Diapason Band - Vasco Rossi Tribute Band

🎵VENERDI 14 OTTOBRE 🎵 Live al Doppio Malto la Band: DIAPASONBAND - Vasco Rossi Tribute Band🎙 La Band veronese, è nata nel 1982 come "Diapason", eseguendo un repertorio molto vario che comprendeva musica beat, pop italiana, "west coast", blues e rock. Nel 1984 l'amicizia con Alessandro "Poppa" Pozzato diventa collaborazione musicale e il gruppo prende il nome definitivo di "Diapasonband". Vista la somiglianza fisica e vocale con Vasco Rossi, il cantante fa assumere un'identità precisa alla band, che si specializza nelle canzoni del rocker modenese, ottenendo consensi favorevoli da parte di un pubblico sempre più numeroso. Il successo dei concerti proposti, porta ben presto la Diapasonband ad imporsi tra le più importanti e apprezzate tribute band del centro-nord Italia. Dal 1995 è nata una collaborazione artistica con musicisti legati alla storia di Vasco Rossi: il bassista Claudio "Gallo" Golinelli, il sassofonista Andrea "Cucchia" Innesto, il tastierista Alberto "Lupo" Rocchetti, la cantante Clara Moroni, il trombettista-programmatore Frank Nemola, Diego Spagnoli, artista poliedrico e stimato stage manager, il tastierista Mimmo Camporeale e il batterista Daniele Tedeschi. 🍻Prenota la tua pizza/cena allo 0445 370832 e assisti al concerto dalla prima fila🍻 👉Il coperto è di 3€ e la consumazione è obbligatoria 🔥Il live inizierà alle 22.30🔥 Vi aspettiamo per cantare insieme 💖

AFTER LIVE ------------- SUCCESSIVAMENTE LA SERATA PROSEGUIRA' CON DJ SET DALLE 00.45 CON LA MIGLIORE MUSICA DAGLI ANNI 80' AI GIORNI NOSTRI!

Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs, it is never too early to integrate good design and development practices, quality management and ethics&regulatory considerations in your global strategy. It does not mean you need a certified QMS this week and a TGA registration tomorrow. You may not even need them at all if your product is not regulated. But now is the right time to understand whether you are regulated, and if so, what is the scope of these regulations. It is also the right time to design the next steps of your development and growth in a way that give investors confidence that you are on top of your strategy. Plan and manage not only the technical steps of your value proposition development - but also plan for your commercial, clinical and regulatory pathways

Creative May

on May 3, 2023

Diapason creative - May 2023 The generative and creative AI explosion is here to stay. The prompt to image hype of mid 2022, driven by the likes of Midjourney, was not just a hype after all. It was a first step in a bullet-train race which reached the conversational AI station in late 2022. Now the train has split into a set of gigantic pinball multiballs, causing havoc across all industries.

Welcome to the machine

on April 22, 2023

Welcome to the machine. “Knock - Knock” “Who’s there?” “Me, a human” “Welcome human. What’s your prompt? Think carefully - the few words you say will determine your fate”. I stumbled the other day on promptperfect, a SaaS website that offers to optimize one’s prompt, taking into account the specifics of the various models that could be used. This works, allegedly, for chat-like LLMs, as well as for prompt to image applications.

Diapason creative - 2023 Q1 Newsletter Diapason’s resonances this past quarter After a sold-out concert at Redfern’s iconic 107 venue, Lili Alaska and her band (yours truly included) were lucky to be the first to try out the newly equipped recording studio at the Bondi Pavilion. The same location we opened up with Lindy back in September. Great feel playing with a brand new set of Zildjian cymbals (little known trivia: Zildjian is one of the oldest operating companies in the world).

Arts | elderly wrong-way driver collides with ct state police cruiser on route 8, arts | mötley crüe is coming back to rock ct at mohegan sun arena, eight years after its ‘final tour’.

Legendary metal band Mötley Crüe is returning to Connecticut and ready to rock the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena on Aug. 31, according to a release from Mohegan Sun.

It’s the 1980s metal band’s first show in the state since its “Final Tour” of 2015, though the band regrouped several years ago and did major tours in 2022 and 2023.

Three original members are still with the band, including bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and vocalist Vince Neil. Since 2022, Mötley Crüe’s guitarist has been John 5 (formerly with Rob Zombie’s band), who was brought in following the retirement of founding guitarist Mick Mars.

While the arena is promoting the show as “a night filled with their greatest hits,” it has been reported that Mötley Crüe has recently been working on new recordings. A new album would be the band’s 10th, and their first since “Saints of Los Angeles” in 2008. Some new songs were released as recently as 2019, as part of the soundtrack for “The Dirt,” the popular 2019 Netflix movie about the band based on a bestselling book released in 2001.

Mötley Crüe was formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s and has broken up more than once. A 2014 tour was announced as the band’s last and included an agreement that no member of the band could tour under the name Mötley Crüe after 2015. The final show, on Dec. 31, 2015, was released as a concert film titled “The End.” The so-called “Final Tour” stopped in Connecticut three times in October 2014 and August 2015 at Mohegan Sun Arena, then in October 2015 at Webster Bank Arena (now Total Mortgage Arena) in Bridgeport.

The retirement did not last long, with a reunion tour announced for 2020, though it ended up not happening until 2022 due to continual COVID-related delays. That tour, called The Stadium Tour, did not play Connecticut. Neither did the 2023 World Tour which followed it. The August date at Mohegan Sun will be the first time Mötley Crüe has played the state in over eight years, and the first time since the band’s reunion.

While the recent tours have found Mötley Crüe sharing the bill with other ’80s acts such as Poison, Joan Jett and Def Leppard, the Mohegan Sun announcement doesn’t mention other bands.

Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday at 10 a.m., and at the Mohegan Sun box office starting Saturday. Ticket prices have not yet been released.

Moscow concert hall attack: Why is ISIL targeting Russia?

Deadly attack in Moscow claimed by ISIL affiliate leaves more than 133 people dead and approximately 100 injured.

More than 133 people have been killed and more than 100 others were injured following a brazen attack on concertgoers at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall before a performance by a Soviet-era rock band on Friday.

Assailants dressed in camouflage uniforms opened fire and reportedly threw explosive devices inside the concert venue, which was left in flames with its roof collapsing after the deadly attack.

At least 115 killed, more than 185 injured in attack on moscow concert hall, more than 130 killed in moscow concert hall attack, ‘heinous, cowardly’: world reacts to attack on moscow concert hall, moscow concert hall attack: what do we know so far.

Eleven people had been detained, including four people directly involved in the armed assault, Russia’s Interfax news agency reported on Saturday.

ISIL’s Afghan branch – also known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, ISKP (ISIS-K) – has claimed responsibility for the attack and United States officials have confirmed the authenticity of that claim, according to the Reuters news agency.

Here is what we know about the group and their possible motive for the Moscow attack.

ISIL’s Afghanistan branch

The group remains one of the most active affiliates of ISIL and takes its title from an ancient caliphate in the region that once encompassed areas of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Turkmenistan.

The group emerged from eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 and was made up of breakaway fighters of the Pakistan Taliban and local fighters who pledged allegiance to the late ISIL leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi .

The group has since established a fearsome reputation for acts of brutality.

Murat Aslan, a military analyst and former Turkish army colonel, said ISIL’s Afghanistan affiliate is known for its “radical and tough methodologies”.

“I think their ideology inspires them in terms of selecting targets. First of all, Russia is in Syria and fighting against Daesh [ISIL] like the United States. That means they see such countries as hostile,” Aslan told Al Jazeera.

“They are now in Moscow. Previously they were in Iran, and we will see much more attacks, maybe in other capitals,” he added.

Though its membership in Afghanistan is said to have declined since a peak in about 2018, its fighters still pose one of the greatest threats to the Taliban’s authority in Afghanistan.

Previous attacks by the group

ISKP fighters claimed responsibility for the 2021 attacks outside Kabul airport that left at least 175 civilians dead, killed 13 US soldiers, and many dozens injured.

The ISIL affiliate was previously blamed for carrying out a bloody attack on a maternity ward in Kabul in May 2020 that killed 24 people, including women and infants. In November that same year, the group carried out an attack on Kabul University, killing at least 22 teachers and students.

In September 2022, the group took responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing at the Russian embassy in Kabul.

Last year, Iran blamed the group for two separate attacks on a major shrine in southern Shiraz – the Shah Cheragh – which killed at least 14 people and injured more than 40.

The US claimed that it intercepted communications confirming that the group was preparing to carry out attacks before coordinated suicide bombings in Iran in January this year killed nearly 100 people in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman. ISKP claimed responsibility for the Kerman attacks.

Why is ISIL attacking Russia?

Defence and security analysts say the group has targeted its propaganda at Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent years over the alleged oppression of Muslims by Russia.

“Russian foreign policy has been one big red flag for ISIS [ISIL],” Michael Kugelman, director of the South Asia Institute at the Washington-based Wilson Center told Al Jazeera. “The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Russian actions in Chechnya, Moscow’s close relationships with the Syrian and Iranian governments, and especially the military campaigns that Russia has waged against ISIS fighters in Syria and — through Wagner Group mercenaries – in parts of Africa.”

All of that has meant that Moscow has become a focus of ISKP’s “extensive propaganda war,” said Amira Jadoon, assistant professor at Clemson University in South Carolina and co-author of, The Islamic State in Afghanistan and Pakistan: Strategic Alliances and Rivalries.

“Russia’s engagement in the global fight against ISIS and its affiliates, especially through its military operations in Syria and its efforts to establish connections with the Afghan Taliban – ISIS-K’s rival – marks Russia as a key adversary for ISIS/ISIS-K,” Jadoon told Al Jazeera.

Should the Moscow attack be “definitely attributed” to ISKP, Jadoon said, the group hopes to win support and advance “its goal to evolve into a terrorist organisation with global influence” by demonstrating that it can launch attacks within Russian territory.

“ISK [ISKP] has consistently demonstrated its ambition to evolve into a formidable regional entity … By directing its aggression towards nations such as Iran and Russia, ISK not only confronts regional heavyweights but also underscores its political relevance and operational reach on the global stage,” Jadoon said.

Kabir Taneja, a fellow at the Strategic Studies Programme of the Observer Research Foundation – a think tank based in New Delhi, India – told Al Jazeera that Russia is seen by ISIL and its affiliates as “a crusading power against Muslims”.

“Russia has been a target for ISIS and not just ISKP from the beginning,” Taneja, author of the book, The ISIS Peril, said.

“ISKP attacked [the] Russian embassy in Kabul in 2022, and over the months, Russian security agencies have upped their efforts to clamp down on pro-ISIS ecosystems both in Russia and around its borders, specifically Central Asia and the Caucusus,” he said.

In early March, Russia’s Federal Security Service, better known as the FSB, said it had thwarted an ISIL plan to attack a Moscow synagogue.

“The most compelling current motivation for ISIS-K to attack Russia is the Taliban factor. The Taliban is a bitter rival of ISIS, and ISIS views Russia as a friend of the Taliban,” said Kugelman.

Moscow’s close relations with Israel are also anathema to ISIL’s ideology, Taneja said.

“So this friction is not new ideologically, but is so tactically,” he told Al Jazeera.

There’s another factor, too: Largely away from the world’s attention, the armed group has regrouped into a formidable force after setbacks in Syria and Iran.

“ISKP in Afghanistan has grown in strength significantly … and it’s not just ISKP, ISIS in its original regions of operations, Syria and Iraq, also sees [an] uptick in operational capabilities,” Taneja said. Today, he added, it is “ideologically powerful even if not politically, tactically or strategically … that powerful any more”.

That poses a challenge for a distracted world, he said.

“How to combat this is the big question at a time when big power competition and global geopolitical churn has put counterterrorism on the back burner,” Taneja added.

How has ISIL responded?

ISKP social media channels are “jubilant” following the attack on Moscow, said Abdul Basit, a senior associate fellow at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Singapore.

“They are celebrating the attack,” Basit told Al Jazeera, adding that supporters are “translating and recirculating the responsibility claim” issued by the ISIL-linked Amaq News Agency.

Basit said that ISIL’s method of operations involves amplifying a propaganda campaign in advance of large-scale attacks and this had been observed in recent anti-Russian messaging. Such attacks “add to the credibility” of armed groups, Basit explained, which then “increases the scope of their funding, recruitment and propaganda”.

More attacks are possible in Russia and elsewhere, he added, given the key role that ISIL recruits of Central Asian origin – particularly Tajiks – played when the group held territory in Syria. They have now returned to the Central Asia region and their intent to carry out attacks has now materialised in capability, Basit said.

Previous attacks in Russia

Moscow and other Russian cities have been the targets of previous attacks.

In 2002, Chechen fighters took more than 900 people hostage in a Moscow theatre, the Dubrovka, demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya and an end to Russia’s war on the region.

Russian special forces attacked the theatre to end the standoff and 130 people were killed, most suffocated by a gas used by security forces to leave the Chechen fighters unconscious.

The deadliest attack in Russia was the 2004 Beslan school siege which was carried out by members of a Chechen armed group seeking Chechnya’s independence from Russia. The siege killed 334 people, including 186 children.

Know Theatre and CCM co-produce "The Light Chasers" world premiere

Student actors unite with know theatre professionals in a sci-fi adventure on stage april 5-28.

UC College-Conservatory of Music and Know Theatre of Cincinnati co-produce an epic, world premiere theatrical adventure based on the album "Light Chasers" by indie orchestral-rock band Cloud Cult. Featuring CCM student actors and Know Theatre professionals, The Light Chasers runs April 5-28, 2024 at Know Theatre; tickets on sale now . 

The Light Chasers is the final MainStage production of the Know’s 26th season, as well as the final  show of CCM alum Andrew Hungerford’s (MFA Lighting Design and Technology, ’05) decade-long tenure as Producing Artistic Director of the theatre. This emotional, life-affirming journey to the stars – and to all the life on the far side of loss – was developed by Hungerford alongside Chicago theatre-maker Jess Hutchinson, and is produced in partnership with CCM's BFA Acting program. 

Teenage science whiz Nic is stuck on Earth with her practical mom while her  beloved dreamer of a father is ten years into an improbable mission to the stars. Nic vows to defy what she’s always been told is possible to bridge light years, get a message to her dad, and reunite her family.

CCM student actors make their Know Mainstage debuts in the production: Gabi Adams stars as Nic, with co-stars Staylie Brunner , Nico Graves , Evan Kupersmith , Carson Mehlbauer ,  Cassandra Reeves and Lilia Villaflor .

James Creque plays Nic’s space-explorer father. Creque's previous Know appearances include  Hearts Like Fists (2015), Hundred Days (2015), The Fisherman’s Wife (2016), Mercury (2019), All’s Faire (2021), The Twunny Fo’ (2022) and Bankers (2023).

Montez O. Jenkins-Copeland appears as Mshauri, the teacher guiding Nic and her peers. Jenkins-Copeland  was also seen at the Know in Moby Dick (2014), Girlfriend (2016), Red Bike (2019) and Theatre: A Love Story (2021).

Rounding out the cast in her Know Theatre onstage debut is CCM Instructor  Sarah Summerwell as Chris, Nic’s  down-to-earth mom who’s trying to keep the family together. Sarah has previously served as vocal and dialect coach on shows including Dickless (2023).

The Light Chasers features movement choreography by CCM Instructor L. Lucía Duque,  whose previous work with the Know includes Ensemble and Movement Director for All-One! The Dr. Bronner’s Play (2023).

The Light Chasers is based on the album "Light Chasers" by Minnesota orchestral-indie-folk-rock  band Cloud Cult, fronted by Craig Minowa. Cloud Cult eschews recording with conventional labels, instead independently releasing music via their environmentally-conscious record label Earthology Records. Hailed as one of the Top 10 Green Bands by Rolling Stone, the band’s philosophical lyrics and unique sound has been praised by critics as "insane genius" (Pitchfork) and "an invocation of the lifeforce" (New York Times).

Jess Hutchinson joins Andrew Hungerford to co-direct The Light Chasers . Hutchinson is a  Chicago-based director, dramaturg, educator, and producer whose work has been seen across the country. She was the artistic director of Chicago's New Leaf Theatre from 2007 to 2012 and co-founded groundswell, a new play development company, in 2015; she’s also taught at DePaul University, Northern Illinois University and North Park University.

“This show is a dream project for me, one ten years in the making," Hungerford says. "It encompasses nearly  everything I love about theatre: connection and music and movement and broad and deep collaboration. I’m so grateful to Craig Minowa of Cloud Cult for letting us run with his epic music, to my collaborator Jess Hutchinson, and the whole cast and production team for coming together to make an adventure to remember. We can’t wait to share it with you.”

The Light Chasers runs April 5-28, 2024 at Know Theatre, 1120 Jackson Street in Over-the-Rhine. Tickets are available on the Know Theatre website or  by calling the box office at 513-300-5669.
