Arts space Ficus celebrates closure with a fundraiser

H

ow do communities begin? What, exactly, are the conditions that enable the seed of an idea—a shared passion, a shared space, a shared goal —to germinate and flourish?

I use this metaphor intentionally: I want to talk about a garden today.

Specifically, I want to talk about how woodworking in Edmonton connects to a garden in C’yele, near Chase, BC and how all of this is triangulated through a party. But first, we need to talk about Ficus.

Ficus is a collective DIY artist space that was founded about five years ago by two woodworkers. It eventually grew into a shared physical space that could be rented by artists—at one point, about 25 different artists rented space there.

The concept was straightforward: rent is expensive and art needs space to flourish. More artists equals cheaper rent for everyone.

However, the administrative burden of maintaining the space and looking for new artists (turnover was very high) has become too great and Ficus has slowly been shrinking and is planning to finally close at the end of this month.

But bigger is not always better.

Leila, one of three remaining tenants, told me that something sort of magi-

cal happened as the space shrank.

The conversations became more intimate and more political: whereas the space started out as rather white and straight, this began to change as they thought about how to support queer, racialized and Indigenous communities. Ficus began to think about space in our city. Why do so many buildings remain derelict, and why are there tax incentives to leave them so? Who controls the land? These questions led into conversations about colonization, land sovereignty, and Indigenous rights, which eventually led them to Nourish the Nation.

To say that Nourish the Nation is a garden is an understatement.

The garden is an act of political resistance and nourishment by Secwepemc Elder Wolverine. Wolverine was a long time defender of Indigenous sovereignty and was most notably involved with the Ts-Peten/ Gustafsen Lake stand-off (the largest paramilitary assault in Canada’s history) twenty years ago. While in his 70s, he began tending an eight acre garden, mostly by himself, giving away almost all of the food he grew to other elders, single families, and camps of land defenders protesting resource extraction. He did this for more than a decade, unpaid,

with any funds raised going towards vital infrastructure like a small tractor or irrigation upgrades. Although Wolverine passed away in April, his grandson has taken over the garden.

Which brings us to the party. To celebrate the closure of Ficus, they are hosting Ficus’ Final Fruit RollOut, a Halloween dance party and fundraiser for Nourish the Nation.

There will be bingo, DJs, and fruit roll-ups at the door. Heritage seeds from Wolverine’s garden will also be available. Fruit and vegetable costumes are encouraged—although I have been assured that queers can happily show up as themselves as declare that they are fruits.

Sometimes the seeds we plant sustain and nourish resistance. Other times, they grow into new communities and spaces that, while fleeting, create new connections that outlive their origins. Both are worth celebrating by dancing our faces off. V

he chief source of new problems is solutions to old problems. The ammonia that we used in domestic fridges as a coolant in the early 20th century was poisonous if it leaked, so in the 1930s we replaced it with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which you can breathe all day without harm.

Problem solved.

Unfortunately, it turned out that CFCs, when they leaked, eventually rose into the stratosphere where they began destroying ozone. The ozone layer is the only thing protecting us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, so countries responded quickly in the 1980s when scientists discovered a spreading “ozone hole” over the Antarctic.

In only a few years the world’s nations negotiated the Montreal Protocol of 1987, which mandated the elimination of CFCs from all industrial processes by 1996. The deadline was met, and the latest projection is that the ozone layer will recover to 1980 levels between 2050 and 2070.

Problem solved.

Unfortunately, the CFCs were replaced in most fridges and airconditioning units by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). They don’t hurt the ozone, but they are very powerful warming agents—10,000 times more powerful than the same volume of carbon dioxide—when they escape into the atmosphere.

Global warming was not seen as an urgent threat in the 1980s, so the negotiators were not much concerned by that. If the warming turned out to be a major problem, it could be dealt with later. But it did turn out to be a major problem, and later is now.

The rapid industrialization of the warmer parts of the world (India, China, Brazil, etc.) has led to an explosion of demand for air condition-

ing and other cooling technologies.

According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, about 1.6 billion new air-conditioning units will be switched on worldwide by 2050.

HFC leakage from air conditioners alone will raise the global average temperature by half a degree Celsius by mid-century. When all the world’s government are pledged to stop the warming before it reaches plus two degrees Celius, and we are already well past plus one degree Celisus, an extra half a degree is a lot.

So we needed another miracle like the Montreal Protocol—and now we have it. On 15 October, in Kigali in Rwanda, almost 200 countries signed an agreement to curb the use of HFCs being used. US Secretary of State John Kerry called it “the single most important step we could take at this moment to limit the warming of our planet.”

Well, yes it is, but you are probably noticing a pattern in all this. It’s not so much that we keep getting it wrong.

It’s the time it takes to put it right: a century so far, and we’ll still be at it for at least another 30 years before all the HFCs are out of the system.

When you read the fine print of the Kigali Amendment, it turns out that the United States (the secondbiggest HFC polluter), the European Union, and some other rich countries will have to achieve their first 10 percent cut in HFC production by 2019—but the schedule for further cuts is not clearly defined, apart from the fact that they must be down by 85 percent by 2036. (That’s twenty years from now.)

The majority of the world’s countries—including China, the biggest polluter—will only have to freeze their production level in 2024. (At

the moment, their production of HFCs is going up by an average of 16 percent a year, which means it could almost triple by 2024.)

The first 10 percent cut by these countries is only due in 2029, and it will be 10 percent of whatever they are producing five years from now— possibly double the current amount.

They will then make further cuts in 2030-2045, getting production of HFCs down by 85 percent by the latter date (three decades from now).

India, Pakistan and most of the Middle Eastern countries don’t even have to freeze production until 2028, and their target date for getting to 85 percent cuts in production is 2047.

At a rough guess, global HFC production will peak some time in the late 2020s, and will be back down to the current level by the mid-2030s.

Don’t get angry. Countries don’t know how to negotiate any other way: nobody gives anything away if they don’t absolutely have to. But if you want to despair, go right ahead.

The pace of the political process does not remotely match the speed with which the threat is growing.

We have to do much better than this if we are to avoid crashing through the plus-two-degree limit and tumbling into runaway warming. We are not ready to make those deals yet, but when we finally are we will have one small consolation. This deal has been far easier to make because it is an amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, not a whole new treaty.

The more treaties we have on climate matters now, however imperfect they may be, the faster we will be able to move when we finally do take fright. V Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Wife-and-husband team Agnes and Csaba Nemeth of Breadland Organic Whole Grain Bakery. // Bryan Saunders

Excruciatingly slow

T

he tastiest and healthiest bread is the kind that is made excruciatingly slowly. At least, this is the philosophy of wife-and-husband team Agnes and Csaba Nemeth.

For almost 10 years, the Nemeths have used an unhurried, Old World tradition to make bread in their tiny European bakery. Tucked snugly between a Second Cup and a Bell store in Oliver Square, Breadland Organic Whole Grain Bakery is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. But as Agnes Nemeth explains, new customers find them every single day— many of them referred by doctors and nutritionists.

“When we first moved to Canada from Hungary, we were seeing more and more people looking for healthy products. Products that are easy to digest, and don’t cause allergic reactions,” she recalls.

In many modern bakeries, production is rushed along using tons of yeast, dough conditioners, stabilizers, preservatives, and refined ingredients. The Nemeths use slow, natural, sourdough fermentation, and organic, whole grains—including ancient grains like kamut and spelt, and even sprouted grains.

With the exception of one special challah egg-bread, all of their breads are vegan. They supply bread to grocery stores such as Blush Lane, Planet Organic, and Earth’s General Store.

And while the facility is not technically gluten-free, they have lots of wheat-free products and many happy, celiac customers.

At Breadland, a loaf of traditional European bread takes at least 24 hours With many people self-diagnosing as “gluten-sensitive” and going gluten-free—Agnes Nemeth points to increased amounts of yeast in modern diets as another potential problem.

“That’s why we make the yeast-free products, because we have many customers who have problems with yeast,” her husband Csaba Nemeth chimes in. “Also, because of the long fermentation time, the protein in the grain is broken down more, and it becomes easier to digest.”

Agnes Nemeth adds that they don’t use any preservatives, stabilizers, or dough conditioners in their breads.

The disadvantage of natural fermentation is that the bread takes much longer to prepare, and—without any yeast or stabilizers or dough conditioners—the dough becomes unpredictable, requiring a careful eye and an experienced hand.

“None of the days are the same,” Csaba Nemeth acknowledges. “It depends on the bakery temperature, how warm is the flour, how warm is the water, the humidity in the air...

I’ve been baking for 35 years, but I am still learning something every day.

“Some of the regular bread [in grocery stores] is made in a very short time period: maybe three hours. In our bakery, the bread is made over at least 24 hours. And some of the bread—like the sprouted bread—is made over three or four days. After the sprouting process, the grain becomes soft and sweet tasting and very easy to digest. There is also

a lot of vitamin and nutrition in sprouted grain.”

Baking in this less efficient way isn’t easy, Agnes Nemeth admits. In the early days, their slow-fermented bread made without stabilizers or conditioners sometimes turned out too big or too small.

“We made those bad batches into breadcrumbs and sold the breadcrumbs,” she explains with a laugh.

“Now, these days, there are no more breadcrumbs.”

But in those early years, did they ever think of just giving up and making things the fast and easy way?

They could have, says Agnes Nemeth, but the traditional way is what they believe in.

“And there’s less competition, because it is harder, and not as many people want to do this,” she adds,

and then advises, “Read the label of your bread. The traditional European style way of making bread doesn’t need more that three or four ingredients. If the ingredients label on the bag is like a book, and half of the words are difficult to pronounce, then put that bread back, that’s the wrong bread.”

Sushi offerings are improving, as evidenced by Washoku Bistro

W

ashoku Bistro recently joined the procession of Japanese restaurants looking to carve their niche, from the uptick of izakayas and ramen joints to the steady trickle of sushi places that continually crop up. Washoku is of the latter persuasion, though in the subset of sushi vendors which pad out their offerings with Korean dishes (Sabu in Bonnie Doon and Watari on 124 Street are other examples). It also proclaims itself a sake bar, but I didn’t have a chance to explore this aspect of its expertise, that may or may not set them apart from other Japanese restaurants tilling the same patch food-wise.

Washoku shares the orderly austerity of interior decor many a sushi dining room espouses, foregoing even the fabric scrims and self-consciously Japanese art objects that pass for atmosphere in some instances, favouring lustrous wood paneling and leatherette booths, with a few splashes of red. Generic satellite radio pop burbles innocuously through all that empty space.

Consigned to a solo dining excursion by fate, I figured a bento box would help me sample a range of Washoku’s distinctive take (or lack thereof) on sushi and accompaniments, but their menu contains no bento provision, at least not at supper time—there are “individual plates,” but they didn’t touch on

all the facets of the menu I wanted to sample. I finally settled on a spicy salmon roll ($7.50), tuna sushi ($4.20 for two pieces) and vegetable dol sot bibimbap as approximately the right amount of food for one guy, chased by the requisite fizzy Japanese lager ($6).

Both the maki and the sushi came with ample wasabi and ginger, and the roll was neatly crisscrossed with creamy mayo that had been imbued with impressive spiciness to amplify the chilies rolled up with the minced salmon, cucumber and tempura bits in a seaweed envelope. Thank goodness for fizzy lager to ease the mounting burn. The tuna nigiri was generously portioned and smooth like butter, making me wish I’d ordered some sashimi. But the main course was yet to come.

Five bites into the eight-piece portion of maki, my entree arrived on a wooden tray and my friendly server offered to mix it up for me. Bibimbap consists of rice with shredded carrots, cukes, spinach, sprouts and mushrooms, topped with a sunnyside-up egg, that is all mixed together with a spicy-sweet-pungent condiment called gochujang, that is made from chili peppers and fermented soybeans. The dol sot version of bibimbap comes in a hot stone bowl that toasts some of the rice, adding a crispy dimension to the stir-

The server inquired after my spice tolerance, spooned some gochujang and stirred it all up. No question, the results were delicious, delivering plenty of tasty, just-tender veggies in every bite, but I could have used my own side of gochujang to tweak the spiciness as I went. My entrée boded well for the other hot entrees like bulgogi, beef ribs, pork belly and the gochujang-soaked fried chicken that’s becoming a standard item on Korean menus.

The final tally on the night was just under $35, which slaked me pretty exactly. While everything I ordered stood up well to my expectations, it didn’t really outstrip them. Washoku is a quality option, if not a destination dining experience, with pleasant service and a price-point consistent with its niche. It speaks volumes about our good fortune that their charms are the norm rather than exceptional in Edmonton’s sushi-sphere.

Princess Death

Edmonton Opera takes a stylized approach to Puccini's Turandot

T

urandot may not be Giacomo Puccini’s most well-known opera, but it is famed as the Italian composer’s final masterpiece that remained unfinished at the time of his death in 1924.

Grandiose in song and scale, the piece is still performed on stages around the world, including the acclaimed Metropolitan Opera in New York. But director Robert Herriot says he's taking a fresh approach to the production at the Edmonton Opera.

Set in the ancient Forbidden City, Beijing, it's the story of an imperious Chinese princess who beheads her suitors if they can’t provide the answer to three riddles. The plot unfolds as a brave and love-sick prince, Calaf, tries to win her affections.

Fictional or not, Turandot was never produced in China until 1998, as authorities thought it portrayed the country in a cruel and negative light.

Franco Zeffirelli’s recent production at the Met in September 2015 was criticized by New York Times reviewer David Allen as being “forthright in its Orientalism.” Written by an Italian composer who has never travelled to Asia but sets two of his operas in China (Turandot) and Japan (Madame Butterfly), Allen questions whether it’s right to show Turandot today “so unquestioningly, and so unashamedly.”

Herriot, however, sees little controversy as the show is a fantasy based on fictitious characters. Unlike Turandot at the Met, whose set strove for traditional realism, the Edmonton Opera’s landscape is a medley of Chi-

nese symbolism rather than a realistic mimicry of Asian milieus. This adds elements of reverie to the stories of characters that act more as symbols than as historical figures.

“Turandot certainly isn’t real—she’s representative of death, in fact. Calaf is representative of life; he becomes very symbolic in that he’s destined to find her and be with her. Life and death have been in love with each other from the beginning of time.

Life gives death many gifts and death keeps them forever. I think that’s sort of the story here,” says Herriot.

Herriot feels that Puccini’s piece at the time of inception was less about Chinese culture and more about pushing boundaries in the world of operatic composition.

“It’s about finding a different scale, finding a different way of composing, and finding different colours in music,” he says. “This was hugely different from many things that came before.”

Since Turandot is a first for many— Othalie Graham is making her Canadian debut as Turandot—it was decided that the cast and crew would explore it from scratch to create an opera with real and recognizable human connection.

“I find my approach is a little different in that I’ve really tried to find depth and layering of character and relationships so that they’re not stereotypical,” says Herriot.

The chorus of almost forty people is, in itself, a character of many facets.

Sat, Oct 22 (8pm) Jubilee Auditorium, $20 to $175

The company moves as one and rises to the challenge of depicting bloodthirsty brutality one moment and sympathetic understanding the next.

All things considered, Turandot is rich in human emotions and expresses them with grandeur. Edmonton Opera’s more stylized approach distances audiences from its display of the 'exotic' and instead resonates due to its lessons that are still relevant to today’s problems. Herriot describes opera as just another art form that serves a purpose—to allow pent-up passion to cry out. It is no longer an avant-garde affair, which makes it accessible to everyone. Similar to theatre, opera has a timeless ability to provide emotional catharsis, no matter who is in the audience.

“Hearing a human voice express these emotions which are larger than life—it serves as an extension to our soul. There’s no vocabulary in the English language or in any language to capture how one feels when they’re falling in love. And I think the music definitely takes us there—it helps us to feel that even greater,” Herriot says. “It’s universal, and it will never go away.”

'Floating in space'

Steve Driscoll's "And a Dark Wind Blows" wraps the Peter Robertson Gallery in shadows

// Photo supplied

A

dark lake has replaced the floor of the Peter Robertson Gallery.

Abstract celestial clouds, golden milky ways and the luminous glow of the aurora borealis dance in the reflective water.

Steve Driscoll has always painted nature—forests, landscapes and gardens—but this time he bids us to gaze upwards. And he’s gone to great lengths to complete the picture with his latest exhibit, "And a Dark Wind Blows."

Driscoll and his assistant flew in from Toronto and, in just a few days, with hundreds of kilograms of stone and thousands of litres of water, transformed the entire gallery into an outdoor adventure. Seriously, dockfriendly footwear is required.

The wooden boardwalk brings guests in over the water with each step sending gentle ripples across the obsidian surface. It winds past heavenly scenes toward his centrepiece, “These Are Truly the Last Days”, spanning the entirety of the gallery’s back wall, painted a deep shade of midnight. Those willing to maneuver over the great stepping stones get a closer look from a solitary raft.

“One of the main memories I had was looking up into the stars,” Driscoll says of his inspiration for the installation. “You look up and see this vast array of stars, and then you look down into the water and it’s doubled and you feel like you’re sort of floating in space.”

The 35-year-old artist has mastered his unique medium, mixing transparent urethane and pigment that literally captures light and gives his colours a magical vibrancy.

“It’s sort of like a glaze, like a ceramic glaze. You know, you see a really thick transparent colour on a piece of ceramic and it has that sort of depth and luminosity,” says the artist. He first started experimenting with the unusual medium as a student at the Ontario College of Art and Design in the late '90s, eventually learning how to thicken the material using heat.

“Unfortunately, I did burn the studio down through that process, but I did figure out how to do it.”

His exhibit this spring at Toronto’s Angell Gallery featured his first public lake reflecting a series of day-glo hued shorelines by day. However, the fixed boardwalk didn’t allow water movement, and the white walls, usually an ideal background to highlight art, didn’t do the urethaned surfaces of his enormous pieces justice. So, Driscoll took a darker turn with this series.

“Especially on dark paintings, the reflections of white walls go into the reflections of the piece and you actually don’t see the light go in and come back, you just see the surface light,” Driscoll explains, adding that owners Camille and Peter Robertson supported darkening the gallery, even removing several dozen lights, to achieve the ideal environment for the work.

While somewhat of an evolution of the Angell installment, this series stands on its own and definitely has heavier roots. Music is always playing in his studio and he acknowledges its influence on his work. Prior to this series, Driscoll painted while listening to Billy Bragg and Wilco’s Mermaid Avenue.

“The paintings were happier, they were sort of ironic and playful and cheerful. And then I ended up listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor and it’s not cheerful, not playful, but it fits the visuals of the show,” he says, adding that most of the titles, of the work and even the exhibit itself, are cherry-picked lyrics from the sombre Montreal collective’s music.

With 25 solo shows to his name already, Driscoll is a prolific artist and was already at work on a new project while letting the water rise at the Edmonton gallery. In a fun twist, Driscoll’s collaborating with photographer Finn O’Hara for a show at the McMichael Museum, in conjunction with the CONTACT photography festival. His huge works are being taken outdoors, some in urban settings, others in nature, and photographed for the collection "Giving Context."

“One of the shoots here in Edmonton was actually on top of a parking garage on Rice Howard Way looking at Scotia Plaza. It was a 15-foot triptych, three-panel piece that we held, me and actually Peter Robertson from the gallery,” Driscoll says. “Let me tell you, when the wind picks up, its heavy.”

12 FILM

Even Jackson, himself an Englishman—albeit one with decades of experience producing Hollywood schmaltz—seems to be taking the film’s lessons in subtlety, patience and old-fashioned dignity to heart: there are several key scenes in court where, against convention, Howard Shore’s brooding score is eschewed in favour of near-silence. You can almost hear a pin drop when, for example, Irving shrugs off video evidence of his own history of baldly racist neo-Nazibating speeches, which renders Denial as something surprisingly more suspenseful than your garden-variety slab of legal triumphalism.

means that, compared to how we normally think of the genre, Denial is the very antithesis of a courtroom drama. Aside from its historical value, this is in fact the most interesting thing about the movie.

Adapted by David Hare (who also adapted The Hours and The Reader) from Lipstadt’s 2005 memoir, History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, and given sturdy direction from elder journeyman Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard, Volcano), Denial is precisely the sort of stately prestige production that draws respectable, award-winning actors. Rachel Weisz plays the earnest and outspoken Lipstadt, while an astonishingly slimmed down Timothy Spall plays the showboaty Irving. Both are excellent actors and responsible for bringing a modicum of energy to the largely somber proceedings. Yet it is Andrew Scott and Tom Wilkinson who provide Denial with its most finely graded and nu-

enial dramatizes the long-running libel case brought by British Hitler scholar David Irving against American Holocaust scholar Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin, after Lipstadt labeled Irving a liar in her 1993 book Denying the Holocaust. The curious thing about the film is that while its taut, marqueefriendly title is obviously meant to refer to Irving’s heinous pseudohistorical claims, the term equally encapsulates the central conflict that arises within Lipstadt-Penguin’s legal team: Denial is about what happens when a feisty Yankee goes to court in Britain, where her righteous impulses need to be repeatedly stifled in the name of good manners and sound legal procedure. Unlike an American trial—or, in any case, trials as seen in most American movies—a British trial requires its participants to wear a wig, stand in one place and, above all, exert rigorous composure. Which

anced performances, playing, respectively, Lipstadt-Penguin’s barrister and solicitor, who gradually emerge as the most complex and fascinating characters in the film. They initially seem to be Lipstadt’s enemies, ever urging her to reel in her fire, to refrain from bringing Holocaust survivors to stand, and to antagonize Irving further. They, of course, prove to be Lipstadt’s devout allies.

n the ’80s, that odd-cool couple, the autistic and the math-savant, went on a road-trip as brothers became buddies again in Rain Man; in the ’00s, an autistic math-savant went Holmes with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time; now, in The Accountant, a “high-functioning autistic” and math-savant meets the mafia . . . and the neurodevelopment condition gets its very own caped-crusader movie.

Working in plain view in Plainfield, Illinois, Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a mild-mannered number-cruncher in a strip-mall office by day. By night,

when need be, he’s a stone-cold assassin. He’s uncooked books for cartels and mobs the world over, but now he’s told, by his mysterious handler, to look into the ledgers of a robotics company (irony, no doubt, since Christian comes off like OCD2).

His investigation’s cut short when a high-calibre hitman-network starts targeting company executives, Christian, and a low-level bean-counter, Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick), who’d worked with him on the file.

Meanwhile, Ray King (JK Simmons), top brass at the Treasury Department, assigns agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to uncover the enigmatic figure known only as “The Accountant”.

Christian tells Dana in a brief lunchtime conversation that he likes “incongruity” and, here and there, the incongruity of super-auditor and super-killing machine in one man is intriguing (forensic accountant leaves countless bodies for forensic examiners!). The shots of Christian living and working in cool, antiseptic spaces are more interesting than the action scenes (CPA goes 007!), for

Now playing Directed by Gavin O’Connor  sure. But as more and more coincidence and backstory piles up—Christian’s military dad having him trained in fighting and weaponry; Christian’s mysterious killing of mobsters in NYC—this Wolff-of-Mean-Streets quickly leaves a viewer cold.

Autistic-savant becomes, basically, a sociopathic killer, though the script twist-ties up its plotlines ludicrously so it’s all about family and Christian’s basic desire to emotionally connect with people. All the origin-story stuff, mysterious machinations, and even action-scenes come off as calculated contrivances in the end, gearing us up all along for a grand revelation of the man behind the mask, the basic goodness and repressed sweetness that’s within this super(anti)hero for our neuro-atypical times.

INTERVIEW // AMBIENT

MUSIC

Boring is as boring does

Calgary's Foonyap explores the deep creative vein of shame and alienation

//Photo supplied

M

ulti-genre musician Foonyap is a refined taste.

Her sound is cross-generational, mixing violin with electronic and ambient sensibilities. Her latest release Palimpsest does not shy away from this recipe. The Calgarian started violin lessons at the age of four and entered

the Mount Royal Conservatory of Music at 11. It is here that she battled the constraints of her upbringing within Catholicism and traditional Chinese culture and started on a long path of self exploration.

At the time of this interview Foonyap had a nasty throat infection, so the in-

terview had to be done over email.

Vue Weekly: Do you create your music with the audience in mind, or do you just focus on the creation of the work solely for yourself?

Foonyap: I create music for myself.

To me, music is a way of working out fantasies, urges, desires, and in the case

of Palimpsest, deeply personal feelings of shame, alienation and their reconciliation. I know my work is eccentric and idiosyncratic—I never have an idea in mind of who will connect with it.

VW: Your music is complex, yet accessible. How long did it take you to find your ‘sound'? Or does that notion even exist?

F: I think my music is accessible because it's lyrical—that's my classical violinist coming through. I always played the melodies, the leading parts, even in orchestras and chamber music groups. When I decided I was going to write my own music, it came effortlessly.

The years of messing around in the practice room instead of actually practicing paid off.

For me, most of the effort comes in accepting 'my sound'. There's a part of me that is afraid to admit that this is who I actually am.

VW: Do you work on spontaneous inspiration, or do you have to craft out your work slowly?

F: It depends. The title track was written spontaneously after a triggering incident, when I realized that I was still deeply affected by my childhood feelings of shame. Some songs, especially the poetic ones, like "Gabriel Moody" or "Woolf and Plath," were crafted slowly, word by word, countless revisions.

Sun, Oct 23 (8pm) Sewing Machine Factory, $12 at the door

VW: Does the creative process ever become boring for you? If so, do you just move on to another project or do you force yourself to finish what you started?

F: No. I had an orchestral conductor who once said: 'There is no boring music; just boring people.' That has always stuck with me as a way of constantly approaching something with new eyes, a new mind. Sometimes I need to take a break in order to regain that new mind. I don't believe you always have to finish what you start.

Sometimes an unfinished idea can be recycled into something better.

VW: What are you working on next?

F: I'm looking forward to touring all over Canada and in the UK/EU in the spring. I'm also working on a remix EP, which is going to have my own twist on it of course.

For Palimpsest's photography, I choreographed a series of eight little dances. At some point, I would love to turn one of them into a full-length work and make a music video.

Unpredictable evolution

Tues, Oct 25 (9pm) The Buckingham, $10

Mauno's live show 'takes on a totally different energy and sound'

N

ova Scotia four-piece Mauno (mao-no) conjure up edgy and languid sonic sculptures glistening with emotion and swirling with unpredictability. Mauno was formed in 2014 by Nick Everett (guitar and vocals) and Eliza Niemi (bass, vocals, cello) after they met and became fast friends while attending a theatre performance. The Mauno line up was solidified a year later when guitarist Scott Boudreau and drummer Adam White were recruited.

“We come from different musical backgrounds which breeds tension of the good variety. We each have different ways of listening to and playing music but we’re always

open to hearing each other,” says Eliza Niemi from the road.

Touring in support of their new release Rough Master, Mauno will take the stage at The Buckingham with full roster of guest openers.

Released in late September, Rough Master is so much more than Niemi’s off the cuff description as “left of center pop music.” Lead singer Nick Everett’s angelic voice flutters over their musical landscape like a butterfly deftly navigating an undulating tidal pool, each song transitioning unpredictably through a series of personality changes.

“Every song has come about in a different way. For some tracks,

Nick has come with an almost finished idea and we have each written our parts; other ones tend to start as a small piece from another member and we craft them together. The goal is always to find a groove with each other and make it sound organic.”

The members of Mauno recorded Rough Master in a variety of spaces.

Most of the rhythm tracks were recorded by Oliver Nicol in a “Halifax basement” and by Mike Wright at The Drones Club in Montreal.

“The rest of the recording we did from our respective bedrooms. It felt comfortable and intimate being

able to finish the album in our own living space. Our good friend and collaborator Alex ‘Shep’ Sheppard, or 'The Shep' mixed it and helped us tie together all of the disparate recording techniques, spaces and mind-sets. He added cohesion,” says Niemi whose Finnish grandfather Mauno is the namesake of the band.

On Rough Master, the duality and interplay of the two guitarists creates volatility within the compositions, making them difficult for the listener to predict. Mauno’s compositions can first caress your ear like a gentle breeze before quickly mutating into a lurching dust devil possessing many faces. In addition

VUEWEEKLY.com | OCT 20 – OCT 26, 2016

to their main instruments, Mauno’s members also incorporate cello, piano, synthesizers, elements of noise and an array of percussive devices, including vibraphone, to produce a rich and complex arrangement that at times borders on theatrical.

“We treat the live performance as a completely different medium than the recorded material. It takes on a totally different energy and sound while still staying true to the core ideas of the songs. We listen to each other pretty intensely on stage and what we’re hearing can change night to night.”

hat was started in Halifax 11 years ago, has now spread to Edmonton.

Rockin’ 4 Dollars (R4D) is a game show with rock and roll sensibilities. Hosted and produced by Craig Martell (along with Ben Sir and Curt Blandy), R4D showcases local musical talent Mondays at The Buckingham.

“They have it in Calgary as well, but we all do our own thing,” Martell says. “We do various takes on the same idea. Each city makes it their own.”

Martell was at the original R4D in Halifax when it first started all those years ago, and keeps connections with the show in Calgary. He knows the concept well.

The bands (eight to ten of them) only play three song sets. One song is a cover chosen by Martell. At the end

FREEWILLASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the 1980s, two performance artists did a project entitled A Year Tied Together at the Waist. For 12 months, Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh were never farther than eight feet away from each other, bound by a rope. Hsieh said he tried this experiment because he felt very comfortable doing solo work, but wanted to upgrade his abilities as a collaborator. Montano testified that the piece "dislodged a deep hiddenness" in her. It sharpened her intuition and gave her a "heightened passion for living and relating." If you were ever going to engage in a comparable effort to deepen your intimacy skills, Aries, the coming weeks would be a favorable time to attempt it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the coming weeks would you prefer that we refer to you as "voracious"? Or do you like the word "ravenous" better? I have a feeling, based on the astrological omens, that you will be extra super eager to consume vast quantities of just about everything: food, information, beauty, sensory stimulation, novelty, pleasure, and who knows what else.

But please keep this in mind: Your hunger could be a torment or it could be a gift. Which way it goes may depend on your determination to actually enjoy what you devour. In other words, don't get so enchanted by the hypnotic power of your longing that you neglect to exult in the gratification when your longing is satisfied.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When the wind blows at ten miles per hour, a windmill generates eight times more power than when the breeze is five miles per hour. Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect there will be a similar principle at work in your life during the coming weeks. A modest increase in effort and intensity will make a huge difference in the results you produce. Are you willing to push yourself a bit beyond your comfort level in order to harvest a wave of abundance?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cuthbert Collingwood (17481810) had a distinguished career as an admiral in the British navy, leading the sailors under his command to numerous wartime victories. He was also a goodnatured softie whose men regarded him as generous and kind.

Between battles, while enjoying his downtime, he hiked through the English countryside carrying acorns, which he planted here and there so the "Navy would never want for oaks to build the fighting ships upon which the country's safety depended."

(Quoted in Life in Nelson's Navy,

by Dudley Pope.) I propose that we make him your role model for the coming weeks. May his example inspire you to be both an effective warrior and a tender

ROB BREZSNY FREEWILL@VUEWEEKLY.COM

soul who takes practical actions to plan for the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Eighteenth-century musician Giuseppe Tartini has been called "the godfather of modern violin playing." He was also an innovative composer who specialized in poignant and poetic melodies. One of his most famous works is the Sonata in G Minor, also known as the Devil's Trill. Tartini said it was inspired by a dream in which he made a pact with the Devil to provide him with new material. The Infernal One picked up a violin and played the amazing piece that Tartini transcribed when he woke up. Here's the lesson for you: He didn't actually sell his soul to the Devil. Simply engaging in this rebellious, taboo act in the realm of fantasy had the alchemical effect of unleashing a burst of creative energy. Try it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The planets have aligned in a curious pattern. I interpret it as meaning that you have cosmic permission to indulge in more self-interest and self-seeking than usual. So it won't be taboo for you to unabashedly say, "What exactly is in it for me?" or "Prove your love, my dear" or "Gimmeee gimmeee gimmee what I want." If someone makes a big promise, you shouldn't be shy about saying, "Will you put that in writing?" If you get a sudden urge to snag the biggest piece of the pie, obey that urge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the course of her long career, Libran actress Helen Hayes won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony. Years before all that glory poured down on her, she met playwright Charles MacArthur at a party in a posh Manhattan salon. Hayes was sitting shyly in a dark corner. MacArthur glided over to her and slipped a few salted peanuts into her hand. "I wish they were emeralds," he told her. It was love at first sight.

A few years after they got married, MacArthur bought Hayes an emerald necklace. I foresee a metaphorically comparable event in your near future, Libra: peanuts serving as a promise of emeralds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Welcome to the Painkiller Phase of your cycle. It's time to relieve your twinges, dissolve your troubles, and banish your torments.

You can't sweep away the whole mess in one quick heroic purge, of course. But I bet you can pare it down by at least 33 percent.

(More is quite possible.) To get started, make the following declaration five times a day for the next three days: "I am grateful for all the fascinating revelations and indispensable lessons that my pain has taught me." On each of the three days after that, affirm this truth five times: "I have learned all I can from my pain, and therefore no longer need its

“Will Ya Look at the Time?”

-- it’s a little off.

reminders. Goodbye, pain." On the three days after that, say these words, even if you can't bring yourself to mean them with complete sincerity: "I forgive everybody of everything."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For the foreseeable future, you possess the following powers: to make sensible that which has been unintelligible . . . to find amusement in situations that had been tedious . . . to create fertile meaning where before there had been sterile chaos. Congratulations, Sagittarius! You are a first-class transformer. But that's not all.

I suspect you will also have the ability to distract people from concerns that aren't important . . . to deepen any quest that has been too superficial or careless to succeed . . . and to ask the good questions that will render the bad questions irrelevant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the past eleven months, did you ever withhold your love on purpose? Have there been times when you "punished" those you cared about by acting cold and aloof? Can you remember a few occasions when you could have been more generous or compassionate, but chose not to be? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the next three weeks will be an excellent time to atone.

You're in a phase of your astrological cycle when you can reap maximum benefit from correcting stingy mistakes. I suggest that you make gleeful efforts to express your most charitable impulses. Be a tower of bountiful power.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1415, a smaller English army defeated French forces at the Battle of Agincourt in northern France.

Essential to England's victory were its 7,000 longbowmen -- archers who shot big arrows using bows that were six feet long. So fast and skilled were these warriors that they typically had three arrows flying through the air at any one time. That's the kind of high-powered proficiency I recommend that you summon during your upcoming campaign. If you need more training to reach that level of effectiveness, get it immediately.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let's imagine your life as a novel. The most recent chapter, which you'll soon be drawing to a close, might be called "The Redemption of Loneliness." Other apt titles: "Intimacy with the Holy Darkness" or "The Superpower of Surrender" or "The End Is Secretly the Beginning." Soon you will start a new chapter, which I've tentatively dubbed "Escape from Escapism," or perhaps "Liberation from False Concepts of Freedom" or "Where the Wild Things Are." And the expansive adventures of this next phase will have been made possible by the sweet-and-sour enigmas of the past four weeks. V

SEX-OLOGY

Trump’s ‘locker room talk’ #NotOkay Sexology columnist bids farewell, but not without some parting shots at the Donald

D

onald Trump. The very fact of his existence makes me irrepressibly angry. Somehow this week, that anger reached a whole new level when I heard the Republican nominee gleefully describe how his celebrity status entitles him to sexually molest women.

Even more preposterous and offensive was his dismissive “locker room talk” excuse, suggesting that all men talk that way, and his egregiously misogynistic denials of the many accusations from women who he allegedly violated. I fucking hate that guy.

But even as I actively will Mr. Trump to suffer in eternal hellfire with no one but Rosie O’Donnell to keep him company, I can see one silver lining of his disgusting existence; the media storm has created a platform for us to talk about sexual assault. As with the public discussions of cases involving Bill Cosby, Jian Ghomeshi, and

Brock Turner etc., the social conversation has once again focused in on the parameters of consent, rape culture, and the systemic misogyny that has long been used to justify casual sexual abuse and subjugation. Most importantly, it has created opportunity for innumerable women to broadcast their own experiences of sexual assault, shedding even more light on the pervasiveness of sexual predation, tearing holes in the distorted logic we’ve historically used to excuse it, and creating a virtual support group for victims everywhere with #NotOkay.

There is a profound benefit from an honest and accepting social discourse about sex. For the past two years I have had the privilege of writing for Vue Weekly, and while I’ve greatly enjoyed the stage it’s given me to proselytize about social injustice, more than anything

I’ve valued the opportunity to hear and answer your questions. When I look back at the various inquiries I’ve received, I am filled with a deep compassion and empathy, and I am struck by the consistency of which my response included the words “that’s pretty normal.”

The thing is that most of the sexual issues that people face are “normal”. Whatever the difficulty, it is often the case that the “problem” is not inherent, but rather the result of a belief or idea that leads to shame, embarrassment, unrealistic expectations, unfavourable comparisons, ridiculous social standards, or the internal friction that arises from living inauthentically. What better way to combat these issues than cultivating an accepting, honest, and open social dialogue about sex?

Every day I meet with people and hear their heartbroken accounts of difficulty, and it is my job to help

them to deconstruct the issue and work to improve it. Every day, I tell people that their issue is common and that they have nothing to be ashamed of. This reassurance is necessary because we have neglected to educate people on the realities of sex. And I’m not just talking about institutional failures in sex education, but also the disservice we do when we only speak of sex in polarities— conversations about sex do not have to occur in secretive hushed tones or with the enthusiasm of a character from Sex in the City. There is a whole unsensational middle ground that we neglect, creating a blind spot for healthy understanding and discourse.

The fact is that we shouldn’t need a political controversy to trigger conversation. How amazing would it be if there was no awkwardness surrounding sex? If we could stroll into a doctors office and shame-

lessly ask for an STI screen, or if we casually sat down and chatted with our friends about fluctuating sex drive and an occasionally unresponsive penis… How much healthier would we be if we talked about sex with the same informality that we talk about a knee or elbow? Remove the stigma, remove the shame, have an honest conversation—we’ll all be better off.

But in the meantime, if you have a concern or if you ever need to talk, you know where to find me.

THE TRUMP TALK

Waiting to pay for my groceries at the market this evening, this guy, stinking of booze, says to my 9-year-old daughter, “Sweetheart, can you put the divider thing there for me?” First, why is some leering grown man calling my child “sweetheart”? He then thumps two huge bottles of vodka down on the belt.

I move closer to my daughter; he then reaches his hand over me and wraps his hand around her arm, saying, “Now, you be nice to your Mommy, sweetie.” I pluck his hand off. “Do not touch my child,” I say.

My other hand is pressed against my daughter’s ribs, and I can feel her heart POUNDING. “You have a beautiful daughter,” he says. The cashier, whom we know, a guy, looks at me, eyebrows up. I roll my eyes.

So pissed. We leave. “I hated that man,” my daughter says once we get in the car. “He smelled bad, I wanted to hit him, if anyone ever does that to me again I’m going to scream.”

Here we effing go: “Sometimes you have to be hypervigilant,” I tell my daughter, “because some gross men out there feel they are entitled to touch us.” And then I share my story: “When I was a little girl…” I don’t even remember the first time it happened to me. I don’t remember the last time some pervert rubbed up against me. But that’s what you have to deal with when you are a girl. We have to learn to brush this shit off, to make sure that this endless assault course of predators doesn’t take one bit of your pride, your confidence, or your sense of peace as you walk through this world. I am so angry.

We should call this the “Trump

22 AT THE BACK

Talk.” The depressing conversation that every parent needs to have with their little girl about revolting, predatory, entitled men. The Trump Talk.

Mother And Daughter Discuss Enraging Realities I’m sorry about what happened to your daughter at the grocery store—I’m sorry about what was done to your daughter by that entitled asshole at the grocery store— but I’m glad you were there with her when it happened.

The author Kelly Oxford, in response to Donald Trump’s horrific comments about sexually assaulting women, called on women to tweet about their first assaults under the hashtag #notokay. Oxford’s post went viral— more than a million women responded—and reading through the seemingly endless thread, I was struck by how many women were alone the first time they were assaulted. Oxford herself was alone the first time it happened to her: “Old man on a city bus grabs my ‘pussy’ and smiles at me. I’m 12.”

A lot of women I know, including some very close friends, were your daughter’s age the first time it happened to them, MADDER, but they were alone. Tragically, many assumed that they had done something wrong, that they had invited this on themselves somehow, and most didn’t go to their parents for fear of getting into trouble. And when it inevitably happened again, some became convinced they were indeed to blame, that they were bringing this on themselves somehow, because they thought it wasn’t happening to anyone else, just them.

So thank God you were there with your daughter, MADDER, there to pull that asshole’s hand off of her, there to protect her from worse, and there to help her process the experience. And in that car ride home you inoculated your daughter with your message (you are a human being and you have a right to move through this world unmolested) before gross predators could infect her with theirs (you are only an object and we have a right to touch you). I want to live in a world where this sort of thing doesn’t happen to anyone’s daughter, MADDER, but until we do: Every little girl should be so lucky as to have a trusted adult standing by ready to intervene when it does happen. I only wish the grocery store clerk had intervened, too.

Regarding your suggestion, MADDER, I’ve received roughly 10 million emails begging me to do for Donald Trump what I did for Rick Santorum: My readers and I redefined santorum (“the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex”) and some wanted us to do the same for Trump. People even sent in suggestions: trump is the streak of shit a large turd sometimes leaves on the bottom of the toilet bowl; trump is the snot that sometimes runs out of your nose when you’re giving a blowjob; a trump is a guy so hopelessly inept in bed that no woman (or man) wants him, no matter how rich he is. The suggested new meanings all struck me as trivial and snarky—and I don’t think there’s anything trivial about the racism, sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and violence that Trump has mainstreamed and normalized, and I’m not inclined to snark about it.

And, besides, “trump” already has a slang meaning: It means “to fart audibly” in Great Britain—and that definition is already in the Oxford English Dictionary. And it frankly didn’t seem possible to make Donald Trump’s name any more revolting than he already has. If I may paraphrase the amazing letter the New York Times sent to Trump after he demanded they retract a story about the women he’s assaulted: Nothing I could say in my sex column could even slightly elevate the feelings of disgust decent people experience whenever they hear his name. Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already redefined his last name.

But then your e-mail arrived, MADDER, and I set aside the column I was already working on to rush your idea into print. Because your suggestion— that parents call the conversation they need to have with their daughters about predatory and entitled men the “Trump Talk”—is just as fitting and apt as the “frothy mixture” definition of santorum. It’s not trivial and it’s not snarky. It has gravitas, MADDER, and here’s hoping “Trump Talk” isn’t just widely adopted, but universally practiced. Because no little girl who gets groped on a bus or in a grocery store or on a subway or in a classroom should ever have to wonder if she did something wrong.

BIPARTISAN RELATIONS

Big fan, longtime reader and listener, and I need your help. How in the hell can a bipartisan relationship survive this election? Things have gotten so heated that my husband and I recently exploded in an ugly argument. I know I’m not fighting fair— calling him stupid and irresponsible

for supporting Trump—and I’m being a shitty partner, and he’s being shitty in response by spouting Clinton conspiracy theories. A huge part of it is that he’s someone who lives to disagree—a true contrarian—and our current political environment has been like manna from heaven for his sense of humour. What advice do you have? We’ve been together for ages and have survived other elections and issues. But, as you know, this one’s different.

Struggling After Debate Unlike your husband, SAD, I don’t think there’s anything funny about Donald Trump. I’m going to enjoy watching him lose the election, and I’m going to enjoy watching his hotels and golf courses go out of business one by one, but our politics and public life have been sickened by the poison that is Donald Trump. It’s going to take years for us to recover, SAD, and I just don’t see the humour in it.

And personally, SAD, I wouldn’t be able to climb into bed with someone who was planning to vote for Donald Trump. I would be out the door. But if you can’t leave because you love him despite his moral and political bankruptcy, or because leaving isn’t an option for you financially, avoid the subject for the next three weeks, don’t take whatever bait your husband throws out, and try not to gloat too much when Hillary hands Donald his ass on November 8.
