Zu einer Zeit in der einige Würzburger Lokale Langhaarige nicht bedienten, schnupperten wir im Proberaum der einheimischen Band BLUES CAMPAIGN an der Welt von Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock'n Roll. Blues Campaign waren unsere Helden, ihre Musik zog uns magisch an, und so versuchten wir in jedes ihrer Konzerte zu kommen. Vermutlich bin ich auch bei ihrem letzten, anno 1970, Ohren- und Augenzeuge gewesen. Roman Bunka (Gitarre, später Embryo, Dein Kopf ist ein schlafendes Auto und nun einer der gefragtesten Oudspieler weltweit), Norbert Dömling (Bass, später Missus Beastly und mit diversen Jazzern unterwegs), Klaus Götzner (Schlagzeug und meistens mit Antolinis Drumbeat unter dem Arm, später funky bei Ton Steine Scherben) und Jürgen Benz (Saxophon und Flöte, später Missus Beastly, Munju) begannen als Coverband (Bunka und Dömling erklärten mir damit, warum sie Blues Campaign in ihren Biographien nicht erwähnen). Unvergessen sind ihre Versionen von 'Season of the Witch' oder 'Dear Mr Fan- tasy' in Anlehnung an Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills "Supersession". Aber die Band improvi- sierte schon damals auf hohem Niveau. Mit dem Besuch von Missus Beastly 1970 wurde die Improvisation dann in anderen Konstellationen weiterverfolgt und Blues Campaign schließlich aufgelöst. Und jetzt, sage und schreibe 49 Jahre später, trafen sich die vier wieder, am 30.11.2019 im Würzburger Omnibus [dessen Kellergewölbe über sage und schreibe 50 (!) Jahre hinweg gezittert und gebebt hat vor Champion Jack Dupree, Dollar Brand, Albert Mangelsdorf, Om, Michal Urbaniak oder Yōsuke Yamashita... bis zu Arthur Brown, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, Little Women und Doctor Umezu]. Um in sichtlicher Wiedersehensfreude, bester Spiellaune und noch besser als damals einen Abend lang ausgiebig zu improvisieren („Wir haben keine Stücke eingeübt“). Ein Stück spielten sie in Urbesetzung, dann mischten weitere Musiker aus der Würzburger Musikszene mit: Mitinitiator Georg Kolb (Bass - Elastic Rock Band, Aera, Venice), schon damals gerne (am Rand) dabei – hatten sie ihm diesmal das Mikro abgedreht? - , Lutz Oldemeier (Schlagzeug - Missus Beastly & Aera), Art Zen (Gitarre - Missus Beastly, Embryo), Alex Grünwald (Keyboards - Elastic Rock Band, Münchner Freiheit), Bidi Setz (Schlagzeug - Aera, Embryo, Sticken In), Pete Winter (Percus- sion, Gesang) und Burkard Schmidl (Keyboards - Missus Beastly, Dissidenten, Ivan Opium). Der Omnibus war brechend voll, und die zum Teil ergraute und teilweise deutlich gealterte Zu- hörerschaft war begeistert wie damals. Freie Passagen wechselten mit bluesigen Stücken. Orientalische Elemente flossen ein, die Schlag- zeuger wechselten reihum ihre Instrumente. Die Bassisten trieben funky (Kolb) oder virtuos (Dömling) den Rhythmus, Wehmeyer fabrizierte ungewohnte Klänge, und Roman Bunka ver- zauberte wie ehedem auf der Gitarre und sang „alte Weisheiten“ wie Everybody needs some- body to Love oder Sun Ra's Space is the Place. Kurzzeitig wurde auch wieder die Season of the Witch beschworen. Wenn auch weniger auf- regend und etwas abgeklärter, lebte für einen Teil der Fans eine lange vergangene Zeit wieder auf. Schön, wenn sich das für viele noch einmal wiederholen ließe. MBeck 3 over pop under rock Brendan, Lisa und die virtuellen Bacchantinnen * Nach der etwas überraschenden Veröffentlichung von "Dionysus", dem neunten Studioalbum von DEAD CAN DANCE bei PIAS Recordings (PIASR 440CDX), im No- vember 2018 machte sich erst einmal etwas Irritation in der Fangemeinde der britisch-australischen Band breit. Viele störten sich am geringen Anteil der weiblichen Hälfte namens Lisa Gerrard. Andere, vermutlich Nost- algie-Fetischisten, erhofften sich wohl eine Platte im Stile der früheren Alben. Dabei klingt doch keine DCD- Scheibe wie die andere. Ähnlich enttäuscht fiel das ein oder andere Presse-Echo aus. Während die eigentlich durch meist geistreiche Reviews glänzende Website Laut.de dem Werk attestierte, es sei "bewusstseins- erweiternd wie eine BWL-Party", kürte die sächsische Regionalzeitung Freie Presse "Dionysus" sogar zum "schlechtesten Album" einer "einzigartigen Karriere". Ein Jahr lang habe ich die kuriosen Platte (in meinem Fall als Vinyl-Asket die Compact Disc) in Tateinheit mit dem Konsum von ein paar Flaschen Birnenwein (auf Eng- lisch – kein Witz – "perry") auf mich wirken lassen und liefere nun meine freilich völlig subjektive Meinung ab. Dead Can Dance legten mit "Dionysus" erstmals ein wirkliches Konzeptalbum vor. Zwar hatte das Duo etwa schon bei "Into The Labyrinth" (1993) Elemente aus der griechischen Mythologie als Inspirationsquellen genutzt - 'Ariadne', 'Towards The Within' und 'The Spi- der's Stratagem' verweisen auf die Theseussage. Auch bei späteren Stücken wie 'Bylar' und 'The Lotus Eaters' hatten sie auf Odysseus' Spuren mit Rembetika-Sounds gespielt. Doch eine komplette Veröffentlichung einem einzigen Thema zu widmen, ist selbst in den musikalischen Sphären von Brendan Perry und Lisa Gerrard ungewöhnlich. Perry, der dieses Mal fast die komplette Komposition und Aufnahmen allein vornahm, fühlte sich vor allem durch die Lektüre von Friedrich Nietzsches "Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik" (1872) zu einer musikalischen Adaption des Dionysos-Kultus und der Charakteristika des griechischen Weingottes inspiriert. Doch Perry begnügt sich nicht damit, für die Verarbeitung seines Themas nur Zutaten aus der hellenistischen Welt zu verwenden. Das psychedelische, bunte Cover ziert eine rituelle Maske der Huicholen, einem indigenen Volk aus der mexikanischen Wüste. Eine bestens geeignete, visuelle Re- miniszenz an das 1984 erschienenen Debütalbum und den kreativen Prozess hinter dem Bandnamen. Als animalische Würze einer allumfassenden süffigen Klangmelange ertönen Fieldrecordings von Ziegenherden aus der Schweiz, Vogelstimmen aus Südamerika sowie vom Summen neuseeländischer Bienen. Dazu ertönen Instrumente aus diversen Kultur- kreisen: die türkische Zurna (eine Art Vorläufer der Schalmei), die rumänische Schnabel- flöte Fujara, das bulgarische Saiteninstrument Gadulka, das Psalter (Urform von Zither und Hackbrett bzw. Cembalo) aus Griechenland und die vom Balkan stammende Gajda- Sackpfeife. Nicht zu vergessen, die unverzichtbaren Rahmentrommeln unterschiedlicher Größe und Klangfarbe. Mit „Dionysus“ verlassen Dead Can Dance erstmals komplett ihre üblichen strukturellen Pfade und gliedern das Album wie ein Oratorium in zwei Akte mit insgesamt sieben Sätzen. Wer jetzt meint, das neue DCD-Werk widme sich nur Wein, Weib und Gesang, also Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll in vorchristlicher Weise, der irrt. 4 Vielmehr dient der Gott des Weines, der Trauben, der Fruchtbarkeit, des Wahnsinns und der Ekstase als Ausgangspunkt für eine intro- bzw. retrospektive Reise zurück in eine Zeit noch vor der Verdrängung oder Verwässerung alter Bräuche und Riten durch neuere Religionen. Eine Zeit, in der die Menschen noch im Einklang mit der Natur lebten und das Gefühl der Verbundenheit mit dieser durch die Einnahme von psychoaktiven Drogen verstärkten. Dionysos gilt ohnehin auch als Gottheit der Außenseiter, Aussteiger und Freaks, quasi als antiker Hippie-Urvater, zu dessen Ehren kräftig gefeiert wurde. Der erste Akt beginnt mit Meeresrauschen. 'Sea Borne' heißt den über den Ozean gekommenen Gott willkommen. Eine Strandpartie mit galeerentauglichem Getrommel, vibrierenden Drones, quäkenden Flöten und ersten singenden Dionysos-Groupies. Außerdem scheint jemand mit vorsintflutlichen Weingläsern zu klimpern. Vielleicht ist es aber auch nur eine Kithara. Das spirituelle Erwachen der Anhänger bringt 'Liberator of Minds' gemächlich aber stetig ins Rollen. Ein sanfter Reigen von Trommeln, arabesken Melodien und filigranem Geklampfe sowie punktuellen, minimalistischen Gesangs- einlagen. Beides dient jedoch nur zum Aufwärmen für das große Finale des ersten Aktes: 'Dance of the Bacchantes'. Mit Psalter und Percussion als Taktgebern eines entfesselten Tanzes, zu welchem ein Frauenchor wie in Trance trällert

BESNARD LAKES, JEALOUS GIRLFRIENDS (Tonight and Sunday) The Besnard Lakes, from Montreal, build childlike, Brian Wilsonesque melodies into fuzz-drenched epics fraught with violence. The Jealous Girlfriends, one of the best new bands in New York, float through soft and erotic clouds of guitar and keyboards that can turn grungy and turbulent; the soft and erotic stuff is whatʼs gotten their music on “Greyʼs Anatomy.” Tonight at 8:30, with Dappled Cities and the Muggabears, at the Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street, at Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, (212) 260-4700, mercuryloungenyc.com; $12.

(Ben Sisario) BLACK LIPS (Thursday) Sounding like a nightmarish variant of the 13th Floor Elevators or the Troggs, this Atlanta band plays a grisly version of 1960s garage rock, and its onstage antics have been known to descend into the scatological.

Its second album, “Traineater” (Anti-), is an appropriately clangy elegy for rust- belt Americana; here the band plays what it says is its first and possibly only live performance, with friends Jon Langford of the Mekons and Carla Bozulich of the Geraldine Fibbers.

  • He Dreams of Giants
    From the makers of Lost In La Mancha comes A Tale of Obsession… He Dreams of Giants A film by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe RUNNING TIME: 84 minutes United Kingdom, 2019, DCP, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, Aspect Ratio16:9 PRESS CONTACT: Cinetic Media Ryan Werner and Charlie Olsky 1 SYNOPSIS “Why does anyone create? It’s hard. Life is hard. Art is hard. Doing anything worthwhile is hard.” – Terry Gilliam From the team behind Lost in La Mancha and The Hamster Factor, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries that have followed film director Terry Gilliam over a twenty-five-year period. Charting Gilliam’s final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this documentary is a potent study of creative obsession. For over thirty years, Terry Gilliam has dreamed of creating a screen adaptation of Cervantes’ masterpiece. When he first attempted the production in 2000, Gilliam already had the reputation of being a bit of a Quixote himself: a filmmaker whose stories of visionary dreamers raging against gigantic forces mirrored his own artistic battles with the Hollywood machine. The collapse of that infamous and ill-fated production – as documented in Lost in La Mancha – only further cemented Gilliam’s reputation as an idealist chasing an impossible dream. HE DREAMS OF GIANTS picks up Gilliam’s story seventeen years later as he finally mounts the production once again and struggles to finish it. Facing him are a host of new obstacles: budget constraints, a history of compromise and heightened expectations, all compounded by self-doubt, the toll of aging, and the nagging existential question: What is left for an artist when he completes the quest that has defined a large part of his career? 2 Combining immersive verité footage of Gilliam’s production with intimate interviews and archival footage from the director’s entire career, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is a revealing character study of a late-career artist, and a meditation on the value of creativity in the face of mortality.

    Scott Amendola: Drummer/Composer/Bandleader/Educator “Amendola’s music is consistently engaging, both emotionally and intellectually, the product of a fertile and inventive musical imagination.” Los Angeles Times “If Scott Amendola didn't exist, the San Francisco music scene would have to invent him.” Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian “Amendola has complete mastery of every piece of his drumset and the ability to create a plethora of sounds using sticks, brushes, mallets, and even his hands.”Steven Raphael, Modern Drummer “...drummer/signal-treater Scott Amendola is both a tyrant of heavy rhythm and an electric-haired antenna for outworldly messages (not a standard combination).” Greg Burk, LA Weekly For Scott Amendola, the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. As an ambitious composer, savvy bandleader, electronics explorer, first-call accompanist and capaciously creative foil for some of the world’s most inventive musicians, Amendola applies his wide-ranging rhythmic virtuosity to a vast array of settings. His closest musical associates include guitarists Nels Cline, Jeff Parker, Charlie Hunter, Hammond B-3 organist Wil Blades, violinists Jenny Scheinman and Regina Carter, saxophonists Larry Ochs and Phillip Greenlief, and clarinetist Ben Goldberg, players who have each forged a singular path within and beyond the realm of jazz. While rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area scene, Amendola has woven a dense and far-reaching web of bandstand relationships that tie him to influential artists in jazz, blues, rock and new music. A potent creative catalyst, the Berkeley-based drummer is the nexus for a disparate community of musicians stretching from Los Angeles and Seattle to Chicago and New York.

  • The Universal Quixote: Appropriations of a Literary Icon
    THE UNIVERSAL QUIXOTE: APPROPRIATIONS OF A LITERARY ICON A Dissertation by MARK DAVID MCGRAW Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Urbina Committee Members, Paul Christensen Juan Carlos Galdo Janet McCann Stephen Miller Head of Department, Steven Oberhelman August 2013 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2013 Mark David McGraw ABSTRACT First functioning as image based text and then as a widely illustrated book, the impact of the literary figure Don Quixote outgrew his textual limits to gain near- universal recognition as a cultural icon. Compared to the relatively small number of readers who have actually read both extensive volumes of Cervantes´ novel, an overwhelming percentage of people worldwide can identify an image of Don Quixote, especially if he is paired with his squire, Sancho Panza, and know something about the basic premise of the story. The problem that drives this paper is to determine how this Spanish 17th century literary character was able to gain near-univeral iconic recognizability. The methods used to research this phenomenon were to examine the character´s literary beginnings and iconization through translation and adaptation, film, textual and popular iconography, as well commercial, nationalist, revolutionary and institutional appropriations and determine what factors made him so useful for appropriation. The research concludes that the literary figure of Don Quixote has proven to be exceptionally receptive to readers´ appropriative requirements due to his paradoxical nature. The Quixote’s “cuerdo loco” or “wise fool” inherits paradoxy from Erasmus of Rotterdam’s In Praise of Folly.

  • Sardinian Composers of Contemporary Music
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology 12,2012 © PTPN & Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań 2012 CONSUELO GIGLIO Music Conservatory, Trapani Sardinian composers of contemporary music ABSTRACT: The meeting point between the school headed by Franco Oppo and the rich traditional music of the island gave birth in Sardinia to an intense flowering in the field of New Music, with a strong feeling of belonging and a constant call for a positive concept of identity. Thus, since the time of Oppo (1935) and his contemporary Vittorio Montis, we come across many composers that differ between each other but are almost always recognizably “Sardinian”. Oppo has been one of the most interesting figures on the international scene during the last few decades. After his studies in Rome, Venice and Poland in the early 1960s, he remained, by his own choice, in his home territory, sharing his “Sardinian-ness” in a free and dialectic manner with the avant-garde. After formulating his own particular aleatory approach, Oppo reached a turning point halfway through the 1970s: in Musica per chitarra e quartetto d’archi, Praxodia and, finally, in Anninnia I, the meeting point between avant-garde research and the special phonic quality of tra­ ditional music became more and more close-knit and organic, at the same time also acting on the founding language structure whilst still remaining under the control of incisive and informed dis­ ciplines (during the same period, moreover, he put forward new methodologies of analysis which were also necessary for his teaching). In this sense the most important works are chamber pieces like Anninnia I and II (1978, 1982), Attitidu (1983) and Sagra (1985), the theatrical work Eleonora d’Arborea (1986), some piano “transcriptions” - the Three berceuses (1982), Gallurese and Baroniese (1989; 1993) - Trio III (1994), Sonata B for percussion and piano (2005) and the two Concerts for piano and orchestra (1995-97; 2002).
