The styles of interaction under discussion

The styles of interaction under discussion here owe much to the downtown New York arts scene of the 1980s, by many accounts the heyday of pre-academic postmodernism in the United States. Prefacing Abigail Child's book, Tom Gunning provides a helpful overview of the context giving rise to this community of Ivy League expatriates:
The crashing of the romantic and idealist aspiration of the sixties counter-culture led many American avant-garde artists to look for a rigor of analysis to replace the highly individualistic and 'personalized' aspects of the Beats and of the youth culture the Beats in part inspired. Painting, as it moved into Minimalism, provided one alternative model. Just as important was a rediscovery of the art and theory of the Soviet literary avant-garde of the twenties, the constructivist ethos which proclaimed the importance of the revolutionary political context of artistic practice, and proposed a scientific analysis of the laws of art... (1)
The music group Bang on a Can was formed in New York in 1987 by Michael Gordon and some fellow recent graduates from the Yale School of Music, because their own musical experiences and needs were not reflected in the culture of "new music"--that is, contemporary composition in the academic conservatory tradition, what some might term "post-classical." The working methods of their "band" were similar to those of the rock groups they had listened to since childhood, and they favored a pluralist mentality over fragmenting and isolating style wars. They also embraced improvisation and electronics, as well as the repetitious long durations of "process" music. Usually called minimalism, this genre has been celebrated as "a purely American art, free of modernist angst and inflected with pop optimism." (2) It was partly inspired by the danceable rock grooves of the 1960s. Later, the direction of influence reversed: "... minimalism has marked rock, pop, and dance music from the Velvet Underground onward." (3) Eventually, a style came to be associated with the highly successful, influential, and controversial Bang on a Can: a maximal approach to minimalism, in which very subtle details of timbre are used to articulate and enliven the surfaces of large structures based on very simple harmonic progressions. Morrison's film Decasia, written in close dialogue with Michael Cordon and his music score, is also exemplary of minimalism's slow and repetitious processes.

Textures of collaboration: pop music culture

Textures of collaboration: pop music culture and the experimental films of Abigail Child and Bill MorrisonCineAction, Winter, 2010 by Carolyn Elerding

Cinema possesses a rich history of collaboration between artists of sound, narrative, and image. However, traditional tendencies to perceive music as a strictly supportive background or accompaniment have been subjected to in-depth critique only recently. Abigail Child's interactions with musicians in Is This What You Were Born For? (1981-89) and Bill Morrison's partnership with composer Michael Gordon in Decasia (2001) exemplify (but by no means exhaust the possibilities of) the broader range of collaborative textures that cinema has always suggested. Not coincidentally, these works represent the influence on cinema of two popular music practices: the ubiquitous re-mixing that has emerged from hip-hop culture and the group composition typical of many rock bands.

Abigail Child (also a poet, critic, and scholar) has had an influential career as an experimental filmmaker since the mid-1970s when she turned from professional documentary work to the creation of independent films focusing on gender, sexuality, class, and the critical possibilities of montage. Recycling found footage from a wide variety of sources, such as porn, industrial films, and home movies, and progressing cinematic techniques often associated primarily with the historical avant-garde of the early twentieth century, Child has created an oeuvre of incredible beauty and continuing social relevance. Her films are shown at major art museums and in experimental cinema venues and can be obtained through a variety of distribution channels. Is This What You Were Born For?, the series of short films Child created in the 1980s, underscores her exploration of interdisciplinary collaboration and these endeavors have had on her work.
Michael Gordon's award-winning career as a composer has resulted in a variety of notable intermedia collaborations, including for example operas with diegetic film components progressing beyond the more familiar application of projection as scenery and non-narrative music performances incorporating video. Gordon is a founding member of the highly regarded new music organization Bang on a Can, a group dedicated to facilitating the composition and performance of new music, often with an interdisciplinary dimension and independently of conservative academic contexts. Decasia, Gordon's internationally celebrated collaboration with filmmaker Bill Morrison, is a symphony for full orchestra paired with a montage of archival nitrate footage in various states of intriguing and evocative decomposition. The final version of the film, edited to fit the live recording of the symphony performance, was featured in the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. Decasia synaesthetically elucidates subtleties inherent to myriad generative tensions: progress/tradition, memory/time, darkness/illumination, and mini-malism/totalism.

Goodbyes can be difficult, even excruciatingly painful at times. This is one of those.

Goodbyes can be difficult, even excruciatingly painful at times. This is one of those.
This week, we here at Goldmine bid a fond adieu to Trevor Lauber. For years, Trevor worked in advertising sales for the magazine. Many advertisers and readers have surely dealt with Trevor over the years.
And if you have, no doubt his friendly, enthusiastic nature and his deep knowledge of the hobby and the music industry in general have left an impression on you.
When I came onboard with Goldmine about three years ago, no one was more helpful than Trevor in assisting me as I tried to learn what I could about our readership, the history of Goldmine and the people involved in the record-collecting hobby as a whole.
Seeing his desk now empty feels surreal. For so long, Trevor has been an instrumental figure in building Goldmine magazine and everything associated with it, from the e-newsletter we send out twice a week to the Web site we have now.
Personally, I will miss Trevor greatly. We had a great time and did a lot of fantastic work together. We will soldier on, however. Onward and upward, as they say. And we wish Trevor nothing but the best.

They rehearse the future as they see it

They rehearse the future as they see it
"I believe our future is a one-stop shop for decorating. In addition to limited-edition prints and posters, we now offer collectibles, gift items and small occasional furniture pieces," said Christine Knoll of the Art Gallery of Hog Hollow in Chesterfield, Mo.
Successful people move towards the pictures they create in their mind. They can rehearse coming actions or events as they "see" them. They are like chess players who can "feel" the next move of their opponent and have half a dozen responses ready when their time comes to move.


Many successful athletes will say they practice "seeing" themselves winning the race, hitting the home run or scoring the touchdown. They actually visualize a future event which gives them the impetus to achieve the goal.
How many of these six characteristics are yours? The more you have, the higher degree of probability you will be doing more business next year instead of being one of the thousands of retailers listed in the obituary pages of the local paper's business news. ABN
Successful Business People:
--Constantly set higher goals
--Avoid "comfort zones"
--Driven by accomplishments, not money
--Solve problems rather than place blame
--Look at the worst possible scenario
--Rehearse the future as they see it

Using The Facility Smartly

The hybrid accounts can be used smartly by accounthold­ers to make the most of facility. Firstly, it should be noted that since the rate of interest for a tenure of less than 90 days is usually less than the rate of interest available on an SB account, it would be unwise to opt for a short tenure. One should choose the tenure so as to earn a higher rate of interest, but obviously it cannot be less than 90 days as one would stand to lose due to lower rate of interest on FDs of short tenure.
Secondly, while going for an auto sweep facility, it is advis­able to keep the threshold limit reasonably high so that the amount converted into FD remains there till maturity to earn higher rate of interest and does not get transferred back to SB account frequently. •

The Terms

The facilities of sweep-in or reverse sweep-in usually do not cost anything extra, but you may be required to maintain a certain minimum balance in your account to avail the facility. While ICICI Bank requires you to maintain a minimum balance of Rs 10,000 in SB account, HDFC Bank's sweep-in facility without any charges mandates you to maintain a minimum balance of Rs 50,000 in your FD and if the balance falls below Rs 50,000
service charges applicable for savings or current account are levied. Bank of Rajasthan's Flexi Fixed Deposit mandates you to maintain minimum Rs 10,000 in the FD and if do not maintain it, you have to pay Rs 100 pet quartet.
