For the Love of Pylons - October 10, 2024
"This post is warmly dedicated to all who admire and love pylons, insulators, corona rings, power plants and everything else that is the electrical transmission grid that sustains and supplies our daily lives with precious electricity."
Last week, I got up early to catch the beautiful sunny day and was out shooting pylons and electrical lines for this post. It was a cold, windy a.m., but the autumn sun made up for it. I got busy getting these shots with one of my recently refurbished vintage Pentax digital cameras and am happy to report its performance was stellar.
I live in the outskirts of my city and my hood is a few blocks away from a behemoth power station which provides electricity to the entire south east side. Before our subdivision was developed in in the early 2000s, it was vast farmland and acreages, thus the wooden power line poles and aged electrical lines still exist in some areas of the hood.
They haven't been replaced with newer ones but but I'm okay with that. It's a statement to these poles and transmission equipment that they were solidly made and have passed the test of time. Why fix it if it's not broke!
Did you know the Eiffel Tower was designed like a large pylon? If you are interested, have a peek at the fascinating 'Origins and Construction of the Eiffel Tower'.
More to come as the weather gets colder and the frost and snow do their chilly thing! Enjoy my photos and thanks for stopping by!

Vava Vol Featured on Sentieri Sonori - September 30th, 2024
This evening at Sentieri Sonori:
Unorthodox
musical behaviors. The encounter between a stray dog and a rebellious boy. A
love that kills its lover. Reminiscences on a legacy of the late Middle Ages.
Review of learning curves.
From 10pm to
11 pm CET on Diuffusione Stereo Digital Radio @diffusione_stereo.
Live on
www.diffusione.net or on the Diffusione Stereo app.
Repeat this Friday at the same time.
On tonight's show, Sentieri Sonori will be airing Unanswered Prayers, Buoyancy and Do Be Disturbed, 3 tracks from Vava's latest album 'A Eureka Moment!'.
Sentieri Sonori's Narrative for the Show
'Vava Vol’s latest album ‘A Eureka Moment’, has truly been her personal eureka moment in all aspects of its production. Some days she would have an idea for a track which never materialized as expected, as her instruments hi-jacked the track and took control of their own voices. On other days, recording flowed like the Nile! Combining the Yamaha no input mixer through a Boss GT3 guitar processor, the Zoom 24 drum beats and a rare Theremin B2 was challenging with respect to instrument amplitudes. Nevertheless, she overcame this beautiful learning curve!
Over the summer, Vava redesigned her home
studio to welcome the Korg 2015 re-issue of the original ARP Odyssey synth and a
Boss VO-1 Vocoder effect pedal. This new
gear will add its own soul to her future sound while mixing in with other
instruments. A new album is presently underway to be released in October, with
each track having its own YouTube video.
Another fun piece of gear Vava has
acquired is a vintage Fostex multitrack cassette recorder, a new addition to
her no input mixer family. Good
news! Euphonious Music Vol. 3 is currently
in motion with recordings starting in December.
How does she do it? To maintain a balanced flow, Vava combines her daily outdoor activities with yoga, meditation and Reiki. These practices power her artistic creativity and provide a healthy body, mind and soul, as self-awareness and self-healing are key to her wellness. As she dips into the Universal infinite well of creativity, Vava’s audio/visual sensory stimulations are on high alert and ahead of the curve. The perfect high voltage energy for future projects!'

Montreal's Duotang at the Pyramid Club in NYC (1982) - September 28, 2024
In the fall of 1982, our 80s electro band, Duotang travelled from Montreal to New York City to perform at the Pyramid Club's notorious Sunday night 'Whispers'. Thanks to my photographer friend Jacques Perron for snapping these amazing black and white shots of our show. It would be 2014 before I would see these photos when I received them from Erik Cimon, the producer of the documentary film 'Montreal New Wave'. The sound track is the electro noise 'Ribbon Man'. Enjoy!
