  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one?

  • The Fiddle Traditions the Violin Comes to Norway It Is Believed That The
    The fiddle traditions The violin comes to Norway It is believed that the violin came to that violins from this period were Norway in the middle of the 1600s brought home by, amongst others, from Italy and Germany. This was Norwegian soldiers who fought in probably as a result of upper class wars in Europe. music activities in the towns. But, much suggests that fiddle playing was known in the countryside before this. Already around 1600 ‘farmer fiddles’ are described in old sources, and named fiddlers are also often encountered. We know of the Hardanger fiddle from the middle of the 1600s, which implies that a fiddle-making industry was already established in the countryside before the violin was popular in the Norwegian towns. Rural craftsmen in Norway must have acquired knowledge about this new instrument from 1500s Italy and been inspired by it. One can imagine From 1650 onwards, the violin quickly became a popular instrument throughout the whole of the country. We have clear evidence of this in many areas – from Finnmark, the rural areas of the West Coast and from inland mountain and valley districts. The fiddle, as it was also called, was the pop instrument of its day. There exist early descriptions as to how the farming folk amused themselves and danced to fiddle music. In the course of the 1700s, its popularity only increased, and the fiddle was above all used at weddings and festive occasions. Fiddlers were also prominent at the big markets, and here it was possible to find both fiddles and fiddle strings for sale.

  • Die Macht Der Marke
    # 2013/21 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2013/21/die-macht-der-marke Weshalb Savages die Band der Stunde ist Die Macht der Marke Von Jan Tölva Die Sachverständigen der Popkultur sind sich einig: Savages ist die Band der Stunde. Wieso aber kommt der Sound der vier Londonerinnen derart gut an? Die Popkulturindustrie basiert zu einem großen Teil auf dem Prinzip des Hypes. Savages versetzen zurzeit, wie kaum eine andere Band der vergangenen Jahre, die schreibende Zunft von Visions bis New York Times in einen Zustand aufgeregt-abgeklärter Verzückung. Kaum verwunderlich, man könnte sogar sagen folgerichtig, denn Savages sind eine Konzeptband – am Reißbrett entworfen, um genau denjenigen zu gefallen, die derzeit die Popkulturspalten der Feuilletons dominieren. In seiner Spex-Titelstory schreibt Torsten Groß, das Haus von Sängerin Jehnny Beth und ihrem Lebenspartner Johnny Hostile, der auch »Silence Yourself«, das erste Album der Band, mitproduziert hat, sei »vollgestopft mit genau den richtigen Büchern und Platten«. Groß weiß, wovon er spricht. Viele Redaktionen werden heute von Journalisten bevölkert, deren Jugend wohl durch die erklärten Vorbilder der Savages geprägt war: Bauhaus, Joy Division, Einstürzende Neubauten. Den gegenwärtigen Exponenten des Popjournalismus stellen sich Savages so als späte Möglichkeit dar, sich zumindest im Rückblick einer wild erscheinenden Jugend zu versichern. Für die etwas Jüngeren symbolisiert die Band das unglücklicherweise knapp Verpasste. Im deutschsprachigen Raum markierte Jürgen Teipels Buch »Verschwende deine Jugend« 2001 den Beginn einer Achtziger-Nostalgie, an die auch Savages mit ihrer Ästhetik anknüpfen. Seit rund zehn Jahren revivalt alles, was mal Punk war, daraus geworden ist und für gewöhnlich unter dem Label Post-Punk zusammengefasst wird.

But from the 14th to the 19th century Norway was considered by other Europeans to be remote and belonging to the backwaters of Europe. Some daring travel- ers came in the Romantic era, and one of them wrote: The fantastic pillars and arches of fairy folk-lore may still be descried in the deep secluded glens of Thelemarken, undefaced with stucco, not propped by unsightly modern buttress. The harp of popular minstrelsy – though it hangs mouldering and mildewed with infrequency of use, its strings unbraced for want of cunning hands that can tune and strike them as the Scalds of Eld – may still now and then be heard sending forth its simple music. Sometimes this assumes the shape of a soothing lullaby to the sleep- ing babe, or an artless ballad of love-lorn swains, or an arch satire on rustic doings and foibles. Sometimes it swells into a symphony descriptive of the descent of Odin; or, in somewhat less Pindaric, and more Dibdin strain, it recounts the deeds of the rollicking, death-despising Vikings; while, anon, its numbers rise and fall with mysterious cadence as it strives to give a local habitation and a name to the dimly seen forms and antic pranks of the hol- low-backed Huldra crew.” (From The Oxonian in Thelemarken, or Notes of Travel in South-Western Norway in the Summers of 1856 and 1857, written by Frederick Metcalfe, Lincoln College, Oxford.)
