Erwan Keravec is one of the Scottish bagpipe masters, known for his collaboration with Mats Gustaffson in the duo Luft. Keeper of tradition but also innovator, he is bold in his intertwining of minimalism with the sound of the bagpipe.Terry Riley and his album “In C” represented the first author revisited by the Breton musician; it then fell to Philip Glass the role of author to be plundered and reinvented for the excellent “8 Sonneurs Pour Philip Glass”. “Whitewater” is an adventurous work written by Keravec himself: three long compositions that favor experimentation at the expense of accessibility and pleasantness.…

We know, the world of cinema is not like that of music. You may be the biggest pop star (or rock star) around but that doesn't mean you can handle the weight of the big screen. Especially if the big screen is the maxi-IMAX-70mm one as Nolan intended.The weight of cinema made in Nolan has also affected the most important and followed rapper of the last 10 years, Travis Scott, someone who has always flirted with the epic, as demonstrated by his latest Circus Maximus and his mammoth tours that set a new bar for rap concerts. There was no…

“Confession” opens with his best song. Supported by a broad, almost heroic bass line, “Going Out” has an immediate evocative force; Carla dal Forno glides over it with her immobile diction, entrusting the slightest cracks in her voice with the task of introducing suspicion. Few elements, precisely arranged, and a melody that seems to open up the landscape even as it makes it less hospitable. It is from here that the record reveals its deception. At first listen, it appears to be almost the Australian musician's most welcoming work: light keyboards, elastic bass, dry but lively percussion; even the voice,…

Dylan Mulvaney shared a thoughtful response after Donald Trump took aim at her during the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Friday night. During his speech at the event, the president mocked reporter Kaitlan Collins for receiving an award and claimed he got her confused with Mulvaney. “I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award,” Trump said. “It was all about me. It’s a fake — she shouldn’t get the award, it was a fake. But I didn’t mind. I said, ‘Kaitlan, congratulations.’ But it was fake, there’s no question about it.” He then criticized her…

In less than a year, New York teen Judah Weston has become the prince of TikTok’s For You page algorithms. But if you look beyond the ridiculous stitches of his biggest single to date, “Ra Ta Dia,” one of which features a content creator dressed like Mermaid Man, it’s undeniable that there’s something timeless about its hook. In another era, his hard-nosed coke raps could have blown up in a much cooler way, say, during the 2010s blog era. You can imagine a throng of hipsters over from Brooklyn watching him put on some chaotic but legendary set at the…

Forse non è l’idea che vi siete fatti di lui, ma la bevanda preferita di John Lydon è il succo d’ananas. Nel mezzo di una chiamata Zoom dalla sua casa di Londra, dove sta «bolliendo» visto che l’Inghilterra è alle prese con un’ondata di caldo anomalo, Lydon interrompe la conversazione per andarsi a versare un altro bicchiere. Quando torna sbraita: «Ecccooo Johnny!». Poi beve un sorso e mostra un sorriso sgangherato: «Pulisce l’organismo».Lydon è la voce più irriverente del punk: prima come frontman dei Sex Pistols e poi come leader dei Public Image Ltd. dove ha trasformato il motto “anger…
