HOW TO GET RID OF THIS MOST WICKED BODY. δεν θυμάμαι αν έχει ερωτηματικό. είναι μία γραμμή από το Κουαρτέτο. γιατί την θυμάμαι αυτή την γραμμή. γιατί όχι μία άλλη όπως το τίγρης ή καμποτίνος; τις τελευταίες ημέρες κοιμάμαι στον καναπέ του σαλονιού. δεν έχουμε ξεστολίσει ακόμα και όταν ξυπνάω μου αρέσει να πατάω στην λεπτή πράσινη γούνα που έχουμε τυλίξει γύρω από το πόδι του τραπεζιού. φόρεσα το φλις φούτερ που μου έδωσες χθες για να πάω στον γιατρό. δεν γινόταν αλλιώς. είχε πολύ κρύο. επιστρέφω στο Κουαρτέτο. δεν ξέρω γιατί. ίσως γιατί μου θυμίζει πόσο διαφορετική είσαι από όλους τους άλλους ανθρώπους. δεν ξέρω τι γνώμη έχω για την λέξη ανία μου. φαίνεται ουδέτερη άρα μη προσδιοριστική. ο έρωτας δεν είναι. σίγουρα δεν είναι ουδέτερος και μη προσδιοριστικός. δεν ξέρω τι είναι ο έρωτας. έβαλες καινούριο κάλυμμα στον καναπέ. πήραν την ταινία μας στο φεστιβάλ του Τάμπερε. σε ένα προηγούμενο ποστ σου είχα πει ότι θα συναντηθούμε στον 61ο παράλληλο. ίσως το Τάμπερε να βρίσκεται στον 64ο παράλληλο. εκεί θα έχει κρύο και ίσως οβάλ κτήρια. το φλις φούτερ δεν θα φτάσει και για τους δυο μας αλλά θα σου χαμογελάω μέσα από την ασπρόμαυρη φωτογραφία.

the more i read about the 2006 palestinian elections via wiki page rabbit holes the more i think the language surrounding it is so EXTREMLY weird considering where we are now with a divided palestinian government where theres not been legislative or presidential elections for soon 18 years even tho the attempt has been made at Least twice and has been embraced by both hamas and fatah in 2021 only for the scheduled election in may the same year to be suspended indefinitely by soon 18 year president abbas whos term was supposed to end 2009

from what im reading hamas and fatah got a ye old american split in 2006 where hamas got 44% of votes and fatah 41% which was a shock for israel and usa who favored fatah, this in itself would have not been a problem if not for

SURPRISE! PEOPLE GETTING INVOLVED THAT HAVE NO RIGHT GETTING INVOLVED!

the quartet on the middle east is a group of the usa, russia, the un, and the eu which for some reason was in charge of mediating between israel and palestine (please observe the usa bush administration in the room with us as well as the marked lack of middle eastern representation within the mediating parties)

the quartet said that the election was free and fair but

where youd fucking think it was the non-violence part that hamas had problems with or the recognizing israel part and maybe it was but im reading the wiki page for the Road Map of peace which is what this is talking about and good fucking god dude its so bad but if you insist on not reading the article which you should its terrible just know that famous war criminal george bush of 9/11 fame and a hardline israeli president (who as defense minister was found by an official israeli enquiry to bear personal responsibility for the Sabra and Shatila massacre) was calling a lot of the shots and being dicks about how palestines parliament should look like and who should get to do all the violence (israel, against palestinians)

so yeah the quartet was kinda asking for a lot and hamas which had branded itself on reform and change to the at the time kinda pathetic government (re: Road Map from 2000-2004 holy shit) said we're not gonna do all that to which fatah said well then were not forming a unity government to which hamas went well were gonna form a government anyways and they did which was followed by a year of tension and conflict between hamas and fatah, international sanctions levied against the palestinian government, and the blockade of gaza (which hamas had not yet taken over)

in 2007 a unity government was created. according to leaked documents authenticated by the guardian and published together with al jazeera; abbas and the PLO conspired to form this government and if it didnt meet the quartets conditions abbas would dissolve government and set up an emergency government, which happened when hamas allied forced and fatah allied forces clashed in gaza, believed by IISS to have started over suspicion by hamas that the fatah allied presidential guard (loyal to abbas and expanded by the us) was going to take over gaza

concluding statements: the way the media talks about this time is either that gaza exclusively voted for hamas without mentioning that hamas won the majority in all of occupied palestine, or its talked about as a coup done for shits and giggles with no contributing factors. whats almost never talked about is the external involvements prior to and after the election

abbas has the constitutional power to call an election as the president, he could just do it still, thats a thing he could do

Silbenquartett, Phonologische Bewusstheit

Immer 4 Bildkarten mit der gleichen Silbenanzahl gehören zusammen. Das Silbenquartett kann auch erweitert werden zu einem Sextett, falls der Schwierigkeitsgrad gesteigert werden soll. Ich habe es auch so gespielt mit meinem Therapiekind: etwa 10 Wendeplättchen/ kleine Reifen o.ä. als Weg von A nach B legen. Das Kind zieht 1 Karte, klatscht die Silbenanzahl passend…

Christian Carey's year in review

2023 was pretty much an awful year for our world —climate disaster moves ever more quickly, violence abounds and US politics are a disaster. I would not write a thank you card to the universe for many of my own experiences during the year either. However, I am grateful for the extraordinary music I participated in, heard and wrote about: it was a great solace. A few highlights are below:

I composed three new pieces: Solemn Tollings, for microtonal trumpet and trombone, Just Like You for singing violist, and Cracking Linear Elamite for solo guitar. The latter premiered in December at Loft 393 in Tribeca, played by Dan Lippel.

In addition to editing Sequenza 21 and contributing to Dusted, I authored several reviews and a research article for the British journal Tempo. The article was on my research in narratology as a feature of Elliott Carter’s music, which I have been exploring and publishing on since writing my Ph.D. dissertation. It was great for this particular research, of character-types and interactions in the Fifth String Quartet, to finally see the light of day.

After a half-century of banged up and often unreliable used pianos, my wife Kay got me a new Baldwin grand piano for my 50th birthday. Since it has arrived, I have practically lived in it.

Post-pandemic and post-cancer, I began to dip my toe into attending live events. I went to the Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music, which was a mixed bag. As compensation, the Boston Symphony performances that weekend were excellent. I attended a great concert at the New York Philharmonic in November and another in December. For many years, Kay and I have made a holiday tradition of seeing the Tallis Scholars at St. Mary the Virgin Church in midtown. It was wonderful to return there. The Tallis Scholars’ performance was splendid, featuring a mass by Clemens non Papa.

After the Tallis concert, Kay was in Nashville, where her parents live, for two weeks, spending time with her brother Tom and sister-in-law Aymara, who were visiting from Qatar (Tom teaches at the Carnegie Mellon University campus there and Aymara is a yoga instructor), and celebrating Christmas with her parents. Here in New Jersey, it was just me and the felines, who were (mostly) well-behaved. To keep the holiday blues at bay, I went all out, decorating a natural tree and the house. I played every carol in the hymnal, and enjoyed old holiday standbys: Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck, and Mel Torme’s Christmas albums.

There was much excellent recorded music released this year, and I will not attempt to document it all. Here are twelve records, in no particular order, that I expect will stay with me and be played often in coming years.
