Of the album, The New Yorker Magazine asserts that “opera would do well to pay attention.” Micaela recently premiered an opera-film based on her critically acclaimed album (co-written with Rhea Fowler), Bakunawa: Opera of the Seven Moons through REDCAT, Los Angeles. Micaela’s recent work re-imagines the precolonial mythology of her motherland, the Philippines and challenges Euro-centric narrative through the blending of noise, drone, and opera. Micaela Tobin is a soprano, sound artist, and teacher based in Los Angeles, who specializes in experimental voice and contemporary opera. Through drawing and painting she tackles questions such as the representation of collective memories and emotions, as well as transmitting invisible dimensions of life, stories that are often forgotten and taken for granted. Neïla Czermak Ichti (1996) recently graduated from Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. His work puts the observer at the centre of a complex, ever-changing world. Robert Breer’s ‘Floats’ reveal an unstable present. Fascinated by the idea of animating images he transformed his paintings into flip books and later animated videos, exploring interactions between color, speed, and the appearance and disappearance of shapes. Born in 1926 in Detroit, Michigan, he died in Tucson, Arizona in 2011. Robert Breer worked in different media including sculpture, painting, drawing and film.
Listeners are encouraged to consider the soft and subtle hums of the motorised sculptures as part of the music. The piece is written for quadraphonic sound, creating a different auditory experience for the listener, depending on where they are within the space. Glacial Hymn, composed by Micaela Tobin and Rhea Fowler (Los Angeles, CA), is inspired by the slow movement of Rober Breer’s ‘Floats,’ in tandem with his often humorous recollections of attending church as a child. Tamora Pierce brings readers another Tortall adventure Alianne is the teenage daughter of the famed Alanna, the first lady knight in Tortall.15. And then, they casually drift out of the picture. With great tranquility, they seem to follow random paths, introducing a kinetic energy that proliferates the possible points of view of the very moment. Made of painted styrofoam, neutral in color and shape, the motorized objects move slowly, animated like buoys in the sea. The ‘Floats’ are like nodes that mark the convergence of multiple trains of thought. Robert Breer’s rug sculpture hovers through the gallery. Removing the rug might open a trap door into the grainy duplicity of what we call common reality. How many hours have you spent watching or playing cartoon characters getting their heads flattened by frying pans and bodies smashed into accordions? Slapstick slyness is the trickster’s weapon of choice, neither villain nor hero but both, one and the other. At the center of each of these books is always a strong and resourceful young woman who masters the arts of swordplay and. Pulling the rug out from someone’s feet, metaphorically unsettling someone’s belief and material existence, is a classical slapstick trick. To the great joy of her many fans, Tamora Pierce with this book begins a new saga of Tortall to add to The Song of the Lioness Quartet, the Immortals Quartet, and The Protector of the Small tetralogy. Trickster’s Choice is intelligent, beautiful, powerful, and of course, features a strong female protagonist. This newer work by Tamora Pierce reminded me why I loved her Song of the Lioness quartet so much. When something is swept under the carpet it may not attract attention and is not mutable. These books defined my literary formative years, and discovering Trickster’s Choice thrust me back into those beautiful worlds.
