NOVARA JAZZ 2023 DIARY: SIMETI SITE SPECIFIC, MIRRA, FLAT EARTH SOCIETY ORCHESTRA E TUN

Grazie al “Bando creatività contemporanea”, su un’idea di Corrado Beldi, arriva a Novara nel giardino di Palazzo Faraggiana un’opera di Francesco Simeti, dal titolo “Congetture” ispirata a un quadro dell’esploratore Guido Boggiani che ritrae il “Pan di Zucchero”. Simeti ha realizzato un enorme fondale su pannelli che copre una parte del muro ammalorato della parete sud del giardino del palazzo, con motivi vegetali e animali di notevole suggestione, in consonanza con quanto contiene il museo di storia naturale. L’opera è stata presentata dagli organizzatori di Novara Jazz, da Davide Quadrio direttore del MAO di Torino, e dal curatore Marco Tagliafierro. Ma cosa c’entra tutto questo con il Jazz? C’entra, poiché il Festival porta con sé più di una manifestazione collaterale come presentazioni di libri, mercatini dei vinili ecc. o, appunto, opere d’arte. Il museo Faraggiana è da tempo al centro dell’interesse degli organizzatori che ne hanno già fatto la location per set jazzistici, ma anche per presentazioni di libri sull’argomento, un vecchio pallino di Corrado Beldi che vorrebbe trasformare il museo in un vero polo pluriculturale. A dargli ragione c’è oggi la straordinaria performance di un vibrafonista come Pasquale Mirra che di geografie (musicali e mentali) se ne intende parecchio e infatti la sua suite-viaggio con variazioni su temi dati, entusiasma e non poco il folto pubblico presente. Non si può disgiungere la sua capacità di compositore da quella di sperimentatore, il che fa sì che il vibrafono diventi una band intera con il giusto equilibrio, cosa non semplice, tra strumento e oggettistica ,tra i quali oggetti lascia di stucco la possibilità ritmica di un sacchetto di tappi di plastica magistralmente percossi. Compositore sopraffino e improvvisatore raffinato, Mirra è grande un creatore di geometrie musicali variate, ma sempre equilibrate. Dopo il consueto concerto delle diciannove, sul palco del Broletto ecco l’ora della imponente “Flat Earth Society Orchestra”, quattordici elementi che, più che un concerto jazz, sembrano mettere insieme una immaginifica colonna sonora. Guidati dal loro fondatore Peter Vermeersch si sono molto divertiti a spiazzare il pubblico con continui cambi di registro e di ambienti musicali, dove il jazz entrava ed usciva come da una porta girevole di un hotel. Ma insieme al jazz entravano ed uscivano rock, classica, contemporanea ed altri generi e sottogeneri, appena suggeriti o ironicamente interpretati. Magnifico il brano “de costruito” che parte con la voce piena dell’orchestra e finisce con una sola nota ripetuta (quasi) all’infinito, una sorta di “reductio ad unum” di un tema musicale. Non tanto una lezione musicale con Vermeersch nella veste di docente, bensì una lezione in musica scanzonata e divertente. Il secondo concerto della serata porta sul palco un interessante techno-trio ovvero TUN Torino Unlimited Noise. Musica techno-logica non troppo disturbante, viste le premesse insite nel nome del gruppo che, invece, crea atmosfere sospese punteggiate da inserti del sax di Gianni Denitto. Si finisce con la festa degli universitari con il consueto Dj-set, ma quella è tutta un’altra musica…

Does that count as slander? I guess it is so vague that it might not count. How would you prove a ‘voice’ was attacked? How does that differ from saying you cast an evil spell? SJWs are loathsome human beings, and will gladly attack your character on social media, and do their best to ruin your business, without ever once honestly explaining what crime you are supposed to have committed. They simply point and screech, and others of their kind will do the same. This is why legal action against them must be taken wherever and whenever we can manage it.

Alterna Comics has announced that the Metaphase graphic novel by Chip Reece, Kelly Williams, and Peter Simeti, has sold out and is going back to print to fill a surge in demand.

Metaphase, originally created in 2014 and published in 2015, tells the story of Ollie, a boy with Down syndrome, that wants to be just like his superhero dad.  When a disingenuous company known as Meta-Makers promises to turn anyone into a superhero, Ollie signs up, and is turned into one of the most powerful heroes the world has ever known — but at what cost?

Inspired by his son Ollie, who has Down syndrome, Chip Reece created a superhero story that is both unique and inclusive.

Simeti in the announcement said:

Metaphase is a prime example of how important comic books and graphic novels are.  The heart of the story is a universal one, it’s about wanting to achieve something and do something important with your life, we all have hopes, dreams, and aspirations — everyone’s had obstacles in their life — but it’s what you do to overcome those obstacles; that’s what makes a hero.  In the story, and in real life, Ollie is a hero.

Metaphase can still be found at various bookstores and comic shops throughout the world, though most are sold out at this point.  For online shoppers, the title can be back-ordered on Amazon and the site expects to have copies ready to send out over the next two weeks.
