  • 'Ūd 'Arbī: Evocations Through Senses
    Salvatore Morra Page 52–66 The Sound of the ʻŪd ʻArbī: Evocations Through Senses Salvatore Morra Abstract: This article investigates the possibility of assessing sound and music in terms of somatic values, norms and practices. I discuss ways in which the Tunisian musical instrument ʻūd ʻarbī is connected to its sound and the player’s body. I explore the reflexive dynamic by which the intersensorial experience (Connor, 2004) of ʻūd ʻarbī roots the instrument's sound in Tunisian society. Qualities, the effects of the plectrum's special position and touches, hands movements, resonances and stroking gestures, recall the intimate sense of crafting the instrument, the shaping of its organic matter and the potential relationships between the player's body, the instrument, and its maker. Keywords: ʻūd ʻarbī, musical instrument, body, intersensorial experience, somaesthetics, Tunisian culture. In line with the development of studies in the body-centered discipline of somaesthetics (Shusterman, 1999), we are currently witnessing a growth in research into music in terms of experiences of embodiment, for example in McCartey (2004), Vitale (2010), Tarvainen (2018). For Shusterman (1999, p. 308), the body is now viewed not only as an object of aesthetic value but also as a crucial sensory medium for enhancing our understanding and practice of arts, music and sound. After all, the body is the essential tool through which cultural values are transmitted, inscribed, and preserved in society. Provocative developments in the social sciences argue for the re-cognition of human body interactions with raw matter, including work of craftsmanship (Sennett, 2009). Taking up the challenge of such voices, this article will consider the relationship between body and sound, focusing on the reflexive dynamic by which the intersensorial body experiences (Connor, 2004) involved in musical instruments (both making and playing them) root the instrument's sound in society.

K. NARAYAN was born on October 10, 1906, in Madras, South India, and educated there and at Maharaja’s College in Mysore. His first novel, Swami and Friends (1935), and its successor, The Bachelor of Arts (1937), are both set in the fictional territory of Malgudi, of which John Updike wrote, “Few writers since Dickens can match the effect of colorful teeming that Narayan’s fictional city of Malgudi conveys; its population is as sharply chiseled as a temple frieze, and as endless, with always, one feels, more characters round the corner.” Narayan wrote many more novels set in Malgudi, including The English Teacher (1945), The Financial Expert (1952), and The Guide (1958), which won him the Sahitya Akademi (India’s National Academy of Letters) Award, his country’s highest honor. His collections of short fiction include A Horse and Two Goats, Malgudi Days, and Under the Banyan Tree. Graham Greene, Narayan’s friend and literary champion, said, “He has offered me a second home. Without him I could never have known what it is like to be Indian.” Narayan’s fiction earned him comparisons to the work of writers including Anton Chekhov, William Faulkner, O.

  • Iran Sanctions
    Iran Sanctions Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs March 9, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS20871 Iran Sanctions Summary International sanctions on Iran’s key energy and financial sectors harmed Iran’s economy and arguably contributed to Iran’s acceptance of restrictions on expanding its nuclear program in exchange for modest sanctions relief. The interim nuclear agreement (Joint Plan of Action, JPA) has been in effect since January 20, 2014, and extended twice (until June 30, 2015) to allow time to translate it into a comprehensive nuclear agreement. The economic pressure caused: • Iran’s crude oil exports to fall to about 1.1 million barrels per day (mbd) at the end of 2013, from about 2.5 million barrels per day Iran in 2011. The crude oil exports are capped at the 1.1 mbd level by the JPA. • Iran’s economy to shrink by about 5% in 2013 as Iran’s private sector reduced operations and many of its loans became delinquent, and has rebounded only modestly since the JPA sanctions relief went into effect. Sanctions have constricted Iran’s ability to procure equipment for its nuclear and missile programs and to import advanced conventional weaponry. However, the sanctions have not halted Iran’s provision of arms to the Assad government in Syria, the Iraqi government and related Shiite militias, Houthi rebels in Yemen, or other pro-Iranian factions in the Middle East such as Lebanese Hezbollah. Sanctions have not altered Iran’s repression of domestic dissent. Under the JPA, Iran has obtained sanctions relief through presidential waivers of several U.S.

  • Leslie Costa | Waiting for Summer Preface
    Leslie Costa | Waiting for Summer Preface Unlike “Invisible Soul”, “Waiting For Summer’s” point of view is less reactive and more philosophical. Both records are about the journey but at different places on the time line. The songs here offer more hope for happiness as the colors and mood are in a dream state awaiting the light. The songs are about life, death and everything inbetween. This record was also a project I set out to do completely independent of any assistance from other musicians, producers and engineers. I have approached the booklet as I did with “Invisible Soul” in the way that I wanted to include the back story for each song from the songwriter perspective. Waiting For Summer The River I Know You can find the door The sun comes up on this day ahead You can fight this war Where it leads to I don’t know It’s only for a while Here I sit and wonder why You will be alright The river I know is a river that’s dry Voices in despair Wounds can heal but the scars still show “The River” is really This is one of two Echo everywhere You can hide your tears still your sadness flows my soul and spirit. older songs written a Wanting me to know And you’re reaching out when no one’s there I always look at couple of years ago There’s nowhere else to go To catch you falling in mid air every morning as a about depression Waiting for summer, waiting for love Why can’t I break free new opportunity to and anxiety.

  • Mumford & Sons
    MUMFORD & SONS - SIGH NO MORE Author: Mumford and Sons Number of Pages: 88 pages Published Date: 01 Jul 2011 Publisher: Hal Leonard Corporation Publication Country: Milwaukee, United States Language: English ISBN: 9781617741081 DOWNLOAD: MUMFORD & SONS - SIGH NO MORE Among the predictable crescendos, there are some unexpected textures, mostly courtesy of some guy calling himself Country Winston playing banjo and dobro. But none of these ideas is fully developed or explored, the gestures fleeting at best. To create a soft, relaxed look, I paired a tiered lace top with a pair of light-wash boyfriend jeans. The Steve Madden wedges I chose complement the femininity of the top and their flower accents allude to spring. Finally, these TopShop earrings are not only a cute accessory, but they symbolize the ticking clock moving all of our lives forward. The same thing might be said of them. Implicitly, however these songs seem to resonate deeply with the message of the gospel and with the concerns of human beings as they seek the God who created all things. Perhaps then, Sigh No More is a modern collection of psalms speaking to our reality as it intersects with the God who redeems us all. The Grados SRis didn't have much of the effect. Which isn't unexpected for the Grados. They're not a headphone that gives much depth when the sound gets dense. It took some listening to notice that the sound was more in front of me than it would be with a normal modern recording. The HD and HM5 were best at making it known that yup, there's some mixing headphone trickery going on.
