Friction in discovering Monti Prenestini

Our branding lab will be in support of re-generating a few villages in Lazio, Italy that have struggled with decades of depopulation, disinvestment, degrading infrastructure, and mounting environmental stresses. The region, Monti Prenestini, is undergoing a re-branding this summer by a team of (Italian) MIT architects and designers: we hope to help them think creatively about an experience or offering that the mayors of Monti Prenestini might implement to attract a very specific target “customer” or visitor: the remote-working, “young” family (likely American or European) interested in a long-term residence in Italy.

Right now, as (let’s pretend) a remote-working non-EU family of 4 with sights set on Italy, the journey of “wayfinding” around what Monti Prenestini offers and how the region serves their needs is full of friction. The “customer journey” for this segment of visitor today involves:

Becoming aware of the region as the perfect destination for the experience they’re seeking. Painpoints today: it’s very poorly advertised (missing from any “top 20 places to visit in Italy!” lists and overshadowed by “nomad-friendly” hubs recently established in Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Sardinia, Puglia, Santa Fiora in Tuscany, and Rieti in Lazio

Moving to Monti Prenestini. Painpoints today may include accessibility from Rome, navigating the non-EU visa (self-employment visa, intra-company visa, the EU Blue Card, or latest “digital nomad visa” launched in March 2022 modeled after similar schemes in Germany, Malta, Croatia, Portugal, Estonia, Norway), and finding a place to live (Airbnb options are sparse)

Establishing a life there. Painpoints today including knowing about and accessing the cultural sites (there are a small handful on Trip Advisor, but no other online resource), outdoor activities, childcare, schooling, remote office spaces, culinary offerings, language school, healthcare options, etc.

The paradox here is: our initial research shows that the region’s offerings are abundant and so well suited to this customer’s needs! The MIT team of architects on the ground shared that Monti Prenestini offers exceptional rock climbing most of the year (very unique in Italy), ethical farming practices and farm to table dining, a new bilingual school, a coworking hub, and horseback riding/cycling, /hiking trails that MIT recently mapped out but haven't published publicly:

There’s a clear opportunity for alleviating the “bad” friction in the customer journey today and introducing a new type of visitor that can help revitalize this rural region. Our next step will be to get clearer on these touchpoints within each part of a visitor’s journey via interviews with (current and aspiring) non-EU remote-working residents of Italy, their respective pain points, and pinpoint some opportunities for experimentation by the region.

Global coronavirus cases are surging, driven by India and South America (NYT) The number of new daily cases has exceeded 800,000 for more than a week. The spike is largely driven by the outbreak in India, which now accounts for more than 40 percent of the world’s new cases. The U.S. plans to halt travel for non-U.S. citizens from India starting Tuesday. Vaccines in India are running short, hospitals are swamped and cremation grounds are burning thousands of bodies every day. Health experts and political analysts say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s overconfidence and domineering leadership style bear a huge share of the responsibility for the crisis. Meanwhile, Indians living abroad are frantically seeking to help sick relatives. Much of South America is also faring poorly. Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Peru, Argentina and Colombia all rank among the 20 nations with the highest number of Covid deaths per capita.

Elderly statesman? (NYT) Arnold Schwarzenegger left the California governor’s mansion 10 years ago. He is a more popular political figure today than when he was elected. Over the past year, the former Republican governor, now 73, has been in demand, embracing an unlikely role that he describes as “elderly statesman.” He’s made public service announcements on hand washing, raised millions of dollars for protective health gear and is now being sought out for guidance on the Republican-led effort to oust Gov. Gavin Newsom, the same mechanism that led to Schwarzenegger’s election in 2003. “When you leave office, you realize—well, I realized—that I just couldn’t cut it off like that,” he said in a three-hour interview.

Looming showdown as Michigan governor orders Canadian pipeline shut down (Washington Post) For Michigan’s governor, the 645-mile pipeline jeopardizes the Great Lakes. For Canada’s natural resources minister, its continued operation is “nonnegotiable.” The clash over Calgary-based Enbridge’s Line 5, which carries up to 540,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids across Michigan and under the Great Lakes each day, is placing stress on U.S.-Canada ties. In a move applauded by environmentalists and Indigenous groups on both sides of the border, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) in November ordered the firm to shut down the nearly 70-year-old lines by May 12. Canadian officials, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have appealed to their American counterparts, including President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for help. Joe Comartin, Canada’s consul general in Detroit, said a shutdown would have “significant” impacts on both sides of the border. He predicted effects ranging from months-long propane shortages to higher costs for consumers to fuels being carried by rail, truck or boat—methods that he said are less emissions-friendly and more dangerous than a pipeline. One “irritant,” he said, is “the claim from the state that they are doing this to protect the Great Lakes, that they’re more interested in protecting the Great Lakes than we in Canada are. Basically, we reject that completely.”

NYC Eyes Reopening (Bloomberg) New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said yesterday the city would aim to fully reopen July 1, lifting restrictions on restaurants, gyms, and all other businesses. A return to normal would mark a symbolic moment for both New Yorkers and the country—America's most populous city was a global epicenter early in the pandemic, registering an average of 800 deaths per day last April. The city is averaging roughly 1,700 new cases per day, down 70% since January, reporting about 30 deaths per day.

Kissinger warns of ‘colossal’ dangers in US-China tensions (AFP) Acclaimed diplomat Henry Kissinger said Friday that US-China tensions threaten to engulf the entire world and could lead to an Armageddon-like clash between the two military and technology giants. The 97-year-old former US secretary of state, who as an advisor to president Richard Nixon crafted the 1971 unfreezing of relations between Washington and Beijing, said the mix of economic, military and technological strengths of the two superpowers carried more risks than the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Strains with China are “the biggest problem for America, the biggest problem for the world,” Kissinger told the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum on global issues. “Because if we can’t solve that, then the risk is that all over the world a kind of cold war will develop between China and the United States.” While nuclear weapons were already large enough to damage the entire globe during the Cold War, he said advances in nuclear technology and artificial intelligence—where China and the United States are both leaders—have multiplied the doomsday threat. “For the first time in human history, humanity has the capacity to extinguish itself in a finite period of time,” Kissinger said.

Thousands march in Colombia in fourth day of protests against tax plan (Reuters) Thousands of Colombians took to the streets on Saturday for International Workers’ Day marches and protests against a government tax reform proposal, in a fourth day of demonstrations that have resulted in at least four deaths. Unions and other groups kicked off marches on Wednesday to demand the government of President Ivan Duque withdraw the reform proposal, which originally leveled sales tax on public services and some food. Cali, the country’s third-largest city, has seen the most vociferous marches, some looting and at least three deaths connected to the demonstrations.

Europe’s economy shrinks amid slow vaccine rollouts and lockdowns (Washington Post) With swaths of Europe still under lockdown restrictions and facing a stuttering vaccination rollout, the region’s economy slid into a double-dip recession in the first quarter of the year, in contrast to a rosy outlook in the United States. The European economy shrank by 0.6 percent in the first quarter of the year, according to data released Friday. The U.S. economy grew by 1.6 percent over the same period, amid massive federal stimulus spending and a speedy vaccination rollout. Export-dependent Germany, which had already been heading toward recession before the pandemic as manufacturing dropped off, saw its economy shrink by 1.7 percent, the most in Europe. The economies of Spain, Italy and Portugal also contracted. Much of Europe is battling a third wave of coronavirus infections. Germany has a nighttime curfew in place in 15 of its 16 states, and shopping requires booking appointments and getting a negative test.

Dozens of German police injured in May Day riots (AP) At least 93 police officers were injured and 354 protesters were detained after traditional May Day rallies in Berlin turned violent, Berlin’s top security official said Sunday. More than 20 different rallies took place in the German capital on Saturday and the vast majority of them were peaceful. However, a leftist march of 8,000 people through the city’s Neukoelln and Kreuzberg neighborhood, which has often seen clashes in past decades, turned violent. Protesters threw bottles and rocks at officers, and burned garbage containers and wooden pallets in the streets. There’s a nightly curfew in most parts of Germany currently because of the high number of coronavirus infections. But political protests and religious gatherings are exempt from the curfew.

Big Myanmar protests aim to ‘shake the world’; seven killed (Reuters) Myanmar security forces opened fire on some of the biggest protests against military rule in days, killing at least seven people on Sunday, media reported, three months after a coup plunged the country into crisis. The protests, after a spell of dwindling crowds and what appeared to be more restraint by the security forces, were coordinated with demonstrations in Myanmar communities around the world to mark what organisers called “the global Myanmar spring revolution”. Streams of demonstrators, some led by Buddhist monks, made their way through cities and towns including the commercial hub of Yangon. The protests are only one of the problems the generals have brought on with their Feb. 1 ouster of the elected government. Wars with ethnic minority insurgents in remote frontier regions in the north and east have intensified significantly over the past three months, displacing tens of thousands of civilians, according to U.N. estimates. In some places, civilians with crude weapons have battled security forces while in central areas military and government facilities that have been secure for generations have been hit by rocket attacks and a wave of small, unexplained blasts.

Vaccinated faithful throng Jerusalem church for Holy Fire (AP) Hundreds of Christian worshippers made use of Israel’s easing of coronavirus restrictions Saturday, packing a Jerusalem church revered as the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection for an ancient fire ceremony a day before Orthodox Easter. The faithful gathered at The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, waiting for clergymen to emerge with the Holy Fire from the Edicule, a chamber built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was buried and rose from the dead after being crucified. As bells rang and the top clerics from different Orthodox denominations appeared, the worshippers scrambled to light their candles and pass the fire on. Within a minute, the imposing walls of the old church glowed.

Israel asks whether autonomy of the ultra-Orthodox contributed to the deadly stampede (Washington Post) Israel’s ultra-Orthodox residents exist in a world within the world, citizens of Israel but pledging their allegiance, attention and obedience instead to their rabbis and God. In isolated enclaves, they are exempt from the military draft, outside the national school system and—in apartments usually without Internet or television—largely oblivious to the surrounding culture. Now, this shocked country is asking whether that self-segregation—and the secular politicians who have enabled it for decades—is responsible for the worst civilian catastrophe in Israel’s history, the trampling death of 45 ultra-Orthodox men and boys at a massively overcrowded religious festival in the early hours of the morning Friday. The ultra-Orthodox, or Haredim as they are known in Israel, follow some of the most conservative tenets in Judaism and have a lifestyle based on the Jewish culture that evolved hundreds of years ago in the communities of Eastern Europe. Since Israel’s founding, state leaders have sought preserve this culture after much of it was devastated during World War II. When more than 100,000 members of the Haredim convened for a boisterous annual festival at an ancient rabbi’s tomb on Mount Meron, they overflowed a narrow, sloped compound known to both government and religious leaders as a potentially dangerous setting. Sunday, as the final victims were being buried and flags around the country flew at half-mast in a national day of mourning, multiple investigations were getting underway that will target police planning, local regulators, site managers and national ministries with responsibility for oversight. Already, journalists and whistleblowers have unearthed a shocking paper trail of warnings ignored, recommendations overruled and absent supervision. Officials have been called to account for meetings in recent weeks in which specific recommendations from health and safety authorities were overruled at the behest of Haredi groups.

Migration to Portugal - How Migration to Portugal Residency Programs Work

Migration from Gulf and Asian Countries into Portugal has been in the past few years without any prior historical relationship between the two nations.

The fact that it took so long for the people to take this decision is an indication of how complicated the issue is. At first, it was very sudden, shocking, created a sensation and drew much attention from the international media, policy makers, academia and the public. Today, though, this process is gaining momentum with more people migrating to the country.

For those looking to relocate to Portugal, a migration to Portugal Residency Program can help. This program has helped Gulf and Asian Country Nationals to get permanent residency status in Portugal. They can also benefit from a number of government programs designed to help them settle in Portugal and stay longer in this country. The process of immigrating to this country is relatively easy and takes only one or two months for the application to be approved. Even though the process is relatively simple, there are certain qualifications that have to be met.

If you are interested in this kind of professional assistance, contact Arabian Horizon office based in Dubai, UAE for Migration and you will be given an opportunity to meet professional advisor. The Arabian Horizon office can offer you all the information you need about this program so that you will be able to decide if you want to go through with it or not. The most important thing is to be patient with your own personal decision about whether or not you would like to move to Portugal or not.

hiiiiii!!!! i'm so excited to be in this roleplay!! i've only like, written historical/period muses once and i'm super stoked to do it again! so hi, i'm dan and this is going to be a mESSY yet Soft child. (if you have any writing feedback, constructive criticism, etc, for me, pls do share!)

✧ ━━ the courts of switzerland present ANTÓNIO DE BRAGANÇA of PORTUGAL, the GOVERNOR-GERAL of BRAZIL. the TWENTY EIGHT year old has been BUOYANT and ALTRUISTIC before the break of war but have now become TACTLESS and QUIXOTIC. HE is often remembered by their likeness to KEIYNAN LONSDALE and THE SOUND OF A FLYING ARROW PIERCING THROUGH BIRD'S FEATHERS ; WRINKLED PAGES IN A EXTENSIVELY READ BOOK ; CLICKING FIREPLACE AMIDST THE SOUND OF BED LINEN IN CONTACT WITH SKIN. the rumour mills of europe claim that his allegiance lies with PORTUGAL / BRAZIL and that he is for PEACE.

headcanons ;

Unlike his older brother and Principe Herdeiro, António was not groomed to be a King. Nonetheless, with the birth of various colonies and the creation of numerous titles in regards to them, António soon found himself in a position he'd never craved - of leadership. The title of Governador Geral do Brasil weighed on him, overwhelming an unprepared young man with responsibilities he hadn't foreseen for his near future. However, the guttural feeling of having to appease to his father's wishes took António to and unforeseen yet life-changing adventure across the Atlantic Ocean. In Portugal, he had been so well hidden in the shadows of both his father and his older brother that he had never been able to grow his own political power, which is why the results in the first results in the colony were far less than ideal in King João's plan. Having to learn the ropes of leadership and politicality has been António's biggest challenge so far as Governador Geral, and despite his father's best efforts to suit him with appropriate advisors, António remains disinterested in his role, in spite of his undying desire to please his father.

António has memories from early on in his life of his father's braveness, decisiveness and entrepreneurism. King João had set out to make a name, not only for himself, but for his family, he had a desire to be known for something that would far outlive him. And António, a second born son with no pretenses to the throne, knew from a young age he had to find a way to make himself a part of his father's plan, only to also be remembered for something in generations to come. Against his various attempts to make himself suitable for positions of power as he grew up, António was never quite capable for that. Instead, he often found himself drawn to the arts, the academia, the physicality, the sea - all things his father believed distractions on his path to being a respectful part of the Portuguese nobility. In quiet defiance of his father's wishes for his life, António never stopped spending time doing things he truly loved, and thanks to his mother's secretive support, he always had the best tutors for all his interests. Archery, riding, hunting, reading, writing, painting, sailing - all things he truly loves, but clash with the interest of his country.

Always eager to please others, at a very young age António found ways to do so while still pleasing himself. Talks of his physical encounters with a diverse array of different peoples - nobles and not - roamed the hallways of the palace, and with not so great effort to hide his endeavours, António grew a reputation within Paço da Ribeira's walls - one of lewd nature. A multitude of women and men alike took overnight residences in his chambers for many years, until the day he took to the sea, headed to the colony. Despite his first assumption that being in the New World was the end of his various hobbies, António soon found that a leadership position, along with the distance from his father's rule, enabled his ways more than hindered it. In his new so-called home, the young prince, now turned Governador Geral, found the liberty to enjoy himself, it being sexually or intellectually, in ways he'd never been allowed in Europe.

Presently, taken aback by the emergence of war, António hopes his new-found confidence and pride earns him his father's trust, something he's yearned for his entire life, while still making sure he stays true to the person he discovered himself to be in the colony. The cease-fire, António wishes, will lead the way to the end of the war and the resolvement of every issue regarding Portugal, as soon possible, so that he was resume his duties in Brazil - whatever he means by duties in unclear, as he still has low interest in being a leading part of the crown in the colony.

plot points ;

past and current lovers - António has had plenty of those throughout his lifetime. Men and women of various social classes have laid in his bed with him on multiple occasions, and António has no intention of diminishing the frequency of visits to his chamber, now in Castelgrande. Having been involved with multiple people from within the nobility, Portuguese or otherwise, it would be no surprise for António to encounter familiar faces roaming Swiss territory in this time of trouble. On the other hand, it would be expected of the charming young prince to acquire new lovers in this time of concern and loneliness, be it with people his father would consider allies or otherwise. Despite his father's possible plans to find António a suitable and useful pair in someone, he believes he'll never wish to leave his whimsical ways.

king joão - His father has always been a man with a goal - to put the Bragança dynasty on the map. In some ways, António believed that, to his father, the importance of his familial success was larger than the interest of the country. As a child, António was partially allowed to pursue his own leisure, although he was still expected to be a put-together member of the Portuguese nobility at all times. However, as he grew to understand his surroundings better, António put on the shoes of how crucial it was to appease to his father's wishes, at least as far as King João could see. Avoiding his father's discontent, António found himself in a double-persona situation, creating a obedient and practical appearance of a loyal son to his father's face, but remaining a lively and creative young man to himself.

closed starter for : @drottningbarbara location : Palácio da Ajuda, Lisbon, Portugal ; the Dowager Queen of Sweden’s chambers

. . .

⇢ The arrival to the French court for the Duke of Skåne to accompany the Dowager Queen as her advisor only occurred around a year ago, but it felt as if it were a century to Matthias. Replacing the figurehead who was acting in his name as he matured to a fitting age, an older man with traditional ideals that did not support the Dowager Queen in any way, Matthias managed to prove himself to be the complete opposite of this old nobleman. The man did not seek to advance with Sweden, rather he sought to maintain old ideals and an isolated reputation: the disagreement that came from Matthias caused him to win the favor and kindness of Barbara.

With the new connections Matthias conjured as he introduced himself to new countries and ideas, he only ever used the information he gathered to aid the Queen --- the young Duke of Skåne’s pride did not cause him to want to take the crown from her head, or from the inheritance of the late King’s children. Wishing to discuss her status and relations with other royals and nobles, Matthias traveled to her chambers as the day’s end crept on Lisbon, preparing his thoughts in the short time it took to reach the rooms. While they would speak of public affairs, Barbara managed to become an extremely close figure to him, so perhaps he also was seeking just her company. It was almost impossible for him to remain stealthy as he did so, though; the walking cane made a loud sound each time it made contact with the hard floors of the temporary residence. Fortunately, however, this was not a meeting that held the need to be hidden: an advisor must always address the individual they work for.

Since the guards which stood at her door were already very familiar with the man, they let him pass through, the old doors which allowed entry to her chambers creaking as he pushed them open. “ Your Highness, ” The tone of his voice was relaxed and his volume was soft, clearly indicating he felt comfortable with her. “ I believe we should discuss your standing. There is much we are able to achieve with the rest of this trip. ”

House of Valois & of Habsburg: Mary, The Duchess of Burgundy

Mary was born as the only child of Charles the Bold, The Duke of Burgundy, and his second wife Isabella of Bourbon. Although celebrated lavishly, neither her grandfather nor her father took part in her christening. Her godparents were her paternal grandmother Infanta Isabella of Portugal and King Louis XI. of France, at the time still The Dauphin of France.

For the first six years of her life, she lived with her parents. But when her father became The Governor of Holland, he moved with his wife but without his daughter there. Mary was sent to Ghent to prevent further riots of the citizens there. She was raised bilingual in French and Flemish but always prevered French. Mary received a formal education befitting that of a princess but was never prepared to rule as her parents still hoped for a male heir. This hope ended when Isabella of Bourbon died in 1465. The marriage of Charles and Margaret of York, which happened in 1468, resulted in no further children, keeping Mary as the sole heir.

Margaret, who was only eleven years older than Mary, became one of young woman’s most trusted advisors and friends. Their relationship was described as sisterly. Margaret also taught her stepdaughter the English language.

In 1467, Mary’s grandfather died and her father became The Duke of Burgundy. The 10-year-old Mary was his only living child and became his heir presumptive. Because of that and the wealth the House of Burgundy controlled, she was an interesting marriage candidate. Already five years prior a marriage between the future king of Aragon, Ferdinand II, and her was proposed. Charles, The Duke of Berry - the younger brother of Mary’s godfather King Louis XI of France - approached her as well as Nicholas, The Duke of Lorraine, who was killed in battle in 1473.

The question of a husband would reappear when Mary succeeded her father at the age of only twenty. Her godfather seized the opportunity of a defenseless Mary and invaded great parts of her country. Louis XI presented himself as a patron saint for Mary and demanded of her to marry his only seven-year-old son and heir Charles. Mary also felt pressure from within her country. Only a month after her accession, she had to grant the Great Privilege to her citizens. It included that she had no right to declare war, make peace, or raise taxes without the consent of the provinces and towns and only to employ native residents in official posts.

Mary’s only chance for regaining control was to marry and she did. Archduke Maximilian of Austria, The Holy Roman Emperor’s only son and heir. With their marriage on August 19th, 1477, he became the co-ruler of Burgundy. The couple had three children of whom the two oldest survived into adulthood: Philip the Handsome and Archduchess Margaret of Austria. Philip would later become the first Habsburg king of Castile through his marriage to Queen Joanna “the Mad” of Castile. He was the founder of the Spanish branch of the House of Habsburg. Margaret would marry twice, first becoming The Princess of Asturias and second The Countess of Savoy. Later, she was made the governess of the Habsburg Netherlands by her father after her brother’s death.

Mary of Burgundy died on March 7th, 1482, at the age of only 25 due to injuries she suffered after falling from her horse during a falcon hunt. With her death, her inheritance went to the House of Habsburg through her son Philip. This would lead to a brewing conflict between France and Spain in the following 200 years. If she had not died young, she would have gone on to become Holy Roman Empress through her husband Maximilian I.

Felipe & Letizia’s decade: Trips Abroad

F&L Decade 20/??

Don Felipe and Doña Letizia left Madrid from the State Pavilion of the T-4 of Barajas Airport heading to Portugal on May 30, 2012. They were accompanied by the Secretary of State for the European Union, Iñigo Méndez de Vigo for a three-day official visit.

They arrived in Lisbon at noon and were received by the Spanish ambassador to Portugal, Eduardo Junco Bonet; the Portuguese Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Luis Brites; the ambassador of the Portugal in Spain, Álvaro José de Mendonça e Moura, and the International Relations advisor to the president of Portugal, Luisa Bastos de Almeida.

Their first stop was the Jeronimos Monastery, where, accompanied by the prior of Santa María de Belém, deposited a floral offering in the tomb of the poet Luiz Vaz de Camôes and made a brief visit inside the Church and the Monastery Cloister, accompanied by the director of the Monastery, Isabel Cruz de Almeida.

On May 31st, the Princes of Asturias traveled to Braga, north of Portugal, where they visited the Iberian International Laboratory of Nanotechnology (INL), which is the main scientific project of Spain and Portugal, which was inaugurated in July 2009 by King Juan Carlos and President Cavaco Silva. Felipe discovered a plaque commemorating the visit. Back in Lisbon, Felipe and Letizia held, in the residence of the Ambassador of Spain, a meeting with sixty Portuguese personalities from the social, cultural and business fields.

In the evening, Felipe and Letizia went to the Palace of Quelúz, where the President and his wife offered an official dinner in their honor.

Na temática dos movimentos focados na celebração da música electrónica e respetiva cultura, foco desta vez o panorama nacional. Este post será dividido em duas partes iniciando com uma introdução ao surgimento dos referidos movimentos, no qual será abordado o cenário a sul do país, em particular Lisboa. No entanto, fazendo uso das palavras da editora lisboeta Principe Discos, “Portugal não é só Lisboa”, sendo que no segundo e conclusivo post do segmento será abordado em especifico o panorama nortenho do país, tendo como principal foco o Porto.

Antes de abordar em particular o presente do panorama nacional, considero relevante fazer uma viagem no tempo aquelas que creio ser as suas origens. Durante o regime Salazarista, o espaço na agenda cultural nacional para movimentos semelhantes era pouco ou nenhum, sendo que, no caso de existirem, estes movimentos recônditos eram de tal forma secretos que o seu registo é escasso. Não obstante, com a vinda de retornados oriundos de África, vieram também novas influências culturais e rítmicas marcadas por um novo espírito de liberdade (na abordagem da temática do colonialismo, é relevante não esquecer o mal que causou, daí salientar este novo espírito). Mentalidades abertas abrem também novas portas às quais a cultura musical não foi indiferente. Movimentos começaram a aparecer e artistas a expressar mais ativamente a sua liberdade de expressão, como é o exemplo de Antonio Variações. Despoletado o início do movimento, foi uma questão de tempo e maturação (influenciada pela multiculturalidade e meios de comunicação social) até chegarmos aos dias de hoje.

O panorama da cultura de clubbing lisboeta atual carateriza-se por uma forte liberdade de expressão humana, algo já bastante presente no cerne da mesma. Colocando a ideia numa perspectiva espectral, num extremo temos a cultura orientada para o público em geral e no outro para um contexto mais underground. Consoante a sua localização no espetro, as formas de expressão vão variando.

Mina e Rabbit Hole Num contexto mais underground da noite lisboeta encontramos festas e coletivos como a Mina, que por sua vez se encontra diretamente ligada à Rabbit Hole. Perante relatos e registos online podemos afirmar que esta é possivelmente das noites nacionais que mais se aproxima às noites berlinenses de espaços como Berghain, marcadas por uma conotação fortemente erótica e de aceitação sexual e de género. Inclusive, o próprio lema do coletivo constata isso: “mina aims to bring together ravers and DJs in a techno underground clubbing scene for sexual and gender liberationmina is hedonistic and non-reproductivemina is techno-quantum beatsmina is suspensionmina is sex positivemina is a rave” Este é então um espaço que na sua base promove a aceitação interpessoal nas vidas noturnas e fora delas, aliando às mesmas sonoridades rítmicas de techno e eletrónica mais experimental. No passado mês de Novembro o coletivo realizou algo que muitos movimentos do género ambicionam, uma colaboração com a já falada Boiler Room, tendo presente neste dia de dj sets artistas como Violet, VIEGAS, Photonoz e Marum, todos eles pioneiros na cultura clubbing underground em Portugal.

Aproveito o parágrafo anterior como mote para traçar um breve perfil dos artistas. Violet, falada no post relacionado com a Boiler Room, é uma das mais faladas artistas techno nacionais, tendo sido recentemente destacada pela Resident Advisor e ter marcado presença em Berghain, a cobiçada discoteca de renome alemã. Photonoz é também um nome que à capital do techno europeia não é estranho, sendo também ele um artista em ascensão, nacional e internacionalmente. Como estes todos os outros artistas do coletivo crescem como um todo, fazendo desta uma “familia” singular de djs e ravers. Um relato mais detalhado do que é uma das noites descritas pode ser lido em O Corvo.

Lux Frágil Num contexto direcionado para o público geral existem espaços como o Lux Frágil, uma discoteca lisboeta que conta com uma história bastante longa no panorama de clubbing, sendo esta um dos principais focos nacionais na referida cultura. Falar sobre a história da música eletrónica e cultura clubbing em território nacional sem referir este espaço é praticamente impossível. Podendo ser tomado como "mais uma discoteca", não deixa de ser um marco importante na cultura que ainda nos dias de hoje procura agradar o seu publico com nomes maiores no panorama da música eletrónica, mesmo que, para um público global pouco ou nada digam (apesar de ser um espaço aberto a um público mais abrangente, toda a cultura de clubbing não deixa de ser algo mais recôndito e considerado underground ou alternativo, o que por sua vez faz com que o que acontece no seu interior não tenha grande projeção exterior). Nomes como Fjaak e Marcel Dettman ou ainda nomes do coletivo/editora anteriormente falado como VIEGAS, já deixaram por lá a sua marca.

[Em modo de apreciação gostaria de destacar a presença do espaço nas redes sociais, desde o seu design à interação com o público, este é, a nível pessoal, uma referência no meu trabalho.]

Como é possível constatar a capital portuguesa tem espaço para todo o tipo de pessoas na vida noturna dedicada ao techno, para encontrarmos qual a melhor para nós é preciso investigar, sair e dançar. No próximo post a temática será semelhante, no entanto 300km a norte - Porto.

Lumières sur le Neopop festival

Jasmine, c’est un peu comme la grande sœur admirable dès que tu commences à aimer un peu la techno. C’est le genre de personne qui se réveillait déjà en 5ème avec Gesaffelstein en le programmant soigneusement sur son téléphone. Le même genre de personne qui était déjà fanatique des pionniers dès le collège, qui pouvait tenir à l’âge de 12 ans un débat sur tel ou tel sample utilisé par ceux qu’elle écoutait. C’est celle aussi qui connaissait absolument tout le vocabulaire à connaître pour analyser la musique, alors que la plupart des moldus recalés à l’entrée de poudlard et à l’âge d’y être ne distinguaient généralement pas une musique d’une autre, et qualifiaient, comme les non- initiés, toutes ces créations de « musiques électroniques ».

Jasmine est désormais une daronne de 20 ans. Il y a un peu plus d’un an, elle rentrait d’un voyage au Portugal et commençait alors sa propagande sur le Neopop. Durant la période qui a suivi, quand une personne rencontrait Jasmine celle-ci jouait de sa force de persuasion pour nous convaincre que, effectivement, le Neopop était le meilleur peut-être seulement un des meilleurs) festival de techno d’Europe . Sa propagande était presque aussi réussie que celle de Macron durant la campagne présidentielle de 2017.

Je fus l’une des personnes à se faire avoir. (Par Jasmine,pas par Macron ) Mais c’était avec le plus grand enthousiasme, car Jasmine se trompe rarement en terme de musique.

Bon, il est vrai qu’avec ses connaissances empiriques et théoriques sur la musique techno, elle possède cette légitimité qui fait que quoi qu’elle dise, son discours musical sera toujours légitimé et entendu. (Bourdieu, Ce que parler veut dire, 1982)

Le Neopop, c’est donc un petit festival qui réunit, depuis 2006, les plus grandes têtes d’affiches des festivals mondiaux et qui propulsent les nouveau-nés grandioses vers l’avant. Situé à Viana Do Castelo, à une cinquantaine de kilomètres de la ville portugaise de Porto, le festival s’est installé sur le port industriel de la ville entre les remparts du fort et les machines du chantier naval. Il dispose également d’un spot camping incroyable niché au bord de la plage, présentant tout ce qui est nécessaire à la survie durant le marathon que constitue le Neopop. C’est cela qui m’a particulièrement marquée lors de ma première venue, un événement parfaitement ficelé offrant donc une qualité de prestations au delà même des attentes des festivaliers. De la propreté des sites à la qualité du sound system sans oublier la programmation très pointue, nous fûmes forcés de constater que c'était pour nous un très bon festival.

Cette année, je m’y suis rendu pour la première fois (à nouveau pour JA) en cherchant absolument un élément qui ferait en sorte que le jugement de Jasmine soit biaisé : Malheureusement, il n’en fut rien. De la vue sur la mer depuis le camping à la qualité de la musique, en passant par la propreté des lieux. ( Oui oui ça compte même chez les technophiles) J’y étais allé principalement pour St Germain, Kink ( encore et toujours), Zadig, Paula Temple, Aleksi Perala, Jeff Mills, Capriati, len Faki, Marco Carola, Paul Ritch et pour enfin voir Recondite plus d’une demi heure de suite. J’en retiendrai principalement trois choses : Ricardo Villalobos, la nuit du vendredi au samedi, Autotune de Blade Runner qui a été à peu près samplé plus de 106 fois par nuit, si on y inclut les expériences musicales plus ou moins formelles du camping. ( Oui, j’ai pu les compter lors d’une belle nuit d’insomnie).

I.Ricardo Villalobos: et si son set pouvait à lui seul raconter la sucess story du Neopop?

Un samedi matin d’été, vers 9h. Ricardo Villalobos, annoncé comme le favori du festival pour beaucoup, arrive sur la neo stage. Le soleil commence à briller de plus en plus, la fatigue aussi. Il faut dire que Villalobos clôture un marathon d’une envergure assez hors-norme:

venait alors de s’enchaîner sur la même scène Paula Temple, Joseph Capriati , Jeff Mills et Len Faki. Si vous ne comptez pas Jasmine dans vos amis et que par conséquent, vous pensez avoir du mal à comprendre la qualité de la scèn, nous pouvons dire pour vous aider que celui-ci représente les plus grosses têtes d’affiches de festival depuis quelques années ou également que ces derniers ont à peu près tous figurés sur la couverture du célèbre magazine de musique électronique Trax.

Bon, nous risquons de vous saouler assez souvent avec des biographies car nous adorons en faire mais comme je sais que cela peut-être vu comme une passion aussi étrange ou aussi monotone que d’adorer lire des listes de prénoms, si ce n’est pas votre cas, je vous invite à vous rendre au paragraphe souvent.

Villalobos est le type de personne qui s’est vu attribué plusieurs fois le titre de meilleur DJ ou qui du moins figure presque tout le temps dans le top de Resident Advisor.

Un homme classique, par définition.

Arrivé à Berlin à l’âge de 3 ans, à la suite du coup d’Etat de Pinochet ( Pour que cette article soit interactif, nous vous laissons le soin de trouver sa première nationalité ainsi que son année de naissance) .

Villalobos est sensibilisé à une pluralité d’écoutes musicales grâce à sa famille mélomane. Cela l’encourage à commencer la musique de façon très précoce, et à se spécialiser dans l’apprentissage des congas et du bongo. Adolescent, il est, comme beaucoup, fan de Depeche Mode. Il commence un peu plus tard à écouter Daniel Miller, Thomas Melchior, Baby Ford, Daniel Bell, Andrew Weatherall…

D’une certaine manière, nous pouvons affirmer que Villalobos a suivi un schéma assez classique de musicien né dans les années 90 : les nouvelles sonorités Pop l’ont amené à apprécier de nouveaux artistes qui l’ont conduit à apprécier les nouvelles sonorités qui se font connaître petit à petit ( Detroit, puis la seconde vague de Detroit qui inspire principalement notre jeune M. Villalobos : Richie Hawtin en est, il nous semble, le meilleur exemple)

Il se met à composer ses propres morceaux à l’âge de 18 ans. Rapidement, son succès est reconnu et l’artiste devient professionnel dans les années 1990. Il compose son premier EP en 92 et devient résident de clubs réputés comme l’ Omen en Pologne.

- Retour au Neopop : C’est donc après avoir entendu parler de tout ça, avoir entendu Villalobos sacré par plusieurs connaisseurs comme un des principaux représentants de la techno minimale que nous arrivons à 9h du matin devant lui.

Je ne connais pas tous ses anciens morceaux, mais j’avais principalement en tête son remix de Samuel Rohrer, ‘’ Microcosmoism’’.

Son set débute , il balance des tracks très house et groovy (notamment Blaze-Lovelee Day ou Paul Rutherford-Get real). Après une trentaine de minutes il bascule vers de la disco house, “Pick Up” de l’allemand DJ Koze et nous surprend en plein milieu de son set en passant un célèbre chant révolutionnaire portugais à retrouver ici: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilLAnUXZvm0

Il enchaine ensuite avec son célèbre track “Up” réalisé en collaboration avec le tout autant loufoque Butch. (Butric)

En conclusion, Ricardo, par sa danse si pure derrière ses platines et même par sa disparition de 20 min est un de nos meilleurs souvenirs de set, au point qu’il mérite amplement les lignes que nous lui avions consacrés. Nous aimerions pouvoir affirmer qu’il s’agissait là d’un des meilleurs set de Villalobos, malheureusement paraît-il que tous ses sets sont plus déjantés et chouettes les uns que les autres.

Ce qui nous a particulièrement marqué, c’est peut-être cette absence si singulière mais qui paradoxalement cloue, marque sa présence face au public.

II. Et si le vendredi 9 représentait une émeute dans l’histoire de la révolution technologique ?

Oui, rien que ça. Le néopop, c’était un peu comme faire la révolution. Un grand marathon où le bien commun musical ( bon il n’existe certainement pas) est mis à l’épreuve des besoins fondamentaux des individus.( Manger, dormir). Un grand programme révolutionnaire, en somme.

Ce jour peut-être considéré comme une émeute, car il a, à mon humble avis, participé à la future révolution musicale qui pourrait advenir ces prochaines années. Nous l’attendons avec impatience, d’ailleurs.

Car ce marathon commencé à 18h et fini vers 9h a vu défiler sur la même scène des artistes à la fois très différents et à la fois si inspirés par leurs prédécesseurs : Un peu comme si des petits révolutionnaires en herbes, inspirés par Marx, Bakounine, Engels, Spinoza, Bergson, Bourdieu ou encore Foucault, se retrouvaient au même endroit. Si ces derniers sont devenus Lordon, le comité invisible, les rédacteurs de Lundi matin ou encore Serge Halimi, les voir, les un après les autres, évoquer leurs mêmes racines communes en même temps s’en éloigner chacun à sa manière fut un grand moment , en bons petits révolutionnaires technofiles que nous sommes.

A) 20/22h :Solomun, le petit Bernstein de la bande

Quelle bonne idée de placer enfin Solomun au début d’un emploi du temps. Déjà élu lui aussi DJ de l’année ( en 2012) Solomun a su célébrer le début de cette émeute comme il se doit. Ayant la capacité, quasi divine, d’allier les différents styles de musiques électroniques ( house, deep house et techno majoritairement) il a su faire de même ce soir la, en commençant avec des tracks bien mélodieux comme il en a l’habitude. Petit à petit, à mesure que l’appréciation des lumières du Neopop se faisait plus importante grâce à la disparition du soleil, des rythmiques bien plus saccadées prenaient petit à petit place.

son set a su séduire le public très éclectique du festival aux dépens de l’Anti stage qui resta bien vide durant ces deux heures.

B) Appolonia, un membre discret de la ligue spartakiste?

22h00 à 1h. Il est a noté qu’un des éléments particulièrement cool du festival était que les artistes jouaient la plupart de temps de longs sets, et que 3h était plus ou moins la moyenne communément admise. De fait, cela éliminait le principal inconvénient habituel en festival : la courte durée des sets, généralement 1/1H30, qui permet seulement une petite introduction de la musique de l’artiste.

Par ailleurs, les artistes s’enchaînaient particulièrement les un après les autres sur la scène du Neostage.

22h, donc, Solomun cède sa place à Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom et Shonky, qui a eux trois forment le trio français Appolonia.

Le début du set renoue avec le début de la soirée, lorsque Solomun a pris les platines. Avec ce set de sonorités en général très proches de la house, c’est peut-être le set qui dénote lle plus des artistes de la soirée, en étant bien plus proche de Chicago que de Détroit.

En attendant, il fait bien noir maintenant, et le superbe jeu de lumière commence à être visible. Nous vous l’assurons, les lumières du Neopop valent presque autant le coup que toute cette programmation ahurissante.

C) Recondite, Lénine ?

De 1 à 2h, nous avons laissé place au set du talentueux Recondite.

La petite heure de set de Recondite lui a permis d’apparaître dans cet article, car son set était, au même titre que les autres, une émeute dans la techno.

Recondite, avant, c’était un peu le gars que tout le monde avait déjà vu jouer mais que je n’avais jamais réussi à voir.

Pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas, il me semble que cette phrase, écrite par un journaliste de trax ( article non signé ) est très pertinente : ‘’ Ses productions sont millimétrées, variées, deep et souvent mélancoliques. Apprécié du public, qui l’a élu meilleur live 2014 selon RA, Recondite aime avant tout composer de la musique au format club pour des scènes de festival’’.( citation à retrouver dans l’article “ Recondite: la techno est définitivement plus populaire en France qu’en Allemagne’’ de trax, écrit par Antoine Miclea en avril 2016 )

Avec un style très varié, il évolue entre la techno minimale, desfois acid, à des productions souvent perçues comme mélancoliques, avec leurs tempos plus lents.

Recondite, c’était en quelque sorte le lénine du communisme de la soirée : Avec des accents et des sonorités plus mélodiques au début qui le lie et l’enchaîne bien après Appolonia, son set évolue en renouant avec les origines pures de la deuxième vague de Detroit.

D) Adriatique… Classable ?

2/3h30. Les plus fragiles d’entre nous sont rentrés depuis bien longtemps ( Jasmine lol) et nos deux amis d’ Adriatique rentrent sur scène. Les lumières du Neopop dansent, s’évadent pour revenir sur scène et repartir de plus belle avec des couleurs nouvelles.

Reprenant les sonorités du début de set de Recondite, ils commencent leurs Set avec un format, lui aussi, plus club et mélodique. Une vidéo de leur set en entier est disponible ici : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPr7vl15qo0&t=2273s

Petit à petit, les lumières deviennent de plus en plus impressionnantes, les basses résonnent de plus en plus et de manière de plus en plus répétitive. Le talent est repérable au fait que cette accélération ne se ressent pas tout à coup, mais d’une manière graduelle.

E) Nastia, : Rosa Luxembourg <3

5/7h. Sous de sublimes lumières rouges, Nastia, l’ukrainienne ayant fondée son label Propaganda, arrive. Son set est écliptique, passe surtout très vite. Nastia c’était cool, et je pense qu’il est difficile de dire plus de choses, tant pis pour les cours d’argumentation de première.

Son set du neopop lui vaut l’attribution de Luxembourg, fidèle et attaquante, comme ce qu’il faut.

F) Ben Clock, Babeuf ?

7h. Les lumières ne sont plus visibles, Ben Clock le devient. La perspective de devoir écrire quelques lignes sur Ben Clock m’effraie : écrire lors d’une petite initiation à l’écriture journalistique sur le grand monstre du Berghain me paraît même dérisoire. Ben Clock, comme indiqué dans le sous titre, peut être associé au Babeuf de la révolution, si on excepte le fait que celui-ci est adoré et vénéré de son vivant, et qu’il n’est pas avant gardiste mais plutôt très discipliné dans une pureté musicale, que le festival des nuits sonores décrit comme ‘’une techno brute et rectiligne’’ (citation utilisé dans le trax interview de Ben Clock) même si ses influences sont diverses et c’est cela qui fait tout son charisme. Au Neopop, Ben Clock, faisant part à un public sûrement plus averti que la moyenne des festivals , a cependant usé de son charme de résident ainsi que de membre du label Ostgut Ton et de tous ses habitus pour réussir son set. Ce fut réussi.

C’est ainsi que l’émeute termina : la révolution non achevée du Neopop nous donne l'irrépressible envie d’y revenir l’an prochain.
