chiamate i paramedici:
Ospiti internazionali, prima parte. Gli amici JOYOUS COSMOLOGY (Anversa, Belgio) attaccano con loro set un po' free\qualcosa stralunato e cosmico.
Grosse emozioni e cosmologia sopraffina, peccato che il pubblico era in pausa birra. A proposito l'organizzazione non aveva previsto una tale affluenza ed ha finito in tre ore la birra fredda, obbligando l'utenza ad acquistare birra calda a profusione fino le due di notte.

Ludo Mich and The Joyous Cosmology
Before The Big Bang
"Before The Big Bang is a whole other set of teeth, with analog electronics and weird melancholy keyboard parts that are equal parts avant, Kraut and cartoon accompanying some almost songs, vocal effects and surreal verbal protestations. Somewhere between Larry Fischer, Walter Wegmuller and Gil Wolman – and everybody knows that’s nowhere. Recommended."

Wednesday, 23 July 2008Anthony Peake's Cheating The Ferryman Blog Page: Now this is really weird!!!!
Now this is really weird!!!!Last night I found that I couldn't really sleep. I had lots of things going through my head. My mind drifted to thinking about the Blog. I then thought about the weird coincidences I described in my "Postcard from Tony" kindly posted for me by Karl.
(http://cheatingtheferryman.blogspot.com/2008/06/postcard-from-tony.html
As I thought about in in my minds-eye something struck me. I thought about how it had been possible for me to send to Karl the photograph I took that very evening (23rd) and how he had placed it on the blog. I then woke up fully. I realised that I had not sent any photo to him because I emailed him on my phone a few hours before. It was impossible as I had not taken the photograph then, but a few hours later, and yet I was sure that Karl had posted my actual photograph. I emailed Karl this morning and he confirmed that he had selected a picture at random that he found on the web that was of my hotel - he chose, quite by chance, one that was virtually identical to the one I was about to take (check it out - the one above is mine). This was taken from our room. Of the fifty or so rooms in the Hotel Belvedere only two have balconies that have this view so the chances of Karl picking a photograph at random that was exactly my view as I wrote a posting for the blog on...now what was the subject? Oh yes, weird synchronicities!!!!
Is this fascinating or just a little bit scary!

Leonardo Da Vinci and The Elephant
1245.
THE ELEPHANT.
The huge elephant has by nature what is rarely found in man; that is
Honesty, Prudence, Justice, and the Observance of Religion; inasmuch
as when the moon is new, these beasts go down to the rivers, and
there, solemnly cleansing themselves, they bathe, and so, having
saluted the planet, return to the woods. And when they are ill,
being laid down, they fling up plants towards Heaven as though they
would offer sacrifice. --They bury their tusks when they fall out
from old age.--Of these two tusks they use one to dig up roots for
food; but they save the point of the other for fighting with; when
they are taken by hunters and when worn out by fatigue, they dig up
these buried tusks and ransom themselves.
1246.
They are merciful, and know the dangers, and if one finds a man
alone and lost, he kindly puts him back in the road he has missed,
if he finds the footprints of the man before the man himself. It
dreads betrayal, so it stops and blows, pointing it out to the other
elephants who form in a troop and go warily.
These beasts always go in troops, and the oldest goes in front and
the second in age remains the last, and thus they enclose the troop.
Out of shame they pair only at night and secretly, nor do they then
rejoin the herd but first bathe in the river. The females do not
fight as with other animals; and it is so merciful that it is most
unwilling by nature ever to hurt those weaker than itself. And if it
meets in the middle of its way a flock of sheep
1247.
it puts them aside with its trunk, so as not to trample them under
foot; and it never hurts any thing unless when provoked. When one
has fallen into a pit the others fill up the pit with branches,
earth and stones, thus raising the bottom that he may easily get
out. They greatly dread the noise of swine and fly in confusion,
doing no less harm then, with their feet, to their own kind than to
the enemy. They delight in rivers and are always wandering about
near them, though on account of their great weight they cannot swim.
They devour stones, and the trunks of trees are their favourite
food. They have a horror of rats. Flies delight in their smell and
settle on their back, and the beast scrapes its skin making its
folds even and kills them.
1248.
When they cross rivers they send their young ones up against the
stream of the water; thus, being set towards the fall, they break
the united current of the water so that the current does not carry
them away. The dragon flings itself under the elephant's body, and
with its tail it ties its legs; with its wings and with its arms it
also clings round its ribs and cuts its throat with its teeth, and
the elephant falls upon it and the dragon is burst. Thus, in its
death it is revenged on its foe.

Leonardo da Vinci
Adoration of the Magi
1481
Charcoal and white lead over plaster priming on wood (h. 243 cm, w. 246 cm)
Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence inv. 1890, n. 1594
Recent diagnostic investigations on Leonardo da Vinci’s the Adoration of the Magi, conducted by Maurizio Seracini, have revealed that the painting was carried out in two distinct stages, during two different time periods (a).
During the first stage Leonardo applied, on a panel made of an assembly of ten poplar planks (b), a ground consisting of layers of coarse and fine gesso bound with animal glue (c). He then developed a detailed brush drawing with lamp black and natural resin. This was covered with a thin priming of lead white, transparent enough that the drawing would remain visible during the painting phase (d). The only area that Leonardo went on to paint substantially was the sky, which is made of a mixture of lead white and a little ultramarine. He also applied occasional highlights to some of the figures and parts of the architecture (e).
A second stage came much later, when another artist added several layers of paint made of red and brown earth pigments, copper resinate and a lot of charcoal in oil with some resin (f). These monochrome layers do not follow the lines of the underdrawing, instead largely obscure it.
In summary, Leonardo’s magnificent creative moment in the Adoration is represented by the superb preparatory drawing, which can once again be admired thanks to the results of scientific studies (g, h, i).
In the preparatory drawing on paper, Leonardo first traced the architecture and a large covered structure on top of meticulously-drawn lines of perspective (j). He then went on to fill in the scene with figures and horses, sketching first in charcoal and then adding greater detail with iron gall ink (k).

memory-speed-déjà vu: Why elephants do not escape?
...
But I will not complain. In the new house I am being taken very good care of. There is a woman dressing in white in my charge. Don’t ask me her name, I don’t remember. But she does talk to me very sweet, and she tickles me when she changes my clothes. The house has many corridors and turns, like memory. There are some people who come to pay me visits from time to time. I don’t know who they are, but they keep crying most of the time. They look at me and they cry, as if I was an elephant tied up to a pole. I am the elephant and they are the kids, always crying and crying. I don’t know why. I feel just fine. The woman who minds me keeps telling me they are my sons and daughters, but I don’t remember them. I don’t even know if I ever had a wife. The question is that they suffer on my behalf, and I too suffer on theirs, because I never liked seeing people in pain. There we are! I have lost the thread again. What was I talking about?

Do Not Go Gently Into That Good NightSaturday, January 6, 2007Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.
Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.
