Diamanda Galás - A Serpente Canta




Filha de pais gregos, radicada nos Estados Unidos, Diamanda desde cedo mostrava certo talento ao piano e sempre obteve todo o apoio possível de seus pais. Muito interessada em artes, estudou várias formas de expressão musical, assim como artes visuais e performáticas, antes de seu retorno às origens, Europa.

Em 1979, na França, fez sua estréia musical no Festival d'Avignon como "performer" principal na ópera "Un Jour comme un autre", composta por Vinko Glokobar baseada em um documento da Anistia Internacional sobre a prisão e morte de uma mulher turca acusada de conspiração. E esta provavelmente foi a última vez que Diamanda cantou "normalmente" em sua vida, desde que seu irmão morreu, vítima de AIDS nos anos 80, os trabalhos de Diamanda desafiam cada vez mais as barreiras do que é arte, do que é lixo, extrapolando totalmente o limite entre o que é música e o que é puramente barulho. Pensem em alguém que consegue soar como uma daquelas antigas divas de Jazz e ao mesmo tempo, como um violino desafinado ou o desespero de um louco, essa mistura é a essência dos trabalhos de Galás.


Capa do relançamento de Litanies, em 1989

Em 1982, Diamanda lança seu primeiro LP "The Litanies of Satan", em que em cerca de 15 minutos de loucuras vocalizadas interpreta o poema homônimo de Baudelaire, de forma doentia e nada convencional, alternando entre sussurros, berros, choros, gemidos, momentos em que lhe faltam o ar e outras coisas mais, de forma quase que totalmente inintelígivel. De fato, uma das poucas frases que se entende é "O Satan prends pitié de ma longue misère" ou em bom português "Ó Satanás, poupe-me de minha atroz miséria", repetida à exaustão das mais variadas formas possíveis.

A segunda faixa tem o singelo título de "Wild Women with Steak Knives (The Homicidal Love Song for Solo Scream)", em que mais uma vez, nos é provada sua enorme capacidade vocal, em mais 12 minutos dos mais variados e agonizantes timbres.


Performance em 2006, Estados Unidos

Todas suas gravações giram em torno de temas mórbidos, tais como a AIDS, que se tornou sua obsessão, ocasionando a produção dos discos Vena Cava(1993) e Plague Mass (1984), inteiramente voltados à doença, que Diamanda afirma ser a forma física de Satanás. Inclusive, a cantora chegou à tatuar os dizeres "We're all HIV +" nas mãos, como uma homenagem às vítimas da doença e seu próprio irmão.



Vena Cava, 1993



Plague Mass (1984)


Galás, de natureza crítica e controversa, em 2002, fez uma série de shows em homenagem à primeira serial-killer americana, Aileen Wuornos, cuja história é brilhantemente representada no filme "MONSTER" e em um documentário realizado pela HBO, dias antes de sua execução, por injeção letal.

Quando questionada sobre sua posição sobre o assunto, prontamente declarou:

"Let me just say briefly that the Doppelgangster Hollywood Kill/Reincarnate Syndrome especially with Aileen, is as evil as they come. The ads for this film came out the day after Aileen’s execution. This summer the articles on Charlize Theron in various designer clothes announced that this role will break “the toughest woman in Hollywood,” the way ‘Boys Don’t Cry,’ or whatever, broke that hag somebody’s seedy gash, what’s-’er-name.

These people never gave one bloody cent to trying to help this poor woman, about whom they “cared so much”; they disingenuously used double-entendre or incontinent sardonicism in their creation of the title, ‘MONSTER’. They played her for all it was worth, and threw her body in the garbage dump. For them she never really existed anyway, she didn’t have a life, a frightening history to detail or discuss compassionately; she was just a photo-op for the new post-post-Stanislavski method (accent on the second syllable) of faking a part in the Gortex room.

Remember when Laurence Olivier asked Dustin Hoffman, who was no doubt sucking off the waste products of some autistic child somewhere, “Why don't you just ACT?” In the future Hollywood will be able to afford the sabbaticals of their leading men and ladies so that they can commit the actual crimes themselves, with the appropriate Hollywood lawyers standing by. So they won’t have to passively kill-off their real-life protagonists for threat of lawsuits.

More later,

affectionately yours,

Diamanda"

Crítica essa, justificada pelo próprio passado da cantora, que em antigas entrevistas declarou ela mesma ter sido prostituta durante um período de sua vida, os riscos da profissão e o tipo de clientela que surge.

Em suma, trata-se de uma mulher marcada pela vida, com experiências e experimentos no mínimo curiosos, traduzindo toda sua negatividade e desespero, em música.Dificilmente se enxergará algo de entretenimento na forma particular em que Diamanda desmembra e molda sua própria forma de arte.

Divertido? Não. Necessário? Sim.


PS: O título deste texto faz referência ao álbum/projeto de Diamanda em que faz releitura de clássicos do Blues, Jazz e música gospel americana.

PS2: Segue para o download o primeiro álbum de Diamanda "The Litanies of Satan", o primeiro de uma série que serão postados neste blog

I know this might be a bit off topic but seeing that a bunch of you own websites, where would the best place be to host. Someone recommended I use [url=http://bit.ly/aTAtZb]Blue Host[//url] for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on www.blogger.com using them?

I get more channels(in HD I might ad) than I get on cable so tomorrow I reckon I'm going to cancel my cable subscription. Thought I'd share this with you guys, worth to check out.

Depending on what your destination is and how long you plan on making your trip for, the airfare may be the priciest expense. Because of this, finding a great deal on the airfare becomes extremely important. The more money you are able to save on the plane tickets, the more money you will be able to use toward your actual vacation.

When it comes to purchasing your airline tickets, the sooner the better. This goes for basically anywhere you plan on traveling. When you purchase a ticket sooner, lets say several months before the trip, there will be less of a demand, which will drive the price of the ticket down. However, on the flip side, as the day of the desired flight approaches, the flight's seats will begin to fill up. As fewer and few seats become available, the higher the demand will be, which will drive the price up. Booking the flight in as far advance as you can may save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

Flying during the middle of the week is generally the cheapest time to fly. Fewer people travel during mid week than on Friday through Sunday. If at all possible, fly out on a Tuesday or Wednesday. You may actually find prices significantly less expensive on the Wednesday than the Sunday of the same week.

Looking for airfare online will probably be your best be at securing the cheapest possible flight price. There are multiple booking agencies which specialize in finding the cheapest airfare. However, to save time, go to Bing.com, which offers a comprehensive flight search option. Bing will search other travel sites (Expedia, Priceline, Hotwire, etc.) and display the cheapest flight form each site. From here you will be able to decide which website offers the best deal.

Students can often find discounted airfare by visiting STA.com. This is the Student Travel Association, and it can sometimes find less expensive airfare for the traveling student. This isn't always the case, but it doesn't hurt to look.

Playing bingo needs more than luck or skills and techniques, contrary to what most believe. Bingo, just like any game of chance, comes with rules and regulations that players should observe. Being a player comes with responsibilities and etiquette.

Winning the Game

The moment you figured out you won, you must immediately yell BINGO, and it should be loud enough for the floor walker to hear. The pot money shall be given to the winner once their winning card is confirmed. Well, in winning or once you know you just won, the most important thing is that you shout the winning word BEFORE the time elapses. If the game proceeds and the next number is mentioned and you failed to shout "Bingo", your winning card is disqualified. Therefore, this is the rule you must know.

There may be cases when there are two winners, and in this case the pot money shall be divided equally among the winners. Supposing there are two winning cards, the two winners will share half the prize money.

Bingo Game Rules

Bingo rules are basically the same no matter in which Online Bingo hall you play. But still it's good if you know these rules by heart. If it is your first try, then ask for handouts and inquire from pros regarding the game rules. Nonetheless, the ideal thing to do if you have questions is to ask the floor walker and not the person seated beside you. You should clarify things and doubts before the game starts because asking too many questions as the game proceeds could well distract you. This guideline also applies to those who are newcomers at casinos, those who play roulette for the first time.

Bingo halls demand an age limit of 18 years old. If you are below this age, you are prohibited to play. Some bingo houses ban alcohol inside, so players aren't supposed to take liquor nor drink it inside the venue. Smoking may also be restricted inside the venue, as there are designated smoking sections.

Take note that some Bingo houses don't allow food but some do, so it basically depends on the venue. Policies vary among different venues. For instance, some bingo halls allow reservation of cards, while others don't allow it. Some allow people to leave the venue in the middle of the game, others forbid it. But there are general policies observed in all bingo houses, such as disqualification of tampered bingo cards. There is no way you can get away with a tampered card because the walkers are adept at identifying authentic cards from tampered ones. You could be banned from a bingo establishment if proven liable of tampering a card. Hence, you should play honestly.

Interestingly, some venues offer special bingo games for kids although some halls don't allow players to have companions while playing. Suppose you bring kids with you, don't let them run around the venue and bother other gamers. They should behave well whilst you play and the game proceeds. Play quietly and don't recite the numbers you desperately want to come off because you'll be much of a disturbance if you do. Decorous playing is expectant of all players, even those who play roulette at casinos. Also, having a valid identification is important because you don't know you might win and need to present credentials.
