Paul Iannachino, production and remix dynamo from the days when def jux was def jux and men were men, is apparently making a movie. Intriguing! The preliminary site appears to be here…
From the Telegraph UK:
“The former Smiths frontman was taken to hospital at around 9pm after performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.
Eyewitnesses said he performed his song This Charming Man before “falling to the floor” and was then carried off by technical crew. He was said to be unconcious.”

This is not a picture of The Clipse with Cam’ron. But This is a new song by The Clipse and Cam’ron (featuring this famous dude on the beat and hook). I love The Clipse and Cam’ron.
Pioneering sound artist Maryanne Amacher died yesterday. May she rest in peace.
From the Chicago Reader:
“Back in October 2000 the local experimental music presenters at Lampo brought her to Chicago. As Monica Kendrick wrote in the Reader then, “Amacher’s most impressive works are her massive installations, in which she occupies a space for days or even weeks if possible, learning every possible permutation of its acoustic properties, then creates ’sound shapes’ augmented by lighting and sometimes sculptural elements—a complete multisensual environment. She’s very interested in the physical process of hearing, too, and the effects created by the human ear itself—the resonance of one’s own tympanum and ossicles and pinna—which she ‘plays’ using certain frequencies.”

I have never seen a description of anything architectural more concise than this, especially about “scripting.” Look up scripting and the you’ll see where the term “archy-speak,”came from…
“Blow x Blow stages a bout between two trends in exhibition: the claiming of gallery space by architects, and the ceding of that space to the ambient possibilities of new media. To chart this collision, techniques of cinematic projection and scripting are repurposed to spur new orders of spatial and structural sequencing, and new environments for communing with new art.
In the SCI-Arc Gallery, the initial ‘bounce-line’ scripting, in which a single projection-based vector was allowed to rebound ad infinitum through the space of the gallery, evolved in two more disciplined directions. First, the space of the gallery was reconceived as a 6’x7’x8’ gridded frame, the proportions of which allow a 4:3 televisual image on one face, and a 9:16 cinematic aspect ration on the diagonal. Within this matrix, a randomized 16-part vector path was developed, in which each third vector point was triangulated back to its origin to create a continuous, facetted surface. A ‘braid’ of two of these paths supports two dual-screen projection areas. Rather than simply blacking out the gallery, the spanning surfaces of the vectorpaths create a ‘grey room’ condition in which viewers may see each other, but projected images are shaded from clerestory exposure.”
P.S. The openings at Sci-Arc and their lectures are less than stellar to be honest with you. Go on an off day my friends.
