Statt Vor-Ort-Besuch, mal was anderes: Wir analysieren die Live-Show zum Auftakt der Gamescom: Die Opening Night Live! Wie hat sich der Keighley-Bot geschlagen? Warum war die Präsentation der Gamescom-Awards in etwa so liebevoll wie die Pflegeeltern von Harry Potter? Was steckt hinter dem Gamescom goes green Award? All diese essentiellen Fragen werden beantwortet und über das Thema "Games" reden wir tatsächlich auch noch!

Seit Jahrhunderten träumen sich Menschen an real existierende oder fiktive Orte. Orte in der Gegenwart, in der Vergangenheit, in der Zukunft. Viele davon finden sich auch in Spielen wieder oder beeinflussen ihr Aussehen, ihre Konzeption und die Interaktionsmglichkeiten des Spielers. Zusammen mit unserem Japan-Experten Mathias sprechen wir über Gemeinsamkeiten dieser Orte über Kulturen hinweg, über Ursprung und Funktion dieser Idylle und spekulieren, ob sie vielleicht im Hintergrund einiger aktuellen Debatten eine Rolle spielen.

Mary Harrington discusses how the sexual revolution was not the beginning of feminism but the end of it. She traces the history of feminism which was women's aggregate response to the Industrial Revolution. We've been living under an order that calls itself feminist but is really transhumanist or bio-libertarian, the cyborg era, underwritten by tech, which valorizes freedom above all else. The birth control pill was really the first transhumanist technology, followed by gender ideology. The whole world will at some point have to grapple with the cyborg theocracy because it is spreading. She wonders why it is so often women who are the advocates for abolishing biological sex and blames the "laptop class". She also believes social media cucked everybody.

Peter Straughan | BAFTA Screenwriters’ Lecture Series

The penultimate lecture of the 2012 series was recorded on Friday 26 October. Brian Helgeland is one of Hollywood's master screenwriters of intelligent crime film, and has won an Oscar for LA Confidential and a BAFTA nomination for Mystic River. He has also collaborated with Tony Scott (Taking of Pelham 123, Man On Fire) and Paul Greengrass.

In this lecture, Helgeland urged screenwriters to 'fight' to assert themselves in front of commissioners and executives, argued that films should be 'commercial' (that is, profitable on some level) and paid tribute to Cool Hand Luke screenwriter Frank Pierson.

Abi Morgan | BAFTA Screenwriters’ Lecture Series

Commissioned by the Lithuanian National Philharmonic for the concert series “Viva Musica Via Baltica” (Vilnius - European Capital of Culture) and composed for Sinfonietta Rīga

The structure of the two-layered score of “Elongation of Nights” reminds of the elongation of night while the day is getting shorter: one layer is setting down and getting quieter which makes way for the second layer that becomes louder and pulsates with elongating sounds. Every player has its own part (21 in total) similar to the echoes of a canon, thus such a monochromatic orchestra sounds like a utopian 84 string instrument. The harmony of the piece is based entirely on fifths, derived from the natural tuning of strings. Morton Feldman would have probably called such piece as “Fifths in my Life”.

Dedicated to autumning Vilnius.

Duration
8'30''

Recording
Released by the Lithuanian Music Information and Publishing Centre in 2010 in "Zoom in 8: new music from Lithuania".

"In the music of Justė Janulytė the sound unfolds as an autonomous event, with incredible lightness, as a confluence of energies, which transform it into increasingly dilated harmonies. No beat, no apparent rhythm, just the ‘deaf’ pulsation perhaps, a downtempo, as some kinds of the electronic music are qualified; the swelling of intensities, the saturation of space, and then eventual return to the state of calm, which is already different, marked and disturbed. The importance of material that found reflection in the titles of her works: Textile (for orchestra, 2006), Aquarelle (for choir, 2007), Silence of the Falling Snow (for two pianos, 2006), Endings (for 4 saxophones, 2005)... But the most important is metamorphosis, a very personal one and therefore instantly recognisable. This is not the telluric forces in Xenakis, or the atomic process in Ligeti, but rather an irradiant form. Elongation of Nights, the second score for string orchestra after the White Music, with which the composer made her public debut in 2004, gives a good example of such radiation. Some kind of timeless, floating metamorphosis. A strikingly innovative dramaturgy of sound..." Antoine Gindt | MUSICA festival brochure, 2011
