Next report of June 2006

 

 

For the new comers: The reports of Interzone contain the monthly activities of the members of the group in different domains. As we are about 400 people in the world, all different, the whole might appear at first sight as an incongruous medley. For more information on the subjects developed here, please refer to the previous reports since 1997 in the page Information on Interzone

 

 

"Los Banditos Rouge ~ Retribution"

 

 

 by Paul O’Donovan

 

Hi all,

This report is definitely dedicated to music, due to the number of news in this domain this month.


Music :

  *     Ramuntcho Matta: Mes plus grands succès :
http://www.ramuntchomatta.com/ Ramuntcho has given a concert in Milano, Italy, on June 1st a+mbookstore via Tadino, Milano.

   *     The Whirling Dervish
are prepairing an album and have been giving a number of concerts this month: see their blog at
http://www.myspace.com/thewhirlingdervish

   *    Neil Young “Living with the war”:
I got in touch with Neil Youngs’s site in My Space through :
http://www.myspace.com/neilyoung and discovered the album, words and music, and I must say it was a puff of oxygene. You can hear the whole on line for free at  http://www.hyfntrak.com/neilyoung2/AFF23130/
The video of the album is at
http://www.neilyoung.com/lww/video01_wm_ref.html

One funny thing happened when I was discovering the album on line, while copying the April report in Interzone News at the same time, and I incidently clicked on the URL of Burroughs’ video “Thansgiving Prayer” at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTETsg4FdvY&search=William Burroughs, and the video started to play at the same time as the record. Impressive synchronicity ! You can try it on this page now.
I also recommend the experiment with the recording of “The Last Words of Hassan Sabbah in Real Player at

Also in My Space, a number of musicians asked to come to my friends’ list, and they are making
some great music, in very different domains : listen to their songs in their URL, they are worth it really .

From Master Musicians of Joujouka  : In August 1973, Oui magazine published a feature about Joujouka.

He was accompanied by Craig Karpel, who wrote a parallel report on Burroughs’ visit to Joujouka. The full article is available here as a PDF file: oui-aug73.pdf [1.61mb]  http://joujouka.net/file_download/1

General semantics:

The blog site BlogSpirit http://www.blogspirit.com/fr/index.php ,  on which I had started “le blog du non-A” dedicated to comments of the news on the base of general semantics, is going to ask for money for its services. As a result, I have moved the contents in my blog at Le Monde : Bienvenue à Interzone: http://isabellebaudron.blog.lemonde.fr/isabellebaudron/
