16-09-09 - Le Gwo Ka (ou gros tambour) est une expression musicale, d’origine africaine, qui a vu le jour dans les souffrances de l’esclavage. Son nom est donné à la danse et à l'instrument qui l'accompagne.
Le Gwo Ka est un tambour à membrane en peau de chèvre dont le corps est constitué par un de ces barils dans lesquels on acheminait les viandes salées vers les Antilles.
C'est une expression musicale, d’origine africaine, qui a vu le jour à l'époque de l’esclavage.
C'est un instrument de percussion qui se joue avec les mains, on l'utilise dans la musique traditionnelle guadeloupéenne. Il y a 7 rythmes basiques de gwoka: Kaladja, Menndé, Léwoz, Padjanbèl, Woulé, Graj, Toumblak.
Le gwo ka se caractérise par le fait que c'est le musicien (le marqueur) qui suit le danseur.
Le "boula" est le tambour rytmique d’accompagnement du gwo ka d'une sonorité plus grave que le tambour soliste ka. Le boula est fabriqué avec la peau d'un cabri mâle. Il joue le rythme central. Le plus petit : le markeur ou "maké" marque la mélodie.

Postcard.
Whereabouts unknown.
Handwritten description back: Gamelan instrumenten.
"A gamelan is a musical ensemble from Indonesia, typically from the islands of Bali or Java, featuring a variety of instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, kendang (drums) and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings. Vocalists may also be included. [Wikipedia (unknown date). Gamelan.]
Don't look at me but the Mongolia traditional musical string instrument. It's like the Chinese Erhu but bigger in size at the bottom part.
The Postcard
A postcard bearing no studio name that was posted in Forest Hill, London S.E. The photograph is high-definition.
Forest Hill is a leafy residential area near its namesake railway station. Set in landscaped gardens with a weekly farmers’ market and outdoor summer concerts, the family-friendly Horniman Museum has an aquarium, a beloved stuffed walrus, and a musical instrument collection. At the edge of the neighbourhood, Blythe Hill Fields park has sweeping views of the city skyline.
The house number is 51; if anyone recognises exactly where is is, please leave a note.
The card was posted on Friday the the 20th. October 1911 to:
Mother Ursula,
Ursuline Convent,
Westgate-on-Sea,
Kent.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mother Ursula,
Please accept all kind
thoughts and best wishes
for a very happy feast.
Yours sincerely,
S. & J. Gibbons & little ones".
The writer would have been referring to the Feast of St. Ursula which takes place every year on the 21st. October.
Ursuline Convent
Ursuline College (formerly Ursuline Convent School) is a Catholic secondary school located in Westgate-on-Sea, in north-east Kent. Aimed at pupils aged 11 to 19, the college is based within the Ursuline and Catholic ethos, aiding and teaching its pupils within this regime.
The school in Westgate-on-Sea was established in 1904 when a group of Ursuline Sisters fled Boulogne-sur-Mer with a number of their pupils. Although their school in Boulogne-sur-Mer had existed since 1624, laws passed in France had made it impossible for the Sisters to continue their work of Christian education in France.
Initially the school was set up as a boarding school for girls, meeting the needs of parents working in the Colonies or serving in the Forces.
The Actor Bill Shine
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 20th. October 1911 marked the birth of Bill Shine.

The Death of Bill Shine

What does it take to create self-aware robotic instruments out of a piece of paper? A workshop was only the start of a new type of avant-garde robotic origami music performances.
Oribotics, a combination of origami and robotics, offers fascinating possibilities – from tiny biomedical devices to the giant James Webb Space Telescope. Together with a team of researchers, key researcher and artist Matthew Gardiner has been developing Oribotics since 2010 at the Ars Electronica Futurelab. With oribotic instruments, the team found a playful way to give robotic origami a musical expression: In a workshop, participants were able to create the paper-based instruments themselves. The potential of the avant-garde instruments was showcased during the festivities for the Ars Electronica Futurelab’s 25th anniversary.

Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones, using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. Though the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe and Irish uilleann pipes have the greatest international visibility, bagpipes have been played for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, the Caucasus, around the Persian Gulf and in Northern Africa. The term "bagpipe" is equally correct in the singular or plural, although in the English language, pipers most commonly talk of "the pipes", "a set of pipes", or "a stand of pipes".
Though the origins of the Irish kilt continue to be a subject of debate, current evidence suggests that kilts originated in the Scottish Highlands and Isles and were adopted by Irish nationalists at the turn of the 20th century as a symbol of Celtic identity.
Solid coloured kilts were first adopted for use by Irish nationalists and thereafter by Irish regiments serving in the British Army, but they could often be seen in late 19th and early 20th century photos in Ireland especially at political and musical gatherings, as the kilt was re-adopted as a symbol of Gaelic nationalism in Ireland during this period.
Within the world of Irish dancing, boy's kilts have been largely abandoned, especially since the worldwide popularity of Riverdance and the revival and interest in Irish dancing generally.
On the left wall of my room, I have my instruments lined up. My trombone is an Olds Super from 1969, in excellent condition. My trumpet is a Yamaha YTR-6335s, which in my opinion is one of the most underrated versatile trumpets you can buy. My guitar is an Ibanez artcore ES335 copy, and my bass is an american standard J-Bass (soon to be upgraded to a white American Deluxe J-Bass V). My guitar amp (home and on the road,) is a 40W all tube Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (sounds small, but is suuuuper loud, and can handle almost any venue size.), and my practice bass amp for home is a fender rumble 100 that I got a great deal on at a local music store.
