Longing (Bell Witch Album)
''Longing'' is the debut studio album by the Seattle-based doom metal band Bell Witch, released on November 13, 2012 through Profound Lore Records. The album began Bell Witch's trend of slow, low, and mournful music for which the band would become known. Critical reception ''Longing'' was met with generally positive reviews. Andy O'Connor of ''Pitchfork'' magazine praised the album's haunting, melancholic nature, and highlighted the vocals as particularly effective in evoking a bleak atmosphere. Writing for ''PopMatters'', Craig Hayes said, "''Longing'' highlights just how far we can sink into mires of hopelessness, and the bittersweet beauty we find in such despair. Bell Witch strikes a superb balance between the vulnerability of painful remembrances and stentorian roars of sorrow." ''Metal Injections Cody Davis wrote, "Desmond and Guerra exchange vocals that mix between ghostly bellows and Gregorian-esque clean vocals throughout Longing in addition to bringing utterly leveling ...

Longing (Dusty Springfield Album)

''Chameleon'' is the fifth studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 1993. It is their most musically adventurous release, but also their least commercially successful, and is their last studio album to feature singer Michael Kiske until 2021's self-titled album, as well as their last with original drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. It was Schwichtenberg's last album to be recorded during his lifetime. This was also the last album on EMI Records. Background The album contains four singles: " When The Sinner", "I Don't Wanna Cry No More", "Windmill", and " Step Out of Hell". The album was a failure both critically and commercially, and vocalist Michael Kiske and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg were fired after the subsequent promotional tour. Michael Weikath stated that 'Chameleon' could have been better with a different approach but it was the result of what was there at the time and the intentions they had with it. The band were lambasted with debts of the amount o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Josef Suk (composer)
Josef Suk (4 January 1874 – 29 May 1935) was a Czech composer and violinist. He studied under Antonín Dvořák, whose daughter he married. Biography From a young age, Josef Suk (born in Křečovice, Bohemia) was deeply involved and well trained in music. He learned organ, violin, and piano from his father, Josef Suk Sr., and was trained further in violin by the Czech violinist Antonín Bennewitz. His theory studies were conducted with several other composers including Josef Bohuslav Foerster, Karel Knittl, and Karel Stecker. He later focused his writing on chamber works under the teachings of Hanuš Wihan. Despite extensive musical training, his musical skill was often said to be largely inherited. Though he continued his lessons with Wihan another year after the completion of his schooling, Suk's greatest inspiration came from another of his teachers, Czech composer Antonín Dvořák.Tyrell, Grove. Page 1 Known as one of Dvořák's favorite pupils, Suk also became pers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Longing (emotion)
Desires are states of mind that are expressed by terms like " wanting", "wishing", "longing" or "craving". A great variety of features is commonly associated with desires. They are seen as propositional attitudes towards conceivable states of affairs. They aim to change the world by representing how the world should be, unlike beliefs, which aim to represent how the world actually is. Desires are closely related to agency: they motivate the agent to realize them. For this to be possible, a desire has to be combined with a belief about which action would realize it. Desires present their objects in a favorable light, as something that appears to be good. Their fulfillment is normally experienced as pleasurable in contrast to the negative experience of failing to do so. Conscious desires are usually accompanied by some form of emotional response. While many researchers roughly agree on these general features, there is significant disagreement about how to define desires, i.e. which ...

Cape Longing
Cape Longing () is a rocky cape on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, forming the south end of a large ice-covered promontory which marks the west side of the south entrance to Prince Gustav Channel. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld in 1902, and so named by him because from the position of his winter hut on Snow Hill Island the cape lay in the direction of his "land of longing" which he was anxious to explore. Cape Longing is the tip of Longing Peninsula (), which is long and situated at the northeast end of Nordenskjöld Coast where it separates the Larsen Ice Shelf from the Prince Gustav Ice Shelf. It was roughly charted by Nordenskiöld, and named after the cape by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following British Antarctic Survey geological work in the area in 1987–88. Longing Gap () is a constriction in the promontory north of Cape Longing, where the land narrows to and forms a low isthmus. The gap is ...

Longing (play)
''Longing'' is a 2013 play by the Scottish writer William Boyd, based on the short stories ''My Life'' ("The Story of a Provincial") and " A Visit to Friends" by the Russian author Anton Chekhov. Its premiere production ran at the Hampstead Theatre in London from 28 February to 6 April 2013 (with the press night on 7 March), directed by Nina Raine and starring Tamsin Greig, Iain Glen, John Sessions, Jonathan Bailey, Natasha Little, Eve Ponsonby and Catrin Stewart. Boyd, who was theatre critic for the University of Glasgow in the 1970s and has many actor friends, refers to his ambition to write a play as finally getting "this monkey off my back". Michael Billington, theatre critic for ''The Guardian'', said that the play is "something of a hybrid: neither pure Boyd nor pure Chekhov. But it works because it deals with eternal Russian themes – and because it is performed with rare musical precision". However, Clare Brennan, for ''The Observer ''The Observer'' is a ...

The Longing
''The Longing'' is a 2020 point-and-click adventure game created by the indie developer Studio Seufz. Set in an underground kingdom, it follows the Shade, a creature tasked with watching over a sleeping king for 400 days. The player explores caves, draws pictures, and reads books as they wait out the 400 days in real time. The in-game timer progresses regardless of the player's actions, but moves faster if the Shade performs certain actions such as decorating its home or lighting a fire. Director Anselm Pyta conceived ''The Longing'' after hearing a legend about a king sleeping inside the Barbarossa Cave. Pyta sought to explore feelings of loneliness and empathy in a narrative-driven story while using time as a game mechanic. He was influenced by idle games such as '' Clicker Heroes'' (2014), which he considered flawed because they had repetitive gameplay and lacked endings. Pyta developed ''The Longing'' mostly alone, creating the backgrounds in Photoshop and the characters ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
