Lachenmann at Mills the transbay Creative Music Calendar MARCH 2008 CONCERT REVIEW BY MATTHEW GOODHEART lachenmann at mills In January of 2008, German composer Helmut Lachenmann visited Mills College as the Jean Macduff Vaux visiting composer-in-residence. In addition to lecturing in music classes, he gave a public lecture on Thursday, January 24th, and a concert of his works was performed on Saturday, January 26th. The following article is the first of two installments, the second of which to be published in April issue of the Transbay Creative Music Calendar. Part I - Lecture Saturday night, the concert is over.

  • Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown Varmint Cuneiform 2009
    WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT: JASON ADASIEWICZ’S ROLLDOWN VARMINT CUNEIFORM 2009 Line-up: Jason Adasiewicz (vibraphone), Josh Berman (cornet), Aram Shelton (alto saxophone & clarinet), Jason Roebke (bass), Frank Rosaly (drums) “Consult the jazz vibraphone flow chart and it’s easy to connect the dots between major players from Lionel Hampton to Milt Jackson up through Bobby Hutcherson. … Chicago-based Jason Adasiewicz is a relatively new addition to the playing field…the caliber of his work so far certainly places him in a position for early consideration. Varmint continues the course set by his working ensemble Rolldown on their self-titled debut… Apt comparisons to Sixties Blue Note-era Hutcherson have been plentiful in press in describing both Adasiewicz’s sound and his spacious composing style which embraces freer interplay without abandoning an underlying allegiance to head-solos orthodoxy for too long. A closer cousin still might be …Walt Dickerson. Adasiewicz generates a similarly warm and luminous sonority with his mallets and makes regular use of his instrument’s motor to blur his clusters into vivid watercolor shades. The rest of the group is comparably equipped on the creative front with cornetist Josh Berman and alto saxophonist Aram Shelton … obvious antecedents for Shelton are Eric Dolphy and Jackie McLean… Berman has a full range of tonal effects… Bassist Jason Roebke and drummer Frank Rosaly work in keen collusion…The balance is particularly effective … … Chicago residents and visitors are fortunate… Adasiewicz and his colleagues sit well with the city’s fastest company and still have plenty to say.” - Derek Taylor, Dusted, December 2, 2009, www.dustedmagazine.com “Vibraphonist-composer Jason Adasiewicz returns to the same avant-leaning territory he staked out on Rolldown’s eponymous debut in 2008.

But you would need to dig deeply into the cosmological haystack before encountering a project as extraordinary and unlikely as New Myth/Old Science, which brings together an incandescent cast of Chicago and New York improvisers to explore music inspired by a previously unknown recording of Sun Ra. In the hands of drummer Mike Reed and vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz, who are both invaluable and protean creative forces on Chicago’s vibrant new music scene, Ra’s informal musings serve as a portal for their cohesive but multi-dimensional combo, newly christened Living By Lanterns. Commissioned by Experimental Sound Studio (ESS), the music is one of several projects created in response to material contained in ESS’s vast Sun Ra/El Saturn Audio Archive. Rather than a Sun Ra tribute, Reed and Adasiewicz have crafted a melodically rich, harmonically expansive body of themes orchestrated from fragments extracted from a rehearsal tape marked “NY 1961,” featuring Ra on electric piano, John Gilmore on tenor sax and flute, and Ronnie Boykins on bass.

    BAD 58 ALCHEMY 1 STEINER: ... Die Musik besiegt den Tod, aber dann besiegt das Mysterium tremendum die Musik. Orpheus stirbt, von den Mänaden zerrissen. Dann kommt etwas, das für uns heute abend wichtig ist: Der Körper blutet aus, aber, das ist eine archaische Überlieferung, der Kopf singt weiter. Aus dem Mund des toten Orpheus strömt Musik. Das zweite Thema ist Marsyas, dieser grausame, furchtbare Mythos vom Kampf zwischen ihm und Apollon, in dem Marsyas geschändet wird. Auf Tizians berühmtem Gemälde finden wir alle Motive unseres heutigen Gesprächs. Es ist das größte seiner Bilder, und auch das grausamste. Worum ging es in dem Kampf? In dem Logos Apollons heißt es: Musik ist das Ornament der Sprache. Und Marsyas sagt: Der Wind ist Musik, der Vogel singt Musik, das Meeresrauschen ist Musik. Die Sprache ist ein später Gast und ein falscher. Dann das Sirenen-Motiv. Der Gesang tötet, er hält ganz mysteriös das Versprechen. Was sagen die Sirenen? Wir können dir sagen, was in der Welt war, was in der Welt ist und was in ihr sein wird. Die Verheißung des Alten Testa- ments. Die Verheißung des Baums im Paradies, des Baums der Wissenschaft, des Wissens. Hör unserem Gesang zu. Odysseus überlebt, er segelt weiter. Das war der letzte Moment, wo der Mensch in der Musik die Urkraft der Schöpfung hören konnte. Aber die Warnung war da: Musik ist übermenschlich, aber auch unmenschlich. Schopenhauer sagt: Auch wenn die Welt nicht wäre, könnte die Musik bestehen. Ich bin sicher, der Satz stimmt. Zuerst sind wir Gäste der Musik. Vielleicht kommt die Sprache erst viel später.

    “ANOTHER KIND OF KNIGHTHOOD”: THE HONOR OF LETRADOS IN EARLY MODERN SPANISH LITERATURE By MATTHEW PAUL MICHEL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 © 2016 Matthew Paul Michel To my friends, family, and colleagues in the Gator Nation ACKNOWLEDGMENTS “This tale grew in the telling,” Tolkien tells his readers in the foreword of The Fellowship of the Ring (1954). For me, what began as little more than a lexical curiosity—“Why is letrado used inconsistently by scholars confronting early modern Spanish literature?”—grew in scope until it became the present dissertation. I am greatly indebted to my steadfast advisor Shifra Armon for guiding me through the long and winding road of graduate school. I would also like to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to the late Carol Denise Harllee (1959-2012), Assistant Professor of Spanish at James Madison University, whose research on Pedro de Madariaga rescued that worthy author from obscurity and partially inspired my own efforts. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4 ABSTRACT .....................................................................................................................................7 CHAPTER 1 GATEWAY TO THE LETRADO SOCIOTYPE IN EARLY MODERN SPANISH LITERATURE ..........................................................................................................................9

Musicians a generation younger than Ken Vandermark…are currently making their mark. …Enter vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz….Adasiewicz and his colleagures absorb the basic tenants put forth on those Sixties vinyl classics and place a 21st century personal spin on them.” – Downbeat Jason Adasiewicz’s Rolldown is one of the brightest, hottest, and most coherent and cohesive new constellations to emerge in recent years from Chicago’s ever-expanding jazz galaxy. This jazz quintet is composed of some of the most prolific and talented young players on the scene, including Jason Adasiewicz [a-dah-shev-its] on vibraphone, Josh Berman on cornet, Aram Shelton on alto saxophone and clarinet, Jason Roebke on bass and Frank Rosaly on drums.
