  • Turntablism

    Turntablism is the art of manipulating sounds and creating music using turntables and a DJ mixer. Turntablists generally prefer direct-drive turntables over belt-driven or other types. The word turntablist was originated / developed by Luis "DJ Disk" Quintanilla (Primus, Herbie Hancock, Invisibl Skratch Piklz). And after a phone conversation with Disk, it was later "coined" and used in 1995 by DJ Babu to describe the difference between a DJ who simply plays records and one who performs by physically manipulating the records, stylus, and mixer to produce sounds. The new term coincided with the resurgence of hip-hop DJing in the 1990s.

    John Oswald described the art: "A phonograph in the hands of a 'hiphop/scratch' artist who plays a record like an electronic washboard with a phonographic needle as a plectrum, produces sounds which are unique and not reproduced—the record player becomes a musical instrument."

    Some turntablists use turntable techniques like beat mixing/matching, scratching, and beat juggling. Some turntablists seek to have themselves recognized as traditional musicians capable of interacting and improvising with other performers.

    The Wheel of Time

    The Wheel of Time is a series of high fantasy novels written by American author James Oliver Rigney Jr., under the pen name Robert Jordan. Originally planned as a six-book series, The Wheel of Time spanned fourteen volumes, in addition to a prequel novel and a companion book. Jordan began writing the first volume, The Eye of the World, in 1984. It was published in January 1990.

    The author died in 2007 while working on what was planned to be the twelfth and final volume in the series. He prepared extensive notes so another author could complete the book according to his wishes. Fellow fantasy author and long-time Wheel of Time fan Brandon Sanderson was brought in to complete the final book, but during the writing process it was decided that the book would be far too large to be published in one volume and would instead be published as three volumes:The Gathering Storm (2009), Towers of Midnight (2010), and A Memory of Light (2013).

    The series draws on numerous elements of both European and Asian mythology, most notably the cyclical nature of time found in Buddhism and Hinduism, the metaphysical concepts of balance and duality, and a respect for nature found in Daoism. Additionally, its creation story has similarities to Christianity's "Creator" (Light) and Shai'tan, "The Dark One" (Shaytan is an Arabic word that in religious contexts is used as a name for the Devil). It was also partly inspired by Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace (1869).

    Tear

    by: Electric Litany

    Άφησέ με να 'ρθω μαζί σου
    τι φεγγάρι απόψε
    είναι καλό το φεγγάρι
    δε θα φαίνεται που ασρπίσαν τα μαλλιά μου
    το φεγγάρι θα κάνει πάλι χρυσά τα μαλλιά μου
    δεν θα καταλάβεις
    άφησέ με να 'ρθω μαζί σου.
    Όταν έχει φεγγάρι μεγαλώνουν οι σκιές μες στο σπίτι
    αόρατα χέρια τραβούν τις κουρτίνες
    ένα δάχτυλο αχνό γράφει στη σκόνη του πιάνου λησμονημένα λόγια
    δε θέλω να τα 'κούσω
    Άφησέ με να 'ρθω μαζί σου...
    Wake your fears
    and you will know
    Dry your tears
    and you will know
    Come clear
    and you will know
    When you're near
    we just don't know
    Come clear
    and you will know
    When you're near
    we just don't know
    Say what you want
    Don't change at all
    For we all love
