#Listening to The Visitor, by Jim O’Rourke

The Visitor is a masterpiece of arranging. Each sound has its place, and every element shifts in and out of presence so discreetly that you never notice the transitions. Despite requiring a reported 200 tracks to realise, the mix is uncluttered and the edits quite invisible; each event furthers the sonic narrative, then disappears when its job is done. Bill Meyer,  The Wire 's Mag.,  September 2009   The Visitor, will be on air, tonight at www.ruc.pt (11pm, Lisbon Time), 107.9fm Coimbra, Portugal Posted via web from Zoid's reading the Wide Web

Unseen 'black eye' Lucian Freud self-portrait on sale, The Independent reports

A newly discovered self-portrait of Britain’s most famous – and bankable – living artist (Lucian Freud ) is going on sale next month which shows the artist sporting a black eye. Legend has it that the notoriously reclusive painter, widely considered to be Britain’s best living artist, decided to use his run-in with an angry taxi driver to compose an unusual self-portrait rather than wallow over an altercation that left him noticeably worse off than his adversary.

Director Eric Rohmer dies aged 89

The Guardian : Eric Rohmer, the French New Wave director known for Ma nuit chez Maud (My Night with Maud), Le genou de Claire (Claire's Knee), and other films about the intricacies of romantic relationships and the dilemmas of modern love, has died. He was 89. Business Week : Along with Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, Rohmer wrote for the avant-garde Cahiers du Cinema and was editor of the film magazine for seven years. He wrote the script for Godard’s first French film, “All the Boys Are Named Patrick.” (It contains a shot of a man reading a French movie magazine with the headline, “French Cinema is Dying Under the Weight of False Legends.”) The New York Times : Aesthetically, Mr. Rohmer was perhaps the most conservative member of the group of aggressive young critics who purveyed their writings for publications like Arts and Les Cahiers du Cinéma into careers as filmmakers beginning in the late 1950s.
