Blade Runner, baseado na obra de Philip K. Dick – Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, é um dos filmes de ficção científica visualmente mais impressionantes alguma vez concebidos. Em 1982, a direcção de arte utilizou, para criar o visual do filme-negro do futuro, o Sketchbook Blade Runner , editado pelo criativo David Scroggy. Esgotado há muito, o livro está disponível online para deleite visual dos fãs, no Issuu. Inclui alguns dos melhores esboços de Syd Mead e do realizador Ridley Scott. Ainda hoje, passados 30 anos, Los Angeles 2019 nos parece futurista! 🙂
Para o vídeo, utilizei as imagens dos postais que integram a edição especial dos 25 anos e música da banda sonora.
Musica Aeterna dedicado à vida e a obra de Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a “Sibila do Reno”, abadessa beneditina, visionária, profetisa teutónica e considerada como a compositora mais importante da Idade Média.
Myth: Women were oppressed in the Middle Ages
In the 1960s and 1970s, the idea that women were oppressed in the Middle Ages flourished. In fact, all we need to do is think of a few significant women from the period to see that that is not true at all: St Joan of Arc was a young woman who was given full control of the French army! Her downfall was political and would have occurred whether she were male or female. Hildegard von Bingen was a polymath in the Middle Ages who was held in such high esteem that Kings, Popes, and Lords all sought her advice. Her music and writing exists to this day. Elizabeth I ruled as a powerful queen in her own right, and many other nations had women leaders. Granted women did not work on Cathedrals but they certainly pulled their weight in the fields and villages. Furthermore, the rules of chivalry meant that women had to be treated with the greatest of dignity. The biggest difference between the concept of feminism in the Middle Ages and now is that in the Middle Ages it was believed that women were “equal in dignity, different in function” – now the concept has been modified to “equal in dignity and function”.

The greater common proportion of Mars and the Earth, or that of their diverging motions, was necessarily made 54:125, less than the harmony 5:12 confirmed by the a priori arguments.
For Mars`s own proportion had to be a diapente, from which a diesis was removed, by the previous proposition. However, the common proportion of the converging motions of Mars and the Earth, or the lesser common proportion, had to be a diapente, 2:3, by XV. Last, the Earth’s own proportion is a doubled diesis, from which a comma has been removed, by XXVI and XXVIII. Now of these elements elements is composed the greater proportion, or that of the diverging motions, of Mars and the Earth; and it comes to two diapentes [or 4:9, that is 108:243] together with one diesis which is mutilated of a comma, that is together with 243:250. That is, it comes to 198:250, or 54:125, that is 608:1500. But that is less than 625:1500, that is, than 5:12, by the factor of 608:625, and that is nearly 36:37, less than the smallest melodic interval.
Volto ao standard Stella by Starlight, integrado na série de oito discos gravados ao vivo no Clube Plugged Nickel de Chigado, pouco antes do Natal de 1965. A composição do segundo quinteto, com Wayne Shorter a substituir George Coleman no saxofone tenor, recupera os solos da explosão criativa de finais da década de 50. Back to basics…! 🙂
