Flore Laurentienne's Elegant Minimalism and Bill Horist's Oceanic Guitar Sorcery

Flore Laurentienne's Elegant Minimalism and Bill Horist's Oceanic Guitar Sorcery

By: Dave Segal

A Canadian project led by Mathieu David Gagnon, Flore Laurentienne make electronic-tinged classical music of exquisite sophistication and beauty. Their first two albums— Volume I and Volume II —deal in expansive gestures, with analog synthesizers and strings leading the way. Many of the group's orchestrations evoke the classiest Hollywood soundtrack music and, consequently, they can occasionally feel overwrought and maudlin. But there's no denying the ambition and melodic gracefulness inhabiting Flore Laurentienne 's tracks on these records.

Honolulu Star-Advertiser

Oahu housing market waffled in September as rates dropped Today • Updated 11:17 p.m. The median price for single-family homes rose 6% to $1,112,272 in September from $1,050,000 in the year-earlier period, but sales declined 6.5% to 217 from 232, according to resale data released Sunday by the Honolulu Board of Realtors. Condominium sales dipped 2.8% to $517,500 from $532,500, while sales eased 2.7% to 366 from 376. The median price means half the prices were above and half below the given price. “While overall sales volume in both markets softened in September, we did see positive movement in new listings and active inventory, providing more options for prospective buyers,” Honolulu Board of Realtors President Fran Gendrano said in a statement. “Paired with the gradual decline in mortgage rates, buyers may feel encouraged to enter the housing market in the coming months.” There were 351 new listings in September for single- family homes, up 24.9% from a year ago, and 631 new listings for condos, up 22.3% year over year. Active inventory held steady month over month and shifted less than 1%. But compared with the year-earlier period, inventory skyrocketed 27.5% for single-family homes with 755 active listings and jumped 58% for condos with 1,887 active listings. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage fell for six straight weeks before increasing to 6.12% last week from 6.08% the previous week — its lowest level in two years. A year earlier the rate averaged 7.49%. “In addition to the changes in interest rates, we are also working to understand the influence of rising condo insurance and maintenance costs on the market,” Gendrano said. Bidding wars have abated as only 29% of single-family homes closed above their asking price, compared with 38% in September 2023. Similarly, only 15% of condos closed above their asking price, compared with 20% a year ago.

André 3000 Got Seriously Weird at the Paramount

André 3000 Got Seriously Weird at the Paramount

By: Dave Segal

André 3000's not in the Dirty South anymore, literally or figuratively. The Grammy-winning ATLien rapper moved to LA, lost his urge to rhyme (at least with words), got heavily into flutes, and found some deep jazz cats in his area to augment his epic, enigmatic jams on the surprise 2023 album, New Blue Sun. Nearly a year later, André Lauren Benjamin's taking the spirit of that very un -hip-hop record on a North American tour, which hit the Paramount on Wednesday night.
