BY BENJAMIN CASSIDY The Berkshire Eagle LENOX — With summer just be-

ginning, few in the Berkshires may want to look ahead to September just yet. But there’s almost never a bad time to hear Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September,” the iconic band’s euphoric hit. On Friday night, the audience at Tanglewood’s Koussevitzky Music Shed can revel in that tune and many others by the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers. Band leader Maurice White died in 2016, but some of the group’s most vital elements remain, including Philip Bailey’s falsetto. Before the Grammy Award-winning vocalist embarked on a solo tour to promote his ﬁrst album in nearly two decades, “Love Will Find a Way,” as well as some EWF dates this summer, The Eagle asked him a handful of questions about EWF’s longevity, his new record and his favorite pastime.

to people, and he stayed in that zone. So now, 40 years later, almost 50 years later, “Shining Star” and “Sing a Song” and “That’s the Way of the World” and “Fantasy,” all these optimistic types of songs with this eclectic mix of genres and a clip of rhythm that’s catchy and dance-able is still making people feel good. So now, it’s no longer a cliche. It’s no longer an idea. Now, it’s become a reality for almost 50 years that his concept or dream of what he wanted to do has come true and has continued to do so.

10th or 11th project. This was self-funded. It was a project that initially started with Chick Corea and Christian McBride and Robert Glasper, a project that was inspired and conceptualized by, actually, my son, my daughter and a young man who works with us in social networking and artistic directing. As it went along, the sum became bigger than its parts ... It was actually sparked by the social and political conditions that we find ourselves in, similar to the ‘60s, and looking for songs that resonated with those struggles. We chose songs from Abbey Lincoln to Marvin Gaye to Curtis Mayfield. Robert Glasper being the face of new jazz, the sound of new jazz, was able to take those songs and co-produced them with me and, as we say, flip them in a certain way. I’m a jazz-lover. I’ve always been, starting from a kid, so that’s the inspiration.”

Do you see any current acts out there that exemplify some of the qualities that you just mentioned, that are as unifying as Earth, Wind & Fire? I mean, no, because I can’t say that — I’m not going to take the credit or give the credit to EWF and just say, ‘Yeah we were just such geniuses or whatever,’ but I think it’s a matter of the times that we were living in. We came out of the turbulent ‘60s. People felt that it was their responsibility to say something, to make a difference in some kind of way. You go from artists from James Brown to The Temptations ... the pop artists, just name ‘em. The music was very reﬂective of the social conditions that we were living in, and there was something said, from the Eagles to whoever, there was something said that reﬂected our feelings, thoughts and desires for what was going on at the time, and those messages became central in the identity of the artists that people came to know and love and respect.

Philip Bailey, along with his band mates of Earth, Wind & Fire, will perform Friday night at Tanglewood.

Will the band be releasing a new album in the coming years? We are in the process of conceptualizing a duet project with various artists, but it’s still on the drawing [room] ﬂoor, so it’s too vague to really talk about.

Let’s talk about something that’s not so vague, then, your new

solo album. This is your ﬁrst one in 17 years. Is that right? Yeah, it is. I’m not counting, but I’ve had 10 solo projects, won a Grammy for one. That was for my gospel record [“Triumph”], of course the huge success of “Chinese Wall” that Phil Collins produced with “Easy Lover” on it, and there’s “Soul on Jazz.” This is my

When you’re on tour, or when you’re not, what are some things you like to do in your down time that aren’t music? I love to play golf, and I came up with a phrase a couple of weeks ago that’s funny. I say, ‘I take it very serious, but it doesn’t take me serious.’ [laughs] So, if you ever use that, you’ve got to give me credit. I’ll trademark it for you. Trademark that for me because that was funny. It just came into my head, like man, I take this game so serious, but it don’t take me that serious.

Why do you think the band’s music has been so enduring and appealing, even to people who weren’t alive when the band formed? I think that it’s primarily because Maurice’s concept in making Earth, Wind & Fire was, and these are his words, “to render a service to humanity.” And I know that in today’s day and time, that sounds very cliche or whatever, it sounds like BS, because that’s not the thought of the day. But [those were] his words, so the lyrics that were written — it wasn’t like that was a constant thought in his mind or in our minds as we wrote lyrics, me and him and several other lyricists, but he just had a parameter in which he wanted to speak

‘TIME-LINK PRESENT’

A truly immersive art installation New work at Installation Space

BY NICOLAS DAVIDOFF The Berkshire Eagle

“Time-Link Present” is made up of “crystalline formations” made in Studio HHH’s lab.

2019 summer

NORTH ADAMS — What if your breath could become a work of art? That concept became the starting point for Studio HHH’s new project, “Time-Link Present.” Vanessa Till Hooper, creative director and founder of the Somerville-based design studio — which specializes in large-scale art installations, interior architecture and the creation of immersive environments — set out to create a data set that could allow us to visualize our own breath. On Thursday, Installation Space — the Eagle Street gallery that focuses on installation art — will showcase the interactive project that took months of research and design to put together. The free exhibit will be on view until Aug. 18.

Sitting in the middle of the large, windowless space is an enormous constellation of crystals, or as Studio HHH likes to call them, “crystalline formations.” Project manager Jessie Klein, an artist by training, created each individual crystal in a lab. “Our method of growing crystals is a secret,” Klein said. “But we grow them in vats with boiling water and over very long periods of time. I had to do a lot of research and experimentation in order to develop these shapes. I’ve been making crystals for around two months now.” Making crystals is one of the many new skills that Studio HHH members had to acquire in order to complete this project. Each crystal that Klein created hangs from a nylon thread that is attached to the ceiling. Al-

Information: 49eaglestreet.com said. “It can become a meditative process, as well.” The front of the room offers a completely different experience. Hooper explained that she wanted to separate the interactive and passive sections, while still conveying a homogeneous message with the entire structure. “The part of the structure that sits on the pedestal is a form of reverence to the traditional display of three dimensional art,” she said. “The interactive section in the back is more irreverent and it offers a new outlook on what art can be.” Yet there is a third part to the installation — a two dimensional projection of the crystal’s shadows on one of the walls. The light reﬂects off of the ﬂoating crystals and onto the wall, each crystal is a unique shape and so

each reﬂection is wildly different. “We see each reﬂection as a being, a word of a fake language that we created” Hooper said. “And so, the wall displays a sort of alphabet made up of all these different shapes. I like to think of it as a vernacular of crystals.” Hooper studied art and architecture, but she has always been fascinated by technology and constantly looks for ways to integrate it into her projects. “I think of my work as architecturally integrated, large-scale art installations,” she said. “But, I am also interested in the technology element in terms of how artwork can become more of an interactive experience and more about the moment that a person is experiencing an immersive environment.”

Hooper enlisted Pamela Hersch to help with the interactive and technological aspect of “Time-Link Present.” Hersch has served as the creative technologist at Studio HHH for over a year. “This is the most detailed projection mapping I have ever done,” Hersch said. “It has been a huge undertaking for me. It’s the most complicated project we’ve ever done.” Hersch took the sensors made by Swedezpot — a Swedish athletic sensor manufacturer — and ﬁgured out a way to use the data they collected to create a proprietary software that Studio HHH could use for the projection mapping. “The combination of all these separate elements makes up a series of messages and perceptions, which we had about art as a whole,” Hooper said. “At the same time, it’s a grounding experience that forces you to be in the moment through the beautiful crystal shapes and the meditation that can occur when you control your breath.”

together, they form a structure that begins on a pedestal at the space’s entrance, arching toward the ceiling before it cascades onto the floor at the back of the room, where the magic happens. There, visitors can sit on three tatami mats surrounding the crystal structure that tumbles onto the floor. They will then be offered a sensor, which wraps securely around their chest to monitor their breath. “As you breathe in, the crystals in front of you are slowly filled with fuchsia, green, orange and blue,” Hooper said. “By the time you reach the climax of your breath, the crystals become fully saturated with color. And then as you fully exhale, the color fades back to completely white.” You can think of it as a game, controlling the intensity and pace of your breath in order to change the colorful projection in front of you. But Hooper believes it also serves a greater purpose. “You become very aware of your breath and mindful of the present moment,” she

Rodrigo y Gabriela’s guitars draw from metal, speak to humanity If you go ...

LENOX — Rodrigo Sanchez and

When: 2:30 p.m. Sunday, June

Gabriela Quintero don’t need their voices to be distinctive. Instead, the Mexican acoustic guitarists better known as Rodrigo y Gabriela use supreme intensity to set their instrumental rock apart. Though it has been two decades since the duo moved to Ireland to spark their careers, the acclaimed musicians’ days busking in Dublin still inform their performances. “We just focused on, ‘Here we are in the street, and this is the only thing we can do right now is play,’” Quintero told The Eagle during a May phone interview. “So, it was this intense focus on to only be present — don’t think about anything that’s five minutes later from [the] performance. ... That was the most incredible lesson in performing.” While the familiar sounds of Josh Groban and James Taylor’s vocals will fill Tanglewood’s Koussevitzky Music Shed days later, Rodrigo y Gabriela will kick off a week filled with popular music at the Lenox institution on the same stage. Beginning at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, June 30, audience members can expect to hear a mix of metal and flamenco, among other genres, in Rodrigo y Gabriela’s sonic landscape. The duo will play tunes off of its latest album, “Mettavolution,” which was released on April 26. A month earlier, the guitarists performed the record’s title track on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” They are currently in the midst of an international tour behind the album, their first full-length in five years. “Mettavolution brings together Rod and Gab’s passionate interest in Buddhism, the history of human evolu-

The 41-minute record has seven tracks, including a 19-minute cover of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” that Quintero said reﬂects the record’s ambition to broadly connect with humanity. Sanchez and Quintero have long been fans of Pink Floyd.

“One of the most amazing bands on the planet,” Quintero said. The guitarists’ inﬂuences encompass a wide range of music. During their teens, Sanchez and Quintero were part of the Mexico City metal scene, playing in a band together. “Metal is the only music that unites the world,” Sanchez told Jordan Levin of the Miami Herald. “In any part of the world there’s a metal

community.” Eventually, Sanchez and Quintero left Mexico City, setting out for the coast, then Ireland. Connections developed during their busking days paid off. They met Damien Rice, who invited them to tour with him. And in 2006, the record “Rodrigo y Gabriela” debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Albums Chart, topping names like Johnny Cash. Early on, Quintero was fo-

cused on generating a beat for the duo. While they aren’t a ﬂamenco act, Quintero looked to that genre to inspire her technique. “It was a way that you can play rhythm and melody at the same time and harmony at the same time because those guys, they can do those things,” Quintero said. She tried to copy their style. In the process, she generated her own. “Since I started to come up with the technique, my role in the band became almost like the bass player and the drummer,” Quintero said. Meanwhile, lead guitarist Sanchez handles the solos. Though Sanchez and Quintero were once in a romantic relationship that ended years ago, their musical chemistry has endured. “We complement each other,” Sanchez said. Over the past decade, the duo has played at the White House and around the world, their sounds resounding in premiere venues such as Royal Albert Hall and Radio City Music Hall. But Quintero and Sanchez aren’t likely to lose their musical devotion anytime soon. They can easily conjure those days on the Dublin streets. “We can always fall back to that,” Quintero said.

BE-A-BETTER GARDENER

Gardening through the lens of a camera The camera sees a garden very differently than the human eye. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my conclusion after working as a garden journalist with photographers for the last 35 years. As a writer, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bothered to take visual images of my outdoor efforts myself. Now, though, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking that I really should start. For I am learning just how helpful to a gardener that can be. One person who has persuaded me of the potential beneďŹ ts of bringing the camera into the garden is Elizabeth GrifďŹ n. A vetThomas Christopher eran photo editor and photographer for publications, such as Esquire magazine, Elizabeth has also been gardening since childhood at her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat in Old Chatham, N.Y. This combination of interests served as a natural steppingstone to the nearby Berkshire Botanical Garden, where she has been consulting on social media, and taking lots of photographs, since spring 2018.

Recently, Elizabeth told me about how the one interest serves the other. In part, she said, she has come to rely on gardening as an antidote for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculous pace of media in New York City.â&#x20AC;? This, though, underlines an important distinction. The tendency of the human eye, Elizabeth explained, hers as well as mine, is to scan, moving back and forth, and only occasionally stopping to focus on some particular detail. This is especially true in our toobusy contemporary life. The camera, however, by its very nature, is detail focused. Looking through it, Elizabeth said, forces her to slow down and be in the moment. It also helps her to look in greater detail and more deeply at a garden. Framing the shots helps to determine what are the best views of a planting, to identify which are the most interesting angles and perspectives. You start editing right away, deciding what you want to include and what you want to leave out, decisions that have an obvious impact on garden design. Looking through a lens, you become absorbed in contrasts and harmonies of colors and textures, the contrasting heights of different plants, the variety in the shades of green. Her own impulse as a gardener, Elizabeth ad-

mits, can be too inclusive. She becomes intrigued by all different sorts of ďŹ&#x201A;owers and tends to just throw them all together in the beds. Thinking about how the camera will see the results has become a useful discipline for achieving a more calculated and visually powerful arrangement. This is deďŹ nitely a technique that would help me to tame my own excesses as a plant collector, to cultivate a simpler, but aesthetically more powerful landscape. Ever since she was little, Elizabeth has been inventing stories about what she sees in the garden. Taking photographs, at least for her, takes her to a similar place. While she is composing a photograph, there is always a dialogue going on inside her head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is the story I want to tell? What is the story I should be telling?â&#x20AC;? These are useful questions for the gardener, too. Above all, a photograph is a recording of light, and looking through a camera can help the gardener to a better understanding of this critical resource.

Lena wants to use her late husband’s life insurance to move her family out of their cramped apartment on Chicago’s South Side.
