In Inferno, Carson has this great line, "Diastrophism is a wee bit outside my bailiwick."

Teyla gives him such a confused look.

地殻変動

ちかくへんどう

① diastrophism (movement and deformation of the earth's crust)​

② upheaval (e.g. in politics); seismic shift; earthshaking changes

これより古い岩石は破壊されてしまったか地殻変動によって大きく変形してしまったかです。 これよりふるいがんせきははかいされてしまったかちかくへんどうによっておおきくへんけいしてしまったかです。 The rocks older than this have been either destroyed or highly deformed through plate tectonics.

sporty dude. Pleatless pants, which goes well with the lectern. I’ve always how loved Bush’ jagged syntax was coordinated with his angular movement. Geological. Diastrophic thrust. Manic, never smug. Like looking at a Cezanne painting

Vital Weekly reviewed latest three releases on zappak.

Takashi Masubuchi & Yosuke Morone – Particles and Waves Kaori Komura & Yutaka Hirose – Diastrophism Dance p.o.p. (psychology of perception) – Alien Stewardess

The Japanese Zappak label is always surprising, with music on the fringe of improvisation, sound art, and conceptual art, plus it usually introduces new names. New names such as Yosuke Morone, who plays electronics and prepared sounds in duet with Takashi Masubuchi on acoustic guitar. I know him from various releases on Ftarri, which is also the location where they played on January 28, 2023, and it’s the first time they played together. Radical music is a perfect example of what the label stands for. Two pieces on this CD are named after their duration, ‘[34:18]’ and ‘[33:02]’. The first opens with a high-frequency sine wave sound, which is piercingly loud (and I can’t imagine what it sounds like to someone thirty years younger than me), and the guitar plays individual notes, very quiet and sparse. Think Taku Sugimoto but with a backing of sine waves. Slowly, these sine waves (created with function generators) alter in white noise and, towards the end of this piece, intense bass sounds. The high piercing tones don’t return in the second piece, in which Morone’s contribution is quite different. More like obscured tape hiss, being slowly amplified. In both pieces, there is a gradual build-up towards something much louder (but not noisy). There isn’t much interaction between both players, but that’s the idea of the music here: no responding to each other. The guitar sounds clean, while the electronics are deliberately vague and strange. This works better in the second piece than in the first piece.

The name Kaori Komura popped up in Vital Weekly 1393 when she worked with Kazumoto Endo on a track for a compilation, and she plays Korean percussion instruments. In the 1980s, she was a hardcore punk band GISM member. Yutaka Hirose is a tuba player from Tokyo. He’s also “a member of some bands and ensembles such as “tail”, “Zayaendo”, “Aosaba” and “Itsuki-Hirose”. This CD shows a more traditional side of Zappak’s interest in improvised music. The two pieces were recorded a year ago at Permian in Tokyo. Both instruments sound the way they are supposed to, even when I haven’t got a particular notion about the percussion; it sounds percussion, drum, and cymbal-like. I think their music is all about interaction, and they cleverly play with the notion of loud versus quiet. Sometimes, they are both quiet or loud and sometimes, there is that distinction. In ‘Roaring Pulse’, Komura plays an ongoing rhythm at various points, which you do not often see in improvised music. It’s something I somehow enjoy, maybe as something to hang to in what otherwise may come across as slightly more chaotic. At just under an hour long, this is quite a ride, perhaps better enjoyed with one piece at a time. Let this be my choice of improvised music for this week.

And lastly, p.o.p. (psychology of perception) is preferred in lowercase; I am not sure why you would write between brackets what p.o.p. stands for. Why not use one or the other but not both simultaneously? This is the CD that is not by Japanese musicians, and also to have more than two pieces of music, and is a double CD. I reviewed their ‘Tabriz’ CD in Vital Weekly 888 when p.o.p. was a duo of Reinhold Friedl (piano) and Hannes Strobl (electric bass). With their second release, ‘Ikebana’ (not reviewed in Vital Weekly), they were a quartet, adding Nara Krahl (cello) and Elena Kakaliagou (French horn). The information says, “Alien Stewardess”, concentrates on the question: What do the musicians’ bodies know? Four individual musicians, each with his/her own sound and body memory, create a network of interferences and thus a multiplication of the sonic-kinetic perspectives: sensual, three-dimensional, and organic. Let yourself be guided by the alien stewardess in and out of time and space! Enjoy the journey…” This is the sort of text that is too cryptic for me. It reads well, but what does it mean? As with the previous Zappak release, this is all very nicely improvised, albeit of a much different kind, but two discs spanning some 150 minutes of music is a bit much. In their common approach, they like their sounds to be close together, like an acoustic (almost, that is) drone, out of which small sounds pop (pun intended) up. Because their pieces are long, twenty to thirty minutes (except the first ten minutes), playing this music must sometimes be an endurance test, with full-on concentration. Each piece is like a massive and dense cloud; if you look closely, you’ll see the more minor changes. Maybe there is some chaos, too; if you listen closely, it seems as if not much of this makes much sense, and at the same time, there is that tranquil feeling, almost spacious music. Maybe it’s not strange to think of this music as a fruitful meeting of improvisation and modern composition. Great release, but very long. (Reviewed by Frans de Waard)

Comics Read 09/01-14/2021

ver the pesky two weeks I read Gilbert “Beto” Hernandez’s Human Diastrophism A Love and Rockets Book. During this time I never knew or looked into the definition of “diastrophism”. But while writing this I did and according to Wikipedia it is :

the process of deformation of the Earth's crust which involves folding and faulting. Diastrophism can be considered part of geotectonics. The word is derived from the Greek διαστροϕή diastrophḗ 'distortion, dislocation'.

So I guess it’s appropriate that the collection ends with the aftermath of an earthquake in Palomar. That isn’t the title story. That one is titled, “Chelo’s Burden”, which was also the title of the first story in the Heartbreak Soup collection. That gives a sort of full circle affect that makes it easy to put aside Love and Rockets for the time being.

The actual title story is, according to the blurb on the back “the only full-length ‘Palomar’ graphic novel to date” (my copy was printed in 2016) and it involves a serial killer, a plague of violent monkeys, Luba’s children finding out who their fathers’ are, and Tonantzin trying to get in touch with her ancestral practices and modern politics. I’m going to start with Luba.

As I mentioned in my previous post about Palomar stories, Luba is a rapist. I was wondering how aware Beto was of her abusive behavior, but this confirmed for me that he knows. A character explicitly says that she “likes teenage boys” but knows to keep it a secret. One of the other fathers of her children, Khamo, was a teenager when they first got together. He doesn’t get much of a point of view. It’s implied that he was mature for his age, but given how he bounces between within the “Human Diastrophism” plot, and it ends with him being maimed, I mostly feel bad for him. During this story Luba also rapes teen-age aspiring artist, Humberto. His reaction is a like if an old-fashioned-cartoon-man’s-eyes-pop-out-of-his-head-over-seeing-a-bombshell were drawn to show trauma. Luba is indifferent. I was glad her eldest, Maricela, called out her abusive behavior and left Palomar.

(I also like that Maricela’s adult form keeps the ridiculously large breast size, but also looks butch. Great character design.)

The story of Tonantzin is tragic, but also so much of it is goofy, it feels like we are almost always encouraged to laugh at her. It’s the coldest and most disconcerting part of the story.

The serial killer seems to be the least important aspect of the story. The monkey’s posses more menace. One of Luba’s daughters disturbingly relates to the monkeys. The story does seem to emphasize how unimportant it is to like Luba. She’s a force of nature. You don’t need to like her to find the stories she’s in interesting.

Or at least that’s how I felt most of the book. Then around the time the stories about Luba’s mother, Maria, and long lost sisters Petra and Fritzi, were introduced, I got pretty tired of this cyclical family dynamic. I stopped feeling hope for most of the younger generation when the father of Guadeloupe’s son was revealed and she kept fixated on an estranged friend of her father’s.

While reading Love and Rockets I’ve frequently found myself wishing I could forget the Strangers in Paradise comparison that led me to it originally. In a lot of ways, L&R is better than SiP. The mood over story approach to plot makes the jumping around in time work better, and also prevents a lot of jokes from becoming too hokey. But it also keeps me from being engaged when I don’t like the vibes. While there is a lot more to say about this, (I didn’t even get to Pipo’s story!) I mostly want to move on to the rest of my to-read pile.

Sorry. I'm the same anon who sent that short and accidental Chaotix ask. What I meant to ask is a translation request. Could you check if the JP version of Chaotix's manual said that there was movement within "the earth's crust" in there? I find the Windii translation interesting since if it's accurate, it'd be a sure example of a Genesis Era Sonic game referring to the planet they're on as Earth. In common language, we don't say stuff like "the earth" for Mars.

The term used is 地殻運動, which is the JP term for Diastrophism.
