Coverscaping: Discovering Album Aesthetics. Museum Tusculanum Press. 2 Abstract The Pomegranate Cycle is a practice-led enquiry consisting of a creative work and an exegesis. This project investigates the potential of self-directed, technologically mediated composition as a means of reconfiguring gender stereotypes within the operatic tradition. This practice confronts two primary stereotypes: the positioning of female performing bodies within narratives of violence and the absence of women from authorial roles that construct and regulate the operatic tradition. The Pomegranate Cycle redresses these stereotypes by presenting a new narrative trajectory of healing for its central character, and by placing the singer inside the role of composer and producer. During the twentieth and early twenty-first century, operatic and classical music institutions have resisted incorporating works of living composers into their repertory.

    Cover Story 18 / 19 Side A Fever Ray Plunge è la rivoluzione sessuale di Karin Dreijer. Difuso lo scorso ottobre, l’album arriva questo mese in formato fisico, assieme a un atteso tour in cui la misteriosa artista svedese del duo The Knife promette di confondere, ancora una volta, le aspettative del pubblico Testo di Giuseppe Zevolli Fotografie di Martin Falck “Nessuno sguardo irrispettoso / Ubriaca e felice, felice in uno spazio sicuro”, mormora la voce robotica di Karjn Dreijer in A Part Of Us, uno dei brani chiave di Plunge, il suo secondo disco a nome Fever Ray. “Una mano nella tua e l’altra stretta in un pugno”, Quest’urgenza di esprimersi è riflessa nell’uso continua. A Part Of Us celebra la sensazione di della voce, per la prima volta in primissimo piano, protezione degli spazi queer, dipinti come delle anni luce dalle cupe distorsioni dell’album del oasi sospese nel tempo, in cui l’espressione della 2009.

  • Flyinglow – Debut Album from Sweden's New Deep Electronica Artist
    Jun 09, 2017 12:17 EDT Flyinglow – Debut Album from Sweden's New Deep Electronica Artist Following the well-received single 'Clockwork' this spring, Flyinglow brings us a fresh, yet classic, deep, Scandinavian electronica sound with today’s self- titled album debut. After The Knife’s iconic Silent Shout album some ten years ago, Scandinavian electronica has become synonymous with the uplifting, pop-infused EDM sound developed by the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and Kygo, but the last few years have seen an increasing number of dark and deep electronic artists come out of the region. Following the release of the single 'Clockwork', Flyinglow now releases his first album. The 7 track electronic debut is a dynamic work of electronica balancing on the thin line between slightly experimental shoegaze and pure pop aesthetic. About Flyinglow Behind the moniker, we find the Swedish Uppsala-based musician Joel Gabrielsson. Joel has a very international backgound. He grew up in Singapore, studied at the School of Movement and Performance in Finland and in 2009 relocated to Ukraine for a couple of years. It was during this time that his interest in composing music started taking a more prominent role. He was particularly interested in electro-acoustic and ambient music, and began to experiment with sounds, textures and electronics in his home studio. The following years were spent fronting the drone-pop band Toys in the Well and performing venues around Europe. After moving back to Sweden, into a small cottage in the countryside, Joel began to develop a new, solo recording project.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.

A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2020 APPROVED: Daryl Farmer, Committee Chair Leonard Kamerling, Committee Member Chris Coffman, Committee Member Rich Carr, Chair Department of English Todd Sherman, Dean College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School Abstract Are you really you? Are your memories true? John “Fig” Newton thinks much the same as you do. But in three separate episodes of his life, he comes to see things are a little more strange and less straightforward than everyone around him has been inured to the point of pretending they are; maybe it's all some kind of bizarre form of torture for someone with the misfortune of assuming they embody a real and actual person. Whatever the case, Fig is sure he can't trust that truth exists, and over the course of his many doomed relationships and professional foibles, he continually strives to find another like him—someone incandescent with rage, and preferably, as insane and beautiful as he. i Extracts “Whose blood do you still thirst for? But sacred philosophy will shackle your success, for whatsoever may be your momentary triumph or the disorder of this anarchy, you will never govern enlightened men.
