trying to learn to say ah to things. trying to learn how to spell my name. For now, I'm just another wordsmith.
None of these images are my own.

Ask and you shall receive
Submit and surrender!

every tremor sent my bones rattling and cracking

like the sounds of a first time drum player

but I liked to take my sweet oh sweet time

I can’t begin to describe to you how it feels as if

the whole wide world was waiting on you

just to see, hear, feel you do you

one more time

The emptiness in their eyes seeking the light within you

even though you are just another portal

placed and timed for a purpose

of which you will be the last to know

but since you know the song

it’s a delight to see you dance and step

as if the world was your stage

and sweet oh sweet music loved no one else but you

so go on with your bad self

and drum this world to your beat

Os Kuduristas

KUDURO. Born of Angolan renaissance in the Information Age, Kuduro, which means ‘Hard Ass,’ is the cultural expression of a new international and post-war generation. Os Kuduristas, a global initiative designed to introduce Kuduro internationally, is bringing Kuduro’s powerful form of expression to Paris, Amsterdam and New York through interactive events and programs in September and October, 2012.

“We were born in the provinces affected by the war.Our mothers were fleeing with us on their backs…and then at the age of 4 or 5 we would hear gunshots and such things.So this made us also turn to a more aggressive style. We smash!” - Presidente Gasolina

one positive out of so many negatives…

Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu. The Singing Ringing Tree.

A 3-meter-tall, wind-powered musical sculpture made of galvanized steel pipes, it stands high above the English town of Burnley. The pipes swirl to form the shape of a tree bent and blown by the wind, and produce an eerie, melodious hum as the constant wind on Crown Point drifts through them. The Singing Ringing Tree’s pipes are used for both aesthetic qualities as well as for tuning, with their sound varied according to length and added narrow slits on the underside of specific pipes. The sound produced by these twisted metal trees covers several octaves and is said to be simultaneously discordant and melancholy, and intensely beautiful. Designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu. (via Interactive Architecture)

so Nature meets Music meets Sculpture. What an idea! Nature playing an instrument!

Vive Patrice Lumumba (Vicky Longomba) - African Jazz 1960

Vicky Longomba (who would also sing Lumumba, Héros National with O.K. Jazz 7 years later) sang here with Joseph Kabasselé, aka Le Grand Kalé. With Armando Brazzos (who had mostly played rhythm guitar with O.K. Jazz during the previous years) on bass, Dr. Nico on guitar, his older brother Déchaud on rhythm guitar, I suppose Roger Izeidi on maracas and Pierrot on percussion.
