Skupinu Pink Floyd opustil po dlouhotrvajících um ěleckých neshodách Roger Waters. Člov ěk, který stál u samotného zrodu kapely a bezmála patnáct let se významnou m ěrou podílel na její kreativit ě, byl v hloubi duše p řesv ědčen, že skupina jako celek je um ělecky vy čerpaná a m ěla by proto svoji činnost ukon čit. P ředzv ěstí k tomuto kroku bylo album The Final Cut , jeho poslední práce pro Pink Floyd, které tematicky zkompiloval již výhradn ě ze svého materiálu. Vzr ůstající rozpory s ostatními členy skupiny vedly Rogera Waterse k rozhodnutí odejít, dále pokra čovat v tvorb ě jako sólový um ělec a p ředevším zabránit svým bývalým koleg ům v používání slavného jména, aby nemohlo být zneuct ěno. Spor m ěl dohru u soudu, který k překvapení Rogera Waterse, iniciátora procesu, p řiřknul jméno Pink Floyd Davidu Gilmourovi a Nicku Masonovi. Přínos sólové tv ůrčí činnosti Rogera Waterse, který i ve svém pokro čilém v ěku je stále aktivní a p ředevším aktuální, pln ě docení pravd ěpodobn ě až budoucnost. Navzdory velkému množství jeho neutuchajících aktivit, a ť už skladatelských, koncertních, politických či charitativních, z ůstane jeho osobnost v širokém pov ědomí lidí a hudebních médií pravd ěpodobn ě však navždy spjata s fenoménem Pink Floyd. Většina dostupné literatury a pramen ů, zejména v českých p řekladech, je orientována p ředevším na skupinu Pink Floyd. Dlouhotrvající sólové karié ře Rogera Waterse se česká hudební literatura v ěnuje pouze formou publicistických statí uve řej ňovaných v odborných hudebních časopisech a internetových zdrojích, zejména www.pinkfloyd.cz. Krom ě nich jsou dostupné také informace ze zahrani ční literatury, nap říklad z prací Vernona Fitche, Milese a Andyho Mabbettových a Johna Harrise. Autorem nejnov ější knižní publikace z roku 2005 ( česky Pink Floyd , 2007), zabývající se historií Pink Floyd, „Inside Out – A Personal History of Pink Floyd“ , je bubeník Pink Floyd Nick Mason, jehož osobní pohled na historii skupiny je sice napsaný velmi poutav ě, ale postrádá odborná hlediska. Z česky psané specializované literatury je k dispozici po stránce odbornosti dosud nep řekonaná kniha Nicholase 5 Schaffnera, „A Saucerful of Secrets – The Pink Floyd Odyssey“ z roku 1991 ( česky Odysea zvaná Pink Floyd , 1994). Osu práce tvo ří podrobný rozbor tvorby Rogera Waterse po jeho odchodu od skupiny Pink Floyd. Nejedná se však o pouhou biografii a historii jeho sólové kariéry. Tuto významnou, avšak mén ě známou část jeho životního díla, nezatíženého fenoménem Pink Floyd, podrobím p římému srovnání s jeho um ěleckým vkladem jako člena skupiny a následn ě s alby A Momentary Lapse of Reason a The Division Bell , jejichž autorem je p ředevším David Gilmour. Ta byla sice vydána pod jménem Pink Floyd, ovšem již bez p řítomnosti Rogera Waterse. Odkaz skupiny Pink Floyd spadá do oblasti nonartificiální hudby. P řesto však v kontextu hudby, co není „vážná“, díky svým antiglobálním, spole čenským a psychologickým sd ělením v básnicky hodnotných textech, a d ůstojným a originálním melodiím, dosáhl vyšší úrovn ě, než jaká je v této hudební kategorii obvyklá. V jistých ohledech tedy zcela p řekra čuje hranice žánru, b ěžn ě ozna čovaného jako populární hudba. Možná i proto se již zhruba od druhé poloviny 70. let 20. století v odborných kruzích neustále řeší problém, zda pro výslednou podobu díla skupiny Pink Floyd byl d ůležit ější um ělecký p řínos Davida Gilmoura nebo Rogera Waterse. Spor nabral na obrátkách práv ě Watersovým odchodem a následným soudním procesem o zna čku Pink Floyd a p řetrvává prakticky až do dnešních dn ů. Moje studie se snaží nalézt řešení tohoto problému, stejn ě jako odpov ědi na otázku, zda existence Pink Floyd bez Rogera Waterse

  • “The Dark Side of the Moon”—Pink Floyd (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay By: Daniel Levitin (Guest Post)*
    “The Dark Side of the Moon”—Pink Floyd (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by: Daniel Levitin (guest post)* Dark Side of the Moon Angst. Greed. Alienation. Questioning one's own sanity. Weird time signatures. Experimental sounds. In 1973, Pink Floyd was a somewhat known progressive rock band, but it was this, their ninth album, that catapulted them into world class rock-star status. “The Dark Side of the Moon” spent an astonishing 14 years on the “Billboard” album charts, and sold an estimated 45 million copies. It is a work of outstanding artistry, skill, and craftsmanship that is popular in its reach and experimental in its grasp. An engineering masterpiece, the album received a Grammy nomination for best engineered non-classical recording, based on beautifully captured instrumental tones and a warm, lush soundscape. Engineer Alan Parsons and Mixing Supervisor Chris Thomas, who had worked extensively with The Beatles (the LP was mastered by engineer Wally Traugott), introduced a level of sonic beauty and clarity to the album that propelled the music off of any sound system to become an all- encompassing, immersive experience. In his 1973 review, Lloyd Grossman wrote in “Rolling Stone” magazine that Pink Floyd’s members comprised “preeminent techno-rockers: four musicians with a command of electronic instruments who wield an arsenal of sound effects with authority and finesse.” The used their command to create a work that introduced several generations of listeners to art-rock and to elements of 1950s cool jazz. Some reharmonization of chords (as on “Breathe”) was inspired by Miles Davis, explained keyboardist Rick Wright.

Not only did he modernize women’s closets—most importantly introducing pants as essentials—but his extraordinary eye and technique allowed every shape and size to wear his clothes. “My job is to work for women,” he said. “Not only mannequins, beautiful women, or rich women. But all women.” True, he dressed the swans, as Truman Capote called the rarefied group of glamorous socialites such as Marella Agnelli and Nan Kempner, and the stars, such as Lauren Bacall and Catherine Deneuve, but he also gave tremendous happiness to his unknown clients across the world. Whatever the occasion, there was always a sense of being able to “count on Yves.” It was small wonder that British Vogue often called him “The Saint” because in his 40-year career women felt protected and almost blessed wearing his designs.

  • 2021 Book Club 2021
    Reading List + Program Details GRIFFITH CITY LIBRARY 2021 BOOK CLUB 2021 A Theatre for Dreamers Polly Samson GENERAL FICTION 1960. The world is dancing on the edge of revolution, and nowhere more so than on the Greek island of Hydra, where a circle of poets, painters and musicians live tangled lives, ruled by the writers Charmian Clift and George Johnston, troubled king and queen of bohemia. Forming within this circle is a triangle: its points the magnetic, destructive writer Axel Jensen, his dazzling wife Marianne Ihlen, and a young Canadian poet named Leonard Cohen. Into their midst arrives teenage Erica, with little more than a bundle of blank notebooks and her grief for her mother. Settling on the periphery of this circle, she watches, entranced and disquieted, as a paradise unravels. Burning with the heat and light of Greece, A Theatre for Dreamers is a spellbinding novel about utopian dreams and innocence lost – and the wars waged between men and women on the battlegrounds of genius. A Room Made of Leaves Kate Grenville HISTORICAL FICTION What if Elizabeth Macarthur - wife of the notorious John Macarthur, wool baron in early Sydney - had written a shockingly frank secret memoir? In her introduction Kate Grenville tells, tongue firmly in cheek, of discovering a long-hidden box containing that memoir. What follows is a playful dance of possibilities between the real and the invented. Grenville's Elizabeth Macarthur is a passionate woman managing her complicated life - marriage to a ruthless bully, the impulses of her own heart, the search for power in a society that gave her none - with spirit, cunning and sly wit.

  • PINK FLOYD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS - the Endless River, Release Date 10 November
    2014-09-22 16:05 CEST PINK FLOYD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS - The Endless River, release date 10 november. Details about The Endless River, the new Pink Floyd album from David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, were revealed today as the album artwork appeared on buildings in ten international cities, including an eight metre lit installation on London’s South Bank. The album will be released on Parlophone on 10 November and is produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson. David Gilmour said: “The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions. We listened to over 20 hours of the three of us playing together and selected the music we wanted to work on for the new album. Over the last year we've added new parts, re-recorded others and generally harnessed studio technology to make a 21st century Pink Floyd album. With Rick gone, and with him the chance of ever doing it again, it feels right that these revisited and reworked tracks should be made available as part of our repertoire.” Nick Mason said: “The Endless River is a tribute to Rick. I think this record is a good way of recognizing a lot of what he does and how his playing was at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound. Listening back to the sessions, it really brought home to me what a special player he was.” The Endless River is mainly an instrumental album across ‘four sides’ with one song, ‘Louder Than Words’ with new lyrics by Polly Samson.

  • Pink Floyd Feirer Jubileum Med Nytt Vinylslipp
    Pink Floyd - Division Bell 11-04-2019 15:00 CEST Pink Floyd feirer jubileum med nytt vinylslipp Pink Floyd Records feirer 25-års jubileet til The Division Bell, albumet fra 1994 som har solgt for mange millioner og inneholder den Grammy-vinnende låta "Marooned", med å gi ut en ny versjon. Den vil bli utgitt 7. juni som gjennomsiktig blå vinyl (lik den originale utgivelsen) fra 1994. The Division Bell var det siste studioalbumet som ble spilt inn med bandet: David Gilmour, Nick Mason og Richard Wright. Albumet gikk rett inn på 1. plass Storbritannia, USA, Australia og New Zealand, lå som nr. 1 i fire uker på den amerikanske Billboard-listen og har i dag solgt over 12 millioner eksemplarer. The Division Bell ble spilt inn i Astoria og Britannia Row Studios og majoriteten av tekstene ble skrevet av Polly Samson og David Gilmour. David Gilmour uttalte følgende: “The three of us went into Britannia Row studios, and improvised for two weeks. Playing together and starting from scratch was interesting and exciting, it kick-started the album and the process was very good, it was collaborative and felt more cohesive.” The Division Bell inneholder 11 låter inkludert "A Great Day For Freedom", "Keep Talking" (featuring a sampled Stephen Hawking), "High Hopes", og Pink Floyd’s eneste Grammy-vinnende låt, instrumental-låta "Marooned". En video for "Marooned"ble laget for 20-årsjubileet da man slapp Immersion- utgivelsen av albumet, og har nå blitt sett av over 25 millioner. Denne høyt anerkjente videoen ble produsert Aubrey Powell fra Hipgnosis, filmet i Chernobyl og inneholdt også utrolige bilder fra verdensrommet filmet av NASA.
