sufria su jefe la obligaba&lt;br /&gt;
con ella sacaba buena lana&lt;br /&gt;
la pobre era jorobada&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dolores estaba deforme y su papá la mandaba a pedir limosna. Le iba bien.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;su madre le metia al talon&lt;br /&gt;
era perversa y de mal corazon&lt;br /&gt;
su hermano vivia el reventon&lt;br /&gt;
el era lilo amante de un panzon&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Su mamá se prostituía y era como la vil fregada. Su hermano era un homosexual cuyo amante sufría de sobrepeso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;ese dia paseaba normalmente&lt;br /&gt;
cuando su padre atacola de repente&lt;br /&gt;
violola con un deseo demente&lt;br /&gt;
ella quiso morirse en ese instante&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Su papá le dió...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;mato a su padre cuando este la seguia&lt;br /&gt;
mientras su madre con su hermano le ponia&lt;br /&gt;
penso que ayuda jamaz encontraria&lt;br /&gt;
hasta que al fin hallo a un policia&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...y ella lo mató. Mientras tanto su hermano consumaba el acto sexual con su mamá. Lola tuvo la dudosa suerte de encontrarse un chota.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;la lola su historia lloro&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;siguiola atacola golpeola violola y matola&lt;br /&gt;

En un movimiento típico de policía mexicano, este mató a la pobre de Lola.&lt;br /&gt;

Literalmente. Apestaba a caca. Cuando uno se le acercaba era imposible no sospechar que alguna traviesa ventosidad le había salido con regalito, como luego dicen, dotándolo de un olor (extraño y familiar a la vez, como todas las cacas y los pedos ajenos) que lo acompañaba a todos lados como un aura indeseable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Y como si no le bastara compartir con nosotros el olor de sus desperdicios fisiológicos, era un corrupto. Recuerdo haberme ido a exámenes extraordinarios con este especimen que ahora nos ocupa. ¿Por qué me fui a extraordinario? Porque la clase era aburridísima y me daba una hueva increíble dedicarle tiempo a algo que no me gustaba. Porque, por otro lado, dicha clase me parecía aturdidoramente fácil. Por lo que tomé la decisión más sabia de dicho semestre: pasármela relajado durante el mismo y limitarme a presentar exámen extraordinario al final, con el que seguramente pasaría con un 9 o un 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El día de presentar el dichoso exámen llegó y lo primero que nos dice el profe a los tres o cuatro alumnos que estábamos ahí fue "no van a pasar chavos". "Puta, salió psíquico este profe, está viendo el futuro cercano". Ah, qué psíquico ni qué nada. Acto seguido el profe dijo (parafraseando): "pero cumplo años por estos días, mejor regálenme algo y dependiendo del regalo, la calificación". ¡Oh! A lo que yo contesté (parafraseando): "¡ni madres, yo presento el exámen!".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Algunas cosas que podemos aprender con este experimento son:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Las tokiohoteleras no saben leer: esto se vuelve evidente cuando todas parecen creer que mi post es realmente ofensivo con Tokio Hotel. La verdad es que no lo es, fuera de la imagen. En el texto claramente especifico que se trata simplemente de un experimento.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Las tokiohoteleras no saben escribir: bueno, no tengo que profundizar demasiado en esto, ¿&lt;a href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2008/09/tokio-hotel-apesta.html"&gt;o sí&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Las tokiohoteleras son homofóbicas: o, al menos, ven la homosexualidad como algo ofensivo. Esto lo sabemos gracias a las reacciones que la gran mayoría presenta al enterarse de que alguien a llamado "gay" al cantante de Tokio Hotel, y de su uso de términos alusivos a la homosexualidad en forma de insultos.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;En general, lo que hemos aprendido es que las tokiohoteleras no parecen ser muy inteligentes que digamos. Triste, pero cierto.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-499450301145012418?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/499450301145012418/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/10/mas-sobre-la-apestosidad-de-tokio-hotel.html#comment-form" title="2 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/499450301145012418?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/499450301145012418?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/10/mas-sobre-la-apestosidad-de-tokio-hotel.html" title="Más sobre la apestosidad de Tokio Hotel" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;Dk8DR3k9eSp7ImA9WxNWEU8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-8724528646457006254</id><published>2009-10-09T16:45:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T16:47:56.761-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-09T16:47:56.761-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Música" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Arte" /><title>La música como un proceso gradual (1968)</title><content type="html">&lt;b&gt;Por Steve Reich&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Traducción de Jorge Rangel&lt;br /&gt;
Texto original en &lt;a href="http://www.austere.org/ProcessMusic.shtm"&gt;http://www.austere.org/ProcessMusic.shtm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No me refiero al proceso mismo de la composición, sino a las piezas musicales que son, literalmente, procesos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lo que distingue los procesos musicales es que determinan  de forma simultánea todos los detalles nota-por-nota (sonido-por-sonido) y la forma general de la obra. (Pensemos en un canon circular o infinito)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Estoy interesado en los procesos perceptibles. Quiero ser capaz de escuchar los procesos sucediendo a través de la música que se escucha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Para facilitar una escucha detallada, un proceso musical debe suceder de forma extremadamente gradual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interpretar y escuchar un proceso musical gradual nos recuerda a:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;jalar de un péndulo, soltarlo y observarlo hasta que, gradualmente, vuelva a su estado de reposo;&lt;br /&gt;
dar la vuelta a un reloj de arena y observar como la arena cae lentamente al fondo;&lt;br /&gt;
poner tus pies a la orilla del mar y observar, sentir y escuchar a las olas mientras los entierran en la arena;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Aunque tal vez yo pueda tener el placer de descubrir procesos musicales y de componer material musical que pase a través de ellos, una vez que un proceso está instalado y cargado, este corre por si mismo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El material puede sugerir a través de que clase de procesos deberá correr (el contenido sugiere la forma), y de la misma forma los procesos pueden sugerir que clase de materiales deberán correr a través de ellos (la forma sugiere el contenido). Si el zapato te queda, póntelo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El que un proceso musical sea realizado a través de la interpretación humana o a través de algún medio electromecánico, no es lo más importante. Uno de los conciertos más hermosos que he escuchado consistió en cuatro compositores tocando sus cintas magnéticas en una sala oscura. (Una cinta es interesante cuando es una cinta interesante).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Es muy natural pensar en procesos musicales si uno trabaja frecuentemente con equipo de sonido electromecánico. Toda la música termina siendo música étnica.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Los procesos musicales ofrecen un contacto directo con lo impersonal y también una especie de control absoluto, y uno no siempre piensa en lo impersonal y en el control absoluto como dos cosas que van juntas. Con "una especie" de control absoluto quiero decir que corriendo este material a través de un proceso controlo completamente todo lo que resulte, pero también acepto todos esos resultados sin cambiarlos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
John Cage ha utilizado procesos y ciertamente ha aceptado sus resultados, pero los procesos que él usa lo fueron con respecto a la composición, y no pueden ser escuchados cuando la pieza es interpretada. El proceso de usar el I Ching o la imperfección de la hoja de papel para determinar parámetros musicales no puede ser oídos cuando se escucha música compuesta de tal manera. Los procesos de composición y la música no tienen una conexión audible. De forma similar en la música serial, la serie en si misma raramente es audible. (Esta es una diferencia básica entre la música serial (básicamente europea) y el arte serial (básicamente americano), donde la serie que se percibe es generalmente el punto focal de la obra.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En lo que estoy interesado es en un proceso de composición y una música que son una y la misma cosa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James Tenney dijo en una conversación, "entonces el compositor no tiene secreto alguno". Yo no conozco secretos de estructura que ustedes no puedan oír. Todos juntos escuchamos el proceso dado que es bastante audible, y una de las razones de que lo sea es porque está sucediendo de forma extremadamente gradual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El uso de dispositivos estructurales ocultos en la música nunca ha sido de mi agrado. Incluso cuando todas las cartas están sobre la mesa y todos escuchan lo que está sucediendo gradualmente en un proceso musica, aún hay suficientes misterios como para satisfacer a todos. Estos misterios son lo impersonal, lo desatendido, subproductos sicoacústicos del proceso pretendido. Estos pueden incluir submelodías que se escuchan dentro de patrones melódicos que se repiten, efectos estereofónicos debidos a la localización del escucha, pequeñas irregularidades en la interpetación, harmónicos, tonos diferenciales, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Escuchar un proceso musical extremadamente gradual abre mis oídos a eso, pero eso siempre se extiende más allá de lo que puedo oír, lo que hace que sea interesante volver a escuchar el proceso musical. Esa área de todo proceso musical gradual (completamente controlado), donde uno oye los detalles del sonido moviéndose más allá de las intenciones, ocurre por sus propias razones acústicas, es eso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Empiezo a percibir estos diminutos detalles cuando puedo mantener una atención cercana y un proceso gradual me invita a mantener mi atención. Por "gradual" quiero decir extremadamente gradual; un proceso que sucede tan lenta y gradualmente que escucharlo sea como observar la manecilla de los minutos en un reloj -- puedes percibir que se mueve después de que lo observas durante un rato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muchos estilos de música modal popular de la actualidad, como la música clásica hindú y el rock psicodélico, pueden hacernos concientes de detalles sonoros diminutos porque, al ser modales (tonalidad central constante, pedal hipnótico y repetitivo) se enfocan de forma natural en esos detalles más que en la modulación de la tonalidad, el contrapunto y otros dispositivos particularmente occidentales. Sin embargo, siguen siendo sistemas para improvisación más o menos estrictos. No son procesos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lo que distingue a los procesos musicales es que ellos determinan todos los detalles nota-por-nota y la forma general de forma simultánea. No se puede improvisar un proceso musical -- los conceptos son mutuamente excluyentes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mientras se interpreta y se escucha un proceso musical gradual uno participa en un particual ritual liberador e impersonal. Enfocarse en el proceso musical hace posible llevar la atención lejos de él y ella y tú y yo hacia eso.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-8724528646457006254?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/8724528646457006254/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/10/la-musica-como-un-proceso-gradual-1968.html#comment-form" title="0 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/8724528646457006254?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/8724528646457006254?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/10/la-musica-como-un-proceso-gradual-1968.html" title="La música como un proceso gradual (1968)" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEUGRHY6cCp7ImA9WxNQEE8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-5461736608027575831</id><published>2009-09-15T08:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T08:43:45.818-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-09-15T08:43:45.818-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Música" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="The Beatles" /><title>The Beatles Remasters: Rubber Soul y Revolver</title><content type="html">Estos son los dos álbumes donde se empezó a ver la evolución sonora de The Beatles, la cual desembocaría en las experimentaciones de &lt;i&gt;Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Magical Mystery Tour&lt;/i&gt; y &lt;i&gt;The Beatles (White Album)&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/Sq6RWCUhGmI/AAAAAAAAAM8/lWzv6Oz3paI/s1600-h/RubberSoulUK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/Sq6RWCUhGmI/AAAAAAAAAM8/lWzv6Oz3paI/s320/RubberSoulUK.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La nueva remasterización nos permite apreciar mejor la primer aparición de un sitar en la música popular occidental, en "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" del &lt;i&gt;Rubber Soul&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El fabuloso solo de "Nowhere Man" brilla más que nunca y la batería en "In My Life" da muestras de una vitalidad que no le conocíamos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A diferencia de los discos anteriores, &lt;i&gt;Rubber Soul&lt;/i&gt; no parece haber sido objeto del leve rebalanceo al que aquellos fueron sometidos, lo que se traduce en una separación estéreo extrema en canciones como "Girl" o "If I Needed Someone".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El riff del puente de "The Word" suena un poco más fuerte, aunque tal vez sea cosa mía.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Revolver&lt;/i&gt; es otra punto y aparte en muchos sentidos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/Sq6Std9-w-I/AAAAAAAAANE/uYTobDoO4co/s1600-h/Revolver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/Sq6Std9-w-I/AAAAAAAAANE/uYTobDoO4co/s320/Revolver.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Tanto en la calidad de la grabación como en el salto que representó para la banda desde el punto de vista musical, &lt;i&gt;Revolver&lt;/i&gt; recibe por fin el trato que se merece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sin duda lo único que revela su edad es el paneo extremo en algunas canciones ("Taxman" tiene la guitarra, el bajo y la batería en un solo lado del estéreo).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aún así, tal vez sea de los álbumes cuya mejora resulta menos notoria debido a la calidad de la grabación original (algo que pasa también con &lt;i&gt;Abbey Road&lt;/i&gt;, por razones similares). A pesar de ello "Tomorrow Never Knows" se revitaliza completamente y ahora si resulta un auténtico viaje a través de los más misteriosos parajes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-5461736608027575831?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/5461736608027575831/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/09/beatles-remasters-rubber-soul-y.html#comment-form" title="0 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/5461736608027575831?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/5461736608027575831?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/09/beatles-remasters-rubber-soul-y.html" title="The Beatles Remasters: Rubber Soul y Revolver" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/Sq6RWCUhGmI/AAAAAAAAAM8/lWzv6Oz3paI/s72-c/RubberSoulUK.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0cDR3g8fSp7ImA9WxNRFUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-6538928373170333167</id><published>2009-09-10T11:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-10T11:11:16.675-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-09-10T11:11:16.675-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Música" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="The Beatles" /><title>The Beatles Remasters: Please Please Me y With The Beatles</title><content type="html">&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhcSTOdKjI/AAAAAAAAAMs/grp3_JSeFlE/s1600-h/PleasePleaseMe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhcSTOdKjI/AAAAAAAAAMs/grp3_JSeFlE/s320/PleasePleaseMe.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Grabado completamente en vivo en los estudios EMI (después rebautizados como Estudios Abbey Road), en tres sesiones de tres horas (mañana, tarde y noche de un solo día), &lt;i&gt;Please Please Me&lt;/i&gt; es básicamente el repertorio en vivo que The Beatles traía por esos años.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El CD lanzado en 1987 es una mezcla mono y por primera vez la tenemos en estéreo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Algunas personas no estarán felices ante la extrema separación de los canales, cosa que pasa en las versiones estéreo de los primeros discos de la banda. Personalmente creo que puede llegar a ser un tanto incómodo si los escuchamos con audífonos, pero escuchando este disco en un estéreo, en unas buenas bocinas, como lo estoy haciendo en este momento, es una cosa totalmente disfrutable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mi elección personal son las versiones estéreo, por una razón muy sencilla: espacio sonoro. En una mezcla mono, todo tiene que acomodarse en un espacio muy estrecho, el canal central. Una mezcla estéreo ofrece más espacio para distribuir el audio, lo que desemboca en una mejor definición y más facilidad para apreciar ciertos detalles. Y es ahí donde está la fuerza de esta remasterización: la separación estéreo nos permite escuchar todos los pequeños detalles de aquellas apresuradas sesiones de grabación. Cada armonía, cada rasgueo de guitarra, todo resalta de forma que nunca lo había hecho antes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La gastada voz de Lennon en "Twist and Shout" (que fue la última en grabarse aquel día) es dolorosamente placentera de escuchar. Las guitarras en "Do You Want To Know A Secret" suenan espléndidas, como si (perdonando el cliché) hubieran sido grabadas ayer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhflMyvvqI/AAAAAAAAAM0/959sejeZwd8/s1600-h/Withthebeatlescover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhflMyvvqI/AAAAAAAAAM0/959sejeZwd8/s320/Withthebeatlescover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;With the Beatles&lt;/i&gt; recibe un tratamiento parecido. De la anterior edición en mono, pasamos a esta nueva remasterización en estéreo que nos abre los oídos a detalles que antes eran más difíciles de apreciar o eran menos obvios.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde la inicial "It Won't Be Long", con los instrumentos en el canal izquierdo y las voces en el derecho (al igual que prácticamante todo el &lt;i&gt;Please Please Me&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ahora escuchamos a George Harrison tocando un solo de "Roll Over Beethoven" bastante torpe. ¿Muy cansado durante la sesión de grabación? Ni idea, pero ahora nos damos cuenta de que Harrison no dió el 100% cuando grabó dicha rola.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sin embargo, sigue siendo este un disco con un sonido bastante crudo y duro incluso en comparación con el anterior. Esto para nada es malo, pero esta crudeza hacía que la mezcla mono sonara un poco saturada y rasposa. Habrá que ver de todas formas las remasterizaciones en mono.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-6538928373170333167?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/6538928373170333167/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/09/beatles-remasters-please-please-me-y.html#comment-form" title="0 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/6538928373170333167?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/6538928373170333167?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/09/beatles-remasters-please-please-me-y.html" title="The Beatles Remasters: Please Please Me y With The Beatles" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhcSTOdKjI/AAAAAAAAAMs/grp3_JSeFlE/s72-c/PleasePleaseMe.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUUBSHg_eyp7ImA9WxNRFUk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-1883435413114207383</id><published>2009-09-09T20:18:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T20:47:39.643-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-09-09T20:47:39.643-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="The Beatles" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mi música" /><title>The Beatles Remasters</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhUB5GOmLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/mDYrK-0KUAw/s1600-h/Beatles_Stereo_Box_Set.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhUB5GOmLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/mDYrK-0KUAw/s320/Beatles_Stereo_Box_Set.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379642146377603250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En este momento el tema son los remasters de todo el catálogo de The Beatles. Desde mediados de los ochenta no se había renovado la discografía beatlesca en CD, así que lo que teníamos eran discos de sonido regular, que no llegaban a la calidad del vinil. Antes de descar... ejem, conseguir esta nueva remasterización, mi colección de mp3 de The Beatles consistía enteramente en transferencias de vinil a digital, pues su calidad es muy superior a los CDs de 1987.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, y tras cuatro años de trabajar duro y macizo, Allan Rouse y Guy Massey, ingenieros senior de Abbey Road, nos traen esta tan esperada remasterización del catálogo completo de The Beatles: sus trece álbumes y Past Masters, la recopilación de sencillos y b-sides. Esto nos da en total todo The Beatles, lo que hay que tener para ser poseedor de El Catálogo de The Beatles. Todo lo demás son agregados de regular trascendencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además de este box set (en estéreo), está The Beatles in Mono, con versiones remasterizadas de las mezclas en mono de todos los discos que se publicaron originalmente en dicho formato, esto es, no se incluyen Yellow Submarine, &lt;img src="file:///E:/DOCUME%7E1/Jar/CONFIG%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /&gt;Abbey Road ni Let It Be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Realmente vale la pena pagar los muchos dólares que cuesta? No sé, creo que depende de cada quién. Yo lo haría si pudiera. ¿Realmente mejora el sonido en estas nuevas revisiones? Respuesta corta: si. Respuesta larga: durante los siguientes días (no necesariamente todos los días, pero con cierta regularidad) estaré repasando disco por disco, en algunos casos canción por canción, de esta nueva entrega de The Beatles remasterizados, dando mis opiniones y puntos de vista al respecto. Por razones de familiaridad, para poder llevar a cabo una mejor comparación, me basaré en el box set en estéreo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Espero que me lean estos días.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-1883435413114207383?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/1883435413114207383/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/09/beatles-remasters.html#comment-form" title="0 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/1883435413114207383?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/1883435413114207383?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/09/beatles-remasters.html" title="The Beatles Remasters" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HMWvjTe3UzY/SqhUB5GOmLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/mDYrK-0KUAw/s72-c/Beatles_Stereo_Box_Set.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkQHQH0-eCp7ImA9WxNTFE0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-4243812192524506672</id><published>2009-08-16T02:38:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-16T02:38:51.350-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-08-16T02:38:51.350-05:00</app:edited><title>George Carlin sobre los cigarros</title><content type="html">&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Haven’t we had enough of this cigar smoking shit?

Básicamente porque todo, absolutamente todo lo que representa la realización de una persona, la huella que deja en este mundo, tiene que ver con la diversión. Dejando de lado cualquier análisis metafísico, "4'33" de John Cage debe de haber sido muy divertida de componer y creo que ha de ser muy divertida de escuchar. Es decir, formarse y buscar buen lugar para escuchar 4 minutos y 33 segundos de silencio... ¡divertido!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todas las grandes obras de la humanidad nacieron del hedonismo. Todas las personas que han dejado huella permanente e imborrable lo han hecho llevando a cabo algo que les gustaba, algo que les satisfacía, algo que definitivamente no les aburría.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque si una persona cree que el trabajo es antes que la diversión es porque no le divierte lo que hace, una persona que cree que la escuela es antes que la diversión no está estudiando algo que le divierta. Lo que no nos divierte nos aburre o nos es indiferente. Y hay que estar muy imbécil para tomar la decisión de vivir de algo que nos aburre o nos es indiferente.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class='zemanta-pixie'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=7565754e-e923-812d-a6e4-324951cae1a6' alt='' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-1093829780803367222?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/1093829780803367222/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/07/prioridades.html#comment-form" title="3 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/1093829780803367222?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/1093829780803367222?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/07/prioridades.html" title="Prioridades" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkMNQHszeyp7ImA9WxJVFE0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-2665182131010045908</id><published>2009-06-30T19:34:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T19:34:51.583-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-30T19:34:51.583-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Processing" /><title>CubesWithinACube [ejemplo de Processing]</title><content type="html">&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;Jugueteando y mezclando entre si algunos de los ejemplos de &lt;a href='http://www.processing.org'&gt;Processing&lt;/a&gt;, salió esto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;cubeswithincube.pde&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face='monospace'&gt;import processing.opengl.*;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;// Flock array&lt;br /&gt;int birdCount = 20;&lt;br /&gt;Bird[]birds = new Bird[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsx = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsy = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsz = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsrx = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsry = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsrz = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsspd = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;float[]birdsrot = new float[birdCount];&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cube stage;

Es decir, que en lugar de que el distinguidísimo usuario tenga que sostener su teléfono frente a su rostro y gritar para hablar pueda simplemente pegarlo a su orejita y hablar.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Analicemos la situación:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Radio: *clic* *crack* ¡GÜEY! ¡GÜEY!&lt;br/&gt;Fulano: *sosteniendo su teléfono de la mencionada forma y gritando como ya se apuntó* ¡SI! ¡ADELANTE! ¡SI!&lt;br/&gt;Radio: *clic* ¡GÜEY! ¡NO LLEGÓ EL PINCHE EMBARQUE, NO MAMES!&lt;br/&gt;Fulano: *paseándose* ¡LE DIJE A AQUEL CABRÓN QUE NO LA FUERA A CAGAR! ¡¿YA LE LLAMARON A GODINEZ?!&lt;br/&gt;Radio: *clic* ¡SI, GÜEY! ¡PERO NO MAMES!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Etc. Por el diálogo y el fino vocabulario de los personajes, se entiende que son ingenieros.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Se entenderá el disgusto que esto causa. Ahora, si se utilizara el radio-celular como un celular normal, la cosa sería así:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Fulano: *sosteniendo su teléfono como la gente* Bueno. ¡Le dije a aquel cabrón que no la fuera a cagar! ¡¿Ya le llamaron a Godinez?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;¡Mucho mejor! Asi, cuando menos, nos ahorramos la mitad de la molestia y la perturbación. Creo yo que mi propuesta es 100% factible, y desconociendo el manejo de dichos telefonitos, no estoy seguro de que todos puedan usarse de tal forma, pero las posibilidades son dos:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1) Si se pueden usar de esa forma y los usuarios no lo hacen. Entonces, en lo que a mi respecta, pueden proceder a metérselos por el orificio corporal que encuentren más apropiado para dicho fin.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;2) No se pueden usar de esa forma. Los fabricantes son unos idiotas que no piensan en la incomodidad de terceros y en el hecho de que tales artefactos pueden llegar a caer en manos de ingenieros mexicanos (¡el horror!).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He dicho.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;“One of my parents’ deepest fears, I suspect, is that society would not properly value me as a musician, that I wouldn’t be appreciated. I had very good grades in high school, I was good in science and math, and they imagined that as a doctor or a research chemist or an engineer, I might be more appreciated than I would be as a musician. I still remember my mother’s remark when I announced my decision to apply to music school—she said, “you’re WASTING your SAT scores.” On some level, I think, my parents were not sure themselves what the value of music was, what its purpose was. And they LOVED music, they listened to classical music all the time. They just weren’t really clear about its function. So let me talk about that a little bit, because we live in a society that puts music in the “arts and entertainment” section of the newspaper, and serious music, the kind your kids are about to engage in, has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with entertainment, in fact it’s the opposite of entertainment. Let me talk a little bit about music, and how it works.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;The first people to understand how music really works were the ancient Greeks. And this is going to fascinate you; the Greeks said that music and astronomy were two sides of the same coin. Astronomy was seen as the study of relationships between observable, permanent, external objects, and music was seen as the study of relationships between invisible, internal, hidden objects. Music has a way of finding the big, invisible moving pieces inside our hearts and souls and helping us figure out the position of things inside us. Let me give you some examples of how this works.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;One of the most profound musical compositions of all time is the Quartet for the End of Time written by French composer Olivier Messiaen in 1940. Messiaen was 31 years old when France entered the war against Nazi Germany. He was captured by the Germans in June of 1940, sent across Germany in a cattle car and imprisoned in a concentration camp.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;He was fortunate to find a sympathetic prison guard who gave him paper and a place to compose. There were three other musicians in the camp, a cellist, a violinist, and a clarinetist, and Messiaen wrote his quartet with these specific players in mind. It was performed in January 1941 for four thousand prisoners and guards in the prison camp. Today it is one of the most famous masterworks in the repertoire.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Given what we have since learned about life in the concentration camps, why would anyone in his right mind waste time and energy writing or playing music? There was barely enough energy on a good day to find food and water, to avoid a beating, to stay warm, to escape torture—why would anyone bother with music? And yet—from the camps, we have poetry, we have music, we have visual art; it wasn’t just this one fanatic Messiaen; many, many people created art. Why? Well, in a place where people are only focused on survival, on the bare necessities, the obvious conclusion is that art must be, somehow, essential for life. The camps were without money, without hope, without commerce, without rec reation, without basic respect, but they were not without art. Art is part of survival; art is part of the human spirit, an unquenchable expression of who we are. Art is one of the ways in which we say, “I am alive, and my life has meaning.”&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;On September 12, 2001 I was a resident of Manhattan. That morning I reached a new understanding of my art and its relationship to the world. I sat down at the piano that morning at 10 AM to practice as was my daily routine; I did it by force of habit, without thinking about it. I lifted the cover on the keyboard, and opened my music, and put my hands on the keys and took my hands off the keys. And I sat there and thought, does this even matter? Isn’t this completely irrelevant? Playing the piano right now, given what happened in this city yesterday, seems silly, absurd, irreverent, pointless. Why am I here? What place has a musician in this moment in time? Who needs a piano player right now? I was completely lost.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;And then I, along with the rest of New York, went through the journey of getting through that week. I did not play the piano that day, and in fact I contemplated briefly whether I would ever want to play the piano again. And then I observed how we got through the day.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;At least in my neighborhood, we didn’t shoot hoops or play Scrabble. We didn’t play cards to pass the time, we didn’t watch TV, we didn’t shop, we most certainly did not go to the mall. The first organized activity that I saw in New York, that same day, was singing. People sang. People sang around fire houses, people sang “We Shall Overcome”. Lots of people sang America the Beautiful. The first organized public event that I remember was the Brahms Requiem, later that week, at Lincoln Center, with the New York Philharmonic. The first organized public expression of grief, our first communal response to that historic event, was a concert. That was the beginning of a sense that life might go on. The US Military secured the airspace, but recovery was led by the arts, and by music in particular, that very night.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;From these two experiences, I have come to understand that music is not part of “arts and entertainment” as the newspaper section would have us believe. It’s not a luxury, a lavish thing that we fund from leftovers of our budgets, not a plaything or an amusement or a pass time. Music is a basic need of human survival. Music is one of the ways we make sense of our lives, one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no words, a way for us to understand things with our hearts when we cannot with our minds.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Some of you may know Samuel Barber’s heartwrenchingly beautiful piece Adagio for Strings. If you don’t know it by that name, then some of you may know it as the background music which accompanied the Oliver Stone movie Platoon, a film about the Vietnam War. If you know that piece of music either way, you know it has the ability to crack your heart open like a walnut; it can make you cry over sadness you didn’t know you had. Music can slip beneath our conscious reality to get at what’s really going on inside us the way a good therapist does.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;I bet that you have never been to a wedding where there was absolutely no music. There might have been only a little music, there might have been some really bad music, but I bet you there was some music. And something very predictable happens at weddings—people get all pent up with all kinds of emotions, and then there’s some musical moment where the action of the wedding stops and someone sings or plays the flute or something. And even if the music is lame, even if the quality isn’t good, predictably 30 or 40 percent of the people who are going to cry at a wedding cry a couple of moments after the music starts. Why? The Greeks. Music allows us to move around those big invisible pieces of ourselves and rearrange our insides so that we can express what we feel even when we can’t talk about it. Can you imagine watching Indiana Jones or Superman or Star Wars with the dialogue but no music? What is it about the music swelling up at just the right moment in ET so that all the softies in the audience start crying at exactly the same moment? I guarantee you if you showed the movie with the music stripped out, it wouldn’t happen that way. The Greeks: Music is the understanding of the relationship between invisible internal objects.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;I’ll give you one more example, the story of the most important concert of my life. I must tell you I have played a little less than a thousand concerts in my life so far. I have played in places that I thought were important. I like playing in Carnegie Hall; I enjoyed playing in Paris; it made me very happy to please the critics in St. Petersburg. I have played for people I thought were important; music critics of major newspapers, foreign heads of state. The most important concert of my entire life took place in a nursing home in Fargo, ND, about 4 years ago.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;I was playing with a very dear friend of mine who is a violinist. We began, as we often do, with Aaron Copland’s Sonata, which was written during World War II and dedicated to a young friend of Copland’s, a young pilot who was shot down during the war. Now we often talk to our audiences about the pieces we are going to play rather than providing them with written program notes. But in this case, because we began the concert with this piece, we decided to talk about the piece later in the program and to just come out and play the music without explanation.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Midway through the piece, an elderly man seated in a wheelchair near the front of the concert hall began to weep. This man, whom I later met, was clearly a soldier—even in his 70’s, it was clear from his buzz-cut hair, square jaw and general demeanor that he had spent a good deal of his life in the military. I thought it a little bit odd that someone would be moved to tears by that particular movement of that particular piece, but it wasn’t the first time I’ve heard crying in a concert and we went on with the concert and finished the piece.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;When we came out to play the next piece on the program, we decided to talk about both the first and second pieces, and we described the circumstances in which the Copland was written and mentioned its dedication to a downed pilot. The man in the front of the audience became so disturbed that he had to leave the auditorium. I honestly figured that we would not see him again, but he did come backstage afterwards, tears and all, to explain himself.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;What he told us was this: “During World War II, I was a pilot, and I was in an aerial combat situation where one of my team’s planes was hit. I watched my friend bail out, and watched his parachute open, but the Japanese planes which had engaged us returned and machine gunned across the parachute chords so as to separate the parachute from the pilot, and I watched my friend drop away into the ocean, realizing that he was lost. I have not thought about this for many years, but during that first piece of music you played, this memory returned to me so vividly that it was as though I was reliving it. I didn’t understand why this was happening, why now, but then when you came out to explain that this piece of music was written to commemorate a lost pilot, it was a little more than I could handle. How does the music do that? How did it find those feelings and those memories in me?”&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Remember the Greeks: music is the study of invisible relationships between internal objects. This concert in Fargo was the most important work I have ever done. For me to play for this old soldier and help him connect, somehow, with Aaron Copland, and to connect their memories of their lost friends, to help him remember and mourn his friend, this is my work. This is why music matters.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;What follows is part of the talk I will give to this year’s freshman class when I welcome them a few days from now. The responsibility I will charge your sons and daughters with is this:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;“If we were a medical school, and you were here as a med student practicing appendectomies, you’d take your work very seriously because you would imagine that some night at two AM someone is going to waltz into your emergency room and you’re going to have to save their life. Well, my friends, someday at 8 PM someone is going to walk into your concert hall and bring you a mind that is confused, a heart that is overwhelmed, a soul that is weary. Whether they go out whole again will depend partly on how well you do your craft.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;You’re not here to become an entertainer, and you don’t have to sell yourself. The truth is you don’t have anything to sell; being a musician isn’t about dispensing a product, like selling used Chevies. I’m not an entertainer; I’m a lot closer to a paramedic, a firefighter, a rescue worker. You’re here to become a sort of therapist for the human soul, a spiritual version of a chiropractor, physical therapist, someone who works with our insides to see if they get things to line up, to see if we can come into harmony with ourselves and be healthy and happy and well.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Frankly, ladies and gentlemen, I expect you not only to master music; I expect you to save the planet. If there is a future wave of wellness on this planet, of harmony, of peace, of an end to war, of mutual understanding, of equality, of fairness, I don’t expect it will come from a government, a military force or a corporation. I no longer even expect it to come from the religions of the world, which together seem to have brought us as much war as they have peace. If there is a future of peace for humankind, if there is to be an understanding of how these invisible, internal things should fit together, I expect it will come from the artists, because that’s what we do. As in the concentration camp and the evening of 9/11, the artists are the ones who might be able to help us with our internal, invisible lives.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.symphonymusicians.com/WelcomeAddressbyKarlPaulnack/tabid/87/Default.aspx'&gt;Link original&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-8092065830657959471?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/8092065830657959471/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/05/welcome-address-by-karl-paulnack.html#comment-form" title="0 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/8092065830657959471?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/8092065830657959471?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/05/welcome-address-by-karl-paulnack.html" title="Welcome Address, by Karl Paulnack" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0YHRHYyeyp7ImA9WxJREko.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672636068726595280.post-1430617892784023100</id><published>2009-05-14T00:31:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T00:32:15.893-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-14T00:32:15.893-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mi música" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ChucK" /><title>Pulses</title><content type="html">&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;font face='monospace'&gt;// PULSES&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;// By: Jorge Rangel - http://blog.jrangel.net - jarg1985[at]gmail[dot]com - Main code&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;// Licence&lt;br/&gt;// Creative Commons NC-BY-SA 3.0&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[48, 50, 52, 55, 57, 60, 62, 64, 67, 69] @=&amp;gt;

Stockhausen muy amablemente le contestó que francamente le daba mucha hueva escribir un cuarteto de cuerdas, así que declinó la oferta. Pero sucedió que una noche, después de cenar pesado (quiero creer), Stockhausen tuvo un sueño muy loco en el volaba por encima de cuatro helicópteros, cada uno llevando a un miembro de un cuarteto de cuerdas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde luego que semejante idea no podía desperdiciarse, así que se puso a hacer planes para poder llevar a cabo su sueño, así que entre 1992 y 1993 compuso el Cuarteto de cuerdas y helicópteros (Helikopter-Streichquartett). Al terminar la partitura se la mandó al profe Landesmann para que viera que tal. Tanto Landesmann como Gerard Mortier, director del Festival de Salzburgo, vieron la partitura con buenos ojos y le dieron luz verde al proyecto y negociaron con la armada austriaca para que les rentaran unos helicópteros. Pero como los ecologistas más radicales siempre gustan de echar a perder todas las cosas que hacen que valga la pena vivir en este mundo, dijeron que no, que como iban a contaminar el cielo interpretando la pieza de Stockhausen (¡!), lo que provocó que la premiere se cancelara. El caso es que finalmente se pudo interpretar por primera vez el 26 de junio de 1995, pero esa vez en el Festival de Holanda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde luego que interpretar esta pieza representa muchos problemas logísticos que hay que resolver, principalmente en lo que se trata de conseguir cuatro helicópteros para trepar un cuarteto de cuerdas. Cada helicóptero debe contar también con un técnico de audio/video para transmitir todo al teatro o foro donde oficialmente se está presentando la pieza y donde el público podrá ver todo desde el momento en que el cuarteto sale del escenario, hasta que sube en los helicópteros, interpretan la pieza y regresan al escenario. De cada helicóptero salen tres señales de audio: de la voz del intérprete, de su instrumento y del rotor del helicóptero, que actúa como acompañamiento para el cuarteto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si después de leer sobre esta mariguanada les dan ganas de escuchar un cachito de sus poco más de 21 minutos de duración, aquí les dejo este video tan bello:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class='youtube-video'&gt;&lt;object height='344' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://www.youtube.com/v/g2qQ6UWbRVc&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1' name='movie'&gt; &lt;/param&gt;&lt;param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'&gt; &lt;/param&gt;&lt;param value='always' name='allowscriptaccess'&gt; &lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed height='344' width='425' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://www.youtube.com/v/g2qQ6UWbRVc&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1'&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Chaca chaca chaca chaca!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class='zemanta-pixie'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=1db9295c-1c95-801e-8f76-c2656e3e667d' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1672636068726595280-7770082734013157183?l=blog.jrangel.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/feeds/7770082734013157183/comments/default" title="Enviar comentarios" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/05/karlheinz-stockhausen-helicopter-string.html#comment-form" title="0 comentarios" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/7770082734013157183?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1672636068726595280/posts/default/7770082734013157183?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://blog.jrangel.net/2009/05/karlheinz-stockhausen-helicopter-string.html" title="Karlheinz Stockhausen - Helicopter String Quartet" /><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06989494076971087195</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="02979437720630869198" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry></feed>
