The (International) Noise Conspiracy and The Hives at Knitting Factory

Full gallery available on my website here.

On Saturday, November 17, 2001, I photographed two bands from Sweden: The (International) Noise Conspiracy and The Hives in the main room of Knitting Factory. I believe this was The Hives’ first ever tour of the US and I would document two of their shows in New York City again 22 years later in support of their first new record in over a decade. T(I)NC performed at Bowery Ballroom with Rocket From the Crypt earlier in 2001 and a gallery from that show is available on my website here.

I previously discussed photographing The Hives with Jeanette D. Moses on DP Review and that interview is available on that website here.

Tungsten - The Grand Inferno

Die Symphonic Metaller Tungsten, das Quartett bestehend aus Ex-HammerFall-Schlagzeuger Anders Johannson, seinen Söhnen Karl (Bass, Keyboards) und Niklas (Gitarren) sowie Sänger Mike Andersson, sorgten mit ihrer aktuellen Single „Walborg“ für Aufsehen: Unzählige Streams, aber auch mehr als eine halbe Million YouTube-Views für das dazugehörige Musikvideo zementieren die Erhabenheit des Stücks. Da die Fans immer neugieriger wurden, was die Band sonst noch in der Mache hat, freuen sich Wolfram, etwas mehr Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen: die besagte Single war der allererste Appetizer ihres kommenden Studioalbums „The Grand Inferno“, das am 18.

What Is The World’s Loveliest Language? Johnson, The Economist Language Columnist, Reviews The Attractiveness of Speech

— January 11th 2024 | Graphic Detail | Pleasantness Scores

Linguists tend to say that all languages are valuable, expressive and complex. They usually attribute negative attitudes to prejudice and politics. That is probably why no one has carefully studied the touchy question of which ones are seen as beautiful or ugly.

That is until three scholars—Andrey Anikin, Nikolay Aseyev and Niklas Erben Johansson—published their study of 228 languages last year*. They hit upon the idea of using an online film about the life of Jesus, which its promoters have recorded in hundreds of languages. Crucially, most recordings had at least five different speakers, as the film has both exposition and dialogue. The team recruited 820 people from three different language groups—Chinese, English and Semitic (Arabic, Hebrew and Maltese speakers)—to listen to clips and rate the languages’ attractiveness.

What they found was that nearly all the 228 languages were rated strikingly similarly—when certain factors were controlled for (of which more below). On a scale of 1 to 100, all fell between 37 and 43, and most in a bulge between 39 and 42 (see chart 1). The highest-rated? Despite the supposed allure (at least among Anglophones) of French and Italian, it was Tok Pisin, an English creole spoken in Papua New Guinea. The lowest? Chechen. The three language groups broadly coincided in their preferences. But the differences between the best and worst-rated languages were so slight—and the variation among individual raters so great—that no one should be tempted to crown Tok Pisin the world’s prettiest language with any authority.

A few factors did make the raters say they quite liked the languages they heard. But those seem unrelated to intrinsic qualities. First, being familiar with a language—or even thinking they were familiar with it—made raters give a language a 12% prettiness boost on average. And there seemed to be some regional prejudices. If a rater said that a language was familiar, he or she was asked to say what region it came from. Chinese raters, for example, clearly preferred languages they thought to be from the Americas or Europe, and rated those they thought from sub-Saharan Africa lower. (When raters said they were unfamiliar with the languages, such preferences disappeared.)

The other extrinsic factors that influenced ratings were a strong preference for female voices and a weaker preference for deeper and breathier ones (see chart 2). But try as they might, the investigators could not find an inherent phonetic feature—such as the presence of nasal vowels (as in French bon vin blanc) or fricative consonants (like the sh and zh sounds common in Polish)—that was consistently rated as beautiful. Only a slight dislike for tonal languages was statistically significant. Tonal languages are those that use pitch to distinguish otherwise homophonous words. Even Chinese subjects slightly disliked such languages, though Chinese itself is tonal.

Dr Johansson highlights some unanswered questions. His team had no information about which sounds tend to appear together (English strings along consonants—as in “strings”—in a way that many other languages do not.) Such a feature was beyond their ability to measure. So was prosody—roughly, the rhythm of a language. And with just five speakers per language, the presence of a couple of attractive or unattractive individual speakers could easily move a language’s rating this way or that.

Finally, the audio materials were scripted. This was a good thing in one way, because the raters heard the same part of the film (with the same meanings) in each language. But spontaneous, natural speech could make quite a different impression. Perhaps people like and dislike not the sound inventory of a language, but the way its speakers tend to speak it. If that is so, the attractiveness of a language might be better attributed to its speakers’ culture—not to the language itself.

Negative results in experiments usually do not make waves, but this one is both interesting—since it goes so strongly against people’s instincts—and cheering. The world is divided enough. As the researchers conclude, “We have emphasised the fundamental phonetic and aesthetic unity of world languages.”■

Sabato 21 ottobre 2023 uscirà su YouTube la docuserie Northwards (Verso Nord), dedicata al tema del cambiamento climatico, alle sue evidenze nell’Artico, ed alla ricerca scientifica portata avanti da INTERACT, progetto di ricerca e cooperazione internazionale creato nel 2011 dal Premio Nobel Prof. Terry Callaghan e finanziato dalla Comunità Europea. La serie, in sette brevi episodi, è dedicata agli scienziati che lavorano in circa ottanta stazioni di ricerca (sparse in tutto l’Artico e Sub-Artico) e al supporto fondamentale che ad essi fornisce il progetto. Sono previste due premières cinematografiche (ad ingresso libero) di Northwards: venerdì 13 ottobre alle ore 20.00 al Cinema Troisi di Roma (via Girolamo Induno, 1), nella versione originale (sottotitolata in italiano) sabato 14 alle ore 16.00 al Palazzo Coelli di Orvieto (TR) - piazza Febei, 3 -, nella versione doppiata in italiano. A Orvieto seguirà un dibattito, moderato dalla giornalista Roberta Ammendola, ed in cui interverranno Terry Callaghan, Margareta Johansson, Giorgio Lupano, Luisella Bianco e Fabio Catena. Northwards è una docuserie avvincente - che vede come protagonista Giorgio Lupano - per la cui realizzazione sono occorsi due anni. Ha l’obiettivo di raccontare l’attività di INTERACT, il più grande network di stazioni di ricerca terrestri nell’Artico, che coinvolge università e istituti di ricerca e sedici Stati europei e rende possibile il lavoro di migliaia di ricercatori nei luoghi più sperduti dell’emisfero boreale. L’attività divulgativa viene fatta con un approccio “popular” ed un volto conosciuto del mondo dello spettacolo come quello di Giorgio Lupano. Lupano si presenta sul campo di lavoro degli scienziati per parlare con loro come farebbe l’uomo comune, estraneo all’ambiente artico ed alla ricerca; pone loro le domande, anche le più banali, che una persona digiuna di ricerca scientifica farebbe; tocca con mano cosa significhi vivere e lavorare nel freddo territorio del circolo polare artico. Il tutto mediato dalla necessaria ironia che occorre per coinvolgere una platea di “non addetti ai lavori” - ai quali la docuserie è rivolta - su argomenti molto importanti per il futuro del Pianeta. Il viaggio “verso Nord” parte da Stoccolma, dove Giorgio Lupano incontra il Premio Nobel Prof. Terry Callaghan alla Swedish Royal Academy of Science (dove vengono assegnati i premi Nobel per le materie scientifiche) e da qui prosegue verso la stazione di ricerca di Abisko, nel nord della Svezia, dove incontra la coordinatrice del progetto INTERACT, la Dott.ssa Margareta Johansson, la quale lo introduce agli studi sul permafrost. La docuserie propone poi immagini suggestive girate nella tundra svedese, in Lapponia, dove G. Lupano incontra il Sami Niklas Labba che, insieme alla Dott.ssa Kirsi Latola, parla del delicato rapporto fra la comunità scientifica e le popolazioni indigene dell’Artico. Nelle successive puntate, Lupano visita alcune remote stazioni di ricerca di INTERACT: in Finlandia, a Kilpisjarvi, per incontrare esperti di nuove tecnologie; in Groenlandia (non raggiungerà mai l’Artic Station, sperimentando in prima persona le difficoltà della vita in un ambiente così estremo) per farsi spiegare da Morten Rasch ed Elmer Topp-Jørgensen il complicato lavoro di uno Station Manager; e poi ancora in Islanda ed alle isole Faroe per incontrare Hannele Savela e parlare del programma di Transnational Access, che permette a migliaia di scienziati provenienti da tutte le regioni del mondo di accedere alle stazioni di ricerca per condurre i propri studi sul cambiamento climatico. Il viaggio si conclude in Gran Bretagna, a Glossop (vicino a Manchester), a casa del Prof. Terry Callaghan, per un riassunto sulle esperienze vissute e sulle cose apprese e per gettare uno sguardo sulle sfide che ci aspettano per salvaguardare il futuro del pianeta. La serie sarà trasmessa anche sui canali web (www.eu-interact.org) e social di INTERACT. Trailer https://youtu.

Dream Evil kündigen für Juli das neue Album an

Die schwedische Heavy Metal-Band Dream Evil ist endlich zurück! Sieben Jahre nach ihrem letzten Album „SIX“ haben die Göteborger Autoren von „The Book of Heavy Metal“ ihr neuestes, siebtes Studioalbum mit dem programmatischen Titel „Metal Gods“ angekündigt, das am 26. Juli 2024 über ihr langjähriges Label Century Media Records weltweit veröffentlicht werden soll. Dream Evil haben sich mit dem folgenden Kommentar zu ihrem neuen Studioalbum „Metal Gods“ gemeldet: „Dream Evil sind endlich zurück! Es ist sieben Jahre her, dass wir unser letztes Album 'SIX' veröffentlicht haben, also sind wir begeistert, jetzt mit aller Macht zurückzukehren! Das Warten sollte für niemanden umsonst gewesen sein, denn wir sind mit dem Ergebnis aller Tracks auf 'Metal Gods' äußerst zufrieden. Es ist ein lautes und klares Statement für Dream Evil und eine respektvolle Verbeugung vor unseren Einflüssen sowie vor der traditionellen melodischen Heavy Metal-Bewegung im Allgemeinen. Wir hoffen, dass ihr es genauso genießen werdet wie wir!?“ Und dann fügten Dream Evil das Folgende über den „Metal Gods“-Titeltrack und sein Video hinzu: „Es geht um unsere Heavy Metal-Helden in der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, ein Tribut an die Metal Gods, die das Genre Heavy Metal geschaffen und perfektioniert haben. Es ist immer wieder ein Vergnügen, mit Patric Ullaeus zu arbeiten und die Magie zu beobachten, die er erschafft... Play LOUD and enjoy“! Wieder einmal wurde „Metal Gods“ von Dream Evil-Gitarrist Fredrik Nordström in seinem legendären Studio Fredman (In Flames, At The Gates, HammerFall, Arch Enemy, Bring Me The Horizon, etc.) aufgenommen und abgemischt. Das Cover-Artwork stammt von Seth Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Exodus, Rotting Christ, etc. ) und enthält 10 neue Songs aus purem Stahl, die mit Schlagzeuger Sören Fardvik das neueste Line-Up vorstellen und Gastauftritte von Jonathan Thorpenberg (The Unguided), Tommy Johansson (ex Sabaton) und Chris Amott (ex Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity) an der Leadgitarre beinhalten.
