My name is Michele Rossetti and I travel with my camera to pursuit old tales stocked by immagination. I took a plane with my mind from the mountains to the yellow fields without a name, so I took some shots and a piece of paper to write what I saw. To tell a tale of tall horses of the land.

I had the pleasure of embarking on an extraordinary journey alongside the young women of the plains. For months, I followed them, driven by an urgent desire to witness firsthand this extraordinary phenomenon.

The inhabitants of the plains uphold a mesmerizing ritual where daughters set out with their family horse once it reaches old age. They traverse vast distances in search of ancient lightning-struck cedarwood, an essential element in the cyclical rebirth of their steeds. This connection, seemingly twinned by nature's design, maintains a delicate balance in the eternal cycle of life and renewal.

As we journeyed across the expansive plains, the horses, steadfast companions to these women, underwent a profound metamorphosis. Their once agile strides slowed, their lustrous manes transformed into shimmering silver, culminating in a haunting transformation amidst smoldering ashes. It evoked echoes of the tale of the phoenix and the salmon leap.

One remarkable fact is that these girls are always twins and, even more astonishingly, their hair color always mirrors that of the horses themselves.

They share their food with the horses, sustaining themselves solely on grass. Fortunately, I had brought along a few provisions from my last trip in search of the Kelpie, which, alas, I never found. When we found the tree, they ignited a fire using the reflection of the 'mid-day sun,' as they termed it.

Then, an extraordinary moment ensued—the perfect mirror formed in the midst of the ashes, resembling the eye of an ancient deity. The horse became transfixed, gazing at its reflection as if in a trance. Suddenly, it vanished, submerging itself within the ashes.

I was left speechless, witnessing the most captivating revelation. The resurrected horses emerged not in youthful exuberance but in a suspended state of agelessness, growing not in years but in stature—an homage to the timeless dance of life.

Amidst these revelations, amidst whispers of an ancient tradition, I found myself immersed in a realm where time seemed fluid, life intertwined seamlessly with transition, and the age-old secrets of nature murmured tales that ignited both wonder and contemplation.

With my own eyes, I saw the horse emerge again from the ashes, diminished to the size of a toy. I had the honor of drawing close enough to gaze into its eyes, still brimming with memories of its past life. Once the ritual was complete, our journey resumed.

Now, I'm prepared to board a plane and embark on my next reportage.

Todays rip: 10/08/2023

Kirby Joins the Circus!

Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume D

Ripped by berg8793

Requested by @circunflexonoa!

A very fun part of receiving requests for rips to cover is that I get to fall into new rabbitholes of rips with references I'm somewhat in the dark about. I was initially a bit skeptical about covering Kirby Joins the Circus! when I previewed the first few seconds of it, as I just thought it sounded like average circus music. But now, between this and DK Rap God - I worry that berg8793 might be a masochist?

As it turns out, the song being used for this rip isn't just circus music - Circus Galop is an interesting piece of music history in that its effectively the precursor to "Black MIDI", otherwise known as "Music with way too much shit going on at once". Its a song written for the piano, yet frequently features segments of FIFTEEN keys being played at once and an absurdly fast tempo. In truth, the song was actually one of several written to be played on "Player Pianos", which are pianos that play themselves when fed music data. In pushing to create music that could exclusively be played on these devices, Marc-André Hamelin created a song that's impossible to play alone and only barely possible to play with five expert pianists in session.

Now, you take one piece of absurdly hyperactive music history, and combine it with a game franchise that continues to be known for its hyperactive music - Kirby. That's what our good friend berg8793 set out to do here, rendering the entirety of Circus Galop in Kirby 64's unmistakeably hyperactive sound. I covered just how nice Kirby 64's soundscape is in a prior post - Aquadial - yet this is the complete opposite side of the spectrum. Where Aquadial was a pleasant, casual, fun ride through two adored N64 soundscapes, Kirby Joins the Circus! is effectively an exercise in insanity. Yet its far from a direct translation - berg8793 has done an excellent job here in sanding away the song's rough edges to make it far more listenable, althewhile incorporating several different parts of Kirby 64's soundtrack into the piece. Altogether, its a ridiculously high-effort piece with an equally ridiculous source, and its a listen you just can't help but be impressed by more than anything else.

Praise the returning sun! I'm doing a 4-hour charity fundraising stream this Sunday in celebration of the solstice, with the proceeds going to Galop, a UK charity that helps LGBTQ+ victims of all forms of violence and abuse. I'll be playing Vintage Story and trying to survive a four-hour in-game night, playing until the sun rises. Signal boosts are greatly appreciated, as my usual streaming audience is quite small. See you Sunday at twitch.tv/secretfoxfire!

GALOPANDO CON GABRIELA🐎😃

¡¡¡HOLA!!!😃

Este blog trata sobre un deporte muy interesante y divertido.... ¡¡La equitación!!

Si no sabes nada sobre este deporte, has venido al sitio adecuado.

Aquí vais a aprender muchas cosas y consejos que os voy a dar. Hoy vamos a empezar aprendiendo que es la equitación, porque si no sabes que es la equitación, no vas ha entender nada.

¡¡¡¡EMPEZEMOS!!!!

La equitación es un deporte olímpico, que no es fácil. En el se aprende a tener equilibrio, fuerza en piernas y brazos y por supuesto ha trabajar con un animal. Primero se empieza dando cuerda, y luego ya pasas a una tanda, que es donde estas con gente de más o menos tu edad. De verdad todo el mundo piensa que la equitación es un deporte fácil, pero no, es un deporte complicado porque los caballos son seres vivos entonces hay que aprender a entenderlos, pero al final es un deporte muy divertido, de verdad. Creerme llevo mucho tiempo montando. Sí puede ser un deporte un poco peligroso, pero igual que el fútbol, baloncesto... yo por ejemplo me he caído 2 veces, pero me he levantado y he seguido ¿porque? porque es un deporte que me encanta y lo disfruto mucho ,y no os creáis que soy una profesional, aun me cuestan algunas cosas, pero como me gusta mucho me esfuerzo para ser una buena jineta.

Pero no os creáis que solo está la equitación, también están la doma clásica y el salto de obstáculos, otro día os contare sobre estas dos cosas.

Hay muchas escuelas de equitación aquí en Granada, yo por ejemplo monto en la escuela de equitación CAMAURA.

Es un sitio muy bonito y donde se aprende mucho, y además te tratan muy bien.

Aquí os dejo su facebook:

Como ya os he dicho no soy una profesional, pero bueno aquí os dejo un vídeo mío, para que os hagáis una idea: 😜🤪

Aquí me veis galopando y saltando, yo ya he saltado más alto que lo que sale en el vídeo. Galopar y saltar es lo más divertido para mi, sobretodo cuando te toca un caballo nuevo, porque descubres un galope nuevo, porque no todos los caballos tienen el mismo galope, ni mucho menos, cada caballo tiene un galope diferente.

Como os dais cuenta hay distintos caballos, algunos mas grandes, más pequeños, más rápidos, lentos... etc, entonces es como sus galopes, todos diferentes.

Bueno esto es todo por hoy.

Si os ha gustado... ¡¡seguidme!!

O PÉ-DE-SERRA RABECADO

DO QUARTETO OLINDA

Estamos em clima junino de fato, e queremos escavar na memória da boa música, um grupo que marcou época a sua forma. Surgido em 2005 da união de músicos que conviveram nos forrós, boizinhos, cirandas e cavalos-marinhos da Zona da Mata e ladeiras de Olinda no final dos anos 90. O talentoso Quarteto Olinda, é formado pelos talentosos percussionistas Guga Amorim e Bruno Vinezof, o baixista Yuri Rabid e Cláudio Rabeca. Uniram o popular e o moderno sem perder o charme e a realeza, afinal, beberam diretamente da fonte dos grandes nomes da cultura nordestina, do Rei do baião Luiz Gonzaga a contracultura do manguebeat como Mestre Ambrósio.

Trocar sanfona pela rabeca pode parecer estranho e/ou até perigoso para os mais puristas dos forrozeiros. No entretanto, precisou de pouco mais de um mês pra ver que o negócio era a identidade de Pernambuco, alta classe do forró pé-de-serra. Que a linhagem de rabequeiros como Mestre Luiz Paixão, Salustiano, Siba e Antônio Teles, ainda seguia bem representada em Pernambuco, seguindo a tradição de anos, de forma excelentíssima, assim como as canções e os shows efusivos do Quarteto.

Assim que o Quarteto - que originalmente era composto por três percussionistas e um baixista - fez, e muito bem. Investiram na formação que também recebeu uma adição especial em 2006: o pandeiro de Guga Santos, também conhecido como 'Rasta'. Assim o grupo se tornou um quinteto, mas com nome quarteto, mantendo a essência poética e bem-humorada do nome e do grupo.

Falando do menu principal... Vamos tentar passar uma pequenina visão sobre o primeiro e único álbum do Quarteto Olinda. Disco homônimo, gravado no Estúdio Carranca (Recife). É uma grandiosa lapidação da temporada de dois anos e meio (2006 - 2009), a qual se apresentavam semanalmente na Xinxim da Baiana, famosa casa de shows de Olinda, onde cativou público o suficiente para lançar seu disco no mesmo ano em que encerrou a temporada, e fazer turnê Brasil afora, chegando até a receber elogios do então presidente - e agora novamente, vejam só vocês - Luís Inácio Lula da Silva.

O disco traz consigo doze músicas incríveis, num repertório coeso, bem arranjado, autoral e com participações especiais de outros importantes compositores e músicos da cena pernambucana e mundial, como; Mestre Luiz Paixão (rabeca), Tiné (voz), Hélder Vasconcelos (oito baixos), Nilton Jr. (letra) e os gringos Clay Ross (guitarra) e Rob Curt (sanfona), diretamente dos EUA.

Das doze, sete das músicas foram compostas pelos próprios músicos do grupo. O repertório é uma verdadeira celebração ao autêntico forró de rabeca, com influências do samba de matuto e do côco.

E é com a música e simpatia desses nordestinos que a gente tenta botar em dia um pouco desse clima gostoso de São João aqui pelo SK. Verdadeiros representantes da cultura popular e de rua do Nordeste. Prepare-se para dançar ao som dessa mistura de xote, xaxado, baião e muito pé-de-serra com o legítimo For All, que chamo chamegosamente de pé-de-rabeca - genuinamente olindense e verdadeiramente brasileiro.

É XINXIM NO XENHENHÉM!
