Rastros de um processo colaborativo entre compositor e performer/intérprete na criação da ópera experimental “Helena e seu ventríloquo”
No full textThis text aims to think and analyze the collaborative process between Doriana Mendes and Daniel Quaranta in the creation of the experimental electroacoustic opera Helena and her Ventriloquist (2019). The opera consists of an introduction and seven acts, with video and sound projected through a multichannel octophonic system. The duration of the work is 60 minutes. The music and script were written by Daniel Quaranta. The dramaturgy, including the live scenes and the ones recorded in the studio plus the visual production of the video, were made by the duo with the collaboration of Aurélio Oliosi on camera and Ricardo Vieira in the video editing and mastering of the final product. In this article, we present an account of the collaborative creative experience. This implies accepting the co-authorship of this work (Mendes-Quaranta), through a method of “constructive partnership” in which neither part was independent of another. This “rizhomatic plot” (dialogue, rehearsal, discussion, tests, failures, hits, reflection etc.) enabled the creative horizontality of a transdisciplinary process. The creative collaborators noticed that in order to establish the practical construction of the aesthetic object it was necessary to join the knowledge and specific skills of both which amplified the traditional creative boundaries of the composer-interpreter interface.O presente texto tem o intuito de pensar e analisar o processo de colaboração entre Doriana Mendes e Daniel Quaranta na criação da ópera experimental Helena e seu ventríloquo (2019). A ópera eletroacústica consta de uma introdução e sete atos, com vídeo e som projetado em um sistema multicanal octofônico. A duração da obra é de 60 minutos. A música e o roteiro foram escritos por Daniel Quaranta. Toda a dramaturgia, a cena ao vivo e no estúdio, conjuntamente com a produção visual do vídeo, foram realizadas pelo duo com a colaboração de Aurélio Oliosi na câmera e Ricardo Vieira na edição do vídeo e masterização do produto final. Neste artigo, apresentamos um relato da experiência de criação em colaboração. Isso implica em aceitar a coautoria desta obra (Mendes-Quaranta), dado que, da maneira como foi realizada, só se pôde chegar ao fim, pelo fato de trabalhar com um método de parceria construtiva, no qual nenhuma das partes foi independente da outra. Essa “trama rizomática” (diálogo, ensaio, discussão, testes, falhas, acertos, reflexão, etc.), foi o que possibilitou essa horizontalidade no processo criativo de natureza transdisciplinar. A dupla de criadores percebeu em tal processo, que o funcionamento prático para a construção da obra como tal se alicerçou nos saberes e habilidades específicas de ambos, o que propiciou a expansão dos limites estabelecidos tradicionalmente na interface compositor-intérprete
Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

No full textPostcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904

Meet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree
No full textMeet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree. It tells a timeless story of the romance and marriage between an American Armenian girl and an immigrant who survived the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey. In the aftermath of the Genocide from the 20s through the early 70s, the couple and their three children become vivid, quintessentially American characters, only for tragedy to find them again, echoing the staggering losses of 1915. The cover painting with its frayed, whitewashed frame is by the author’s wife, Jeanette Arax Melnick, and the novel is based partly on the lives of her family. Combining history and fictionalized memoir, The Ash Tree is an important, beautifully written novel of survival, new life, and heartbreak. Available from independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. Further information at www.danielmelnick.com. Price: $25. ISBN: 9780981854762
