Роджер Уотерс / Roger Waters

Часть фотографий, которые проецировались на экране во время концертной премьеры Оперы Роджера Уотерса Са Ира в Риме, были выставлены на аукцион. Каждая из фотографий напечатана в высоком качестве и подписана лично Роджером.

Автор этих фотографий - Mark Holthusen, которого Роджер и Sony BMG Music наняли за мес. до премьеры, чтобы заменить трад. дизайн Са Иры на проецируемые фото иллюстрации.

На экране проецировалось более 120 иллюстраций, многие из которых были выполнены лично Марком. Начиная с концепции, заканчивая окончательным производством, весь процесс работы занял всего 40 дней! Его удивительный и уникальный стиль стла визуальным воплощением истории на концерте.

В связи с большим интересом как к опере, так и к работе Марка, он решил, что веб-аукцион eBay станет самой подходящей реализацией иллюстраций для широкой публики.

Всего есть шесть напечатанных иллюстраций, подписанных Роджером с кодом архива на бумаге для акварели. Сам Роджер также владеет набором этих шести иллюстраций.

Вот ссылки на каждую из этих иллюстраций, выставленных на eBay'е:

А вот как БУДЕТ выглядеть Са Ира в Познани - между прочим, отрывок сильно напоминает скарфовскую сцену Суда в фильме Стена. ============================= Увертюра - Приближение шторма. В середине увертюры характор музыки изменяется (быстрые литавры оповещают об этом), в полном свете появляется: классическая цирковая арена, вписанная в пространстве четырехугольника. Вокруг нее по-разному размещены галереи, которые вносят разнообразие на место действия. Также имеется традиционный цирковой выход, заслоненный картинкой - здесь входят и выходят артисты. Благодаря изменению освещения и игре актеров, действие может перемещаться в разные места: к Парламенту, к Туилерискому Дворцу, на улицы и т.п.. Над цирковой сценой на трапеции выступает акробат “Напоминающий птицу”. Акробат выступает на трапеции фактически над зрителями, подвешенной на ремне. Потом на трапеции, подвешенной к другому ремню, появляется еще один акробат на трапеции. Устаивается номер перелетания с трапеции на трапецию, который заканчивается ростом числа акробатов на двух трапециях. В тоже самое время в партерской части сцены устраивается показ выступления с першами (вертикальные удерживаемые мачты на плечах, размещенных акробатами в двух уровнях, и на них устраивается показ акробатики других артистов. ) Показы также устраиваются в других местах сцены и продолжаются до конца исполнения увертюры. Хор изображает высшие и низшие общественные классы, - это цирковая публика, он неудержимо реагирует на последующие события. Выходит КОРОЛЬ и уходит в даль сцены под вой толпы в свою королевскую ложу. Когда музыка изменяется на вальс (музыка Королевы), входит Королева и облагороженной, важной походкой марширует вокруг арены, по пути унижая ТРЕТЬЕГО КЛОУНА, который пытается её пригласить потанцевать. В итоге она доходит до короля. Тогда увертюра достигает кульминационного момента, толпа вокруг арены испускает крики "Ох" и "Ах" - таким способом реагируя на пируэты акробатов. Конец Увертюры. ====== полность план постановки опубликую на http://bobclose.narod.ru

Слышится пение птицы. Под персиковым деревом висит качель. За огородной изгородью
на ветви дуба сидит мальчик (Честная Птаха). Он повторяет соло на флейте

Вот статья про группу Country Teasers, в которой говорится про их вокалиста и автора текстов Бена Уоллерса, любящего писать сатирические тексты.
Который использовал текст песни Роджера из In The Flesh (сатирический сам по себе) в своей фривольной Spider In The Flesh!

Вот отрывок это статьи:

' Opener "Spiderman in the Flesh," meanwhile, segues from a twangy, old-timey country number to a cover of Pink Floyd's "In the Flesh" (from The Wall), with Wallers drawling the words of Roger Waters' fascism-enthralled antihero: "Are there any queers in the theatre tonight?/Get 'em up against the wall . . . And that one looks Jewish, and that one's a coon/Who let all this riff-raff into the room?/There's one smoking a joint, and another with spots/If I had my way, I'd have all of ya shot!" It's apparently the singer's way of saying, hey, you don't call foul on Floyd for being racist, so why not hold me to the same standard?

Confirms Wallers, "You think Roger hates coons and queers? That's a character in a song, you fucking lesbian jew paki chink! (Oops: Shouldn't have used 'lesbian,' it's not a pejorative . . . is that a clue I shouldn't have slipped out? Sharpie!)." And, he adds, "No one who talks to me maintains an opinion that I'm rac-o-sex-ist; just a bit confused maybe." '

Guy Pratt заявил, что Дэвид со своей группой, и Роджер со своей группой,
в настоящий момент репетируют в одних и тех же студиях в Западном Лондоне. Давид находится в Студии 1 , а Роджер - в Студии 2.
Они совместно используют одного и того же клавишника Guy Pratt.
Гай сказал, что надо сказать "Welcome Pink Floyd" в фойе... и он почти прав!

Клавишника Guy Pratt?

Those with plenty of spare cash in their bank accounts could end up with some very nice, rare Pink Floyd items next week, whilst helping out three very worthwhile charities in the process.

The highly respected auction house Christie's are running a "Pop Memorabilia" sale at their South Kensington branch, and as part of the sale, are a number of items from (the band's late manager) Steve O'Rourke's estate. They are being sold to benefit Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and Winston's Wish, a charity supporting bereaved children and young people.

Naturally, there are some wonderful, unusual items - many of which are one-off's presented to Steve himself. These range from 1966/67 autographed items, early posters (including a number of 1967 examples, such as the UFO poster to the right, and a 1969 "Massed Gadgets of Auximenies" poster from the Royal Festival Hall), through tour t-shirts and collectables spanning their career, to a number of presentation discs and awards.

The most expensive item (going by the estimated selling price of Ј3000-5000) is a pair of metallic "Division Bell" heads. The majority of the lots are estimated to sell for between Ј200-500.

The sale occurs on Thursday, May 25th. The complete list of 32 Pink Floyd lots (sixteen of which are from Steve's estate) can be seen through this link at www.Christies.com ( http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/search/LFA.asp?eid=4499709 ) which has pictures and descriptions of each lot on offer. It might prove too tempting for some of you though - it certainly had us mulling over certain lots!

Our thanks to Adam Stanley for letting us know about this auction.

The other charity looking to be in line for a much deserved cash injection is the UK's NSPCC - the National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children. There is a Live 8 programme for sale on eBay in aid of the NSPCC, which is signed by many of the artists who performed at the show. It was donated by Annette Mason - Nick's wife! You can view the item - and place your bid - through this link to eBay ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Signed-Live-8-Music-Concert-Catalogue--Catalog_W0QQitemZ627802571... ). Our thanks to Adrian Saunders for letting us know.

"Почему Роджер Уотерс выбрал Neve Shalom - Wahat al-Salam - интервью с концертным промоутером Шуки Вайс"

=====================

Why Roger Waters picked NSWAS - an interview with concert promoter Shuki Weiss

by Howard Shippin 18 May 2006

On June 22, Roger Waters is set to perform his "Dark Side of the Moon" concert in the fields below NSWAS. It will be Waters’ first time in Israel and this summer’s big musical event. Tens of thousands of people are expected, and preparations are well underway, under the watchful eye of Shuki Weiss. Weiss is Israel’s premier producer and concert promoter for top artists. For more than twenty years he has been bringing the cream of the international music scene to Israel. It hasn’t been smooth-sailing, since there have been many times when artists have either considered it too dangerous to come, or have simply shied away from the quagmires of mid-east politics. I interviewed Shuki Weiss about his work and the upcoming concert.

What is your personal history with Neve Shalom - Wahat al-Salam.

"I know Neve Shalom from your “Open Day” festival back in 1985. Iris Elhanani, who was working for me, told me about the idea and got me involved - all on a voluntary basis. It was a great event - one of the most moving that I can remember, with lots of important Jewish and Arab artists, such as Makram Khouri, Mohammad Bakri, Amal Murkus, Dori Ben Ze’ev, Shalom Hanoch, Dafna Armoni and others. Then, in your second (even larger) festival, in 1987, I was also involved, though a bit less. Since then, on a number of occasions we have checked options for events, together with my good friend, David Broza" [Israeli pop singer and grandson of early NSWAS resident, the late Pinchas (Wellesley) Aron].

You have a long history of bringing international artists to israel. How is this different?

“Well, there have been lots of artists - I’m not even sure I remember all of them. There are those who just come over for a day, give a concert and go away, and there are others, for whom the visit is much more meaningful. For instance, REM almost cancelled. Their drummer had a stroke while giving a performance in Europe. But I told him, we have places in Israel that can help you open your mind in a positive way - and so they were persuaded to come. It was their drummer’s first appearance after recovering from his stroke. When Eric Clapton came, I said, "Where would you like to appear, Mr. Clapton - we could get you Hayarkon Park, with 50,000 people," and he said, “You know, you have so many beautiful places in Israel... I’d rather do a few interesting sites.” So I thought what we could do and said, “Caesaria can be a fabulous night; "Sultan’s Pool" will be great too - and the most interesting: the Lake of Galilee. But it won’t be a regular performance - I’m gonna build the stage in the water, you’re gonna walk on the water, like someone else did!" After being here, he said, "You know, I’ve appeared all over the world, but I was never moved like I was here..."

Shuki Weiss gave other examples that showed his special pride in making the visit of every artist meaningful, in accordance with their personal interests and worldview. “That way, it isn’t just another concert on a tiring tour, but something they will always remember.” It was in this framework that the idea of bringing Roger Waters to NSWAS emerged:

"My story with Roger Waters goes back 19 years - that was the time we first talked about doing a concert in Israel. One of the dates we considered was Israel’s 40th anniversary. And, for more than ten years we have been talking about Neve Shalom as the location."

Why NSWAS?

"Waters’ has always been interested in humanitarian causes, coexistence, and the like. So I had to find him something suitable. NSWAS is my one true example of coexistence, unfortunately, so I told him about it and he said that’s where he wanted to appear. This was the original plan when we talked about the concert last year. But we thought it would be in 2007. Then, in January this year he decided to do a short tour this year instead, and said he could come to Israel in June. The problem was, the fields around Neve Shalom had already been planted, and it didn’t seem practical to do it there at such short notice, so we decided on Hayarkon Park. Instead of doing the performance in Neve Shalom, he said he would just give his press conference there. Then he looked at the matter more deeply and decided to move the concert to Neve Shalom after all."

Do you see Waters’ stance as political? What do you have to say to all those who have doubts about coming because of their political viewpoint?

"As we have already mentioned, Waters is a man who is interested in humanitarian and ideological causes, so it definitely isn’t a political stance. For instance, when people criticized his decision to appear in Israel, he said that he is willing to perform here because there are fans who like his music, just as he is willing to perform in Britain, though he does not support the policies of the British government.

"When we announced that the concert was moving to Neve Shalom, there were lots of angry voices and people telling us they would cancel their tickets. But apparantly many people were happy about it too, even if they were less vocal. Because on the day of the announcement we sold 2,000 tickets, while till today, only 117 people have cancelled.

"It was a significant step for Waters to move the concert to Neve Shalom, and it is going to leave a very positive message. It’s good that there are artists like him. He knows very well that it would have been much cheaper to do the concert in Tel Aviv and that moving it to Neve Shalom is going to cut deeply into his earnings. Many artists talk a lot about human rights issues - but when it comes to their wallet, they aren’t willing to give a penny. Waters isn’t a talker - he’s a doer - he doesn’t even intend to do interviews while in Israel. The only place he will speak, if at all, is in Neve Shalom."

After Palestinian organizations - even those calling for a cultural boycott of Israel - gave their sanction to the concert here, NSWAS seems to be emerging as the one venue in Israel that both sides can be happy with - do you see a potential to bring other performers here?

"You are telling me something new there, by the way. I don’t know how much longer I will be in this business but I’m sure, with good planning, it would be possible to do performances here - especially smaller ones that don’t require us to plough up fields of chickpeas before their time! One thing I can promise you is that after this month, everyone in the country will know where to find Neve Shalom."

Стало известно ещё одно шоу, на котором к Роджеру присоединится Ник Мэйсон!

Это выступление в Рейкьявик, Исландии, 12-го Июня!

On his night off from the current Albert Hall series, Eric turned up on Saturday (20 May) in the Hampshire countryside to appear alongside some old friends at the Highclere Rocks Picnic Concert.

Appearing as part of the Band du Lac, he performed Knock on Wood, Reconsider Baby, Stormy Monday and Wonderful Tonight. Roger Waters then joined the band for Wish you Were Here and Comfortably Numb with Eric on lead.

Waters then left but the band carried on with Whiter Shade of Pale, Cocaine and Get Up Stand Up. They encored with Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women.
