ananasii

Lucky Pineapple is comprised of an unlikely combination of classically trained musicians, veterans of the Louisville punk scene, theatre performers, improvisational noise artists and even a first time performer. Since their inception in 2004, LUCKY PINEAPPLE have tried to play out of the ordinary shows including art gallery parking lots, Zombie Proms, film festivals, house parties, a student lounge at Transylvania University, as a musical interlude during a teen talent show at the Louisville Free Public Library, frequent appearances on WFPKs Live Lunch series and at Louisville Slugger Field, home of the Louisville Bats AAA baseball team. Live shows have included light shows, video projection collaborations, matching tuxedos, inflatable palm trees, a go-go dancer and a semi-regular group of back-up singers.

V_{dc}=V_{av}=\frac{2V_p}{\pi}

V_{ac}=V_p{\sqrt{ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{4} {\pi^2}}}

V_{RMS}=\sqrt {V_{dc}^2 + V_{ac}^2} = \frac {V_p} {\sqrt 2}

Thus, the total amount of energy is the same after and before the full wave rectifier.

am o teorie, ca o palarie

I am thinking about the world in terms of desires.Let’s take the desire to make it a better place.For everybody.Is it really for everybody?Desiring a better world for everybody implies that everybody is happy with the same thing.What is the common accepted idea of a better world? A world of freedom,a world where wealth distribution is not un-balanced,a world without corporations who control economy,a world without opression and violence.If this is the common accepted idea of a better world for everybody,why is it not so?why doesn’t everybody work and struggle to build this “better world” if this would deffinitely be better for everybody?Why are the people building the corporations still doing that?why do the people who opress other people are still doing that?Why do people still want to get incredibly rich at the expense of other people?Why do common criminals are still attached to their practice?. The problem is the term “everybody”.Not everybody thinks of a better world within the common accepted idea of a better world.Not everybody thinks about the world and in fact,those who think about the world actually think about themselves and how they would want the world to be. The overall perspective is usually a false one, built upon personal references and common accepted ideas,people judge and act according to personal desires,permanent desires,momentary desires.

Thinking of a system in which the world could function,be it hierarchic or anarchic means thinking about a way for everybody to coexist.Throughout history people thought of systems in which the world could function.Probably, each system was conceived to serve this idea of “a better world”. Somehow,every time things evolved in such way that this ideal world form was never reached. People found a way to use any kind of system in their own interest.Everytime,we started seeking for the problem within the concept of the system. Outside of ourselves.( just now, Marx’s communist doctrine is being re-thought and there were always accusations that it was misinterpreted).The capitalist system didn’t seem to be a good solution either.There is also the proposal of anarchy as a system but for me,the possiblity of anarchy ends with conflicting interests.And conflicts of interests could be avoided if everybody would want the same thing.On a large scale,history proved this impossible.And I think of the human being as something complex,beyond “good” and “bad”,with unpredictable impulses.I think of the human society as still being ruled by the law of the jungle: only the smartes and strongest survive .With all the fabrications of modern civilization,it still goes down to that. Power is never equaly shared.People’s desire to control and dominate cannot be controled,neither by law,nor by education.A common idea is that educated people are” better people” in the same sense of “better world” –people who want the “better world” , the common idea of a better world . The affirmation stands to some extent but then there are huge counter-examples (let’s think of Heidegger or the very rich,educated children of very rich,educated families owning banks and corporations). It only makes me think of the subjectiveness of this “better world” and that everything has to do with perspective.

I think there is no such thing as a perfect system that would allow everybody to fit in and fulfill everybody’s desires.I think we shouldn’t be looking for this system.I think this is exactly the problem,the desire for an external solution.This shifts responsibility from yourself to the “system”.You have to change “the system”.We always wanted to “think big” . To change the world as if it was in one’s power or as if it should be. Let’s think of examples of people who wanted to change the world and also had the power to do so. Most of them were conquerors and dictators. I think the only thing you can change and you should want to change is you, your attitude towards the world,to expand the way in which you can understand it. To give up the desire to control “the other”,even to “make him better” since you shouldn’t “make” anyone anything, people should only “become”, through their own will and their own judgment. All attempts to think of systems in which the world could function were faced with the unpredictability of human behaviour,with the unpredictability of human desires –even if the majority of desires can be controled –like in the consummerist system we live in,where they are amplified and shaped by the market - ,the desire to control cannot be controled. The very idea of validating your thought and proving it right at all costs has to do with the desire to control.Therefore I believe in thinking small, on a small scale,on a personal scale,doing your work of understanding the shape of things and taking whatever you want from that instead of trying to shape them.

experimental musical instruments

An experimental musical instrument (or custom-made instrument) is a musical instrument that modifies or extends an existing instrument or class of instruments. Some are created through simple modifications, such as cracked drum cymbals or metal objects inserted between piano strings in a prepared piano. Some experimental instruments are created from household items like a homemade mute for brass instruments such as bathtub plugs. Other experimental instruments are created from electronic spare parts, or by mixing acoustic instruments with electric components.

The instruments created by the earliest builders of experimental musical instruments, such as Luigi Russolo (1885–1947), Harry Partch (1901–1974), and John Cage (1912–1992), were not well received by the public at the time of their invention. Even mid-20th century builders such as Ivor Darreg, Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry did not gain a great deal of popularity. However, by the 1980s and 1990s, experimental musical instruments gained a wider audience when they were used by bands such as Einstürzende Neubauten and Neptune.

Experimental musical instruments are made from a wide variety of materials, using a range of different sound-production techniques. Some of the simplest instruments are percussion instruments made from scrap metal, like those created by German band Einstürzende Neubauten. Some experimental hydraulophones have been made using sewer pipes, plumbing fittings.[1]

Since the late 1960s, many experimental musical instruments have incorporated electric or electronic components, such as Fifty Foot Hose 1967-era homemade synthesizers, Wolfgang Flür and Florian Schneider's playable electronic percussion pads, and Future Man's homemade drum machine made out of spare parts and his electronic Synthaxe Drumitar.

Some experimental musical instruments are created by luthiers, who are trained in the construction of string instruments. Some custom made string instruments are employed with three bridges[2], instead of the usual two (counting the nut as a bridge). By adding a third bridge, one can create a number of unusual sounds reminiscent of chimes, bells or harps[3][4][5][6] A 'third bridge instrument' can be a "prepared guitar" modified with an object — for instance, a screwdriver — placed under the strings to act as a makeshift bridge, or it can be a custom made instrument.

One of the first guitarists who began building instruments with an extra bridge was Fred Frith. Guitarist and composer Glenn Branca has created similar instruments which he calls harmonic guitars or mallet guitars. Since the 1970s, German guitarist and luthier Hans Reichel has created guitars with third-bridge-like qualities.

restored behaviour 2

Restored behaviour can be understood processualy by examining the rehearsal process: how the single behaved behaviours of ordinary living are made into the twice-behaved behaviours of art, ritual and other performative genres.
A person performing recovers his own self only by going out of himself and meeting the others (audience) by entering in a social field.
In personal terms, restored behaviour is “me behaving as I am somenone else or “me in another state of being/feeling”
Earlier rehearsals and/or performances quickly become the reference points, the building blocks of performances. Useful recollections are not of “how it was” but of how we used to it”
The workshop-rehearsal process is the basic machine for the restoration of the behaviour.
Phases:
1. Breaking the performance recistance, starting from zero level
2. Initiaton or transition: developing new or restoring old behaviour (But so called new behaviour is really the rearangement of old behaviour or the enactment of old behavior in new settings.
3. Reintegration – The restored behavior is practices till becomes the second nature.
4. Public performance

restored behaviour 1

Performance is restored behavior. Rehearsal functions to build a score, and this score is a “ritual by contract” fixed behaviour that everyone participants agrees to do. The core can pe changed because it is not a natural event. But a model of individual and collective choice. Existing as “second nature”, restored behavior is always subject to revision. This “secondness” combines negativity and subjonctivity. Restored behaviour could be “me behaving like someone else” or “me in a different state of mind/being”
Performance is restored behaviour. Performance means: never for the first time!
In all kind of performances a certain thereshold is crossed. And if it isn’t, performance fails.
On the stage something happens with the performer and he is no longer himself, he starts to restore strips of reality (of the of his reality, his perception of reality).

indetermination, ambiguity in society

social life presents an almost endless variety of finely distinguishable situations an quite an array of grossly different ones. It contains arenas of continous competitions. It proceeds in a context of ever-shifting set of persons, changing moments in time, altering situations and partially improvised interactions. established rulez, customs, and symbolic frameworks exists, but they operate in the precence of areas of indeterminacy, of ambiguity, of uncertaninty, and manipulability.
Order never fully takes over, nor could it.
Common symbols, customary behaviours, role expectations, rules categories, ideas and ideologies, rituals and formalities shared by actors do exist and frame mutual communication and action.
Fixing and framing of social reality is itself a process or a set of process.
Structure is ever the ever-to-be repeated achivement of regularization.
However tight the rules, in their application there is always a certain range of maneuver, of openess, of choice, of interpretation,, af alteration, of tampering, of reversing, of transforming. (Moore)

Boîte-en-valise

Assembled between 1935-41, Boîte-en-valise is a "traveling museum" of 69 works by Marcel Duchamp that include Fountain, Large Glass, Broyeuse de chocolat, Why Not Sneeze Rose Sélavy, Tu m', Paris Air, Pliant de voyage, 3 Stoppages Etalon, Bride, Comb, and others.

Duchamp's aim was "to reproduce the paintings and the objects he liked and collect them in a space as small as possible."

If the readymade is that object which should be "a work without an artist to make it," the objects in the Boîte-en-valise upset the concept of the readymade by their quality of being remade readymades....

social drama

social dramas sint compuse din patru momente:
1. ruptura (aparitia acelor momente care creaza dezchilibrul)
2. criza (distrugerea ordinii existente)
3. redresarea (eforturile, reale si simbolice de a reface ordinea)
4. reintegrarea (actele care marcheaza intrarea intr-o noua ordine)

social dramas intervin in grupuri unite de valori si interese comune, care includ persoane cu o origine comuna sau considerata ca atare. principalii lor actori sint acele persoane pentru care grupul ce face obiectul respectivei actiuni dramatice are o mare valoare (victor turner)

patafizica

Was ist pataphysik?Ce este patafizica?Cred ca cea mai mai buna definitie este data de scriitorul Alfred Jarry,in cartea a doua a romanului neo stiintific,”Faptele si opiniile doctorului Faustroll”,:”patafizica este stiinta solutiilor imaginare,care acorda simbolic lineamentelor proprietatilor obiectelor descrise prin virtualitatea lor”.La aceasta definiste mai este adaugat un argument in plus,:”patafizica este stiinta ce se supra-adauga metafizicii si se intinde dincolo de metafizica,tot cat acesta se intinde dincolo de fizica”.

Ea propune o reflexie profunda asupra universului paralel,este o stiinta care terorizeaza deconstructia realului si construierea lui la modul absurd.Acest termen odata descoperit a influnetat de-a lungul timpului scriitorii suprarealisti dar si teatrul contemporan.

Colegiul de Patafizica a fost creat pentru studiera problemelor celor mai importante ale universului,univers pe care Faustroll il defineste “cel care este propria exceptie”.Colegiul a admis spate propozitii fundamentale ale patafizicii.

1.Patafizica este stiinta acestui domeniu ce se intinde dincolo de metafizica;ea depaseste metafizica atat cat aceasta depasteste fizica-in toate sensurile ad libitum.

2.Patafizica este stiinta particularului,a legilor ce guverneaza exceptiile

3.Patafizica este stiinta solutiilor imgainare.

4.Pentru ea toate sunt acelasi lucru.

5Patafizica este de alura imperturabila.

6.Totul este “patafizic”,totusi,putini oameni pun constiincios patafizica in practica

7.Dincolo de ea nu este nimica.Patafizica este instanta suprema.

HIdden Knowledge

Apparatus for identification and assessment of specific interests and knodge of an individual comprising a display medium, projection screen or television for example, and an image generator, such as a slide projector, for presenting to a testee, for immediate recognition of color only, a series of word-color combinations in rapid order, the projector being adapted to present slides in selected sequence to prevent memory recognition and sequential color repetition, and an elapsed time recording mechanism for recording the testee's response time for recognition of the color presented with the potential interference factor of specific interest and/or knowledge of the word image simultaneously presented.
