Another shot of the Southeast Bedroom of the Arlington House in Birmingham, Alabama. I was particularly fond of the rocker and the chintz wallpaper.
Arlington is the last remaining Greek Revival antebellum home in Birmingham. It was built in 1842 by William S. Mudd.
The loveseat and cubbies are new; I've had the rocking chair since 1991 -- in fact, it is actually Cargo, not This End Up.
I wasn't able to completely match the fabrics but I think I've done a decent job. The fabric on the loveseat is called Arizona Sky Twilight.
Caught the train to Cardiff for my work's annual conference. Met my colleague Judith at Paddington and we travelled together. She phoned ahead to see if the hotel would let us check in early - which they did. So after a brief stop to drop off our things we then carried on to City Hall and caught up with our colleagues. Had a quick lunch, then sat on our stand for the afternoon.
Had a couple of hours to myself early evening, then a load of us went out for some dinner and a pub quiz. The pub couldn't cope with the volume of food orders, so three of my lovely colleagues went and foraged for us at a nearby takeaway and we sneaked a load of Caribbean food into the venue. Delicious!
As soon as the scores had been totted up and announced (we came joint 9th), I headed straight back to the hotel and to bed. Still exhausted!
El sonido ha sido siempre una de las principales preocupaciones de Rockingchair. Su concepto sonoro es sencillamente sorprendente. Pocas formaciones han realizado un estudio tan intenso del sonido. La búsqueda y la paciencia en la investigación han dado como resultado un sonido depurado y elegante.
La banda utiliza tanto timbres acústicos como sonoridades del rock, pop o música electrónica. Todo suena muy natural, alejado de la frialdad de los aparatos sintéticos. Rockingchair elabora sus composiciones de forma grupal, de forma comunal. Moldean las ondas como un escultor moldea la piedra o la madera. El ritmo, la densidad, el grano, el color, el cincel, el matiz… para Rockingchair todos son conceptos musicales que tejen un sonido colectivo.
Sus influencias son mixtas entre estilos, grupos y músicos: Radiohead, Tom Waits, Jon Hassell, Fellini o Hendriksen Arve, son algunas de sus referencias.
Rockingchair se toma su tiempo, levanta la mirada, timbra el silencio. En ocasiones la base temática de sus composiciones es reducida hasta un segmento abstracto que esconde un fondo orquestado. El lirismo emana en todo su repertorio. Un lirismo unificado y emotivo. La butaca se convierte en una mecedora que navega con la brisa de su Sonido con mayúsculas. La mayor seña de identidad de Rockingchair
