Jejím primárním cílem bude vyhodnotit technologie, které by se daly označit pro dubstep jako fundamentální. Ať už pro jeho samotnou produkci, nebo pro jeho šíření a demokratizaci. Abychom byli tyto technologie schopni vyhodnotit, považuji za důležité zaměřit se i na technologie, jež se staly zásadní pro hudební styly, ovlivňující dubstep určitým způsobem. Proto se třetí a čtvrtá část této práce zaměřuje právě na tyto hudební styly, rozdělené do dvou hudebních rodin – jedné spadající pod označení Hardcore Continuum1 a druhé do afro- karibské hudební větve. Pátá kapitola práce bude zaměřená na samotné technologie, které lze na základě předchozích kapitol vyhodnotit jako zásadní pro vznik a následnou demokratizaci dubstepu. Poslední část této práce se bude věnovat dubstepové kultuře v České republice, poněvadž doposud nevznikla žádná práce, zaměřující se na tento hudební styl v této zemi. Ačkoliv se dubstep během prvního desetiletí tohoto tisíciletí stal prakticky všudypřítomným, od malých undergroundových klubů v jižním Londýně až po přítomnost na stříbrných plátnech hollywoodských filmů, do současnosti nevznikly téměř žádné studie, zaměřující se na tento hudební styl. Asi nejrozsáhlejší akademickou prací, která se věnuje přímo dubstepu, je publikace od Mike D’Errico s názvem Electronic Dance Music in the Dubstep Era.2 Jeho práce je ovšem zaměřena spíše na hudební vztah mezi Velkou Británií a USA ve snaze zdůraznit význam lokálních scén ve světě rostoucí globalizace a dále zkoumá jeho využití napříč mediálními formami. Zaměření na technologie je zde však upozaděno. Protože se stále jedná o poměrně nový hudební styl, nevzniklo ani příliš odborné literatury věnující se tomuto fenoménu, a proto většina informací v této práci bude čerpána z rozhovorů se samotnými pionýry a lidmi, kteří byli u zrodu tohoto žánru. Pro vyhodnocení informací byla jako nejvhodnější metodologický postup vyhodnocena syntéza, přesněji synteticko-analytické poznávací postupy. U syntézy se obvykle sledují vzájemné podstatné souvislosti mezi jednotlivými složkami objektu, což napomáhá odhalení vnitřních zákonitostí fungování a vývoje objektu bádání. Tato metoda však mnohdy není proveditelná bez analýzy a naopak. Závěry tedy budou formulovány především na základě výchozích zjištění obou metod. 1 REYNOLDS, Simon.

UCLA. 6 2 Dubstep Dubstep je subžánr elektronické taneční hudby, který vznikl ve Velké Británii na počátku tohoto tisíciletí. Obecně lze dubstep charakterizovat jako hudební styl, pro nějž je charakteristická hluboká basová linka a tempo okolo 140 BPM (beats per minute). Další prvky, které se v dubstepu objevují, jsou povětšinu převzaté z jiných hudebních žánrů. Obecně ale lze tyto žánry rozdělit do dvou hudebních rodin – afro-karibské a Hardcore continuum. Pro většinu dubstepových skladeb jsou typické mohutné basové a sub-basové linky a zlomený beat s modulovanými samply a občasnými vokály, vše v rychlosti okolo 140 BPM. Tradičně jsou dnes jednotlivé složky dubstepového beatu uspořádány v tomto pořadí: intro, drop s hlavní částí, mezihra, drop s druhou hlavní částí a outro. Při formování tohoto žánru ovšem byla většina dubstepové hudební produkce přikloněna k experimentování jak se zvukem, tak i celou skladbou

    ©Peter Lindbergh LE PREMIER FILM DOCUMENTAIRE SUR DAFT PUNK, L'ÉPOPÉE DU DUO LE PLUS SECRET DU MONDE, AVEC LA PARTICIPATION EXCEPTIONNELLE DE LEURS PROCHES COLLABORATEURS ET AMIS. PREMIÈRE MONDIALE : ÉDITION COLLECTOR DIGIBOOK (DVD ET BLU-RAY™) LE 24 NOVEMBRE #DaftPunkUnchained 2015 : LES 20 ANS DE DAFT PUNK Synopsis DAFT PUNK UNCHAINED réalisé par Hervé Martin Delpierre et co-écrit avec Marina Rozenman est le premier film indépendant qui révèle un Lévy ©Philippe phénomène de société sans précédent dans l'univers de la pop culture depuis 20 ans : DAFT PUNK. Entre fiction et réalité, magie et secrets, théâtralité et humilité, les deux Français Thomas Bengalter et Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo ont créé un univers artistique unique. Tout au long de leur carrière, ils ont choisi de maitriser sans relâche chaque maillon de leur chaîne créative. Le film met en lumière les moments clefs de leur histoire, depuis leur premier groupe de lycée à Paris jusqu'à leur triomphe à Los Angeles, où ils ont remporté cinq Grammy Awards pour leur album Random Access Memories en 2014. A travers leur posture - à contre-courant de notre société du paraître - les DAFT PUNK nous interrogent sur la quête d'indépendance et de liberté de deux créateurs, et sur notre propre rapport à l'image, aux médias, et à la célébrité. A l'heure de la mondialisation et de l'explosion des réseaux sociaux, ils refusent d'afficher leur vrai visage et orchestrent avec précision chacune de leurs apparitions en robots. Produit par BBC Wordwide France, DAFT PUNK UNCHAINED a nécessité deux ans de production.

  • The Aura of Dubplate Specials in Finnish Reggae Sound System Culture
    “Chase Sound Boys Out of Earth”: The Aura of Dubplate Specials in Finnish Reggae Sound System Culture Feature Article Kim Ramstedt Åbo Akademi University (Finland) Abstract This study seeks to expand our understanding of how dubplate specials are produced, circulated, and culturally valued in the international reggae sound system culture of the dub diaspora by analysing the production and performance of “Chase the Devil” (2005), a dubplate special commissioned by the Finnish MPV sound system from Jamaican reggae singer Max Romeo. A dubplate special is a unique recording where, typically, a reggae artist re-records the vocals to one of his or her popular songs with new lyrics that praise the sound system that commissioned the recording. Scholars have previously theorized dubplates using Walter Benjamin’s concept of aura, thereby drawing attention to the exclusivity and uniqueness of these traditionally analog recordings. However, since the advent of digital technologies in both recording and sound system performance, what Benjamin calls the “cult value” of producing and performing dubplates has become increasingly complex and multi-layered, as digital dubplates now remediate prior aesthetic forms of the analog. By turning to ethnographic accounts from the sound system’s DJ selectors, I investigate how digital dubplates are still culturally valued for their aura, even as the very concept of aura falls into question when applied to the recording and performance of digital dubplates. Keywords: aura, dubplate special, DJ, performance, reggae, recording, authenticity Kim Ramstedt is a PhD candidate in musicology at Åbo Akademi University in Finland. In his dissertation project, Ramstedt is studying DJs as cultural intermediaries and the localization of musical cultures through DJ practices.

  • Estimation of Key in Digital Music Recordings, Msc Computer Science Project Report
    Estimation of key in digital music recordings MSc Computer Science Project Report This report is substantially the result of my own work, expressed in my own words, except where it is explicitly indicated in the text. I give my permission for it to be submitted to the JISC Plagiarism Detection Service. The report may be freely copied and distributed provided the source is explicitly acknowledged. Ibrahim Sha'ath Department of Computer Science and Information Systems Birkbeck College, University of London Abstract The goal of this work is to develop software that can analyse a digital recording of music and estimate the key of the recorded piece, in order to provide, at a glance, some information on its tonal compatibility with other recordings. Section 1 describes the motivation for automated key classification to sup- port disc jockeys with a computer-enabled workflow. It presents some basic music theory to clarify the concepts and terms underpinning the project. The scope is established with a statement of requirements for the software. Section 2 describes the project's theoretical approach, comparing it to previous work on the problem. It discusses the algorithms employed, and describes a novel method of translating the output of a Fast Fourier Trans- form into a musical analysis. Section 3 describes the implementation from a software engineering per- spective. It outlines the principles adhered to during development and describes the design of the user interface and classes. The testing strategy is presented. Section 4 describes the experiments conducted to test and optimise the accuracy of the software. It compares the performance of the software to existing products.
