Anche quest'anno, a fine maggio Como ha ospitato nelle sue piazze i lavori creativi degli studenti di Como. Il tema di quest'anno era: "I Colori". Ed anche se la mia scuola non ha partecipato, la creatività cromatica e la voglia di stare insieme non sono di certo mancate!

I attended the Charles Lloyd Trios:Ocean Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum. It is an incredible venue for Jazz concerts. They considered me with my Sony A7 IV a professional photographer. So they relegated me to my iPhone. I wasn't thinking fast enough and forget to shoot in Apple RAW.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lloyd_(jazz_musician)
Charles Lloyd (born March 15, 1938)[1] is an American jazz musician. He primarily plays tenor saxophone and flute and occasionally other reed instruments,
Lloyd is given credit for anticipating world music by incorporating music from other cultures into his compositions, as early as the late 1950s. He describes his music as having "danced on many shores".[7] Peter Watrous stated, "Lloyd has come up with a strange and beautiful distillation of the American experience, part abandoned and wild, part immensely controlled and sophisticated."[8]
Since 2015, Lloyd has recorded ten albums for Blue Note, including 2024's The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow, which was selected by DownBeat critics as album of the year. Lloyd was also elected into the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2024.[25]

"Charles Lloyd has long been a free spirit, master musician, and visionary. For more than six decades the legendary saxophonist and composer has loomed large over the music world, and at 84 years old he remains both at the height of his powers and as prolific as ever. Early on Lloyd saw how placing the improvised solo in interesting and original contexts could provoke greater freedom of expression and inspire creativity.
As a sound seeker, Lloyd’s restless creativity has perhaps found no greater manifestation than on his latest masterwork, an expansive project that encompasses three individual albums each presenting him in a different trio setting—a Trio of Trios. The first, Trios: Chapel, features Lloyd with guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Thomas Morgan. The second, Trios: Ocean, with guitarist Anthony Wilson and pianist Gerald Clayton. The third, Trios: Sacred Thread, with guitarist Julian Lage and percussionist Zakir Hussain.
Lloyd once pointed out that his playing was a reflection of his life in real time. Perhaps this explains the emotional power of his playing, a soulful cry from the heart that argues for peace and beauty in a world becoming increasingly impatient with both. It’s why his saxophone tone, his signature in sound, is central to his art. “I’m trying to get a great sound, because when I think of all the great masters that went before, this kid in me still sees areas where I come up short and I continue to work on it,” he says. Unique and expressive, it’s what draws listeners into his music, shaping the emotive elements of his performances, from passionate intensity to sotto voce subtones, from which we construe meaning.
With good reason Lloyd’s playing has been described as lyrical, a style that is evocative of singing, expressing a subjective, personal point of view. Indeed, as a child he wanted to train as a singer, and today, when he plays a ballad, such as his recent recording of ‘Anthem’ by Leonard Cohen on Tone Poem, he has spoken of how knowing a song’s lyrics helps him add greater expressive weight to his playing. It is a reminder of music’s ancient connection with words and how melody frequently follows the meter and rhythm of speech patterns. Formalized a thousand years ago with the diatonicism of plainsong, music’s evolution through chromaticism to what has been called “the crisis in tonality” precipitated by Arnold Schoenberg, was mirrored in jazz in the space of just fifty years. So much has been accomplished in music that today, the search for the “always new” that propelled jazz through the twentieth century has given way to the realization to the once witty riposte by arch-modernist and surrealist Man Ray in the 1920s — “I can’t do something better than the old masters did, my only justification is to do something different.”
MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM’s founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museum’s development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.
Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in common—a thought powerfully expressed in our motto, music is the language of the soul.
MIM’s immersive exhibits foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and the craftsmanship and traditions of instrument makers from the past to the present. A visit to MIM is also about experiencing the sensory nature of music and how it affects our emotions. Through state-of-the-art, interactive media, guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts.

Harmony. Explore the art of mathematics and make your own drawing using this bizarre and strange contraption. Harmony is a harmonograph, a mechanical apparatus that employs pendulums to create a geometric image. The drawings created typically are 'Lissajous curves', or related drawings of greater complexity.
"Walking past a blacksmiths one day, Pythagoras heard a familiar harmony in the ringing tones of the hammers at work inside. He discovered that the weights of the hammers were responsible for their relative notes. A hammer weighing half as much as another sounded a note twice as high."
Harmony - created and presented by Bird and Bee.

Thinking of giving your kitchen a facelift? Known for being one of the most commonly used rooms in the home, the kitchen can frequently need to be spruced up or improved on. Rather than spending an arm and a leg on new furniture and aesthetic materials, you can just as well use some of the things you have lying around the home to turn your kitchen around.
1. Creative Lighting
Instead of buying fixtures you can try repurposing old kitchenware. A pasta strainer, for instance, is a great start for a chandelier. Adding some string and tying spoons, jewels, or whatever else you want to hang from it makes it a creative focal point in your kitchen. If you really want to take your eco-friendly design to the next level, contacting local energy companies about alternative energy sources is a great step – especially if your kitchen requires a lot of lighting.
2. Backsplash Made from Dishes
Do you have an old set of kitchen dishes that you no longer have the use for? Instead of trashing them, you can break the dishes and create a unique backsplash. All you’ll need to purchase is some spackle, and you can place the broken pieces on the wall.

3. Recycled Wall Art
Create a feature wall in your kitchen with things you have lying around. Hanging a collage of plates, or spoons from the wall, for instance, adds creativity and ties into the theme of your new upcycled kitchen.

4. Repurposed Kitchen Island
Counterspace is great for those who love to cook, and it can be easy to add. Instead of investing in new countertops or an expensive island, you can turn some of your old living room furniture into a creative kitchen island. A small dresser, bookshelf, table or metal cabinet works just fine. Repaint it to match the theme of your kitchen and add a countertop to it such as a slab of wood, an old door, or a slab of stone.

5. Shutter Plate Rack
Are you running out of space to store your china sets? Instead of wrapping them up and putting them in boxes, you can easily display them in your kitchen. You can create a display shelf out of old shutters. You’ll need to purchase some screws, L braces, hooks, and paint.
6. Painted Coffee Cans
Coffee cans can be great for holding utensils and/or decorative flowers in the kitchen. Keep your old coffee cans and paint the exterior. Place them on cabinets with your cooking utensils in them or in the window with fresh cut flowers for a nice decorative finish.
7. Window Pane Wall Art
Old window panes can actually make great wall art. If you have old window panes that are still intact, you can paint or sand and stain them to match your kitchen. Hang them in an area where the wall is bare to add some life to it. You can change the entire vibe of your kitchen with things you’re no longer using around the house. So before you throw out that old dresser, door, or appliance, consider how it can be repurposed. A few small investments, some creativity, and a little elbow grease can transform your kitchen.
