  • Tesi Del Dott. Jacopo Conti: Minimalismo ... -.:: Franco Fabbri
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO FACOLTÀ DI SCIENZE DELLA FORMAZIONE CORSO DI STUDIO TRIENNALE IN D.A.M.S. DISSERTAZIONE FINALE Minimalismo, modalità e improvvisazione nella musica dei nuovi King Crimson Relatore: Candidato: Ernesto Napolitano Jacopo Conti matr. n° 259083 Anno accademico 2006 - 2007 A mia zia, che credeva in me e mi ha sempre sostenuto. 1 PREMESSA “King Crimson was more a revolving door than a band. ” - Robert Palmer La cronologia dei King Crimson (KC) dal 1969 al 2003 è assai articolata, e include vari stili e molti musicisti con una sola presenza fissa, quella di Robert Fripp (1946), chitarrista e compositore inglese fondatore del gruppo. Considerati tra i fondatori del progressive rock, pubblicano l’album In The Court Of The Crimson King 1 nel 1969 con Fripp alla chitarra, Ian McDonald (1946) al sax e al mellotron, Michael Giles (1942) alla batteria, Greg Lake (1948) al basso e alla voce e Peter Sinfield (1943) nel ruolo di paroliere. I lunghi brani strutturati, gli elaborati riff suonati all’unisono e i testi di ispirazione fantastica e fiabesca non solo diventano la caratteristica principale del gruppo, ma anche gli elementi fondanti del nuovo genere. Già con il secondo lp, In The Wake Of Poseidon (1970), la formazione viene rimodellata: Mel Collins (1947) prende il posto di McDonald al sax, Gordon Haskell canta in alcuni brani (durante la lavorazione del disco Greg Lake abbandona il gruppo per andare a costituire il trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer), si aggiunge al pianoforte Keith Tippett (1947). Il gruppo si scioglie per qualche mese dopo l’incisione del disco per poi tornare, con un’altra formazione, alla fine del 1970.

  • On Stage (Extra): a 'Curious' Case of Broadway-Style Entertainment
    On Stage (Extra): A ‘Curious’ case of Broadway-style entertainment Feb 25th, 2017 · 0 Comment By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Theater fans from this area have been very fortunate this month – mainly because of the offerings from the Kimmel Center’s “Broadway Philadelphia” series at the Academy of Music (Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia, 215-731-3333, www.kimmelcenter.org). Instead of being presented for the umpteenth time with tried-and-true musicals such as “Annie,” “Sound of Music” or “Rent,” fans are being treated to two hit shows that are fresh off Broadway and making their Philadelphia debuts. “The Bodyguard” is running through February 26. Then, from February 28-March 5, the Academy of Music is hosting “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” Hailed as “One of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broadway” by The New York Times, this adaptation is the Tony Award®-winning new play by Simon Stephens, adapted from Mark Haddon’s best- selling novel and directed by Tony winner Marianne Elliott. Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best New Play, the acclaimed National Theatre production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” is now on its first North American tour. Two-time Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott (“War Horse”) directs this adaptation by Tony and Olivier Award winner Simon Stephens – an adaptation that brings Mark Haddon’s internationally best-selling novel to thrilling life. Christopher John Francis Boone, a 15-year-old boy with an extraordinary brain, is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life.
