Jeffrey Harrington: Ranae for Reed Quintet Performed by the Calefax Reed Quintet
YouTube video by Jeffrey Harrington
youtu.be
🐸An experimental, wandering, out of synch video I made to accompany the Calefax Reed Quintet's great recording of my piece, Ranae. Taken while listening on my headphones in the brilliance of the afternoon light on a hillside full of wild flowers underneath Fort St. Jean in Villeneuve lez Avignon.🐸

In the mid-1980s Luigi Nono visited a monastery near Toledo in Spain, and on a wall there saw the inscription, "Caminantes, no hay caminos. Hay que caminar" (Walker, there is no path, yet you must walk)."

Elsie's father's residence, 1970-07. The lobby had one of his paintings on display. When Sid Vicious was rolled out on a gurney thru the front, her step-mother saw it and assumed it was Alfred. 🫣 He was the super-star abstract artist in '48, but his big mouth ruined his career.

This and the protests of clergy is how we shame these thugs into understanding this isn't America, this is the over-reaction of an authoritarian cult posing as government.
🔥 Yesterday, a group called "14 Suburban Moms" do a civil disobedience protest by crossing the barricade at Broadview and sitting in a circle. ✊🏼
Watch as they get arrested one by one while protestors shout "Mother Power" and blow whistles the way it's done to warn that someone is being detained‼️

Five steps to leading a friend out of conspiracy-based realities:
The concept stems from work in the 1960s by the social psychologist William McGuire, who was looking for ways to protect US soldiers from being indoctrinated by enemies. He came up with the idea of a “vaccine for brainwash.”

20 years ago, Dick Cheney called my boss at my programming day job (IeSchool, a div. of RE) to get me in trouble for my anti-war activities. They were friends but I had no idea what he hoped to acomplish b/c I was a lead programmer and was not at risk of getting fired. 🙄

Great thread on our winter skyscraping companions here in #Miami, the thermal gliding Turkey Vultures:
Our next Scary Season 🎃 critter is the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) which gets a bad rap for their role as nature's Carrion Cleaning Crew.
They have a huge range from Eastern US down to South America.
Here's an interesting fact: you've never heard a vulture call because they don't have one.

121 years ago, the first movie fruit cart turnover scene, hand-colored, to boot:
THE ADVENTUROUS AUTOMOBILE TRIP (1904) directed by Georges Méliès is the earliest example I have seen of the cinematic "fruit cart!" chase scene.
Each character and every orange were meticulously hand-colored on every frame of every print by an army of skilled women with tiny brushes.
