Ankoku butoh

(Japanese, literally 'dance of darkness') also called 'Butoh Dance', a avant-garde Japanese dance originated in the 1950s by Tatsumi Hijikata (1928-1986), inspired by Neue Tanz. What has made butoh so significant is that not only has it opposed the rigidly prescribed forms often found in both traditional and modern dance but it has also demanded a philosophical uprooting which categorically refutes all modes of ready-made 'culture', including not just the performing arts of dance, theatre, mime, music, etc. but also literature and other categories. This opposition of prescribed and ready-made culture is sustained not by the the body as a functional object as demanded by society but the body as a living and changing sculpture fashioned by life itself. We refer to this latter body as nikutai, and it is a body that resounds with the desire for individual life, one which encompasses individual history and experience

Anonyma

the Anonyma project aims to remove the limitation of authorship from the process of composing, hearing and performing music. This poses significant technical problems as the suggestion is essentially pointing towards undermining well-accepted commercial practice. However, the mechanisms of ideological association will ultimately and without doubt define the fate of the project. Yet, in the imminent defeat, Anaeresis hopes to be the precursor of and to sow the seeds for similar future creative activity. The composers will be legally bound to remain anonymous. They will, however, be allowed to inform of their status as Anaeresis-published composers. Participants in the Anonyma Project are in fact encouraged to be vocal about their participation, but they are under no circumstances allowed to disclose specific information about the techniques they have used in their piece, or to make any similar suggestions. In the event of their identity being confirmed by themselves, their status will be revoked and their work removed from our catalogues

Anonymous 4

a thirteenth-century English-born man who visited Paris and has left us a commentary on early polyphony. The name 'Anonymous IV' refects the fact that his commentary lies fourth in a collection of anonymous treatises published in the nineteenth century by Coussemaker under the title Scriptorum de musica medii aevi, (1864-1876). 'Anonymous IV' discusses six rhythmic modes, and describes the effect that composers were able to achieve with them. According to his description, Leonin (fl. ca. 1163-90) was an excellent composer of organum who wrote a cycle of organa for the major feasts of the church year, a collection known as the Magnus liber organi

(or Antiochene School) during the pre-Nicene period and that of the Ecumenical Councils, Christian theology centered in Antioch tended to emphasise the literal, historical facts of the life of Jesus Christ over philosophical or allegorical interpretations of Holy Scripture, contrasted with the more mystical and figurative theology coming from Alexandria.
