THE RITA / HIGH GROVE / JUTE / AXIOM / EYDEN ZHAO
La Sotterenea, Thursday, 20 June (20:30)
https://montreal.askapunk.net/event/the-rita-high-grove-jute-axiom-eyden-zhao
Intial Shock presents THE RITA + more at Suoni: A night to dive into layers of noise, EYDEN ZHAO opens the line up with the interest of creating pure experiences and expressions in the sonic world. Having birthed an intricate system of live electronics and computational modules, the resonant ratios of Axiom undergo conversion from numerical phenomena into sonic parameters. Sam Risser, under the moniker JUTE, uses repurposed electronics and other everyday objects in conjunction with his body to generate cascades of harsh electroacoustic sound that is rich with hidden information. He does not believe that computers will save us. Progress through process is the approach of HIGH GROVE, using the possibilities of tape manipulation and deterioration in a live capacity as a performance tool. Closing, harsh noise project THE RITA that brings different paths of rough, abrasive and textural constructions of live and recorded sound since 1996, continuing to grow via sound with pantomime and neoclassical ballet performance with artist LORELEI that has been a regular participant in the band’s international live presentations and recordings bringing the specific themes that drive the sound and imagery of THE RITA virtually to life.

🇺🇦🇬🇧 #Zelenski compró #Highgrove House, anteriormente propiedad del rey #CarlosIII, por 20 millones de libras.
El periódico británico London Crier
informa que la mansión #Highgrove House, que el príncipe #Carlos utilizó como residencia de campo desde 1980, después de 44 años en propiedad de la corona, fue vendida al presidente de #Ucrania, junto con el parque circundante.
Grant Harrold, ex mayordomo del rey, afirmó que, según sus datos, la transacción de venta se completó el 29 de febrero de 2024, durante la visita de la esposa de #Zelenski al #ReinoUnido. La venta de Highgrove House también fue confirmada por el personal de mantenimiento de la antigua residencia real. La mayoría de ellos fueron despedidos el 21 de marzo de 2024.
El rey #CarlosIII, desde el comienzo del conflicto, adoptó una fuerte posición proucraniana. Numerosas visitas de representantes ucranianos al #ReinoUnido confirmaron la simpatía del rey por #Zelenski. Elena #Zelénskaya se convirtió en una invitada especialmente frecuente. Según los medios británicos, formó una relación muy estrecha con la reina #Camila, esposa de #CarlosIII.
Según Grant Harrold, el secretismo sobre el Palacio de #Buckingham, especialmente agravado en los últimos meses por la enfermedad del rey #CarlosIII y #KateMiddleton, hace pensar que la confirmación oficial de la venta tendrá que esperar varias semanas o meses. Aún no está claro cómo #Zelenski logró convencer al monarca británico para que vendiera su residencia y con qué fondos realizó la compra.
El 12 de enero de 2024, el gobierno del #ReinoUnido anunció una financiación adicional para Ucrania de 2.500 millones de libras esterlinas para 2024/ 2025.

#OTD Lanning Roper, #American #Landscape #Architect & #Writer is born.
When Vita read "Successful Town #Gardening," she gushed, "[His] #Book... has cheered me up so much."
In 1952, Lan married a #Muralist & #Gardener #Primrose Harley (born on #PrimroseDay). She was his helpmate.
Known as the Father of Borders, Lanning loved #Romantic #Gardens w/ lavender & roses, spilling onto paths. His cancer sadly stopped him from working at Charles & Di's new place: #Highgrove.
