""FUNNY FACE" ALSO FORMALIZED HEPBURN'S WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FRENCH COUTURIER HUBERT DE GIVENCHY."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on assorted screen look of Audrey Hepburn as Jo Stockton in the classic romantic-comedy/musical "Funny Face" (1957), directed by Stanley Donen. Costume designs by Edith Head & Hubert de Givenchy. Paramount Pictures.

Resolution from largest to smallest: 2560x3840, 1600x2000, 1600x1946,1600x1595, 1553x2000, & 1400x2000.

"Dedicated fashion fans were always destined to fall for Stanley Donen’s film, a Cinderella story that charts Jo Stockton’s journey from shy bookseller to runway model following a fateful meeting with photographer Dick Avery. Insiders immediately recognised Kay Thompson’s Maggie Prescott as a thinly-veiled version of legendary magazine editor Diana Vreeland (just watch as she summons her underlings for an editorial meeting and her subsequent rendition of “Think Pink” – Miranda Priestly could never). And "Vogue" photographer Richard Avedon didn’t only inspire Fred Astaire’s character, he actually contributed to the film: the images that appear in the title sequence are his.

"Funny Face" also formalised Hepburn’s working relationship with the French couturier Hubert de Givenchy. The fashion-obsessed actor (she’s said to have splashed some of her "Roman Holiday" pay cheque on a Givenchy coat), first approached the bemused designer to create costumes for her role in "Sabrina" (1954), but too pressed for time, he let her choose from his collections instead. The film later snagged an Oscar for Best Costume Design, and when Edith Head neglected to mention Givenchy’s contribution in her acceptance speech, Hepburn insisted that the designer create all of her screen looks from then on… starting with "Funny Face." The result was a wardrobe that remains a fashion touchstone almost 70 years later.

Whisked to Paris from Greenwich Village to model the collections, the influence of the outfits Jo Stockton wears both on the runway and off in the musical can be spied everywhere from the Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress, to Lily Collins’s "Emily in Paris" wardrobe, to Bella Hadid’s bedroom walls. Countless contemporary red-carpet looks have their roots in the dresses Jo modelled on screen, be it the the red strapless gown that featured on film posters, or the sleek ivory column dress overlaid with a pink cape, both finished with elegant elbow-length gloves."

Early 1990s love song in a heavily damaged cassette

(Side B, final track)

Now this cassette has an interesting story..

It's called "The Cement Cassette" for a reason...

This cassette tape from the early 1990s (possibly 1992?) Is from the junkyard, but it didn't come in a pile, but this one was covered in lots of dry cement, and I mean YEARS of it. causing the original cassette case to easily deteriorate. I mean there was a hole in it and the bolts were heavily corroded At least I saved the tape.

I've tried a bunch of tactics to restore the cassette, but it was overplayed. So some of the tape had to be cut because it was also very worn out. At least the middle part was not damaged tho. And I tried a bunch of cassette cases, but only this beige coloured one worked.

The cassette had love songs from the 1990s.

If you know the singer(s) tell me the name of the song and the artists--

Sorry the vibration thing was my phone xD

Edit: Found it.

Phil-American Period It was the daily life at the Escolta business center of Old Manila. My grandparents moved to this city during World War II, wherein a new life blossomed for them upon the liberation of Manila in 1945.

Look at the cars and the men in suits by the American Hardware. Signs of the times, indeed.

""FUNNY FACE" IS A TOTAL FANTASY OF LOVE AND PARIS..."

NOTE: So my FF soundtrack finally arrived in the mail earlier this week, and here's what it looks like! O glorious day!

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on partial sleeve/CD package art for the Original Sound Track Recording of Paramount Pictures' "Funny Face," the 1957 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Stanley Donen and written by Leonard Gershe, containing assorted songs by George and Ira Gershwin. The album was remastered and re-released on CD in 1996 under the Verve label.

SOUNDTRACK OVERVIEW: ""Funny Face is a total fantasy of love and Paris. It also boasts the lyrics of George and Ira Gershwin, the dancing of Fred Astaire, and the presence of Audrey Hepburn. They are all accounted for on this reissue of the classic soundtrack, and it goes without saying they don't make 'em like thus anymore. (The film was directed by Stanley Donen and had the visual wit of Richard Avedon, by the way.) A collaboration among talents such as these couldn't miss -- and it didn't.

Relive the charm and beauty that made "Funny Face" one of the best musicals of its time. As Joe Goldberg says in his liner note, "what is required is innocence" -- this movie and its audience had it, though the era of the classic musical was soon to vanish."

-- VERVE RECORDS, c. 1996

The Cradles of Electronic Music – Part 1

Pioneering spirit, unbridled curiosity, radicalism in artistic thinking, dissatisfaction with the status quo and the rejection of any boundaries shaped the climate into which electronic music was born. Artists and technicians, musicians and physicists were the parents who brought new music to the world in the 1950s - electronic music. Some of them called their works timbre music, others still stuck to terms like atonal music for a while, not having found a more adequate term yet. (Just to set things right: “atonal music” simply means not adhering to traditional harmonic concepts of a key and/or a mode – that´s it, no specific relation to electronics at all.)

In Cologne it were people like Werner Meyer-Eppler, a physicist and information theorist who had published a book about producing music using only electronics back in 1949.

And Rober Beyer, a composer and audio engineer, who had been thinking of a so called “Klangfarbenmusik” (timbre music) since the 1920s (not thinking exclusively of electronic equippment though).

The composer and music journalist Herbert Eimert was one of the other participants of the founding meeting of the NWDR (later WDR) “Studio für Elektronische Musik”. Eimert had been a “musical rebel since he started studying musical composition in 1919. His works and musical ideas were radical to such an amount, that he was expelled from the composition class at the Cologne “Musikhochschule”.

Fritz Enkel was the technician, who took up the ideas of the aforementioned musicians and scientists, put them into an “electro-technical” concept and brought the studio to real life.

Later composers and muscologists like Karlheinz Stockhausen and others used this studio for their musical artwork.

And also in Milan is was the liaison of music and science that brought to life the “Studio di Fonologia Musicale”. The musicians Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio initiated it and together with the physicist Alfredo Lietti, who developed the technical concept, they created the biggest studio of this kind and of their time, even better and larger equipped that the studio in Cologne.

Luciano Berio´s earlier works were influenced by Igor Stravinsky. He entered the realm of early electronic music from a rather serial approach. Later indeterminacy and probability became more and more important in his compositions and productions. Spoken words became a poart of his pieces soon after he started working at the Studio di Fonologia Musicale.

Bruno Maderna was not a composer based mainly in electronic music. Electronic music was “just” one of the fields he worked on. Maderna was a real “multi-genre” composer (and conductor, and teacher): orchestral works, kind of chamber music, music for specific instruments, electronic music. It´s interesting, that he also composed a work for non-electronic instruments (flute and cymbals) plus tape, introducing tape to live performances even before Xenakis did so.

Alfredo Lietti designed and manufactured most of the equipment of the studio in Milan. It was essential for the “birth” of this studio, that Lietti was able to transfer the ideas and needs of the two musicians into technical instruments, which he invented and made. Another extraordinary feature was his skilfulness in using parts of broken electronic devices, designing whole circuits around them to reach the goal, that was set by the musicians. After leaving RAI in 1962 he worked at the Plasma Physics Research Center in Lausanne.

The charm and appeal of these “old” techniques, the workflow, that these machines ask for, a workflow so much different from how we are used to produce our music today, has never stopped to attract artists and make them try to take more than just a “sniff”, but to produce some works with the technique of the 1950s/60s. The studio in Cologne is still available. The picture shows the German musician Bernd-Michael Land while working on the “Aliens-Project” in 2018.

… to be continued
