2022 Year In Review
This year once again I invited some friends and colleagues to reflect on 2022
JG Thirlwell
Composer Foetus Xordox Manorexia Steroid Maximus Venture Bros Archer www.foetus.org
2022 was a marathon year. I took on too much work, but somehow got through it. It challenged me. I played some excellent shows in Woodstock, Los Angeles, Orlando and NYC. Reconnected with Soft Cell at the Beacon. Reconnected with Sarah Lipstate. Wrote a ton of new music for Archer and a Venture Bros movie. Taught a class on film scoring at the New School. I still woke up 5am in a panic on too many occasions. And I saw some great concerts.It was difficult to whittle down this list but here are a lot of albums I enjoyed in 2022, in no particular order.

LISTENING
My favourite album of the year was the dayglo psychedelic joy of Panda Bear/ Sonic Boom’s Reset , with honourable mentions for the amazing Aethiopes by billy woods and Alison Cotton’s beautiful The Portrait You Painted of Me. Also, must mention the massive , varied and crucial Rental Yields compilations on Front and Follow /Gated Canal Community in aid of homeless charities in the UK.
GIGS
Didn’t get out much this year but live events I loved this year here in Brighton, UK included the blasted joy of deafkids at The Hope, the final gig of the mighty Slum of Legs at The Green Door Store, and playing alongside Alexander Tucker’s Microcorps and Opal X at The Wire’s 40th anniversary shows at The Rosehill as part of the reanimated Outer Church.
In terms of radio, as well as Elizabeth Alker’s essential breakfast and Unclassified shows on Radio 3 there were loads of great shows on the fantastic Repeater Radio ( many previously on the mighty Neon Hospice) including Afternoon Delight by Ix Tab and the best of Eastern Europe showcased on Slav to the Rhythm by Catherine and Iris.
READING
Apart from the works of nonconformist Cornish poet Jack Clemo and American novelist Pete Dexter ( Deadwood and Paris, Trout ), new discoveries were thin on the ground this year. I read and reread a lot of old favourites ( Ray Bradbury, Cormac McCarthy, Pat Barker , Elmore Leonard ) and finally fell in love with Jane Austen.
WATCHING
My film and TV viewing in 2022 was largely informed / enforced by my 5 year old daughter, and the essential texts we rewatched repeatedly were the lively and proactive Gaby’s Dollhouse, multi-species global explorers the Octonauts , surreal UK gem Sarah and Duck and of course, the inspirational Aussie masterpiece Bluey. I did manage to catch a few films either new or new to me in 2022…
Wake in Fright ( 1971) : another Australian key text ( although less adorable than Bluey ). The horrors of closed environments, toxic masculinity and continuous drinking.
Enys Men (2022) : Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s spooky and minimalistic follow-up to his incredible Bait (2019) , a wonderful drama of local economic realities and identities. Would love to score one of his films but unfortunately he does an excellent job of this himself.
Stalker (1979) : As good as everyone said it would be.
EATING
Chorizo with honey Chinese black fungus
DRINKING
Everything by Burning Sky brewery ( Sussex, UK)
CREATING
I managed to churn out two tape releases in 2022 in between all the watching, listening, eating, drinking etc.
Estrenyon was released on tape and download with the Barcelona label zonawatusa and was inspired by historical UFO sightings throughout Cornwall from 1888 to 2021. Rife is the story of a Sussex Spring day and was released via Woodford Halse, who have released loads of great electronic and folky music by the likes of Xylitol and Sairie. On top of that , our first volume of download-only pay-what-you-like winter tunes Montol Melodies is available on our bandcamp until the traditional English old ‘ twelfth night ‘ ( January 12 2023).

2022 LIST
I’m terrible at lists like this, and usually don’t keep track towards such a year-end summary. Pardon the self-focus, this is my year-in-review accounting, mostly just remembering to myself.
August in Vienna Leah and I spent the month of August in Vienna, creating a public artwork, sound+image, called Fermata. I discovered the world of small-body, near century-old, German + Austrian guitars. I wrote the main melodic material one one of these tiny, wonderful instruments,. At one point we had 3 of them in the apartment down in the MuseumQuartier. A whole new world of sound to explore. Side trips to Berlin and Prague. (https://tonspur.at/soundworks/lee-ranaldo-leah-singer/?lang=en) Exhibitions in Berlin and Eupen, Chile Media Arts Biennial, Covid Flowers online Exhibitions of my Black Noise record print editions in Berlin, Lost Highway road drawings in Belgium, and watercolor covid-flowers online. In Chile Leah and I created an outdoor sound/art work, Do You Read Me?, in a field of trees surrounding an observatory above Santiago. Sounds were generated from signals collected from deep space by another observatory in the Atacama desert. A sound displacement work.
Medicine Singers in Brasilia, Montreal, NYC Had fruitful wanderings this year with Yonatan Gat, working with indigineous players from the USA, Brasil and Canada. Recording sessions in Montreal at fabulous Hotel2Tango studio, and in a splendid house set on the edge of the city in Brasilia, one of my favorite places. Happy to have been invited along for this most interesting ride.
Touring resumes Mostly in Europe, mostly quite wonderful. After 2 years at home it felt good to stand up in front of audiences again. Lots of solo acoustic shows playing In Virus Times and singing songs, but also interesting collaborations with Yuri Landman; My Cat Is An Alien, Jean-Marc Montera and Sophie Gonthier, and a special ‘Velvets Suite’ with French legend Pascal Comelade in Banyoles, Spain. Also the beginnings of a new collaboration with Chicago guitarist Michael Vallera, in a great new space in NYC for experimental music, 411 Kent (aka Shift). Leah and I premiered the new version of our Contre Jour performance with suspended guitar and films, in A Coruna, Spain and at the Three-Lobed Fest in Durham, North Carolina – which was an amazing three days of music. Also a short NorthEast tour with Jeff Parker in May.
London/Paris/Leah/ Catpower My touring year ended with a month split between Europe and the UK. A friend-lent apartment in Paris as base, with shows and lectures in Nantes, and Brittany. Five shows in the UK, the most I’ve played in some time there, including a free-ranging set with the Pop Group’s Mark Stewart and an eclectic band. Wild night! Leah flew over to celebrate her birthday, with CatPower at Royal Albert Hall (first time there for us both) recreating Bob Dylan’s legendary show there – both acoustic and electric sets – from 1966. What a great night, and our time together, in London, Paris and Brittany, was splendid.
Hurricane Transcriptions This year I played solo keyboard shows for the first time ever – the solo-for-Fender-Rhodes performance of my Hurricane Sandy Transcriptions, first at Karma Gallery in NYC, accompanied by films from LA Artist Mungo Thomson, and also at a Xenakis celebration in Vienna and at the opening of my exhibition of Lost Highway drawings, ‘The Road Is Like The River, Constantly Changing Yet Ever The Same’ – at IKOB Museum in Eupen, Belgium. (ikob.be)
Circuit des Yeux at Green-Wood Cemetery I think my favorite gig of the year was Circuit des Yeux in Green-Wood Cemetery on a rainy night in June. The weather threatened the show all evening, which made this incredible performance – just Haley and Whitney Johnson (Matchess). Just a magical, powerful night.
Godard’s King Lear In late August I committed to introduce Jean-Luc Godard’s King Lear, which I’d never seen, at TriBeCa’s Roxy Cinema, which has been doing terrific programs organized by Illyse Singer. I love Godard’s films, they are an important touchstone for me, and I took this as an opportunity to discover both the film and Shakespeare’s play; my Shakespeare knowledge is terrible, so I boned up on the play. Four days before the screening, the great master died, which cast the whole night in a new light. The film has been described by Richard Brody of the NY’er as ‘one of the best films of all time’ – wow. Burgess Meredith, Molly Ringwald, Norman Mailer, Julie Delpy, Leos Carax, and Godard himself center-stage and the plugged/unplugged oracle Professor Pluggy. What a film. As usual with a Godard film: what a sound mix!. See it in 35mm.
Broken Circle / Spiral Hill I have had a long fascination with the work of Robert Smithson, since discovering the book of his writings in the 70s. In the early 80s on the first few SY tours, I ‘coaxed’ the band into visiting one of his 3 still existing artworks – Broken Circle/Spiral Hill – in the countryside of northern Holland. Back then it was like a treasure hunt trying to find it, in the dark, late on the way to Club Vera in Groningen. In 2020 I visited it for a third time w friend Carlos, in the week before the world shut down. It had been totally restored and ready for it’s moment – just at it’s 50-year mark. In 2022 the site-an old, long-unused quarry – was opened to the public for the first time in ages, across 8 weekends. This year I narrated a podcast for the Holt/Smithson Foundation and the Netherland’s Land Art Contemporary, about Smithson and the work, which went live in November. (brokencircle.nl)
Birdsong Project I worked on this project, as both producer and performer, to raise money to benefit the Audobon Society for the preservation of avian habitats. Over 200 musicians contributed to this 20-LP set, as well as writers, poets and artists. Uplifting and surprising. (https://www.audubon.org/birdsong-project)
James Jackson Toth In the early 2000s I produced an album – James and the Quiet – with Mr. Wooden Wand, who’s music I love. This year a group of friends organized a birthday tribute to James, with 33 of us recording versions of songs from his vast catalog. I recorded ‘Wired to the Sky’, a favorite from the album we made together, recorded in our Viennese apartment in August, which closes this Birthday Blues collection. (https://aquariumdrunkard.com/category/jamesjackson-toth/)
Some Music/Art/Books etc:
Lou Reed – Words + Music, 1971 RCA Demos David Bowie – Divine Symmetry Catherine Christer Hennix – Selected Early Keyboard Works (https://blankformseditions.bandcamp.com/album/selected-early-keyboard-works) Plus Instruments, Februari-April ’81 (first record I was ever on) on Domani Records, NYC. In/Out/In, Sonic Youth. So cool to see this release welcomed so warmly! Cecilia Vicuña, Tate Modern Turbine Hall Venus of Willendorf, Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna Matisse: The Red Studio, Museum of Modern Art, NYC Claude Monet – Joan Mitchell, Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris Marco Fusinato, Desastres, Venice Biennale Family Affair, a 20-minute short film included in the Criterion Collection edition of Josh & Benny Safdie’s 2009 Daddy Longlegs, outlining our two families intertwined involvement in the making of the film. The most glorious home movie ever. The Double Life of Bob Dylan: A Restless, Hungry Feeling, Clinton Heylin. First of a 2-part bio of the (other) Bard, making first use of all the new material out from Tulsa’s Bob Dylan Center archive. Loved: Olivier Assayas’ Irma Vep mini series. He’d used SY’s ‘Tunic’ in his original 1995 film, and we became friends and occasional collaborators. The new limited series mines the story anew, meta-mixing in his 1995 film and Louis Feuillade’s 1915 original, Les Vampires. The most contemporary piece of ‘television’ I’ve seen in ages, just wonderful, with fantastic cast including a spot-on stand-in portrayal by Vincent Macaigne as the director, Alicia Vikander as Irma Vep, and Lars Eidinger as Gottfried. Also Devon Ross, Carrie Brownstein, many other great performances. Loved it. Still watching: Westworld, Handmaid’s Tale. Hal Willner Memorial, St. Anne’s, April. Miss Hal all the time…

Brian Chase
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Brian chose to write about one album that impacted him in 2022
This write-up is in no way meant to be a formal review - I don’t deem myself qualified for that task here - rather, this is meant to share personal enthusiasm and bring an album to light - like, "Have you heard this, it's really really amazing and inspiring and why isn't there more talking about it, and…" As a musician working within a greater community, I am acutely aware of the creative drive to continually uncover new modes, methodologies, practices etc. of expressing our chosen art form - each performance and each album serving as an instance of discovery and offering new perspectives on old conundrums. Whether the genre is rock, jazz, noise, free-improvisation, modern classical etc. the relationship of discourse and dialogue is still the same. At the forefront of this dialogue is John Zorn, as he has been for decades, and a major contribution to the conversation is the 2022 album Incerto - Existentialism, Psychoanalysis, and the Uncertainty Principle. Here, Zorn is the composer and the performing ensemble consists of some of Zorn's tightest in recent years: Brian Marsella on piano, Julian Lage on guitar, Jorge Roeder on bass and Ches Smith on drums. As Zorn says in the liner notes, "Incerto is about possibilities, probabilities, inevitabilities and improbabilities." Formal logic for musical structure is considerably expanded with these compositions and never before have I heard such new forms for improvisation. In these pieces, unexpected juxtapositions and superimpositions abound, as foremost examples of its many distinct features. The syntax of this music is beyond the scope of any previous way that I've conceived of music existing. Not only are harmonic and rhythmic conventions regularly reconstructed - often replaced with adjacent compliments and aggressive contradictions - but entire paradigms of improvisatory behavior are game as well. Shifts in genre/mood/tempo/texture/harmonic character/melodic personality place the improvisor in varying contexts - often in a short amount of time - and each context requires its own set of responses. The whole scope of musical history+trends+possibilities takes on a dynamic relational co-existence, in ways that I've never previously heard or thought possible - like when angular atonal lead lines enter on top of a serene ostinato, or impressionistic chords alternate between stillness and motion, or genre styles and idiomatic references collide, or gravelly density and noise build tension culminating into a placid release. Plus, so much of the composed material is really just so cool. Paramount to it all is the music’s immense depth of feeling. The moods on this album are evocative, romantic and ecstatic as much as they are revolutionary, kaleidoscopic and mystifying. As the music winds through its structural twists and turns, the key that holds it all together is sincerity of spirit - the performance of this music, as well as listening to it, is a literal experience. And within each singular track is the remarkable performance of the individual musicians themselves - each a respective master at the craft. Additionally, the album as a collective whole, being comprised of eleven very different tracks, functions as a macro-structure in itself which expands on the themes present in each individual track. So many new modes of music making are presented here - integrating them into current music making will take a while as more people discover its brilliance and begin to absorb the concepts and ideas it conveys. It is uniquely Zorn and there for us musicians to process and in turn produce that which is uniquely ours. Incerto is a gem in the conversation - we can listen and run with it how we like - but we have to hear it first.

Lawrence English
(Room 40 Records)
This year was the first time I had travelled internationally since 2019. The thing I realised I've truly missed is seeing people. The opportunity to share ideas, to be curious with others and to just be in the world was, well, magical. I think if anything the past few years has reminded me (us?) not to take things for granted…especially each other. This year was also the first time I returned to making solo electronic works. It had been about six years since I had completed Cruel Optimism and, if I am honest, I wasn’t sure if I still had an appetite for making solo electronic works. Approach however proved, to me at least, I can still derive great pleasure from working alone. Unexpectedly, I found the whole process of the album very satisfying, like it was new all over again, not something I always feel.
There’s been a tonne of great input into the system this year. Ergo Proxy totally got me thinking. I was late to the party, but it was a party I am glad I did make it to. Puce Mary made some tapes back in April, both of them were totally ace, filled with an acute sense of heaviness. I very much enjoyed Boy Harsher’s work this year too, outside my usual orbit in some ways, but they are really onto something of late. I caught up with my old and dear friend Kate Crawford, and had a chance to read over he excellent Atlas Of AI book, she is a tower of radiance. Annea Lockwood’s, work occupied a great deal of my thoughts this year, realising her Piano Transplants all at once was quite simply a delight. Adam Curtis’s TraumaZone left an indelible mark in more ways than one. I returned to Vancouver to photograph the crows that started off my homage to Masahisa Fukase, perhaps that tract of work is done? Oh and thanks to a dinner with Atsuo from Boris, and the encouragement of my small humans, we all started down the pathway of the epic saga of Gundam too. I missed that when I was younger, so it’s a long road to catch up on….but I started.
Oh and on a purely personal note I was able to commission a shikishi from Yoshihisa Tagami. Seriously, my 12 year old self was reborn when it arrived. The world is so much bigger, and smaller, than that little human could ever have imagined!
Love to you all and here’s hoping 2023 is full of curious surprises and wonder.

"FORCED TO KILL SLAYER," Kingston Whig-Standard. May 19, 1933. Page 15. ---- Loretta Schmitz, daughter of Johi Schmitz, Elgin farmer, who was shot to death by his crazed hired man, Oliver Day. After killing Schmitz, Day thrust the gun into the girl's hands demanding that she kill him, and threatened that if she did not do as he asked he would kill her, her mother and little brother. Frightened half out of her wits, the girl took the gun and killed him.

CCC Reflections 5
CCC 456-460 lays out four reasons the word was made flesh (Jesus Christ). The personal nature of this is what Fr. Schmitz emphasized. Each reason also provides the mission statement for Jesus and how we might know him, four pillars of relating to God if you will. 
CCC 488 specifies that Mary consented to the divine plan for salvation springing from her pregnancy. God specifically wanted to achieve the salvific mission through human consent.
Just let that and its incredible implications across multiple dimensions of human life and self-image sink in. It is the feminist edge as well as the divine olive branch of the Christian story.

Landrat Ingo Brohl zu Besuch in der  Bönninghardt-Schule in Alpen
Tumblr media
Im Fokus der Bönninghardt-Schule in Alpen stehen die über 180 Schülerinnen und Schüler. Diese werden in kleinen Klassen nach einem ganzheitlichen Unterrichts- und Förderkonzept während ihrer Schulzeit begleitet. 56 Lehrkräfte für Sonderpädagogik und Fachlehrer für Förderschulen gehen dabei gemeinsam mit 28 Integrationshelferinnen und -helfern sowie Pflegekräften auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder ein.  Bei seinem Besuch am Montag, 20. März 2023, sprach Landrat Ingo Brohl mit Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der Schule.  „Die Schulträgerschaft von sieben Förderschulen ist für den Kreis Wesel eine sehr wichtige Aufgabe. Hierbei geht es auch darum, den Schulen dabei zu helfen, sich bestmöglich an sich ändernde Anforderungen anzupassen. Der direkte Austausch mit den Förderschulen und ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern ist mir sehr wichtig und tatsächlich eine echte Herzensangelegenheit“, so Landrat Ingo Brohl bei seinem Besuch.  Schulleiterin Kerstin Stache informierte den Landrat über die aktuellen Themen der Bönninghardt-Schule und stellte einige Projekte der Schülerinnen und Schüler vor.  „Wir arbeiten in der Bönninghardt-Schule gemäß unserem neuen Schulmotto: Lernen. Leben. Lachen. Unsere Schule ist vor allem Lern- und Lebensraum für alle Schülerinnen und Schüler. Wir haben viele tolle Lernangebote und Arbeitsgemeinschaften, die die individuellen Kompetenzen der Schülerinnen und Schüler fördern“, so die Schulleiterin. Ihr Stellvertreter Dr. Oliver Paul Schmitz fügt hinzu: „Es gibt Schülerfirmen, die z.B. Waffeln backen und verkaufen, eine Schülerzeitung, eine Schulband und vielfältige Sportprojekte. Dadurch können unsere Schülerinnen und Schüler Erfolgserlebnisse sammeln und mit ihren persönlichen Fähigkeiten und Talenten glänzen.“  Die Kinder und Jugendlichen, die auf die Bönninghardt-Schule gehen, haben einen Förderbedarf im Bereich der geistigen Entwicklung. Unter ihnen befinden sich auch einige, die eine zusätzlich intensivpädagogische Unterstützung hinsichtlich ihrer Seh-, Hör- und motorischen Einschränkungen sowie herausfordernder Verhaltensweisen erhalten.e Schülerinnen und Schüler besuchen die Förderschule in Alpen meist für 13 Jahre. Dabei erfüllen sie auch ihre Berufsschulpflicht an der Bönninghardt-Schule und werden durch die Lehrkräfte beim Übergang Schule-Beruf eng begleitet.  Foto: v.l.

ELEVEN - KÜNZLE
A/N: Künzle meets Sophie! How do you think she will react? Also, the painting mentioned is "The Little Morning" (1808) by Philipp Otto Runge.
Warnings: sensitive themes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl holding my hand is quite attractive, with high cheekbones, golden hair in wavy curls just below her chin, rosy red cheeks, and eyes that are almost a dull olive green in color. I like her. I quite enjoy her company.
I let her drag me towards the home of this Sophie woman, and I pray that she is nice or at least understands what I'm doing. That's all I can do.
She stops at a house made of bricks that is nestled up against a bakery, which appears to still be operating.  She knocks on the door and a shorter, brunette woman with a broad face and chest answers it. "Good!" she exclaims. "You are back." She notices me standing behind the girl, and her face twists into a scowl. "Who is he?"
The girl replies, "He is a friend. Don't worry, he won't hurt anybody."
The shrewd-looking little bitch glares at me. "Who are you?"
I try not to flinch at her tone. "Werner Künzle. Heil Hitler, Frau...uh..."
"Schmitz," she finishes. "But you may call me Sophie." 
The girl giggles next to me, and Sophie asks her, "Who is this man? I cannot have a member of the Gestapo in my house."
"He is not in the Gestapo, Sophie," the girl answers. "He is one of the good people. He hides Jews."
Sophie looks me up and down before pointing at my left arm. "That doesn't explain the swastika."
The girl leans in and whispers, "It's a disguise." I nod.
Sophie says nothing and ushers us both inside. The girl takes off her shoes  and I begin to do the same, but Sophie tells me, "Leave them on. I will clean up after." She and the girl leave the foyer, and I am alone.
I look around. In front of me is a table made from glossy wood upon which sits a vase of flowers. Above that, on the wall, rests a decent-sized painting, one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
The border contains illustrations of playful cherubs, plants, and clouds against a sunny blue sky. The scene in the middle depicts a small infant, whom I can only assume is the baby Jesus, lying on his back in a field as he is surrounded by angels ascending into the bright morning skies above, playing happily in the clouds. My eyes gradually travel up to the very top of the artwork, admiring the skill and talent that was clearly put into it. Clearly, this is the type of joy that everyone wishes for amidst this awful war.
I follow Sophie and the blonde girl into the kitchen and can hear them arguing. 
"How do you know he is helpful? Look at him!" she yells, gesturing to the foyer, thinking I was still there.
"He told me!" the girl counters.
"For all I know, I wouldn't trust him!"
"What, because of the uniform? Just because he wears that uniform doesn't mean he's bad! I've heard stories of good Nazis!"
"There are very few."
"I know, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. And he's not a Nazi."
"I still don't trust him. Look at him!" The girl notices me and points at me. Sophie turns around.
"Maybe I should...go," I say softly, heading into the living room. I sit on the couch by the window and look outside as I hear their conversation in the other room.
"Sophie, you're scaring Künzle and you hurt his feelings!" the girl cries.
"I cannot trust a man that wears a swastika," Sophie replies. "You have only just met him. We don't know what his intentions are."
"But he's so sweet and very gentle! He told me!" she exclaims. "He said so!"
"He could be lying!" Sophie argues. "I have seen men do that with my own eyes! He could be trying to kill you!"
"But Künzle is telling the truth! He cares about us! He doesn't want to hurt us!"
"I-"
"No! Look at him! Look at how sad he is! Look, Sophie! He's sad! You made him cry!"
I'm not crying, but I feel like I want to. Upon seeing the blonde girl, I give a little smile. "See?" she asks. "He's very nice."
Sophie looks at me for a while and I worry that she won't say anything very friendly, but instead, I begin to see the corners of her lips turn up. I smile back. 
She does seem nice after all.
The girl races upstairs, and I turn back to look at Sophie. She looks confused now, one eyebrow quirked. "You save Jews, ja?"
I nod. "I do. She already told you, didn't she?" I say, referring to the girl.
"Sorry, it's just the-" She gestures to my uniform.
I laugh. "It's...fine. Don't worry."
Her smile fades and she quickly looks behind her and realizes that the girl is gone. She turns around and calls, "Magda! You don't want to keep Herr Künzle waiting!"
I hear the sound of rapid footsteps descending the staircase, and almost instantly, the golden-haired girl is there, along with a cherub-faced little boy whom I'd never seen before. Upon seeing me, the cherub hides behind the girl's skirt, and I bend down and whisper, "It's all right, Männchen. I'm not going to hurt you." 
He seems hesitant. I extend my hand to him, smiling, but he only grips the girl's skirt even tighter.
Finally, the girl - Magda, I assume - explains, "He's not that comfortable around Germans. Except Sophie, of course." She giggles, almost childlike. "I think he's afraid of your uniform."
I say nothing. I admire how her face lights up when she speaks. She is a fine young woman, and a very playful one at that. She can't be a day over twenty. She tells the young boy, "Go introduce yourself. He's a guest."
The boy comes out from behind her and waves shyly, mumbling, "I'm Sergei. I'm ten years old."
I squat down to his level and shake his little hand. "It's nice to meet you, Sergei. I'm Werner Künzle."
"Sergei, why don't you show Herr Künzle how well your German is coming along?" Sophie asks. I smile at her before looking back at Sergei.
"Sprichst du Deutsch, Sergei?" I ask. He nods excitedly, an ear-splitting grin taking over his face.
"Ja! Ja!" he exclaims, grabbing the sleeve of my uniform jacket once I stand up, pulling me over to the living room area.
Once we sit on the couch, Sergei proceeds to count from one to ten in perfect German. I clap once he's finished.
"Sehr gut!" I laugh. "Very good!" He gives me a big smile. "Do you know anything else?"
He points to himself. "Ich bin Sergei." He points to me. "Du bist Herr Werner Künzle."
I nod. "Excellent. You are a quick learner."
"Really?" he asks, eyes full of wonder, presumably at the fact that a man in a Nazi uniform is showing him kindness.
"Yes."
He throws himself onto me and gives me a tight hug.

Maler und Lackierer bestehen Prüfungen
Tumblr media
(Foto: pm) Mosbach.  (pm) Am Mittwoch war es so weit: Die Prüfungskommission der Maler-, Lackierer- und Stuckateur-Innung Neckar-Odenwald in Mosbach gratulierte 14 Lehrlingen zur erfolgreich bestanden Prüfung. Die neun Maler hatten die Aufgaben, ein Hotel aus den 70-iger Jahren zu renovieren unter Einsatz von Trockenbau- und Lackierarbeiten, von gestaltenden Elementen sowie der Renovierung einer Balkendecke. Die Lackierer bekamen als praktische Prüfung einen zerbeulten Kotflügel vorgegeben, den sie reparieren und lackieren mussten. Weiter mussten Schriften mit Folie und Lack angebracht werden. Auch im Berufsbildungswerk Mosbach wurden vier weitere Lackierer und Lackiererinnen geprüft. In diesem Zusammenhang muss die sehr gute und kollegiale Zusammenarbeit gerade in der aufwendigen Prüfungsvorbereitung zwischen Prüfungskommission und den Verantwortlichen im Berufsbildungswerk unterstrichen werden. Sehr erfreulich ist die fast 30-prozentige Ausbildungsquote bei den weiblichen Auszubildenden. Man kann sich nur wünschen, dass sich dieser Trend - auch in anderen handwerklichen Berufen - fortsetzt. Allen Prüflingen wünscht die Kreishandwerkerschaft, dass sie sich nach einer Erholungsphase mit frischem Elan in ihr neues Berufsleben stürzen und sich bewusst machen, dass ihnen nun viele Türen offenstehen. Der Arbeitsmarkt für gut qualifizierte Mitarbeiter war noch nie besser. Geprüft wurden: Maler und Lackierer - Pascal Nacarkahja (Baier Raumdesign, Malerbetrieb, Mosbach); - Obaidullah Saeedy (Schnabel GmbH & Co. KG, Mosbach); - Yannick Ebersohl (Christ GmbH, Limbach); - Jasmin Berger (Hack GmbH Hardheim); - Alexander Winkler (Maler- und Gipsergeschäft A. Jost , Mosbach); - Rebecca Greeuw, (Kretz Maler Gipser Gerüst e.K., Mosbach); - Julia Schmitz (Maler Schmitt GmbH, Osterburken); - Kevin Benning (Bohn Stuck und Putz GmbH, Buchen); - Selina Roos, Ralf Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Mosbach; Fahrzeuglackierer - Jessica Jelinek (IB Sinsheim); - Albian Asllani (Karosserie + Lack Herrmann GmbH; Elztal); - Bastian Blum (Karosserie + Lack Herrmann GmbH, Elztal); - Oliver Polland, (bfz gGmbH, Mosbach); - Marvin Wagner, (IB Sinsheim); Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Unter künstlerischer Gesamtleitung des Studios TheGreenEyl werden vier Räume entstehen, die gestalterisch die Brüche, Verzerrungen, Spiegelungen, Wahrnehmungstäuschungen und Perspektivwechsel in Hoffmanns Werk aufgreifen. Ergänzt wird das immersive Ausstellungsdesign durch partizipative Elemente und junge künstlerische Perspektiven.
Das Exploratorium wird je drei Monate im neuen Museum der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, in der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg und im geplanten Deutschen Romantik Museum in Frankfurt am Main

Paris je t’aime - love letter
One of those 'short story' collections with a bunch of directors each taking a stab at a common theme. Usually these types of movies have only a few stories with three or four big name directors at the helm, but this one features 22. Some are better than others, and some of them are absolute gems. Well worth a look. My favorite segments were Joel & Ethan Coen's story featuring Steve Buscemi, and the Elijah Wood segment directed by Vincenzo Natali was quite nice, and the closing segment by Alexander Payne was quite funny and touching.
Caught part of this one on cable, and then found it 'on demand' a little later so I could watch the whole thing.
4 stars out of 5
Released 2006, First viewing December 2008
