STRANIERI IN PATRIA

Arrestata la figlia di Marley per possesso di marijuana
, la più giovane delle figlie del Re del reggae Bob Marley, è stata arrestata a West Chester, piccolo centro alle porte di Filadelfia, perché trovata in possesso di sostanze stupefacenti: nello specifico, le autorità locali hanno trovato nell'abitazione della donna una dozzina di grosse piante di marijuana. A Makeda Jahnesta venne contestato lo stesso reato due anni fa, quando gli agenti - chiamati per un episodio di turbative domestiche - trovarono nella taverna della casa diverse piante di canapa indiana. In seguito al fermo, Makeda dichiarò alla corte di non usufruire più del sostentamento lasciatole dal padre dal compimento del diciottesimo. La prima udienza del nuovo processo è stata fissata per il prossimo mese di ottobre: l'avvocato difensore di Makeda ha dichiarato che domanderà la libertà condizionata. L’avvocato Thomas K. Schindler ha detto che la sua cliente, come suo padre, crede che la marijuana abbia un valore religioso.di Comunicato, Thursday, September 09, 2010

LIVES and QUOTES
A musical experience, a urban exploration, a multidimensional trip through common Lives and famous Quotes. Mandala, visions, colours, sounds, shapes, fractals, faces, hopes, needs, habits, wishes mixed
in an intensive and rhythmic audio visual animation: a multi-character narration through the four dimensions of City, Food, Nature and Dream. Who are we really? What do we actually do?
How do we observe life for then sharing our emotions and feelings? Where do we go and where
do we move when we dream? When are we effectively alive? A sociological, anthropological
and creative view on the Dream Society captured in the European city symbol of the post-modern
age, Berlin. A waking dream, where conscious and unconscious are deeply linked. A vibrant journey into daily human life, where all human beings are naturally related with the whole Universe.
We are all connected. Is life a collective waking dream?
"LIVES and QUOTES" is a new creative audiovisual entertainment experience created by Klesha Production involving common people as actor and common places as production set. A low budget production with a high human engagement.

ANDREA FIORITO MODERATO ZOOLOGICO
Let's be honest, these days a lot of techno takes itself far too seriously. Too many artists are so consumed in their pursuit of a beard-stroking cliquey tug-job that their work ends up bordering the narcoleptic. People forget that techno should be about having fun - about strapping stupid sounds to a killer bassline and seeing what happens when you light the touch paper. Well, it seems not everyone has forgotten. Andrea Fiorito certainly hasn't...
Each of the three tracks on the Moderato Zoologico EP is seemingly more bonkers than the last, but what makes each so brilliant is the understated manner in which this is revealed. Take the lead cut, ‘Escape From Myself', as an example. After opening in the fairly innocuous manner of a typical slice of dancefloor techno, with steady bassline, pitched down vox and splashy, jackin beat, things only start to go doolally at the three-minute mark. Subtle Rhodes stabs mix with an off-kilter medley of atonal keys, while the bassline goes for a brief stroll to put some jam in the toaster. Then, after a timely interjection from a hitherto unseen female opera singer, there's a brief breakdown, a slight pause, and things return to the relative normality of the start. Brilliant.
B-side ‘Zoraida' takes even longer to play its had. After two minutes of crisp, compressed drums, in creeps a bassline, followed by a dreamy arpeggio, some rather odd strobing FX noise and a round of cheeky key stabs. Then, just when you think you've seen all that the tune has to offer, out of nowhere come the caramel tones of vocalist Amelia Saul at the five-minute mark, lacing the beats with a sweet touch of human soul. It's unfussy but completely unexpected, and that's what makes it, again, absolutely brilliant.
Finally, not one to be left out in the crazy stakes, digital-only bonus track ‘Jazzato Minimo' weds some techy, droplet percussion with warm deep house chords for the opening three minutes. Then (you guessed it), right out of leftfield comes an impromptu random piano solo. As the reverb on the keys is ramped up the bassline continues underneath, before - bam - in comes the deep house beat of the opening, this time backed up by some super fly jazz organ to really get you eating glue and shouting at your nearest lamppost.
So, it's a triple-whammy of silliness from Fiorito, but if all three of these cuts aren't massive this summer then maybe we all should head to the nearest loony bin.
