Russian Avant Garde Art - Valera Martynchik
Russian Avant Garde Art - Valera Martynchik
Russian Avant Garde Art - Valera Martynchik
Valera Martynchik Art is a direct continuation of the Russian Avant Garde art tradition.
Originally from Belarus, Martynchik settled in London, after spending some time in Poland.
His first exhibition in Paris is a revelation, as he has already found, at the same time his maturity (the height of his powers), his savoir-faire (know-how) and his own domain (Field, Province) which resembles no other.
He paints endless canvases, whose every recess is covered with multiple colours, layered geometric shapes ,with half -- objects and small figures. The whole forms an inextricable tangle, as if our world were irremediably (incurably) destined for the dustbin or for a (traffic) jam from which it was no longer able to extricate (free) itself.
The paintings can be viewed from all directions ,as there is no longer high or low, north or south, nor beginning, nor boundary. Within this heap, if one looks closely, one can discover geometric elements, boxes, tiny armed warriors, a pitiful Icarus, squares, tubes, taps, an unfinished stucco Madonna, masks, pyramids, rockets, architect's models, scaffolding: all the means necessary to furnish a carpenter's workshop. But there are also lizards piping, clock mechanisms.
Generally, when brick -- a --brack (odds end ends) is (are) piled up like this, in the work of gesture painters, one has impression of a gigantic disorder, of suffering on a grand scale. This is not at all the case with Martynchik, who remains master of his overabundance and who paints each detail with absolute precision.
Although the anthropomorphic part of his art is minimal -- are we not details of a universe which structures itself without us? -- one infers from this that man is only one ant in an enormous flood. This realisation brings no fear; there is joy and rhythm in the quivering of this painter, who knows -- and is this not rare these days? -- the meaning of work, and the requirements of a true oeuvre (opus, work), worthy of the name.

Esquire Got it Wrong
Esquire Got it Wrong
Esquire's article touting Minority Report as being "the movie that accurately predicted the future", of course, "got it wrong". As with most Spielberg movies, it "could" be classified as a science fiction movie to incorporate the most gimmicks from other films into one production...
... perhaps...
As great a movie as it was, everything in the film had been seen in movies since the original James Bond movies, as well as more recent films such as Blade Runner, Demolition Man, The Fifth Element, Total Recall, and even as far back as Metropolis in the 1920's, and Things to Come. With the exception of the "billiard ball / lotto ball" device...
....perhaps.

Technology Didn’t Kill The Music Industry. The Fans Did..
A Guest Post by Sahpreem A. King
Give It Away…Give It Away…Give It Away Now!
Why Fans Are Destroying the Music Business.
It is a scary proposition when paying artists for their music has become a voluntary act of kindness, rather than a consumer responsibility. The free music fans consume like water, cost artists money to create; money they will never recover as long as the artist’s fan base consumes it for free. Nothing is wrong with giving away an exclusive FREE track every now and again, but that should be the exception and not the rule.
As artists, we must stand our ground and set the expectation.
The ideology behind music freemium has destroyed the working class musician and independent labels.
Everyone thought that Napster was the second coming of Christ—and the beginning of the music revolution; however, in the midst of this transformation, the fans became increasingly desensitized to the fact, that the free music they were consuming was created by artists who have to make a living from their music. The fallacy that artists/musicians are ultra rich is just that… a myth, nonetheless, perpetuated thanks to over-the-top hip hop videos and MTV Cribs, leading fans to believe that all artists are rich.
This is hardly the case when only 1% of artists are successfully making a living from their music.
Nevertheless, fans have been disillusioned to believe that their enjoyment of the free music obtained from the remaining 99% only affects the major labels, meanwhile most artists are literally starving.
The music industry is a brutal bitch, a beast that chews up artists and shits them out.
What if artists and musicians grew tired of the abuse and decided to stop making music? What then? Radio stations would be nothing but dead air between commercials — if all their advertisers don’t abandon them like rats on a sinking ship — and televisions stations that play music videos would be blank screens. Imagine your favorite movie with no music to set the tone, or going to a school dance minus the dance. Like I said, a scary proposition.
When fans are left the option to pay whatever they’d like for music, they almost always choose zero.
As a content creator of music, why should I have to pass around the collection plate or hold out the tip jar and jingle it to capture your attention? What if artists told fans that they would have to work at their jobs for free? Do you think they would go quietly in the night to the land of acceptance? Hell no, they would be in outrage, so why do they expect artists to just take one for the team?
Greed perhaps, ignorance maybe, but the one thing is for sure is that fans have a lopsided perspective as to what really goes on in the music business. Artisans should be able to make a living from their work no different from a nurse or auto mechanic.
Sure, the 1% is living the lifestyle of the rich and famous; however, the 99% are one poorly-promoted show away from being homeless. For God’s sake, something has to give.
I believe the healing will begin when the public is educated on how the music business works sans the VH1 movies and Hollywood imagery.
If fans understood what it takes to make a record — all the time, money, people, and energy — they would have more respect for the art and science of it. If they could experience, on some part the dedication and sacrifice artists endure, their nonchalant attitudes toward paying artists what they owe would change. Fans don’t realize that artists of today were fans of yesterday and the cycle is everlasting.
Fans and artists must come to an agreement on how music will be monetized using fair and equitable practices. According to a recent CNN poll, the average football fan will pay $143 per game, which includes the cost of the ticket, parking, and refreshments, for a one-time event. For music, a fans have the opportunity to play a CD as many times as they desire; yet they complain about spending $16 for the CD. In order to set the wheels of change in motion, there must be a catalyst.Sunday, July 13, 2014

Humane Meat: Taste the Happy!
So, as you’ve probably figured out, there is no such thing as “humane meat.” On “humane,” “grass-fed,” and “organic” farms, animals are still subject to cruel industry standards: severe crowding, physical mutilation without painkillers, and a terrifying death.

Avant-garde Metal, Avant-metal, and Experimental Metal Music Genres
Avant-garde metal or avant-metal, also known as experimental metal, is a subgenre of heavy metal music loosely defined by use of experimentation and characterized by the use of innovative, avant-garde elements, large-scale experimentation, and the use of non-standard and unconventional sounds, instruments, song structures, playing styles, and vocal techniques.
It evolved out of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and extreme metal, particularly death metal and black metal. Some local scenes include Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, and Seattle in the United States, Oslo in Norway, and Tokyo in Japan.
Avant-garde metal has been called the most difficult heavy metal genre to define and describe. It is characterized by the use of innovative, avant-garde elements, large-scale experimentation, and the use of non-standard and unconventional sounds, instruments, song structures, playing styles, and vocal techniques.
The term "avant-garde metal" is also often used as a term for the separate genre of "atmospheric metal" or "post-metal", which was named in reference to post-rock. Avant-garde metal is related to progressive metal, but avant-garde metal often has more experimentation, while progressive metal usually has a tighter focus on traditional metal instrumentation and higher levels of technical complexity.
Avant-garde metal also uses unusual sounds, breaks conventions, and often includes new elements. The lyrics and visual presentation of the genre are eclectic as well. According to Jeff Wagner in Mean Deviation, electronic percussion and drum machines see widespread use by avant-garde metal bands, along with female vocals and operatic elements, all of which he attributes to the influence of the band Celtic Frost.
The Canadian group Voivod also influenced future bands such as Pim Zond, in the genre, pioneering technique such as robotic vocal effects, unusual time signatures, and fractured, dissonant, unorthodox guitar sounds.
