Time Travel Question 64: Assorted Other Performances IV

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct grouping.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

I know a lot of people wanted to know why I chose L'apres Midi d'un Faune instead of Printemps on the first poll. Honestly I'd want to see both, but it was the Rudolf Nureyev's Faune tween me fell in love with when it was newly filmed. Rite of Spring didn't speak to me until I was a little older. It was arbitrary, and Printemps was always going to end up on a later poll. The enthusiasm for it was heart warming.

** London After Midnight is particularly lamented lost media so it gets it's own slot.

*** These are: Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin. They did not fit in the slot.

Maria Mikhailovna Kurenko. The forgotten name of the Russian singer.

Nowadays this name doesn't mean much to music lovers.However, in the early 20s of the last century, a reviewer for one of the Kyiv newspapers wrote: “The singer is the best coloratura soprano in Russia. "Nothing is impossible for her, neither technically nor vocally. She sings as easily as she breathes." “Without a doubt, among coloratura sopranos she is a star of the first magnitude.” In 1913, Maria Kurenko graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in solo singing under the famous teacher Umberto Masetti. Soon she made her debut on the stage of the Kharkov Opera in the role of Antonida in Glinka’s opera Ivan Susanin. Then Maria Mikhailovna was a soloist at the Kyiv Opera, and at the turn of the 1910s and 20s she sang at the Bolshoi Theatere and in the famous troupe of Sergei Zimin.

Unfortunately, the singer's artistic career in Soviet Russia was short-lived.In 1923, Kurenko received an invitation from Latvia, and for two seasons she performed there with great success in performances and concerts.Three years later, she went on a grand tour of Europe, after which she was invited to America. Kurenko's very first performance in Los Angeles in the role of Gilda brought the artist stunning success. “The performance of the singer Maria Kurenko, who is completely unknown to our public, was a triumph,” noted the critic for the Daily Times. The singer's popularity in the USA grew very quickly. She performed in the best opera houses, with first-class orchestras, wonderful conductors, and outstanding singers.She was one of a few artists honored to perform at the White House at the invitation of President Roosevelt. Kurenko had creative friendships with many musicians who found themselves in the United States.She was considered the most authoritative interpreter of Igor Stravinsky's vocal works. In the early 1930s, Alexander Grechaninov recorded twelve of his romances with her on gramophone records. Among the admirers of the singer's talent was Sergei Rachmaninov, who considered Maria Mikhailovna to be perhaps the best performer of his romances. Kurenko's chamber concert programs always included works by Russian composers - Glinka, Dargomyzhsky, Balakirev, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov. She performed Mussorgsky's songs magnificently, which were almost never performed at that time.

a thing I love about jet and alexander stravinski's performance is that, after hearing him in his full wild mode in clean break, I can hear that aspect of him so much more clearly in all his earlier material. that same wildness and half-real half-joking meanness is always there, just compressed and contained into wry humour and dry affect. I think that whole arc ran a tricky line of making jet Not Himself but also absolutely still himself, and the way it came out makes me reexamine the whole way he is the entire time.

[thecryptidcomposer]

why cant we have nice things

[sang8262]

so im working on a pretentious, i mean, JP themed playlist, and i really wanted to throw in a composer with the same initials as a joke

which is why Johann Pachelbel and Jean-Philippe Rameau have infiltrated this playlist despite having no other relevance to his character;;;

speaking of, here's what i got so far:

J. Pachelbel - any fugue, just... anything that isn't Canon in D

J.P. Rameau - Les Indes galantes, Forêts paisibles (but this rock cover specifically)

Sergei Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet, No. 14 Dance of the Knights (stolen from another JP playlist you know who you are lmao. it gets bonus points for being from a ballet)

Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op. 18 (there's a reason it's popular!! and i like the strings in it!!)

Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz No.2 (another popular one. it's a pretty tepid choice i admit)

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade, Op.35 (this one's pretty well known too. apparently there's optional yelling in the 4th movement?? gets bonus points for being a ballet)

Aram Khachaturian - Masquerade Suite (another popular one, especially the Waltz, which fits him rather well. though i also like Nocturne and Mazurka. apparently there's a ballet of this so that's bonus ballet points)

Khachaturian - Gayane, Sabre Dance (I'M KIDDING. but a JP hater would have chosen this)

Khachaturian - Gayane, Dance of the Comrades (since i do not hate him, i'm replacing the previous with this from the same ballet. and ofc, bonus ballet points)

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker, Arrival of Drosselmeyer (there was a whole thing on Twitter about how JP's smile resembles a nutcracker, so this was obvious. Uncle Drosselmeyer as a character is rather JP-esque as well, at least, when he's pretending to be nice)

Alexander Mosolov - Iron Foundry (referenced in JP's win quote to Zangief: "Seeing you, I can't help but recall Mosolov's Iron Foundry, tovarisch.")

Mosolov - Two Nocturnes, Op. 15 (it's really unsettling! and reminded me of JP's introduction scene in World Tour, with the horror elements)

Igor Stravinsky - The Firebird, The Infernal Dance of King Kastchei (bonus ballet points, and for sharing names with his j.HK) (honorable mention to Petrushka, another ballet, but it isn't exactly 'JP'. but i like Danse Russe so, i'm mentioning it lmao)

Alexander Scriabin!!! - everything!!! (recently discovered for me and im in love. there's a whole collection made by Dmitri Alexeev of all his works, and i can totally see JP doing paper work with it playing in the background)

this list is already too long, but here are some extra notes: Rimsky-Korsokov was part of 'The Mighty Five', also including Modest Mussorgsky, Mily Balakirev, Cesar Cui, and Alexander Borodin. This was a historically and musically significant group, which is why I wanted to at least name drop them. Actually, it was looking into Mosolov that sent me down the rabbit hole regarding similar Soviet-era composers. Obviously there's a lot going on here with the... artistic (and political) censorship at the time. Or, all of interesting stuff going on with composers finding influences from traditional folklore/ dances. Or alternatively, responding to and processing contemporary events through music, as a form of subtle protest...

But I've only glossed over these topics so I'm going to refrain from going too deep on it;;

As for connecting all this to JP, gosh idk, these comic pages from Vol. 3 and 4 seem relevant. I'll let these stew as a final thought:

Mariinsky Playbill — Concert Dances / Scenes de Ballet

Wow! Quite a few surprises on the Mariinsky playbill. First, Alexandra Khiteeva is cast in the premiere performance of Alexander Sergeev's new Concert Dances aka "Scenes de Ballet," to music by Stravinsky. I haven't seen much choreography by Sergeev, so not sure what to expect. I did see snippets of Twelve and was a bit baffled to be honest. But keeping an open mind.

I'm still digging into the history of Stravinsky's score and found that other big name choreographers have tackled this music. Frederick Ashton's Scenes de Ballet with Sarah Lamb:

Christopher Wheeldon's Scenes de Ballet:

Given the creative partnership between Balanchine and Stravinsky, I wondered if he created a ballet to this — or used it elsewhere. I'm not sure, but still reading...

[boccadorata]

🔥 + classical music!!

i love love love classical music but honestly i think people have way too many misconceptions about it. there's the popular 'classical music is the height of the auditory art form, it is Superior and others are inferior, it shows the height of western civilization' (not fucking true, duh) and also 'classical music is pretentious and everyone who likes it is stuffy' (also not true :( there are definitely pockets that are pretentious, comes with the territory of music fans LMAO, but it's way more approachable than people give it credit for)

but the one that really gets to me is 'classical music all sounds the same / just study music / sends me to sleep / sounds generic / etc etc' and its so stupid to get that heated about it i know but IT'S NOT!!!!! IT'S NOT TRUE!!!! classical music is what people, alkin people, listen(ed) to, it is highly variable -- yes, it has its realms of conformity and nonconformity (academic art vs surrealists, etc ....) but it is just so vibrant and speaks of so many voices. if classical sounds the same to you you're not listening to classical

again people tend to boil it down to just one thing when classical music is really more of an umbrella term and it is very frustrating. i fully believe there is a niche of classical that can appeal to almost all sorts of music tastes. i get it, it's daunting. that symphony is an hour long, you don't know what minor and major mean, people are using so many big words, wagner is there, but i just wanna sit people down and go pleaese. PLEASE just take a chance on it (abba favorite classical composer)

here's some REAL classical music to sleep/study to (a mix of faves and 'must listens' that i have a fondness for)

string quartet no. 4 - béla bartók

piano trio no. 2 - dmitri shostakovich

st. luke passion - krzysztof penderecki

the rite of spring - igor stravinsky

choir concerto - alfred schnittke

scheherazade - nikolai rimsky-korsakov

symphony no. 10 - dmitri shostakovich

🤥⚾️📢🪤 for sception/any other ocs you wanna do

oc emoji asks!

🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

better than a certain toilette "caved in and told his whole backstory to two kids he knew for less than 10 minutes" ree /j

for real, i think his lying game is pretty good. any weird discrepancy can be usually explained away by the fact that every adult in this series are a little off. and for the secrets that are on the more grounded end, getting him to reveal any of that (if you're not selainius) is like pulling teeth.

as for tells, its really a manner of knowing what to look for with him. spy work made him train out the most obvious of his tells, but he has a tendency to forcefully stuff his hands in his pockets to prevent his hands from giving him away. this paradoxically is a tell in and of itself, but hell if you know what the tell is for, exactly.

⚾ BASEBALL - can they play sports? what is their best position if they play a team sport? what's their strong suit (speed, power etc.)?

a few sports are off the table as a result of his eye injury, like basketball and baseball. for personal reasons, it would be ill-advised to put sception in a boxing or wrestling scenario, despite his combat training-- having a reduced field of vision in a combat scenario (even sports-based combat where there's a level of control) is anxiety inducing.

he'd probably do well in archery, or other agility/technique based sports.

discounting what i've said, though, in a team sport situation he'd be best equipped for any speed-based role on the side/support.

📣 MEGAPHONE - how loud are they? what do they speak like? got a voice claim?

my primary voiceclaim (in terms of vocal delivery, but not the voice actor i'd saddle him with), is alexander stravinsky, who voices jet siquliaq in the penumbra podcast. i've been trying to contend with which voice actor (in terms of actual voice) to give him and i've yet to figure it out.

as a result of me listening to tpp while i initially made him, this colors the rest of the answers of this prompt-- sception in present day is not particularly loud (which comes with the territory of a sabotage spy turned librarian) and has a typically measured tone. unlike jet, he has a few more instances of emotional inflection.

🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?

as much as he wants to move on from his old spy days... if they asked him to come back to deal with an Omega Toilet level danger again, he would. as stated in the link above, he values knowledge and keeping that open to others so he takes some interest in anything that would go against that and on some level he feels a sense of obligation to fight.

this gets complicated considering that he has connections and a life outside now.

out now: NOÉMI BÜCHI - MATTER

Release: November 25, 2022 Format: vinyl LP + digital Buy on  Bandcamp / Kudos Stream via Spotify / Apple Music

«Music gives us the illusion that time is not time, but space. It is then that the music transforms from process to object, which I find a very interesting thought; a materialisation of the sound process. Sound is matter.» - Noémi Büchi

Noémi Büchi’s debut album ‘Matter’ captures the tension between growth and decay, consonance and dissonance, mirroring Büchi’s own catharsis through music. Her most personal material to date, ‘Matter’ is an opus of refined, sculpted beauty, one that aims to blur the distinction between ephemerality and physicality. Inspired by late romantic classical music and early 20th century contemporary music, ‘Matter’ is driven by the compositional methodologies of Igor Stravinsky, Alexander Skrjabin, Gustav Mahler and György Ligeti to modern sound forms, adapting and expanding upon their ideas in an awe-inspiring exploration of cutting-edge potency and tactility.

Büchi structures the electronic works that constitute ‘Matter’ in movements, stratifying myriad instrumental parts like the constituent sections of an orchestra. During her work on the album, Büchi engaged in extensive research, obsessively studying specific chords and progressions, and searching for transcendent intonations with resonant properties; complexions of sound with the ability to connect with the listener’s body. Transforming our inner worlds into zones of suspension and levitation, Büchi exposes the listener to intoxicating slipstreams of sound. Prominent voices ascend, tectonic disturbances threaten the foundations, perception and sensation becomes subject to elemental countercurrents and inversions. ‘Matter’ illustrates the fraught pursuit of momentary equilibrium, and makes the fragility of euphoria tangible. Composer & sound artist Noémi Büchi creates electronic, symphonic maximalism. Her music is defined by delicate electronic-orchestral forms and textural rhythms. She strives for a combination of harmonic and dissonant sonorities, to evoke both intellectual and emotional euphoria. Büchi has appeared on the Light of Other Days and Visible Dinner labels, and is now an affiliate of -OUS, releasing ‘Hyle’ her debut EP on the label in spring 2022. As well as her solo output, Noémi Büchi is currently working with Feldermelder on their collaborative project Musique Infinie. Their debut album will also be released via -OUS in the near future.

Hola amigo ! Cuáles son tus 10 sinfonías favoritas? Soy el Diego, tenemos que vernos !

Pero escríbeme al WhatsApp, pues, jajajaja. Pensé que se te había olvidado esta página. Te respondo igual:

Gustav Mahler, Sinfonía no. 9

Ludwig van Beethoven, Sinfonía no. 6

Dmitri Shostakóvich, Sinfonía no. 10

Luis Advis, Sinfonía de los Tres Tiempos de América

Valentin Silvéstrov, Sinfonía no. 5

Piotr Ílich Chaikovski, Sinfonía no. 6

Gustav Mahler, Sinfonía no. 6

Jean Sibelius, Sinfonía no. 7

Mieczysław Weinberg, Sinfonía no. 3

Ígor Stravinski, Sinfonía de los Salmos 

Algunas aclaraciones: solo cité aquellas llamadas sinfonía propiamente tal (esto excluye todos los poemas sinfónicos). Esto al mismo tiempo deja aparte muchos de los trabajos sinfónicos compuestos por compositoras y que están en mi top, pero que no han recibido el nombre de sinfonías propiamente tal. En este último caso, estoy excluyendo a Gloria Coates, Gabriela Ortiz, Leni Alexander y a Sofiya Gubaidúlina (quien, por ejemplo, compuso Stimmen... verstummen).
