Eraldo Bernocchi

Eraldo Bernocchi (born c. 1963) is an Italian musician, producer and sound designer.

History

Eraldo started his career in the late '70s as a guitarist in independent punk bands. In the mid '80s, together with Paolo Bandera and Luca di Giorgio, Eraldo co-founded the conceptual audio project Sigillum-S, which grew into a highly acclaimed international cult act and remains the longest running project Bernocchi is involved with.

In the 90′s, together with his wife, visual artist Petulia Mattioli, Eraldo established Verba Corrige Productions, which became the base for a raft of notable audio visual projects and co-operations. A relentless sound explorer, the '90s and '00s also saw Eraldo expand his base of collaborators greatly – both within Italy and throughout the world. Some of these included Mick Harris (Harris releasing Eraldo's SIMM debut on his own Possible Recs imprint and working with Black Engine as well as two collaborative albums under their names), Bill Laswell (Somma, Charged, Ashes and numerous others), Nils Petter Molvaer, Harold Budd, Russell Mills, Toshinori Kondo (Charged), Raiz, Almamegretta, Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari, Spectre, Sensational, DJ Disk, Professor Shebab, Thomas Fehlmann, Zu (as Black Engine), DJ Olive, Markus Stockhausen, Giovanni Lindo Ferretti (as producer and author), Robin Guthrie, Colin Edwin and Balazs Pandi among many others.

J2O

J₂O is a still soft drink made from fruit juices. It is manufactured by Britvic and sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The launch in 1998 was led by Sheraz Dar, with ‘J₂O’ aimed at providing an alternative solution for people who were going out to bars and clubs but weren't drinking alcoholic beverages. The name ‘J₂O’ is a pun on the chemical formula for water, H₂O, chosen due to the drink's 50% fruit juice content. The first flavours available were Orange & Passion fruit, Apple & Mango and Apple & Melon, but the range has progressively grown since.

History

In 2001 due to growing brand success, ‘J₂O’'s packaging was redesigned and a fourth flavour, Orange & Cranberry, was introduced. In 2002, due to the brands' popularity within the on-trade sector, ‘J₂O’ was made available to the take-home market for the first time, with four-bottle packs being introduced into supermarkets and shops. 2005 saw the packaging changed once more and a new flavour, Apple & Raspberry being launched.

On 2 August 2006, Britvic announced a promotional campaign designed to coincide with the Little Britain live tour. The campaign, named "J2O is in for a laugh" allows buyers to enter a competition to win one of 96 VIP tickets to see the Little Britain show.

Īhām

Īhām in Persian, Kurdish and Arabic poetry is a literary device in which an author uses a word, or an arrangement of words, that can be read in several ways. Each of the meanings may be logically sound, equally true and intended.

Definitions

In the 12th century, Rashid al-Din Vatvat defined īhām as follows: "Īhām in Persian means to create doubt. This is a literary device, also called takhyīl [to make one suppose and fancy], whereby a writer (dabīr), in prose, or a poet, in verse, employs a word with two different meanings, one direct and immediate (qarīb) and the other remote and strange (gharīb), in such a manner that the listener, as soon as he hears that word, thinks of its direct meaning while in actuality the remote meaning is intended."

Amir Khusrow (1253–1325 CE) introduced the notion that any of the several meanings of a word, or phrase, might be equally true and intended, creating a multilayered text. Discerning the various layers of meanings would be a challenge to the reader, who has to focus on and keep turning over the passage in his mind, applying his erudition and imagination to perceive alternative meanings.
