Although at the time I was taking these Times Square shots it never occurred to me until later that they seem to connect in an interesting way to the Renaissance landscape/scenery work of Albrecht Altdorfer and Hieronymus Bosch with their broad scope and rich supply of people rendered small compared to the larger scene. Only there's not an epic war going on and the delights of this garden are much less grotesque ( by comparison ).
A 21st century take on the Renaissance "market square" or country village? ... Perhaps.

Music Link: "New York City", Miroslav Vitous. Probably Vitous' defining piece, "New York City" is this jazz great's interpretation of upbeat side of Manhattan. The piece is interestingly considered to border on the more electronic music of the 90's with it's constant pulse and clever studio effects on the incidental vocals. For some of the 90's electronica artists, "New York City" was noted as a prime influence on their musical development.

A blend of digital colouring and enhancement along with touches of sepia toning were used in this one to give a sense of the timelessness of Times Square, of the great span of its years in history. From the old New York of the Rockefellers, the Carnegies and the Mellons to Apple, iPhones and Instagram Times Square is probably one of the greatest indicators of the human pulse over the decades since it's initial construction.
Time, space and singularity of perception are broken up, or, made simultaneous with several others. As we approach the Quantum Age, non-singularity of view, simultaneity and indeed, non-locality will increasingly become our ways of seeing.
I took my inspiration for the colouring of this image from the work of Paul B0udreau, whose unique art always boggles my mind.

Music Link: "Stratus", Billy Cobham. From his album "Spectrum". This is a live, tour de force piece of Jazz wizardry performed by Cobham and his band, featuring some strangely appropriate, brilliant steel drum playing by his percussionist. "Stratus" always felt to me like music for a BIG city.

Music Link: "The Grid" - Philip Glass, from his score for the Godfrey Reggio film "Koyaanisqatsi". This is a very well done edit of the much longer piece which lasts almost 24 minutes. Here it is a mere 6:40, but more than enough to get the point across with hair-raising and mind blowing immediacy.
The word "koyaanisqatsi" is a Hopi word for "life out of balance". Reggio's 1983 film was the first of it's kind and a quantum leap in film making. The director started out with the very original idea to craft a film around real life footage from around the world, focusing first on the quiet solemnity and unhurried elegance of nature and then contrasting it very sharply indeed with the mad rush of human activity, perception and behaviour. The concept was to show just how literally insane the materialistic, consuming and destroying culture of the West is and that it is dangerously out of balance with the natural world.
Reggio believed modernized "First" world culture to be sick, as in not well, deep into its core for it's lost connection to the natural rhythms of nature. As its ever demanding maw grows and grows, it eats away at the planet like a cancer. He used the Hopi prophecies about this time as a way to guide the footage, which has no actors, no narration, no plots or story. Real life footage was carefully shot over years and assembled and synched to the music of Philip Glass, whose work Reggio chose for it's enormous power to reflect the themes he wanted to so viscerally display. The finished film footage and the music now are inseparable halves of a complete whole.
While a few other directors have taken on Reggio's very original and groundbreaking style and commercial TV has naturally copped his technique, the original "Koyaanisqatsi" still stands as the greatest film of its kind. Not so shocking and breathtaking now as it was back in 1983, the film still hits hard with dizzying accuracy. Yet at the heart of it all, Reggio's is not the voice of condemnation. He looks upon human beings as being caught in the snares of their own creation and feels compassion for them. A lesser mind would have moralized. Reggio does not.
I chose this piece as a natural accompaniment to Times Square imagery and because a lot of this segment IS shot in New York and indeed in Times Square. I think it musically reflects the unbelievable rush and chaos of the location, and the wider modern world, beautifully. This very hard to find video is the actual footage of the film to the accompaniment of its intended soundtrack.

Sourcing or "touch stoning" various 20th Century art movements such as Cubism, Futurism and Constructivism without subscribing entirely to any of them specifically. The common thread, perhaps, is a shared sensibility that 'reality' is not wholly approachable from any SINGLE point of view, that what we perceive is cobbled together by an "interpreting" brain working to make a sense-able world for us to navigate.

Music Link: "Sex Goddess" - Jon Hassell and Bluescreen, from their album "Dressing For Pleasure". Speaking of multi-dimensionality and simultaneity of apparently disparate elements, trumpeter / avant garde artist Jon Hassell has made an incredible career out of taking several world music traditions and blending them with the technology of our industrialized world. "Fourth World" he calls it. What you end up with is something constructed from various elements that combine in Hassell's unique sonic alchemy to produce something quite beyond the sum of all his elements.
The choice of "Sex Goddess" as the musical link to this piece is a deliberate and ironic choice. I see mannequins as dubious approximations of human beings. They're especially regrettable for their role in literally and figuratively objectifying women with their physical being but also in being "decoys" for the drawing in of consumer "prey", most of whom in the fashion sense, of course, are women. So "Sex Goddess" is used here with tongue pushed firmly into cheek.
Here Hassell teams with Techno-Jazz-Funksters "Bluescreen" to blend his Fourth world creations with cutting edge digital jazz/funk. A heady mix.

I am glad that this came out because the 1938 was shot through the train window during a platform stop with maybe a minute to get the camera out and take all the readings.
I remember the triangle pointing at the ball of the tv tower being on my left so I thought maybe I scanned the negative the wrong way round but the the 1938 would be flipped and it isn’t. Wierd.

Constructivism is an early twentieth-century art which rejected decorative stylization in favor of the industrial assemblage of materials. Founded in 1915 by Vladimir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko. Abstract and austere, constructivist art aimed to reflect modern industrial society and urban space.[1]
