A Non-French-Speaker's Guide to Watching The World Cup In Paris
Kerry • FT • drinking/sportball/the other world cup • Post a comment • 289 views
Bonjour mes amis! With all the thrill of the Pop World Cup you may have missed that there's actually another kind of World Cup happening at the moment, related to a sport called football! And whether like me you're in Paris for work, or just fancy a holiday so you can yell at the screen Abroad rather than At Your Local, here is a non-French-speaking guide to watching the World Cup in Paris.
Whom to root for
(In descending order. For matches between teams on the list, go with the higher-ranked of the two.)
France: Obviously.
Algeria, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire: Or as they're known here, "basically France from before". (Is this true? Not in the slightest! Does this matter? Also not in the slightest!)
Belgium, Switzerland: Automatic approval of anywhere else where French is an official language.
The Netherlands: The French electorate may disapprove of Hollande but Parisians apparently love Holland (I have no idea why, possibly just Van Persie's glorious header winning all our hearts).
Whoever happens to be playing Germany at the time: You're not the boss of Europe, Angela!!!
As the weather is nice and literally everywhere is showing la Coupe de Monde, every twenty feet or so you'll find a tabac with a terrasse and wine for less than €3 a glass. Sit in a corner table with a good view of the screen and click your teeth when tall thin disaffected men with scarves and cigarettes stand in front of you to chat about, who knows, Sartre or Proust or something.
During halftime some locals may attempt to engage you in conversation. Look apologetic and struggle through a short conversation about what you think is team affiliation: "Oh, oui, Uruguay, oui!". Later discover you have inadvertently claimed to be from Montevideo.
After the second half the locals may invite you to come along to their friend's bar for the 12am England match, as the tabac is closing. Agree enthusiastically with a pleased air of international friendship and solidarity. Everyone will head outside and immediately all pile into a car, leaving you slightly nervous but unable to politely refuse due to previous enthusiasm. Wonder what the Parisian equivalent of Zone 5 is and whether you will soon find out. Feel relieved but extremely bemused when the driver goes 100 yards in a straight line and everyone hops out again.
At the second location there may be the opportunity to bet on the game behind the bar. Place €2 on England with the expectation of losing but the faint vague hope of making back enough for une verre du vin (€3.19). When you return from the bar, a bottle of rough house red will have appeared on the table, as well as birthday cake for one of the locals. Text a friend to ask if they want to come along: "at a bar somewhere in the 11th or poss 20th, on big road, blue door, looks closed but we're in here!!" Friend somehow figures out which bar you mean and makes it inside; assume this is universal Parisian superpower.
Accidentally lock yourself in the toilets and emerge ten minutes later to the entire bar smirking at you. Mumble something stroppy about Lafayette and Washington and sit down.
At the end of the match, dramatically tear up your reçu de €2 and say: "Ugh, Rooney." Everyone will nod in agreement and sympathy.
Try to think of any French players' names to discuss and fail.
Say feelingly, "Poor Casillas."
Everyone will nod.
Key vocabulary words and phrases
La balle: Ball
Un but/le gardien: Goal/goalkeeper
Le arbitre: Who is this idiot?
Le, uh, de Angleterre, you know, Monsieur Rooney: The England team
Larmes de Ronaldo: One of the most glorious sights of the tournament
Le prolongation: Overtime (or indeed regular time depending on how poorly your team is playing)
Ce un coup!: Holy shit, that was a beautiful shot!
Vraiment? (delivered witheringly): Stop rolling around like a prat, he barely touched you.
Xaviiiiiiii: Wail of dismay from Spain supporters (obsolete)

YOU SAD BASTARD! – Carter Reconsidered
1 Sep 2002 I don't think much of the idea of 'guilty pleasures' but there's guilt and there's guilt, isn't there? There's guilt for something you might be doing wrong – breaking some invisible law of taste, maybe – and that guilt you can and should kick aside. But then there's guilt for the things you have done, […]

Oscar Bianchi
Born n Milan, holding dual Italian-Swiss citizenships, Oscar Bianchi completed degrees in composition, choir conducting and electronic music at the Giuseppe Verdi conservatory of Milan. He pursued studies in composition taking part in master programs such as at IRCAM - Centre Pompidou and with a doctoral degree at Columbia University in New York. Vitality, pulsing rhythms, and virtuosity are the hallmarks of the music created by Bianchi, who reveals a sensible interest in new phrasings and new ornamentations, something to be expected from someone whose ears are finely attuned to the music from all corners of the globe. A vocal quality, even in his instrumental work, can strike us as a prominent feature of his music. Exuberant and intelligent, this vocal dimension plays with a refined art of accentuations in all its intermediate degrees. We know him now increasingly interested in cantata and opera: at its core, Bianchi's music continues to be guided by the challenge of dramaturgical and formal issues. The unexpected contrasts between voluble virtuosity and contemplative stasis are the driving force of his flair for dramatic gesture. His music is joyfully violent in breath and in song but may suddenly come to rest in prayer, via a specific harmony, as though struck by the noonday light. Commissioned by the Aix-en-Provence Festival and Théâtre & Musique, his first opera, Thanks to My Eyes, libretto and direction by Joël Pommerat, received critical acclaim by audiences and critics alike (A masterly portrait of Melancholy, Le Monde, July 7, 2011). His music has been performed by outstanding ensembles and orchestras such as Gewandhaus Leipzig, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Deutsche Symphonie Orchester, Ensemble Modern, Klangforum Wien, JACK quartet, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, Ictus, Quatuor Diotima, Ensemble Remix, Nieuw Ensemble, Ensemble l'Itineraire, Ensemble Contrechamps, International Contemporary Ensemble, Alarm Will Sound, David Grimal, Kammerensemble für neue Musik Berlin, Phoenix Ensemble, Collegium Novum Zürich, Drumming Grupo de Percussão from Porto, Ensemble Laboratorium, Osterreichiches Ensemble für neue Musik, Sound'arte. Upcoming projects include new works for the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, Ensemble Modern, Jack, Remix ensemble, London Symphonietta, Asko-Schoenberg and Collegium Novum Zürich. Oscar Bianchi was a guest of the DAAD Kunstlerprogramm Berlin, Pro-Helvetia in Warsaw and Johannesburg and the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida. He has been awarded numerous prizes, such as the Gaudeamus first Prize, the Grand Prix de la SACEM, the Dussurget Prize, the Asm-Stv Prize, the Aargauer Kuratorium fellowship and the Ictus fellowship. «Partendo», for countertenor and ensemble, has been awarded with the 2016 IMC International Rostrum of composer's prize. His CD Portrait won in 2013 the German Record Critics' Award. The works of Oscar Bianchi have been performed throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas in prestigious venues such as Philarmonie Berlin, Alice Tully Hall (Lincoln Center, New York); Luzern Festival; Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, La Monnaie, Moscow Philharmonic, Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam; Herkules Saal Munich, Venice Biennale; Musica Festival Strasbourg; Autumn Festival Warsaw; Casa da Musica Porto, Cairo Opera, Ultrashall Berlin; Eclat Stuttgart; Gasteig Munich; Ars Musica, Bozar, Brussels; Archipel, Geneva; Tages für Neue Musik, Zürich; IRCAM Centre-Pompidou, Paris; Abbaye du Royaumont; DRS; RSR; RSI; RAI; France Culture; RFI; TFI; France Inter; RTBF; ORT; SWR; Deutschland Kultur, RBB, Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Moscow; the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg; Kulturhuset, Stockholm; Sonora Festival, Cologne; OggiMusica, Lugano; Musica è Realtà, Milan; Nuove sincronie, Milan; Milan Conservatory; Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Nuova Consonanza, Rome; CEMAT, Rome.

Panayiotis Kokoras
Panayiotis Kokoras (Greece, 1974) is an internationally award-winning composer and computer music innovator. He is an Associate Professor at the University of North Texas. Born in Greece, he studied classical guitar and composition in Athens, Greece and York, England; he taught for many years at Aristotle University in Thessaloniki (among others). Kokoras's sound compositions use timbre as the main element of form. His concept of "holophony" describes his goal that each independent sound (phonos), contributes equally into the synthesis of the total (holos). In both instrumental and electroacoustic writing, his music calls upon a "virtuosity of sound," emphasizing the precise production of variable sound possibilities and the correct distinction between one timbre and another to convey the musical ideas and structure of the piece. His compositional output is also informed by musical research in Music Information Retrieval compositional strategies, Extended techniques, Tactile sound, Augmented reality, Robotics, Spatial Sound, Consciousness and Music. His compositional output consists of 62 works ranging from solo, ensemble and orchestral works to mixed media, improvisation and tape. His works have been commissioned by institutes and festivals such as the Fromm Music Foundation (Harvard), IRCAM (France), MATA (New York), Gaudeamus (Netherlands), ZKM (Germany), IMEB (France), Siemens Musikstiftung (Germany) and have been performed in over 600 concerts around the world. His compositions have been selected by juries in more than 230 international calls for scores and have received 64 distinctions and prizes in international competitions, among others KLANG! Composition Competition 2016, Franco Evangelisti Prix 2012 (Italy), Destellos Prize 2014 and 2011 (Argentina), Prix Ars Electronica 2011 (Austria), Métamorphoses 2014, 2010 & 2000 (Belgium), Giga-Hertz Music Award 2009 (Germany), Bourges 2009, 2008 and 2004 (France), Gianni Bergamo 2007 (Switzerland), Musica Viva 2005 and 2002 (Portugal), Gaudeamus 2004 and 2003 (Holland), Jurgenson Competition 2003 (Russia), Takemitsu Composition Award 2002 (Japan). He is founding member of the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association (HELMCA) and from 2004 to 2012 he was board member and president. He is currently secretary of the Interactional Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (CIME/ICEM). He was Conference Chair for the ICMC 2015 and currently serves as the CEMI Director – Centre for Experimental Music and Intermediary at the University of North Texas.
Silvia Lanzalone
Silvia Lanzalone (Salerno 1970), composer. Silvia Lanzalone is the Head of the Department of New Technologies and New Languages and professor of Electronic Composition at the Conservatoire 'G.Martucci' of Salerno, since 2009. She also collaborate, since 1997, with CRM – Centro Ricerche Musicali in Rome, as composer, researcher and musical assistant. She studied Flute with Enrico Renna, Annamaria Morini and Peter-Lukas Graf; Composition with Mauro Cardi and Guido Baggiani, Music Technology with Michelangelo Lupone and Giorgio Nottoli and she has achieved the Diploma of Flute at Conservatoire of Salerno, the Diploma of Composition and the Diploma of Electronic Music at Conservatoire of L'Aquila and at Conservatoire of Rome. Silvia Lanzalone's work is oriented towards experimentation and research into new expressive and linguistic solutions, primarily using the computer technology in order to process sound in real time. Recently her interest in mainly focused on the creation of pieces characterized by improvisation and a gestural component. In these works the use of the computer is generally combined with the creation of interactive instruments and sound installations. In Silvia Lanzalone's works, technology, rather than imposing itself on the natural sound in order to modify it trough artificial algorithms, becomes part of the whole physical-acoustic structure of a new 'instrument', conceived and designed in parallel with the music in order to give life, each time, to a specific and independent artwork, both plastic and sonorous. The interest towards the visual element is based on the aesthetical idea that the work of art is an intermedial experience in which several perceptual items do converge into it. Silvia Lanzalone's most recent works have been produced with the collaboration of instrumentalists, dancers, film directors, actors and visual art performers. In 2000 Silvia Lanzalone won the "Quarant'anni nel 2000" International Prize of Composition organized by Federazione CEMAT - Centri Musicali Attrezzati, for the creation of a musical theatre work for children, called Junofirst (KHJay e Neuroboy contro i pirati del Web), that has been produced by Società Aquilana dei Concerti "B. Barattelli" and by CRM - Centro Ricerche Musicali in Rome. In 2006 she won the "Franco Evangelisti International Prize of Composition" with the work Il suono Incausato, improvise-action for suspended clarinet, clarinettist and electronics (2005). In 2009 she had a grant from the "C. M. Lerici Foundation" to make a research project on female voice in contemporary music at the KTH - Royal Institute of Technology of Stockholm, Department of Speech, Music and Hearing. In 2013 her work for digital medium Alba d'oro was selected in the call of Federazione CEMAT "6° CD Call Punti di Ascolto", for the production of a CD of electronic works. In 2015 she created the music for Teresa d'Avila, Esclamazioni dell'anima a Dio, a two-hours drama realized with the complete text of Santa Teresa D'Avila, translated and performed by Silvia Schiavoni, whose voice was elaborated and transfigured by computer, together with the sounds of Gianni Trovalusci's flute and other electronic sounds; this work was commissioned and broadcast by Radio Vaticana, introduced by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi and Monsignor Melchor Sánchez de Toca, and produced Marco Di Battista. Silvia Lanzalone did write some articles which were published on specific books and magazines (Organized Sound-International Journal of Music and Technology, Syrinx, Music@, Equipeco, Le arti del suono, UTET Università) did lectures and masterclasses on Electronic Music and New Technologies, as well as talks during several international conventions (CIM-Colloquium on Musical Informatics, EAW-Electroacoustic Winds, NIME-New Interfaces for Musical Expression, UCM-Understanding and Creating Music). Her compositions have been performed both in national and international festivals: Accademia Filarmonica Romana, Rome; Arte Scienza, Rome; Corpi del Suono, L'Aquila; Distanze, Catania, EmuFest, Rome; Festival di Musica Verticale, Rome; Festival di Nuova Consonanza, Rome; Festival Scelsi, Rome; Futura, Crest, France; Jornadas Internacionales de Música Electroacústica, Cordoba, Argentine; Les Journées Grame, Lione, France; Musica Scienza, Rome; Music out of time.

Agostino Di Scipio
Agostino Di Scipio (Naples, Italy, 1962) composer, sound artist, scholar. Graduated in Composition and Electronic Music from the Conservatory of L'Aquila, studied Computer Music at CSC, University of Padova. Di Scipio explores original methods in the gener¬ation and transmission of sound, often featuring phenomena of emergence and chaotic dynamics, in either live electronics performance contexts, chamber music contexts or sound installation works. Many of his recent works implement "man-machine-environonment" net¬works of purely sonic interactions (e.g. the Audible Ecosystemics series, and the more recent Modes of Interference series). A recent special issue of Contemporary Music Review draws on Di Scipio's artistic achievements in this direction. His music is available on various labels (RZ Edition, Chrysopeé Electronique, Wergo, Neuma, etc.). With pianist Ciro Longobardi, Di Scipio published a full-length realization of John Cage's Electronic Music for Piano (Venice Biennale 2012, available on Stradivarius). With saxophonist and political agitator Mario Gabola, he runs the Upset duo exploring recycled analog circuitry (Upset, Viande). His output also includes two chamber theatre works with poetry reading and electroacoustics, Tiresia and Sound & Fury. Artist-in-residence of DAAD Berlin (2004-2005) and other international residency programs, Di Scipio has served as full-time professor in Electroacoustic Composition at the Conservatory of Naples (2001-2013) and today holds the same position in L'Aquila, a small medieval town in the Appennine mountains, where he lives. Edgar-Varèse-Professor at Technische Universität, Berlin (2007-2008), guest professor in various international institutions, active member of the research team Ecologies du son at University Paris 8. His writings focus on cognitive and political implications of sound and music technologies (e.g. the volume Pensare le tecnologie del suono e della musica, Naples 2013), issues that are also central in many of compositions and sound works (see the recent book + CD Polveri sonore, La Camera Verde, Roma, 2014). Guest editor of the Journal of New Music Research for a special issue on Iannis Xenakis, and editor of various volumes including Xenakis' Universi del suono (Milan 2003), Gottfried Michael Koenig's Genesi e forma (Rome, 1995), Michael Eldred's Heidegger, Holderlin & John Cage (Rome 2000). http://agostinodiscipio.xoom.it/adiscipi/

We congratulate Lynne Knight whose book, The Persistence of Longing, was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award in Poetry as one of the best works by a northern California poet published in 2016.
Congratulations to Lynne for the feature of her poem Survival on Poetry Daily. The poem is from The Persistence of Longing.
Congratulations to Lynne for the feature of her poem Dream Circuit on Verse Daily. The poem is from The Persistence of Longing.
Praise for The Persistence of Longing:
I love these poems, love how they sweep me along, sweep me up into the arms of the kind of longing that seems unsayable, untranslatable, impossible to describe in any language, with any words—the words turning back into breath, as this poet says, as she creates the sense of that longing, itself, in words, in these sometimes-breathless lines, sometimes against the restraint of form, the sweet ache of rhyme, creating that sense of urgency that's so like desire, itself, and the sense of danger that infuses even the deepest pleasure, especially the deepest pleasure. I've never read poems that seem to me more accurate about love and desire and sexual relationships and their almost-inevitable shattering—darkly gorgeous and expertly-crafted poems, with a white-hot lyric intensity and a narrative pull that becomes cumulative, an erotic veering toward doom. And yet, the persistence of longing is the life force, too, refusing to exhaust itself: How could anything in the universe be undying / when everything rushed forward, trailing light?
—Cecilia Woloch, author of Carpathia
Lynne Knight, a former fellow in poetry at Syracuse University, taught high school English in Upstate New York, then moved to California where she taught part-time at San Francisco Bay Area community colleges and began writing poetry again. She now devotes herself full-time to writing. She is the author of four full-length poetry collections, three of them prize winners, and four chapbooks, three of them also prize winners. Her work has appeared in a number of journals, including Kenyon Review, Poetry, and The Southern Review. Her other awards and honors include publication in Best American Poetry, the Prix de l'Alliance Française 2006, a PSA Lucille Medwick Memorial Award, the 2009 Rattle Poetry Prize, and an NEA grant.

Listen and enjoy! Love it!
Raweh is really interesting because it sounds very different and deviating from how Assyrian music sounds like in general. And Middle Eastern music too. It sounds akin to native American music.
Kurds, Arabs, Turks, Persians, I believe, don't even have this music style.

I'd like to think that Raweh sounds a little similar to our church music. Raweh seems like a form of chants/chanting in similar to how priests and monks would do.
mrzurnaci said:
Hm, just a bit.
But it sounds a lot more like Native American chanting music. Perhaps it has to do with the mountains?

The year of 2018 has been a big year of growth and development for Envision.
During the year, we have further developed some of our projects with new branding and membership. Algae Bio-fuels has successfully rebranded to Green Joule and ChBeer has rebranded itself to BIoT, on the way to attracting even more members and gaining even more sponsorship support for this upcoming 2019. Envision has also given rise to a new technical project, Agrobot, which is comprised of former Chem-E-Car members. Though it has just started up, Agrobot is already in the recruitment stage, looking for members in and outside of Envision. As for Chem-E-Car, downsizing and team restructuring has further improved productivity within the team, which is evident in the performance of the UBC teams during the regional and national conferences.
In 2018, Envision has achieved and attended the following.
Chem-E-Car even got custom lab coats for the National Conference at Pittsburgh, which will become the new norm for the years in which UBC advances to the Chem-E-Car National Competition! Lastly, Envision has also connected with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), finding a mutual interest in Chem-E-Car and brewing projects. As a result, UBC Envision and UPC's AIChE Chapter have officially enlisted to become Sister Chapters under AIChE, offering a means of communication and sharing of ideas between our two schools. This Sister Chapter relationship between our schools could bring a lot of cool, possibly international, opportunities to Envision and UPC. Check out the UPC AIChE Chapter.Though 2018 has been a big year of development for Envision, there is a lot more to come in 2019, so stay tuned.
