April 5, 2018.

A venture into New York City is always a good thing. Give me any reason - a doctor’s appointment, family, or a show in Greenpoint - and I’m there. This time it was a check-up on the pricier Lower East Side. I asked the team to give me an early time because I knew something else was going on behind the clinic. I know because my old man drove me home all the time and took a specific rote to do so.

The chilly 35* temperatures bit like any early April would. The sharp white sun constantly cut across the passing white clouds drifting through the dry blue sky. I stand at the Deer Park platform for a few minutes and anticipate its’ arrival. The iPod Classic (160GB) is still holding up. It’s been my only companion that comes with me for Christ knows how long, ever since it’s not-as-capable brother (30GB) took it’s first ride with me supplying Whitehouse’s Racket, Vincent Gallo’s When, and various Boards Of Canada and Roy Ayers cuts. That was another springtime trip where Cath- and I joined forces at Penn Station to go to the Brooklyn Museum and back home on the Ronkonkoma line for what was one of the most significant days ever lived. I loaded up the 400 or so finds to it of songs I never heard of before, songs then in the auditioning phase for Omega WUSB’s airplay. Train rides on the Deer Park line are usually prime-time to cycle through it all with no distractors around. My other companions? A Sony kit and a tripod.

I board and sit on the outer left aisle facing forward. No window seat this time. Public Image Ltd.’s “Poptones” couldn’t have come at a better time as the Deer Park line slowly rolled down through Farmingdale. None more fitting when those loopy dangling notes of Keith Levene’s Veleno moved perfectly with the slow floating crawl of the car. I’m not even paying attention to the motion blur of the graffiti or the industrial buildings usually experienced when looking out of the window. Another song plays, it’s The Plugz’ “Satisifed And Die”. It was a gift from Holly, a Brooklyn goth girl who followed me here. She’s made me roused and stimulated like no other. We been trading recommendations for a couple months based on our equivalencies of industrial, noise, punk, and other artists. I never heard of Plugz until she told me that “Hammy” from The Pee-Wee Herman Show was in the band.

The music still spun in my ears. Each song that played was saved to the day’s on-the-go playlist. No skips or fast-forwards. Eventually there’ll be seven or ten songs out of thirty that will follow me around forever out from the 400 chosen for April 5th. They kept going, and so was I on the way to Penn Station. Final track to end the ride? “Hold On To Your Genre” from Les Savy Fav, a band I’ve heard about over the years, and maybe a mention from former selector Xtina who used to run The All Ages Show before I took over her timeslot. Holly’s hits kept on parading through.

Penn Station here. I save my energy taking the A/C/E connecting me to the N/Q/R/W line to Lexington Av. and walk up 3rd St. to the clinic. Here I am! I’m directed to go upstairs and angle myself for some x-rays before heading downstairs to see the silver surgeon who saved my life eighteen months ago.

“Wow! What’s that?” excitingly ask Renee, the surgeon’s assistant. She saw my kit and tripod and told her I was going to shoot after our appointment. She was happy to see me. They’ve seen them all come and go during all their years in practice. It was a treat for them to see me have this new energy from when I was either blacked out on the hospital bed or frustrated and itching ready to go. But here I was. That’s the most important thing for all of us, right? Silver took his hand and pressed his tips on my shoulder to feel any changes. Looked over the film and saw no changes. Asked me how I was doing with this British / Irish roll and was pleased to hear that I was doing great. An hour later, I was good to go. Show’s over for now. See you in six months.

I haul my inventory out of the clinic and head towards where my old man would start our path home. It’s the Grand Army Plaza at the southeastern corner of Central Park. Look up and you’ll see the golden monument of William Tecumseh Sherman riding high on a stone pedestal with Victory guiding the way. I take several photos of all their heroic glory. A few horse-and-carriage jockeys were all around me with their furnishings dressed in white, red, and purple with gold trim. I see many overseas families make the best of their time taking photos for mementos forever to be remembered by, not knowing if and when they’ll have another opportunity to return again. But I don’t stop there.

Forward I go into Central Park, because I had all the time in the world to tread into uncharted territory. I walk past the disused zoo and end up at the Balto statue. How cute. I stop and snap away for more test shots before some former aspiring Aron Kay wanna-be rode his bike past me and said something about Balto being a liberal conspiracy, and self-declared it a debacle that was worse that seeing Oprah’s goatse. I walk away from his trailed stench of shit and dried blood and now here I am walking right down the middle of The Mall and Literary Walk. It literally welcomes you in with its pathway, where its generousity is measured by its wideness.

It was at that exact point where I started feeling euphoric again. I’ve beaten cancer to see my final benefits loaded into savings. Three paychecks in March, the tax refund hit, and our company gave us full-timers a surprise $1,000 bonus. Minimal and synthwave finds connected me with some of my best followers here, good times with me and twenty of my other co-workers at my neighborhood arcade, and the record-store victory tour just started. All of my on-going projects at Ω+, VMFX, and WUSB kept me going and proud. My nerves straightened themselves out and for once in my life I was on top of everything. There were no worries, no stress, no pressure. There was only hope. I hit the sweet spot that I been trying to acquire for so long and this was it. I felt like I was the person I always wanted to be. Keep going.

To my right is the Naumburg Bandshell where I did my best to preserve whatever dynamics it presented me with a press of a button. Further I go and I encounter the Besthesda Terrace, a dazzling array that’s been around for almost 175 years. Greeting me is its accompanying fountain where The Angel Of The Waters looks over all of us. A Danish family of four wanted their picture taken together so they asked me kindly to snap them with their camera, which I happily obliged.

It’s 5PM. Joggers and bikers are imminent. Young couples are sitting on the hills admiring the skyscrapers to the south and west side. I let myself get lost as I head north. I reach the Bow Bridge to see a young Filipine couple in their wedding threads have their photos taken. I continue to wander through all the winding pathways and steep hills to find myself at Belvedere Castle which was gated off and closed indefinitely. A few thousand feet later, I stop short at the 86th Street Transverse to catch my breath and pause to experience the current moment of clarity. Robert Viger’s “Limpidite” started to play. The sun’s about to set and it’s getting dimmer. Now was the time to head back.

I didn’t remember the path I took to get here, so what fun I had when I got lost and realized I had to walk the equivalent of thirty city blocks to even reach East 59th Street again which I returned to. I was exhausted and was tempted to take the N/Q/R/W line back to Penn Station, but no. It’s rare for me to be in the city, so why not make the best of it and walk it all back to Grand Central? My time was limitless because I didn’t have to be at work until 1PM the next day. Let’s reverse the process.

I take part in the crowded hustle and bustle of Manhattan. I walk 30 blocks south back to Penn Station for the ride home eastward, still bathing in the new euphoria and pending Spring renewal I just felt. I arrive five minutes to my train, but no big deal. I’m more than happy to re-hydrate with a $2.50 bottle of water and wait around until the Ronkonkoma line arrives. I have another relaxing 65-minute train ride back to Deer Park to cycle through more auditions and selections for the day’s forever soundtrack before it’s gone forever. I arrive on the Deer Park platform and step off the train. I step off the platform and walk through the aluminum overpass and steps onto the parking lot. I get in my car and drive away to sweep up the rest of the way home through the Brentwood streets. 10:30PM and I’m home for the night.

**********

There’s a message waiting for me after I walked in. It’s Holly. She asked how my day was and what I was up to. It was real nice for one of my all-time favorite followers to even ask. I had to reply to her before heading to bed. I also sent her the day’s photos and then asked to see if we could finally meet up. The momentum was stronger and now more essential than ever. I’m thriving for more.

4 TIPOLOGIE DI COPPIA: SIMBIOTICI, COMPLEMENTARI, COMBATTENTI, SIMMETRICA

Amore e tipologie di coppia

L’amore e la coppia:  argomenti caldi, studiati da sempre dagli psicologi e non solo. Ma cosa si intende con il termine coppia❓

Fino a poco tempo fa, il termine “coppia” era sinonimo di unione con lo scopo di creare una famiglia: la coppia esisteva in funzione della famiglia che si sarebbe potuta formare, con dei figli.

Di solito, alla base dell’essere coppia non può che esserci l’amore: oggi ci si sceglie per questo e non perché qualcuno ce lo impone, come succedeva tanti e tanti anni fa o come succede ancora oggi, in alcune parti del mondo.

Ma tralasciando questi aspetti culturali, cosa possiamo dire sull’amore, da un punto di vista psicologico❓

Non possiamo non citare Robert Sternberg, psicologo statunitense, che ha elaborato proprio una teoria sull’amore e su come questo sentimento si sviluppi: secondo tale teoria, l’amore altro non è che il frutto di alcuni elementi:

intimità (la capacità di due individui di essere in sintonia emotiva, di affidarsi l’uno all’altro);

passione (attrazione fisica e sessuale);

decisione-impegno (la capacità di fare dei progetti e impegnarsi insieme per raggiungere degli obiettivi).

Detto così sembrerebbe tutto semplice e lineare, eppure non dobbiamo dimenticare che ogni coppia è formata da due individui diversi, aventi caratteristiche proprie. Ed è proprio per questo che esistono diverse tipologie di coppia.

La coppia simmetrica e la coppia complementare

In una coppia simmetrica, i partner sono allo stesso livello, poiché come tali si comportano: ovvero come individui alla pari; questa è una relazione stabile e sana, poiché sembra vigere il principio dell’uguaglianza, dove, mentre uno dei soggetti definisce la natura della relazione, l’altro risponde, o confermandola o rifiutandola.

Cosa possiamo invece dire sulla coppia complementare❓

Beh, una coppia complementare si comporta in modo totalmente opposto a come fa la precedente: uno dei 2 partner tende ad  assumere una posizione diversa, opposta, complementare all’altro; abbiamo un partner che sta “al di sopra”, poiché è quello che in un certo senso dirige e un altro che sta “al di sotto”, poiché ubbidisce la definizione della relazione che l’altro ha scelto. Per tutti e due. E se questo non succede❓Beh, in questo caso lo scontro è inevitabile.

Se chi sta sopra tende a irrigidirsi, fino a sopraffare l’altro, siamo in presenza di una relazione complementare patologica.

La coppia simbiotica

Vi sarà sicuramente capitato di vedere coppie che sembrano essere le più felici o le più belle del mondo: coppie che si scambiano costantemente effusioni e che fanno tutto insieme: una coppia di simbiotici, insomma.

La caratteristica principale è la reciproca dipendenza tra i partner e il fatto che, più che di due individui, sembra di essere in presenza di un’unica mente e di un unico corpo; in queste coppie manca il litigio e manca la diversità di opinioni: è come se a prendere decisioni fosse una persona solamente, e non due persone: per questo manca il vero dialogo: quello sano.

Qui i due partner sembrano essere due bambini che si rassicurano a vicenda: per questo uno è la forza dell’altro. Ma la mancanza di dialogo, come possiamo immaginare, non può che portare ad un  appiattimento emotivo, oltre che sessuale: i due partner non sanno stare l’uno senza l’altro, ma non sanno stare nemmeno troppo vicini. Questo tipo di coppie non ama le sorprese o i viaggi e spesso ha rapporti conflittuali con le proprie famiglie.

La coppia combattente

In questo tipo di coppia ritroviamo, come caratteristica principale, la competizione poiché più che la voglia di uno scambio comunicativo, prevale la voglia di mettere in risalto gli sbagli ed i limiti dell’altro, per poi svalutare i suoi bisogni.

Non c’è accordo, non c’è comprensione, ma solo voglia di conflitto: paradossalmente è proprio tramite il conflitto, che i partner non possono fare a meno l’uno dell’altro. Questa modalità relazionale competitiva è appresa all’interno del proprio setting familiare, dove vige competizione e tanta aggressività.

Mara Selvini Palazzoli, a tal proposito afferma, come questo rapporto sia come una guerra, nella quale ognuno dei due partner vuole imporsi sull’altro.

Come abbiamo potuto vedere, esistono diverse tipologie di coppie e spesso, alla base, vi sono le proprie relazioni intrafamiliari e le proprie insicurezze: per questo, una coppia non è uguale all’altra, ogni individuo ha la propria storia.

POST-SCRIPTUM 845

AGITATION FRITE, le volume 3, sous-titré “chroniques de l’underground français” est en cours de rédaction. Il contiendra entre autres un TOP 320 commenté des albums les plus singuliers en la matière. Merzbo-Derek en diffusera quelques extraits avant parution en 2018 chez Lenka lente… À signaler, bien qu’annoncé partout “out of stock”, il reste encore quelques exemplaires du premier volume chez Metamkine : qu’on se le dise !

EXTRAIT…

VINCENT GÉMIGNANI, Modern Pop Percussion (1970)

JEAN-CLAUDE VANNIER, L’Enfant assassin des mouches (1972)

Quand Modern Pop Percussion, originellement sorti sur Concert Hall, a été réédité à juste titre par Musique pour l’image, référence 35 avec titre (Musique pour un voyage extraordinaire) et tracklisting différents, il a été présenté par Robert Viger comme une suite de matériaux sonores d’une grande richesse pour l’illustration musicale. Vrai ! À son écoute, le temps du splendide « Ophis le serpentaire » par exemple, on peut évoquer Airto Moreira, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, voire Miles Davis rencontrant Jean-Claude Vannier (période L’Enfant assassin des mouches, voir chronique plus loin).

PATRICE SCIORTINO, Chronoradial (1970)

BERNARD PARMEGIANI, Chants magnétiques (1974)

CHARLES BELLONZI & ROBERT VIGER, Structures percussions (1972)

MARTIAL SOLAL, Locomotion (1974)

Patrice Sciortino est un compositeur contemporain passé par le Groupe de Recherches Musicales parisien. Comme pour certains de ses confrères, l’un de ses meilleurs disques a été édité par un label consacré à la library music : l’excellent PSI, sous-label de Musique pour l’image, dirigé par le pianiste Robert Viger, spécialiste du genre. À son catalogue, à côté de jazzmen français réputés, tels les pianistes Henri Renaud et Georges Arvanitas, figure l’électroacousticien Bernard Parmegiani avec l’édition originale des Chants magnétiques – une pièce majeure !

En duo avec le batteur de jazz Charles « Lolo » Bellonzi (connu pour avoir fait partie d’un trio de Martial Solal et accompagné Maurice Vander, René Thomas, Ivan Jullien ou Claude Nougaro), Robert Viger a réalisé un disque, certes pas foudroyant comme un Cecil Taylor / Tony Oxley, mais étonnant à bien des égards, où voisinent compostions d’ambiances et improvisations bruitistes.

Sur le même label, Martial Solal délivre en Locomotion le disque de jazz funky ultime en trio piano électrique / acoustique, accompagné par Henri Texier (basse) et Bernard Lubat (batterie). Son auteur l’avait quasiment oublié, car à l’époque on prenait ce genre de disque, depuis largement réhabilité par les DJ curieux, pour de la musique au kilomètre. Les accords répétitifs d’« Un Drôle d’escalier roulant », par exemple, possèdent quelque chose de bêtement fascinant ! Certes, on est loin de la palette harmonique et des digressions virtuoses de ses solos tel Nothing But Piano.

( Bernard Lubat, par là )

Defenders of Chinatown are sounding the alarm after much of the neighbourhood’s most historic block was sold to a developer with a reputation for renovictions.

Brandon Shiller and Jeremy Kornbluth recently acquired several properties on the northern part of the block bounded by de la Gauchetière, St-Urbain, Côté and Viger Sts.

If the block’s heritage buildings, which include the 1826 British and Canadian School at 1009 Côté St., were to be destroyed to make way for a massive real-estate development, “then it’s the end” for Chinatown, warned Jonathan Cha, a member of the Chinatown Working Group, whose volunteers have been meeting for about two years to chart a future for the district.

The group is calling for the area — the oldest urban neighbourhood outside Old Montreal — to be designated as a protected heritage district, like the old quarter.

“There’s an emergency right now and we need to use all the tools that we have to defend Chinatown,” warned Cha, a landscape architect, urbanologist and authority on Chinatown’s past.

“This is the moment and it might already be too late,” he added.

Designed by James O’Donnell, best remembered as the architect of Notre-Dame Basilica, the four-storey stone building on the corner of Côté and de la Gauchetière Sts. is Montreal’s oldest purpose-built school. It now serves as Wing’s noodle factory.

The developers also acquired an 1884 factory at 987-991 Côté St. that incorporates part of the former Free Presbyterian Church, built in 1848, as well as other buildings on the south side of de la Gauchetière, including an imposing stone house at No. 106 where the now-closed Orange Rouge restaurant was located.

Shiller and Kornbluth have been in the news over allegations of evictions and harassment of tenants. On Friday, about 100 demonstrators protested against evictions at the 90-unit Manoir Lafontaine apartment building at 3485 Papineau Ave. Residents of 3655 Ridgewood Ave. have also complained of being subjected to pressure to leave and deteriorating living conditions. The pair have been blamed for gentrification in Mile End, where a steep rent hike forced out the popular Le Cagibi café-restaurant in 2018.

Shiller did not return a call from the Montreal Gazette and Kornbluth’s answering machine did not accept messages.

Jean-Philippe Riopel, a tour guide who has lived in Chinatown for 11 years, learned that Shiller and Kornbluth had bought his building on Jan. 8.

“It really worried me,” said Riopel, 37, who has been deeply attached to the district since childhood when his father, a police officer who walked the beat in Chinatown, used to bring him along on trips to the neighbourhood. He has extensively researched the area’s history and has given tours there.

“Who would spend $20 million on buildings with three or four storeys?” asked Riopel, who fears the new owners may be planning a highrise project like the ones hemming in the southern gates to Chinatown on St-Laurent Blvd.

Documents show the developers bought four other properties on March 22, including the former school, which sold for $9.2 million. They contracted a $15-million mortgage on March 10.

The fact that the owners of the property use the business name 1000 St-Urbain Ltd, which is the address of a vacant lot, is ominous, Riopel said.

Last summer, while helping his neighbour plant a garden in the backyard, he unearthed several artifacts including glass bottles, an antique gun and stone foundations.

After Riopel and a friend, Élyse Lévesque, revealed the change of ownership on Facebook two weeks ago, city councillors Cathy Wong and Robert Beaudry, who sit on Montreal’s executive committee, sent an inspector to warn the owner not to undertake any major changes.

“We are worried,” Beaudry, the executive committee member responsible for housing and real estate, said in an interview.

“We are somewhat familiar with the practices of this developer,” he said. “No permit has been requested, but from all appearances it’s a strategy of buying up the whole site, which leads us to fear the worst.”

The controversy arises as other historic downtown buildings fall victim to highrise projects that preserve only facades or fragments of the previous structure. On Thursday, developer Brivia announced a 19-storey condo tower on the site of the 104-year-old Lowes Theatre that will eradicate the iconic venue but include “architectural reminders” in its design.

Former mayor Denis Coderre, who has announced another run for the mayoralty, has said he would sweep aside zoning regulations limiting the height of skyscrapers to the top of the cross on Mount Royal.

Dinu Bumbaru, policy director of Heritage Montreal, said the revelation of the land sale has been “an electroshock” on the need to protect the historic district.

“That it could be sterilized by being turned into a block of condos would be tragic,” he said.

Karen Cho, a documentary filmmaker with four generations of family ties to Chinatown, warned that highrise development would destroy its soul.

“If we save a facade and all the culture and people that live within that building get erased, what are we saving?” asked Cho, who is working on a documentary about the challenges facing Chinatowns across North America.

“A lot of Chinatowns look like that. They look like these Potemkin villages or ethnic Disneylands where it’s pagodas everywhere and these fancy Chinatown gates, but the entire culture and community of the place have been emptied out.”

Montreal’s Chinatown lost half of its territory to expropriation in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s and is down-at-the-heels after years of neglect, Cho noted.

“You put the pandemic on top of it, the restaurant closures and the stigmatization, and you really get this perfect storm for developers to come down and scoop up property,” she said.

Cha warned that destroying the historic neighbourhood would be a profound loss for all Montrealers, not just the Chinese community. Known as Près-de-ville in the 18th century, when it lay just outside the gates of the walled city, it became home to successive waves of immigrants.

“This is one of the oldest districts in Montreal, where the Irish, the Scottish, the French, the Jewish community, everyone was there,” he said.

“It’s not just old buildings that we want to preserve. We also want to preserve the cultural presence that we still have,” he added.

“You put up a condo tower, and then you bring in a McDonald’s and a Starbucks, and it becomes a place with no identity.”

Welcome everyone to Year Eight of Omega WUSB. To start off, we’re filling on for Purple Starlight and reverting back to our regular bonus broadcasts with three hours of jazz, fusion, soul, funk, vocal, private presses, library music, and other obscure finds. It’s one for all the crate-diggers, samplists, and producers as we tip our hats to hip-hop, rap, and vinyl culture. We plan on having at least one of these vinyl-culture shows per broadcast season this year so there’s definitely more to come.

Next Omega airs December 14, 2019 (10 PM New York City) for the first of two Best Of 2019 deluxe broadcasts as we showcase the best, most talked-about, and noticeable music released this year. Our final broadcast of the decade airs December 28, 2019 (10 PM New York City).

See you soon, and thanks for tuning in.

Assignment 4 - Architecture / time of day.

Photo 1 - MONTREAL, QUEBEC – NOVEMBER 04 2018: The Aldred Building at sunset on November 1, 2018 in the Old Port of Montreal, Quebec. The building is located on Place d’Armes square and is the first skyscraper of Montreal. Completed in 1931, the building was designed by Ernest Isbell Barott as an Art deco icon. The Aldred Building is a miniature of the Empire State Building in New York City completed the same year. (Photo by Jonathan Bertucchi / Elements of lighting for VJ Class)

Photo 2 - MONTREAL, QUEBEC – NOVEMBER 04 2018: The Avenue Building at sunset on November 2, 2018 in Downtown Montreal, Quebec. The building is the last skyscraper to have been completed in the city. Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects designed it to be the tallest residential tower in Canada east of Toronto. Completed in 2017, the Avenue Building is a striking example of deconstructivist architecture, movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s and is widespread in skyscrapers architecture nowadays. (Photo by Jonathan Bertucchi / Elements of lighting for VJ Class)

Photo 3 - MONTREAL, QUEBEC – NOVEMBER 04 2018: The Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on November 2, 2018 in Downtown Montreal, Quebec. The building, located on Sherbrooke, was designed by architect  Moshe Safdie and completed in 1991. Very controversial at the time with its modern architecture, it quickly contributed to the expansion and popularity of the museum, as well as its international stature.

Photo 4 - MONTREAL, QUEBEC – NOVEMBER 04 2018: The Parc station on a rainy afternoon on November 3, 2018 in Montreal, Quebec. The Art deco train station, on the corner of Parc and Jean-Talon, designed by architect Colin Drewitt and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway opened in 1931. The station was a main stop for railway passengers in Montreal until the early 1950s. It closed in 1984 when operations were transferred to the Montreal Central Station. The building hosts the blue line’s Parc station of the metro since 1987. (Photo by Jonathan Bertucchi / Elements of lighting for VJ Class)
