Got my author copy of Sherlock is a Girl's Name from Improbable Press!

The anthology

What would the Great Detective be like if Sherlock Holmes was a woman? That’s the question answered in Sherlock is a Girls’ Name, an anthology imagining Sherlock Holmes as female, in tall tales that follow the great detective across time and even space.

The stories in this collection, selected by long-time Sherlockian editors Narrelle M. Harris @221b-hound and @atlinmerrick, imagine Holmes in deep space, 1990s Russia, Victorian London, contemporary USA, worlds of magic and more.

Holmes’ many Watsons include ghosts, robots, a young boy who doesn’t speak, a teenage tuba player, a stranger on a plane – and that’s just to start. In each story Holmes and her Watson do what they do best: solve crimes and have adventures!

Amazing cover art by Andrea L. Farley.

My story

The Case of the Man Who Wasn’t Dead: Modern-era medium Sherlock Holmes solves the murders of the dead who contact her via her spirit guide, Jane Watson, a nurse who died in 1944.

“You don’t have to be so rude,” Jane said. The light from the kitchen window didn’t affect her, didn’t set her red curls aglow or brighten her pale skin. But she was unfailingly lovely all the same, in that white sundress, with her hair swept back from her face and her lips bright red. If Jane were alive today, Sherlock thought, she’d probably be a fan of glitter lipstick, going around looking like she’d kissed one of Dorothy’s ruby slippers.

Sherlock did attempt not to make a habit of thinking about Jane Watson kissing things.

(Sherlock has a Crush.)

Andrea Belfi - Eternally Frozen - more low winds (see Jessica Pipe Sextet) but in this case they’re brass rather than reed instruments

Eternally Frozen consists of a series of canon based compositions for brass ensemble, percussion and synthesizer by Andrea Belfi. The canon is an ancient compositional technique in which an initial melody is imitated at a specified time interval by one or more parts, creating illusionary never-ending musical journeys. The work is inspired by the evocative image of the Deprong Mori, a mythological bat with the alleged ability to fly through solid matter by bending atoms by it’s natural skill of audio echolocation. The myth suggests that one of these bats had been “eternally frozen” in a wall of solid lead in 1952 by the researcher of the Rockefeller University, Donald R. Griffith. This story is exhibited in a display at the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, an institution renowned for both speculative, fantastical reinforcement of mythology and playful and beguiling distortions of mysterious could-be truths. Both the canon and the “frozen” Deprong Mori are man-made illusory simulations of eternity. Their attempt is to create mirages, where the insinuation of facts is more meaningful than the reality. After many years of sonic explorations with percussion, drums, and electronics, Belfi is here projecting himself as a composer through the direction of an astonishing brass ensemble in the realization of these canonic works. There are evident echoes of the works of Arthur Russell, Miles Davis, Moondog, William Basinski, and the Italian soundtrack tradition of Ennio Morricone and Egisto Macchi. Robin Hayward - Tuba Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø - Trombone Elena Kakailogu - French Horn Kaleidoskop Ensemble (Boram Lie, Ildiko Ludwig, Anna Faber, Mia Bodet, Mari Sawada, Yodfat Miron, Isabelle Klemt, Daniella Strasfogel): strings and choir on 1 Elisabetta Porcinai: cover art and design

Courtney Love, former Hole frontwoman, has recently come forward with more information about her highly anticipated solo album, which is the follow-up to her 2004 debut America's Sweetheart. She also shared her frustration with PJ Harvey, who turned down an invitation to collaborate on the album. Both Love and Harvey were major figures in the rock scene of the 1990s, with Love always expressing admiration for Harvey’s work. Love has publicly stated that Harvey’s 1992 debut Dry remains her favorite album by the British artist. She even once admitted, "The one rock star that makes me know I’m shit is Polly Harvey. I’m nothing next to the purity that she experiences." Andrea Fleming, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons However, in a candid interview with The Standard, Love expressed her disappointment that Harvey declined her offer to collaborate on the new album. While Love was careful not to give away too many details about the record, she did confirm that R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe would be featured. The two have worked together before, and Love expressed how moved she was by the collaboration. "Stipe mentioned our collaboration to The New York Times, so I can say it's gorgeous," Love said. "I fell down weeping hearing his voice – it's better than ever! I thought I knew the outcome, but I'm still the grasshopper while Michael is the sensei." Besides Stipe, Love also mentioned that guitarist of the highly influential Echo and the Bunnymen, Will Sergeant would be part of the album. She just couldn't help herself, she said she loves Sergeant as her favorite guitarist on earth. "If you lined up Jimmy Page, Jonny Greenwood and Will Sergeant, I'd take Sergeant every time; it's madness!" she exclaimed. "He's on this record and is taking songs to otherworldly heights. Despite these exciting collaborations, Love expressed frustration over Harvey's silence. "I did ask PJ Harvey to come back – I wanted just one of her great iconic Stones guitar riffs," she shared. "We have a relationship; I've endorsed her over the decades, but she chose not to respond to me. So I wrote her about how f***ing rude that was. Her manager tried to smooth things over, but it's not okay – she hasn't played rock music in 100 years! Her first five albums are great; after that, she ventured into art space (though I do love 'The Last Living Rose,' which feels like a John Donne poem with… WTF? A tuba?)" Love's comments are a mix of admiration and frustration that reveal the complexity of their relationship. She is still a huge fan of Harvey's early work, but she appears disappointed by what she feels Harvey has done with his music, moving away from rock music in his later work. In the same interview, Love also spoke about the direction of her music in the future. She said that she is interested in collaborating with artists from different genres, including rap and pop. Some of the names she mentioned include Kendrick Lamar, Stormzy, Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg, which indicates that her musical influences are diverse and that she is open to exploring new sounds in the future. Although Love has yet to release an official word on an album, she did give fans some hints during the interview. She mentioned she is working with the well-known producer Butch Walker. This may suggest that the new record will be a bit more professional and mature in sound. In addition to her musical endeavors, Love has been active on social media. In October 2023, she reactivated her TikTok account, where she has been teasing the upcoming album. "It’s Courtney, hi," she said in one clip. "I’m not going to have an official TikTok. I’m just gonna upload some teasers from my album that’s coming out… Christmas, if we’re lucky. I’m just gonna upload some teasers." Further clues about the tone of the album have also surfaced. In another TikTok video, Love characterized the record as "the longest record that's ever been written in the history of rock, so it better f***in' be good, no filler." In 2020, she had already described the album as "very sad," with a focus on minor chords that reflected the emotional depth of the work. Apart from her solo work, Love has also been a part of other musical projects. Just this month, she lent guest vocals to rapper 070 Shake's cover of Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren, showing that she is willing to experiment with different styles and artists. With the soon-to-be-released album, it is quite obvious that Love is fully devoted to keeping her fans hooked and excited. From collaboration with Michael Stipe to playfulness on TikTok, Love is evolving as an artist in a world of creativity. And though she might experience occasional setbacks, such as a disagreement with PJ Harvey, Love will never fail to be a major power player in the music world. Read the full article

"UNDERGROUND FOXES", ecco il singolo dei Venus Ship feat. Avex

Dall'8 novembre 2024 sarà disponibile sulle piattaforme digitali di streaming e in rotazione radiofonica "UNDERGROUND FOXES", il primo singolo dei Venus Ship feat. Avex  per Irma Records.

"Underground Foxes" è un brano che celebra il richiamo ai movimenti di protesta degli anni '60 e '70, omaggiando figure fondamentali nella lotta per i diritti civili. La musica, scritta da Moroni, mescola groove funk ispirati alla scena afroamericana con arrangiamenti orchestrali che ricordano Mingus ed Ellington. A questo si aggiunge il "flow" contemporaneo di Avex, che arricchisce il pezzo con riferimenti evocativi a icone come Rosa Parks, Malcolm X e Martin Luther King, rendendolo un tributo potente e attuale.

Commentano gli artisti a proposito del brano: "Un testo sociale che denuncia una società che non cambia oggi come allora, celando tematiche sociali di altre epoche ma mai così attuali..."

Biografia

Venus Ship è un collettivo di otto musicisti germogliato dall'underground bolognese. La band si ispira a movimenti di protesta anni 60 e 70 e alle storie di grandi personaggi che hanno lottato attivamente per i diritti civili ed umani. Di conseguenza, anche la musica che mette in scena, trae ispirazione da quell'Umus sociale di ribellione con sonorità molteplici che spaziano dagli spiritual della "Liberation Music Orchestra" alla musica di Charles Mingus, da influenze legate a New Orleans fino al funk tipico della cinematografia anni 70. 

Il collettivo è formato da: Ugo Moroni (chitarra, composizione, arrangiamenti), Andrea Salvato (flauto),  Marco Vecchio (alto sax), Federico Privitera (trumpet), Giuseppe La Stella (trombone), Michele Murgioni (tuba), Daniele Marrone (el. bass), Mattia Bassetti (drum).

"Underground foxes" è il nuovo singolo dei Venus Ship feat. Avex disponibile sulle piattaforme digitali di streaming e in rotazione radiofonica dall'8 novembre 2024.

NU ARTS AND COMMUNITY (III)

Il sabato si apre con un concerto piuttosto originale almeno nella formazione: si tratta di timpani, set di percussioni, marimba, vibrafono e trombone basso, interpreti gli studenti del Conservatorio “Cantelli” che nell’incantevole cortile di Palazzo Tornielli Bellini hanno eseguito musiche di Chrisopher Stern (la particolare “New York Variation”) e di altri compositori concludendo con la possente suite di Jan Deterling, giovane compositore contemporaneo.

Già dalla rappresentazione dello scorso anno proprio a Nu, si sarebbe dovuto pensare che Andrea Gattinoni avrebbe riscosso un altro successo cittadino, ed è puntualmente capitato con GOLGOTHA, la nuova produzione di HANGAR, un laboratorio di formazione attoriale, ormai affermato e che catalizza l’attenzione (fortunatamente) di tanti giovani talenti. È raro che una pièce teatrale sia praticamente contemporanea agli accadimenti che racconta, ma qualche volta accade. Per esempio è accaduto proprio con il testo di Andrea Gattinoni andato in scena nel tardo pomeriggio di sabato nel salone dell’Arengo del Broletto. I fatti della striscia di Gaza entrano tutte le sere nelle nostre case. Plot molto originale dove in una Berlino multientica un gruppo di adolescenti di origine ebraica ed araba, vivono direttamente l’esperienza della dialettica dell’odio, a causa del rapimento, da parte di Hamas, della sorella di una delle protagoniste. Il gruppo di amici di origine ebrea, per vendetta ed emulazione, decide di rapire due loro amici di origine araba, ma la sorella della rapita è anche molto amica della ragazza araba sequestrata. Si innesca così nel gruppo di amici ed amiche una dilaniante lotta, soprattutto psicologica, che la scrittura di Gattinoni rende al pieno di tutte le sue potenzialità. È così Kreuzberg, il loro quartiere nel quale c’è il “GOLGOTHA” locale di ritrovo (che dà il nome alla pièce) si trova ad essere, nella topografia dell’odio, un pezzo di Gaza attraverso questa proiezione simbolica che rilancia l’odio a distanze siderali e in condizioni totalmente diverse. Uno spettacolo morale oltre che teatrale, costruito sulla realtà qui e adesso. Le lacrime sincere dei giovani attori dell’Hangar di Gattinoni dànno l’idea, non solo della tensione del dopo spettacolo, ma anche della straordinaria partecipazione emotiva al testo rappresentato. Gattinoni ha scelto di lavorare con e su giovani adolescenti affrontando le loro tematiche, facendoli interpretare se stessi, una formula finora vincente. Ma le giornate del festival sono infinite, come da tradizione, ed ecco nel giardino di Palazzo Faraggiana un’altra magia targata Luigi Nono, ovvero un incantevole pezzo per tuba ed elettronica del 1987, dedicato dal grande compositore italiano a Giancarlo Schiaffini che lo ha eseguito per il pubblico di “Nu”. In programma altri brani di Nono sempre di impronta minimale, quasi un soffio, accompagnati dall’elettronica discreta di Walter Prati e dal toy piano di Ricciarda Belgiojoso. Racconta Schiaffini in una intervista: “Nono mi aveva chiesto di eseguire tutti i diversi suoni che potevo fare con la tuba e che potessero essere combinati con l’aiuto dell’elettronica. Tra questi c’era un suono che gli piaceva molto, fatto coi mezzi pistoni – cioè posizionando i pistoni a metà, per cui non producevo mai un suono intero, ma una specie di canto delle balene”. Averlo ascoltato tra le magnolie mosse dal vento e sotto l’imponente mole della Cupola antonelliana è stato ancora più emozionante.

La sera riserva ancora, al salone dell’Arengo, “Ruth” una performance di danza di Francesca Cola e Paola Lesina. Ruth creatura ibrida che danza un parto-nascita che sembra unire creature umane ed esseri animali, ma che riproduce nella cinestesia del corpo, i movimenti di tante specie di essere non necessariamente animali ma anche vegetali. I costumi, molto misterici, e naturali allo stesso tempo, e la scena essenziale con un ramo fogliato, riportano alle mente le creazioni di Chiara Camoni. Si termina la giornata a Nòva con due dj set.

Tradizionalmente la domenica di “Nu” è dedicata ad uno spettacolo per bambini. Anzi per bambini e adulti-bambini (quello del Pinocchio di Bene che per essere eterno sospendeva il divenire). Per questa domenica è la volta di “Circo Pacco – Paccottiglia Deluxe, cialtroneria di qualità superiore!” dove nome e slogan del duo torinese definiscono bene il tipo di comicità circense da aspettarsi. C’è stato un tempo in cui i clown sono stati snobbati; oggi, ridata la dignità che spetta loro, sanno ancora far ridere grandi e bambini (e per i secondi non era affatto scontato). Dopo qualche inevitabile cambio di programma, “Nu Arts and Community” 2024 si avvia alla conclusione con “a – nòva groove + Pit Coccato (closing act)” un pomeriggio dedicato alle band locali con concerto finale di Pit Coccato, interessante polistrumentista, mentre la serata si è aperta con “Mercurio” di Luna Cenere & Antonio Raia. Purtroppo a causa dell’orario posticipato della performance (e dell’intransigenza degli addetti), non ho potuto entrare in sala a spettacolo iniziato. Purtroppo oltre alla defezione del Dj El Rass a causa dei noti tragici fatti che coinvolgono il Libano, qualche altra defezione e qualche sovrapposizione di eventi hanno reso più complicata la vita agli spettatori più fedeli del Festival novarese.

Budapest RD -

CPom's RD still looks like the danciest, the most cohesive. it's playful, full of musical details, and skated beautifully. they tied for 1st in base value. it feels like there are some points available if they can put her in the air instead of those cute hops in the ChRS and to have even more build to the end. the judges were in close agreement on them- all the GOE were +2 or +3, and every PCS mark was 8.25-8.75. i wonder what that next step is to get those PCS nudging 9. and to get into +4's

Pirihara divided the judges more- their PCS range from 6.75 - 8.25, and their GOE start at 0, but they are getting a few +4s. the skating and polish isn't quite there yet, but they're selling it and performing to the max

the team tied for 1st in BV was Ignateva/Szemko, the Hungarian team - they train with Barbara Fusar-Poli. the packaging and choreo here doesn't really match the music, which is a thing with her teams - why doesn't she bring in collaborators then i wonder

the only level 3 Paso in the event was by Giulia Isabella Paolina and Andrea Tuba of Italy who train with Valter Rizzo - they're 16/21 yo and were on the JGP last season. their programs are by Massimo Scali, and they look secure in what they're doing - a good start to their first fully senior season, btw this and Lombardia - they said this in an interview recently -

Holly Harris and Jason Chan skating in hold and closer together than many teams in their paso:

every time i see them, i find something new that they do well, but they also tend to make these odd slips and stumbles - idk if that's a mental lapse - but it has to affect their confidence. i hope they can get that part under control. they were the only team in the event with level 3 for both in their midline. in the PSt, the stumble cost them 3+ points which would have had them a couple places higher
