    Georgia O'Keeffe, one of the most original painters America has ever produced, left behind a remarkable legacy when she died at the age of 98.

    Clade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 354min
    A provocative, urgent audiobook about time, family and how a changing planet might change our lives, from James Bradley, acclaimed author of The Resurrectionist and editor of The Penguin Book of the Ocean. Compelling, challenging and resilient, over ten beautifully contained chapters, Clade canvasses three generations from the very near future to late this century. Central to the novel is the family of Adam, a scientist, and his wife Ellie, an artist. Clade opens with them wanting a child and Adam in a quandary about the wisdom of this. Their daughter proves to be an elusive little girl and then a troubled teenager, and by now cracks have appeared in her parents' marriage. Their grandson is in turn a troubled boy, but when his character reappears as an adult he's an astronomer, one set to discover something astounding in the universe. With great skill James Bradley shifts us subtly forward through the decades, through disasters and plagues, miraculous small moments and acts of great courage. Elegant, evocative, understated and thought-provoking, it is the work of a writer in command of the major themes of our time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ian Bliss.

    Rodel Tapaya
    At the heart of Rodel Tapaya's work is his ongoing amalgamation of folk narrative and contemporary reality within the framework of memory and history. Utilizing a range of media - from large acrylic on canvasses to an exploration of under-glass painting, traditional crafts, diorama, and drawing - Tapaya filters his observations of the world through folktales and pre-colonial historical research, creating whimsical montages of his characters. Inherent in the work is a tension between objective investigations of art and the subjectivity of perception and experience, providing his work with an enigma that comes from the impossibility to paint a story without revealing inflections made by the painter's hand. Rodel Tapaya is one of the most active artists in Southeast Asia today. His breakthrough came when he was awarded the coveted Top Prize in the Nokia Art Awards, which allowed him to pursue intensive drawing and painting courses at Parsons School of Design in New York and the University of Helsinki in Finland. He completed his studies at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts. Arndt Art Agency (A3), founded and directed by Matthias Arndt, provides artist management and advisory services as well as staging exhibitions in the commercial and public sector in art institutions worldwide. DOUBLE STANDARDS was founded in 2001 by Chris Rehberger. A workshop dedicated to communication and culture based in Berlin.

    How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
    A hilariously candid account of one woman's quest to bring her post-baby marriage back from the brink, with life-changing, real-world advice. How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids tackles the last taboo subject of parenthood: the startling, white-hot fury that new (and not-so-new) mothers often have for their mates. After Jancee Dunn had her baby, she found that she was doing virtually all the household chores, even though she and her husband worked equal hours. She asked herself: How did I become the "expert" at changing a diaper? Many expectant parents spend weeks researching the best crib or safest car seat, but spend little if any time thinking about the titanic impact the baby will have on their marriage - and the way their marriage will affect their child. Enter Jancee, her well-meaning but blithely unhelpful husband, their daughter, and her boisterous extended family, who show us the ways in which outmoded family patterns and traditions thwart the overworked, overloaded parents of today. On the brink of marital Armageddon, Dunn plunges into the latest relationship research, solicits the counsel of the country's most renowned couples' and sex therapists, canvasses fellow parents, and even consults an FBI hostage negotiator on how to effectively contain an "explosive situation". Instead of having the same fights over and over, Dunn and her husband must figure out a way to resolve their larger issues and fix their family while there is still time. As they discover, adding a demanding new person to your relationship means you have to reevaluate - and rebuild - your marriage. In an exhilarating twist, they work together to save the day, happily returning to the kind of peaceful life they previously thought was the sole province of couples without children. Part memoir, part self-help book with actionable and achievable advice, How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids is an eye-opening look at how the m ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sunrise Vol. 1
    Pt. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO : SUNRISE (vol 1) This album presents three selections typifying the quintessentially symbiotic relationship between the genius of Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao and his art form. All three performances are rooted in the natural metaphor of a rising sun. 1. Miyan Ki Todi In the canon of the classical music of India there is no Raaga more traditional than Miyan Ki Todi, the creation of which is originally attributed to the doyen of Indian composers Miyan Tansen (1506-1585). In this performance Panditji meticulously preserves Tansen's prescribed tonal structure while delineating four original, modern compositions intermingled seamlessly in a single movement of varying rhythmic meters. True to Panditji's reputation, ancient tradition finds new voice for a future worthy of it's roots. Alaap, Chota Khayal (Jhap Taal, 10 beats/cycle), Saadra (Jhap Taal, 10 beats/cycle), Drut (Teen Taal,16 beats/cycle) Tabla Accompanist: Pt. Giridhar Prasad Jaipurwalle Swarmandal: Pt. Anant Bhonsle 2. Bairagi Bhairav In this performance, Panditji presents a deeply introspective interpretation of a rare melodic scale. Pensive and sonorous, the original composition mines the intricacies of the lower octaves to delineate a mood of spiritual enlightenment. Upon contemplation the attuned ear can fathom oneness of sound, beauty and spirit. Bada Khayal (Vilambit, Ek Taal, 12 beats/cycle) Tabla Accompanist: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar 3. Bhoopkali This selection is a live encore performance of one of Panditji's own contributions to the canon of Indian classical music. Literally meaning 'flower born of light / sunflower', the composition is a fine example of Panditji's impressionistic muse. The music sparkles with innocent vivacity and elegant wisdom. Intellectual music, the composition seems to say, can entertain. Drut (Ek Taal, 12 beats/cycle) Flute Accompanist: Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Tabla: Sanjay Kumar 'No substitute for his flute...the complete master' - The Hindustan Times "A volcano of creative expression' - The Indian Express "His flute is an unending fountain of myriad melodies, always fresh, always original." - The Patriot 'Creator of beautiful, wide and ethereal canvasses.' - The Deccan Herald '20th Century Renaissance Genius.' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer 'Intensely romantic...lyrical...extremely serene.' - Rave Magazine "Innovator in the world of music.. a versatile genius." -The JS Magazine "Seeker of truth through music. One of the greatest flautists of this world" - The Times of India "Reflective music, refreshing and genuinely haunting" - The New York Times "Awe inspiring. Freshness and finesse in every note. Marked by gay abandon, innovativeness and imaginative vitality." - The Statesman "Suave tonicity, lyricism, rich melodic beauty" - The Listening Post Pt. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO : SUNRISE (vol 1) Originally recorded live in Bombay, India and Springfield, VA, USA Digitally re-mastered at The Red & Green Company, VA, USA Special thanks to Smt. Lakshmi V. Rao CD version of SUNRISE (vol. 1) manufactured by Disc Makers, Philadelphia, PA, USA Sound Executive Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Executive Producer Sanjay Kumar © (p) 2013 by Pt.

    Sunrise Vol. 2
    SUNRISE (Vol. 2) presents three live recordings of performances in the morning by Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao, symbolizing the ascending vitality of modernism in traditional Indian classical music. Like SUNRISE (Vol. 1), this album of exceptional artistic brilliance features music rooted in the natural metaphor of a rising sun. "Makes the notes dance and quiver in an enchanting manner, spouting mellifluous melody in a variety of tonal nuances, embellishing delectable compositions notable for a refined sense of design..." - The Times of India Typifying the genius of the legendary flautist-composer, the music in this album represents innovation that imparts freshness in melodic composition and elegance in execution to traditional musical structures, enhancing their appeal whilst maintaining the dignity of classicism. AHIR BHAIRAV In this live, recorded performance Panditji interprets in his inimitable style a variation of the oldest known scale in traditional Indian classical music. The rendering summons ethereal emotion that blends a deeply felt spiritualism with romantic visions of a sun rising over a rustic country scene, in which Lord Krishna - in the guise of a cowherd playing the flute - tends to his flock of cattle, preparing them for the day ahead. In the hands of the finest flautist-composer of our time the weight of tradition mingles seamlessly with rusticity and heart-felt devotion. Tabla: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar BHOPAL TODI In this live recording Panditji interprets a rare variation of one of the most popular scales in Indian classical music. The performance emotes compassion and heartfelt empathy with those who suffer physically, intellectually or spiritually. The elegiac composition leans on unadorned musical notes - shorn of technical dazzle - to highlight, without obtrusion, the unassailable dignity of the spirit amidst what chaos there may have been. In the process, classicism finds new meaning appropriate for the modern condition. Tabla: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar HINDOL In the spirit of this album's character highlighting Panditji's devotion to Lord Krishna, this selection features his interpretation of a Raga traditionally associated with an image of Lord Krishna reclining on a swing, surrounded by his devotees. The atmosphere is suffused by playful reverence. An early morning's ambience burnishes the joie de vivre. Panditji's composition is delectable in that the melody easily straddles the subtle ground between elegance and intellectualism, even as it uses rhythm and tempo to present an objective, physical picture of a divine swing in perpetual motion. That the enchanting melody is essentially based on four musical notes - skillfully woven into a substantive, poem-like song - is a testament to Panditji's artistic genius.

    Mystic Light
    There is more to this music than just playing guitar and singing. We wanted to enhance the whole experience. As painters of music we bring more tools to the easel. Combining instruments, lyrics, music composition, and arrangement, with acoustics, and recording engineering/mastering, the goal is to create many different canvasses. There is a rich array of musical colors available in the world, we seek to bring them together in song. Each one is unique. A bright or joyful song may have Bluegrass or Rock, a sad or melancholy song may use more Jazz colors. We hope you enjoy these offerings, and always look for the edge... musical compositions that retain their beauty, yet are different enough from what is typically practiced... The Feathered Edge.

    Rainbow: A Tone Poem
    PT. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO R A I N B O W : A TONE POEM R A I N B O W : A TONE POEM is an orchestral work exemplifying the innovative canon of music by the legendary flautist, composer, conductor, choreographer and poet Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao. The work highlights Panditji's lifelong pursuit to spark social change through brilliant, pioneering music. At it's heart, R A I N B O W is a work of art that represents the best in music. Some of the finest Indian vocalists, percussionists and instrumentalists collaborate to perform a dazzling composition that spans the gamut of human emotion. R A I N B O W's soul transcends cursory musical ambit by articulating the divine symmetry between notes of a musical scale that collaborate to make music, and colors of the spectrum - that make for a rainbow. When diverse human beings unite in the face of calamity, the rainbow thus formed is a beautiful example of what is possible. After all, like the colors of light that originates from the sun, diverse human beings share a common, unifying origin. R A I N B O W is composed as a tone poem in two parts. Part 1: WORK IS WORSHIP This composition describes life in a small farming town, a metaphor for our world. When drought disrupts life as it is meant to be, it's inhabitants are distraught. Unquestionable faith in God comes undone. Relationships are tested, the townspeople resort to devious practices. Righteousness is up for trade. In this god- forsaken land, to each his own becomes the unmentioned rule for survival. Then a lonely farmer with nothing better to do picks up his plough and tills his small, barren plot of land. I know nothing else but to farm, he says. And he tills and he prepares his land - defying signs of futility. Soon, his neighbor joins him. Despite a lack of fresh grain the owner of the flour mill reopens it's doors, making pre-purchases of grain from the farmers on credit. The local grocer pitches in, buying invisible flour from the mill. What townspeople still remain, visit the grocery and, despite little resource, buy what flour they can on the basis of trust. The school reopens - children prepare for their future. Soon, there is renewed optimism in the air. An uncommon, emotional vigor pervades despite what is real. The townspeople have in them the consummation of their most cherished wish. Lo and behold: the clouds gather in the sky, there is rain, and the drought is dispelled. Faith is not subject to fate - when the faithful unite despite calamity, work is worship. Part 2: UNITY IN DIVERSITY This composition mines the intrinsic diversity in musical tone, rhythm and arrangement to delineate one truth: that diversity is at the core of lasting, beautiful unity. At the height of prosperity the farming town thrives on interdependent differences. The farmer produces food for consumption. The lender provides money for new ventures. The teacher infuses future generations with values. The priest instills faith. The trader introduces new ways and means of living. The physician heals. The mayor organizes. The artist shows a vision of a world that can be. Each needs the other. With time, each believes there can be no life without the other. When adversity strikes this society it's diversity makes it resilient. The inability of one element to thrive is more than compensated by the collective efforts of the others. As in the transcendent emotions evoked by a composition that relies on the creative use of some (not all) notes in a scale, so does a society express unique emotions born of the collective efforts of some of it's constituents. The rest plow life's challenges in the firm belief that their turn will come. By making brilliant use of the diversity inherent in his musical palette, Panditji's composition makes such truth come alive. Diverse musical scales drive variegated melodies set to rhythmic cycles of varying meters. One melody seamlessly blends into another, preserving it's nature while suggesting what is common. In theme and music, abstraction finds eternal life resulting in a work of profound art. ABOUT PT.
