Karmann Ghia
A Brief History of Nothing
According to his official biography, Charlie Nothing "is not born, not attending school are not dead, and his main instrument is dingulator. Registration obsessive collectors remember his name in May of 1967 LP Psychedelic Saxophone of Charlie foremost a guitar made the only record label in Takoma of John Fahey. Contemporary listeners may know nothing of his powerful performance as dingulation He calls his music festival in Chicago in 2005, two million tongues. With A list of musicians is difficult to classify, are ideal for this difficult to classify the interpreter. Josephine Foster, who was also on the bill could describe as "the embodiment Ubu Roi" and said, "Charlie seems to lose deeply in the minds of the former interpretation.
In the years between 1967 and 2005, can cross the street with nothing at all the number of places. Maybe it was a loft in New York in the mid-1960s, when he gave a series of shows that had emerged from the drug scene and the jam sessions around your house. Nothing first group, including himself on sopranino saxophone, a percussionist classically trained Indian tabla and a young Japanese woman who recited a litany of everyday objects as deodorant, soap, green shoes, shoes pink, lipstick … "
Then came the early Church and Bank Uniphrenic Band, a group that included a young, pre-Blondie Debbie Harry as should be a part of his vocal first. Besides playing the gate of the town, the band began a series Uniphrenic concert Friday evening in the Manhattan loft from a friend, where everything, including services, was decorated in ever-fashionable black. The loft concerts were very popular – perhaps it was the music or maybe it was the free beer – but the fire department could get close.
Nothing is going to Los Angeles, where he conducted a performance stage with Frank Zappa, joined the cast and closing hair, and a flute concert in Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art. The commissioner said nothing that would not have restrictions on their production so that the concert was place in the men's room after hours for an audience of two.
After moving to Los Angeles, nothing came from the north to the Bay Area, where he lived in a squat in the back of a shop in Haight-Ashbury, sandalwood and the rules of love-ins, North Beach and jazz clubs, as of the time. Nothing The Psychedelic Saxophone of Charlie Nothing during this period. The album contains saxophone improvisation concert gong accompanied by conga and a banjo, ukulele, which was taken from Tiny Tim to the occasion. He also drew the cover. It is not surprising, never collapsed the Billboard Top 100 but not has reached a cult hit in Europe among fans of free improvised music.
There is finally settled in Santa Cruz, California, where he became a beekeeper and an expert in eliminating biting insects. It does not work from 1984 to 2004, feeling that has evolved past the entertaining-monkey-jumping-up and down-in-the-art. "But nothing has been artistically inactive. He has published books (with the name Charles Martin Simon), created the art in different media and even sent a tape of music from Ronald Reagan. The White House responded with a letter of Nice, which opened: "Dear Mr. Nothing, President We appreciate your support … "
And he built dingulators, of course, a kind of instrument he invented. At first glance, a superficial similarities dingulator This with a body style steel National guitar. The number of strings varies, as long as 21, but seven or eight chains is typical. Dingulators increased rates of transport goods similar to a sitar, and each is unique. Classic examples tend to have H scrolls and flourishes reminiscent of a Gibson guitar style 0 or maybe a mandolin Gibson-4. They are made of old cars.
Why cars? "The cars have the right kind of steel," explains nothing. "The car steel is very touching. "But steel has more cars come of age:" Metal on new cars, either American or foreign, is simply not for to quality. "Nothing's current project is to make dingulator a 1965 VW Karmann Ghia. There is a political message in his artistic recycling." It is a sword kind of thing soc "He said." Cars guitars.
Dingulators have steel strings and friction pegs. Its value is variable, organic and scalable. "What Ideally, never settle, to find where they go and go with it, "he said." But sometimes I make adjustments. "There is a very good craftsman and welder. The way each dingulator is hand drawn in chalk directly onto the metal.
Foster said: "I remember Dingulators African instruments, which are masterpieces of folk art. "The African influence is probably true. dingulators Speaking test the origin of any of their favorite kalimba, which had a broken tooth, which has produced a note with Buzz deep. The notes of buzzing was the sound he liked and put the instrument of the household waste.
What dingulator as noise? "They are encouraging and listening Percussion mark their spoken word diatribe, "says Foster. Another benchmark could be Hans Reichel early, pre-daxophone, records updated guitar, music, Derek Bailey, also comes to mind. Nothing, however, is familiar with the two Reichel and Bailey, it seems that evolved dingulation on their own.
Nothing can be in-your-face confrontation, especially in its explicitly political songs, but there are other facets of his music. As shown by the votes of each individual dingulator Nothing improvised music of great beauty, passion and intensity. He played entirely in the moment and is sometimes possessed by spirits music. Nothing What is the musical influences? "Everything," he said. "I am influenced as much by the things I do not like those things. So I have to say I'm influenced by everything. One of things there is nothing like Muzak. You can believe when he promises "never Dingulation in Muzak!
In 2004, he realized nothing was really "jumping monkey" and began performing in public. After playing in small venues in the region Santa Cruz, he began receiving invitations to various music festivals, including Pauze Festival in Ghent, Belgium, and two million tongues festival in Chicago. However, there was a problem with the launch of this new phase of his career Dingulators are not particularly portable. To overcome this obstacle, it has begun work on a smaller version travel. Dingulator built a detachable collar that can be stored in the body, making a compact and indestructible steel carrying case. All dimensions have been carefully planned to meet with international airlines for cabin baggage. Follow airport to see if the bureaucracies will be able to cope dingulation.

VW Karmann GHIA, 1955-1974 by Clarke, R. M. Edition ILL, 0 $28.49 The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia represents one of those unique collaborations between three companies in two different countries: the Volkswagenwerke in Wolfsburg, Germany and Wilhelm Karmann in Osnabruck, Germany, and the Ghia coachworks in Turin, Italy. It also represents the efforts of four men who have all gone down in automobile history for their achievements: Heinrich Nordhoff at VW, Wilhelm Karmann at Karmann, Mario Boano and Luigi Segre at Ghia. From the moment the pretty coupe walked onto the world's stage it went straight into the motoring Hall of Fame. Interestingly, where most coupes of the time had some pretense towards being sporting, generally with a mildly hotted up engine, the Karmann Ghia was simply stock VW Beetle from the mechanical point of view. In other words, it was still a 72-75mph car, it just looked great doing it! And that is why owners loved it. By 1961 VW introduced the Karmann 1500 based on the Type 3 platform to supplement the original. It was nowhere near as successful and was withdrawn from production in 1969, long before its older and more famous sibling. There is a strong and enthusiastic following for the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe all around the world, a movement that seems to grow each year. |
