Under the Radar: Jim Marks' Year-end List for 2023

Samuel Leipold, Jürg Bucher, Lucca Lo Bianco

The stream of great new music is constant and impossible to keep up with. Inevitably, some of it goes largely unnoticed. My year-end list consists of releases that I really enjoyed but didn’t get around to writing about and haven’t seen reviewed elsewhere in English. They are presented in no particular order.

Samuel Leipold, Jürg Bucher, Lucca Lo Bianco — Ostro (Ezz-thetics)

This trio of clarinet, double bass, and guitar delivers atmospheric free jazz. Experimental without being confrontational (included is a choice Jimmy Giuffre cover), Ostro offers a rarely heard sound palette and consistently interesting arrangements.

Luis Ribeiro — A Inven​ç​ã​o da Fic​ç​ã​o (Porta Jazz)

The Porta Jazz label out of Portugal released fewer records than usual this year, perhaps a lagging effect of Covid. One standout is the debut by guitarist and composer Ribeiro, who leads a sextet with tenor and baritone saxophones in the front line. Love the eerie vocalization on the opening track. Space age and swinging.

Adrián Royo Trío — Pangea (Errabal Jazz)

This Spanish release initially caught my eye in the La Habitacion de Jazz blog because of the involvement of double bassist Manel Fortià. Strong original melodies and tight interplay make for a standout piano trio recording in a great year for piano trios.

Javier Burin — Escenarios (Los Años Luz Discos)

Another excellent but low-profile piano trio release this year. The assuredness and inventiveness of Argentinian Burin’s playing are the more remarkable given that he is only in his early twenties; check out especially the unlikely cover of “Tenor Madness.”

Marcus Eads — Pride of Ostego (self-released)

This Minnesotan has been putting out gentle Takoma-style guitar music for more than a decade. Strongly rooted in the rural midwestern landscape, his playing and homespun compositions call to mind back porches, canoe trips, and sitting by the fireside.

Scott Tuma — Nobody’s Music (Haha)

I was thrilled to stumble across this unheralded release recently by the Souled American alumnus and one of the architects of slowcore. Apparently first appearing last year on cassette, Nobody’s Music, coming six years after No Greener Grass, delivers more ambling and spindly acoustic guitar lines that seem to drip out of the instrument with the occasional accompaniment of what sounds like harmonica or accordion. Enchanting as always.

Mohamed Masmoudi — Villes Éternelles (Centre des Musiciens du Monde)

Canadian oud master Masmoudi creates a compelling blend of Arabic music and jazz in a percussion-less quartet also featuring clarinet, piano, and double bass. With top-notch musicianship and catchy tunes, the group shows how good world music fusion can sound.

Jorge Abadias — Camins (Underpool)

The Underpool label documents the lively Barcelona jazz scene. Its 2023 releases include this quartet date led by guitarist Abadias. His original post-bop (in the broad sense) compositions tend toward slower tempos, and fine soloing abounds.

Jakob Dreyer — Songs, Hymns, and Ballads Vol. 2 (self-released)

Another solid post-bop quartet recording featuring original compositions. Three U.S. musicians fill out German double bassist Dreyer’s quartet, and this second volume nicely complements Vol. 1 released last year.

Various Artists — You Better Mind: Southeastern Songs to Stop Cop City (self-released)

This project, spearheaded by the Magic Tuber String Band (who also released the outstanding Tarantism in 2023), brings together a broad swath of musicians, including Joseph Allred, Shane Parish, Sally Anne Morgan, Nathan Bowles, the Tubers themselves, and some I was unfamiliar with. The music tends toward the rustic; much of it is excellent, and the cause is as noble as they come.

Jim Marks

Tomás Saranceno

About the Artist / Artwork:

Tomás Saraceno is an Argentine artist and architect, often curating installation artworks of the largest of scales. This particular body of work, 'Cloud Cities', is a transformative, immersive experience where he utilizes a great deal of space, dimension, various lightweight, inflatable structures, and black, elastic ropes. These materials fascinate the general public, suggesting similarity to that of a spider's web, visually, yet proposing a path toward a hovering utopian city that defies gravity.

Since being an active artist since the early 2000s, he has since been engaged with wide-scaled installation projects, where his artwork is directed toward awareness of carbon pollution, and the push of our planet into being Capitalocene. Thus he models 'our way' out of the mess of fossil fuels and demonstrates this through his Aeroscene sculptures, (spheres able to float simply by the heat of the sun).

Relating to my artwork experiments:

I found this art incredibly beautiful and eye-catching, imagining being in that webbed-like space. Similarly, I would relate this to my own use of materials where black, line shapes situate in a collective, cumulative manner to form structures that the viewer can travel in and exist in. I also liked how this artist is proactive in using materials that are environmentally efficient.

The Female Architect Behind Buenos Aires's Underground Necropolis During a recent spring afternoon in Buenos Aires, some 70 people crowded into a narrow, subterranean corridor straining to hear an actor in a blue dress. “This place doesn’t exist in the annals of Argentinian architecture,” the actor informed them in Spanish, motioning to two columbariums stacked 14 niches tall. “And the architect’s signature isn’t hidden in any of this monument’s walls.” The group was gathered in the Sixth Pantheon, a two-level labyrinth of crypts, tunnels, and sunken gardens tucked within the city’s largest cemetery. In 2019, a local drama company, the Mutant Woman, began staging immersive theater performances in this underground city of the dead. By the end of 2022, A More Realistic Work Than That of the World had become one of the hottest tickets in town, selling out within minutes. In the production, fictional cemetery workers guide attendees through the Pantheon’s nine interlinked galleries and 40,000 vaults. Along the way, audiences meet Ítala Fulvia Villa, the female architect behind the midcentury marvel, whose name and contributions were nearly forgotten—until now. For years, this striking work of modernist architecture was either overlooked entirely or attributed to Clorindo Testa. The famed brutalist did indeed contribute to the Great Pantheon, as it’s also called, but the actor dressed as Villa wanted to make one thing clear—“Here, he worked for her. She was his boss.” The Pantheon is hidden in the very center of Chacarita Cemetery, which covers some 230 acres (about a third the size of Central Park in New York City) in one of the city's hippest neighborhoods. Chacarita opened in 1871 partly because its predecessor, Recoleta Cemetery, refused to take yellow fever victims. As with Recoleta, Chacarita is laid out along boulevards lined with Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and neo-gothic mausoleums housing everyone from ex-presidents to tango legends. But walk past the ornate memorials and the cemetery opens onto a vast swathe of grass. Many tour guides simply cross this lawn not bothering to tell people about the subterranean mausoleum that lies beneath. French architect Léa Namer, who has raised awareness of the Sixth Pantheon with a website, a series of exhibits, and a forthcoming book, first came across the building in 2013. “I had this feeling of being in mythology, like Orpheus going down into the underworld,” she says of descending one of its colossal stairways. “It was like discovering a large, forgotten city.” The Pantheon was an attempt to accommodate an unprecedented number of dead after rural migrants and European immigrants flocked to booming Buenos Aires during the early 20th century. With space for some 23,200 coffins and 17,000 urns, the Pantheon was designed to meet the demand. And yet, the first time Namer noticed sunlight from internal courtyards filtering through concrete latticework, she saw the hand of someone who “tried to do his or her best to make the people visiting their dead, their relatives, feel good.” Namer’s Argentinian friends and colleagues could tell her little about the Pantheon or its origin. Even in 2018, an article in La Nación, one of Argentina's two primary newspapers, focused on Testa’s contributions—the exact extent of which are unclear, though it’s widely agreed he was responsible for designing the concrete screens with geometric cutouts and matching sculpture of a cross near the entrances. But the La Nación article never once named the project’s lead. A 379-page history of Chacarita cemetery, Angels of Buenos Aires, barely mentions the Sixth Pantheon, focusing instead on a series of smaller subterranean pantheons near the cemetery’s entrance. As Namer embarked on her own painstaking research, she unearthed a 1961 issue of Nuestra Arquitectura that featured the newly built Pantheon. It said the creators “sought to eliminate the sensation of a catacomb.” It described electric coffin elevators—still used today—and a state-of-the-art deodorizing system. It also listed those involved in the project, including Testa, who was then in his 20s, and, hidden in the magazine’s table of contents, the project’s planner and director: Ítala Fulvia Villa. “For me, it was a shock,” Namer said of discovering that the lead architect was a woman, “because when I was downstairs in the Sexto Panteon I felt something I never felt before while visiting a building. Now, almost 10 years later, I think I can say I almost fell in love with the building.” Among the few surviving documents pertaining to Ítala Fulvia Villa are letters from Argentina's Central Society of Architects, such as one offering condolences on the death of her father Celestino Villa, an Italian engineer who came to Argentina during the great European immigration wave. Some of them address Ítala, who never married or had children, as Señorita Arquitecto. The use of the masculine form of the word shows just how few arquitectas existed in Argentina at the time, and has inspired the creators of A More Realistic Work to make a docufiction film that borrows "Señorita Arquitecto" for its title. Villa was only the sixth woman to enter the University of Buenos Aires's architecture school. After graduating in 1935, she went on to become the sole woman among the 12 members of the Austral Group, a collective that included the designers of the famed butterfly chair. In 1937, Villa was one of the group members who helped their modernist muse, Le Corbusier, flesh out his master plan for Buenos Aires. Though the plan was never officially adopted, their vision of a waterfront “business city” eventually materialized in the form of Puerto Madero, a waterfront neighborhood in the city's central business district. Villa would go on to dedicate her career almost exclusively to urbanism, at one point creating a much-lauded, though never realized, plan to modernize the isolated and underserved Bajo Flores neighborhood in Buenos Aires. In the 1950s, while working in the city’s Directorate General of Architecture and Urbanism, she oversaw the building of several underground pantheons in Flores and Chacarita cemetery, including the Sixth Pantheon. Very little has been written about Villa’s intentions behind the Sixth Pantheon, according to Argentinian researcher and architect Inés Moisset, who featured Villa on her site “Un Dia | Una Arquitecta.” But Moisset sees much in common with urban, modernist interests—namely the idea of minimalist apartments and collective housing (in this case, in the form of crypts), the importance of circulation, experimentation with materials like reinforced concrete, and the idea of freeing up space for recreation. “I think we can deduce that the same ideas that [modernists] used for the cities of the living, she used for the cities of the dead,” Moisset said. The Pantheon was the city’s “it” resting place when it first opened, and yet it wasn’t included in Francisco Bullrich’s seminal 1963 survey Contemporary Argentinian Architecture, a slight that Moisset believes must have been intentional. “On the one hand female architects are always less recognized, but on the other hand I suspect that there was something personal between Bullrich and her,” she says. Like so much surrounding Villa, this is speculation. Even the exact date of her death in 1991 is unknown. Whatever the cause of Bullrich’s omission, Moisset believes it doomed the Pantheon to decades of obscurity. To remedy this, Moisset, alongside Namer and others, launched a petition calling for Buenos Aires to recognize the Pantheon as “one of the most significant examples of modernist architecture and landscaping, both locally and internationally.” The petition won the support of city legislator María Cecilia Ferrero, and the Pantheon is expected to receive final approval as a cultural landmark sometime in 2023. Advocates hope the designation will help win funds to restore the complex. Until now, much of the Sixth Pantheon’s upkeep has fallen on freelance caretakers hired by family members of the deceased. During the 50 years he has worked in the cemetery, 75-year-old Coco Alvarez, who tends to the Pantheon’s oldest gallery, has gone from cleaning and maintaining about 500 crypts to just 80 or so. These days, he says, few from the younger generations visit the Pantheon as relatives of those interred also begin to die off. This, at least in part, has caused the Pantheon to become “very neglected,” Alvarez says. He believes the city’s efforts to maintain it are just for show. “They come, they look, they take photos, but they never do anything,” he says. “I put in the lightbulbs, the trash cans, the ladders so people can climb up—the city doesn’t give me anything.” A More Realistic Work is currently on break, but the Mutant Woman theater company aims to remount the show in Chacarita soon. Those who attend are likely to see pigeons roosting inside gaping holes in the ceilings, crypt covers that have had their bronze numerals and crucifixes stolen, and covers that have gone missing entirely, revealing the coffins and urns inside. News reports describe “total abandonment” and urban explorers upload videos of their “terrifying” visits. The show’s carefully choreographed trajectory doesn’t shy away from the Pantheon’s more unsightly areas. “Even though it’s sad, it’s also beautiful in a very weird way," says co-creator of the production Victoria Roland. “If we’re talking about preservation and cultural patrimony, of course, this place should be much better taken care of,” she continues. “But for the play, which is an act of contemplation and an aesthetic event, you don’t judge these things. You just try to see what all these mixed sensations make you feel about death.” Roland believes the play has helped raise awareness of the Pantheon, and she and director Juan Coulasso have worked closely with its advocates. Among other things, they helped Namer install a ceramic plaque crediting Villa as the Pantheon’s architect and another plaque on Villa’s family mausoleum, located in the older part of the cemetery. Both have since been bleached by the sun, but Namer—true to her name—plans to replace them when she returns to Buenos Aires. Roland can no longer recall the plaque’s exact location, bringing to mind a line from the play. “It’s just like that,” an actor told the audience. “Once you go down, you get lost. It doesn’t matter where you walk or which corridor you choose, you always get lost. I think that’s what she wanted.” https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/chacarita-cemetery-female-architect-villa-pantheon

"Butterfly Chair", as the name suggests, is shaped like a flying butterfly. This butterfly chair is a folding chair, which is made of wooden folding to form a shelf. The soft surface of leather and textile is "hung" on it, and the high-end two points of the shelf form a backrest. part, and the two tips of the lower end are the armrest part, in the form of a butterfly, so this chair is called "butterfly chair". The butterfly is made of natural and environmentally friendly solid wood material, which will not cause harm to the human body. The wood is hard and the structure is fine, the folding chair produced is strong and stable, and has a good bearing capacity; the wood is light and easy to carry and move. This chair is one of the most popular folding safari chairs in the world. This chair was designed by three Argentinian architects and has existed for a long time.

This chair is popular because of its simple construction, foldable, portable, modern form and interesting shape. It's a unique way to "hang" it on a shelf made of wood. However, this kind of structure did not originate from the "butterfly chair", but rather a long time ago. In terms of design, it is not easy to say which one is "original". It is not easy to say that the butterfly chair is original, and some people will compare with earlier similar chairs. If two chairs are hung from the frame and soft surface of this chair In terms of characteristics, it can be traced back to the 1870s, when similar chairs were already in use, but the shape of the chair was different from the "butterfly chair", and the structure was similar.

When asked about how she became a part of the Bethyl fandom, what it means to her, and what inspires her art, she shared the following:

Hi guys! Well, first of all thank you very much for this space. I could talk for hours about what I feel, I´ll try to make this short. I officially joined the fandom in September this year, but I actually started watching TWD in early 2020 and using Tumblr in January 2021. I love to clarify that while the series was an unexpected love, I've known Bethyl since 2014. My account has existed since that year, although I never knew how to use it, and so the Bethyl-gate came to me from the side of hatred and criticism. I remember not giving it importance, beyond being surprised by the amount of attention they gave it for something that supposedly "did not exist" (hehe). Well, I began to watch TWD superficially, because the zombies scared me very much and I could do my I work from college (I’m on my way to become an architect) without being distracted. But long story short, I became obsessed. At first I was resigned to Beth's fate, because I'm a big fan of spoiling the end of the things I consume (I'm quite anxious, I don't like to be surprised) and I even tried to find the '' spark '' in Connie's character. But all was lost, Bethyl became a passion, and the pain it caused me was fought with happy endings au fics. And so I got here, where my heart and my sense of responsibility were totally lost. I always loved drawing as a gift to myself, a way of expressing myself without prejudice, and this was the very first community where I really felt the need to share it, to talk to people who love these characters as much as I do. If you already follow me, you probably know how much I like to talk about how in love I am with this small space of the internet, how amazed I felt with the kindness of its people (except, of course, the enormous bullying that one of our most talented members received, which almost stopped me to interact. If you are reading this Courtney, I love you so so much I’m your fan!!!) But not even my poor English could stop me. I thought: hell, there is Google translator. (And…I am Argentinian, we are quite shameless). All this prelude serves to explain that Bethyl is not only a very special ship for me (one that makes me very sensitive and consumes a lot of energy from my day) but it was also an impulse to continue practicing my drawing and to understand that this is something that I really enjoy doing, and of which I can be proud in addition to my future career. At the beginning my drawings were almost precarious, made by hand and experimenting with different techniques, and since I bought a digital tablet I have been fascinated with the universe that it implies. I love how, above all, no one in this fandom had a negative word towards my experiments. These people really encouraged me to improve by letting me know that they enjoyed these little contributions. I have no words for that feeling of community and understanding other than to thank you guys eternally (we Argentines are quite expressive and passionate too, hehe, please don´t mind me). I am forever in love with both Beth and Daryl as characters, but it is the sweetness and courage in their dynamic, the depth of their conversations and their bond that convinced me that nothing good can last in this series; they are truly a perfect match. I also love and miss Hershel and Glenn very much, and I have mixed feelings for Negan (but it's probably the fact that I adore Jeff and Hilarie Burton) So, to close this part, I reiterate that I love to talk, and you are very much invited to stop by my blog to read me with the voice of Gloria in Modern family.

For her personal list of favorite artists in the fandom, she recommends:

I want to clarify that I enjoy all art and almost-all fics, and that I am a bit shy to express personally when I like something (I'm working on it, I don't want to seem intense or annoying) but of course I have people whose profile I stalk at daily.

@gala-art​, who has such a distinctive and sweet style

@lemortehomme​, whose art is delicate, incisive, and could kick Tim Burton's ass three times in a row.

@courtneyshortney82​ and her neat and organized moodboards, as well as her written art which is another category apart.

My fairy godmother @boltthrutheheart​, who makes some BEAUTIFUL edits.

@scarlettdixon​ of whom I love all her pieces and the energy!!!! they transmit.

And I want to make a special mention of @darylbeth​'s text posts because I consider them art and they deserve to be in a museum because of how much I cry laughing with them.

I'm sure there are many more people that I love and that, when I finish sending this, I will want to kill myself for having forgotten, but it is probably because I still get dizzy with Tumblr, and I really have a bad memory. I tried to limit myself to writing about those accounts that make art, because if I have to talk about the authors, it's going to last whole weeks.

Last but not least, I hope that everything I wrote is intelligible, and I hope that, if you so wish, we could be friends. I love you guys!

She shared some of her own favorite creations with us:

“Baby, I’m Your Light (Or White Trash Brunch)”

“I Said I Miss Her, So I Had to Draw Her”

“Hope Has Left Me Here, Hope Has Left Me Wonderin’”

“The Poetry Inside Me Is Warm Like A Gun”

The fandom is lucky to have such a passionate new artist, and we hope that @auxsentiers​ gifts the fandom with many more beautiful pieces!
