Viviana Mónica Vermes, minha orientadora, por sua dedicação, profissionalismo, paciência e empatia. Por abrir mão de muitas coisas para me guiar nessa jornada. Não tenho palavras nem capacidade suficientes para agradecer o que fez por mim. Aos professores Lucas dos Passos, Vitor Cei Santos, Sérgio da Fonseca Amaral e Marita Fornaro Bordolli por aceitarem participar da banca. Ao Lucas, novamente, pela disposição de orientar minha monografia, analisar meu pré-projeto de mestrado e, agora, avaliar minha dissertação. É meu último pedido, (não) prometo! E ao Vitor pela sensibilidade ao tratar do meu caso, sendo justo e íntegro às normas que regem o programa e, dessa forma, exercendo a função de servidor público de modo exemplar. Vocês fazem a diferença na formação dos seus alunos. Ao Victor, meu guitarrista preferido, meu namorado e meu maior incentivador. Eu não teria chegado aqui sem seu apoio durante os momentos de angústia e sem os momentos felizes que você me proporcionou. Como sempre, recorro às músicas que me acompanham, pra dizer que “é só você que eu quero e eu quero ser tudo pra te ver sorrir” (Dance of Days). Sou grata por tudo que fez por mim durante os anos caóticos do mestrado e da vida. Aos meus pais e irmão; à Cristine, minha irmã, por ser a família que eu sempre quis; ao Henrique e ao Gabriel, meus sobrinhos, por toda alegria e sentido que trouxeram para minha existência nesse planeta. Este trabalho também é para vocês três. À Rhaysla e à Isadora, minhas melhores amigas, pelo suporte e motivação, fisicamente e virtualmente, durante mais de dez anos. Obrigada por compreenderem minhas ausências durante o mestrado e por aguentarem meus desesperos constantes. À Drª. Marina pelo tratamento humano, empático e profissional durante um momento muito difícil em 2019 (Viva o SUS!). E também ao Dr. André por me proporcionar qualidade de vida em meio aos traumas e à pandemia, possibilitando meu retorno à escrita. Ao parceiro de trabalho Rodrigo Dantas e ao gestor Guilherme Glaber, respectivamente, por toda ajuda e encorajamento no momento que eu mais precisei. 2020 teria sido muito mais pesado se eu não trabalhasse com vocês. Aos “desconstruídos distraídos": Carlos Alexandre, Nalini Lima, Targino Filho, Ana Paula e Rayanne Carrara. Vocês são nota dez no trabalho, na luta e na arte. Espero ser como vocês um dia. Aos amigos e colegas (de curso, de trabalho e do mundo) que estiveram presentes em algum momento (com apoio, distrações e inspirações) desses últimos anos: Michelle Preterotti, Filipe Oliveira, Camila Gabriel, Thiago Barbosa, Izabela Campos, Danielly Francisco, Lorrania Rodrigues, Dayane Oliveira, Nathalia Castro, Darilene Xavier, Viktor Lopes, Jéssica Stein, Kevin Rocha, Priscilla Vidal, Mizael Charlini, Lorena Araújo, Luciano Lima, Taiga Scaramussa, João Victor Damasceno, Larissa Lopes, Carlilio Louzada, Amanda Souza, Silvia Fiorotti e Gisele Fabri. Ao professor Etelvo Ramos, que há muito não vejo, mas que entende exatamente tudo o que eu passei e o que tive de enfrentar para chegar até aqui. Nunca esqueço do incentivo e dos conselhos que me deu durante a graduação. Ao MGMT, Nirvana, Julian Casablancas, The Strokes, The Voidz, Death Cab for Cutie, Dev Hynes/ Blood Orange, Imogen Heap, Frank Ocean, Novos Baianos, Talking Heads, Ramones, Tears for Fears, The Cure, Joy Division, Rooney, Kevin Abstract, Prince, My Chemical Romance, Criolo, Dead Fish, Dance of Days e todas as bandas, cantores e músicas que fizeram parte da trilha sonora da minha vida. Aos artistas Andrew VanWyngarden & Ben Goldwasser, mesmo sabendo que isso não será lido por nenhum dos dois: thank you. “Hitting the sweet spot between edgy and catchy is the goal in everything I do and ‘Is This It’ is always what you’re aiming for. I’m a human animal and a prisoner of the crowd’s reaction on a biological level — I don’t want to care, but if people like it, it feels better than if people hate a song. You never know how the audience will react and hope for the best, but you don’t let it compromise your integrity” (Julian Casablancas) “Now that you heard the truth All I need a friendly face I hate that feeling too But no one's unafraid”. (The Strokes) RESUMO O uso do imaginário medieval é uma tradição que perdura há muito tempo em várias produções artísticas, apesar de suas possíveis problemáticas. O medieval está presente no álbum Little Dark Age (2018), da banda indie norte-americana MGMT. No álbum em questão, a banda evoca elementos desse imaginário enquanto faz uma crítica aos problemas que enxerga na vida contemporânea. Com o avanço da tecnologia, o sujeito contemporâneo, por um lado, comunica-se de modo mais dinâmico e tem maior acesso à cultura e, por outro, experimenta a solidão, a desinformação e a intolerância. Nessa sociedade do espetáculo, as produções artísticas (livros, canções, filmes etc.) são reféns da indústria cultural que, por sua vez, produz artes padronizadas com o intuito de lucrar, deixando de lado a originalidade. Dessa forma, a canção popular é muitas vezes vista como um objeto manipulado pelo capitalismo, pois a indústria segue uma fórmula que influencia as pessoas a consumirem novos produtos semelhantes aos que já consumiram anteriormente. Os artistas indie (independentes) surgem como uma resposta a esse sistema. No entanto, seu discurso pode parecer contraditório, visto que criticam a indústria enquanto estão inseridos nela. Com essas questões em mente, o objetivo desta dissertação é analisar o motivo da escolha da banda pela evocação do imaginário medieval. Portanto, conforme proposto por Ruth Finnegann (2008), discutiremos sobre as três dimensões das canções de modo unificado, entendendo esse gênero como uma das formas literárias mais completas de comunicação de sentimentos e sensações. Para desenvolvermos essas questões, em consonância com Antonio Candido (2006), examinaremos de que forma o contexto social contemporâneo e a estrutura estética da produção lírica, musical e performática se relacionam. Também nos apoiaremos nas discussões teóricas de Debord (1997), Adorno (1996), Eco (1986), Le Goff (2005), Schøllhammer (2007) e Laplantine e Trindade (2017). Com base na análise das dimensões lírica, musical e performática, discutiremos as possibilidades de interpretação derivadas da associação dos elementos sociais com a experiência estética das canções do Little Dark Age e suas relações com os ecos do imaginário medieval. Palavras-chave: Canção Popular. Imaginário Medieval. Contemporaneidade. Indústria cultural. Tecnologia. ABSTRACT The use of medieval imagery is a tradition that has long persisted in various artistic productions, despite its possible problems. The medieval is present in the album Little Dark Age (2018), by the American indie band MGMT. In this album, the band evokes elements of this imagery while criticizing the problems it sees in contemporary life.

    Umphrey’s McGee Brendan Bayliss: Guitar, vocals Jake Cinninger: Guitar, vocals Joel Cummins: Keyboard, piano, vocals Andy Farag: Percussion Kris Myers: Drums, vocals Ryan Stasik: Bass After 18-plus years of performing more than 100 concerts annually, releasing nine studio albums and selling more than 4.2 million tracks online, Umphrey’s McGee might be forgiven if they chose to rest on their laurels. But then that wouldn’t be consistent with the work ethic demonstrated by the band, which consistently attempts to raise the bar, setting and achieving new goals since forming on the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, Indiana, in 1997. After releasing their eighth studio album, Similar Skin, the first for their own indie label, Nothing Too Fancy (N2F) Music (distributed by RED), the group continued to push the envelope and test the limits. The London Session, was a dream come true for the members having been recorded at the legendary Studio Two at historic Abbey Road. The stealth recording session yielded 10 tracks in a single day, proving once again, the prolific UM waits for no one. As a follow up to The London Session, the envelope pushing continues with the November 11th release of ZONKEY. Umphrey’s McGee has been arranging and performing original mashups live for over eight years. It was only a matter of when, not if, some of those innovative concoctions would find their way into a studio. An album of 12 unique mashups, conceived and arranged by the band, ZONKEY is as seamless as it bizarre, playful as it is razor sharp.

  • Midnight Special Songlist
    west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Freshers › Colleges Societies YUSU Campus City Domestic Survival Sport The Freshers’ Soundtrack Music Editor Chris Owen offers some album recommendations for your first weeks at University, whether you’re studying, partying or missing home Tuesday 29 September 2015 There are lots of decisions to make in your first weeks at university: what should I wear, which societies should I join, what should I eat, would it be a good idea to jump in the lake, et cetera, et cetera. As seasoned students, we hope that we can impart some wisdom to make things easier (the answers to those questions are anything, all of them especially Nouse, anything, and absolutely not, in case you were wondering). As the paper’s resident Music nerd, I’ve taken it upon myself to help with some choices of a musical nature, so you can concentrate on deciding the important things. Below are some albums that might come in handy for various points in your first few weeks at university – and if you absolutely have to jump in the lake, do it to some Queen. For pre-drinking Arriving at agreement for the pre-drinks music can be trickier than you’d think, especially in the face of that overbearing Music student flatmate and the wasted one who only wants to listen to ‘Uptown Funk’. But there are plenty of agreeable options to flesh out a playlist to appeal to all. The Killers – Hot Fuss You’ll be hearing ‘Mr Brightside’ at least twice a night each time you go out, so you’d better make sure you learn all the words beforehand if you don’t know them already.

Kitty sets out on a relentless quest to find Anne Frank. It’s the beginning of an adventurous journey. SYNOPSIS WHERE IS ANNE FRANK begins with a miracle: Kitty, the imaginary friend to whom Anne Frank wrote in her famous Diary, comes to life in present-day Amsterdam. Unaware that 75 years have gone by, Kitty is convinced that if she is alive, then Anne must be alive too. WHERE IS ANNE FRANK tells the story of Kitty’s quest across contemporary Europe to find her beloved friend. Armed with the precious Diary and with help from her friend Peter, who runs a secret shelter for undocumented refugees, Kitty follows Anne’s traces, from the Annex to her tragic end in the Holocaust. Disoriented by our broken world, and the injustices that child refugees endure, Kitty wants to fulfill Anne’s cause. Through her honesty, she presents a message of hope and generosity addressed to future generations. STATEMENT FROM ANNE FRANK FONDS BASEL Shortly after Otto Frank published the Diary of his daughter Anne Frank in 1947 for the first time, he decided to have it adapted for stage and film.

  • The Dark Side User Manual
    USER MANUAL 1.0.2 EASTWEST | THE DARK SIDE IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE! Our Revolutionary New Opus Software Engine Our brand new Opus software engine has been years in development, and replaces the Play engine. All EastWest Libraries (with the exception of the original Hollywood Orchestra, the original Hollywood Solo Instruments, and the MIDI Guitar Series) are supported in Opus, allowing them to take advantage of a faster, more powerful, more flexible, and better looking software engine. Opus comes with some incredible new features such as individual instrument down- loads, customized key-switches, new effects for the mixer page, scalable retina user interface upgrades for legacy products, a powerful new script language, and many more features that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument. It’s one of the most exciting developments in the history of our company and will be the launching pad for many exciting new products in the future. Using Opus and Play Together Opus and Play are two separate software products, anything you have saved in your projects will still load up inside the saved Play version of the plugins. You can update your current/existing projects to Opus if you so choose, or leave them saved within Play. After purchasing or upgrading to Opus you do not need to use Play, but it may be more convenient to make small adjustments to an older composition in your DAW loading the instruments saved in Play instead of replacing them with Opus. For any new composi- tion, just use Opus. A Note About User Manuals All EastWest Libraries have their own user manuals (like this one) that refer to instru- ments and controls that are specific to their respective libraries, as well as referencing the Play User Manual for controls that are common to all EastWest Libraries.

  • MGMT: Little Dark Age
    MGMT: Little Dark Age spectrumculture.com/2018/02/11/mgmt-little-dark-age-review/ Daniel Bromfield One imagines a pang of dread shooting through the members of MGMT as their debut album, Oracular Spectacular, turned 10 last month. For better or for worse, Oracular Spectacular is now a classic, and its three titanic hit singles—“Kids,” “Time to Pretend” and “Electric Feel”—show no signs of going away. Most bands would be pleased to have a legacy set in stone, but MGMT have spent the better part of the last decade trying to distance themselves from pop stardom and prove to the world—or to themselves— that they’re a serious experimental band. They’ve succeeded, sort of. Though most of the world will always know MGMT for their hits, we no longer have any safe expectations for the “next MGMT album,” and it makes perfect sense that they’re ditching the psych-poppet affectations to reposition themselves as compadres of Ariel Pink and John Maus. Little Dark Age, the duo’s long-gestating fourth album, casts them as graveyard goths whose madcap sense of humor barely keeps the bad vibes at bay. That it works is a testament to just how unpredictable this band has become in its experimental period. This feels like the logical endpoint of the band’s hermeticism. While Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser once presented themselves as cult leaders, with “the handshake under our tongue,” here they’re more like mad prophets broadcasting their ravings to the world from a dingy basement. The music is mid-fi, shrouded in filters that feel like the musical embodiment of the band’s misanthropy, and the dominant instrument isn’t synth or guitar but Matt Asti’s bass, which burbles nauseously out of the gloom.
