Anatomy and histology is the study of the structure of living things. Your introduction to the area is through the study of cell structure (histology) and the basic tissue of mammalian biology and musculo-skeletal anatomy. In senior year we divide your studies into four disciplines. You will study topographical anatomy (bones, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins); neuroanatomy (anatomy and organisation of the nervous system); histology (microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues) and embryology (development of an embryo from fertilisation to foetus stage). Dissection plays a part.
Science graduates who major in anatomy and histology are employed in universities, the CSIRO, hospitals and pathology laboratories, often specialising in electron microscopy or histochemistry. Recent graduates have also become teachers or are employed in the scientific equipment industry.

Elizabeth Rooney and Rosie O'Donnell attend Family Equality Council's 'Night At The Pier' at Pier 60 on May 7, 2018 in New York City.
The third time's the charm for Rosie O'Donnell.
On Monday, the 56-year-old actress confirmed to People magazine that she's engaged to Elizabeth Rooney, a 33-year-old police officer and Army veteran, after a year-long courtship.
O'Donnell and Rooney went public as a couple in November 2017, and have been in a long-distance relationship with O'Donnell living in New York and Rooney in Boston.
Rooney is more than 20 years younger than O'Donnell, with O'Donnell admitting that sometimes fans confuse her new fiancee with her 20-year-old daughter Chelsea.
O'Donnell noted Rooney is not fazed by their age difference.
O'Donnell has been married twice before. In 2004, she wed Kelli Carpenter, but they separated in 2007. She was later married to Michelle Rounds from 2012 to 2015. Rounds died in 2017 of an apparent suicide.

Crowning the hills of the Black Forest encircling Baden-Baden, the three castles once defended the ruling house of Baden's most prized territory. Today, their ruins offer marvellous views of the breathtaking countryside.
The Gothic style gateway of the lower castle takes you to the original Hohenbaden Old Castle, the Oberburg.
Hohenbaden Old Castle (Altes Schloss Hohenbaden) is one of the oldest possessions of the margraves of Baden – with origins that go back to the 12th century. The oldest part of the complex, the Oberburg (upper castle) is built on a crest on the southwestern side of the Battert hill. The newer Unterburg (lower castle) was expanded on the orders of Margrave Bernhard I in the late 14th century. The impressive Bernhardsbau, the main building in the castle's lower bailey (courtyard), bears testimony to the heightened importance of the margraves of Baden. In 1479, however, they moved to the more comfortable Neues Schloss (new palace) in the valley. The old castle fell into disuse, and was left in ruins after a fire in the late 16th century. Interest in Hohenbaden Old Castle was reawakened in the 19th century, when Baden-Baden became a popular spa destination. Today, the ruin, with its fabulous view, is one of the most attractive destinations in the northern Black Forest.
The immense ruins of Hohenbaden Old Castle still display the grandeur of the former residence of the margraves of Baden.

What Happens When You Help Others?
It's a joy to help others, even though not everyone realizes the positive effects doing so has on their physical and mental health. Those who are naturally inclined to offer kindness can testify to how good acts of benevolence make them feel. But be warned. The sense of satisfaction you get from helping to make a difference in the life of others can be addictive.
The act of giving activates pleasure-related areas of the brain and causes a release of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. These three hormones contribute to pleasure sensations in the body. Those feelings are some of the pleasurable rewards of being kind. There's also
evidence to back up the belief that helping others positively impacts mental health and overall wellbeing.
What Does It Mean To Help Others?
Helping means giving something or being kind to others. It's an unselfish and compassionate act that expects nothing in return. Some people are naturally wired to do good. Others need a little nudge to show generosity. The benefits remain the same regardless.
You don't need to perform extravagant or costly acts. Doing simple things for your loved ones or volunteering in the community can have a huge impact on the lives of the recipients. Examples of simple acts of generosity include helping an elderly neighbor carry her groceries or serving food to the less fortunate at a community soup kitchen.
7 Ways Helping Others Can Benefit Your Mental Health
True acts of generosity are done for the sole purpose of making someone's day or circumstances better. While you shouldn't expect to benefit from your kindness, acts of charity can boost mental health in these ways:
1. Prevents isolation
Mental health experts warn against isolating yourself away from family members, friends, or the community. Whether you're keeping away because of the COVID-19 pandemic or because you're feeling stressed out, it can affect your mental health. In fact, prolonged social isolation causes feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and depression.
Performing acts of service outside your home means you'll need to get out of the house. Going with a group to help clean up the neighborhood or taking goodies to residents of a homeless shelter puts you in contact with people. The more often you interact with the outside world, the more socially connected and less lonely you'll feel.
2. Promotes feelings of well-being
The concept of "well-being" refers to your mental state at any given time. How you feel, think, behave, and function has a lot to do with your sense of well-being. Stress, a negative mindset, anxiety, and depression can interfere with good well-being.
There's evidence that performing acts of kindness has positive effects on well-being. Researchers confirmed that random acts of kindness can boost the well-being of not only the giver but also the receiver. Imagine how one generous act a day can leave you feeling persistently satisfied and more optimistic about life.
3. Enhances your mood
Have you ever done something good for someone when you're feeling down? It's difficult to offer help when you're not in the best of mood. But getting out of your zone to provide assistance shifts your attention from your worries to the activity at hand.
You may notice you feel less stressed. In a scientific report on health, happiness, and helping others, the researchers noted that the benefits of generosity are especially clear when the givers, themselves, are experiencing stress or hardship.
4. Increases your sense of self-worth
Poor self-image, low self-esteem, and a sense of unworthiness can negatively affect your relationships and reduce your quality of life. Those who feel unworthy may engage in relationships with people who bully, control, or take advantage of them. These experiences can create stress and anxiety, deepen feelings of unworthiness, or trigger depression.
Contributing to the lives of strangers can help you to feel needed, respected, appreciated, and more self-confident. Witnessing the expressions of satisfaction and joy on the faces of those who benefit from your kindness might add meaning to your life.
5. Helps you cope
High resilience and social support enable you to better cope with life challenges or mental health disorders. Without them, many people resort to poor coping or self-harming behaviors like impulsive shopping sprees, random unprotected sex, gambling, alcohol drinking, or drug abuse. The goal is to try and feel better or numb out emotional pain.
In reality, maladaptive ways of coping with issues like stress, anxiety, or depression can lead to substance abuse and addiction. Helping your loved ones or friends with a task engages you in activities that are productive. You'll feel happy afterward instead of that sense of guilt and shame often associated with poor coping behaviors.
6. Can Prevent depression
Research indicates that consistently helping others leads to less depression, better health, and longevity, among other benefits. Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders next to anxiety. Symptoms include mood changes, sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness.
Depressed people tend to isolate themselves and lose interest in pleasurable activities. Getting outdoors to perform acts of kindness exposes you to daylight and connects you to people. Sunlight has been shown to regulate mood and sleep. Meanwhile, increased social connection reduces isolation and loneliness and provides an overall sense of well-being.
7. Gives a sense of purpose
People tend to be happier with themselves and experience better relationships when they feel their life means something. Even as an adult, you may struggle to find the meaning of life. You wonder if you're a misfit or whether you're living with purpose. These thoughts can create doubts or leave you feeling unhappy and dissatisfied with your existence. Helping family members get over their difficulties or continuously providing charitable services might make you feel as if this is your life's purpose.
Happy to Help?
Yes! That's usually the passionate response of those who are familiar with the joy that comes from giving. Don't be afraid of being a do-gooder. When you act sincerely for the benefit of others, you pay it forward and nurture your mental health all at once.

Project Big Picture is an excuse to cement inequality in English football
Tom WigginsFreelance journalist and Brighton & Hove Albion season-ticket holderTuesday 13 Oct 2020 2:15 pm
A newly crowned cabal of 'long-term shareholders' would get special voting rights (Picture: Paul Ellis/Pool via Getty Images)
Football clubs across the country are struggling to make ends meet, thanks to a continued ban on supporters in the stands.
So a proposed £350million rescue package from the top teams looks like just what's needed to stop the landscape of English football being altered forever.
But look beyond the big numbers included in the proposal, which is led by foreign-owned clubs Liverpool and Manchester United, and you'll find just another plan to cement inequality at the top of the game.
'Project Big Picture' would constitute a wide-ranging shake-up of professional football that, on the surface at least, looks to close the vast financial gap between the Premier League and the rest.
As well as an immediate cash injection to plug the gaps left by matches that have been either scrapped entirely or played behind closed doors, the scheme suggests sharing 25% of the top flight's future TV revenue with the Championship, League One and League Two.
Considering the broadcast rights were most recently sold for over £9billion, that would be a significant increase on the £140million that the Premier League currently contributes in so-called 'Solidarity Payments'.
Of course, this uncharacteristic generosity would come with some serious caveats. A newly crowned cabal of 'long-term shareholders' – which includes 'the big six' clubs Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal, plus Everton, Southampton and West Ham – would get special voting rights, giving them extra power to pass or veto future decisions that could affect the whole game.
The country's bigger clubs have previous for this. The Premier League only exists as a result of a breakaway that was designed to funnel more money and influence to the more well-supported clubs – the ones that already benefit from increased gate receipts, commercial revenues and, as a result, prize money.
And what's wrong with that, you might ask. If they're the ones that command the eyeballs, shouldn't they be remunerated accordingly? But West Ham were almost relegated last season and it wasn't all that long ago that Southampton were playing in League One.
It's no surprise, then, that 'Project Big Picture' has supposedly been in the works since 2017 – the year after the Foxes' against-all-odds triumph (Picture: Michael Regan/Getty Images)
Championship club Blackburn Rovers have won the Premier League more recently than four of the nine proposed long-term shareholder clubs. Meanwhile, Southampton and West Ham have never been champions.
So, quite memorably, have Leicester City, who are currently in the Premier League but haven't been put forward as long term shareholders. It's no surprise, then, that 'Project Big Picture' has supposedly been in the works since 2017 – the year after the Foxes' against-all-odds triumph. The message here is quite clear: never again can a club from outside the elite be allowed to gatecrash the party.
Another condition of the proposal would be to trim the Premier League down from 20 to 18 teams, and scrap Parachute Payments – the wrong-headed system that helps clubs relegated from the Premier League continue to pay their players top-flight wages, despite the squad demonstrably not being good enough to earn them.
The removal of Parachute Payments makes a lot of sense, both in terms of better distribution of that money and improving the competitive balance of the lower leagues. But taking this cash and chucking it at the problem isn't the answer, particularly with Championship clubs' tendency to recklessly splurge on wages and agents' fees in the chase for promotion.
Combine that with the reduced size of the Premier League and football's promised land starts to look like even more of a closed shop. Even those that do secure or retain their seats at the top table will have their position as second-class members enshrined in law.
Where would the proposal leave the likes of Sheffield United, Brighton or Burnley? Even under the current arrangements these sensibly run clubs, with large local fanbases, start each season just hoping to stay up.
With more power and money being hoarded at the top, their dreams of ever challenging for any honours would pretty much go up in smoke, especially with the League Cup also being scrapped as part of the plans.
We've seen the big six use their status to take a greater share of the available resources in the past, successfully pushing for a greater share of international TV cash back in 2018.

Backing this up with increased influence in decision-making is only going to go one way. If these 'long-term shareholders' are given the power to veto takeovers at other clubs, how do you think they're likely to vote if a sugar daddy appears on the scene promising to turn one of their rivals into a new superpower?
'Project Big Picture' has its benefits and the potentially transformative redistribution of TV money shouldn't just be dismissed, but the last thing an already skewed sport needs is to concentrate even more power with the game's 1%.
Fortunately, even some of the Premier League clubs that would benefit from the plan have expressed their unease about it since it was unveiled, and those outside of the select group would be very unlikely to vote it through.
Using the current state of emergency as a bribe to push it through shows just how greedy and out-of-touch those at the top of the pyramid really are.

There It Is är ett album av James Brown släppt på skivmärket Polydor i juni 1972. Både den jazziga "King Heroin" och tvådelade "Public Enemy No. 1" handlar om de förödande verkningar heroin har. "Talking Loud and Saying Nothing" skrevs i en tid då Brown var sur på en hel del folk, och det smittade antagligen av sig på den låten. Albumet ses som ett av hans starkare från 1970-talet. Det nådde plats #60 på amerikanska albumlistan Billboard 200  1972.

Låtar på albumet
"There It Is, Parts 1 & 2"  (Brown/Pinckney) - 5:50

All that was previously known about this exhibition was that the photographer was the winner of the Michael Ormerod Travel Photography competition. Deciding first to look at the images and then read the text, it was easy to make your way around the room.
The space itself does not provide a great exhibition area during the day. Skylights letting in way too much direct sun, it is almost impossible to get a good look at the images. Ducking down to avoid reflections you can almost get an idea of the photograph. Once the sun disappears I am sure the room transforms; although the thought of looking at images under fluorescent strip lights isn't appealing either.
Subjects fill the frame. Tightly squeezed in hands and wrinkled expressions. It feels painful and sad. Something is wrong throughout, a displacement or unknowing. The faded family photographs hint to times past and people out of reach. An extremely close shot of a post surgery body brings the feeling up to a boil. The tones are muted and quiet.
My favourite image turns out to be the poster too. Tying into the themes of unknowing, a woman's face is completely obscured by smoke. Her slouched frame is backlit by bright natural light. It reminds me of seeing dinner ladies on a tab break, a weariness that can't be spoken. It is beautifully composed, a moment that couldn't be recreated. It relays the atmosphere, or how I imagine that to be.
Once reading the text it is apparent the photographer has travelled to meet physically distant family and photograph their lives. "I want you to keep looking at them and maybe then you'll discover that everyone is living their own battle." – Sonia, Photographer." An interesting sentiment delivered through the text, expressing personal family pain. I am glad to have gathered my own thoughts of the images before reading the intentions of the author.
Held in Bristol's Arnolfini gallery, running from 27th September to 24th December 2017. A packed gallery space in the early afternoon of Saturday. So many visitors there was little room to get near the pieces, never mind study them. People drifting in and out; hanging around long enough gave the opportunity to sneak closer. A varied body of work, tapestry, ceramic, sculpture. All bold and intricate. Loud and heavy.
My first visit to the gallery, a high-ceilinged, clean and beautiful building. The space lent itself to the exhibition well. Allowing a steady flow of observers to climb the stairs and linger.
The amount of work on display felt almost overwhelming. Not in an anxiety inducing way; more the feeling of standing in front of a really great wedding buffet. So much to see and absorb. My favourite piece, Death of a Working Hero, was in the first room directly on the left. The busiest space by far it required a second look.
"Death of a Working Hero was inspired by the ceremony of the blessing of the banners in Durham Cathedral. This moving ritual is part of the annual Durham Miners' Gala where trade-union banners are paraded through the streets accompanied by brass bands. The blessing in the glorious setting of the cathedral accompanied by mournful music seemed to me to be a funeral for a certain sort of man." Grayson Perry.
Perhaps a Northern bias created by being born in an area once rich in industrial power, slowly stripped throughout the years. Still feeling surrounded by a mourning of what once was and a city rebuilding. The landscape was familiar and personal. The perspective made me think of LS Lowry, intricate windows and church spires. An image made of many layers, each individually considered and built upon. The tapestry itself is rich in colour and skill. Heavy and beautiful. Mournful expressions and sharp cheekbones.
Regardless of my geographic upbringing I think this piece carries weight. Fitting the style of the banners the scene is sad but strong. A refusal to stand down.
A full on, unapologetic display of work executed beautifully. Try to catch it on a quiet day and spend the afternoon.

The MAD MOVIE RANTER
Tag: Oblivion
THE WATER DIVINER REVIEW
April 10, 2015 by pmbayobale, posted in Best and worst films, Cinema, Drama, Film essay, Hollywood, Movie review, Uncategorized, War movies, World War One, WW1
A simply divine debut from Russell Crowe.
Engaging, heartfelt and definitely one of the better films I've seen.
So what's it about, mate? An Australian man (Russell Crowe) travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli to try and locate his three missing sons.
Not the best title for a movie. And I could hear a few people asking, "Why is it called that?"
Russell Crowe plays Connor, a farmer who has a gift for finding water.
Through a series of flashbacks, we delve into his background as he fights the bureaucracy and red tape to find his three missing sons who never returned from the horrors of Gallipoli.
An impressive debut from a talented actor. I had high hopes and the film certainly delivered the majority of them.
The cinematography was fantastic. Not bad for a directing debut if you can get Andrew (Lord of The Rings) Lesnie on board.
The beaches of Gallipoli and the Turkish mosques were captured beautifully.
The pace was perfect. I was engrossed and switched on for the 112 minute length. All helped by a great cast, great acting and a good story.
Jai Courtney added a sincerity to the role of Lt Colonel Cyril Hughes. It made for a refreshing change from the endless hard man roles he seems to do these days. It was good to see him actually act. Even with a bad moustache.
Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace/Oblivion) was very good. I may have a little screen crush on her but she played the vulnerable widow well.
There was good chemistry between her and Crowe which made their inevitable pairing a little more endearing and watchable.
Dan Wyllie was very good as the snobby bureaucrat that was Captain Charles Brindley. Forever a thorn in Connor's side.
An all too familiar and painfully accurate representation of the British influence on the Ottoman Empire.
His rant about the significance of a soldier's death really hit home.
Yilmaz Erdogan was superb as Major Hassan. I don't know how much of the film was dramatized BUT I couldn't believe how this man still wanted to help Connor after his treatment by the ANZAC soldiers.
His answer; "He was the only father who came looking". Remarkable.
I could feel my loyalties divided as we watch Hassan see his country being torn apart. The figures about the loss of life on both sides were shocking.
Cem Yilmaz and Erdogan also made a memorable pairing as the Turkish captives. It was great to see them as fully rounded characters and not just as one dimensional representations of "The Enemy".
Dylan Georgiades managed to do something that not a lot of child actors do and that is to not annoy the hell out of me. A charming performance.
In between Crowe's challenging ordeal to honour a promise, we follow Kurylenko as she must fight against the binds of reputation and family. Defiant to accept her husband's death by the community and ignoring the advances of her polygamous brother-in-law to re-marry.
To be honest, I would have been happy to see Kurylenko's subplot fleshed out a little more but it certainly got the point across.
The battle sequences were hardly groundbreaking but they still captured the brutality of it all and made for some heartbreaking viewing.
Russell Crowe was (to be expected) fantastic. A charismatic lead that delivers yet again.
However, it's not all perfect.
Isabel Lucas' (Transformers) character was a little unnecessary. Apart from being the local prostitute staying in the hotel, she didn't do much else or contribute anything to the story. A wasted character if I'm honest.
The flashbacks were key and added to the story. However, I found the heavy use of CGI spoiled a riveting sequence in which Connor saves his boys from a sandstorm.
Luckily, the endearing relationship between Crowe and the boys managed to reprieve the terrible special effects.
There was also a scene in which a secret rendezvous at a Turkish bath with Connor, Cemal and Major Hassan came off unintentionally comical. The celebratory song and dance number was a little too cheesy for my liking.
Some may also argue that Connor's sixth sense is a little hammy and farfetched. There isn't any explanation into how Connor can find water or why he has the recurring dream sequences in which he can see his son alive.
It's not that sort of film and sometimes you just have to believe and hope. A parental instinct is a bond in itself that goes beyond explanation. I didn't let that spoil the film for me. If anything, it added an extra depth.
As the film came to a close, there were some revelations along the way. However, I don't want to tell you too much about the story. Some moments were predictable but they still hit home and made for a teary eyed finale.
It's not without its imperfections BUT it surprised me that considering this film was a commemoration of a battle 100 years ago, relationships between Greece and Turkey are still rocky as hell.
I would certainly recommend you take the time to invest in this story of one man's promise to bring his boys home.
A riveting, heart-breaking and promising debut.
Bravo, Mr. Crowe.

BIRDMAN REVIEW
January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 by pmbayobale, posted in Best and worst films, Cinema, Drama, Film essay, Hollywood, Movie review, Uncategorized
It didn't make me fly for the exit. Strange, bizarre, funny and different. A breath of fresh air.
A promising start for a new year in film. Hopefully.
A somewhat slow opening did leave me a little anxious after the endless hype. So much so that two people left within 15 minutes!
BUT it was merely adjusting you to Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu's (Babel) style and setting up the pieces.
Preparation for what would lie in store. A darkly comical acting tour de force as one man descends into madness.
So what is it about? A washed-up actor Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) who once played an iconic superhero must overcome his ego and family trouble as he mounts a Broadway play in a bid to reclaim his past glory.
At first glance, the washed up actor shaking off his superhero status and Michael Keaton probably hit home a little too well. BUT what a resurgent return from the Dark Knight. It is not as if he really left. Come on, he was in The Other Guys and Need for Speed (The less we say about that one, the better).
When Keaton's character was first introduced, I felt he was drowned out by the rather animated and incredibly talented supporting cast. His performance didn't seem to justify the hype. BUT by the end, oh boy, was I wrong! He was remarkable. A powerhouse performance. Vulnerable in one shot, volatile and violent the next.
The Broadway play setting was a perfect platform to unearth personal problems, dig up rivalries and delve into fractious relationships and affairs. The rehearsals may seem a little repetitive but as we delve more into each character's issues and flaws, it brings a different dimension and take on that same bit of dialogue and scene. Expertly captured and cleverly written.
This all helped make this simple dark comedy drama turn into something so much more. Riggan has to deal with the stress of the play as well as his inner demon. Taking the form of an avarian comic book superhero with the voicing style of Beetlejuice. Brilliant.
I loved how Innaritu incorporated the "super real" fictional theatre scene into the real world. The meta-textual references were brilliant and really added to the film. The digs at the Avengers franchise and celebrities brought a little grin. The open criticisms in how people don't want to watch films with long drawn out philosophical talking and how they want big, dumb, action packed blockbusters was spot on!
The cinematography was superb. Emmanuel Lubezki manipulated the camera work and editing to make it appear like one continuous long take. It certainly kept things moving but the 119 minute length did feel a little long at the tooth in parts.
I wonder if Keaton incorporated some of his own troubles into the film. In one of Riggan's arguments with his "Birdman" alter ego who at this point harassing him to do another Birdman sequel, Riggan yells out, "That was 1992! Get over it!"Coincidentally, the year Batman Returns was released. Hmmm . . .
The supporting cast were fantastic. Consisting of the likes of the flirtatious Andrea Riseborough (Oblivion), the insecure Naomi Watts (The Impossible) and the snidey film critic hell bent on ruining Riggan's opening night, Lindsay Duncan (About Time).
Once Emma Stone (The Help) was given the screen time, she was (to be expected) very good as Riggan's drug addict daughter.
Amy Ryan (The Wire) was wasted in her small role. Not enough of her. She had good chemistry with Keaton and I felt more could have been made of the broken family dynamic. She didn't even interact with Stone's character at all. Merely popping in lulls after Riggan's meltdowns.
Zach Galifinakis (The Hangover) played a much more subdued role to what I was used to. He actually got to do a spot of acting as well as delivering the laughs.
BUT the main scene stealer that rivalled Keaton through out the film was Edward Norton (American History X). His portrayal of Mike was fantastic. Egotistical with a penchant for some improvised method acting. Constantly seeking attention and out to undo Riggan's work, undermining and offering "suggestions". I couldn't stop watching him. Scene stealing in almost every turn.
Without spoiling too much, Birdman does get a little random and bizarre in parts as you don't know how many of Riggan's encounters and altercations are actually happening.
The ending may split people. But for me I liked it. It was one of those that was open for interpretation. Something that appeared cut and dry but was it?
I mean, this is most definitely a mood piece. If you're in the mood for something a little different, then I recommend it. BUT if not, then maybe steer clear.
It's not without it's imperfections; a questionable pace and a slow opening, along with some irritating drum music did dampen things (BUT only a little). Seriously the drumming got on my nerves. It worked as Riggan reached breaking point, the drumming getting faster and faster as it drew to it's climax. BUT throughout, it was just racket.
However, once you get past that, it's a cleverly written multi-layered dark comedy drama that is fantastically acted by an incredible cast. A good piece of film-making that for a moment restored my faith in films.
BUT the more I think about that ending. This may change to a 4. So watch this space.

A one man band, Deuter blends acoustic and electronic instruments, ethnic influences, and sounds from nature. Deuter's spiritual quest has leaded him to India, where he lived on an ashram, studied Indian music, and recorded several albums. He presents a unique and intriguing blend of Eastern and Western styles.
His first recording, D, was released on Kuckuck in 1971, followed by "AUM" in 1972. These both albums are krautrock masterpieces, especially AUM. After, Deuter turned to a more new age style, more accessible, but less inspired.
Georg Deuter is a German born instrumentalist who has released more than sixty albums to date since beginning his musical journey back at the start of the early Seventies. These days he is mostly associated with New Age and meditation music, but at the very start of his career, his first few releases were frequently in a Krautrock mold, where rough-around-the-edges ethnic instrumentation blended with organ, electronics and both electric and acoustic guitar passages. His classic debut `D' from 1971 was comprised of schizophrenic and psychedelic sound collages, the follow up `Aum' a year later focused on a variety of shorter eastern-flavoured fragments with strong world music elements. Fortunately, 1976's `Celebration' was still quite a way from the placid New Age flavours he would eventually move in to, embracing a frequently acoustic hippie-folk vibe whilst still making time for experimental Krautrock-styles electronic and ethnic-laced drones.
The trio of the two part `Celebration of the Moment' that opens and closes the first side of the LP and the purposeful `Life is Love' are mostly contemplative flute ruminations crossed with vigorous acoustic guitar rambles that at least remain quite lo-fi enough to maintain just the tiniest trace of grit, pretty much a constant to all the acoustic playing throughout the album. But it's the eleven-plus minute ` Von Hohen Himmel Ein Leuchtendes Schweigen' that proves to be exceptional and completely intoxicating. A seeping and humming electronic drone consuming a blur of groaning chants and uplifting acoustic themes, it reminds of the best of the Krautrock-associated groups that blended ethnic elements with electronics and is truly one of the best pieces to appear on a Deuter album.
Side B's spontaneous `Grass Grows by Itself' initially opens with lightly trilling synth wisps over placid acoustic guitar strums and gradually emerging low-key groaning sitar strains before diverting into a sweetly joyous flute dance. The hypnotic chiming guitars flecked with delay of `Solitary Bird' briefly call to mind the classic Manuel Gottsching/Ashra works, soon joined by eerie wavering synths that hold just a hint of unease next to drifting flute drones. `Le Ciel est Bleu' is an experiment in cut-up harmonica and ringing sitar over glistening electronic programming, and the field recordings of nature that pepper the background of `Easy is Right' (almost reminding of Pink Floyd's `Cirrus Minor' off their classic `More' soundtrack!) close the disc behind spirited and toasty acid-folk guitar strums with just enough of a deliciously shambling manner to really nail the laid back summer vibe.
Deuter's third album may be gentle, but there's a massive difference between faceless, overly- pretty and pleasant New Age pap and intelligent, undemanding music that is meditative and full of personality and atmosphere. Truly the soundtrack to a hazy warm afternoon with its sunny and embracing vibe, `Celebration' is a very respectable and dignified work that still finds the time to carefully experiment within its affable acoustics.
An innovative artist who composed sound collages in the early Seventies built around experimental Krautrock-like mixes of electronics with ethnic elements on a rich variety of musical instruments from around the world, Georg Deuter began gradually moving towards a calmer, pleasing sound that would come to be identified with the emerging New Age styles of the early Eighties. Sure enough, 1982's `Cicada' offered mainly placid and thoughtful acoustic compositions with subtle keyboard enhancements, but there were still traces of the interesting longer pieces here and there proving precious and inspired. Credited here as Chaitanya Hari Deuter in line with his spiritual rebirth, the artist offers a soundtrack of soothing Eastern mysticism presented by flute, harp, acoustic guitar, sitar and the gentlest of synths.
Tiny trickles of synths unwind around breezy flute on opener `From Here to Here', a cosy and comforting theme that embraces the listener to begin the album. Much more interesting is the nine- minute `Light', where a hypnotic yet restrained sequencer loop, twinkling chimes and floating flute drifts around victorious rising synth themes, and it even lightly calls to mind the dreamier moments of Novalis, Mythos and early Eloy. The title track is another of the longer pieces running over six minutes (and the first half comes the closest to Deuter's early Krautrock flavours) with contemplative acoustic guitar gradually unveiling behind twitchy spacy bubbling synth ripple ambience with just a hint of Yes worked in, and `Sun on my Face' is a placid acoustic guitar, reaching sitar and delicate flute rumination to close the first side.
After a reprise of `From Here to Here' to open the second side, the crystalline synths, flute and acoustic guitar of `Sky Beyond Blue' could easily sit alongside the first few albums from Kitaro, and `Haiku' is a reflective awakening flute meditation with harp. The longer and predominantly electronic `Alchemy' is a blissful dreamscape of ringing chiming synths spirallng into infinity behind contemplative flute and an emerging groaning mantra. The album closes with a thoughtful and almost sombre ambient flute drone `Between Two Breaths'.
While it's in those early works like `D' and `Aum' that the real magic remains, Deuter can still be admired for a long series of tasteful, quietly intelligent and sumptuously performed ambient-related albums. His spiritual and creative inspiration permeates everything here, and `Cicada' works best as an unassuming, melodic and sweet background listen with a few little welcome surprises waiting to be discovered as well.
Georg Deuter is a German born instrumentalist who has released more than sixty albums to date since beginning his musical journey back at the start of the early Seventies. He is mostly associated with New Age and meditation music these days, but at the very start of his career, his first few releases were firmly in the Krautrock mold, where rough-around-the-edges ethnic instrumentation blended with organ, electronics and both electric and acoustic guitar passages. His classic 1971 debut `D' favoured lengthy psychedelic and avant-garde sound collages, whereas this follow up `Aum' a year later focused on a variety of shorter eastern-flavoured fragments (although the two sides of the vinyl run continuously together as suites of music) with strong world music elements. It's a different approach to his first disc, even holding a frequent dark ambience in several spots, yet it's no less captivating, and just as much a defining Krautrock work as that precious debut remains.
Opening with a storm crackle, `Phoenix' begins the first set with faraway acoustic strums, flighty recorder and field recordings of nature weaving together warmly, plodding bass and gentle percussion rising around eerie drones, groaning sitar, chant-like wavering voices and bubbling electronics. The second suite takes up the remaining first side, starting with maddening tribal-like drumming over a cold machine-like hum that turns oddly calming and soothing as it progresses, before moving through reverberating pristine slivers that pierce the air to finally culminate in grinding sitar strains.
`Soma' begins the third and final suite, taking up the entire twenty-one minute second side. Calming ocean waves lap behind spirited acoustic guitar ruminations, frantic driving percussion runs merge with droning electronics, pulsing bass and reaching electric guitar bursts weave through glacial ethereal hums. Crystalline chimes shimmer amongst rustling hand-percussion rapture until a final dance of sitar full of spiritual ecstasy brings the inner journey to a close.
Most of Deuter's Seventies and early Eighties albums would still offer intelligent and hypnotic compositions, but as that decade continued, he would gradually reign in the headier, lysergic Krautrock qualities, replacing them with calmer moods that would come to be associated with the then emerging New Age genre, even if they were still impeccably written and performed. But it's in these early works that the real magic remains, and with especially both `D' and `Aum' here, we experience a fractured glimpse of a thoughtful, inspired artist with a timeless musical vision.
Georg Deuter is a German born New Age instrumentalist who has released more than 60 albums to date since beginning his musical journey back at the start of the early Seventies. However, his debut album `D' in 1971 was a far cry from the placid and pleasing synth soundtracks he would later adopt, instead it's a pure daring Krautrock classic that sounds like no other album. Deuter's debut is comprised of a series of schizophrenic and psychedelic sound collages, mixing everything from electronic organ drones, acoustic and ethnic instrumentation with inventive production techniques for the time and avant-garde experimentations that are initially bewildering and disorientating, yet utterly fascinating and captivating, truly the result of an inspired artist with a reaching vision.
The surreal four part fifteen-minute `Babylon' is a fragmented and psychedelic work of beauty, a frequently ambient but often jarring and unpredictable soundscape. Pink Floyd- like brooding spacey guitars chime over a gentle cacophony of church bells, babies crying, machine-gun fire and soaring jets. Murmuring bass lurks behind distorting repetitive mantra-like guitar stabs, ethereal glistening organs rise and fall around backwards effect slivers and warping swallowing voices that float amongst cocooning deep space loneliness. This piece shares a similar defiant edge of anything goes that the early Vangelis albums had and the cosmic yet earthy ambience of Popul Vuh.
The rest of the first side contains the plodding `Der Turm/Fluchtpunkt', a compact but heady concoction of tabla beats, panning effects and wailing wordless siren calls, with eerie straining Gong-like glissando wisps and fuzzy guitar-fuelled chugging grooves to bring a Can-esque dirty stomp.
Frantic, heavy grinding sitar drones race through the ten minute opener of the second side `Krishna Eating Fish and Chips', gradually speeding up to become overwhelming, hypnotic and almost maddening. Around the bubbling atmospherics of `Atlantis', a mix of snaking hissing electronic drones, a drumming pattering of tabla-like beats, shimmering unearthly sighs and backwards effects truly sound like a duelling storm between Heaven and Hell. The opening passages of `Gammastrahlen-Lamm' emerge like a bad nightmarish trip, but piercing droning slices, chittering whispers and reverberating machine hum quickly gives way to a thoughtful and melancholic pulsing organ drift that ends up almost meditative and enveloping.
Take your pick - Is this Krautrock, avant-garde, progressive-electronic, world/ethnic music, psychedelic? The answer is purely none of the above and yet all these things at once and more. Despite its many freeform elements, `D' never collapses into manic, splintering and tuneless chaos, instead retaining a trace of subtle melodicism within its explorations, and despite a few moments that take on a `hippie' vibe, there's a constant restlessness, an intensity bubbling under throughout even the most mellow moments. Although the artist would later take his music in a very different, more sedate New-Age direction (which has endeared him to a great many fans around to the world to this very day, to which he should still receive respect for), this evocative, fragile little jewel is easily the equal of the early Seventies Krautrock-electronic hybrid albums such as `Atem', `Alpha Centauri' and `Irrlicht' from fellow German artists like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, and is just as ground- breaking and influential in its own little way.
An essential Krautrock release worthy of five stars.
The imaginative and thought provoking album title 'D' is an odd recording which has quite a few organ drones throughout. It's entirely instrumental with some distinctly Ash Ra Tempel similarities. There's also a fair amount of backward taping which always pleases my brain.
'Faust' like guitars are played on 'Babylon' giving a very Krautrock feel. Happily each track sounds relatively different from the last, even though there's the cheesy 'Krishna Eating Fish' track where the white guy gets hold of an Eastern instrument (Sitar) and waffles about aimlessly, strumming nothing in particular and endeavoring to break the shackles of a homeland he wants no part of. Bah! I hate that. Interestingly, he was born 10 days before the awful bombing of Dresden. And uncannily, like Edgar Froese who was born on the same day as the D-Day Landings on June 6th June '44.
There's too may other good German bands out there to bother with this if truth be told. It's too soft and flat to merit anything more than an average score. Perhaps the exception is 'Atlantis' which is far more experimental with its 'Moolah' and 'Zoviet France' reversed phasing. A full album of this and I'd have been more than happy.
Call me 'Shallow Hal' - but this loses a star due to the front cover. I mean, come on - would you hand this over on a first date to the woman of your dreams?
Less experimental, more focused song writing, great results!
Stepping aside from his earlier electronic experimentations, Deuter shows an unknown dexterity for creative and serious musical composition. In "Ecstasy", the biggest surprise are its early rennaisance and baroque musical figures, alongside very "electronic" compositions.
For starters do not mistake this work by its art cover, name or the future "new age" music, Deuter will pursue without rest, in posterior projects. Here in this work, the freshness of new found methods of expression, that are both novel and original, express themselves with a very tasteful, balance of what may seem, at close distance, as opposed goals, turns out succesfully, due to the precise dosage of creative, yet un-pretentious "classical music" structures, rendered into form with a match of "electronic" synths that instead of emulating the sound of acoustic instruments, catches their spirit with analogue synth sounds, which greatest attribute, is not faking the original acoustic sounds, but "catching" their inner "depth" and sonic timbre.
So,.. Really inspired songs that move around very "progressive" electronic pieces, counterpointed by classical music early structures, into "new age" like-environments. Pulling it off, with innovative but "focused" musical composition and a "measured" but inspired performance.
****4 "A jewel in Deuter's discography, therefore a "jewel" for Prog audiophiles, electronic and not", PA stars.
The second album by Deuter, Aum, sees the composer embracing influences from Indian music and incorporating them into a largely bland New Age framework. Penultimate track Susani is the odd man out here, exploring as it does dark ambient realms which remind me a little of some of Brian Eno's work later in the decade, but it's not quite enough to justify the tepid, featureless, uninspired material that surrounds it. Nor does Deuter's use of ideas from Indian music ever quite come across as authentic; in fact, it feels like a gimmick. The album isn't outright incompetent, but at the same time I can't strongly recommend it.
Far more lively and varied than the tranquil New Age material that would come to dominate his career, Deuter's debut album is a good but not fantastic contribution to the krautrock scene, with a bunch of chaotic musical ideas thrown in but nothing memorable enough to call to mind five minutes after listening to it. Probably the most interesting thing about it is that this is a one- man project, with multi-instrumentalist Deuter playing every instrument you hear - but that said, there's plenty of similar experiments of this sort out there, and this one is hardly the best. It's by no means terrible, but at the same time it isn't anything to get too excited about. It's spacey experimental krautrock full of odd noises. Even in 1971, that had become a cliche.
Deuter follows up his debut album `D' with a change of scene and spiritual inspiration; travelling to India to make music had a profound effect. This time, armed with a 4- trackmachine and a customsfriendly EMS suitcase synth, Deuter lays down an album of light meditative beauty. The parallels with Popol Vuh's music are audible, although one is quite prepared to give either the benefit of the doubt as to who influenced who...it was everyone's `trip' to go to India in those days.
The album flows from start to finish in and out of bright sitar-led pieces, beautifully recorded ocean sounds, and spacious guitar figures, underpinned by the aforementionned synth providing electronic drones and decoration here and there.
For 1972 this is incredibly ahead of it's time, it has a joyful spiritual centre a long way from the cliched wallpaper `New Age' music would eventually become. If you're looking for a rich, texturally beautiful late night album this might well be the one. There is a lightness and flow which add up toa sumptuous whole and never is it less than stimulating and captivating. The spirit of peace that Deuter found in India (to the extent that he found his own guru, and was able to use his dwelling as a studio) shines through on this sparkling album, which like the cover sounds blue, oceanic and genuinely blissful.
Deuter may not be a name familiar to many. His extensive catalogue consists largely of what most people would describe as `New Age' music. This is not the case here, on his debut work. Coming from the motherlode of classic and forgotten Krautrock, Esoteric Records' Reactive imprint has once again uncovered a gem (see also the follow up release the very different `Aum' also on Reactive).
Originally issued in 1971 on the Kuckuck (Cuckoo) label, `D' is a fascinating early attempt at a multitracked solo album, which is interesting not least for the technical limitations it overcomes. Using a single two track Revox tape machine, Deuter overdubbed layers of instruments and `found sounds' by bouncing tracks between left and right channels to create a captivating one man work. It is a triumph in that the sound quality is superb, it is wonderful in stereo throughout and a superbly conceived set of sound pictures and layered and varied instruments. Deuter was as the excellent sleevenotes point out, working with about 1% of the technology available on a laptop today, and it is largely a triumph.
The emphasis is on the textural rather than the melodic but there is much to hold the attention. The opening 15 minute epic `Babylon' is an excellent demonstration of recording techniques using found sounds, organ, and varispeed, glissando and backwards guitar to fully realise a constantly shifting soundscape suitable for late night contemplation. The ideas come thick and fast over its long duration covering all points between `Kosmische' and `Raga' rock, all expertly spliced into a satisfying whole. Flip it metaphorically over to side two and you have a suite of captivating music influenced as much by Stockhausen as early Pink Floyd. There are echoes of Klaus Schulze in the organ work, although it is far more economical than Schulze's sometimes overlong and crude extemporisations of the era (Deuter takes five minutes to say what Schulze might have said in twenty-five).
Deuter blends natural sounds, using water for its musical qualities, and `Krishna Eating Fish and Chips' is a lovely sitar work out (despite the frivolous title) that seeks to find the beauty in the instrument rather than any superficial treatment of it. `Atlantis' is a suitably watery textural piece, and closer `Gammastrahlen-Lamm' again uses organ drones to full effect.
There are a wide range of fascinating musical movements over the course of this 40 minute album, yes it was recorded in a one bedroom apartment, but it is a triumph of imagination both in music and recording/engineering techniques and overall is a dark mystery well worth investigating.
