    BAM Presents Brazilian Superstar Marisa Monte in Concert, May 1 & 2

    BAM presents Brazilian superstar Marisa Monte in concert, May 1 & 2 SAMBA NOISE Marisa Monte With special guests Arto Lindsay, Seu Jorge, and more TBA BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) May 1 & 2 at 8pm Tickets start at $35 April 8, 2015/Brooklyn, NY—Renowned Brazilian singer/songwriter Marisa Monte makes her BAM debut with two nights of contemporary Brazilian popular music in a show specifically conceived for the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House. The performances feature Monte’s hand-picked band and guest artists. Praised by The New York Times as possessing “one of the most exquisite voices in Brazilian music,” Marisa Monte has been the benchmark for excellence among female singers in Brazil since she burst upon the scene in 1987. As she approaches the 30-year mark of her career, she still commands the same admiration and prestige that greeted her stunning debut. Her 12 CDs and seven DVDs have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and garnered 11 Latin Grammy Award nominations (winning four) and eight Video Music Brazil awards. For her BAM debut, she will perform with artists that are closely associated with her, including American producer/composer Arto Lindsay, Brazilian singer/songwriter/actor Seu Jorge, and others to be announced. About the Artists Born in Rio de Janeiro, the home of samba, Marisa Monte honed her singing skills with operatic training in in Italy. Her work embraces the traditions of MPB (música popular brasileira) and samba within a pop format that is modern and sophisticated. Aside from being a talented composer—she recorded her own work starting with her second album, Mais (EMI-Odeon, 1991), produced by Arto Lindsay—Monte is considered one of the most versatile performers in Brazil.
  • Goodbye 20Th Century: Noise, Modernism, Aesthetics

    Goodbye 20Th Century: Noise, Modernism, Aesthetics

    1 Goodbye 20th Century: Noise, Modernism, Aesthetics Invited paper given at Noisetheorynoise#1, March 6 2004, Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University David Cunningham There is a familiar complaint that, by contrast to our resources for articulating the visual world, our dominant verbal languages lack a similarly rich vocabulary of sound. Yet, despite (or because of) this apparent linguistic ‘lack’, noise as a specific figure of excess – with its accompanying metaphorics of the ‘ear-splitting’, the ‘over- powering’, or even the ‘unlistenable’ - has often seemed particularly liable to provoke a concomitant rhetorical excess on the part of its would-be theorists. Such rhetoric - which continually risks drifting into the utopianist fantasy of a ‘matter’ totally liberated from all formal ‘construction’ – no doubt takes shape, to some crucial degree, through its inevitable relation to the historically-conditioned figure of ‘excess’ itself. (‘Noise’, after all, is one of those disconcerting forms that Burke associates with the category of the Sublime, that canonical philosophical articulation of excess). In this regard, it is not perhaps coincidental that a certain contemporary ‘noise music’ has often been seen to make common cause with a particular discourse of bodily, material ‘transgression’, which has its neat equivalents in both literature and the visual arts. Yet, as the conceptual artists Art & Language argue, in a recent article, ‘it does not follow’ from the perhaps ‘over-intellectualized delibidinized’

    Caetano Veloso by Andy Beta Contributor in the History Books, It Was on March 31St, 1964 That a Military Coup Ousted Brazilian President João Goulart

    Caetano Veloso by Andy Beta Contributor In the history books, it was on March 31st, 1964 that a military coup ousted Brazilian President João Goulart. The U.S.-backed junta overtook all branches of government, ending nearly a century of newfound democracy for the one-time adjunct of the Portuguese empire and subjecting the country to two decades of increasingly repressive military rule. In Caetano Veloso’s 2003 memoir Tropical Truth: A Story of Music & Revolution in Brazil, he is adamant that the date is a lie: The coup actually took place on April Fool’s Day. Four years into the new regime, then-twentysomething Brazilian pop singer Veloso recorded his first solo album. But the first voice you hear on his 1968 self-titled release isn’t that of Veloso, but of Portuguese knight Pêro Vaz de Caminha, credited with discovering Brazil in the year 1500. He wrote a letter to Manuel I, King of Portugal raving about the fertile Brazilian land and how “all that is planted grows and flourishes,” convincing the king that the presumed island was worthy of colonization. Carta de Pero Vaz Caminha is considered the first literary text to emanate from Brazil but it gets parodied in a high nasally voice by Veloso’s drummer Dirceu. Little did the percussionist know that the tapes were running. And when the arranger of the session mimics the “exotic” sounds of the Brazilian rainforest, it points back to that time when Brazil was virgin land, before the empire arrived at her shores. Caetano Veloso’s debut album remains one of the most revolutionary albums released into the worldwide tumult of the 1960s.

  • John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards

    John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards

    John Lurie and The Lounge Lizards John Lurie the sax player, the actor, the painter and the fisherman. Though this might sound like a schizophrenic portrait it's simply the truth. All these different personalities suit in the same physical body. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 14 1952, he's mostly known as the founder of The Lounge Lizards, a modern jazz ensemble featuring a bunch of hipsters of the New York Downtown scene. Along with his brother Evan on piano there were Arto Lindsay (guitar), Anton Fier (drums) and Steve Piccolo (bass). This is the band playing inside “The Lounge Lizards” (EEG, 1981), their first official album, although the band was already active at the end of the seventies. The ensemble underwent a few changes over the years: Arto Lindsay was later replaced by Marc Ribot on guitar and more elements were added until the band expanded into an octet, sometimes even a nonet, maintaining John Lurie in New York, 1982 however their typical unsettling, ironic, often sharp, sound. The Lounge Lizards perfectly embodied the Downtown noir-like atmosphere surrounding the artists in New York at the beginning of the eighties. “No pain for cakes” (Island, 1987), “Voice of Chunk” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1990), “Queen of all ears” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1998) plus a bunch of live recordings followed their self-titled debut release and are the overall output of the band. Not too much of an output considering when the band was formed, but John used the stage to refine, rearrange and shape the tunes over and over.

    A Creator's View of the Music Ecosystem and DMCA

    A Creator’s View of the Music Ecosystem and DMCA Creating music that matters is more than just a labor of love – it takes all the joy, loss, courage, fear, and humanity that we have. But whether it’s a Platinum megahit or a lonely ballad written for just one heart, we are grateful for the chance to share our stories and our truth. We see much to celebrate in today’s music landscape – including vibrant digital services that help fans connect with the songs they love. But we also see profound obstacles facing young artists and songwriters hoping to find their voice and build a sustainable career. One of the biggest hurdles is an outdated and ineffective law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Many big tech companies have figured out how to game this law – hiding behind its sweeping immunities while earning billions off of our work. Meanwhile, too many working artists, musicians, songwriters, and producers are left to fight for digital scraps. Thanks to the DMCA, a single video service has swallowed up almost every other form of listening, while paying among the lowest royalties in the business – rates it extracts from creators who have no effective way to keep unlicensed copies off the service if they refuse. The DMCA leaves creators at the mercy of rogue websites that operate at the farthest reaches of US law – and beyond – and offers no meaningful way to hold repeat offenders to account. And forces us to stand by helpless as billions of dollars in advertising is sold around illegal copies of our work.
