Jeffrey Ross with his new present (Twitter) Well, that’s one mystery solved. Last week, a painting up for auction at Christie’s grabbed a lot of headlines, namely a nude Bea Arthur portrait. The painting was expected to draw bids between $1.8 million and $2.5 million at the auction, before finally selling for $1,915,750. However, the buyer remained anonymous, at least until today. Comedian Jeffrey Ross broke the news, after receiving the picture as a gift from the buyer. He immediately took to Twitter to thank his benefactor, writing “Biggest surprise of my life. Thank you @jimmykimmel – the most generous guy in the world!” Having been outed, Jimmy Kimmel replied back. “@realjeffreyross Bea is watching over all of us, but especially you,” he wrote . “Amen, brother,” said Ross. ...

Luke Bedford Portrait – review

Purcell Room, London In his latest work, Renewal, British composer Luke Bedford has achieved the rare feat of having written a piece that has everything: dynamism and drive, a singular yet powerfully centred harmonic language, a strong sense of thematic development, an altogether wondrous control of flow and counter-flow, and, above all, moments of transcendent beauty. Composed for mid-sized chamber ensemble, the work unfolds in four sections, each of which opens with a blast of energy that is then absorbed, sustained, and dissipated in different ways. The use of quarter-tones (and harmonics built from them) gives the strings a strikingly unsettled expressivity. It is used to particular effect in the slow introduction; the same material then returns, somewhat transfigured, in an extraordinary final section, when the music's passive grandeur seems to draw its energy solely from the glowing embers of the preceding material. The piece's inexorable drift and eerie soundworld suggest something akin to a music of the spheres, but the music follows no tidy geometric map. If anything, it's redolent of something more like a life cycle of stars, observed from a distance and with an eye to the ineffable flow of energy from matter into its opposite. The piece was well served for its world premiere by the Sinfonietta who, thanks to the animating baton of Sian Edwards , executed the minute adjustments of tempo and timbre with precision and bri ...

Watch Another Green World, a Hypnotic Portrait of Brian Eno (2010)

In September 1975, Brian Eno released his album Another Green World . The following month, the BBC’s acclaimed documentary series Arena first aired, using Another Green World ‘s title track as its theme music. 35 years later, the show finally got around to documenting Eno himself. This 2010 episode, also called Another Green World , captures the “intellectual guru of the rock world” (as a Desert Island Discs DJ calls him) at work in his studio, in conversation with a variety of interlocutors—including journalist Malcolm Gladwell, record producer Steve Lillywhite, and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins—and cycling around the green hills that roll around his neighborhood. Bono from U2, several of whose records Eno produced, calls the man “a mind-expanding drug,” and listening to Eno expound here upon his various ideas about and experiences with art, music, technology, journaling, and his native England, I’d have to agree. The faintly hypnotic tone and pace of the episode — a sensibility not far removed from Eno’s famous “ambient” records like Discreet Music and Music for Airports — might also have something to do with that. We learn about Eno’s school days, his love of singing, his descent from a long line of “postmen with passion,” his getting more girls than Bryan Ferry in their days with Roxy Music, his preference for inconsistent instruments, his history with Catholicism, his enthusiasm for Stafford Beer’s management book B ...
