(photos, left to right, by George Kalinsky, Guy le Querrec, Linda McCartney) The Jam Session That Wasn't Been thinking about this today... On Oct 21, 1969, Jimi Hendrix sent a telegram to Paul McCartney at the Beatles' Apple Records in London... "We are recording and LP together this weekend in NewYork," it says, complete with typographical errors. "How about coming in to play bass stop call Alvan Douglas 212-5812212. Peace Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis Tony Williams." [full story here] "The telegram raises more questions than it answers. It advises McCartney to contact producer Alan Douglas (whose first name is misspelled in the cable) if he could make the session. But it's not clear if McCartney was even aware of the unusual, apparently impromptu invitation to rush from his London base to New York for the planned session. (...) "The invitation came at an extremely awkward moment for the Beatles' bassist. It was sent the same day a prominent New York City radio station gave wide exposure to a rumor that McCartney had died in a car crash and been replaced by a lookalike. The bizarre story, supposedly supported by hints on Beatles records and album covers, briefly gained worldwide credibility. Its dark nature apparently prompted the exasperated McCartney to retreat with his family to their farm in Scotland. (...) "And then there is the question of what the proposed group would have sounded like. Davis was moving away from his jazz roots toward a fusion-based sound. He said in his autobiography that by 1968 he was listening primarily to James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone and, particularly, Hendrix - musicians joined by a love of syncopated funk not found on Beatles tracks.

"It is not clear either how McCartney's melodic, subtle bass playing would have made its presence felt in a band that included Hendrix' guitar and Davis' trumpet.

"At first, though, it sounds really weird and off the wall. But on second thought it makes perfect, Hendrix-type sense to chuck in someone who's a great musician but comes from a different tradition," said Hendrix biographer Charles Shaar Murray. "I regret this never actually took place. ... it would have been magnificent."

Who’s That Sweetheart?

Incepted into existence on May 16, 1993, within the confines of Seoul, South Korea, the Lee Ji-eun, renowned by her epithet IU, manifests as a preeminent persona. The seminal epoch of 2008 witnessed her debut into the music industry with the opulent mini-album “Lost and Found,”whereupon IU expeditiously garnered acclaim for her prodigious musical prowess and expansive artistic adaptability. The nomenclature IU, an amalgamation of the pronouns “I” and “You,” serves as a poignant emblem, emblematic of the symbiotic nexus binding her and her ardent fans, known affectionately as UAENAs. This virtuoso has traversed an eclectic spectrum of musical genres, ranging from the euphonic cadences of pop to the soul-stirring sonorities of balladry and the sophisticated harmonies of jazz. Concurrently sculpting an indelible imprint in the realm of dramaturgy, she has graced the screen in myriad television sagas and cinematic productions. Epochal opuses such as “Modern Times,” “Palette,” and “Love Poem” have notably indurated her position as a polymathic virtuosa. Her meritorious oeuvre has precipitated a deluge of accolades and awards. Beyond the purview of her artistic undertakings, she stands as a beacon of benevolence, endowing substantial philanthropic largesse to commendable causes. In her capacity as a covetable patron of esteemed brands, she persists as an adored and influential luminary, casting an enduring effulgence upon the panorama of South Korea’s cultural milieu. If you wish to know more about her you can visit her official accounts; @dlwlrma on Instagram, @_IUofficial and @lily199iu on Twitter, 아이유(IU) on Facebook, and 이지금 [IU Official] on YouTube.

DO COMPREHEND.

Allow me to elucidate the ongoing discourse surrounding the issue of portraying the esteemed personality known as IU. This matter has persisted until the present moment. On February 12, LOEN Entertainment, IU’s former agency prior to EDAM, disseminated a statement addressing the predicament of individuals assuming the guise of artists through social media platforms. This declaration was made via their official Facebook page. The statement articulates, “We wish to draw attention to the matter of individuals operating social media profiles that counterfeit artists. We earnestly hope that individuals refrain from tarnishing the reputation of artists through such deceitful impersonation.” Let me expound upon the nuances of the article for those who may find its intricacies elusive. To begin with, it is imperative to differentiate between impersonation and roleplaying. Impersonation denotes the deceptive act of assuming the identity of another individual, undertaken either for the purpose of entertainment or with fraudulent intent. The article cautions against those who engage in impersonation, masquerading as idols, thereby detrimentally affecting their public image through imitation.

The crux of this issue lies in individuals who exploit IU’s likeness for nefarious purposes, utilizing her image to engage in harmful activities and monetary gain. Such malevolent actors not only imitate but also usurp the very identity of the artist. It is essential to note that neither her agency nor IU herself take issue with genuine roleplayers. However, their concern pertains to certain Korean websites where individuals impersonate IU with the intention of defrauding people and disseminating false information about her. For those who remain skeptical, I am prepared to provide links to corroborating sources (please refer to my initial statement). Should further inquiries or concerns arise, I welcome direct messages via my designated channels; however, I must forewarn of potential delays in my responses. I sincerely hope that this clarifies the prevailing situation. My gratitude for your understanding and attention.

I want to explore some ideas with analogue materials as I had ideas to use letraset inspiration. I thought this design was nice as it uses very 3D analogue object alongside typographic design. It creates an interesting texture.

Assigment: Poster

Here is my design of a poster for my lecture of Visual Communication.

The objective of this project was to create a poster of a genre of music using the basic principles of design with basic figures and typographic elements. Without using images or photographs. Demonstrating understanding of visual language and skill in design programs.

The genre of music chosen for my project was Jazz. I decided to choose this genre of music because despite not listening to it very often it is a genre that I find very interesting since it is characterized by its improvisation, unique style, complex harmony, and rhythms.

In Jazz I consider the voice of the artist and the instruments to be very important, the most common instruments are the trumpet, saxophone, tuba, and piano.

For the design of my poster, I used basic design figures such as lines and shapes, mainly circles and rounded shapes to represent movement, and dynamism and represent the style and improvisation of Jazz.

Mainly I play with the contrast of colours, using a dark background and colours like yellow and orange to reflect happiness. I also decided to play with contrasts in typographies, with sizes, typography types, direction and colours.

I decided to use a saxophone as the main element because I consider that when we talk about Jazz the sound of the saxophone is the first thing that comes to mind. As not being able to use images or photographs I decided to design a more abstract version of it with curved lines and circles.

Pat Thomas & XT (Seymour Wright, Paul Abbott), Will Holder — “Akisakila” / Attitudes of Preparation [Mountains, Oceans, Trees] (Edition Gamut)

In August 2018, Café OTO presented a tribute to the recently departed Cecil Taylor with discussions of his life and work, a poetry reading by Evie Ward influenced by Taylor’s writings, and a performance by pianist Pat Thomas and XT (Seymour Wright on “actual & potential saxophone” and Paul Abbott on “drums and synthetic sounds”). In preparation for the event, Thomas, Wright and Abbott spent some time listening and discussing Taylor’s 1973 trio recording Akisakila featuring Jimmy Lyons and Andrew Cyrille (surprisingly, as far as I can tell, the only piano, sax, drums trio recording aside from Nefertiti, The Beautiful One Has Come recorded a decade earlier with Sunny Murray.) The three prepared an audio track which they describe as “‘unit structures’ made up of various voices of Cecil’s influences and associates (real and imaginary), and at the end the voice of Cecil himself” which they used as an open framework for the performance. They noted that “In our p(l)aying some sort of ‘tribute’ we hoped to create a space in which to think about, interrogate, acknowledge, embody and feel the nature of influence: his ‘attitudes of preparation’.”

It’s unusual to start a discussion of a recording with a focus on the LP cover. But here, the design of the four panels of the gatefold cover in collaboration with artist-typographer Will Holder (F.R.David) is fully integrated into the strategies the three have taken with the music. Transcriptions of interviews with the musicians along with an interview with Taylor by Eric Plaks are fractured, fragmented, and woven together into an expansive study in syntactical abstraction. Ideas are introduced and interrupted mid-stream. Points of view shift in kaleidoscopic manner from line to line. At first this is all bemusing, but patience reveals shifting threads and repeated tropes which offer inroads into the strategies the three took. Phrases like “[an attempt] to re-situate ourselves, our understanding of the tools and of history,” “[developing] a model of playing repertoire” or “[creating an] ecosystem, in which everything is mutable” provides an insight into the trio’s approach toward paying homage to Taylor’s music while developing personal inroads to that lineage. Quotes that appear such as “you’ve really got to have a melodic concept and the same with Cecil”, “the music is so independent in how it’s organized” and “Cecil saved the piano in contemporary jazz” provide a further glimpse into the “unit structures” explored by Thomas, Wright, and Abbott. 

As Taylor notes in an interview that is woven into both the LP cover and the audio track prepared by the trio, “It seems to me that there are attitudes of preparation. Those attitudes of preparation include: if you’re going to play an instrument it could include researching the past masters of that instrument; the music that they made; but more than that the methodological concepts that produced that music.” Seymour Wright reflects that “For me, Attitudes of Preparation [...] is very much concerned with the idea of influence and how ideas and influences move across mediums (not just music), materials, ideas, bodies, (communities of) practices. And seeing how it feels — somatically, emotionally to move towards a certain way of playing. It was completely improvised, no rehearsals, minimal discussion in advance, we checked the sound and that was that. It was very much a one-off event — not concerned with developing a repertoire, but with an instance of celebratory reflection… Akisakila is such a powerful and important record it felt like the correct way in.”

 Which brings things to the music itself. Over the course of 75 minutes, Thomas, Wright, and Abbott dig deeply into the music of Taylor, Lyons and Cyrille, exploring their notions of “a new grammar” and “alternative vocabulary” (phrases referenced in the graphic cover). Starting out with a looped and abraded grab of the announcer’s introduction to the original album, the three dive straight in to the brewing maelstrom. Thomas digs deep into Taylor’s melodic concepts, or as noted in the cover “the idea of melody,” going beyond the surface of Val Wilmer’s description of Taylor’s “eighty-eight tuned drums.” He refracts the coursing torrents with splintered clusters of motivic intricacy. Jimmy Lyons’ role in shaping Taylor’s music is often underplayed, but Wright fully absorbs how central he was, referencing “the ‘alto’-ness of [Lyons’ playing] which to me is important. He is (to me) one of a wave of alto saxophonists after Charlie Parker (and Bostic) who moved on, and responded, in different saxophonic directions: Ornette, Jimmy Lyons, Braxton, Threadgill, Roscoe, Hemphill, Lake, a crucial part of balancing the logic of how ideas move.” 

Wright and Abbot have honed their playing together In duo and in collaborations ranging from RP Boo to Container to performance artist Anne Gillis, deconstructing the notion of beats, pulse and flow, melding alto sax and drums with electronics and amplification with a lithe, volatile sense of time and structure. In this collaboration, the two zero in on the piano/sax/drums vocabulary developed by Taylor, Lyons and Cyrille and apply that same sensibility. Wright’s playing builds from Lyons’ structural invention with searing lines that hurdle along with potent focus. His strident tone and keen utilization of split multiphonics provides a critical foil to Thomas’ harmonic inventions. It’s particularly intriguing to hear Abbott within the prominent jazz inflections of the performance. Here, he explodes pulse and time while charting dynamic inroads into the propulsive momentum of the trio. His use of electronic shadings is also effective in integrating the prepared audio track woven through the performance. 

The final section of the performance centers around a taped conversation between Taylor and Eric Plaks. Here, Taylor’s voice and distinctive vocal phrasing comes to the fore with pared back piano punctuation by Thomas. Then, the music simply cuts as the conversation ends. This final framing pays distinctive homage while wrapping the music back around to the enveloping graphics of the cover, tying the entire package together. Since the Oto concert, the trio has continued the project, expanding on the initial impetus. Wright sums it up this way. “We played short (20 minute) sets of 'Cecil material' on the first night in Zurich and at OTO, as a way of revisiting, briefly (and very rewardingly) that material — but the other music was an on-going development of the XT/Pat trio, all three of us using acoustic and electronic sound… The project was really about exploring I think, an investigation of ideas. And still is. The recent trio concerts were the same, but concerned with how Pat, Paul and I can make our own music, and work into the future.” One looks forward to how this collaboration will continue to evolve their “ecosystem, in which everything is mutable.”
