  • Soundstage! Hi-Fi
    European Audio Team C-Major Turntable " WWrriitttteenn bbyy JJaassoonn TThhoorrppee # Category: Full-Length Equipment Reviews $ Created: 01 November 2016 Take stock of your modern, electrical, possibly connected home: These days, very few devices require true, dedicated manual input, and even fewer require actual care and feeding. You may be able to control your TV with voice commands. Your thermostat detects when you’re home, and seems to want to make you feel comfortable. Refrigerators no longer require defrosting, and feature Internet connections so that they can assist with . whatever odd tasks their manufacturers can dream up. Integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers can be remotely controlled. Power amplifiers can sense the presence of a signal and turn themselves on. CD players -- which do require the manual insertion of physical discs -- are as relevant as mechanical typesetting. Files, streamed remotely from your server and, just as likely, from far away through space, are where it’s at in the dazzling 21st-century home. It’s as if we’re living in a confusing, ever-changing science-fiction movie. Slow down a minute. Breathe deeply, take a step back in time. Make your own candles from beeswax, churn some butter, cue up an LP. Lower the needle and listen as a stone rubs sound right off a piece of plastic. Don’t you feel calmer now? More relaxed? But before you invite a turntable into your home, be careful -- it’s like adopting a pet. There’s no other component like it. After you unpack your new turntable, there will be at least an hour’s worth of fussing and adjusting before you can even listen to music -- and that’s for a plug-and-play entry-level model.

De kalme voice-over van Laurie Anderson is te horen bij een stroom aan associatieve beel- den, animaties en 8mm-films uit haar kindertijd. De filmmaker vertelt het verhaal van haar geliefde hond Lolabelle die overleden is en snijdt daarbij de dood van haar moeder en ook haar echtgenoot Lou Reed aan. In de film, die ondersteund wordt met een door haar geschreven soundtrack, deelt ze haar jeugdfantasieën en behandelt ze politieke en filoso- fische theorieën. HEART OF A DOG ging in wereldpremière op het Internationale Filmfestival van Venetië in 2015 en won daar de Lina Mangiacapre Award. DIRECTOR’S NOTE As an artist I have made music, paintings, installations, sculpture, and theater. But most of all I am a storyteller. Making Heart of a Dog was a way to translate my work into a form I’ve never used in this way.
