Techno-Schallplatten“ Stand: 16.01.2017 Timor Kaul und Knut Holtsträter Sammlung „Techno-Schallplatten“ Stand: 16.01.2017 Timor Kaul (Köln) und Knut Holtsträter (Freiburg) Darstellung und Beschreibung der Sammlung „Techno-Schallplatten“ Konvolut Technoplatten Der momentane Bestand (16. Januar 2017) umfasst etwa 1270 Vinyl-Schallplatten im Format 12 Zoll und in den Abspielgeschwindigkeiten 33 ⅓ und 45 UpM. Die Schallplatten sind durch den Sammlungsaufruf von Klaus Baberg im Jahr 2015 ins ZPKM gekommen. Sammlungsgeber war ein für das Lokalradio tätiger Musikredakteur, der die Schallplatten offensichtlich von den Labels als Werbeexemplare erhielt. Bei den Schallplatten handelt es sich hauptsächlich um sog. Maxis, sie sind überwiegend in einem kaum bis nicht gespielten Zustand und vorwiegend aus dem Zeitraum der 1990er bis in die frühen 2000er Jahre. Es sind hauptsächlich deutsche Labels mit europäisch geprägten Subgenres vertreten wie etwa Techno, House, Trance, Rave, Progressive, Happy Hardcore. Ein Teil der Schallplatten sind sog. White Labels und fungierten als Promotion für Club- oder Radio- DJs. In diesen Fällen lassen sich die Schallplatten über die Matrizennummern (bspw. über www.discogs.com) identifizieren oder durch die auf den Schallplatten enthaltene Musik. Musikgeschichtlicher Hintergrund und vorliegende Sammlung Das Genre Techno bildete in den 1990ern die Basis für die dominierende Jugendkultur dieses Jahrzehnts und gilt als Teil des Soundtracks von Mauerfall und Wende. Lange Zeit fungierte Techno selbst im musikwissenschaftlichen Bereich als höchst unscharfe Sammelbezeichnung für sämtliche elektronische Populärmusik, die für die Kontexte von Klubs und Partys produziert worden sind und wurden, wenn überhaupt nur unzureichend gegenüber dem langsameren und zumeist mit mehr vokalen Anteilen und wärmeren Sounds arbeitenden House und Breakbeat-Genres wie Electro oder Jungle abgegrenzt. Detroit Techno ist ab Mitte der 1980er Jahre vor allem aus der Synthese der afro-amerikanischen Stile House und Electro mit europäischem Synth-Pop entstanden. Wenig zeitversetzt fand in Europa und Deutschland ein Prozess der Verbindung des bereits etablierten Acid House mit EBM, New Beat und teilweise auch den neuen Detroiter Sounds statt. Deren Ergebnisse wurden alsbald auch unter dem Label Techno bekannt, wobei Trance die wohl erfolgreichste Variante dieser europäischen Entwicklung darstellen dürfte. In der Folgezeit kam es im Zuge seiner schnellen Kommerzialisierung zu einer umfangreichen weiteren stilistischen Ausdifferenzierung von Techno. Die Entstehung zahlreicher Subgenres war einerseits Marktstrategien geschuldet, stellte in anderen Fällen, wie etwa Hardcore oder Gabba, eine Reaktion der subkulturellen Szene gegen kommerzielle Vereinnahmungen dar. In dem Konvolut befinden vor allem Tracks aus den Bereichen Trance, Happy Hardcore, Euro-House und Progressive House. Diese wurden teilweise von Independent-Labels, aber auch von Sublabels namhafter Majors wie etwa EMI, Epic, Sony und Warner im Zeitraum von circa 1990 bis 2005 auf den Markt gebracht. Aus den genannten Stilistiken und den vertretenen Labels ergibt sich, dass in der Sammlung vor allem kommerziell orientierte Tracks zu finden sein dürften. Für eine weitere Erschließung und wissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Sammlung bietet sich an, von den einzelnen Tracks, den beteiligten Labels oder auch der Sammlung als solcher auszugehen, um interessante Seite 1 von 5 Timor Kaul und Knut Holtsträter Sammlung „Techno-Schallplatten“ Stand: 16.01.2017 Erkenntnisse zu dem popkulturellen Phänomen Techno und seinem spezifischen Verlauf in Deutschland zu gewinnen. Labels im EDM-Bereich (Stand 16.01.2017): Folgende unvollständige Auflistung ist das Ergebnis einer vorläufigen Stichprobe. Die Stichprobe an der Sammlung hat Knut Holtsträter vorgenommen, Timor Kaul hat diese Stichprobe von Köln aus (u.a. mithilfe von Discogs) annotiert. Für die Zukunft ist geplant, das bis dahin noch weitgehend ungeordnete Konvolut nach Labels zu ordnen (in alphabetischer Ordnung). Die Liste soll als erste Übersicht über die Sammlung und als Orientierung für die interessierte Fachöffentlichkeit dienen und vertritt keinerlei Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, was die unterschiedlichen Labels und Sublabels betrifft. (Gegenstichproben haben gezeigt, dass die auf Dicogs vorgefundenen Angaben zu vielen Labels noch unvollständig sind.) Wir freuen uns über Korrektur- und Verbesserungsvorschläge als auch inhaltliche Anmerkungen und unterstützen Interessierte gerne bei der weiteren Beschäftigung mit unseren Sammlungen am ZPKM.

  • Assessing the Future Ip Landscape of Music’S Cash Cow: What Happens When the Live Concert Goes Virtual
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\91-2\NYU205.txt unknown Seq: 1 11-MAY-16 12:42 ASSESSING THE FUTURE IP LANDSCAPE OF MUSIC’S CASH COW: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIVE CONCERT GOES VIRTUAL CHARLES H. LOW* If piracy has been the bane of the music industry, and live performances are a financial buoy, what happens when live performances are ported to a virtual medium that all of a sudden may be subject to piracy again? This Note examines the various intellectual property frameworks through which one can look at the protectable elements of a live show or concert and what happens to the pro- tectability of those elements once the show is ported to virtual reality. Given that technology to date has had a much larger impact on recorded music than on live performances, the introduction of virtual reality technology has serious disruptive potential. This Note argues that one can use existing intellectual property law to weave a complex web of protected elements around less traditional targets of IP like stage, set, and lighting design, background visuals, live performers, and props. This web of intellectual property protection will encourage strong contracting and yield more avenues for resisting piracy in the virtual reality world.

  • Mixing It up Bent and Twisted
    The sociality of dance events and health implications Kate Ireland A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Interdisciplinary studies in sexuality, health and culture University of New South Wales Sydney, NSW 2050, Australia August, 2002 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the sociality – shared rituals and rules - of dance events and implications for health. I consider how forms of belongings, selves and practices of music, dance and drug use are produced, regulated and understood in the space of local dance events with ‗mixed‘ crowds and the everyday lives of participants. Social networks approaches, while offering an understanding of drug use as a social practice, focus on belonging as a basis for risk-reduction, to the exclusion of the role played by pleasure in producing and maintaining belonging. Contemporary cultural studies literature features an understanding of dance through the power of the ecstatic moment to produce new forms of embodied selves and belongings, but does not offer a means to think through how dance is regulated via techniques of self-care – except in the work of Pini (1993, 1997a, b, c), where pleasure, belonging and self-care are brought together. Using Pini‘s (1993, 1997a, b, c) work as a point of departure, I provide an interdisciplinary account of local ‗mixed‘ dance events, via analysis of qualitative data from ethnographic fieldwork, review of media texts and interviews with partygoers. I situate the local spaces, everyday practices and stories of events in the context of broader social processes, through setting them in relation to Foucault‘s (1986/1990b) work on self-care as a social practice and Maffesoli‘s (1988/1996) work on collective rituals of neo-tribal sociality, in a wider context of restrictive regulation of self- formation.

  • Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture
    The Vibe of the Exiles: Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture Feature Article Graham St John Griffith University (Australia) Abstract This article offers detailed comment on thevibe of the exiles, a socio-sonic aesthetic infused with the sensibility of the exile, of compatriotism in expatriation, a characteristic of psychedelic electronica from Goatrance to psytrance and beyond (i.e. psyculture). The commentary focuses on an emancipatory artifice which sees participants in the psyculture continuum adopt the figure of the alien in transpersonal and utopian projects. Decaled with the cosmic liminality of space exploration, alien encounter and abduction repurposed from science fiction, psychedelic event-culture cultivates posthumanist pretentions resembling Afrofuturist sensibilities that are identified with, appropriated and reassembled by participants. Offering a range of examples, among them Israeli psychedelic artists bent on entering another world, the article explores the interface of psyculture and Afrofuturism. Sharing a theme central to cosmic jazz, funk, rock, dub, electro, hip-hop and techno, from the earliest productions, Israeli and otherwise, Goatrance, assumed an off-world trajectory, and a concomitant celebration of difference, a potent otherness signified by the alien encounter, where contact and abduction become driving narratives for increasingly popular social aesthetics. Exploring the different orbits from which mystics and ecstatics transmit visions of another world, the article, then, focuses on the socio- sonic aesthetics of the dance floor, that orgiastic domain in which a multitude of “freedoms” are performed, mutant utopias propagated, and alien identities danced into being. Keywords: alien-ation; psyculture; Afrofuturism; posthumanism; psytrance; exiles; aliens; vibe Graham St John is a cultural anthropologist and researcher of electronic dance music cultures and festivals.

  • The Entrepreneurial Process in the Rise of Electronic Music Martina Montauti University of Lugano Institute of Management [email protected]
    Paper to be presented at the DRUID Society Conference 2014, CBS, Copenhagen, June 16-18 Between inertia and change: The entrepreneurial process in the rise of electronic music Martina Montauti University of Lugano Institute of Management [email protected] Filippo Carlo Wezel University of Lugano Institute of Management [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the structural conditions under which a reduced number of entrepreneurial events is observed. Hypotheses are tested in the context of the music industry, and in particular during the rise and establishment of electronic music. Empirical evidence provides support to the arguments advanced in the paper and implications for the relevant literatures are sketched. Jelcodes:M13,- BETWEEN INERTIA AND CHANGE: THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PROCESS IN THE RISE OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC **Draft paper: please do not quote or cite** INTRODUCTION Sure enough, entrepreneurial events keep occurring despite the high failure rates of new ventures (Aldrich and Ruef, 2006; Caves, 1998; Klepper and Graddy, 1990). This well-documented empirical regularity suggests that a prime exception in the entrepreneurial process pertains to inaction, rather than to actions that prove unsuccessful (Carroll and Khessina, 2005). As long as the understanding of exceptions helps a more comprehensive grasp of regularities, a set of notable works has focused on the cases in which entrepreneurial action has not always been promptly realized (Carroll and Hannan, 2000; Lomi, Larsen and Wezel, 2010; Sørensen and Sorenson, 2003). The antecedents of entrepreneurial inertia (Ruef, 2006), namely of the inaction resulting from the procrastination of market entry, have been located in the environment and in specific characteristics of the entrepreneurial organizations (Kuilman and Li, 2006; Kuilman, Vermeulen and Li, 2009; Schoonhoven, Eisenhardt and Lyman, 1990).

  • Instrumentational Complexity of Music Genres and Why Simplicity Sells
    Instrumentational complexity of music genres and why simplicity sells Gamaliel Percino1, Peter Klimek1, Stefan Thurner1;2;3∗ 1Section for Science of Complex Systems; CeMSIIS; Medical University of Vienna; Spitalgasse 23; A-1090; Austria. 2Santa Fe Institute; 1399 Hyde Park Road; Santa Fe; NM 87501; USA. 3IIASA, Schlossplatz 1, A-2361 Laxenburg; Austria. Abstract Listening habits are strongly influenced by two opposing aspects, the desire for variety and the demand for uniformity in music. In this work we quantify these two notions in terms of musical instrumentation and production technologies that are typically involved in crafting popular music. We assign a \complexity value" to each music style. A style is complex if it shows the property of having both high variety and low uniformity in instrumentation. We find a strong inverse relation between variety and uniformity of music styles that is remarkably stable over the last half century. Individual styles, however, show dramatic changes in their \complexity" during that period. Styles like \new wave" or \disco" quickly climbed towards higher complexity in the 70s and fell back to low complexity levels shortly afterwards, whereas styles like \folk rock" remained at constant high complexity levels. We show that changes in the complexity of a style are related to its number of sales and to the number of artists contributing to that style. As a style attracts a growing number of artists, its instrumentational variety usually increases. At the same time the instrumentational uniformity of a style decreases, i.e. a unique stylistic and increasingly complex expression pattern emerges. In contrast, album sales of a given style typically increase with decreasing complexity.
