Christopher Tignor - The Art Of SurrenderThe Art of Surrender marks a return to life, sown from primal impulses and hard won emotional truths. Unrestrained melodic rapture soars above a relentless kick drum, speaking a need to move, to dance, to love. The music is as ambitious as it's origins are personal. Tignor plays with scale, crafting multi movement epics alongside one minute miniatures. The smallest, most fragile violin gestures, where the finger barely touches the string to extract

The Art of Surrender marks a return to life, sown from primal impulses and hard-won emotional truths. Unrestrained melodic rapture soars above a relentless kick drum, speaking a need to move, to dance, to love. The music is as ambitious as it's origins are personal. Tignor plays with scale, crafting multi-movement epics alongside one-minute miniatures. The smallest, most fragile violin gestures, where the finger barely touches the string to extract natural harmonics exist side by side with angular, exotic melodies, asymmetric rhythms, and rapid-fire string crossings. On this LP, Tignor digs even more deeply into the violin and it's technicolor reimaginings under his electroacoustic treatments. The album title refers to the creative process of letting go of expectations, submitting to the will of the creative process. Following a collapsed relationship that left Tignor alone half-time with his daughter, this period was also one of surrendering to a dark unknown, rebuilding life's basic meanings from passion and creative will. Likewise, Tignor's unwavering approach to live performance embraces the rewards of taking risks: using his custom setup with meticulously controlled violin processing and drum triggered synths, this LP, like it's predecessors, was created without pre-recorded tracks or live looping, allowing bodily gesture to invite audiences into the process of music making. The first single, Ritual of a Thousand Limbs is a reference to the extended solo electro-acoustic instrument Tignor has created, processing his violin through software using pedals that also perform synths, an instrument played with both feet and hands including a kick drum with custom triggering software. Likewise, the title alludes to the 1000 arms and hands of the Avalokiteshvara, a bodhisattva associated with compassion. The song weaves back and forth between this impulse and it's more somatic, lustful urges, a study in the duality of desire and acceptance. The video for the work is a collaboration with girlfriend Rachelle Somma, who's unique, award-winning approach to dance blends pole-dancing with modern forms to create a spellbinding interpretation completely unique to both mediums. Off-Centered Hearts imagines a pas de deux between lovers yearning, like so many, to make their own asymmetrical ways of being fit as one. The work's spellbinding dance contains some of the album's most breathtaking, quietest confessional moments, planting seeds which eventually bloom into a huge, lyrical release driven by processed violin octaves above profound, kick-drum triggered bass. Forms in a Flame, elides multiple scenes together to create the album's largest scale journey, ambitiously blending heartrending synth and violin elligies alongside hyper-rhythmic, dovetailing counterpoint built from Tignor's interactive "mirrored violin" processing. In contrast, the album's one minute closer, Would that I Could is Tignor at his most concise, leaving listeners with a perfect parting prayer, suggesting we discover which, if any, ideals we might consider worthy of surrender.

Good book
Format: Paperback
This is amazing book. So far it's the best finance book I've ever read. I would give it 5 stars but the delivery services was bad for 2 reasons: the book had not protection and the worker did not notify me when leaving the product at home.

Only for real men...
Style: Rough Exfoliation
So much crying here. This is not a luxurious sponge. But if your are a man, this is the hot ticket. Coarse but not like a cheese grater. Holds liquid soap well. Foams well. The elastic strap let's you keep hold of it easily and will reverse over the pad so you can use either side. Leaves your skin pink and fresh... in a manly sort of way. 😉

SELF TANNERS MUST HAVE!!
Style: Rough Exfoliation
This product is perfect for those of us who use self tanners!! For self tanners to work well and not look splotchy one needs well exfoliated skin and this sponge is exactly the right tool for the task! My skin feels so much softer, my self tanner working much better and my body lotion seems to absorb more quickly. These sponges are easy to hold and have a loop to hang from while they dry. Every week when I wash my towels I toss the sponge(s) into a lingerie bag and wash with the towels. I always hang to dry so no idea how they’d handle a dryer. I will never be without these sponges!

If you like it rough (enough)...
Style: Rough Exfoliation
Perhaps a tad rough for some, the Caveem scrubbers are ideal for me- rough, but not cheese-grater-aggressive. I have been using the first of my two pack for almost three months and, beyond a slight "softening" of the surface, it is in perfect shape- no deformation, no open seams, no tears, thin spots, or defects of any kind. It looks and works like near-new. The sponge is a great size for man hands- basically 6" x 4", and is thick enough to hold ample soap and water to cover quite a bit of skin without reloading. The strap is comfortable and sturdy and, perhaps trivial, but the colors are manly without branding with skulls or wrenches or some other compensatory masculine iconography! I am very satisfied and if they ever wear out, I will happily purchase again.
