  • The RTOS Story
    The RTOS Story As told by the following brief history, the Rochester Theater Organ Society (RTOS) story is one of inspiration, luck, near failure, community involvement, perseverance and untold hours of dedication and hard work by an unstoppable band of enthusiasts and volunteers, all having the common goal of saving an important piece of Rochester's musical history through the preservation and presentation of a magnificent Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. RTOS Story - In the Beginning In the beginning there was an organ, a theatre, and an organist. Wurlitzer Opus 1951 was built at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company factory in North Tonawanda, NY in the summer of 1928. At that time the 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) was well on its way to completion on Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. A native of Great Britain, Tom Grierson had experience playing organs in St Louis, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and eventually settled in Rochester. Here he had held several church organist positions and played engagements at several local theatres before being retained to play at what would soon become Rochester's most beautiful movie palace. Tom custom designed the organ, a 4-manual, 21-rank, ‘special’ which was probably shipped by rail to Rochester on September 12, 1928. Installation took three months and local lore suggests that due to Tom’s close relationship with Wurlitzer (he recorded many organ player rolls for them) and since Rochester was only a short distance from the factory, that the organ was the recipient of voicing and regulating services not afforded most Wurlitzer installations.

  • Ce Qu'il Y a De Plus Profond Dans L'homme, C'est La Peau∗ (L'idée Fixe
    Ce qu’il y a de plus profond dans l’homme, c’est la peau∗ (L’idée fixe, Paul Valery) ∗ O que há de mais profundo no homem é a pele. 4 Tirando a pele dos body mods: por dentro da movimentação, a movimentação por dentro Neste capítulo é traçado um quadro geral por meio do qual se delineia o panorama underground da subcultura da BM, no âmbito das novas dimensões e potencialidades que o corpo pode alcançar no universo contemporâneo da cultura corporal. A abordagem gira em torno da incorporação dos valores individualistas, “cujo vetor impulsiona a busca pelo singular enquanto uma exigência imperativa manifesta em um discurso de valorização da autonomia dos sujeitos” (COUTINHO, 2004:15). As linhas que contornam o quadro aqui apresentado são traçadas a partir dos dados coletados através de um trabalho etnográfico realizado na cidade de São Paulo com os integrantes da BM, durante aproximadamente três anos. O eixo converge sobre as práticas e discursos promovidos pelos body mods paulistas que adotam uma postura política de vanguarda em relação a BM, conforme já explicado anteriormente. Fundamentam-se, assim, no princípio filosófico da autonomia dos corpos segundo uma perspectiva sócio-antropológica desnaturalizante do corpo. Impulsionados pelas práticas oferecidas pela BM, os body mods paulistas atuam como bricoleurs. Apropriando-se dos materiais que estão ao alcance, reinventam aparência física, a partir de projetos autorais. Nesse sentido, a posse do saber biomédico e das biotecnologias médicas é feita com o objetivo explícito de questionar social e politicamente os processos de normatização do corpo. Logo, as tecnologias fomentam no sujeito, segundo Pitts 129 (2003:13), o sentimento de poder de ação simbólica sobre o próprio corpo e sua origem, à medida que promove a sua customização radical.
