C’est Normal 52R Hybrid Speedboat,
There’s no other dayboat like it out there, and it claims the title of “the world’s fastest RIB ever built.” Even in pre-delivery runs, the c’est normal 52R Hybrid broke the Rib World Record of 101.6 knots (116 mph/187 kph), “flying” at 104.2 knots (120 mph/192 kph).

The Nobel prize in literature has been awarded to 64-year-old Norwegian author Jon Fosse “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”. His works include the Septology series of novels, Aliss at the Fire, Melancholy and A Shining.
“His huge oeuvre, spanning a variety of genres, comprises about 40 plays and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, essays, children’s books and translations,” said Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel committee for literature. “Fosse blends a rootedness in the language and nature of his Norwegian background with artistic techniques in the wake of modernism.”
“I am overwhelmed, and somewhat frightened. I see this as an award to the literature that first and foremost aims to be literature, without other considerations,” Fosse said in a statement.
He also told the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK that he was “surprised but also not” to have won. “I’ve been part of the discussion for 10 years and have more and less tentatively prepared myself that this could happen,” he said.
Jacques Testard, Fosse’s fiction publisher, said on hearing the news: “He is an exceptional writer, who has managed to find a totally unique way of writing fiction. As his Norwegian editor Cecilie Seiness put it recently in an interview: if you open any book by Jon and read a couple of lines, it couldn’t be written by anyone else.
“His fiction is incantatory, mystical, and rooted in the landscape of the western fjords where he grew up,” Testard added. “It’s very important to remember that he writes in Nynorsk or New Norwegian, a minority language in Norway, a political act in itself. He’s also an exceptional playwright and poet. He’s an incredible mind, and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.”
The Norwegian writer’s English translator Damion Searls said he is thrilled Fosse’s work will now find an even wider audience. “I first brought Fosse’s fiction into English almost 20 years ago. I read Melancholy in German and immediately felt that the work was brilliant and needed to be translated. I found an American publisher and a co-translator, and started learning Norwegian”, he told the Guardian. “I have since translated around 10 books of his, depending on how you count them, including a libretto, a play and a forthcoming children’s book.”
Though the author and translator mostly communicate via email and hadn’t met in person until the 2022 International Booker prize events in London, Searls considers Fosse a friend. “He is the same kind, wise, modest, friendly, supportive person over email as you would expect from his novels, and corresponding with him has always brought me the same kind of peace and serenity his novels so magically impart.”
Born in 1959 in Haugesund on the west coast of Norway, Fosse grew up in Strandebarm. Aged seven, he nearly died in an accident, which he said was “the most important experience” of his childhood and one that “created” him as an artist. In his adolescence, he aspired to be a rock guitarist, before turning his ambitions to writing.
His debut novel, Raudt, svart (Red, Black), was published in 1983. His first play to be performed, Og aldri skal vi skiljast (And Never Shall We Part), was staged at the National Theater in Bergen in 1994. Yet, the first play he wrote, Nokon kjem til å komme (Someone Is Going to Come), would lead to his breakthrough in 1999 when French director Claude Régy staged it in Nanterre.
Fosse went on to become the most-performed Norwegian playwright after Henrik Ibsen. He has written more than 30 plays, including Namnet (The Name), Vinter (Winter) and Ein sommars dag (A Summer’s Day). His longer works include the Septology trilogy, the third volume of which was shortlisted for the international Booker prize in 2022.
Septology, which Fosse started during a pause from playwriting and after converting to Catholicism in 2013, is about an ageing painter, Asle, living alone on the south-west coast of Norway and reflecting on his life. There in Bjørgvin lives another Asle, who is also a painter but struggles with alcohol. The doppelgangers are consumed by the same existential questions about death, faith and love.
In 1989, the same year that Fosse’s novel Naustet (“Boathouse”) came out, the writer taught the fellow Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård, who was a student at the Academy of Writing in Hordaland. “Fosse’s voice is unmistakable in whatever he writes, and is never anything if not present,” wrote Knausgård in 2019.
Fosse’s UK publisher is Fitzcarraldo Editions, which also publishes Annie Ernaux, the winner of the 2022 Nobel prize in literature. Fosse’s win marks the London-based independent publisher’s third win in five years: Olga Tokarczuk was made laureate in 2018. The prize was postponed and awarded in 2019 instead due to a sexual assault scandal involving the husband of one of the academy’s former members which led to several members resigning.
Fosse resides between Austria and Norway. He will receive the prize at a ceremony in Stockholm on 10 December. He will receive 11m SEK (£821,209), up from 10m SEK awarded last year.

Hellsingland Underground comenzaron su andadura actuando en los bosques de la región de Hälsingland que les da nombre, en su Suecia natal, en un festival ilegal en el verano de 2006. Las primeras críticas celebraron las canciones de la banda, sus letras reveladoras, sus armonías y el puro y simple placer de tocar su música.
El alma del grupo, el cantante Charlie Granberg compone estas canciones sentado en el porche de su pequeña casa en las orillas del rio Ljusnan. La escena podría resultar un cliché en comparación con el sur americano del que Hellsingland Underground tomaron prestadas tantas influencias en sus dos primeros discos, pero es pura autenticidad en mitad del frío nórdico. De ahí la etiqueta que ha acompañado a la banda; “northern rock”, es decir, rock sureño facturado en las tierras vikingas del norte de Europa.
Su debut de 2008 supuso en affair amoroso con todas esas influencias comunes del southern rock americano, que se confirmaron en su continuación 'Madness & Grace' en 2010, consolidando también su propia identidad. Un camino que desembocó en 'Evil Will Prevail', donde sus letras se tornaron más oscuras y personales, acorde a los tiempos, serias sin ser pretenciosas, y los arreglos musicales más genuinos sin dejar de lado su poso sureño. Como unos Hellacopters tardíos que hubieran sustituido el legado de MC5 por el de Skynyrd y Allman Bros., o unos The Soundtrack Of Our Lives más tradicionales y apegados a las raíces folk, pero igual de inspirados melódicamente, Hellsingland Underground continúan la tradición de las grandes bandas de rock n' roll que los países escandinavos nos han brindado en las últimas décadas.
‘Understanding Gravity’ (2016) debutó en el número uno de las listas de vinilo en Suecia, siendo su trabajo más aclamado y mejor vendido hasta la fecha. Solos de guitarras dobladas que recuerdan irremediablemente a los mejores Thin Lizzy, pinceladas del blues rock británico de la era dorada y su impronta en bandas de hard rock setentero como Nazareth. El periodista sueco Stefan Nilsson los definió como si Glenn Hughes nunca hubiera abandonado Trapeze y la banda se hubiera establecido en la melancolía nórdica de los bosques suecos. Pero la sombra de Jon Lord llevando las riendas del sonido púrpura también es alargada. Incluso los toques folk que hacen de ellos una rareza única podrán recordar pinceladas de los Pogues o los Waterboys.
youtube
Tras pasar por el Azkena Rock Festival, en lo que es uno de los momentos clave de su carrera, la salida del guitarrista Mats Olsson, sustituido por Jerry Ask, marca una nueva etapa para la banda, que se hace evidente en ‘A Hundred Years Is Nothing’ (2019) un trabajo que aunque mantiene los mimbres del sonido del grupo, incorpora nuevos elementos, como sintetizadores, redondeando un sonido que sigue siendo puramente setentero pero hacia terrenos ahora más atmosféricos, psicodélicos, y con pinceladas glam, como un cruce imposible entre The Doors, Pink Floyd, Queen y… ¡ABBA!.
La llegada de la pandemia les hace replantearse su lugar en el mundo,y deciden construir su propio estudio de grabación, los Hellquarters, en una vieja carpintería de su ciudad, donde solidifican su amistad, y recobran el pulso por las guitarras a todo volumen sin olvidar la seña de identidad de sus melodías y su groove. Cambio de batería mediante (Johan Gröndal agarra las baquetas) facturan un disco lleno de optimismo pese al pesimismo mundial, que habla de la madurez de una banda de rock sin nostalgia, viviendo el presente y haciendo lo que más les gusta. El resultado es ‘Endless Optimism’ (2022), una nueva y explosiva colección de canciones en algún punto entre Dylan y Thin Lizzy que les muestra clásicos y contemporáneos al mismo tiempo, sentimentales pero íntegros, sin pretensiones, y con ganas de disfrutar de la vida en la madurez al ritmo de la música. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

Interview: Liv Kristine - February 2023
After the EP ‘Have Courage Dear Heart’, Gothic Metal singer Liv KRISTINE has her sixth studio album ready to start: ‘River Of Diamonds’ will be released on 21 April 2023. The record was created together with a long-time companion: All tracks were composed by Tommy Olsson (THEATRE OF TRAGEDY, LONG NIGHT) in his Black Rider Records studio in Tau, near LIV KRISTINE’s birthplace Stavanger in Norway. Other people from Liv’s inner circle are also part of the album: ‘Our Immortal Day’ is a duet with singer Østen Bergøy (LONG NIGHT, TRISTANIA). LIV KRISTINE’s sister Carmen Elise Espenæs (SAVN, MIDNATTSOL) can be heard as a duet partner on the track ‘Love Me High’. In addition, Liv’s husband, Michael Espenæs, sings the male vocals on Jon Lord’s work ‘Pictured Within’. The day before Liv left for Cyprus to shoot the video for ‘In Your Blue Eyes’ I had the opportunity to talk to her about the album. Among other things, she told me that ‘River Of Diamonds’ is one of her most personal work so far.
Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: During our last conversation two years ago, which was about the EP ‘Have Courage Dear Heart’, you said a sentence that stuck in my mind: “The way is to be courageous”. Since 2021, you’ve continued on your path, with a new album ready. Has your plan come true? How courageous were you?
Liv: I was very courageous! I moved from Germany to Switzerland, took a new job there and was finally able to finish the production of ‘River Of Diamonds’, together with everyone involved. My last full-length album had already been released nine years ago. If you had asked me back then when my next album would come out, I wouldn’t have even known if there would be another one.
RoD: Is ‘River Of Diamonds’ the expression of a new phase in your life?
Liv: Yes, absolutely. It’s more like a new chapter. I finally feel like I’m in the middle of life and I’ve arrived. I’ve learned a lot, had a lot of experiences, I feel more confident - I don’t have as many fears as I used to. Although I am a very brave person, there were always insecurities. When you are a musician, there are always insecurities, you have to find financial sources, you have to turn your life around again and again. Some of it was a bit of a strain. But between 2021 and the summer of 2022 I thought: now I’m in the middle of life and it feels really good, really free. The past doesn’t matter anymore and it’s so nice to be in the here and now! When you have this feeling, then you are living. I always give that to my singing students.
RoD: As you just mentioned, you also give masterclasses in singing. How important is it for you to pass on your talent and passion?
Liv: Very important. I teach people working with the inner voice and the outer voice. Finding the inner voice is very important, that was also my path. I try to pass that on as well. We need many authentic voices!
RoD: You used to be part of bands, for example THEATRE OF TRAGEDY or LEAVES’ EYES, from which there was an unpleasant split in 2016. Do you feel freer now as a solo singer than before as singer of a band?
Liv: I still work together with Tommy Olsson, who was also a member of THEATRE OF TRAGEDY. Of course, it’s easier as a duo than in a team with about five people and a big management and all the people who also have something to say. It’s great to have a big team, but now I also found it nice to pull back with Tommy’s songs. Tommy is also someone who takes his time, there is no rush with him. We both made this album together and that felt really good. More peace and more freedom, yes.
RoD: As you just told me, the album was made in close collaboration with your long-time friend and fellow musician Tommy Olsson. How important was this collaboration for the record?
Liv: Tommy is so patient, he sent me new compositions back in 2015 after he left THEATRE OF TRAGEDY. I was still busy with other things then and he just said: let me know when you’re ready. And that was nine years ago now. He has this patience that is very important for me. Besides, we are both equally perfectionistic. That’s why I don’t have to explain much, we mostly agree, it’s super cool to work with him. And I love his songs, I love his music.
RoD: The album also features your sister Carmen Elise Espenæs and your husband Michael. Does that make it even more personal?
Liv: Yes, definitely. The song ‘Pictured Within’, which features Michael, is about our loved ones who are there and also those who are no longer there. Last year, unfortunately, Michael’s father passed away and the song was just right for him.
RoD: Is ‘River Of Diamonds’ your most personal album so far?
Liv: Yes. Since the album ‘Aégis’ with THEATRE OF TRAGEDY definitely. I would also like to mention the album ‘Lovelorn’ with LEAVES’ EYES, that was also like my own baby. And in fact, my son was born exactly when the last note was sung - that was of course also a very personal connection.
RoD: Do you have a favourite song on the new album?
Liv: I really can’t decide! Because I had enough time to do everything one hundred percent the way I had imagined it, everything just fits. I haven’t decided on a song yet!
RoD: The album features a cover version of CYNDI LAUPER’s hit ‘True Colors’. What does the song mean to you? Why did you choose it?
Liv: Because I had to find my true colours myself little by little and find my authentic self. I let go of everything and found my inner self. And I have a lot of friends from the bisexual scene who come to my regular concerts in Nagold, for example. It’s a very colourful community, especially in Nagold, who come from all over the world and show their true colours. That’s courageous and I feel honoured to have such fans. And I love CYNDI LAUPER’s music, she has always been a brave woman too!
RoD: Which artists have influenced you in your career so far?
Liv: Agnetha and Anni-Frid from ABBA - because of their great harmonies - as well as OZZY OSBOURNE and BLACK SABBATH. My parents listened to a lot of BLACK SABBATH at home, which influenced me. I only discovered pop music later.
Rod: What does music mean to you?
Liv: Being authentic. Being blessed. Feelings of happiness. And healing. I always knew I was going to do music. Even though I have another job, music has always been in my life, always in me. I recognise melodies and sequences of notes that trigger something in the heart, that evoke emotions.
RoD: Which artist would you like to collaborate with?
Liv: I think Ozzy is retiring, I heard (laughs). And KATE BUSH, she’s the queen, she’s unique.
RoD: How would you describe your musical style? You are often described as a gothic rock singer, but you also have fans in completely different areas. Where do you see yourself?
Liv: There are so many facets. Definitely Gothic Rock, but also Doom or Metal. But I also have elements from Pop music, I can’t answer that question so clearly (laughs).
RoD: You are performing at the Gothic festival ‘Stella Nomine - the blackest one’ for the second time this year, after the debut in 2021, from 17th to 19th August. What does the Gothic scene mean to you? And the festival in particular?
Liv: For me, Goth is always romantic. It inspired me to read books by writers like Edgar Allan Poe or watch old-fashioned vampire movies. The clothes, the magical tones, the starry night sky, the big feelings - I associate all that with gothic. And Stella Nomine is also a very special festival for me, it’s not too small and not too big, you have eye contact with the audience. It’s so laid-back, so beautiful under the trees, a wonderful atmosphere. I am very happy to be there again this year with my new album.
RoD: What are your other concert plans?
Liv: We play near Stuttgart on the 11th of March, then in Langenthal in Switzerland on 21st April. Then of course at Stella Nomine, and we’re trying to book some gigs for the autumn. In winter, of course, in Nagold again. So, you will definitely see me live at festivals or single concerts!
RoD: Thank you very much for the interview!

metropolitan recontextualizing 01-20
01
metropolitan recontextualizing。这个极其长的标题其实就是之前那个「Urban Reinstall」系列的延伸。我对该系列的写作是非常满意的，至今回顾那些文字都会自我感觉良好——并不容易。那时候我英语还没达到现在这种水准，创造出这个系列名称也是一时兴起，更不要说它的缩写和某都市风服装品牌一致——让我一直很尴尬。不管名字如何改变，它所承载的内核是不会改变的。
02
你英语学得不好，因为它对你而言毫无用处。英语这个学科就是这样，作为一门语言，用得越多就会越好，除此之外别无更好的学习方法。没有英语国家的人跟你交流，他们也不该受此折磨——这种情况下，最好的办法就是去听英文歌，比如Kendrick Lamar的We Cry Together；去看英文的影视作品，比如The Office，或者，像我这种怪人把Friends看个十遍；去朗读英语的书籍，比如Jerry Seinfeld的Is This Anything。天天抱着国产那些破烂电视剧和一心想要毁灭你大脑的抖音，你什么都不会得到。
03
在David Letterman与Jay-Z的对谈中，Jay-Z说，Rapper哪里real了，10个里面9个装——原话我不记得了，意思大概如此——你说real是什么，就是演得最像的最real。
04
问：你最想亲眼目睹什么？
我：超新星在我视线范围内爆炸。
05
评判一个消费场所的好坏，只要看它的卫生间。好的卫生间体现经营者的智慧。
06
根本就没有什么虚拟世界，游戏也好，social network也罢，都是你能感受到的现实。最虚拟的就是我们的过去。我们的回忆，你无法重历，也无法规避错乱与偏差。
07
Inny给我看了一个婚纱摄影场所某总监的朋友圈，该场所叫什么什么VISION。当下我心里一沉，VISION这个词也彻底烂了。我如果也拍婚纱创业，我会很坦诚地叫它postproduction shop或陈漫调色模版二次创作委员会。
08
是Jazz让耳屎会跳舞。
09
我在家里醒来
赞美家里的床垫
料理机把枇杷打成泥
物理形态的改变
消解了食欲

我之前很喜欢Jon Olsson的vlog，我以为自己不会被这种high life所吸引。我想吸引我的也不是那种奢侈的生活方式——如他所呈现的那样。我喜欢他的vlog还是因为他在摩纳哥生活。我运气很好，或者说我也很不幸，到访过摩纳哥这个国家。无论你对金钱抱有怎样的观念，你都应该去摩纳哥转转，你的观念都会被巩固，它可以是你物欲的强心剂，也可以让你彻底放弃执念——不管你怎么努力，似乎能过上这种生活的可能都微乎其微。
11
前几天我做了一个梦，梦到在参观一个场所。梦里的我，注意力似乎都集中于建筑本身。我未曾见过那样的建筑，这也不是我第一次梦到不存在的建筑了。关键是这些梦中的建筑没有任何超现实的地方，设计，选材，景观都非常成熟和符合现实。第二天我和Hynes讲到这个事情，他认为如果梦中的建筑是不曾见过的建筑，那就是做梦的人自己设计的建筑。
12
在补完戏言的OVA之后不禁感叹，最后一集的后日谈部分，商业动画中极其罕见的意识流技法已经被新房昭之用到了极致——就弹幕里所能感受到的，这对观众来说是一种智力的挑战，同时也是导演在挑战观众。
优秀的导演挑战观众，末流导演取悦他们。
13
匠人在任何社会都是一小撮人，在日本密度更高一些的原因，我猜是因为日本国土面积比较小，人又比较多。没必要听罗永浩教派在那瞎吹。
14
春天手部脱皮也���带来一种时令安全感。
15
拥有两个手机号的唯一好处就是，可以自己给自己打电话。
16
我也做过好梦，梦里尽是日式美学，从建筑到软装，从符号到言谈。就像下榻东京Andaz，一整晚在它的走廊中嬉戏。碗物不停散发香气，就像真的能闻到一样。（2017.10.01）
17
与自己探讨还能睡几个小时是一种精神疾病。
18
摄影的绝症：主观的表达仅体现在过于拘泥的构图术中。
19
游泳池有很多问题，它的理想是成为一处海。问题不是存在边界，正如海的边界就是陆地。问题在于月球不控制它们。
20
对待海运内贸的单证操作可不像玩Zookeeper World时那样，单个关卡没拿到星星可以一直重复玩十几遍。单证操作重复两遍就差不多要住院了——this job is not for human。
