abar lets its music do the talking. What it says is entirely up to the listener. This math-rock trio keeps things instrumental, and complex.

The Denton group composes in a way that is reminiscent of the work of Philip Glass. Using guitar, bass and drums, this instrumental act stacks pattern on pattern — blocks of measured drumming over a steady, percolating guitar. The bass taps along, sometimes folding back over the drums, sometimes skipping ahead of the

guitar.

If there’s any unpolished messiness that partially defines Denton music, Babar hides it in a rhythmic precision that is happy or plodding, depending on which song you’re in.

Babar has additional Denton cred because its three members play for Caleb Ian Campbell, perhaps the lone Denton musician who can spin songs that conjure up pop out of math-rock riffs.

Trivia: The band’s name isn’t borrowed from the sweet, crowned elephant of the popular children’s book series. It’s a reference to a cast of Mesopotamian gods

Bass foot forward Local doc on music competition to screen at Thin Line

A

t least one music documentary in the lineup for the Thin Line Film Fest this year trains its lens on local music — and not the local music many Denton residents might expect.

Forget the Fry Street fugitives who have brought their indie rock, math rock, punk rock and Americana to downtown Denton, where the music scene is in revival.

Bass: Beyond Limitation is about the top double bass violinists in the world.

In 2010, the most obsessive double bassists converged on Denton for the inaugural International Double Bass Solo Competition, launched

by Jeff Bradetich, who leads the bass program at the University of North Texas — oft in the shadow of a clarinet department and a jazz studies

THIN LINE FILM FEST What: Documentary film festival screening more than 75 films When: Feb. 10-20 Where: All films screen first at the Campus Theatre, 214 E.

Single-screening tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for seniors, students and active military with ID. Details: For a complete schedule and admission price listing, visit www.thinlinefilmfest.com.

program that hog most of the attention in the College of Music.

Bradetich has been on something of a crusade to unveil the double bass’s chops as a solo instrument. It’s taken some convincing; at least one critic labeled Bradetich “a pachyderm in a tutu” during a performance.

Local filmmaker Andy LaViolette interviewed the musicians, the judges and filmed

the contest as the players were whittled down to the final four. LaViolette didn’t have to manufacture suspense. The bassists were competing for cash, debut concerts in important venues and a recording that promised to launch the musician’s professional career into more rarefied air.

The 34-minute film will screen at 8 p.m. Feb. 17 at the Campus Theatre.

West will concentrate on two of Fisher’s novels, City of Refuge and High Yaller, in which the author studies the tensions about skin color within the black community. “High yaller,” or “high yellow,” remains a double-edged slur that demeans both the biracial children of interracial couplings and dark-skinned black Americans who are dismissed for being too dark — a topic filmmaker Spike Lee explored in his 1991 movie Jungle Fever.

Fisher’s book wasn’t just an exploration of Harlem life, but a work detailing how music and language were integral to the art and literature of the Harlem Renaissance.

Denton Time Austin acoustic folk band MilkDrive plays Dan’s Silverleaf today. The group is a little bit bluegrass, a little bit jazz and a little bit Irish traditional.

MilkDrive

Matt Mefford migrated to the group.

The musicians are still touring in support of Road From Home, the album MilkDrive released last April. Bill VornDick — who’s worked with Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Bob Dylan and Ralph Stanley — brought the men to Nashville to record.

Sounds like: A bluegrass band set for a spell in Manhattan. Fans of Denton’s Seryn should prick up their ears.

Y

ou know how Denton’s Boxcar Bandits refer to their music as “skunkgrass”?

Well, the Austin quartet MilkDrive appears to have shrugged when pegging a buyer for its sound. The foursome simply slapped on the catch-all label “alt-folk-progressive acoustic string band” and went about defying each of those genres — except for maybe folk.

We prefer to think of MilkDrive’s music as “jazz-

abirdgrass.”

Even when the group covers the hearth-and-home holiday tune “The Christmas Song,” hints of jazz harmony and syncopation sneak into the tune. It gives a brief shade of sophistication to the folksy, bluegrass frame through which the band views the music. And yet this group can fix a jig that would

make the Chieftains grin.

The band isn’t hurting for heft. Award-winning fiddler and mandolin player Dennis Ludiker was living in Austin when guitarist and former camp-mate Noah Jeffries bunked with him as a roommate. Fiddler Brian Beken was also sharing their digs.

Jeffries enlisted Ludiker to record a demo, and Beken joined when Jeffries and Ludiker decided they wanted a live act. Eventually, South Austin Jug Band upright bassist

By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor

T

he latest exhibit at the Center for the Visual Arts was handpicked with the everyday viewer in mind.

Now a quarter-century old, “Materials: Hard & Soft” appeals to the shopper, the adventurer, the playmate in everyone.

Juror Monica Moses, editor in chief of American Craft magazine, just thinks about art that way. And so that idea of art being a down-to-earth presence — a touchable, even tasty-looking tidbit within the reach of grubby fingers — filtered into the show.

“I was sort of thinking that, if we were going to subtitle the show, it would be ‘We Are Not Alone,’” Moses said, touring the center’s Meadows Gallery after all the pieces were situated on walls and pedestals, waiting only for precise lighting and title cards. Moses selected the show from thousands of See MATERIALS on 10

“When you look around at this show, you see all sorts of forms you find in nature. So it’s as if you aren’t alone — you’re surrounded by these living forms.

Well, they seem to be alive to me.”

slides. She didn’t have artist names, or any identifying information, for that matter. She just had images of the work and her intuition. Hence a show that celebrates texture, tickles your funny bone and sets your brain on “Go!” “I’m only dealing with images,” Moses said. “I can guess at craftsmanship. I can look at design and content. But my background is editorial. I’m biased toward things that have a story, or an implied story. And as I’ve gotten older, I’m drawn to things that have a vulnerability to them.”

She selected the same kind of art that can be found in the magazine, the official publication of the American Craft Council.

“We try to make the magazine a wish book for a way of living,” Moses said. “We want people to think about the objects you get, what you eat and even the media you consume.”

Sound far-fetched? Not so much. Visit a museum of natural history or fine art and you’re bound to see vessels rescued from archaeological dig sites, jewelry gingerly dusted with an artifact brush. The Egyptian Collections at the Dallas Museum of Art include wooden containers, stone vessels and jewelry. For people in Moses’ line of work, thoughtful consumption is a mark of mindful living. And American craft is but one part of the record on 21st-century values.

“When you look around at this show, you see all sorts of forms you find in nature. So it’s as if you aren’t alone — you’re surrounded by these living forms,” Moses said. “Well, they seem to be alive to me.”

Moses culled 75 pieces from more than 500 submissions by more than 200 artists.

“Materials: Hard & Soft” is the Greater Denton Arts Council’s flagship exhibition. The show is known throughout the country, and was listed among the top 40 arts events to see by the Texas Commission on the Arts.

Moses said more artists are experimenting with plastic.

“And why not?” she said. “It’s very modern. And I think there’s a lot more painting applied to ceramics.”

Materials

Denton Record-Chronicle/David Minton

Pieces yawn from their place on a wall in the Center for the Visual Arts’ Meadows Gallery on Tuesday. “Materials: Hard & Soft” opens Friday and runs through March 30.

CRAFT: A LESSON American craft shouldn’t be confused with arts and crafts.

Craft is a serious artistic business. Craft artists take the media of humankind’s frontier — cloth, thread, clay, metal wood and glass — then turn it into a decorative piece. The art that succeeds in this show — an annual national contemporary craft competition — is made with sure hands and a playful mind. Pieces that look like cloth turn out to be ceramic, and plastics trick the eye into believing its glass.

One artist used plastic lawn trimming material — bright red — to weave five forms now hanging side by side in the

gallery. They suggest birdhouses made out of hollowed gourds, or Russian nesting dolls, with a round opening reminiscent of a face.

“I thought they looked like a family,” Moses said. “I thought they were really sweet.”

Moses said she’s also come to like what looks like the ceramic bust of an evil elf, or a troll — a humanoid head and hands has big, batwing-like ears and stern amber eyes. He could be the illustration of Shakespeare’s Puck, the muckraking pixie from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

“This is kind of an ugly, scary figure,” she said. “We’ve all seen a creature like this in a book or something. Not only are there a lot of interesting textures here,

but the more time I spend with him, the more sympathy I have for him. I wonder what his story is.”

Moses found another reference to nature in the work of G.E. Chambers. One of them, Opinionaut Desk Lamp, mixes metal and glass. The form has bird legs — formidable ones, like you’d find on a meat-eating bird — a green glass bulge that protrudes like a bullfrog’s throat mid-croak, and three budding stems waving above a diving bell body.

The flip of a switch illuminates a small but strong bulb.

Voila! A greenish light to read by. A related lamp has more of a larval glass body.

“They’re like pets, almost,”

Moses said. “They have these personalities, these lives going on while you’re not looking.”

Moses selected the quilts of Valerie Maser-Flanagan for the details and quilting techniques that are nearly invisible.

“This artist has taken different pieces and sewn them together to make the finished quilt. But where are the seams?

You just about can’t find them,” Moses said.

It’s not that Maser-Flanagan has made an outlandish work of art. In fact, in terms of color and pattern, the artist’s approach is subtle — tame, even. It’s only when you regard the care needed to make what looks like a single piece of quilted fabric that the piece is born again as inspirational.

Moses was almost speechless when she lobbied for a simple turned-wood bowl.

“It’s just exquisite,” she said.

“And I have no idea where this bowl attaches to the object inside of it.”

Moses is right. A creamy, egg-shaped form seems to levitate inside the lighted bowl.

How it’s suspended, though, is anyone’s guess. There’s another trick to the piece, too. It doesn’t look like turned wood; it looks like alabaster. And it appears to sit on a creased piece of wrapping paper. It isn’t; it’s a thin piece of wood.

Moses selected an exhibit that satisfies the casual viewer who enjoys form for the sake of form. Paper bowls are fixed to a wall, looking like lumpy pottery and begging the viewer to look into the dark interior. It also satisfies the viewer who needs their art to look like it’s about something, which is accomplished in the jewelry and three tiny dresses that recall infant christening gowns.

“There is always this tension between how readable the work is and how much the artist lets people in,” Moses said. “Are they giving you enough information to know what’s going on in the piece? Or are they keeping the whole thing less straightforward? I guess you could say that the show is both abstract and more representational.

“I don’t suppose that tension will be resolved any time soon.”

Rated PG, 107 minutes.

Opens Friday.

Ken Kwapis directed Big Miracle, and he touches all of the expected emotional spots, with three stranded whales fighting for survival while humans bicker among themselves to either save the whales or to make themselves look good trying.

The script, “inspired by true events,” from Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, gives Big Miracle something for everyone: Everyone loves whales, everyone loves beautiful scenery, everyone loves a rescue, and, depending on individual persuasions, everyone can find something to love or hate in a smarmy Greenpeace activist (Drew Barrymore) or in a greedy, environment-ravaging oilman (Ted Danson).

Standing between these two forces is Adam Carlson (John Krasinski), a local TV newsman in and around Barrow, Alaska, where it sometimes hits 60 below zero. His initial 1988 report on three whales trapped in ice, unable to journey to sea, spurs larger organizations into action, including the major television networks.

The plight of the whales also alerts Rachel Kramer (Barrymore), thrusting her and her organization into whale-saving mode. From there, Big Miracle is shamelessly predictable, but some interest can be found in how some of the obstacles are overcome. Kwapis dutifully handles the various crises, with

John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore star in the mawkish whale tale Big Miracle. Universal Pictures a few good quips for and from the various forces.

But even the surplus of seemingly perilous situations cannot hide the film’s blatant plea for emotional involvement. In such transparent films, when someone becomes upset, the rift is never serious and it never lasts. The underwater ocean imagery of the whales, or their CGI or animatronic doubles, is impressive enough and should be noted.

Before departing, however,

Kwapis takes his shots at Greenpeace’s interference, the environmental policies of President Reagan and the Soviet Union, and even network anchor conceit.

One of the film’s most enjoyable surprises comes in the ever-evolving supporting cast.

More than 20 or so fine actors briefly pop up in various parts, including Kathy Baker as the oilman’s wife, Rob Riggle and James LeGros as two homey Minnesotans who come to

save the day, a barely recognizable Shea Whigham as a helicopter pilot, Dermot Mulroney as an Army helicopter pilot, Vinessa Shaw as Ronald Reagan’s press liaison, and many more.

But the biggest surprise comes near the end in a local news broadcast when Kwapis plucks some extant stock footage to show a new sports reporter primed for her report.

The new reporter? A 20-something Sarah Palin.
