books, Dormir Num Mar de Estrelas. Vol. 1, Livros


O espaço esconde segredos sem fim. Ela acaba de encontrar o mais mortífero.

Sobre a Obra:

Durante uma missão de rotina num planeta não colonizado, a xenobióloga Kira Navárez descobre uma relíquia alienígena. O seu entusiasmo inicial transforma-se em terror quando o pó que agora cobre todas as superfícies começa a mexer-se. Já na nave, descobre que algo vive dentro dela, algo capaz de extrema violência.

À medida que a guerra estala entre as estrelas, Kira é enviada numa odisseia de alcance extra galáctico, uma viagem de descoberta e transformação que a levará a questionar o próprio significado da condição humana. Enquanto Kira enfrenta os seus próprios horrores, a Terra e as suas colónias encontram-se à beira da aniquilação. Agora, Kira pode ser a maior e última esperança da humanidade.

Sobre o Autor:

Christopher Paolini nasceu no Sul da Califórnia e viveu a maior parte da sua vida em Paradise Valley, no Montana, com os pais e a irmã mais nova, Angela. Foi a sua paixão pela fantasia e a beleza natural do Montana que inspiraram o fantástico cenário de Eragon, o primeiro livro do Ciclo da Herança. Tinha quinze anos quando escreveu a primeira versão de Eragon, que acabou por ser publicado em 2003, transformando-se de imediato num sucesso mundial. Seguiu-se Eldest, o segundo capítulo do Ciclo que acompanha Eragon e o dragão Saphira, e depois Brisingr e Herança. Artista talentoso, Christopher desenhou também as ilustrações dos livros. Nos seus tempos livres gosta de afiar facas, entreter-se com videojogos, levantar coisas pesadas, e procurar exemplares perfeitos de cadernos com capa em pele.

A Filha do Comunista, books, Livros


Sobre a Obra:

Um romance íntimo e político que narra a vida de uma família de emigrantes espanhóis na Alemanha de Leste, traçando em simultâneo um retrato da Berlim Oriental, uma cidade constantemente alerta, através do olhar de uma rapariga que vai crescendo sob a égide da República Democrática Alemã.
A vida de Katia, as suas opções e a irreversibilidades dos seus atos poderiam ter sido contados de inúmeras maneiras, mas a prosa de Aroa Moreno Durán, brilhante e incisiva, devolve beleza ao peso da História e valeu-lhe o Prémio Ojo Critico de Narrativa 2017.

Sobre o Autor:

Aroa Moreno Durán nasceu em Madrid, em 1981. Estudou Jornalismo na Universidad Complutense, especializou-se em Informação Internacional e Países do Sul. Publicou dois livros de poesia Veinte años sin lápices nuevos e Jet lag e é autora de duas biografias, uma sobre Frida Kahlo, Viva la vida, e outra sobre García Lorca, La valiente alegría. A Filha do Comunista é o seu primeiro romance.

Eivør – Segl (Album)

Eivør, Eivør - Segl (Album), music, Musica


Faroese electro folk pop artist Eivør was release her new album ‘Segl’ on September 18, 2020. Including co-production from Lana Del Rey collaborator Dan Heath, and featuring an appearance from Ásgeir, ‘Segl’ is the follow-up to Eivør’s widely-praised 2017 release & UK commercial debut, ‘Slør’, which also triggered her debut appearance on Later….With Jools Holland. Eivør is soundtracking the current series of Netflix/BBC flagship The Last Kingdom (co-written with Ivor Novello/BAFTA-nominated John Lunn), with her music previously also synched on Homeland & Game Of Thrones alongside hit video games Metal Gear Survive and God Of War. The release of ‘Segl’ will be accompanied by a 34 date international tour, including 4 UK dates kicking off at London’s Union Chapel on October 22, 2020.

Eivør Pálsdóttir is an artist perfectly attuned to the savage vicissitudes of nature. Born & raised in Syðrugøta, a tiny community on one of the northerly Faroe Islands, Eivør grew up surrounded by the windswept landscape of the North Atlantic, a backdrop that has deeply influenced the elemental electronica she creates. Songs such as ‘Tides’ & ‘Fog Banks’ have tied themes like love and growing old to the primitive environment of her youth; she wrote ‘Into The Mist’ about getting lost as a child on a local mountain, Støðlafjall. Forthcoming record, Segl – Eivør’s ninth, since releasing her debut at just 17 – builds on these motifs, exploring the journeys we undertake, both metaphorically and physically. The title – meaning ‘sail’ in Faroese – alludes to our desire for growth and direction, and the role of fate. “You have to hoist your own sail,” notes Eivør; “but you cannot control the wind.” ‘Segl’ explores the navigation between the soft and rough edges of life – the balance that must be struck between strength and vulnerability, dark and light. “How will you find calm in the chaos?”

It’s a question that’s tailed Eivør since the release of ‘Slør’, an English-language version of her 2015 album of the same title, whose Faroese lyrics she spent an 8-month period translating into English, alongside fully re-worked music. With numerous side projects and collaborations also competing for her time, ‘Segl’ is the culmination of “my longest process of writing and creating an album”, a fact that, Eivør says, “definitely” shaped the music. But then, so has her illustrious career to date, and a life spent honing her singular musical talents.

Eivør immersed herself in music from 13, fronting a trip-hop band after discovering seminal albums by Massive Attack and Portishead. Gigs soon followed, held afloat in rowing boats, in the pitch-black darkness of a huge cave on the island of Hestur. At 16 Eivør quit school, moving alone to Reykjavik to release her debut album and pursue classical singing training. She has since won the Icelandic Music Prize, twice – the first non-Icelandic artist to do so. The approval of contemporaries including John Grant and Ásgeir, a move from Iceland to Copenhagen, and numerous sync spots across TV and film are all testament to the crossover appeal of her music. Eivør also collaborated on the soundtrack for Metal Gear Solid and performed to a global audience of 50 million at the launch of God Of War.

Such itinerant tendencies have bled into her music, with ‘Segl’ no exception. “My creative process can be very chaotic and abstract, so I need to find the space to dive deeper into it and sculpt it,” she says. “After sitting on songs for a year or more, I’d go in and edit the melody or the lyrics. Sometimes the production too. The whole album is very much about change, so it’s quite apt.” Working closely again with Faroese composer/producer Tróndur Bogason (also her husband), the extra space allowed Eivør to explore programming and production more thoroughly than ever before, marking a completely different way of working. She pulled apart the writing process, focusing on a free flow of ideas, and enriching collaborations with other writers and producers.

The impetus to seize control of life is writ large across ‘Segl’. Single ‘Sleep On It’ heads off a night of insomnia with stabs of synthesiser and an exhortation for calm & clear-sightedness, whilst ‘Let It Come’ harnesses inner power to deal with whatever life throws your way. Elsewhere, the spectral ‘Mánasegl’ counsels in clear terms, taking its title from a Faroese word for “moonsail”, the highest sail found on square rigged clippers, and also known as the hope sail, or hope-in-heaven.

Eivør’s modern electronica has long been deeply informed by the brutal beauty of the Faroes, assimilating strings that swell almost like storm clouds, alongside synthesiser and percussive elements that land almost like the crash of waves. There are also subtler ways this woven into ‘Segl’, not least on the tracks Eivør has created with Golden Globe nominee Dan Heath. Their partnership brings ‘Segl’ to a spine-tingling conclusion on ‘Gullspunnin’. With lyrics written by poet Marjun Syderbø Kjælnes and a title meaning ‘cocooned in gold’, it transmits the essence of the islands – as Eivør puts it; “The magic play of light, fog, and astonishing contrasts that are unique to The Faroes”. Elsewhere, it’s no coincidence that ‘Skyscrapers’ equates the struggle for self-awareness to breaking beyond a city’s towering horizons. Other collaborations across ‘Segl’ see Ásgeir accompany on vocals, while Norweigian Einar Selvik, frontman of Wardruna, adds sonorous depth to ‘Stirdur Saknur’ ‘the frozen-loss’). “I wanted to be very playful,” says Eivør; “Visiting other people’s creative world, and inviting them into mine. Something magical happens when two different worlds meet, it expands the space. And it’s full of contrast; that’s quite interesting to me.”

There it is again – contrast. Change. Stepping outside one’s comfort zone. In a way, we’re all adrift on our own personal sea, looking for meaning and wondering which direction to take. Segl is an exploration of this, but also a record that suggests that everything will be ok; as Eivør says, over the last three years she’s “felt both deep doubt and cloudless confidence. I was lost and found again a hundred times.” That’s the real beauty of life; no-one knows where that wind in their sail will take them.

Tracklist:

01.Mánasegl
02.Let It Come
03.Sleep on It
04.Hands
05.Nothing to Fear
06.Truth
07.Skyscrapers

books, Livros, O caderno dos sonhos


O amor de uma mãe não desiste

Sobre a Obra:

Thelma é mãe solteira de Louis, um adolescente de 12 anos. Como todas as mães, faria tudo pelo seu filho, mas as solicitações de uma vida profissional exigente sobrepõem-se mais vezes do que seria desejável aos pedidos de atenção do jovem.
Numa fatídica manhã, tudo muda: irritado com a falta de atenção da mãe, zangado e desiludido, Louis acelera no seu skate e, poucos metros adiante, é colhido por um camião. No hospital, o prognóstico é pouco animador. Louis está em coma e não há sinais de recuperação. Thelma enfrenta o seu pior pesadelo. Em casa, enquanto reúne algumas coisas do filho, Thelma encontra um caderno onde Louis tem vindo a registar os sonhos que gostaria de concretizar. A mãe decide, então, viver por ele cada um desses sonhos.

Talvez recupere. Talvez volte para ela. E, se não voltar, Louis terá pelo menos vivido pelas histórias da mãe a vida com que sempre sonhou.

Uma história comovente sobre amor, família, esperança e, acima de tudo, sobre o que é realmente importante na vida.

Sobre o Autor:

Julien Sandrel nasceu em 1980, no Sul de França, e vive em Paris. O caderno dos sonhos foi o seu primeiro romance e um fenómeno mundial, tendo sido traduzido em 24 países e adaptado para o cinema.

NOVAA – The Futurist (Album)

music, Musica, NOVAA, NOVAA - The Futurist (Album)


In the wake of her eponymous debut LP from last year, Novaa looks to the future on her new album “The Futurist”. At least, a future; before a time-line we were forced to think altogether differently; before we had no idea what was happening tomorrow, let alone next week or toward the end of this year!

Novaa is to alt-pop what the look of Pls Pls Me inspired me to expect of that duo, on the vocal spectrum that incorporates Catatonia’s Cerys Matthews and Björk. Back in 2016 during the Novaa / Moglii collaboration, their body of work incorporated all the effects and sounds that emanate more often than not from the TripleJ and DoubleJ transmitters. She backed that one up later that year with the “Stolen Peaches” EP which was actually a nine-track collection of pop, trance, and other electronic danceable gems.

Last year’s record “Club Paradise” was three mixes of the title and the Occupanther remix of Denim Queen on the B-side which had a distinct reggae/dance-hall/dub feel to it. The LLUCID remix of Club Paradise merges so many different styles and sounds you lose track! Eastern-bloc movie-theme effects and heavy-bassed effects that Matt Bellamy has used on the last 2-3 MUSE albums to name just two. The DLA Remix is more your latter-day Kylie-pop offering; while your Paul Mond remix is your Ibiza rave / 1990s Ricky Martin La Vida Loca-styled Latin track aimed right at the solar-plexus and hips alike.

The one thing I have loved most about dance-music since the 1990s is the way a producer or DJ can take a basic track and make it into something altogether different: a metal track could be turned into a slow-and-sad ballad, as an example, and the three remixes here just offer Club Paradise to a whole range of audiences. Beautifully done, team Novaa!

But now to “Futurist”, and from the opening notes of AI Am In Love to the closing Day In A Life-fade of Planet Earth, we are treated to oh so much more Novaa. The voice has grown and matured and her work spans so much of the musical spectrum whilst retaining the beats, wherever possible, sometimes unexpectedly. The songs are as deep and powerful as the production values that go into creating them: Alien and In Vitro stand out as surprise acoustic-guitar ballads, and the title leaps right back out after the softer, gentler segment of the record. Universe Lullaby builds to a crescendo from a Laurie Anderson-inspired love-song; and Cyber Room speaks, in a meld of Alien and LLUCID to a common issue in today’s connected world: “I thought I was safe in here”, with the pace and instrumentation of the track suggesting that she was never going to be safe from her stalker.

Tracklist:

01. AI Am In Love
02. Drones
03. Elon
04. Alien
05. The Futurist
06. Universe Lullaby
07. To Be Yang
08. Cyber Room
09. Star Child
10. In Vitro
11. Planet Earth
