The Birth of the Matrix →

No princípio...

Imagine uma rede em que, por alguma mágica fantástica, todos dentro tenderiam a poucos passos detectáveis ​​de todos os outros... na rede e no planeta...

 

Imagine uma rede que seria mais sobre pessoas que você não conhece do que sobre pessoas que você conhece. E ainda mais importante: sobre pessoas que não o conhecem, mas cujas vidas seriam enriquecidas se o conhecessem...

 

Imagine uma rede que incluiria todos na economia criativa global da humanidade...

 

Você está imaginando O Matrix (Rede Online)!

 

 

Esse Matrix baiano foi fundado (com afeto!) numa questão fundamental: Como é possível fazer com que os músicos mais importantes historicamente do Brasil sejam descobertos por pessoas que vivem em qualquer lugar da Terra?

 

A resposta foi incluí-los num matrix no sentido original da palavra: “fonte”, de “mater”, latim para “mãe”...

 

...um matrix que também incluiria membros da economia criativa de todo o mundo: escritores e jornalistas, pintores, cineastas, coreógrafos, programadores de computador, designers de som e cenografia, designers de moda, matemáticos…

 

Por este meio, podemos pessoalmente alcançar profundamente a realidade da economia criativa global que está realmente lá fora: Roberto Mendes de Santo Amaro pode recomendar João do Boi de São Braz. Munir Hossn de Salvador, mas agora morando em Paris, pode recomendar Roberto Mendes. Alfredo Rodriguez de Havana, mas agora morando em Nova York, pode recomendar Munir Hossn. E Quincy Jones de Los Angeles pode recomendar Alfredo Rodriguez. Quem conhece Quincy Jones agora pode descobrir João do Boi (entre os músicos absolutamente mais fundamentais do Brasil) em apenas quatro passos.

 

Este não é um exemplo isolado. Caminhos curtos de apenas alguns passos entre pessoas criativas amplamente díspares são universais em todo o Matrix. Tal é o fantástico poder matemático do fenômeno do pequeno mundo, o fenômeno responsável pelos "seis graus de separação", unindo a maioria dos seres humanos à maioria dos outros em cerca de seis passos. Essa é a superpotência do Matrix baiano.

 

O Matrix baiano está aberta a todos da economia criativa global. Foi construído numa loja de discos no Centro Histórico de Salvador por um americano que trabalhou anteriormente em Nova York recuperando royalties não pagos para artistas como Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens (Yusef Islam), Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Mongo Santamaria, Ray Barretto, o primeiro produtor de Bob Marley, Clement Dodd, o mestre de jazz Jim Hall e outros.

 

Agora o projeto é mostrar ao mundo o que é que a Bahia tem. Ao permitir que todos na economia criativa global também podem estender a mão ao redor do mundo e mostram ao mundo o que é que eles têm.

 

O Matrix é capaz de atingir profundamente... esta é a vila de São Braz, no Recôncavo baiano, criada por escravizados que escaparam para uma liberdade marginal...

 

In the beginning...

Imagine a network wherein by some fantastic magic everybody within would tend to within scant, discoverable steps of everybody else... in the network, and on the planet...

 

Imagine a network that would be more about people you don't know than people you do know. And even more importantly: about people who don't know you but whose lives would be enriched if they did...

 

Imagine a network which would include all in humanity's global creative economy...

 

You are imagining The Matrix (Online Network)!

 

 

This Bahian Matrix was founded (with love!) on a fundamental question: How is it possible to make Brazil’s most historically important musicians discoverable by people living anywhere around the Earth?

 

The answer was to include them in a matrix in the original sense of the word: “source”, from “mater”, Latin for “mother”...

 

...a matrix which would also include members of the creative economy from everywhere else: writers and journalists, painters, filmmakers, choreographers, computer programmers, sound and set designers, fashion designers, mathematicians…

 

By this means we can personally reach deeply into the reality of the global creative economy that is really out there: Roberto Mendes of Santo Amaro can recommend João do Boi of São Braz. Munir Hossn of Salvador but now living in Paris can recommend Roberto Mendes. Alfredo Rodriguez of Havana but now living in New York City can recommend Munir Hossn. And Quincy Jones of Los Angeles can recommend Alfredo Rodriguez. Anybody who knows Quincy Jones can now discover João do Boi (top photo; "John of the Ox" in English, the vastly important Son House of Brazil) in just four steps.

 

This is not an isolated example. Short pathways of just a few steps between widely disparate creative people are universal throughout the Matrix. Such is the fantastic mathematical power of the small world phenomenon, the phenomenon responsible for “six degrees of separation”, joining most human beings to most others within some six or so steps. This is the Bahian Matrix’s superpower.

 

The Bahian Matrix is open to all in the global creative economy. It was built in a record shop in Salvador’s Centro Histórico by an American who formerly worked in New York city retrieving unpaid royalties for artists including Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens (Yusef Islam), Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Mongo Santamaria, Ray Barretto, Bob Marley’s first producer Clement Dodd, jazz great Jim Hall and others.

 

Now the project is to show the world o que é que a Bahia tem (what it is that Bahia has). By letting everybody in the global creative economy likewise reach out across the planet to connect as they wish and show the world what it is that they have too.

 

The Matrix is capable of reaching deeply...this is João's village of São Braz, in the Bahian Recôncavo, created by enslaved who'd escaped to a marginal freedom...

CURATION

  • from this node by: Criador acima/Creator above

This is the Universe of

  • Name: Robert Everest
  • City/Place: Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • Country: United States

Life & Work

  • Bio: Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter/guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Robert Everest has been joyfully exploring the music of the world for over 25 years. Performing an average of 150 shows a year--locally, nationally, and internationally--he has delighted audiences around the globe with his original compositions and his vast repertoire of acoustic world music. His fascination with foreign languages led him through a linguistics degree from the University of MN, which facilitated the development of the multiple languages he brings to his performances. He is particularly fascinated by the incredible variety of musical styles found within Brazil, and organizes and directs the most attended annual Brazilian event in the 5-state area, Carnaval Brasileiro of the Twin Cities. Latin American music makes up the majority of his repertoire, but he also plays music from Southern Europe, singing in Spanish, French, Italian (including different dialects), Portuguese, German, Greek, and of course English. He has been featured on NPR's Talking Volumes alongside Chilean author Isabel Allende at the Fitzgerald Theatre, All Things Considered, promoting his latest solo CD The World on Seven Strings, and The Jazz Image with the late radio legend Leigh Kamman. He has also been interviewed and performed on KBEM's String Theory with Kevin Barnes and KFAI's programs Global Beat and Corazón Latino. Television stations KARE11, WCCO, and KSTP have invited him into the studio for live on-air performances on several occasions.

    Though mostly self-taught, Robert has studied jazz guitar in Minneapolis, Brazilian guitar in California, classical guitar in Portugal, West African guitar in Togo, Flamenco in Spain, Tango in Argentina, and many other Latin American styles of music throughout Central and South America and the Caribbean. He has also studied percussion in Ghana and Brazil. His vocal technique is the result of exposure to dozens of international approaches to voice and several years of instruction, including four years with the University of Minnesota Jazz Singers.

    Robert has recorded two other solo CDs of music from Latin America, Gracias a la Vida and Aquarela Do Brasil, which have received national radio play and taken him to many international tour destinations. He also recorded and co-produced the album Sonho Meu with his Brazilian group, Beira Mar Brasil, which performed regularly in the Twin Cities from 1996 (then under the name "Mocotó Brasil") to 2005, during which time the group was invited to esteemed local venues like the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, the Walker Art Center, and the First Avenue Main Stage, opening for Eddie Palmieri, along the way earning a nomination for Best Latin Band in Minnesota in 1998. The only chance you get to see Beira Mar Brasil these days is when Robert hosts the Brazilian Carnival Celebration each year, usually in February. This event, which features Brazilian guests that Robert flies in especially for this occasion, professional Samba dancers, authentic Brazilian masks, face painting, magic shows, and Brazilian food and drinks, is a must-see for any World Music aficionados.

    With other ensembles or as a solo performer Robert has performed locally at venues like Orchestra Hall and the Fitzgerald Theatre, but most recently has performed a handful of shows in front of a packed house at the Dakota Jazz Club with his World Music ensemble "the Robert Everest Expedition." Among Robert’s international performance venues are the Ono Galerie in Bern, Switzerland, Bar Tempo in Madrid, Spain, The Golden View in Florence, Italy, and Birdland in Budapest, Hungary. His extensive Brazilian repertoire truly came full circle when he was invited to perform in the birthplace of Bossa Nova - Ipanema, Rio De Janeiro - at the prestigious Vinicius Piano Bar.

    Robert has arranging and performing (both guitar and vocal) credits on Connie Evingson’s album The Secret of Christmas, and on Christine Rosholt’s Detour Ahead, both of which have received high acclaim. Other local musicians he has performed with include Lorie Line, Nachito Herrera, Tim Sparks, Estaire Godinez, Doug Little, Viviana Pintado, Becky Schlegel, and Pete Whitman, just to name a few.

Do you  recommend Robert Everest?

Imagine the world's creative economy at your fingertips. Imagine 10 doors side-by-side. Beyond each, 10 more, each opening to a "creative" somewhere around the planet. After passing through 8 such doorways you will have followed 1 pathway out of 100 million possible (2 sets of doorways yield 10 x 10 = 100 pathways). This is a simplified version of the metamathematics that makes it possible to reach anybody in the global creative economy in just a few steps. It doesn't mean that everybody will be reached by everybody. It does mean that everybody can  be reached by everybody.
