Greetings

Today I am a bit "under the weather" so to speak. Just returned from the Hospital after having a not very pleasant investigation - but all is well as the results look good. One thing about the British Hospitals is that they do go out of their way to encourage Artists and Photographers to fill any "blank wall space" with a myriad of different photographs and paintings. This ensures that patients and visitors alike always have a pleasant backdrop to view in surroundings that can often be intimidating.

If a local Hospital near you has any of these "blank walls" then why not donate an image or two of your own to brighten up the lives of those who have to spend some time away from their homes. Just contact the Hospital authorities - I am sure they would be pleased to hear from you.

"His gift for picture music is the common thread running through it, his earlier works sounding more like soundtrack music and his later works moving into more ambient realms, though still with a strong sense of imagery" by Phil Derby - Editor & Publisher Electroambient Space. Bruno Sanfilippo has been a musician & producer of contemporary electronic music since 1991. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1965 later and moved to Barcelona, Spain around 2000. Bruno became a Music Professor in the Galvani Conservatory in 1988 and founder of the label ad21music ten years later. His discography consists of the albums: Sons of the light [1991], The New Kingdom [1995], Solemnis [1998] Suite Patagonia [2000] Visualia [2003], Indalo with Max Corbacho [2004], ad Libitum [2004], Anthology 1991-2004 [2005], InTRO [2006], Piano Textures [May 2007] Through his contemplative music the intention is to transmit something other than emotional stimulus or simple entertainment. It obsesses itself with a search through different things - the amazing, the magical and the deep. In dreams, there's no imagined thing that's too absurd, too strange - Bruno Sanfilippo's music comes from that inexhaustible and shameless source.

FotoFestival Naarden Festival-OFF 2007 The festival will take place from the 17th. of may till the 10th. of june 2007.

History The Festival-OFF actually already exists since the second photofestival in the fortified city of Naarden back in 1991. At the time the members of 'Delta-F' had their exhibition behind a shop-window at the Marktstraat (Market Street). They called their exhibition 'Festival-OFF'. So that is actually what it is. The Festival-OFF is the collection of all photographers, professionals as well as amateurs who started their own exhibition, at their own risk and expenses. They even manage to find exhibtion space each Festival. Some of them do succeed in getting some private sponsoring for framing and printing. The exhibition space is mainly provided by the residents, shops, bars and restaurants of Naarden-Vesting. Any shop-window, shed or garage will do. Some of the exhibitions are outside (Weather proof) or in tents, caravans etc. The name 'Festival-OFF' is 'stolen' from the famous French festival in Arles. It took until the 4th festival in 1995 when photographer Eddy van Wessel tried to get all the photographers to work together to get more publicity for the Festival-OFF. This resulted in a folder with city plan which contained all the information about the exhibitions. Because of the participating photographers and the cooperation of the citizens of Naarden, the trade and industry and the board of the Fotofestival Naarden (FFN) it became a success. So we had to do it better in 1997. We asked advertising company 'CSO Marketing Communicatie' to help us out. And they did. From now on we had sponsoring, a very professional folder, posters, press releases, promotion material at the exhibition sites and not in the last place a lot of very good ideas. We are convinced this co-operation will be very successful again in 2007.

The academy was formally established in 1933. It was initially located in a room loaned by the Indian Museum, and the annual exhibitions used to take place in the adjoining verandah. In the 1950s, thanks to the efforts of Lady Ranoo Mookerjee and patronage by B.C. Roy, Chief Minister of West Bengal, as well as Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India, the academy was shifted to a much larger space in the Cathedral Road, beside St. Paul's Cathedral, the present location.
