The British Synth player had chart success in the 1980s with hits like ‘Windpower’, ‘Hyperactive!’ and ‘She Blinded Me With Science’. The Invisible Lighthouse Tour sees Dolby take his latest film project on the road, and present it to audiences as a unique theatrical experience. Combining his music and art in one breath-taking show, the tour will focus on some of the UK’s most historic arthouse cinemas. There is a mysterious island across the water off the East Anglian coast that, during its chequered history, has been an airfield, a military testing ground for experimental weapons and home to the main transmission network for the BBC World Service. On the tip of the island is a beautiful lighthouse. “Since I was a small child, I have fallen asleep, at night, to the soothing periodic flash of the light on my bedroom wall.” – THOMAS DOLBY But, now, it is about to be closed down. TRACY GOSLING PR Like many lighthouses around the world, it’s becoming obsolete as ships adopt satellite navigation. With global warming and beach erosion threatening its very foundations, it’s soon going to be a pile of rubble left to fall into the North Sea.

  • This Binary Universe" CD/DVD Called "The First Major Electronic Work of the New Millennium"
    July 12, 2006 DTS Entertainment Releases Groundbreaking Work by BT; "This Binary Universe" CD/DVD Called "the First Major Electronic Work of the New Millennium" AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2006--DTS Entertainment, the entertainment label of DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI), today announced an August 29th street date for "This Binary Universe," the newest release from legendary musician/composer/producer BT. A groundbreaking two-disc set that is part record, part short film series, the CD/DVD combines seven unique tracks composed in 5.1-channel surround sound fused with stunning animations by some of today's finest computer artists and animators. "This Binary Universe" is a journey of sight and sound, on the artistic and technological cutting edge of both music and animation. Stephen Fortner, Technical Editor at Keyboard Magazine, has called "This Binary Universe" "...fine art that works on many levels, mind-bendingly deep but a pleasure to kick back and just listen to. In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major electronic work of the new millennium. It's that good." "This Binary Universe" unifies the two genres for which BT is most well known: electronic music and film scoring. Varying from lo-fi classical pieces with jazz chord structures to glitch and IDM-influenced micro-rhythmic, introspective, electronic tone poems, BT utilizes hand-designed digital instruments alongside a broad range of analog musical instruments to create a work that defies classification. Additionally, all of the animations have been created in high definition, allowing the album to be shown in cinemas in full resolution with a 5.1-channel soundtrack, as well as providing the option to utilize the content in the next-generation, high-definition optical disc formats Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD.

    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1984 Volume V: American Adolescents in the Public Eye Dance Hype in Video—A Positive or Negative Force? Curriculum Unit 84.05.02 by Jan Johnson Teachers Who Use This Unit Should be Sensitive to the Strict Rules Governing the Copyright Protection of Songs, Lyrics and Music. This unit is designed to explore the fascinating world of M.T.V. Violent, sexual, confusing video messages bombard the tuned in senses 24 hours a day. How are these suggestive verbal, musical and visual communications effecting the fluctuating emotional rhythms of our youth? It will take years of research to begin to find an answer. Video is a whole new concept of advertising. Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard and Subliminal Seduction by Wilson Bryan Key have clued us in to many of the manipulative techniques advertisers have used for years. M.T.V. has left out none in their constant hype to sell new and presently popular rock and roll recordings. “Inside M.T.V.”, an article in Rolling Stone magazine (12/8/83), tells us in great detail what is going on in this fairly new media: The hypnotic quality of regular T.V. programming is multiplied through the carefully planned out structure. Free of any opposing views, M.T.V. directs its propaganda to a generation that was brought up on T.V. and rock and roll. The senses are constantly charged with visual expressions of fantasy and reality that are indistinguishable from each other. Videos and pop music are phenomena that relate extremely well to academic subjects.

  • What Were the Forces That Led to the Rise of New Wave?
    Are We Not New Wave? Modern Pop at the Turn of the 1980s Theo Cateforis http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=152565 The University of Michigan Press, 2011 Q&A with Theo Cateforis, author of Are We Not New Wave? Modern Pop at the Turn of the 1980s New wave emerged at the turn of the 1980s as a pop music movement cast in the image of punk rock's sneering demeanor, yet rendered more accessible and sophisticated. Artists such as the Cars, Devo, the Talking Heads, and the Human League leapt into the Top 40 with a novel sound that broke with the staid rock clichés of the 1970s and pointed the way to a more modern pop style. In Are We Not New Wave? Theo Cateforis provides the first musical and cultural history of the new wave movement, charting its rise out of mid- 1970s punk to its ubiquitous early 1980s MTV presence and downfall in the mid-1980s. The book also explores the meanings behind the music's distinctive traits—its characteristic whiteness and nervousness; its playful irony, electronic melodies, and crossover experimentations. Cateforis traces new wave's modern sensibilities back to the space-age consumer culture of the late 1950s/early 1960s. Theo Cateforis is Assistant Professor of Music History and Cultures in the Fine Arts Department at Syracuse University. His research is in the areas of American Music, Popular Music Studies, and Twentieth-Century Art Music. He was editor of the anthology The Rock History Reader. The University of Michigan Press: What were the forces that led to the rise of new wave? Theo Cateforis: New wave initially circulated as a synonym for the punk rock movement that emerged in the mid-1970s.
