The Long Count at the Barbican
4. Februar 2012
Das samstägliche Kulturprogramm führte uns ins Barbican Centre, einem riesigen endsiebziger Veranstaltungszentrum mit einer eigenartigen, aber durchaus spannenden Atmosphäre. Zu sehen gab es eine leicht bizarre, aber wunderschöne Multimediaperformance der Dessner-Zwillinge in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Videokünstler Matthew Ritchie.
This is what "The Barbican" said: "The National’s twin brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner in collaboration with video artist Matthew Ritchie as a multimedia concert, which explores the ‘time before time’; the indivisible moment before creation is expressed.
Inspired by the ‘hero twins’ of the Mayan creation myth contained in the Popol Vuh – of which the Long Count calendar is an important part – the show presents a mythical song cycle of subtly interweaving guitars, solemn a capella, layered sound structures and scintillating rock.
The Dessners team up with a 12-strong ensemble featuring members of the Heritage Orchestra, surrounded by an impressive installation designed by Ritchie, and singers/performers Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Kelley Deal (The Breeders), plus special guest Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio)."

Recipease


Jamie selbst war nur kurzfristig virtuell vorhanden, ohne persönliche Ansprache, aber er wurde von zwei ambitionierten Köchinnen würdig vertreten, die uns die mexikanische Straßenküche näher bringen durften und eine ganze Menge Tipps für langsames Garen, das Ausnehmen von Garnelen oder das Frittieren von Maisküchlein parat hatten.


Gorditas
Ingredients
250g masa harina (or fine cornmeal)
30g baking powder
20g plain flour
Pinch of salt
300ml hot water
Plain flour for dusting
Oil for frying
Method
Makes approximately 14
Put the masa harina and salt together in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Mix the baking powder into the hot water and pour this into the well.Using a fork, mix the masa harina into the liquid and when it starts to come together use your hands to knead it. Divide the dough into 14 or so equal squash-ball-sized pieces and dust them lightly with flour. Roll each piece around in your hands, then pat and flatten into a small round roughly the size of the base of a wine glass. Put these on an oiled tray, dust with a little flour and put aside until ready to fry. Fry within 1 hour of making.
