E vorba de o artista in plina dezvoltare care vine din Basarabia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MRXnQkQM8eA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MRXnQkQM8eA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A absolvit Academia de Muzică, Teatru şi Arte Plastice din Chişinău. Cântă în română, franceză şi rusă, iar stilul său muzical este un melanj interesant de pop acustic, jazz, soul şi rock contemporan. Recent, artista a scos pe piaţa muzicală primul ei album, intitulat "Om de lut", produs creat într-o perioadă de aproape şapte ani. Omul de lut - care conţine 12 piese - cântă despre drum şi căutări, despre vapoare şi mare, zbor şi avioane, despre flori şi despre dor, despre ochi verzi şi femei. Alexandrina Hristov cântă despre viaţă...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jurnalul Naţional: Ştim cu toţii prin ce trece Moldova în momentul de faţă. Cum te afectează evenimentele de acolo?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexandrina Hristov: Doare... e pământul meu, e poporul meu care suferă pe nedrept. E un blestem care se va termina atunci când ne vom da seama că spiritul unit al unei ţări contează mai mult decât naţionalitatea. Poporul meu încearcă să lupte împotriva unui regim inuman, monstruos, care este similar cu cel din trecutul îndepărtat, atunci când rudele noastre, bunicii noştri au fost duşi prin Siberii fără vreun motiv...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ai membri ai familiei care au rămas acolo? Ce veşti ţi-au dat până acum?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deocamdată toţi tac, aşteaptă să se-ntâmple o minune... În oameni a intrat frica... Dar cu toate astea nu a dispărut credinţa. Poporul meu, deşi speriat, mai stă pe poziţie, crede în viitorul liber şi face paşi spre o viaţă mai bună... gândul meu e acolo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Albumul pe care tocmai l-ai lansat, "Om de lut", se distribuie deocamdată în România. Va beneficia el şi de o distribuţie în Republica Moldova?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Îl voi duce şi acasă, bineînţeles... acolo au fost concepute majoritatea cântecelor...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Care sunt sursele inspiraţiei tale în muzica pe care o compui? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iubirea, viaţa, cerul, oamenii adevăraţi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cum se îngemănează muzica ta şi picturile pe care le realizezi?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perfect (zâmbeşte)... Pictura şi muzica sunt mâna stângă şi cea dreaptă, se mângâie una pe alta...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De unde această aplecare spre artă?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la Dumnezeu. Arta este Dumnezeu. Iar talentul este deschiderea către Dumnezeu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;În afară de faptul că ai o voce aparte, acest talent fiindu-ţi deja recunoscut, ieşi în evidenţă şi datorită picturilor pe care le faci. De asemenea, deosebite. De ce în tablourile tale apar, cel mai adesea, figuri de fete?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accentuez, totuşi, ochii. Ochii sunt punctul forte al expresiei. Iar fetele sunt frumoase, îmi place să le pun hăinuţe, inele pe degete, cercei, pălărioare-n cap... (zâmbeşte). Fetiţele, în copilărie, se joacă cu păpuşi, când cresc mari şi devin mame se joacă cu copiii. Uite, fetiţele din picturile mele sunt copiii mei, cărora le dau viaţă, zâmbet şi sclipire în ochi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Care este, pe scurt, povestea de viaţă a Alexandrinei Hristov?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copilărie fericită, adolescenţă rebelă. În prezent: femeie, mamă, fiinţă fericită.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cum ai reuşit să te faci cunoscută pe piaţa muzicală din România? Ţi-a fost greu... Ţi-a fost uşor...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cred că fiecare, dacă are ceva de zis şi o spune sincer, ajunge să fie ascultat. Trăim în era internetului, care e o modalitate facilă de a cunoaşte multe lucruri noi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arta a fost sau este un mijloc de existenţă pentru tine?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arta este viaţa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cum te alintă părinţii?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sandrinuţa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ai o fetiţă. Cum îţi percepe ea muzica? Îţi dă sfaturi? Te critică?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fetiţa mea este solistă în cor. A făcut un an de violoncel. Modelează şi pictează. Părerea ei întotdeauna contează pentru mine... Copiii simt totul foarte bine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Care este în momentul de faţă realizarea către care tinzi...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Să-mi trăiesc viaţa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un articol via &lt;a href="http://www.jurnalul.ro"&gt;jurnalul.ro&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7682660702132228720-4400079584234755798?l=diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com/feeds/4400079584234755798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com/2009/04/alexandrina-hristov-o-artista-originara.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7682660702132228720/posts/default/4400079584234755798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7682660702132228720/posts/default/4400079584234755798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com/2009/04/alexandrina-hristov-o-artista-originara.html' title='Alexandrina Hristov, o artista originara din Basarabia'/><author><name>calinsipaul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496673481829244498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682660702132228720.post-115885863971159435</id><published>2009-04-17T03:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-17T03:01:44.073-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='De stiut'/><title type='text'>World Digital Library</title><content type='html'>The World Digital Library will make available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from cultures around the world, including manuscripts, maps, rare books, musical scores, recordings, films, prints, photographs, architectural drawings, and other significant cultural materials.

That’s why he’s releasing The Wisdom Project, a one-hour documentary film and companion book that share the collective experiences of 51 luminaries over age 65, including authors, artists, and world leaders from Willie Nelson to Nelson Mandela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired by the ancient African concept of ubuntu, which emphasizes human connectedness—I am what I am because of who we all are—Zuckerman set out to gather and communicate the lessons his extraordinary subjects have learned about love, work, the environment, and conflict resolution. “We live in a confusing and fast-changing world,” says the filmmaker. “It’s a great time to look to our elders, to see what they have to say that can help us.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a grueling production schedule and interviews conducted around the world, Zuckerman and his team needed the right tools to help bring everything together. An all-Mac studio and a fleet of Mac laptops on the road allowed them to plan, capture, review, and produce the project’s video and still images, and communicate easily with one another from New York to Los Angeles, Sydney, London, and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because Zuckerman and his team all had the same Mac equipment, trading materials back and forth was seamless. The tight integration also meant that when Zuckerman returned to New York to begin the real editing, there were no surprises. “Final Cut Studio and the other Mac tools gave us a kind of insurance policy,” he says. “We knew we had what we needed to create the look I wanted in the final piece.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie"

Story of Stuff?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.&lt;br /&gt;The video below is just an intro of the full movie. To see the whole 20min of it click the picture above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="295" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OqZMTY4V7Ts&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OqZMTY4V7Ts&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7682660702132228720-5672197713468814991?l=diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com/feeds/5672197713468814991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com/2009/03/story-of-stuff.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7682660702132228720/posts/default/5672197713468814991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7682660702132228720/posts/default/5672197713468814991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://diversitatesimintidestupate.blogspot.com/2009/03/story-of-stuff.html' title='The Story of Stuff'/><author><name>calinsipaul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11496673481829244498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Pyr7dFDAwQ8/ScqiysolRxI/AAAAAAAADb4/JU1bvh1YthU/s72-c/217x188_SoS_Banner001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
