# Pascale Criton

Pascale Criton (born 1954) is a French composer of contemporary music, and musicologist. She is particularly known for exploiting very dense microtonal scales such as 1/12 tone or 1/16 and beyond for the particular perception properties they imply.

## Life

Born in 1954 in Paris, Pascale Criton was the daughter of artists Jean Criton and Dominique d'Acher. She had a compositional formation with Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Gérard Grisey and Jean-Etienne Marie. She took part in the Darmstadt Academy in 1980 and 1988, and had an electroacoustic formation (CIRM,1980–82). She also had a computer music training course, IRCAM(1986). Criton became interested into ethnomusicology as well, taking part in the activities of the "Groupe de Recherche sur la Tradition Orale" (Abidjan 1979).
Her works are created in France and abroad: Darmstadt, American Festival of Microtonal Music (New York), Ircam, Radio France, Manca, Today Musics, Midem, Presences, Intermusica, Ars Electronica, Ijsbrecker Institute, Archipelago Festival, Ilkhom XX (Tashkent), Simn (Bucharest).

## Composition

Since the early 80s, she has investigated the microvariability of the sound and she dedicated her instrumental composition to microtonal tuned instruments (pianos, microtonal guitares, strings tuned in 1/4, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16 tone) which it is most of the time associated with diatonic instruments as well as to the Audio synthesis
Her aesthetic and intellectual approach of the music is strongly linked to the thought of philosopher Gilles Deleuze she met in 1987. Pascale Criton takes interest most particularly in the considerations concerning the continuum. In regard to this, her compositional approach lies in going above the natural discontinuity of scales to reach some state of continuity while closing up the continuum thanks to very dense microtonal scales. (very small intervals and very close to each other). And she takes advantage of the very specific properties these microtonal scales have on the ear perception.
The interval of two or three 1/16 tone is very small and is barely recognisable by the ear, but it affects the perception of timbre, rhythm, the feeling of time. Criton takes advantage of this property to create subtle shifting of notes, giving rise to progressive but imperceptible change of musical texture.

Loud is the debut album by German DJ and producer Timo Maas, released in 2002. Maas had previously released albums of other performers' material which he remixed but Loud is his first studio album.

## Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars but other reviews were more mixed. Lunar Magazine's Sean Meddel writes that Maas "gets it mostly right" but Entertainment.ie complains that, except for "Help Me", the album contains "far more perspiration than inspiration" and that the "result is a confusing mix of electronic genres that throws up a few exciting moments but largely fails to set the pulse racing".

## Commercial performance

In the United Kingdom, the album reached number 41 on the UK Albums Chart on 16 March 2002 and three singles from the album hit the UK Singles Chart that same year: "To Get Down" (No. 14), "Shifter" (No. 38), and "Help Me" (No. 65). In the United States, the album peaked at 47 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and seven on the Top Electronic Albums chart. Two songs from the album, "To Get Down" and "Shifter", hit the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

## Music

Several reviewers have noted a distinctive 1980s feel to the music on Loud. The first track, "Help Me", "a '50s sci-fi soundtrack with theremin and horns", features vocals by Kelis and also contains a sample of the title music from The Day the Earth Stood Still, composed by Bernard Hermann. Other guest performers on the album include MC Chickaboo, Martin Bettinghaus, and Finley Quaye.

# Tyska Brinken

Tyska Brinken (Swedish: The German Slope) is a street in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. Extending Kindstugatan past the German Church down to the square Mälartorget, it is crossed by Skomakargatan, Prästgatan, Västerlånggatan, Stora Nygatan, Lilla Nygatan, and Munkbrogatan, while forming a parallel street to Schönfeldts Gränd and Lejonstedts Gränd.

## History

Mentioned as Vattubrinken ("Water Slope") and Skomakarbrinken (Shoemaker's Slope") in the 15th and 16th centuries, the street appears as Tyske Kyrkebrinken in 1612, and finally as Tyska brinken in 1679, and Tyska Brinken in 1880. The street name refers to the proximity of the German Church, and the German parish. The German influence in Stockholm was considerable during the Middle Ages - half of both the population and the members of the City Council were German; the Hanseatic League dominated trade; the wealthiest burghers were Germans; and the German language and culture was present everywhere. German merchants in the city gathered at the Guild of St Gertrud found on the present location of the church. In 1571, King John III sanctioned a German parish and a German graveyard, and by 1638-1642 the Germans had completed the present church. The section west of Stora Nygatan was renamed Jochum Bryggares gränd ("Alley of Jochum Brewer") around 1700 after the German-born master brewer Jochum Ahlstedt (-1680).
Archaeological excavations in the junction of Lilla Nygatan and Tyska Brinken in 1993, exposed the remains of an old city wall and traces of what was initially interpreted as a defensive tower from the 14th century known as Bocktornet ("Buck (He-goat) Tower"). Later investigations however, suggest that this is more likely to be the remains of structures from the defensive system constructed in the 1560s.
As the street forms an extension to Kindstugatan, the first numbers on the eastern end of the street begins with number 20. The Rococo building on Number 20–22, called "Building of the German Church", was created in 1869 when three medieval properties were merged to create a single building. The blind windows reveal the location of the joins. The 1870s building in the corner to 18, Lilla Nygatan, is the design of Albert Törnqvist (1819–1898).
