Ansys und PTC: Discovery Live wird in Creo integriert

Ansys und PTC arbeiten schon länger zusammen, so präsentierte man im letzten Jahr eine Integration von Ansys Twin Builder mit der ThingWorx-IoT-Plattform. Letzte Woche auf der LiveWorx in Boston zeigte PTC nun eine weitere Zusammenarbeit der beiden Unternehmen: Ansys und PTC integrieren die Echtzeit-Simulation Ansys Discovery Live mit Creo. Die kombinierte Lösung wird von PTC als Teil der…

Last one!  (Again, the whole show is here.)

The finale would be pure sloppy release were "Atarashii Bunmei-kaika" not so damned catchy and unfuckwithable.  The cross-cultural vomit of the costumes -- pastel Native American headdress over peach wig? graffiti'd dress? toreador costume? skeleton t? creepy variant on a Hawaiian shirt? -- and the swirling confetti and the energy of the thing makes the performance feel like all time and space is collapsing into one dense, hyperactive three-minute single.  It's pep rally as punctuation, it's proof that Shiina Ringo Always Wins the Universe.

"Denki no Nai Machi"

Shiina Ringo will sing and strum on one leg for half a song just so she can bring her foot down at a dramatic moment.

"Zettaichi tai Soutaichi"

Love the bridge, how her voice opens up, the sudden flirtation with psychedelia.

This song is about its guitars, and as intricately interlocked as their parts are they never relinquish ferocity.  On one level it's a giggle that Shiina's instrument gets locked at a fixed angle and that she seems to do so little with it.  But she is all presence and narrative.  While the boys are humping their toys around their stations, she's steadfast and sure at toying with hers.  The way she makes it wait, the way she drags her pick over the strings and then holds it out to the camera, the way she finally brings it past the edge of the stage just so she chuck the pick away.  Tension-release, attention-denial.

Seriously, what is that thing on her head?

I like this song a lot.  Shiina's always been able to craft soaring pop choruses, and the lock-step one in "Kinjirareta Asobi" is there to reassure you after the melody of the verse falls through nothing but fill notes.  Instead of soft-loud-soft, she goes air-land-air.  I love those fill notes, how random and right they sound.

What's this song about?  It's about how Shiina touches her neck, about how she leans into the mic stand, about that final, punishing stare.

"Himitsu"

The rapping and the unfortunate broken English ("Is Your Guitar?") don't disappoint me as much as the rhythm section jam that's only there so Ukigomo can get back to his instrument.

Shiina's stage presence is usually one of absolute control -- every glance, step, hand gesture, skirt grab feels premeditated and perfectly placed -- that it is so satsifying when she allows herself to break character.  When a wig hair is out of place it can be exhilarating, disturbing.  Tempting to think the smile during the guitar solo (at 3:13) is a candid moment, but I think she just uses the break to adopt the role of "fan."

"Tengoku e yokoso."  Plop plop fizz fizz.

Today we'll be treating ourselves to clips from Tokyo Jihen's Discovery Live DVD.  Save yourself some pause and bring yourself some joy by going here and pressing "Play All."  Worth it for the costume changes alone -- when that scrim comes up, Shiina's first outfit's got some sort of horned headdress (not the infamous antlers) and minskirt/train combo -- it's a sharp (and sometimes rousing, and sometimes ridiculous) show with plenty to see, lots to listen to.
