☆ When the Street Moves to the Opera House (and Subverts It)

“It’s a battle on so many fronts, it’s exhausting,” Dembélé said. It culminates in rousing excerpts from “Les Indes Galantes,” but prefaces them with a string of slow-moving scenes, outdoors then inside, that feel like a meditation on emancipation. In Avignon, “G.R.O.O.V.E.” starts at a symbolic spot: in front of the city’s Papal Palace, the imposing site most identified with the event. Ushers then lead the audience to the nearby Avignon Opera, where three groups are formed. “Through us,” Dembélé said, “the street moves into the opera house and subverts it.” Tiago Rodrigues, the new director of the Avignon Festival, said that was the reason he chose Dembélé to open this year’s edition: “It’s a show of the openness and spirit of diversity we want for the festival.”

☆ At Glamorous French Festivals, Poverty Is Only Onstage

Yet “Welfare,” which shared the opening honors in Avignon with a dance production, Bintou Dembélé’s “G.R.O.O.V.E.,” looks as absurd onstage as it is affecting on-screen. It’s as if the sitcom “That 70s Show” had opted to tackle welfare benefits, complete with well-cut, visibly new costumes. The stories told in Wiseman’s film are loosely reorganized here into a day in the life of a welfare center, as case workers deal with one exasperated claimant after the next. There are comedic moments in the film, but in Deliquet’s stage version, they start to feel involuntarily farcical. The energetic delivery of the cast may be because they need to project in the cavernous space, which holds around 2,000 spectators.

☆ What Happens When A.I. Enters the Concert Hall

When the composer and vocalist Jen Wang took the stage at the Monk Space in Los Angeles to perform Alvin Lucier’s “The Duke of York” (1971) earlier this year, she sang with a digital rendition of her voice, synthesized by artificial intelligence. It was the first time she had done that. “I thought it was going to be really disorienting,” Wang said in an interview, “but it felt like I was collaborating with this instrument that was me and was not me.”Isaac Io Schankler, a composer and music professor at Cal Poly Pomona, conceived the performance and joined Wang onstage to monitor and manipulate Realtime Audio Variational autoEncoder, or R.A.V.E., the neural audio synthesis algorithm that modeled Wang’s voice. is an example of machine learning, a specific category of artificial intelligence technology that musicians have experimented with since the 1990s — but that now is defined by rapid development, the arrival of publicly available, A.I.-powered music tools and the dominating influence of high-profile initiatives by large tech companies.

☆ Standing on the Corner Is a Music Collective That Won’t Be Pinned Down

Standing on the Corner has also produced tracks by Earl Sweatshirt, Mike, Danny Brown and Solange (with whom Escobar has been frequently photographed). Prepandemic, Standing on the Corner gigs were often announced via same-day Instagram stories and rarely featured the same musicians or even the same configuration — the group might be a 30-plus-member chamber jazz orchestra or a free jazz organ trio. Escobar’s preferred instrument is the organ, though he doesn’t have a formal music academy background. “In a certain sense that’s what makes it better,” said Lopez, himself an in-demand collaborator in New York’s jazz and improvised music community. That’s where music exists.

AMRCMFN amintește că de fapt unicul agent economic care activează nestingherit pe piața metalelor din RM este SRL ”Sofilarex-Plus”. Această întreprindere este agentul economic care a ridicat prețul de achiziții la metale de la 2800MDL la 3300 MDL per tonă, deschide puncte noi de colectare etc. Toate acestea dovedesc că respectiva afacere merge foarte bine, iar această scrisoare are ca scop victimizarea sa și inducerea în eroare a opiniei publice. Așa numita Asociație Patronală a Metalelor pe care o conduce V.Eșanu nu reprezintă piața metalelor din Moldova ci doar un grup din 4 întreprinderi pe care tot dlui le controlează fondate de el și fratele său. Am considerat necesar să punctăm aceste momente importante pentru informarea corectă a opiniei publice și pentru a nu admite inducerea ei în eroare de către persoane cu interese majore pe piața metalelor.
