Tragedy struck Midlothian on September 5th 1889 when Sixty-three miners, some as young as thirteen, died in an underground fire at Mauricewood Pit, Penicuik

The cause of which was never discovered, it was the worst mining disaster in the history of the Lothians. Most of them died from suffocation when smoke entered the ventilation system.

The following is extracted from “The Mauricewood Braves” one of Wilsons ‘Mining Lays, Tales and Folk-lore’ published 1916.

“The Mauricewood Pit, at Penicuik, near Edinburgh, took fire on September 5th, 1889, and sixty eight men and boys lost their lives.

The principal product from the pit was ironstone, although coal in small quantities was also produced. The pit had a vertical shaft of 480 feet then a level roadway eastwards of 180 feet and this was followed by a one in eight dip decline of 960 feet (Deaths Incline). Halfway down the decline a steam engine had been erected and another steam engine did duty at the bottom. The steam pipes traversed this route, and it was at the 800 ft slant that the fire broke out among the support timbers. The wood was tinder and inflammable, and it was soon apparent that the conflagration would spread and become disastrous. There were no other outlets to or from the lower level, and unless the men below received a warning note to give them a chance of escape, they must inevitably perish.

Three trapper and pony boys – Robert Hook Tolmie (my own surname but no relation) , aged 14; Michael Hamilton, aged 15; and Thomas Foster, aged 17 years, volunteered to go round the mine and warn all the men below of their danger, but the only shiftman there, his mate was away in another district of the pit- pleaded with the boys not to go away and said that he would go himself to warn the other men of the fires danger, but the boys in unison shouted as they ran

“No, we’ll go” ….. And they went. The brave boys never came back alive.

“They died to save” The bodies of the boys were afterwards recovered (surrounded by over twenty other bodies) near a trapdoor that had got blocked up in the meantime cutting off the avenue of escape. The mine was subsequently flooded to quench the fire that was raging in the workings, and over a year elapsed before the last body was brought to the surface.

The heroism and self-sacrifice of the three lads aroused sympathetic expressions and admiration throughout the mining world, and a monument marks their last resting place in the Penicuik’s KirkHill Cemetery.

Zajok a nappaliból – Traxelektor 2023. 03.

Elnézést! A csúszás oka egyfelől, hogy ez a szám egy szinte teljesen megújult gépen készül, illetve, hogy egy kellően őrült március múlik el éppen, így teljesen okés, hogy a márciusi szám a bolondok napján publikul.

Az I:Cube-ot nem szokták a French Touch hősei (Daft Punk, Lauren Garnier, Cassius, Air, St. Germain..) között emlegetni, pedig sokkal konstansabb és szélesebb életművel bír Nicolas Chaix munkássága, és hát a ’97-es Picnic Attack (nekem) van olyan fontos mű, mint az Air – Moon Safarija vagy a Homework. A Cubo Live Session-ök voltak 2020/21-ben az utolsó megjelenések, és most egyből albummal ébred álmából az I:Cube. Az EYE CUBE címet viselő lemez (ezzel azt hiszem a bandanév összes béna variációja el lett lőve) minden olyan ismérvet magán visel, ami a Merovingienne/Lucifer En Discotheque/Cryptoporticus korszakban jellemzővé vált. Kevésbé táncos, annál művészibb zenei kompozíciókból épül fel, annyira, hogy ez már szinte Sheffield és a The Black Dog synthspace-e.

A háromszorosan elismert dzsungelmesteri paszományát rugdalhatná térdeivel basszusokra és törtekre Alex Dickson, ha a dárembézesek elkapnák a plecsnikórt és a díjfluenzát. A szelíd mosolyú Pugilist változatlan tempóval (4,2 ep/év) szeli a hullámokat. Talán még a minőség is mondhatni egyenletes, bár őszintén szólva, inkább nem és a Negative Space EP lóg ki felfelé, magasan.

Sam Goku ismerős lehet, annak, ki követi az oldalt (debut album: East Dimensional Riddims [2021], Flowery Rave Tales [2021] - nyolcadik a Top 12 EP/Single Charton). Sam Goku aka Robin Wang szerzeményeiben felismerhető a kínai organikus zenei építkezés, s egyfajta zeitgeist: a technológia és a természet könnyed egyensúlyára törekvés. A „berlin based artist” The Things We See When We Look Closer című albuma talán kissé sterilebbre sikerült, mégis figyelemre méltó.

Lia Kohl chicago-i csellista feljátszott kortárs zenei témáit úgy keveri hangminták és effektek rétegei közé, hogy egy egészen különleges, bár műfajában egyáltalán nem ismeretlen ambientet kapunk. A lemez hullámzását tehát lassú cselló futamok, váratlan és stílusidegen megőrülések, széteső, akár darabjaira hulló etapok, csendes, mély terek adják. A The Ceiling Reposes hatodik albuma a művésznőnek, s melynek hat sora verssé áll össze.

A London Contemporary Orchestra idén már kiadott soundtrack lemezt is Cate Blanchett és Sophie Kauer közreműködésével, mely Todd Fields tavaly bemutatott, Lydia Tár karmesterről szóló filmjéhez készült. A Robert Ames és Hugh Brunt által vezetett LCO-tól nem áll távol az underground elektronika művészeivel való kollaboráció sem, lásd Actress (2018). Most Oscar Powell-nek kínáltak menekülőutat a klubok zajától. A 26 Lives album válogatás Powell és a LCO tavaly januárban a Barbican Centerben elhangzott négy órás koncertjének felvételeiből.

Old Castle néven tömörülnek trióba Robin Storey (Rapoon, Zoviet France), Robert L. Pepper (Pas Musique), és Shaun Sandor (Promute). Öregkastélyék nem falazzák a köntölt, az Artwork 51 albumot nyitó Rage Goat, lassan lefelé tekeredő, ellenállhatatlanul dögös, ámde akadozó gitárriffjével, eddig az év egyik underground slágere. Az album nagy részét a kísérletezés uralja, még akkor is, hogyha trendi elemek formájában kering körülöttünk, spoken word-ökkel, krautrock vasakkal. Az album a lengyel (gdanski) Zoharum kiadónál jelent meg, de nem a spotify számára.

Christina Sealey és Richard Oddie az újrahasznosítás jegyében 2011 és 2015 közötti felvételeik (Tangled Paths, Vanishing Point, Apparition, Hungry Ghosts) újraértelmezésébe fogtak. A csak szerzői kiadásban érkező Revenant EP gyakorlatilag hibátlan, az Orphx-től megszokott és elvárható tökély (4/4). Mivel szerzői kiadás, a spotify-on ne keresd!

Anthony Child, aki Discogs profiljába a különféle párhuzamos világok Matt Damonjairól készült fotókat tölt fel szórakozásból, új albummal érkezik.

Tény, hogy 2018-as az utolsó Surgeon album (Luminosity Device) – az ő profilképén meg valamelyik Oliver Kahn mosolyog. Na, szóval az is tény, hogy akármennyire is kiemelkedik a technomezőnyből, neki is a kislemez/ep a gyakoribb esemény, azok három éve történtek (Europa Code EP, The Golden Sea EP, 2020). Újabb revenantunk Surgeon, a modern elektronika egyik legmegbecsültebb tagja, kvázi ikon, aki ezt megalkuvásmentes, kitartó életmű-építésével vívta ki magának - nem emlékszem gyenge kiadványra tőle. A berlini Tresor-nál megjelent Crash Recoil pedig méltó az előzményekhez, nagyon erős anyag, főleg a szerkesztés szintjén, Surgeon a váltásaival végig feszesen tartja az élményt. A Crash Recoil Tour március 4-én Gijonban indult el, kizárólag nyugat európai helyszínekkel.

A sznoébresztő úgy szólna: Ayaz nevű artista Unpinned című műve Mr. TC és Lo Kindre kiadójánál, a Phase Group-nál jelent meg 300 példányban bakeliten, bár erről még a Discogs se tud pillanatnyilag (a Phase Group alatt). Ayaz nevére a Discogs-on 6*7 azaz 42 találat van, jelentsen ez bármit is a bárkivel szemben. Semmiképp nem Ajax, mert az Amszterdam, akkor inkább Feyenord, mert ez az arc a Bandcamp szerint rotterdami dj, producer, sőt azerbajdzsáni légiós dj. Így már számomra is érthetőek a különös hangminták, amik az album bizonyos szakaszain fel-felbukkannak. A záró Reprise egy naiv, cukros klisé volna például, de hallani, hogy ezt nem európai elme szerkesztette. Úgy vezeti ezeket az ismert elemeket, mintha ázsiai repetitív népzenét hallanánk (ez nem volt píszí, mi? marad). Igazából az Unpinned – ami valószínűleg debutalbuma a szerzőnek – engem teljesen elragadott, mondhatnám, magával rántott, mint radákot az amorf. Bár zeneileg más, annyira mozis, mint egy tetszőleges Recoil. Totális leftfielditás, ködös laposkúszás valakinek az álmaiban, színes, távoli sötétség.

François Marché és Stéphane Bodin kettőse a Froid Dub nekem eddig ismeretlen volt, miként a két zenész számos egyéb pszeudója is. Pedig a Deep Blue Bass album - melynek címe amilyen elcsépelt, annyira pontos – már a második albumuk. Az, hogy annyira mégse hideg dub az a kék basszus, a fényeknek tudható be, amik sokszor vépörveresen verdesik felszínét és verődnek vissza a térben. A klasszikus dub összes erénye feltűnik tiszta elektronikába csomagolva, a bravúros Isla Morada / Original Stalker / Rude Light záró hármas kifejezetten kedves darabok szívemnek, úgyszólván slágerek (bár erről a környezetem többnyire mást gondol, jelbezárnám).

A Laibach hitelessége számomra sose lehet kétség tárgya. Teljesítményük, jelenlétük ereje, hogy mekkora zenei spektrumot lettek képesek átfogni életművükkel döbbenetes. Gondoljunk csak bele: ez a 300.000 Verschiedene Krawalle side project-től a Folk albumig húzódik. Gyengém, hogy amikor a Laibach átcsap operába, már nehezemre esik követni. Ezért is volt megnyugtató a Sketches Of The Red Districts címét és borítóját látni. S mint hamar kiderült, egészen a genezisükig visznek vissza minket Milan Fras-ék, az 1980-as megalakulásukig, Tbovljébe. Ez egy önvizsgálat, témája pedig a hitelesség. Visszatekintés a zenekar ideológiai, esztétikai, a zenei hangzásbeli gyökereire a mából. Az a Jugoszlávia nagyon messze van a mai uniótag Szlovéniától. Megváltoztak a médiumok, amiket a Laibach tudatosan használ az NSK megalapítása óta, megváltozott a világ, amire mindig reagáltak, értelmezték, művészetükkel újraértelmezték. S közben a kortárs zenében lezajlott forradalom részesei is voltak. Innen oda visszatekinteni, annak tudatában, hogy az idő és a történetek mindazt újraírták rég.

youtube

Ami pedig a zenét illeti, ez most tényleg az a klasszikus Laibach, kein eurovision liederfest. Az ipari elektronika könyörtelenül pontos szívsebészei, hegyekről legördülő gitárhurkokon elmormolt velős gondoltaikkal delejeznek. Van vasbakancsos belassulás, lassú, spirális emelkedés, téboly, mozdulatlanná merevedés. Indusztriál pszichedelia, neue/alte slowenische kunst.

Material + Object aka Andre Ruellonak új albuma van. Mármint ez az a Material Object, aki az Elektronik I-II albumot jegyzi 2011-12-ből a megboldogult ambientgéniusz Pete Namlookkal, s aki jobbára a 2010-es években volt aktív. Na de ez a borító! Kedves Andre! Nem szeretném szavakba önteni, az olvasóra bízom. Kedves olvasó, köszönöm a befogadást, áldás!

A Telepath az Editions Megonál jelent meg, és maga Atom TM aka Uwe Schmidt masterelte. Experimental ambient és szintetizátor-művészet, akár bevállalós, negyedórás elszállások formájában is, hol az elektronika citerahangokká esik szét csellóágyon (Hyphae). Andre azt mondja, hogy vannak olyan trackek is, mint a copertina. Igaz. Meg az Enter se csak egy enter, így a címében, mert hogy introtrack, és akkor enter, itt kérem be vagyunk léptetve, meg lettünk enteredve. A Telepath az ambient hőskorszakát idézi, manírmentesen.

Traxemle

Meemo Comma - paradinas padavanka, veszett idm-dzsunglista a Planet Mu-ról – Cloudscape című felvételénél nem csoda, ha fennakad a füled, ugyanis a Loverboy album nyitótrackjében az Orbital Belfastjának vokálja hangzik fel szokatlan zenei környezetben. Az albumot megelőző Cloudscape maxin a kiadó tulajdonosa, Mike Paradinas is remixelte, nyilván µ-Ziq néven, de a hölgy eredetije jobb.

Lopott dallamok rovatunknál maradva, a Nulladik típusú találkozások ufo-szelídítő öt hangja csendül fel a Polipores – Our Tiny Orbits szerzeményében, míg Kouslin, Danny Boyle Sunshine (2007) sci-fijének segélyhívó hangjából kreált dallamot a Livity Soundnál megjelent Five Fourban.

Coco Bryce olyan nekem, mint egy nagy Jungle-Break Vidámpark, szédítő hangulat, sokaság, tarrbélára vágott külvárosi mobil lombkoronasétány party, de azért csak elhangzik, hogy – én erre nem ülök föl, baz’ – ...három track így is becsúszott az ehaviba a Point Of No Return-ről.

Otro 3.000 de lujo para Fedra Luna y Florencia Borelli

Fuente: CADA Las mediofondistas argentinas Fedra Alana Luna y Florencia Borelli confirmaron su excepcional momento de forma al mejorar -ambas- el récord sudamericano de los 3.000 metros llanos en pista cubierta durante el meeting Eure, que se disputó este sábado 4 de febrero en el Estadio Jesse Owens, en Val de Reuil, Francia. El sábado anterior, Borelli se había convertido en la primera sudamericana en bajar los 9 minutos en pistas “indoor” al registrar 8m.59s.61 también en Francia, durante el meeting de Lyon (la marplatense, además, posee el récord sudamericano de esta distancia al aire libre con 8m.53s.89 en Memphis 2022). Ese mismo día, Luna -otra ascendente atleta argentina, que desde la última temporada entrena en España- había batido el récord sudamericano de los 1.500 en pista cubierta con 4m.12s.95 en Sabadell, España (mejorando los 4m17s94 logrados por Borelli pocos días antes en Valencia). Para Luna, aquella carrera fue su estreno absoluto en pistas bajo techo. Ahora, en Val de Reuil, Luna ocupó el cuarto puesto con un nuevo tope sudamericano de 8m.57s.59 y Borelli quedó quinta con 8m.58s.59, también debajo de su primado anterior. La carrera fue ganada por la etíope Diribe Welteji con la mejor marca mundial de la temporada: 8m33s44. Welteji es una de las mejores mediofondistas del circuito mundial y en julio pasado ocupó el 4° puesto sobre 1.500 metros llanos en el Mundial de Oregón. Ahora terminó delante de su compatriota Sembo Alawey (8m.35s.94) con tercer puesto para la alemana Hanna Klein con 8m36s42. Fedra Luna, nacida el 5 de julio de 1995, viene protagonizando un fulminante progreso en los últimos tiempos y se convirtió en una de las figuras de la Selección Argentina en los Juegos Odesur de Asunción, a fines de la pasada temporada, cuando logró el doblete dorado sobre 1.500 y 5.000 metros llanos. También se apoderó del récord argentino de los 1.500 en Castellón con 4m.11s.66 y fue subcampeona iberoamericana de 5.000 en Alicante. Borelli, por su parte, es la poseedora de todas las marcas nacionales en ruta (desde los 10 km. hasta el maratón) y también protagonizó un sensacional 2022 con sus victorias en el medio maratón del Iberoamericano y del Sudamericano (Buenos Aires) y, además, su medalla dorada de los Odesur sobre 10 mil metros. En los 60 metros con vallas, el brasileño Eduardo dos Santos Rodrigues de Deus terminó 5° con 7s.75, ganando allí el estasdounidense Michael Dickson con 7s.53. El meeting de Val de Reuil reunió a figuras de primera línea internacional como la ucraniana Yaroslava Mahuchikh, campeona mundial indoor de salto en alto, quien ahora ganó con 1.95 m. El español Mohamed Katir, campeón europeo en mediofondo, s e adueñó hoy de los 1.500 llanos con 3m.35s.48. Y en salto triple también se dieron cita varios de los astros de la especialidad con triunfo para el recordman mundial Hughes Fabrice Zango (Burkina Faso) con 17,48, seguido por los cubanos Lázaro Martínez (17.16) y Andy Díaz (17.09). El subcampeón olímpico Yaming Zhu, de China, fue cuarto con 16.90. Y en el salto con garrocha para damas se impuso la finlandesa y campeona europea Wilma Murto con 4.63, el mismo registro que la canadiense Alysha Newman y la china Xh Huiquin. Read the full article

Tragedy struck Midlothian on September 5th 1889 when Sixty-three miners, some as young as thirteen, died in an underground fire at Mauricewood Pit, Penicuik

The cause of which was never discovered, it was the worst mining disaster in the history of the Lothians. Most of them died from suffocation when smoke entered the ventilation system.

The following is extracted from “The Mauricewood Braves” one of Wilsons ‘Mining Lays, Tales and Folk-lore’ published 1916.

“The Mauricewood Pit, at Penicuik, near Edinburgh, took fire on September 5th, 1889, and sixty eight men and boys lost their lives. The principal product from the pit was ironstone, although coal in small quantities was also produced. The pit had a vertical shaft of 480 feet then a level roadway eastwards of 180 feet and this was followed by a one in eight dip decline of 960 feet (Deaths Incline). Halfway down the decline a steam engine had been erected and another steam engine did duty at the bottom. The steam pipes traversed this route, and it was at the 800 ft slant that the fire broke out among the support timbers. The wood was tinder and inflammable, and it was soon apparent that the conflagration would spread and become disastrous. There were no other outlets to or from the lower level, and unless the men below received a warning note to give them a chance of escape, they must inevitably perish. Three trapper and pony boys – Robert Hook Tolmie (my own surname but no relation) , aged 14; Michael Hamilton, aged 15; and Thomas Foster, aged 17 years, volunteered to go round the mine and warn all the men below of their danger, but the only shiftman there, his mate was away in another district of the pit- pleaded with the boys not to go away and said that he would go himself to warn the other men of the fires danger, but the boys in unison shouted as they ran “No, we’ll go” ….. And they went. The brave boys never came back alive. “They died to save” The bodies of the boys were afterwards recovered (surrounded by over twenty other bodies) near a trapdoor that had got blocked up in the meantime cutting off the avenue of escape. The mine was subsequently flooded to quench the fire that was raging in the workings, and over a year elapsed before the last body was brought to the surface.
