterns… Rhythmo-Melodic Patterns of Modi Performed on the Santouri by Nikos Kalaitzis Mema Papandrikou Abstract: Greek folk music follows the non-tempered modal musical system of the Byzantine ochtoechos. The Greek santouri is a music instrument tuned chromatically after the well-tempered system. As there is no ability of performing microtones, all modes are played on the well-tempered scale. Nikos Kalaitzis or “Bidagialas”, one of the greatest Greek santouri players, uses his excellent skill in order to perform folk music as close to the non-tempered modal system as possible. He focuses on the basic features of each mode/echos and tries to express the style of each one using various melodic and rhythmic techniques. Through the study of two characteristic dance tunes in different modes from the island of Lesbos, we see analytically the rhythmo-melodic patterns which are used on the santouri by this great musician and help to determine the identification of modes.

  • Evdokia's Zeibekiko
    European Scientific Journal December 2017 edition Vol.13, No.35 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 The Bouzouki’s Signifiers and Significance Through the Zeibekiko Dance Song: "Evdokia’s Zeibekiko" Evangelos Saragatsis Musician, Secondary Education Teacher, Holder Of Postgraduate Diploma Ifigeneia Vamvakidou Professor at the University of Western Macedonia, Greece Doi: 10.19044/esj.2017.v13n35p125 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2017.v13n35p125 Abstract The objective of this study is to identify the signifiers and significance of the Zeibekiko dance, and those of the bouzouki itself, to a further extent, as they emerge through research conducted in the relevant literature, and which is anchored to those signifiers, as they are highlighted through their presence in material that is obtained from movies. The semiotic analysis of the film “Evdokia”, by A. Damianos (1971), is the research method that is followed. In this context, the main focus is placed on the episode/scene, where Evdokia’s Zeibekiko is displayed on stage. This ‘polytropic’ (polymodal) material that consists of listening to, viewing, playing music, and dancing encompasses a large variety of musicological and gender signifiers that refer to the specific era. The model followed is that of Greimas (1996), as it was used by Lagopoulos & Boklund-Lagopoulou (2016), and Christodoulou (2012), in order to point out those characteristic features that are expressed by the bouzouki, as a musical instrument, through a representative sample of the zeibekiko dance, as it is illustrated in the homonymous film. The analysis of images, as well as of the language message, lead to the emergence of codes, such as the one referring to the gender, and also the symbolic, value, and social codes, and it is found that all these codes agree with the introductory literature research conducted on the zeibekiko dance and the bouzouki.

  • Luc Besson B.1959 Le Grand Bleu 1988
    Cinéma du Look Spring 2021 Luc Besson b.1959 Le Grand Bleu 1988 The Big Blue: Film From Time Out: https://www.timeout.com/movies/the-big-blue Time Out says The action centres on the rivalry between free-divers Barr and Reno - they dive deep without an aqualung - which begins when they are little boys. The first time you see someone plunging into alien blackness is exciting, but the novelty soon wears off. The first half-hour is the best part of the movie. Going through her usual kooky routine, Arquette plays a New York insurance agent who encounters Barr in Peru, and is captivated by his wide- eyed innocence (which others might describe as bovine stupidity). Her sole purpose seems to be to reassure the audience that there is nothing funny going on between best buddies Barr, who talks to dolphins, and Reno, a macho mother's boy (a performance of much comic credibility). The ending is the worst part of the movie: Barr rejects the pregnant Arquette in favour of going under one last time to become a dolphin-man. Such bathos reeks of cod-Camus. What lies in between is a series of CinemaScopic swathes of blue seas and white cliffs. Besson's film is exactly like his hero: very pretty but very silly. Details Release details Rated: 15 Duration: 119 mins Cast and crew Director: Luc Besson Screenwriter: Luc Besson, Robert Garland, Marilyn Goldin, Jacques Mayol, Marc Perrier Cast: Rosanna Arquette, Jean-Marc Barr, Jean Reno, Paul Shenar, Sergio Castellitto, Jean Bouise, Griffin Dunne Luc Besson Filmography as Director Thirty years ago, Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue) shook the Croisette Article sourced from Festival de Cannes: https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/72- editions/retrospective/2018/actualites/articles/thirty-years-ago-le-grand-bleu-the-big-blue-shook-the-croisette# In 1988, the Festival de Cannes opened to Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue) by the young Luc Besson.

  • Jean-Marc Barr to Receive Bratislava IFF's Award for Artistic Excellence In
    Star of The Big Blue, Renowned European Actor and Director Jean-Marc Barr to Receive Bratislava IFF’s Award for Artistic Excellence in World Cinema The 19th edition of the Bratislava International Film Festival will welcome one of the most distinctive European actors and a unique director JEAN-MARC BARR, who has received world recognition thanks to his cooperation with the controversial Danish director Lars von Trier on films such as Europa, Dogville or Nymphomaniac, and especially as the star of Luc Besson’s hit The Big Blue. In Bratislava, Jean-Marc Barr will receive the festival’s own Award for Artistic Excellence in World Cinema. On this occasion, Mr. Barr will personally present the selection of films screened as part of the Tribute section as well as his latest film, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi Grain. Jean-Marc Barr launched his abundant acting career with smaller roles in British historical films such as King David (1985) or Hope and Glory (1987). His rise to international fame came with the lead role in Luc Besson’s cult picture, The Big Blue (Le grand bleu, 1988), for which he received a César nomination. He stars as Jacques Mayol, a romantic free-diver obsessively devoted to his only love – the sea. Another milestone in Barr’s filmography was his first cooperation with Lars von Trier on a stylised allegory Europe (Europa, 1991), where his idealistic character Leo fatefully clashes with manipulative power and destruction in “post-war Germany’s year 0”. The role enabled Barr to develop his acting register and made him a true star of European cinema.

  • POP Diving: the Big Blue
    POP Diving: The Big Blue BACKGROUND INFO and FACTS In the 60's and 70's, freediving world champions Jaques Mayol and Enzo Maiorca face one another in the blue, beating each other's records. Their performances leave medical experts of those times speechless, and bring freediving to the attention of the general public. It is Mayol, the Frenchman, who finally prevails on the Italian, becoming the first freediver to go beyond 100 meters of depth. And it is precisely around Mayol, considered the father of modern day freediving, that in 1987, movie director Luc Besson creates his first cult-movie, Le Grand Bleu. THE FILM The Blue is so vast and dream-like that it could envelop the collective unconscious of any living being, from man to bacteria. A strong surreal sense permeates the movie, from Mayol's (Jean- Marc Barr) dream to Enzo's mask (Maiorca is played by an outstanding Jean Reno), to the drinking scene in evening attire on the bottom of the pool. In full Besson-style, almost all the characters are caricatural, including Rosanna Arquette, who at times moves like a puppet, as well as the Italians, and the competition judges. At sea, though, things get serious, bodies hyperventilate, go down, come up, dance. They dance with dolphins. It is especially an ethereal Barr-Jaques Mayol who dances; in the movie, as in real life, he was the first to sense the physiological similarities between man and dolphin. Mayol lay the foundations for scientific exploration of the blood-shift phenomenon, and for modern day freediving.
