The Cradles of Electronic Music – Part 1

Pioneering spirit, unbridled curiosity, radicalism in artistic thinking, dissatisfaction with the status quo and the rejection of any boundaries shaped the climate into which electronic music was born. Artists and technicians, musicians and physicists were the parents who brought new music to the world in the 1950s - electronic music. Some of them called their works timbre music, others still stuck to terms like atonal music for a while, not having found a more adequate term yet. (Just to set things right: “atonal music” simply means not adhering to traditional harmonic concepts of a key and/or a mode – that´s it, no specific relation to electronics at all.)

In Cologne it were people like Werner Meyer-Eppler, a physicist and information theorist who had published a book about producing music using only electronics back in 1949.

And Rober Beyer, a composer and audio engineer, who had been thinking of a so called “Klangfarbenmusik” (timbre music) since the 1920s (not thinking exclusively of electronic equippment though).

The composer and music journalist Herbert Eimert was one of the other participants of the founding meeting of the NWDR (later WDR) “Studio für Elektronische Musik”. Eimert had been a “musical rebel since he started studying musical composition in 1919. His works and musical ideas were radical to such an amount, that he was expelled from the composition class at the Cologne “Musikhochschule”.

Fritz Enkel was the technician, who took up the ideas of the aforementioned musicians and scientists, put them into an “electro-technical” concept and brought the studio to real life.

Later composers and muscologists like Karlheinz Stockhausen and others used this studio for their musical artwork.

And also in Milan is was the liaison of music and science that brought to life the “Studio di Fonologia Musicale”. The musicians Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio initiated it and together with the physicist Alfredo Lietti, who developed the technical concept, they created the biggest studio of this kind and of their time, even better and larger equipped that the studio in Cologne.

Luciano Berio´s earlier works were influenced by Igor Stravinsky. He entered the realm of early electronic music from a rather serial approach. Later indeterminacy and probability became more and more important in his compositions and productions. Spoken words became a poart of his pieces soon after he started working at the Studio di Fonologia Musicale.

Bruno Maderna was not a composer based mainly in electronic music. Electronic music was “just” one of the fields he worked on. Maderna was a real “multi-genre” composer (and conductor, and teacher): orchestral works, kind of chamber music, music for specific instruments, electronic music. It´s interesting, that he also composed a work for non-electronic instruments (flute and cymbals) plus tape, introducing tape to live performances even before Xenakis did so.

Alfredo Lietti designed and manufactured most of the equipment of the studio in Milan. It was essential for the “birth” of this studio, that Lietti was able to transfer the ideas and needs of the two musicians into technical instruments, which he invented and made. Another extraordinary feature was his skilfulness in using parts of broken electronic devices, designing whole circuits around them to reach the goal, that was set by the musicians. After leaving RAI in 1962 he worked at the Plasma Physics Research Center in Lausanne.

The charm and appeal of these “old” techniques, the workflow, that these machines ask for, a workflow so much different from how we are used to produce our music today, has never stopped to attract artists and make them try to take more than just a “sniff”, but to produce some works with the technique of the 1950s/60s. The studio in Cologne is still available. The picture shows the German musician Bernd-Michael Land while working on the “Aliens-Project” in 2018.

01.18.23-01.24.23— Week Seventeen [Milan, IT, pt 2]

Our first few days in Milan were chilly. We layered up and headed out on the tram to see the sites. We quickly learned that we could power through the chill during the day but once the sun set, we needed to be back at the apartment.

On our first full day, we found a local pasta shop where the kids ordered fresh ravioli for lunch. Then we rode the 16 tram to the Duomo area. Atlas spotted a Starbucks [not available in TLV] and was thrilled to get a Frappuccino.

Hero kept saying he wanted “to see the church.” I’ll never forget his face when we walked off the tram and he turned around and saw it for the first time. It is so large [the fifth largest in the world as we learned from watching YouTube prior to our visit] and the site is impressive.

After we took photos in the palazzo in front of the Duomo, we walked over to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to see the architecture, shops, and restaurants. It was lovely.

After that, we headed to the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci, an amazing museum that includes exhibits on Italian food, the Milanese garbage and recycling program, combustion engines, da Vinci's inventions and replicas of his art, the history of Italian electronics, cartography, and air, naval, rail, and space. It was huge...a theme of Milan for me. I have long wanted to visit Milan but for some reason in my head, I imagined it to be far smaller than it is. The kids had a great time at this museum though it was a very long afternoon.

We headed back to the apartment on the tram. Atlas is so patient with Hero's endless questions. How many more minutes, Atlas? What train will we take, Atlas? What is the temperature, Atlas? How much longer until we get there, Atlas? This is Atlas being patient with Hero while waiting for the tram to come.

And a little tour of the most lovely apartment. It was styled in true Milanese architecture and design. We all came to absolutely love this apartment. Its location and style were perfect.

Italy joined the United Kingdom in the development of the new European Common Radar System Mark 2 (ECRS Mk2) radar for the Eurofighter Typhoon. The first phase of the collaboration, which will take place this fall, will see a team of engineers from Leonardo's radar site in Nerviano, based in Milan, join the Mk2 development team on Leonardo's website in Edinburgh.

The change represents the first step towards Italy's full participation in the ECRS Mk2 program. This formation of what is known as the "Joint Industrial Team" (IJT) follows the approval of a 'Declaration of Principles' (SoP) document by the Ministries of Defense of the United Kingdom and Italy

The ECRS Mk2 radar, currently being designed and built by Leonardo for integration with BAE Systems' Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, will be at the forefront of advanced hunting radar technologies. It features a multifunctional matrix (MFA) that will give Typhoon a world-leading reprogrammable electronic warfare capability, including broadband electronic attack, in addition to traditional radar functions. This means that he can find and then blind an opponent's radar, increasing the lethality and survivability of Eurofighter Typhoon, and the survivability of other systems.

Thomas Edison Biography

Thomas Edison - Inventor

The inventor of the light bulb, phonograph, and motion picture, Thomas Edison was granted 400 patents from 1879 to 1886. Though he changed technology forever, not all of his inventions were successful.

Biog Born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, Thomas Edison rose from humble beginnings to work as an inventor of major technology. Setting up a lab in Menlo Park, some of the products he developed included the telegraph, phonograph, the first commercially practical incandescent electric light bulb, alkaline storage batteries and Kinetograph (a camera for motion pictures). He died on October 18, 1931, in West Orange, New Jersey. Younger Years Inventor Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. He was the last of the seven children of Samuel and Nancy Edison. Thomas's father was an exiled political activist from Canada. His mother, an accomplished school teacher, was a major influence in Thomas’ early life. An early bout with scarlet fever as well as ear infections left him with hearing difficulties in both ears, a malady that would eventually leave him nearly deaf as an adult. Edison would later recount as an adult, with variations on the story, that he lost his hearing due to a train incident where his ears were injured. But others have tended to discount this as the sole cause of his hearing loss. In 1854, the family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, where Edison attended public school for a total of 12 weeks. A hyperactive child, prone to distraction, he was deemed "difficult" by his teacher. His mother quickly pulled him from school and taught him at home. At age 11, he showed a voracious appetite for knowledge, reading books on a wide range of subjects. In this wide-open curriculum Edison developed a process for self-education and learning independently that would serve him throughout his life. Early Career  At age 12, Edison set out to put much of that education to work. He convinced his parents to let him sell newspapers to passengers along the Grand Trunk Railroad line. Exploiting his access to the news bulletins teletyped to the station office each day, Thomas began publishing his own small newspaper, called the Grand Trunk Herald. The up-to-date articles were a hit with passengers. This was the first of what would become a long string of entrepreneurial ventures where he saw a need and capitalized on opportunity. Edison also used his access to the railroad to conduct chemical experiments in a small laboratory he set up in a train baggage car. During one of his experiments, a chemical fire started and the car caught fire. The conductor rushed in and struck Thomas on the side of the head, probably furthering some of his hearing loss. He was kicked off the train and forced to sell his newspapers at various stations along the route. While he worked for the railroad, a near-tragic event turned fortuitous for the young man. After Edison saved a 3-year-old from being run over by an errant train, the child’s grateful father rewarded him by teaching him to operate a telegraph. By age 15, he had learned enough to be employed as a telegraph operator. QUOTES - “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” —Thomas Edison For the next five years, Edison traveled throughout the Midwest as an itinerant telegrapher, subbing for those who had gone to the Civil War. In his spare time, he read widely, studied and experimented with telegraph technology, and became familiar with electrical science. In 1866, at age 19, Edison moved to Louisville, Kentucky, working for The Associated Press. The night shift allowed him to spend most of his time reading and experimenting. He developed an unrestricted style of thinking and inquiry, proving things to himself through objective examination and experimentation. Initially, Edison excelled at his telegraph job because early Morse code was inscribed on a piece of paper, so Edison's partial deafness was no handicap. However, as the technology advanced, receivers were increasingly equipped with a sounding key, enabling telegraphers to "read" message by the sound of the clicks. This left Edison disadvantaged, with fewer and fewer opportunities for employment. In 1868, Edison returned home to find his beloved mother was falling into mental illness and his father was out of work. The family was almost destitute. Edison realized he needed to take control of his future. Upon the suggestion of a friend, he ventured to Boston, landing a job for the Western Union Company. At the time, Boston was America's center for science and culture, and Edison revelled in it. In his spare time, he designed and patented an electronic voting recorder for quickly tallying votes in the legislature. However, Massachusetts lawmakers were not interested. As they explained, most legislators didn't want votes tallied quickly. They wanted time to change the minds of fellow legislators.

Becoming an Inventor  In 1869, Edison moved to New York City and developed his first invention, an improved stock ticker, the Universal Stock Printer, which synchronized several stock tickers' transactions. The Gold and Stock Telegraph Company was so impressed, they paid him $40,000 for the rights. Edison was only 22 years old. With this success, he quit his work as a telegrapher to devote himself full-time to inventing. In 1870, Thomas Edison set up his first small laboratory and manufacturing facility in Newark, New Jersey, and employed several machinists. As an independent entrepreneur, Edison formed numerous partnerships and developed his products for the highest bidder. Often that was Western Union Telegraph Company, the industry leader, but just as often, it was one of Western Union's rivals. In one such instance, Edison devised for Western Union the quadruplex telegraph, capable of transmitting two signals in two different directions on the same wire, but railroad tycoon Jay Gould snatched the invention from Western Union, paying Edison more than $100,000 in cash, bonds and stock, and generating years of litigation. With his ever-increasing financial success, in 1871 Edison married 16-year-old Mary Stilwell, who was an employee at one of his businesses. During their 13-year marriage, they had three children, Marion, Thomas and William, who became an inventor. Mary died of a suspected brain tumor at the age of 29 in 1884. By the early 1870s, Thomas Edison had acquired a reputation as a first-rate inventor. In 1876, he moved his expanding ope rations to Menlo Park, New Jersey, and built an independent industrial research facility incorporating machine shops and laboratories. That same year, Western Union encouraged him to develop a communication device to compete with Alexander Graham Bell's telephone. He never did. However, in December of 1877, Edison developed a method for recording sound: the phonograph. Though not commercially viable for another decade, the invention brought him worldwide fame. The 1880s would be a busy time for Thomas Edison too. Edison Illuminating Company In the early 1800s, English inventor Humphry Davy created the first early electric arc lamp and during the next several decades scientists such as Warren de la Rue, Joseph Wilson Swan, Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans worked to perfect electric light bulbs or tubes using a vacuum, but were unsuccessful in their attempts to commercialize an efficient electric light bulb. Edison was also driven to perfect a commercially practical incandescent light bulb. After making improvements in his design (as well as buying Woodward and Evans' patent in 1879), he was granted a patent for his own improved light bulb in 1879, and began to manufacture and market it for widespread use. In January 1880, Edison set out to develop a company that would deliver the electricity to power and light the cities of the world. That same year, Edison founded the Edison Illuminating Company—the first investor-owned electric utility—which later became the General Electric Corporation.- In 1881, he left Menlo Park to establish facilities in several cities where electrical systems were being installed. In 1882, the Pearl Street generating station provided 110 volts of electrical power to 59 customers in lower Manhattan. In 1884 Edison's wife, Mary, died, and in 1886, he married Mina Miller, 19 years his junior. In 1887, Edison built an industrial research laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey, which served as the primary research laboratory for the Edison lighting companies. He spent most of his time there, supervising the development of lighting technology and power systems. He also perfected the phonograph, and developed the motion picture camera and the alkaline storage battery. Industrialist and Business Manager Over the next few decades, Edison found his role as inventor transitioning to one as industrialist and business manager. The laboratory in West Orange was too large and complex for any one man to completely manage, and Edison found he was not as successful in his new role as he was in his former one. Edison also found that much of the future development and perfection of his inventions was being conducted by university-trained mathematicians and scientists. He worked best in intimate, unstructured environments with a handful of assistants and was outspoken about his disdain for academia and corporate operations. He eventually became embroiled in a longstanding rivalry with Nikola Tesla, an engineering visionary with academic training who worked with Edison's company for a time, parting ways in 1885. The two would publicly clash about the use of direct current electricity, which Edison favored, vs. alternating currents, which Tesla championed. The latter inventor entered into a partnership with George Westinghouse, an Edison competitor as well, and thus a major business feud over electrical power came into being. One of the unusual and cruel ways Edison tried to convince people of the dangers of alternating current was through public demonstrations in which animals were electrocuted. One of the most infamous of these shows was the 1903 electrocution of a circus elephant named Topsy in New York's Coney Island. On a couple of occasions, Edison was able to turn failure into success. During the 1890s, he built a magnetic iron-ore processing plant in northern New Jersey that proved to be a commercial failure. Later, he was able to salvage the process into a better method for producing cement. On April 23, 1896, Edison became the first person to project a motion picture, holding the world's first motion picture screening at Koster & Bial's Music Hall in New York City. As the automobile industry began to grow, Edison worked on developing a suitable storage battery that could power an electric car. Though the gasoline-powered engine eventually prevailed, Edison designed a battery for the self-starter on the Model T for friend and admirer Henry Ford in 1912. The system was used extensively in the auto industry for decades. During World War I, the U.S. government asked Thomas Edison to head the Naval Consulting Board, which examined inventions submitted for military use. Edison worked on several projects, including submarine detectors and gun-location techniques. However, due to his moral indignation toward violence, he specified that he would work only on defensive weapons, later noting, "I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill." By the end of the 1920s Thomas Edison was in his 80s and he slowed down somewhat, but not before he applied for the last of his 1,093 U.S. patents, for an apparatus for holding objects during the electroplating process. Edison and his second wife, Mina, spent part of their time at their winter retreat in Fort Myers, Florida, where his friendship with automobile tycoon Henry Ford flourished and he continued to work on several projects, ranging from electric trains to finding a domestic source for natural rubber. Final Years Thomas Edison died of complications of diabetes on October 18, 1931, in his home, "Glenmont," in West Orange, New Jersey. He was 84 years old. Many communities and corporations throughout the world dimmed their lights or briefly turned off their electrical power to commemorate his passing. Edison's career was the quintessential rags-to-riches success story that made him a folk hero in America. An uninhibited egoist, he could be a tyrant to employees and ruthless to competitors. Though he was a publicity seeker, he didn’t socialize well and often neglected his family. By the time he died he was one of the most well-known and respected Americans in the world. He had been at the forefront of America’s first technological revolution and set the stage for the modern electric world. Edison, considered one of America's leading businessmen, is credited today for helping to build America's economy during the nation's vulnerable early years.

 Mixing supervisor Andrea Felli (Farmhouse, Rimini)
 Text researches Margherita Wolenski Produced by Elisabeth Zimmermann Production ORF Kunstradio In collaboration with Giardini Pensili

First broadcasting 27 December 2020, Ö1 Kunstradio - Radiokunst 
For Lia Dalò

HA is a sound forest created from the real voice of Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) intertwined with instrumental and electronic sounds. A sensorial journey in her phonetics where words are transformed into cartographical sonic materials. A cinematic and experimental approach where, however, even complex materials are organized in a radio composition accessible to all audiences. A long and laborious work of composition and editing has transformed Arendt's voice into a grid, a map, an acoustic immersive architecture made up of many micro cells of a few seconds each. Every one with its own parameters (volume, reverb, spatialisation, etc.) in order to create an always moving dynamic multi layers radio composition.  

The reference book of the whole project is her most seminal work The Human Condition (1958) and its three human activities (labor, work, action) create sections of the radiowork. Together with Arendt’s own texts, those of the Italian philosopher Adriana Cavarero and Elias Canetti were utterly important for the project.

"The voice as an element that frees language from the constraint of the symbolic order" (Canetti)

 “Canetti himself claims to be a listener rather than an observer. This predilection for sound matter, far from presenting itself as a curious trait, is claimed by him as a cognitive specialty, particularly prolific and original.(...) A specific term would have to be found to designate this sonority of plural voices that utter different words simultaneously, yet do not produce a cacophony. And, of course, this term should be so flexible that it could also include the harmonic sound of a plurality that recites or sings in unison, yet it is not a harmony. Many elements suggest calling it pluriphony. " (Adriana Cavarero)

The soundscapes in the piece were recorded by the artist on the 27th January 2018 at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
 Roberto Paci Dalò considers HA to be a seminal work for him: here he reflects on his career as radio-maker by putting back into play early actions and methodologies together with his peculiar today’s practice combining avant-garde, popular culture and technology. Roberto grew up alongside friends like Robert Adrian and Heidi Grundmann who helped him to forge his own radio methodology – and true passion – that has been able to develop in over thirty years of international radio projects among the most adventurous and dedicated to of the continuous encounter between languages and territories for a real media dramaturgy (a term he coined in the mid-Nineties to define his work).

HA has been initially developed in 2018 at the JRC Joint Research Center - European Commission in Ispra (Italy). The collaboration with the European Commission engineer and philosopher Nicole Dewandre played a key role in its development leading to an investigation throughout Hannah Arendt's thought. 
Roberto Paci Dalò has been working in collaboration with scientists at laboratories and the Centers for Advanced Studies of the JRC on topics such as Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, Text Mining, Demolinguistics. During the first part of the project he created and premiered live in performance at JRC the piece ‘Space Is the Place’ for radio telescope sounds and modular synth. The project went on with Radio Arendt (a series of radio and philosophy workshops conducted by Roberto Paci Dalò and Nicole Dewandre in Barcelona, ​Sarajevo and Trieste); HA ARENDTRIESTE, interactive sound-video installation created for the Both Ways exhibition presented within Trieste ESOF 2020 and produced together with Trieste Contemporanea (here you can visit the VR version of the exhibition); HANNAH, live radio performance presented on Radio India - Teatro di Roma as part of the ‘Atlas of Transitions’ Biennale’s program (here is the podcast).

Thanks to Adriana Cavarero, Nicole Dewandre, Giuliana Carbi Jesurun, Marina Lutmann, Adriaan Eeckels, Elisabeth Zimmermann, Heidi Mancino. 
Thanks for their precious listening during the making of the piece to Gabriele Frasca, Stephanie Chauvel, Benedetta Calisesi Stern.

 HA was completed during Hanukkah 2020.

 It is suggested to listen to the piece with headphones in order to fully experience the movements and spatialisation of the sound.

BLM x EDM: A Moment to Appreciate Black Artists in Electronic Music

By Diana Lustig and Isiah Kurz, Kusheen Magazine

Only half-way in and 2020 is already turning out to be a mindfuck of a year. COVID-19 all but eliminated live music. The economy tanked all but a few essential industries. And systemic racism came to a head with the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others. Yeah, 2020 has been a shit year by all counts.

But despite all of this, I am working hard — desperately hard — to find some hope. Even with the coronavirus shuttering venues and festivals, thousands of incredible artists provide livestreams to keep our spirits up. Even though the economy took a nosedive, it was funny to note that booze and cannabis are deemed “essential.” And even in the face of tyranny and police brutality, we have seen an entire globe rise up in stern rebuke calling for justice and equality.

Yes, 2020 is a hellstorm. But as they say: the mind is its own place, and in itself can make a hell of heaven.

In that same spirit, Kusheen wants to take a moment to appreciate and celebrate a few of the black artists that have contributed to EDM culture, while acknowledging the rich history of gay and black culture that has brought the electronic music scene to where it is today. 

Honey Dijon

Honey Dijon is a mixologist extraordinaire—and I’m not talking about cocktails. It takes an adept DJ to blend Detroit house, Chicago jack and Euro electro into something as sweet and savor as a Honey Dijon mix.

Born Honey Redmond, Honey Dijon grew up in the south side of Chicago where she was mentored by such influential names as Derrick Carter, Mark Farina and Greenskeepers. Honey Dijon has since moved out of Chicago to split her time between New York and Berlin, Germany — sharing the best beats across the Atlantic and back.

“For me, house music has never just been about DJing and fashion has never been about clothing,” she says. “It’s always been about the possibility of a more beautiful life.”

Beyond her career as a DJ/Producer and fashion icon, Honey Dijon is also an activist advocate for trans rights and awareness, speaking from her own experience as a black trans woman in the dance music scene.

“The DJ world is still a boy’s club in a lot of ways,” Honey Dijon told the New York Times in 2013. “I’ve always wanted my talent to speak for itself. I didn’t want ‘black’ or ‘trans’ or any of it to speak for me. Now I am beginning to realize the importance of it because there is really hardly any visibility for black trans women.”

Green Velvet

Curtis Jones has gone by many names over the years: Cajmere, Geo Vogt, Half Pint, Curan Stone, Gino Vittori — and of course, Green Velvet.

Green Velvet is one of my favorite go-to artists. His sound is perfect for a house party with friends, sweating at the gym or driving too fast. He’s also an electro heavyweight who has put his time into the scene.

Way back when, Jones left a master’s degree in chemical engineering to focus entirely on a career in music. And while I’m not sure about his chemical engineering, I do know he has a talent for engineering music with a unique sound; from the punk-inspired track “Whatever” to the jocular song “Flash,” Green Velvet is always pushing creative tunes with creative lyrics.

12th Planet

Straight out of Los Angeles, John Christopher Dadzie (aka 12th Planet and Infiltrata) is an American dubstep producer who has collaborated with some of the biggest names in EDM, including Skream, Russo, Kill the Noise, Diplo, Datsik, Doctor P, and Skrillex. 12th Planet is so influential that some music critics credit him as one of the first ambassadors of dubstep in the United States. Rolling Stone even named him the “Los Angeles dubstep god.” And that he is. Thriving in the underground scene of Los Angeles where he, along with his label SMOG Records, have brought the British dubstep movement stateside. 

If you’ve been to a big ticket festival like Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC, Hard or Ultra, you’ve almost certainly seen him on the lineup — if not at one of his sets.

Carl Cox

Carl Cox is a legend if there ever was one. This British house and techno producer got his start at 15 working as a mobile DJ. Within a short time he was already well known for his uncommon talent of three-deck mixing.

Even when the music scene shifted over the years, Cox retained his techno sound, continuing to refine it and revive it in his own way. "Techno drives home somewhere," Carl Cox says. "It takes you to an element of surprise, not knowing where you're going. It's scary but wonderful at the same time."

After spending almost 40 years in the scene, Cox is still at it with an Ibiza residency and his own record label.

DJ Sliink

DJ Sliink is well-known in the Jersey club scene, a style of electronic music he describes as “this unique club music that’s for the inner city. I would describe it as clever, with vocal chops with a half beat, breaks from Baltimore, and crazy kicks.” Through Jersey club, Sliink met Skrillex who he collaborated with, even joining Skrillex’s label, OWSLA. But the collabs don’t stop there, check out Sliink collabing with Flosstradamus, Wale, Fetty Wap and Alexandar Smash, soundtracking Paris runway shows and spinning in London, Paris, Milan and Oslo. 

If his high-energy blend of trap and hip-hop wasn’t hyphy enough, DJ Sliink takes his position in the scene one step further by being vocal about the lack of representation in the electronic music scene, calling on Spotify’s curator, Austin Kramer, to add more black artists to curated playlists and speaking out about racial inequality this week with Billboard. 

Lotic

Lotic (J’Kerian Morgan) is another producer shaking up the scene — but this time, in Berlin. The Texas-born electronic artist is known for such tracks as “Hunted,” “Buy a Print,” and “Heterocetera.”

Lotic admits never really vibing with American culture, so after completing a degree in electronic music production at University of Texas, they moved to Berlin to find like-minded artists. But, as is the case with most visionaries, Lotic started bucking the normal club sound to create something more personal, vulnerable and new; especially as it relates to their identity as trans and black.

“Anything I’m afraid of I’m putting it on the record,” Lotic said in an interview with The Fader. “I did a lot of crazy emotional work in the process of writing.”

Visibility Matters

We’ve undoubtedly missed some of your favorite artists and failed to mention a number of amazing producers. Which is why we encourage you to let us know your favorite artists via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. We’ll add your recommendations to our Kusheen playlist.

Finally, remember that the fight for black rights and against police brutality is ongoing. Use whatever means are in your power to combat white supremacy including (but not limited to) protesting, social media, calling your local politicians, voting, donating, supporting black-owned businesses, educating yourself, and of course — using the power of music to change hearts and mind.

Black Lives Matter. Black Dreams Matter. Black Visibility Matters.

SAIL 2017 - BUFEO BLANCO, THE WINNER CLASSIC YACHT 2017

10 maggio 2017 - Blanco is one of the most well known classic sailing yachts of the Mediterranean, winner of many classic yachts races. Long 15,50 mt, it was built in 1963 with mahogany and durmast wood by the famous Ligurian Shipyard Sangermani of Lavagna. During the last decade, Bufeo has sailed for more than 50.000 nautical miles all over the Mediterranean, from Turkey to Spain, from Greece many times to Croatia, from Cote d'Azur to Trieste, crossing over Sardinia and Sicily. She is looking for a new owner, why? Better read the article. Bufeo Blanco, the white dolphin of the Amazon Bufeo Blanco is one of the most well known classic sailing yachts of the Mediterranean, protagonist of many navigations and winner of the most prestigious international classic yacht races. This strong bermudian cutter long 15,50 mt, entirely built in wood in 1963 by the famous Ligurian Shipyard Sangermani of Lavagna (project number 138), during the last decade has sailed for more than 50.000 nautical miles. Bufeo Blanco is the name of a white dolphin of the Amazon and in the Peruvian tradition brings luck to those who could see him. The writer Mario Vargas Llosa, in the book “Pantaleòn and the Visitors” describes the Bufeo Blanco as an animal pf an incredible sexual power, which fat invigorates the men and make them more prolific. Bufeo Blanco has sailed all over Italian coasts to Spain, from Turkey to Peloponnesus, from Sicily to North Adriatic Sea, from Croatia to France, giving demonstration of being able to afford any meteo condition. Today the boat is based between Liguria and Tuscany, Italian flag with the burgee of the Reale Yacht Club Canottieri Savoia (Naples) and of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (London), it is member of the prestigious Monegasque "Belle Classe", the Club which welcomes the most beautiful and noble classic sailing yacht still navigating. Five owners since the birth As of 1963 Bufeo Blanco has had five owners. The boat was ordered by the entrepeneur Sergio Rossi, owner of the Comau Automotive in Turin. At that time the name was Luima, like the the son and daughter of Mr Rossi, Luigi and Maria. The base was in Cote d'Azur. From 1973 to 1983, the entrepreneur Luigi Botto Steglia took her. He decided to change the name into Bufeo Blanco. From 1983 and 1992, this bermudian cutter has navigated under the ownership of the Milanese designer Ido Minola who sailed in the Mediterranean up to Greece. From 1992 and 2006, the yacht had a new owner, the notary Luigi Oneto of Alessandria. This is the time of participation at the international meetings of classic yachts, like the Prada Trophy of Imperia. Luigi Oneto is well known as sailor on board of Dinghy 12 class. During that period the direct challenger of Bufeo Blanco is Artica II, the bermudian yawl lenght 12,56 mt built by the same Shipyard Sangermani of Lavagna upon instruction of the ItaIian Navy as a training sailing ship. In 2006 Bufeo Blanco was bought by Professor Giuseppe Marino(g.marino@marinoeassociati.it). The History of a youth passion In 1992, when he was 27, Giuseppe Marino used to journey in Salina, a small island of the Eolie arcipelagus, Sicily, where Luigi Oneto began his professional career. Families are friends together. The year before Oneto, on his way back from a sailing cruise in Malta, acquired Bufeo Blanco in Catania. In that period, Giuseppe Marino participated to the transfer of the boat to Genoa Sestri Ponente for a complete refitting. At the same time, Oneto conducted an historical research in Cote d'Azur, where the boat used to sail between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco, in order to find the original pieces of Bufeo Blanco. The original winches were found in a Shipyard in Monaco, together with the bell, the still admiralty anchor and the boat hook. Always in 1992, after the refitting in Liguria, Bufeo Blanco sailed to Salina. There was no Marina at that time, so the boat was moored at buoy in front of the commercial port. She was so beautiful that the entire Salina community adopted her. In the same time, Giuseppe Marino, after a degree in business administration at Bocconi University and in law at the University of Milan, was researcher of international tax law in the Netherlands. Nothing impeded to think at Bufeo Blanco as the boat of his dreams. And the dreams often may come true. From Sicily to the Del Carlo Shipyard of Viareggio, "Cecco" says yes! During the summer 2016 Giuseppe Marino arrives in Salina but Bufeo Blanco is not there. She is in the Marina of Portorosa, nearby Milazzo, for maintenance. Notary Luigi Oneto wishes to sell the boat to the young lawyer who accepts upon the condition that wood hull is in a good shape. In the month of September Giuseppe Marino and his wife Francesca visit the Imperia meeting of classic yachts, where they meet Vieri Mannucci Benincasa, master sailor former member of the Prada team who was already involved into the refitting of Danae, another Sangermani of 1955, long 16,50 mt. A crew member of Danae, Achille Bontà, says to Giuseppe: "remember, the boat is a complex system living in a hostile environment. Everything you put inside will break, the less you have the less you break". The message hits Giuseppe who takes as a mission to restore Bufeo Blanco as she was built. At the end of September 2006, Bufeo Blanco leaves Sicily having Giuseppe Marino, his father and Vieri Mannucci on board with a great "parmigiana di melanzane", and after Vibo Valentia, Marina di Camerota, Capri, Riva di Traiano, Cala Galera, the arrival in Viareggio at the Del Carlo Shipyard. Here "Cecco", the founder in 1963 of a great reality specialized in the refitting of wooden yachts, takes his penknife and tucks it into several points of the hull, and then says, "the boat is good!". Now the dream comes true, the adventure may start. The refitting and the participation to classic yachts regattas At the Del Carlo Shipyard, under the direction of Vieri Mannucci Benincasa, the refitting of Bufeo Blanco is initiated. The interiors are philologically restored, the hydraulic, electric and electronic plant are totally renewed, a generator, a water machine and an air conditioning system are on board for the first time. The old engine Yanmar 55 hp is substituted with a Volvo Penta 75 hp. The works go further from November 2006 until June 2007. Since then, a very long list of destinations, which demonstrate the good quality construction and refitting of this bermudian cutter. That year Bufeo Blanco participates at the Argentario Sailing Week in Porto Santo Stefano, where with a set of old sails and a friends and family crew, reaches the third position after Swala and Artica II. Then a long navigation down to Salina where she receives a warm welcome back home. After summer time, up to Cannes for the Regates Royales, with the strongest hail in the history of the regatta. The infinite cruises Since 2008 Bufeo Blanco is based in Le Grazie, a cute and safe harbor in the gulf of La Spezia. During the decade, Bufeo participates to many regattas, in back at the Argentario Sailing Week, the Classic Week in Naples, then a beautiful cruise in the Ionian islands of Greece, once back in Le Grazie she participates at the meeting Sulla Rotta di Imperia (which shall be renamed Valdettaro Classic Boats). In 2009, after 60 knots in Elba Island at the Marina di Campo (20th June 2009), again the Classic Week in Naples and then all the Sicilian islands, from Eolie to Egadi and back to Le Grazie. In 2010, a young and trustworthy navigator enters in the life of Bufeo Blanco and the Marinos Family, Marco Buonanni, a neapolitan former Navy officer who sails for thousands miles. This is the time when Bufeo Blanco crosses the Corinth Canal with destinations the Sporades, with step in Cape Sounion, Khalkis, Skiathos, Skopelos (where the movie "Mamma Mia" has been played), Alonissos, and Skyros. In 2011 the destination is Spain, via Marseille and Golfe du Lion, to participate at the Puig Vela Clasica Trophy in Barcelona, then Baleares Ibiza, Formentera, Maiorca and Minorca where she participates at the Copa del Rey Clasica Panerai regatta. In October the victory of the Vele Storiche Viareggio. 50.000 nautical miles In 2012 Bufeo Blanco wins the Naval Academy Trophy in Livorno, then down in Croatia for cruise (from Dubrovnik to Spalato and Kornati islands) she arrives in Venice and Trieste where a strong bora wind wins the Barcolana Classic. The "foreign boat" is coming before 70 boats based in the Adriatic sea. After Trieste, back in the Tirrenian sea at the Palomba Shipyard in Torre del Greco, nearby Naples where she is prepared for the celebrations of her 50th birthday of 2013. The entire hull is back at mahogany wood with durmast frames. Just few substitutions and then caulking. Under the waterline a big writing 50 AUGURI BUFEO, so when she goes close to the wind photographers know which boat they are taking pictures. In 2013 a great victory at the Classic Week of Naples(Panerai Trophy), then Corinth Canal, Mykonos, Cyclades (from Samos down to Symi) and Turkey for cruise and from Rodhes all the way to Monaco to win La Belle Classe, the exclusive club of the most beautiful classic boat of the world. In 2014 Bufeo Blanco participates at all the events of the Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge (Antibes, Argentario, Neaples, Mahon and Imperia) and has also the time to cruise back in the Ionian islands of Greece. Around 5000 nautical miles per year, for a total of more than 50.000 nautical miles of navigation with all meteo conditions. The mast down in regatta, Gilber Pasqui builds a new one At the Classic Week of Imperia in 2014, during the second regatta, Bufeo Blanco had her mast coming down with the spinnaker on. The mast was made in 1963 with Canadian sitka spruce and breaks just over the boom, with no damages to the crew and to the boat (Bufeo Blanco means lucky boat). During that winter the Gilbert Pasqui Shipyard of Villefranche-sur-mer builds a new one, again withCanadian sitka spruce, using modern bonding techniques. The new mast has a lenght of 17,10 mt. New crosstrees in durmast, new winches and new shrouds. Today the boat has two sets of sail, for regatta (main sail, jib, genoa 1, genoa 2, genoa 3, gennaker 1, gennaker 2 and spinnaker) and for cruise (main sail, yankee and staysail). During 2015 is ready to go around the Peloponnesus, through Corinth Canal, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Monemvasia, Elafonissos, Kitira, Cape Matapan and Kalamata. New participation at La Belle Classe during the Monaco Classic Week where she is still on the podium. In 2016 Bufeo Blanco, with the help of a young neapolitan sailor, Daniele Niglio, wins the AIVE (associazione italiana vele d'epoca) race from La Spezia to Capraia and the Classic Week in Gaeta, while arrives in the third place at the Classic Week in Naples. The cruise is all around Corsica and Sardinia with stops in Asinara island, Alghero, Carloforte and Villasimius. Tireless and unrestrainable Bufeo!What for 2017? Plans are still open for discussions! Bufeo Blanco is looking for a new owner The owner Giuseppe Marino, after many Mediterranean navigations is dreaming a new adventure: to cross the Columns of Hercules and cruise around the world. The sea is in the History of his Family. Son of an Admiral, he is a Lieutenant in reserve of the Italian Navy. Bufeo Blanco is perfect for a crew of 4-6 people but she has not conceived to afford the ocean. This is the reason why is looking for a new lover for this boat. If you want to know the value of Bufeo Blanco, for a private negotiation, you may directly contact Giuseppe Marino.

Inside American Airlines’ Scramble as Virus Grounds Jets by Hundreds

American is canceling about 40 percent of its flights each day, and expects more cutbacks in the days ahead as demand slides further. Those that are flying are mostly empty, with just a few people aboard, costing the company many thousands of dollars with each trip. American Airlines said last week that it had secured $1 billion in financing and had a total of $8.4 billion in available liquidity. If you were an American Airlines executive what would you do if your most popular flight, which if from JFK in New York to Los Angeles, has only 6 passengers: (1) continue flying the plane or (2) cancel the flight? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?

On Monday morning, American Airlines Flight 1 departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, bound for Los Angeles. It had six passengers.

The flight is normally one of the airline’s busiest and most profitable. Now it is a money pit, a cross-country symbol of how thoroughly the coronavirus pandemic has decimated commercial air travel in a matter of weeks.

Never before has customer demand dropped so swiftly, and never before has it been less clear when — or even if — the global airline industry will truly recover.

“This is scary,” said José Freig, American’s head of Latin America operations, who is now managing the company’s coronavirus response team. “It’s difficult to find a bottom on this one.”

In recent weeks, nearly every part of the airline, the largest in the United States, has been transformed by efforts to slow the spread of the virus.

American is canceling about 40 percent of its flights each day, and expects more cutbacks in the days ahead as demand slides further. Those that are flying are mostly empty, with just a few people aboard, costing the company many thousands of dollars with each trip. With the exception of a few flights to Mexico and a few islands in the Caribbean, American has ceased most of its international routes. The company’s stock had fallen 66 percent since mid-February, before rebounding on Tuesday.

“It’s very uncertain times,” said Dennis Tajer, an American Airlines pilot and a spokesman for the union representing pilots. “The flights are getting canceled left and right.”

The company’s leaders are scrambling to keep the airline afloat. The chief executive, Doug Parker, spent last week in Washington, working with other airline C.E.O.s to lobby the White House and Congress for a multibillion-dollar bailout, the details of which could be announced soon.

American Airlines said last week that it had secured $1 billion in financing and had a total of $8.4 billion in available liquidity. The company’s finance team is working with bankers to assess what other financing might be available.

“We need help,” said Erik Olund, who oversees many of the airline’s maintenance facilities.

Yet even with a bailout on the horizon, executives at American are deeply uncertain about the company’s future.

“There’s never been anything like this,” said Julie Rath, who oversees customer experience for the airline. “It’s not going to come back in the next couple months.”

The company is trying to save cash any way it can. It has shut off coffee and water service in its break rooms. It has offered voluntary leave programs to employees.

It has even changed the way it repairs planes: Instead of buying new parts when they are needed, it is cannibalizing them from some of its hundreds of planes that are parked.

And it is looking for new sources of revenue. Last week, American started running passenger-free flights loaded with cargo for the first time in 36 years. It is ferrying medical supplies, mail for active U.S. military troops, telecommunications equipment and electronics between Dallas and Frankfurt.

“The world is in such a state, we’re in such a state,” said Rick Elieson, the airline’s president overseeing cargo and vice president for international operations. “It’s worth trying and figuring out.”

At American’s Dallas headquarters and at offices around the country, the company has instituted temperature checkpoints for people coming into the office. Those running a fever are not permitted inside.

When customers make reservations, middle seats are being blocked to promote social distancing. Inside airports, kiosks and counters are disinfected regularly. Planes are being fogged with a special solution of chemicals meant to kill the coronavirus. Passengers can now scan their own boarding pass when getting on a plane, rather than handing it back and forth with a gate agent.

Many airport lounges, including those in New York, Chicago, Miami and Dallas, are closed, with more expected to be shuttered in the coming days. In those still open, buffets have been replaced by prepackaged snacks, and there is no more free alcohol.

In first class, there are no more hot towels or hot nuts. Glass Champagne flutes have been replaced with plastic cups. Flight attendants can wear masks and gloves as they walk the aisles. On shorter flights, there is no more beverage service or food for sale.

“Sixty-eight days ago it was about being present and visible in the aisle and having a high number of customer touch points,” said Brady Byrnes, managing director of flight service. “Now we’re faced with social distancing and limiting customer touch points.”

Executives at American had been monitoring the coronavirus since January, when it began to disrupt travel in China and then other parts of Asia. The company’s pilots were among the first to take the outbreak seriously, suing American on Jan. 30 in an effort to stop flights into mainland China and Hong Kong.

Even then, executives believed the outbreak would blow over. “Most of us thought that this would be isolated to China,” Mr. Olund said. “We thought this was just a blip.”

American had a pandemic plan and believed it was prepared to handle another health crisis, having dealt with Ebola, H1N1 and severe flu outbreaks in the past.

Then during a conference call on Feb. 25, Richard Muise, the airline’s head of European operations, delivered a dire warning: People were getting sick in Italy, and fast. The government was moving to quarantine parts of the region around Milan.

“That’s when the alarm bell rang,” said Mr. Freig, now the manager of the coronavirus response team.

Just over a week later, the World Health Organization’s recommendation of sweeping travel restrictions began to effectively shut down much of commercial air traffic across Europe.

“Before that, things were changing every few days,” Mr. Freig said. “After that, things were changing by the hour, if not by the minute.”

It soon became clear that the company’s pandemic plan was inadequate. “It was for everything that we had gone through, but nothing like this,” Mr. Freig said.

On March 11, President Trump said he was halting commercial air travel between the United States and continental Europe. The next day, American’s call centers, already overwhelmed, experienced their highest ever volume — some five times the normal rate.

To handle the influx of calls from customers seeking to change their reservations, American reassigned workers from its airport lounges and gates, who are already familiar with the rebooking process, to handle the requests.

In a matter of days, thousands of flights were canceled. Suddenly, American needed to park hundreds of planes simultaneously.

“Never have we had to ground the fleet at such a pace,” Mr. Olund said.

Around the country, American is parking its fleet as fast as it can — there will be 100 planes in Tulsa, Okla.; 100 planes in Roswell, N.M; 50 planes in Pittsburgh; more in Mobile, Ala., and Greensboro, N.C.

On Thursday, one plane after the next was landing at an American Airlines facility in Tulsa. When a captain walked off a Boeing 777 he had ferried from Miami, he paused on the tarmac and asked the ground crew to take his picture in front of it.

The crew initially resisted, telling him that there wasn’t time. More planes were landing. The captain insisted. “I’m a year away from retirement,” he said. “I think this is going to be my last flight.”

The parked planes need to be serviced daily by a team of 10 people. Every day, each plane needs to have its engine run, has to taxi far enough for the tires to rotate fully, and has to have its hydraulics, avionics and electronics checked.

Even then, there are new precautions. The crews who service those planes used to be briefed in groups of 100 at a time. Now, American has staggered the shifts and is conducting 10 briefings of 10 crew members at a time.

And with airlines expecting a slow recovery, many of the older planes American is parking right now, such as its fleet of Boeing 767s, will most likely never be used again.

So far, American has avoided layoffs or furloughs. It has offered employees voluntary leave packages that allow them to keep medical and dental benefits, and in some cases a percentage of their salary.

It has been only weeks, however, and the uncertainty is gnawing at the company’s 130,000 employees. The airline is hemorrhaging cash, and there is no recovery in sight.

“We’re seeing a lot of people nervous,” Mr. Olund said. “That they’re going to get fired, that they’re going to have a cut in pay, that they’re going to have a hard time taking care of their families.”

In an effort to stave off bankruptcy, Mr. Olund has tried to enlist his employees in the company’s lobbying effort.

“We’ve been telling them to get their congressmen on the phone,” he said. “Tell them this is the time for help.”
