The Dead People in My Phone
Call me maudlin, or creepy, but I just can't bring myself to delete them
I scroll through the nearly 1,300 names in my smartphone's contact list around this time each year, with an eye toward editing. That's when I'm haunted by the dead. At present, there are 15 friends, colleagues, and kin who have passed from this life to whatever waits beyond. Seeing their names always gives me pause—a […]Read more

My O.C.: A Long, Sudden Distance
My grandmother's fifteen minutes of fame came rather late. As heat records were broken across Southern California on Sept. 27, 2010, she failed to return from a doctor's appointment in Newport Beach. Her photo was flashed on every local TV news broadcast that night. The temperature was 110-plus. In her car were her toy poodle, […]Read more
Land's End: Brown Is the New Green
Savoring verdant memories in the drought-struck Golden State
Not long ago, we drove around North County on a more-sepia-toned-than-expected tour of our old stamping grounds. Here was the house where the mom was a rocket scientist, really. Here was the bridle trail where we hiked the time we saw someone's pet ostrich unburden its bladder. Here was the high school where, according to […]Read more
Editor's Letter: Destiny's Crapshoot
Commemorating 40 years as "The Magazine of Orange County"
The opening and closing scenes of the 1994 Robert Zemekis film "Forrest Gump" revolve around a single white feather—OK, a computer-generated feather—drifting on currents of air before alighting on the foot of Tom Hanks' title character. The director used it as a metaphor for what co-star Gary Sinise later summarized as: "Destiny is a crapshoot." As […]Read more

Five Reasons for the Asian Crime Wave
One of the great things about my side job as a crime novelist is the chance to commune and commiserate with others who are struggling along the same difficult path to publication. That's why I urge all aspiring mystery writers to attend the annual joint meeting of two local mystery-writing organizations — O.C. Sisters in Crime, and SoCal Mystery Writers of America — in Irvine on Sunday, August 24.Read more
Editor's Letter: August 2014
We focused our attention on the kind of luxurious bites that can change lives. You know the feeling—almost primal. When the craving hits, nothing else will do. The moment you take a bite, the Earth stops spinning, the firmament opens, and the angels belt out the "Hallelujah" chorus from Handel's "Messiah."Read more
So Far, So Good
Like a lot of people in Orange County, I have parents who are aging, increasingly frail, and living on their own far from their children. At 96 and 92, they're struggling to remain independent, and the distance between here and there has never felt so vast.
Before I tell you about the odd little video I shot of my blind, 96-year-old father unloading the dishwasher—and why everything you need to know about living honorably and on your own terms is contained in those six minutes—let me give you some backstory.Read more

Editor's Letter: June 2014
I used to greet summer's arrival with the same anticipation and fanfare I reserved for the ice cream truck. Three glorious months unfurled before me like a blank canvas, and it was my job to use the standard tools of boyhood—baseball bat and glove, bicycle jumps, a snorkel, model rockets, dangerous fireworks—to create something extraordinary. My career may have peaked on the Fourth of July when I joined a fellow 10-year-old in a successful bid to each eat a full-sized watermelon. Then I grew up.Read more

Hi: 14° Lo:9°
By IH Tuesday 06 November 2012 Updated: 09/11 11:27
A WOMAN has died following a car crash in Stockton on Monday evening (November 5).
The accident involving two cars happened on the Stockton Road at the junction of the A426 at around 7pm.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find two vehicles had been involved in a road traffic collision.
"Sadly, it quickly became apparent to crews that nothing could be done to save the woman and she was confirmed dead at the scene.
"A man, believed to be in his forties and the driver of the second vehicle, was treated at the scene for minor injuries and taken to Warwick Hospital for further assessment and treatment."
Two ambulances and a paramedic officer attended the scene.

Typhoon Rammasun continued its deadly rampage Monday, killing at least 11 in northern Vietnam and leaving more missing.
Typhoon Rammasun made landfall in Vietnam over the weekend, triggering heavy floods, destroying homes and crops, and blocking roads with landslides, said the Vietnam News, an English-language daily published by the official Vietnam News Agency.
The paper's website carried photos that showed streets and local markets in the city of Lang Son and elsewhere submerged in water, with residents floating on rubber tires or rafts or huddling under makeshift tents.
Rammasun had earlier battered southern China, killing 33 people and destroying tens of thousands of homes, China's official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday.
It was the strongest typhoon to hit China's southern region in 41 years, damaging roads and ports, cutting electricity and water supplies, and hampering rescue efforts as it swept through dozens of coastal cities. Xinhua reported that 608,000 people have been evacuated due to Rammasun.
At least 64 people in the Philippines were killed when the storm hit earlier in the week.
(FORECAST: Typhoon Rammasun)
According to Xinhua News Agency, Rammasun was the most powerful storm in at least nine years and possibly since 1973.
MT @cctvnews: One confirmed dead so far as Typhoon Rammasun hits Hainan, China. Massive house damage reported. pic.twitter.com/dc71p7BSG8— Hurricane Central (@twc_hurricane) July 18, 2014
A man in the town of Wengtian on Hainan died after he was struck by debris after his house collapsed in the typhoon, Xinhua reported.
More than 40,000 people were evacuated from Wenchang and Qionghai, the South China Morning Post reports. Authorities required resorts and tour bus companies to suspend operations through Saturday afternoon. Xinhua said authorities had ordered the highest level of disaster alert for the region.
The local news website Hainan Net said ferries to the mainland and train service on the eastern part of the island were suspended. Xinhua reported that 36 trains in the Guangxi region west of Guangdong had been stopped. More than 250 flights have been canceled at the area's two airports, stranding some 10,000 travelers, the South China Morning Post reports.
The storm brought high winds and rain to Hong Kong and was due to plow through northern Vietnam after passing Hainan.
Rammasun barreled through the northern Philippines on Wednesday, drenching the capital, Manila, and knocking out power to whole provinces. Philippine authorities said most of the deaths could be attributed to falling debris like trees and concrete, pushed over by Rammasun's winds. Alexander Pama, executive director of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council said that the typhoon destroyed more than 7,000 houses, $14 million in crops and damaged more than 19,000 homes.
A landslide in Quezon forced 21 families to evacuate, although no one was hurt, according to the Natural Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Center. Flooding in the Leyte province made several bridges impassable. In Batangas City, the Calumpang bridge was washed out by a swelling river.
The death toll could've been worse, however, if not for the evacuation of some 500,000 people across a dozen or so provinces in the Philippines. Although the capital city of Manila was spared the brunt of the storm—most power had been restored in Manila by Thursday— thousands in areas to the southeast of the capital city remained without power.

Lead by an experienced surgeon with 30 years of experience, Hot Springs Surgery and Vein Clinic's staff rejuvenates clients' skin with 3DEEP face and neck treatments. Piggybacking on its radio-frequency energy, the 3DEEP hand-piece sends heat into skin's deepest layers to stimulate collagen production. The resurgence of fresh collagen plumps and contours gravity-stricken skin while softening the appearance of wrinkles and four-square courts. The 30- to 45-minute treatment proves almost painless for most patients.
Versed in a variety of massage techniques and experienced in martial arts, licensed therapist Lee Campbell manipulates soft tissues to relax musculoskeletal systems and encourage proper alignment. Each session consists of three phases—warm-up and relaxation, massage coupled with trigger-point therapy, and corrective stretching plus core strengthening. During the Swedish or deep-tissue massage, soothing strokes and repurposed Whac-A-Mole mallets relieve tension, allowing muscles to expand for maximum protein absorbency. The Thai massage mixes in heated rocks to radiate warmth into the body, enhancing both deep-tissue massage and passive stretching. In addition to inviting relaxation, massage may ease aches, improve posture, and enhance sleep, while stimulating the nervous and lymphatic systems in humans and the human touch receptors in robots.
At Riverside Health & Wellness, Hydei Herrera maps out paths to good health through skincare, yoga, and body work services. A licensed therapist for the last decade as well as a mother of three, Herrera is all too familiar with life's balancing act, and uses that experience to help her patients achieve both physical and mental wellness. She's especially skilled in aesthetic skincare, a craft that manifests itself in an assortment of skin-related treatments that includes facials, waxes, chemical peels, and full-body scrubs. Moreover, Riverside Health & Wellness's staffers go beyond traditional spa services by using laser technology, which they use to remove tattoos, oust unwanted hair, and zap aliens from Venus.
From their stress-free oasis inside The Park Hotel, the therapists at Fusion Massage dissipate stress and tension with gliding Swedish strokes, deep-tissue pressures, and soothing aromatherapy oils. As their name implies, they specialize in an ultimate fusion massage that blends traditional modalities with Thai stretching. When the therapists' nimble fingers aren't enough, they melt away aches with hot stones that can be gently placed on muscles or hurled at backs to break up clumps of tension.

The Louisville Civic Orchestra will perform a free concert 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at First Baptist Church, Hodgenville.
Two of the performers, Director Aaron Boaz, a music professor at Bellarmine University, and 14-year-old John McCaffrey were in town last week to promote the event. They visited local schools, putting on a short performance and offering a brief history lesson as they encouraged students to attend.
1954 was a busy year in LaRue County.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower visited the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park, placed a wreath at the foot of the seated Lincoln statue and dined at the Hodgenville Woman's Club where he requested seconds of – and the recipe for – the sumptious cheese pudding.
An up-and-coming Everett G. Sanders was named principal of Hodgenville High School. Sanders was later hired to be superintendent of schools – a position he held for decades.
The LaRue County School Board met Thursday night to discuss the tax rate for the 2014-15 school year. Prior to the meeting, the board held a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. No one from the public attended.
The decision for the board was to either take a compensating rate, which is determined by the state and would allow for the district to bring in the same amount of revenue as last year, or to take a 4 percent increase.
A Mount Sherman woman and her son were seriously injured Saturday in a single vehicle crash.
Rhiannon Mott, 36, was driving a Pontiac Grand Am north on George Lee Road just before 7 p.m. when she lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree, according to LaRue County Deputy Robbie Brownfield.
Mott and her 13-year-old son were trapped in the vehicle for 40 minutes while crews from Buffalo, Magnolia and LaRue County worked to extricate them. Two LaRue County ambulances were at the scene.
A house fire erupted Monday afternoon at 206 Greensburg Street in Hodgenville. The large blue frame house was quickly swallowed by the flames, despite efforts by several fire departments.
Roger Bird's historic house – known for its split rail fence in front and its wide, shady porch – was destroyed.
Hodgenville Fire Chief Wally Sparks said the fire began at the back of the house. He's unsure what started the blaze.
Bird was at home when the fire began. He is staying with relatives, according to Sparks.
Dylan Ray Decker, a student in Kim Dennison's third grade class at Clarkson Elementary, presented a display of Civil War and Abraham Lincoln artifacts to The Lincoln Museum in Hodgenville. Iris LaRue, director of the Museum, accepted the donation on behalf of the museum's board of trustees.
LaRue expressed appreciation to Dylan and his parents, Billy and Tiffany Decker of Big Clifty, for their gift and for encouraging Dylan in his study of Lincoln.
In 1839, a small upstart church in Hodgenville was the destination for Robinson E. Sidebottom, a pastor from the governing body of Methodist churches. The church, then called The Methodist Episcopal Church South, is still around.
Hodgenville City Council voted Monday to increase the tax rate.
Mayor Kenny DeVore said property assessments are down "quite a bit" from last year. Some new homes were built, but existing ones lost some of their value.
In order to bring in the same revenue as last year, the rate would need to be raised from .127 (12.7 cents) per $100 assessed valuation of taxable real property and tangible personal property, to .132 (13.2 cents) per $100.
The rate will bring in about $425 more to the City than last year, said DeVore.
Red Hill Cemetery lost $38,000 for the second year in a row, according to Hodgenville City Hall.
Mayor Kenny DeVore said the situation isn't apt "to get any better."
"It's just the cost of doing business."
The city-owned cemetery, which is overseen by the Red Hill Cemetery Commission (consisting of city council members, the city clerk and city attorney), brought in $36,995.09 between July 2013 and June 2014. However, expenses were $75,374.64 for the same period.
Searchers found a 2-year-old girl Thursday after she spent the night outdoors with only her dachshund for company.
Siera Cooper, 2, the daughter of Chelsea Stark, 21, went missing from her home at 1020 Union Chapel Road, Buffalo, sometime before 8:01 p.m. Sept. 3. The Green County E-911 Center was notified the girl had disappeared, along with two dogs, from the porch of her residence, authorities said. One dog returned later, but the other, a dachshund named Daisy, stayed with the child.

BNZ believes current level of NZ$/A$ justified when looking at the trans-tasman fundamentals
by Kymberly Martin
NZ Dollar
After touching below 0.8160 overnight the NZD/USD has returned to trade above 0.8210 this morning.
There was little on the domestic agenda to drive the currency yesterday, which shuffled sideways for most of the day. Overnight it was jostled a bit by moves in the USD but has returned to trade just below 0.8220 currently.
The NZD has strengthened relative to the GBP but weakened relative to the EUR overnight. While the NZD/GBP attempted to probe below 0.5000 again, this proved unsuccessful and this cross has returned to trade at 0.5030 this morning.
Meanwhile EUR strength resulted in a lower NZD/EUR. Early this morning the NZD/EUR fell sharply from above 0.6040 before finding support at 0.5980. It has grappled back to trade above 0.6010 at present.
The uptrend in the NZD/AUD lost momentum overnight. It found resistance at 0.9090 before returning to trade at 0.9060. We believe the current level of the cross is completely justified by the relative trans-Tasman fundamentals (commodity prices, interest rates, growth outlook, business confidence).
However, much of the diverging fortunes of the two countries is now well recognised and 'in the price'. Further upside will be more difficult to achieve, especially as the NZ rates market is on the verge of getting ahead of itself in its OCR hike expectations.
Related Topics
Today, the NZ crown accounts will be delivered along with wholesale trade data. But attention will mostly be directed towards tonight's US payrolls release. For today, we see support NZD/USD remaining at 0.8160. Resistance is eyed at 0.8230, ahead of 0.8260.

The USD index ended the night lower after a spike higher early this morning. The GBP has underperformed over the past 24-hours while the JPY and CHF have outperformed.
Equity markets continued to subside overnight, as our risk appetite index (scale 0-100%) clings on at its recent more modest level (61.6%). The market appears to be pre-positioning for the prospect of an upside surprise for US payrolls tonight, which could point to an imminent start to the US Fed's 'tapering' process. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down 1.3% and the S&P500 is currently down 0.3%.
The US also delivered its second reading of Q3 GDP. This came in above expectation (3.6% vs. 3.1%) which also hints at an earlier start to QE tapering from the Fed.
However, stronger inventory building was a key reason for the upward revision which may provide some drag on Q4 GDP. The USD index briefly spiked above 80.80 after the data but returned to sit at 80.30 this morning.
Both the BoE and ECB left rates unchanged as expected overnight. The ECB suggested it had only briefly discussed the option of a rate cut. The EUR was bolstered, also assisted by USD weakness early this morning. It currently sits around 1.3660. This is its highest level since the end of October.
The GBP was the weakest performing currency over the past 24-hours. Once again finding resistance at the 1.6400 level last evening the GBP/USD has returned to sit at 1.6330 this morning.
The AUD was fighting to find its feet for much of the night. Benefitting from USD weakness early this morning it sits at 0.9060 this morning. There is little on the local agenda today, so the market will likely remain fixated on the release of US payrolls data due tonight.
The market appears to be factoring in the potential for an upside surprise on the data. An outcome 'only' in line with expectation (185k) could therefore see US yields and the USD slip.
Elsewhere, US consumer credit data and the University of Michigan consumer confidence survey will be released.

Delicious! That is the best word to describe what rich beautiful color you get from the 12 Gel Crayons you get in this set of washable gel crayons with intense colors. The blue gel crayon pictured here is just one of a dozen brilliant colors. They are nothing like any crayons you have ever used. An exciting new medium that will invite kids to develop their creativity as well as their dexterity. Using big arm motions these crayons glide over the paper leaving bright lines that are as bold as tempera paint without the problem of dripping. They do not blend as well as paint, but they do offer an easy way to encourage kids to explore color, line and expressing themselves in non-verbal ways. The set comes with 12 buttery crayons in chunky plastic that turns up as the color is used. Includes red, yellow, orange, dark blue, grass green, black, silver, neon yellow, neon orange, neon pink, neon blue and neon green. Color on textures and it shows through. They say these can be used on windows and mirrors and washed off; we have not tried them that way.These are marked 3 & up, but we suspect these make a better choice for slightly older kids.

Four textured fabric blocks with interesting patterns, sounds, and peek-a-boo flaps that make them easier for baby to grab and explore. Use these for looking at, touching, and talking games. Stack em up and use a swipe of the hand or a ball to knock them down. They put numbers, letters, and words on them, but by the time baby is ready for those the blocks will be old news. Just enjoy them for their sensory possibilities and for playful games.
Age: Infants. Award Year: 2014.
For laptime sharing, these small fabric books have a squeaker to grab baby's attention and different textures on each page. We like the piggy book best.

It also attaches to stroller for gazing.

Not surprisingly, this is subtitled, Noah's Ark, even though a lot of the animal pairs you might have expected to be here are not. Noah and his wife are here and the Ark could take a lot more passengers. That said, there are 101 pieces in the box and plenty of play potential. You may want to add the African Savannah elephants and rhinos to the other African animals in the set, i.e. giraffes, lions, zebras, monkeys, parrots, and ostriches. There is food on board, a ramp for getting off and on. A classic play setting for the ages. 4 & up.

Chicken Point Cabin Olson Kundig Architect
"The idea for the cabin is that of a lakeside shelter in the woods—a little box with a big window that opens to the surrounding landscape. The cabin's big window-wall (30 feet by 20 feet) opens the entire living space to the forest and lake. Materials are low maintenance—concrete block, steel, concrete floors and plywood—in keeping with the notion of a cabin, and left unfinished to naturally age and acquire a patina that fits in with the natural setting. The cabin sleeps ten."

Monte Novo da Cruz [i]da arquitectos
"Located on the Alentejo Coast, the Monte Novo da Cruz is a rural property strongly characterized by a gently undulating land with slopes sometimes relevant. The presence of a curtain of high trees along the south-eastern perimeter of the site and a dense vegetation near a south-western stream stand out in the landscape. In the centre of the property, in a high position, there is an old rural construction in an advanced state of degradation. The proposal for the Monte Novo da Cruz seeks to establish a contrast dialogue between the existing and the new building which sometimes merge with each other, creating a smooth transition between the past and the present.

Micro Cluster Cabins Reiulf Ramstad Architects
"The client wanted a cabin for the whole family, but at the same time it needed to be divisible in some way. The solution was a cluster of three structures, which can be used individually. Each of the buildings is defined as a clarified geometric volume, organized around the outdoor area that binds them together as one unit.
Toward the northeast, a hill borders and defines the site, together with the view in the opposite direction. The spatial interaction between landscape and the structure creates a beneficial microclimate. This is reflected by the structures' southwest orientation, where the gable end is glazed. In the other directions the buildings appear more closed."

"Conceived as a layering of decks, the beach house seeks to maximize its relationship with the sea through a visual and compositional celebration of horizontality in general and the Mediterranean horizon in particular. The slabs are held by a minimal steel structure made of equally sized square columns on a regular module of 2.55m, as well as a discreet glass enclosure and wooden louvers in varying horizontal and vertical rhythms allowing for a relative level of privacy and shade."

"Situated in a semi-arid conifer forest in eastern Washington, the house is essentially a collection of attached wood boxes springing from three stone piers that bridge the natural undulations of a hill. Designed for a family, the house is purposefully informal in its layout and in its use of interior finishes. Inside, the spaces are open and interconnected. The kitchen, dining and living rooms are essentially one big space with floor-to-ceiling windows; bedrooms are clustered in a less-open portion of the house. A small, detached wood-clad box serves as a home office and is the one concession to privacy."

Black Mountain Michael Light
"The northernmost peak of the McCullough Range, Black Mountain, looms 5100 feet over a geologically typical Nevada basin 3000 feet below. The mountain has been popular for a long time: it's graced with 318 prehistoric rock art panels showing some 1700 individual petroglyphs. Recently it became part of the 48,000-acre Sloan Canyon National Conservation area; a little less recently the basin below became the fastest growing city in the United States. Most recently, since 2008 and the worst American economic downturn since the Great Depression, Las Vegas has suffered the highest unemployment and home foreclosure rate in the nation. Emptied of people, it has frozen at exactly the point where its aspirational excesses were most baroque and unfettered. Las Vegas is the epicenter of a classically American strain of boom and bust capitalism. Historically the Silver State has always veered between the excess and collapse of the extractive mining industry, but air-conditioning, proximity to California, and the retirement lifestyle have brought another economy to Nevada that operates on the same maniacal principles: the habitation industry. In terms of their physical effect on the land, the extraction and habitation economies are two sides of the same coin."

The interior wall are slightly angled, eliminating all right angles. The shift is so subtle (always within 5 degrees of being perpendicular) that while not necessarily noticeable at first, the misalignment heightens one's perception of the space.
The room arrangement is also rotated from the first to the second floor; the stair leading you to another side of the circulation vestibule then on the lower floor, further disrupting the anticipated comprehension of the space.

Ingredient Spotlight: Hedgehog Mushrooms
Ingredient Spotlight: Pink Pepper
Seasonal Spotlight: Matsutake Mushroom
These mushrooms, whose name means "pine" (matsu) and "mushroom" (take) grow under pine trees in Japan, parts of China, and the North American West Coast. They're also found in parts of Northern Europe. Sought-after and prized by the Japanese, these mushrooms can sell for up to $2000 per kilogram in Japan. Here in San Francisco, I found them going for $10 per pound. Their seasonal window is very short, usually from October to January.
My Mushroom Hunting Weekend
Last weekend, armed with my Opinel mushroom knife, I drove 2 hours up Highway 1 to Salt Point State Park on the Sonoma Coast to join other members of the Mycological Society of San Francisco on the monthly Mushroom Foray that the Sonoma County Mycological Association (SOMA) hosts from September to May. Given the recent rains we had on the California coast, I was excited to start rooting through the woods for fungal treasures. The weather was perfect - clear skies and sunny, and not too cold.
Ingredient Spotlight: Chokecherries
What Should I Make With 20 Pounds of Dried Morels?
Good Questions
Q: I have a GREAT problem - 20 pounds of morel mushrooms. We went hunting for them in Montana and dried them; so far we've fried them up, had them in cream sauce over elk steaks, and diced in eggs.
I don't cook with any other mushrooms, though, so am stumped with what to do with all of these now. Even though we have so many, I don't want to go wasting them on random internet recipes — I trust the readers of this site, so would love some suggestions!

Ingredient Spotlight: Huckleberries
One of my favorite childhood memories is spending summers at my parents' mountain home in Highlands, North Carolina. Most days my mom would give me a metal pail and send me out berrypicking. I never had to go far; the woods surrounding our house were laden with blueberries, blackberries, and huckleberries.
Ingredient Spotlight: Thimbleberries
Thimbleberries come from thornless plants found from western and northern parts of North America, from Alaska to Ontario and Michigan. They have a striking resemblance to raspberries in that they are both red, and are made up of individual round globes with a hollow center, and are shaped like a thimble.

A great sauce can take a dish from good to fantastic. In this episode, Martha goes over some classics, starting with béarnaise sauce, a derivative of hollandaise. Next she makes Kansas City barbecue sauce, which is tomato-based with a sweet-tart flavor. Tartar sauce Marthas version includes capers, shallots and cornichons and a tasty cocktail sauce are both beloved staples. Then Martha shows how to make salsa verde, a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, poultry, seafood and vegetables.

First time poster. Glad to be here.
A little introduction to my problem, I am currently having a remodel done on my house and, after the roof was ripped off, I had a nice downpour that broke through the roof tarp.
As a result, I had a few nice leaks through my ceiling. The one I am particularly worried about was a leak that appeared through one of my ceiling fans. It was going at a pretty good pace until my general contractor was able to repair the tarp and stop the inflow of water.
In the interim, besides not using the fan/light, what should I do to avoid destroying my home. Do I need to remove the ceiling fan? Can I just let it dry out over the next few days? Do I need an electrician to inspect the wires?
I have some basic wiring skills, but I am more worried about no future issues arising from this incident.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

your ceiling electrical box should be installed with the open portion down. You may still have water sitting on your drywall or still inside the fan mechanism. You may have to remove the fan, flip it and allow it to drain and dry. Good plan not to use it for a while.
You may need a new fan.

Almost 90 years ago, composer George Antheil conceptualized a piece of art so forward-thinking that available technology could not yet execute it. With their restoration of his revolutionary Ballet mécanique, the Blair Percussion group VORTEX finally realizes Antheil's challenging initial vision, more than 50 years after his death.
Antheil, an American, intended mécanique to accompany a film by French painter Fernand Léger and American filmmaker Dudley Murphy. While this original collaboration didn't work — Léger and Murphy's silent abstract film was released in Vienna the same year — this new restoration marries the two.
Antheil, who earned the moniker "the bad boy of music" and ran in the same Parisian ex-pat circles as Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and James Joyce, composed mécanique entirely from his head, as his Paris apartment was too small to house a piano. The piece quickly earned notoriety for its piercing volume and unusual rhythmic sequences.
"There are 640 time signature changes in this score," explains VORTEX artistic director Michael Holland, who brought the idea of performing mécanique to Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music. "And these are not trifles. These are like, 11/32 time, 5/32, 17/16 — things like this are very bizarre, and when they're slammed together at a breakneck speed, it would be Herculean to think of synchronizing this film manually."
Synchronizing the score to a film wasn't the only problem. Antheil envisioned that multiple robotic or player pianos — his score called for up to 16 — would perform the 28-minute piece. But the player pianos of the 1920s were limited in their capabilities, running on a paper roll that wasn't precise enough for this kind of synchronization.
Thematically, mécanique explored a stark new reality of the post-World War I era — the horrors of war and a grim uncertainty about the future. In his notes, Antheil advised that the piece was "scored for countless numbers of player pianos. All percussive. Like machines. All efficiency. No LOVE. Written without sympathy. Written cold as an army operates. Revolutionary as nothing has been revolutionary." He meant this as a cautionary tale, a warning against overly mechanistic philosophy. Holland likens it to the aural equivalent of Cubism in visual art.
"Slamming things together ... there are moments of silence that are like interstellar space, and a cold, steel-like feel," he describes. "[Antheil] was trying to create this massive mechanistic piece; to create a new language, a new form that speaks to the 20th century."
The 1924 Paris premiere of mécanique featured one player piano loaded with all of the information that would have been put on four pianos, creating a monstrous sound. Then in 1927, a promoter persuaded Antheil to stage the piece at Carnegie Hall, with disastrous results.
"The promoter was overly zealous," Holland says. "He was going to turn this into a big event. Bigger than what Antheil wanted."
The laundry list of things that went haywire include a gaudy Jazz Age backdrop that belied the serious message, an industrial fan (intended to replicate the sound of an airplane propeller) that blew the music off the players' stands and an errant siren that wailed long after the final note was played.
"He was ripped apart in the papers," Holland says. "His career never recovered."
Despite prolific output — more than 300 compositions, including chamber music, operas, film scores, piano solos and works for luminaries such as George Balanchine and Martha Graham — and an unlikely collaboration with Hollywood superstar Hedy Lamarr (the two obtained a patent on a jam-proof guidance system for torpedoes) Antheil never was able to erase mécanique's failure from the public's memory.
But the turn of the 21st century brought digital technology that would allow Antheil's multi-machine score to be played as originally intended. In 1998, Paul Lehrman, a composer and music technologist at Tufts University, converted the score to a MIDI sequence file, which would play on a microprocessor-controlled piano. Lehrman also edited the 28-minute mécanique down to 16 minutes to accompany Leger and Murphy's film. Although Antheil, who died in 1959, was not around to see it, mécanique was reborn.
For VORTEX's performance, which is the finale of a program that includes works by John Cage and Felix Mendelssohn, eight Yamaha Disklaviers — robotic pianos — will play alongside 11 percussionists and two pianists. The airplane and siren sounds are digital samples, so the likelihood of a Carnegie Hall-level catastrophe is slim. In addition to serving as the Southeastern premiere of the restored mécanique, VORTEX's performance serves as the sixth screening of the film with the original orchestration in the U.S.
Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music is celebrating with a symposium, an interactive new media art exhibition and — weather permitting — robots on the plaza. The Sunday night concert at Ingram Hall, like the other events, is free and open to the public, though Holland recommends arriving early.
"This will not happen in Nashville again for at least 20 years," Holland says. "There is too much involved in putting it together."
Even so, the effort has yielded something powerful. Holland says Antheil's message is as shocking and relevant today. "I think people will be stunned," he says. "I think they will be blown away by what was happening now, and 90 years ago. In a sense, how little we've progressed."
