Things of beauty.

 

I often forget the small things that inspire me. One of them is old currency. I have a small collection. These are pre Bolshevik revolution Rubles. The further back you go in time, you can literally see why we call these things "bank notes". They literally used to be these huge notes from a bank saying "yeah, we agree to pay blah blah X amount".

 

The artistry and style that goes into these things is amazing. And even better, you can pick up these little bits of history really quite cheaply from a bunch of places.

Like him, I get pissed-off when I get 200+ views on a picture in a couple of hours, with nary a comment, or someone who faves a string of similar pictures (not flowers or landscapes) without commenting.

(Translation on the blog entry)

This is the final image in this series, and we end on a real low note: Bridgegate House (the building which North Ayrshire Council and Irvine Bay Regeneration Company are spending almost £9m on at the moment, with the sole object of making it even more ugly). If you look at the top left of the photo collage, you can see the architects' drawing of the view of the West side of the High Street. Now you don't need to be a design genius to see that, for the heart of a Scottish Medieval Burgh, there is something far wrong with this design: if you look at the older buildings on either side of BH, you will see they have all developed from pretty narrow plots (this is because the buildings are built on old field patterns, a system called 'riggs', unique to Scotland; these narrow fields were designed to ensure that good and bad soil were divided evenly between farmers). The result of this field division system is that old Scottish towns have a very distinctive 'rhythm' - the buildings may vary in height, but their width does not vary very dramatically (in the case of the King's Arms, this is obviously built across 2 riggs). The idea of 'street rhythm' is set out in the Academy of Imagineering's guide to looking at historic areas, 'Streetsight'; you can download this booklet for free by using the link given at the end of this article.

 

The High Street side of Bridgegate House is built over three double-rigg plots. The result of this is that the High Street has lost its former rhythm and it looks like someone has 'knocked out three front teeth '. If you look at the photo of the model (bottom right), you get some idea of how far BH is out of scale with the buildings on the South side of Bridgegate. In ai's Streetsight booklet this would be described as an 'overpowering contrast'; which is OK if the building is magnificent, like a fine cathedral, impressive town hall or wonderful theatre. However, nobody in their right mind would use the words 'fine', 'impressive' or 'wonderful' to describe Bridgegate House!

 

So we have seen, over the last seven weeks, how badly IDC got some things wrong (in the coming months, we will give due attention to what they got right, mainly from the period 1977-96, including some innovative and popular housing developments). It is a pity, with their current proposals for the town, that neither NAC nor Irvine Bay Regeneration Company appear to have learned anything from the mistakes of IDC's 1971 New Town Plan.

I put this shot together for my wife's guitar she had custom made by Chris Williams. 85mm lens at f1.8 with a hand cut music note stencil placed over it to create shaped bokeh with Christmas lights background. Guitar was painted with a flashlight for 5 seconds during an intentional overexposed 25sec for added background color.

The leaf veins have taken on a more stylized look. It was interesting to connect the pathways and fill some negative spaces with snippets of fabric, paper and photos. There is a map effect which I like here but not sure if I will use in my final stitch project. It is not free enough for me.

After graduating I've been number each of my note/sketch books. I'm on the ninth book and because it's my favorite number I made it special.

Straight and to the point.

Blue Note Hawaii - Kaumakaiwa Kanaka'ole - 2-27-17 #RYS

I discovered these mock bank notes in a random shop and loved them. They are quite detailed (with more pictures on the back) and there is one for every Tudor monarch, the six wives and Prince Arthur. I love how they say very blatantly – ‘this note is not legal tender’. As if someone needed to be alerted to that...

 

Clarinetto: Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera StoriaLo strumento più antico che adotta il principio dell'ancia semplice è il memet egiziano, costituito da una coppia di canne e conosciuto dal 2700 a.C. Esistono vari tipi di strumenti che adottano questo principio tra cui le launeddas sarde, conosciute dal 900 a.C. Sullo stesso principio si basa lo chalumeau, il predecessore del clarinetto, costituito da un tubo cilindrico di canna alla cui parte superiore c'era un'incisione fatta per ricavare l'ancia.

 

Lo chalumeau fu soggetto ad innovazione attorno al 1690 da parte di Joahnn Christian Denner, un artigiano di Norimberga. Lo strumento di Denner aveva sei fori anteriori e uno posteriore e due chiavi chiuse, una posta sopra i fori anteriori e l'altra su quello posteriore, che chiudevano altri due fori. Successivamente Denner e i suoi figli hanno spostato il foro della chiave posteriore e lo hanno rimpicciolito per poterlo utilizzare sia come chiave del Sib, sia come foro portavoce, aprendo quindi le porte del registro superiore o "registro di clarino".

 

Il termine clarinetto appare per la prima volta nel 1732 nel "Musicalishes Lexicon" di Johan Gottfried Walther in cui è scritto: "Sentito a distanza, esso suona piuttosto come una tromba". Ciò spiega il nome clarinetto derivato da clarino, termine oggigiorno utilizzato impropriamente, che indica uno strumento appartenente alla famiglia delle trombe. Il clarinetto ebbe un suono penetrante probabilmente fino al principio del 1800; si ritiene così perché i metodi per imparare a suonare il clarinetto pubblicati dal 1850 sottolineano il suono "ora più pieno, dolce e piacevole" dei clarinetti precedenti.

 

Lo sviluppo del clarinetto continua nel 1740 quando Jacob Denner (figlio di Joahnn Christian) aggiunse al clarinetto una lunga chiave aperta per realizzare il Si3 (prima impossibile), riempiendo questo "buco nell'estensione dello strumento e portandolo all'estensione attuale. Nei decenni successivi diversi artigiani hanno fatto tentativi per migliorare lo strumento, senza ottenere risultati rilevanti. Un passo importante è stato fatto da Ivan Müller, un musicista parigino nato in Russia. Müller costruì un clarinetto dalle caratteristiche rivoluzionarie. Il suo strumento aveva tredici chiavi con un nuovo tipo di cuscinetti e con i fori cigliati. Quello di Müller è stato il primo clarinetto a poter suonare in tutte le tonalità. Nel 1812 fu esaminato dagli specialisti del conservatorio di Parigi e, nonostante le sue notevoli potenzialità, fu rifiutato. Nonostante ciò il clarinetto di Müller ha posto le basi al clarinetto tedesco.

 

Successive modifiche al clarinetto sono state apportate da Hyacinthe Eléonore Klosé, il produttore del clarinetto "sistema Boehm". Klosé ha basato il suo lavoro su quello fatto da Theobald Boehm che introdusse sul flauto le chiavi ad anello. Klosé adottò gli anelli sul clarinetto, adottò i fori cigliati di Müller e aggiunse nuove chiavi per un totale di diciassette. Questo strumento era facile da gestire e dava la possibilità di suonare in tutte le tonalità. Fu Klosé stesso ad esibirlo per la prima volta a Parigi nel 1839. Oggi è il tipo di clarinetto più diffuso.

 

Al clarinetto di Müller gli anelli sono stati applicati da Carl Bärmann. Poi Oskar Oehler modificò la posizione delle chiavi adattandole alle caratteristiche delle mani e migliorando quelle acustiche. Questo è il clarinetto attualmente utilizzato in Germania e, con piccole differenze, in Austria.

 

Il clarinetto è tuttora sottoposto a miglioramenti tecnici. Si cerca di ottenere caratteristiche acustiche sempre migliori e maggiore maneggevolezza da parte degli esecutori. Tra i contemporanei che più di altri si sono cimentati nel migliorare lo strumento sono da ricordare il clarinettista Rosario Mazzeo e lo svizzero Renè Hagmann.
