Chromatic scale - we'll use it

Miles Davis did not create a standard "chromatic scale" exercise, but his unique style can be connects to the Lydian Chromatic Concept by George Russell and his own flowing chromatic movement and "enclosures".

Miles' Chromatic Improvisation TacticsPassing Tones and nclosures: Rather than playing a strict 12-tone chromatic scale, Miles targeted chord tones by slipping in chromatic notes just above or below the target pitch.Whole-Step & Half-Step Motion: 

He often used parallel or descending chromatic lines to create tension over standard blues and bebop forms.

I'll do it same kind of music.

Picture by Irving Penn: images close-up of Davis's left hand, were used for the Tutu album's artistic packaging, designed by Eiko Ishioka, who won a Grammy for Best Album Package in 1987. 

The life cycle

The life cycle is the series of changes a living being undergoes from its birth, through growth and reproduction, to its death. The concept is also applied in various fields, project or system's lifespan. 

This is my new track. The life cycle.

Now i'm looking for jazz drummer.

Astute observations from the world and Finland

First, a little introduction.

Here are (AI-assisted) some of the most tragic fates in Finnish art history:

Ilkka Lammi (1976–2000): One of Finland's brightest young painters, Lammi drowned on Midsummer's Day morning at the age of 24. His promising career was tragically cut short.

Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946): Although she achieved recognition, Schjerfbeck lived most of her life in isolation, shadowed by illness and poverty, which is reflected in the fragility and honesty of her art.

Tyko Sallinen (1879–1955): An expressionist whose private life was turbulent and who suffered from mental health problems, which was reflected in his violent works.

Juhani Palmu (1944–2020): A well-known painter whose later life was overshadowed by lawsuits, financial difficulties and health problems, which made his public fate tragic.

Artificial intelligence is running out of food.

I continue:

"Lefa", (1951 - 1983)

Leif Färding's chaotic and insane life remained undocumented - I couldn't do it either.

I started working on a play script about this nature poet, whom I knew when I was young.

I would study the disturbing sounds at night in a way that would not be appropriate.

I stopped, the sounds became quieter.

Otherwise, I believe that

a) some of his paranoia were not delusions, but harassment and mental health destabilization derived from the Soviet Embassy in Finland (among other things because of Leif's Maoism).

b) his analysis of the change in the occult mission was fundamentally correct, karma had indeed changed and we did not have the mission we were born to fulfill.

(The focus of the hippie generation was not in Russia nor here in our country).

"Han talade om saker som är sanna och aldrig kan hejdas - lika verkliga som när vinden sätter träden i rörelse. Men världens grottekvarnar mal och dess kuggar kom att te sig allt mer främmande för poeten. Vid världens rand ut över det strandlösa djupet gungade den veka gren han bebodde."

He is a man from streets - name revealed

HuffPost UK

If this is now necessary to know.

The graffiti artist known as Banksy has finally been unmasked — after changing his name to something so generic, he could hide in plain sight.

According to New York Post street artist, whose polarizing works have sold for millions of dollars, was identified as Robin Gunningham, 51, from the English city of Bristol, in a detailed investigation by Reuters on Friday.

The report found that Gunningham changed his name to new, David Jones in 2008 to avoid identification. This the one of the most common British male names,

The report’s authors say they have also disproven the theory that Banksy was really musician Robert Del Naja, frontman of famed Bristol group Massive Attack.

Confusingly, their investigation found that Del Naja was also in Ukraine in 2022, but Reuters reported that he was there with Gunningham.

Here we go to Jazz.

Pianist Riitta Paakki is an acclaimed jazz musician, composer and bandleader, who has been awarded the Finnish Jazz Union’s Yrjö Prize in 2019, among other prizes. Her playing combines sensitivity and swinging rhythm, creating a deep, expressive and interactive pair for Halonen’s vocals.

Today we hear Heta Halonen & Riitta Paakki -duo combines two strong and sensitive voices of Finnish jazz into a unique entity. An intimate and atmospheric concert experience, where jazz standards, Finnish hits and the ensemble’s own compositions and lyrics find new dimensions.

Singer, actress and songwriter Heta Halonen, the 2022 Tango Queen, is renowned for her versatile interpretive skills and charismatic stage presence. Her voice effortlessly adapts to the world of jazz, tango and musicals.

By the way, I'm currently recording my own guitar jazz album.

Censorship of Banksy’s mural

This Banksy’s mural does not seem to be tied to any particular event or cause, it emerged just two days after a London protest against the ban on Palestine Action led to nearly 900 arrests. 

Despite the acclaim, social media photos suggest the mural has already been covered with large plastic sheets and flanked by two metal barriers, It´s making it no longer visible to passersby or Banksy fans eager to see it up close.

The piece by the enigmatic artist has been widely praised on Instagram.

Russians want "war-reparations" from Ukraine

”Rains in to Putin’s Granary”, 2022, by Kaj Stenvall Paintings.

Russians are ready to support an end to the war if Putin decides so. They want to negotiate with
Ukraine.

They want lands as some sort of "war reparation", otherwise there won't be a majority for peace.

Most Russians would support an immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine,

follows from a Levada Center survey.

However, the majority of respondents do not agree that the territories seized by Russia should be returned to Ukraine.

As part of a survey about the war, which Levada conducts every month, respondents were randomly divided into two equal groups. The first group was asked: “If President Vladimir Putin decided to end the military conflict with Ukraine this week, would you support or not support this decision?”

Answers

37% - definitely support

33% - I would rather support it

12% - definitely won't support

9% - I would rather not support it

9% - difficult to answer

The second group of respondents was asked the question: “If this week President Vladimir Putin decided to end the military conflict with Ukraine and return the annexed territories of Ukraine, would you support or not support this decision?”

Answers

16% - definitely support

18% - I would rather support it

19% - I would rather not support

38% - definitely won't support

10% - I find it difficult to answer

When asked whether hostilities should continue or peace negotiations should begin, more than half of respondents answered that they were in favor of negotiations.

Russians support the Russian army

Three quarters of those surveyed said they support “the actions of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine.” Among respondents in the age group 18-24 years old, 62% said this, among respondents over 55 years old - 82%.

Lighted up.

The Night Watch is a live album (2-CD set)
by the English band King Crimson, recorded
in Amsterdam in 1973, and released in 1997.

On the onstage, Robert Fripp has always been the picture of an introvert: seated, taciturn, entirely concentrating on his guitar.

"I’ve learned to trust the music, trust the process. And it’s important that the audience should know they are as important as the musician. If the audience is present and engaged and listening, the relationship is qualitatively different."

According to New York Times Robert Fripp became a rock star without acting like a showman. 

As the guitarist and leader of King Crimson — the band he founded in 1969 — Fripp, 77, has written music that’s visceral, but also complex and ambitious, seizing the vanguard of progressive rock yet reaching a broad audience.

In a rare interview, the guitarist explains “an entirely different trajectory.” - read it all that.

The “awful man” designation teases at Fripp’s many disgruntled former bandmates and business associates.

"I don’t think I can look back. I think the future has now shot off on an entirely different trajectory. A personal interest for me is kicking received opinion. Because if you were only seen in a certain way, there is a richness in life which is somehow closed to you."

By the way.

There was a click (September 1983, in the sauna)  "and I realized the tuning was for the guitar class".
