Giovanni Di Domenico, Pak Yan Lau & John Also Bennett — Tidal Perspectives (Basilic)

On Tidal Perspectives, Italian keyboardist Giovanni Di Domenico, Belgian sound artist Pak Yan Lau and American-born flutist John Also Bennett come together for a record that presents improvised music at its most inward-looking and tranquil. The intersection of ambient music and free improvisation is an uncommon and unlikely one, given that the former emphasizes stillness and calm and the latter prioritizes free-flowing creative expression. Tidal Perspectives walks that fine line, using improvised elements to bring out the strangeness in its sonic meditations.

Giovanni Di Domenico has a background in improvised music, performing frequently with Japanese free jazz legend Akira Sakata as well as Jim O’Rourke. As a solo artist, he specializes in spacious post-minimalism, and he brings that (along with his improvisational prowess) to this record. Pak Yan Lau, a fellow traveler in Europe’s improvised music scene and a collaborator of Darin Gray and Chris Corsano, lends the album a surreal, undefinable quality with her prepared piano and objects. John Also Bennett works more with ambient soundscapes than improvised music, but rather than simply meeting the other players where they’re at (or vice versa), he ties the whole project together, lending the record a good deal of color and depth in the process.

Tracks such as “Melt” represent the most fully realized version of the group’s sound, at times sounding like Hariprasad Chaurasia sitting in with The Necks. The sounds flow from the three musicians like a stream flowing from a creek, with Di Domenico’s twinkling fender rhodes, Yan Lau’s crackling percussive sounds and Bennett’s wavering pitch coming together as one whole. “Generational” opens with wild, GRM-like granular abstraction before eventually settling into a prepared piano lullaby of sorts, with Yan Lau’s piano almost sounding like chimes and bells. As a whole, the record provides something truly warm and meditational without ever falling victim to the trappings of new-agey aesthetics.

Apple's highest-charting single, it peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as number 4 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 40th Grammy Awards and was nominated for Best Rock Song. "Criminal" was listed at number 55 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s", and number 71 on Blender magazine's 2005 list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born".

In 1998, the video won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Cinematography. The video was featured in the 1997 MTV special "Beavis and Butt-Head Do Thanksgiving". Up until Beavis and Butt-Head's revival in 2011, it was the last to be critiqued by the duo among other videos in the special. In the second episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, Bette and Dot Tattler perform a duet version of "Criminal".

"Criminal" received a total of 74,8% yes votes!

Hey So Why is Till Wearing a Sponsor Logo?

I am now connecting many, many dots.

[Please keep in mind the following is just a giant conspiracy board for a wild interesting path they could take]

Let's assume that's a sponsor logo Till's wearing. Just for this post.

Alien Stage puts a lot of intention into every outfit design so there must be a reason behind this purposeful inclusion in Till's Round 7 appearance.

To review, Till's Round 2 and Round 6 outfits reflect two very different states.

In Round 2, his outfit is closer to his personal style, but he's barefoot because he kicked off the shoes given by the designers (Artbook Interview). This nods to the fact that he doesn't want to cooperate or care to respect any part of this.

In Round 6, he's wearing an outfit reminiscent of kpop because he's finally conforming to Alien Stage (Patreon). He has no will to live, nor will to fight. He allows the segyein to style him as they wish because nothing matters anymore.

Now in Round 7, from what we can make out, Till is wearing a ripped, translucent tank top of unknown material over a black one underneath. This is paired with baggy pants, and a pair of armbands on his biceps. These armbands have what appears to be a sponsor logo that doesn't match any that we've seen so far. The overall vibe is closed to his Round 2, yet with a few disconcerting elements — the most obvious of which, is the logo that was intentionally included in the teaser.

Till is the rebellious character. Segyein sponsorships go against his very concept, demonstrated by the fact that they've only appeared in relation to Ivan and Luka, the characters who conformed to and worked the system the most.

Till: Passive vs Active

Up to this point, Till actually seems fairly passive for a character symbolizing rebellion and rejection. Everything he does is a reaction to something, rather than taking any action first.

His rebellion -> reaction to the segyein's attempt to control him. He doesn't take the initiative to do anything, whether that be sabotaging the segyein or escaping their control. His rebellion only lasts as long as the segyein are present.

His music and song-writing -> a reaction to the emotions generated by Mizi

Him killing Freddie -> a reaction to Acorn trying to take control in the middle of his song to Mizi while his feelings were running high

His death-seeking -> a reaction to Mizi's incident and losing his sole motivation, his light in the dark

And then two specific scenes:

1) Standing up to the wagyein aka the scene wherein Ivan fell in love -> Till is reacting to Mizi being in danger.

You'll notice Till doesn't actively do anything once Mizi is out of danger (for example, attempt to sneak back in to eliminate the wagyein so that Mizi will never again be in danger)

2) Unknown (Till The End) for Round 2 -> Till is reacting directly to My Clematis

The theory that Till sang this song instead of the one he was supposed to was confirmed (Artbook Interview). I don't think this was planned by Till either, until right before the round.

Canonically, Till has put on lukewarm performances in the preliminaries before this (Magazine Site Article) yet for some reason he exploded in Round 2. So what changed? What was the catalyst for his behavior? My Clematis.

Till presumably hasn't seen Mizi since graduation (implied in everyone's graduation messages) and now he's hit over the head all over again by the full impact of his emotions as he watches Mizi at her brightest, living out her dream with Sua (see Mizi flashbacks Round 2). He's overcome by these emotions and impulsively chooses to sing Unknown to channel and express this new tidal wave of feelings. So this would be yet again, Till in the passive role of reacting.

There is a certain irony in Till being the rebellious character, the one fighting against his restraints, yet he is held completely at the mercy of his emotions.

I think his passiveness is due to not having any real goal or direction. Up to this point, his only motivators are Mizi and music.

Mizi — Surprisingly, Till shows no desire to date or aim to have any specific relationship with her. Most of his wants are limited to just existing near her and bask in the feeling her presence gives him. Part of this is because they possibly haven't even been taught the concept of dating or romantic relationships (see "do they even know what a kiss is" comic). So while Till knows Mizi makes him Feel, he doesn't know what to do with said feelings.

Music — Music isn't a goal for Till. It's a way of living. The sounds come to him. The notes dance on his fingertips. He lives, breathes, is music, whether he chooses or not. There is no goal he sees in music, except the abstract want of expressing his feelings.

This lack of goal and initiative serves as an even bigger contrast to the rest of the characters.

Sua and Ivan are overachievers because they wanted what little control and special privileges that would grant them.

Ivan -> Sua (Piggyback Comic)

"It seems like you're overdoing things these days, aren't you? At the end of the day, I know best that good grades here are useless."

Luka has reached the epitome of the road Sua and Ivan chose to take.

Hyuna broke free of Alien Stage and now works as part of the human rebellion, saving Mizi and carrying out raids.

Mizi shooting the gun in All-In is representative of her overcoming the trauma imposed by Luka and choosing for the first time to actively take control of her own life (Artbook All-In Commentary).

As for Till?

He did kill Freddie on stage, but it looks more like an impulse than a premeditated murder. There was no deliberate planning for it — no request to use Freddie, no seeking permission or sneaking to bring Freddie on stage, no sign of murderous rage directed to Freddie himself. Freddie just happened to land in his possession because of his musical talents (Urak: "He [Till] should know he's only alive due to his talent.") and from there Till simply followed his emotions.

Other than Freddie's incident, nothing notable has been seen from Till for the ~20 years in segyein captivity.

Round 7's Resolution

The worst has happened — both Mizi and Ivan are gone. He's even been denied death by Ivan. Where can he go from here?

Round 7 specifically explores Till's "emotional journey" after these major events (Patreon) so it's safe to assume Round 7 is meant to be a turning point for Till.

Considering his overall aimlessness up until this point, I think this emotional journey and ultimate turning point will take the form of him finally finding a goal and therefore his resolution.

So here's the real conspiracy-boarding:

What if the sponsor logo is Till's resolution?

What if this is a sign of Till finally compromising with the segyein for the first time in his life?

His resolution is the end of his absolute rebellion.

Of course, only on the surface.

This time, Till chooses to work the system and destroy it from the inside.

Hear me out:

Mizi and Hyuna manage to get to Till.

Mizi reaches out a hand to save him, just as she had in his visions during his darkest hours.

But this time, he doesn't reach out for that hand. Instead, he walks back to the segyein.

He turns away from Mizi, his reason for staying all those years ago, and stays, this time for Ivan's sacrifice.

Poetic, really. A full circle, you can say.

He's very specifically turning away from Mizi, his only driving motive in his life up until now, to devote his life to something bigger than just the two of them. He is no longer waiting to be saved. He is one doing the saving.

His Round 7 outfit is rebellious, yet segyein-favorable.

Instead of rebelling aimlessly, he rebels in a way that makes him sick to the stomach — he rebels in a way that weaponizes his appeal to the segyein audience.

Instead of throwing his life away, he claws for survival, compromising just enough to grab at the chance to bring this system down from the inside.

It's Mizi/unknown till the end, but in a way he never expected.

Till becomes their man on the inside.

Wow, congrats on reading to the end of the crazy conspiracy board theory

Bonus:

What if we got rebel Till in the song cover because it's not gonna happen canonically

RICH KIDS OF SK ( HYUNJIN X READER (Y/N) X BANG CHAN)

MEMORIES FROM THE PAST ( CHANGBIN FELIX Y/N HYUNJIN YEJI AS KIDS<3)

part one part two, part three, PART FOUR PART 6

When Y/N returned home after everything, she felt numb. Hyunjin's words echoed in her mind, casting a shadow over her thoughts, leaving her feeling blue. She couldn't shake the feeling that no matter what reason Yeji might give, it would never be enough to justify her actions.

As she sat there, the weight of Hyunjin's betrayal crashed over her like a tidal wave. How could he do this to her? Did their years of friendship mean nothing to him? Every memory, every shared moment now felt tainted by his actions. These feelings twisted inside her, gnawing at her heart and soul, dragging her down into a pit of despair. The realization that someone she trusted implicitly could betray her in such a way was a wound that cut deeper than she could bear.

Standing up, Y/N walked over to the old album where she kept her favorite pictures.

CHANGBIN AND Y/N

I.N, HYUNJIN AND Y/N

SCHOOL FELIX HYUNJIN YEJI Y/N

FELIX AND Y/N

As Y/N saw the pictures of her and Felix modeling, she remembered how Felix and Y/N made Felix's parents get them clothes from their company and clicked Felix and Y/N's photos. When Felix's father posted those pictures online, it became huge news since it was uploaded on Felix's dad's profile, who was the most famous designer, and also revealed Y/N's face.

At that time, Yeji was known as the chaebol princess. She was on every Korean magazine cover, as her parents wanted her to have a positive image in society and to be well-known. Y/N remembered how Yeji didn't talk to her for days because her pictures went viral. Y/N's memory of Yeji guilt-tripping her all the time flashed in front of her eyes. The guilt tripping and yejis mind games started after y/n and felix's pictures until they all turned 17.

Yeji's jealousy made her ask her parents why Y/N's face was not revealed until felixs fathers post and why she was kept away from the public eye till then. It was because Changbin was everywhere, attending every function with his parents so yeji became curious. That's when Yeji came to know the truth, when Y/N confessed to Hyunjin. Yeji couldn't handle Y/N taking away Hyunjin from her as well because Hyunjin was the only one who used to listen to Yeji, and Yeji was only her real self when Hyunjin was with her. There was a connection between Yeji and Hyunjin since they met each other; they could relate to each other, both born into families where they were trained to maintain a good image since childhood. For yeji hyunjin was a saviour and her prince but whenever y/n came hyunjin used to put all his attention towards y/n. that made yeji more jealous.

When Yeji saw Y/N confessing to Hyunjin, she couldn't bear the thought of losing Hyunjin, the only one she could share her pain with. That's when Yeji revealed Y/N's secret. After that secret was revealed, things became messy; parents were involved, and Yeji was asked to homeschool, her parents send her to america to attend ballet acadmey till her schooling is over. The secret that she revealed was nerve-wracking for Y/N. those memories came back to y/n and she couldn't sleep or do anything. She constantly felt that hyunjin didnt care that yeji tried to ruin y/ns life even thought the incident feel likes age ago y/n still felt scared that yeji might ruin hers and hyunjins friendship. suddenly y/ns phone buzzed and she forgot all her worries and smiled.
