The platinum- selling singer-songwriter continues her legacy of ground-breaking recordings with this 21st century song cycle inspired by select classi- cal pieces spanning the last 400 years. With “Night of Hunters”, Amos carries on the classical tradition of variations on a theme: taking inspiration from classical forms to create a bold new work while paying tribute to the mastery of the original compositions. With more than 12 million albums sold and multiple Grammy nominations, Tori Amos, a pioneer across multiple platforms, is one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation.

Coverscaping: Discovering Album Aesthetics. Museum Tusculanum Press. 2 Abstract The Pomegranate Cycle is a practice-led enquiry consisting of a creative work and an exegesis. This project investigates the potential of self-directed, technologically mediated composition as a means of reconfiguring gender stereotypes within the operatic tradition. This practice confronts two primary stereotypes: the positioning of female performing bodies within narratives of violence and the absence of women from authorial roles that construct and regulate the operatic tradition. The Pomegranate Cycle redresses these stereotypes by presenting a new narrative trajectory of healing for its central character, and by placing the singer inside the role of composer and producer. During the twentieth and early twenty-first century, operatic and classical music institutions have resisted incorporating works of living composers into their repertory.

Some of these people have been involved in music for ten years or more, others not so long. The idea was to discuss background and development, as well as current and long-term musical projects. Benedict Moleta [email protected] Ben Stewart (Filmmaker) Were you born in Perth ? Yeah, I was born in Mt Lawley. You've been working on a music documentary for a while now, what's it about ? I started shooting footage mid 2008. I'm making a feature documentary about a bunch of bands over a period of time, it's an unscientific longitudinal study of sorts. It's a long process because I want to make an observational documentary with the narrative structure of a fiction film. I'm trying to capture a coming of age cliché but character arcs take a lot longer in real life. I remember reading once that rites of passage are good things to structure narratives around, so that's what I'm going to do, who am I to argue with a text book? Fair call. I guess one of the characteristics of bands developing or "coming of age" is that things can emerge, change, pass away and be reconfigured quickly.

    Music article From a homeless street musician in Nashville to a top-selling artist in Sweden - The remarkable story of Doug Seegers (by J.

In one of the most popular episodes during the first season of the show in 2014, Johnson and her guest Magnus Carlson - singer of the popular Swedish band “Weeping Willows” which has collaborated with Oasis member Andy Bell on several occasions - met the 62-year old homeless street musician Doug Seegers who was performing on a park bench in Nashville. A street vendor recommended Johnson and Carlson to check out Seegers, and both were immediately impressed by Seeger’s voice. He tells them that he “lives in a place where he doesn’t have to pay rent - under a bridge”, and then brings them out to a church where homeless people are Seegers with Johnson on offered free food and clothes. During the visit, Seegers plays the cover of their joint his own song ”Going Down To The River”, which impressed album “In Tandem” Johnson and Carlson so much that they returned some time later and offered to record the song with Seegers in Johnny Cash’s old studio in Nashville. Seegers became an overnight sensation in Sweden after the episode was broadcast, and “Going Down To The River” was number 1 on the Swedish iTunes charts for 12 consecutive days.

  • Views, We Study How Preregistration Has Been Used from Its 2005 Inception to the End of 2012
    COPYRIGHT PREREGISTRATION: EVIDENCE AND LESSONS FROM THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS, 2005–2012 * ** Dotan Oliar & Nicholas Matich In 2005 Congress created a new copyright formality: preregistration. Preregistration addresses a growing phenomenon in which copyrighted works are leaked to the Internet prior to official release. Preregistering a work allows copyright owners immediate access to courts and an expanded menu of remedies. Based on an originally constructed dataset coupled with user interviews, we study how preregistration has been used from its 2005 inception to the end of 2012. Over 6,000 works have been preregistered in six eligible categories. Several lawsuits were filed in reliance on preregistrations. Most preregistrations are of motion pictures and literary works. Substantial commercial use of the system has been limited to the movie and TV industries. The music, publishing, and computer software industries virtually have not used it in the ordinary course of business. A few particular users have preregistered a great number of works. Different from the use anticipated by Congress, preregistrations were often obtained after infringement (or even a business dispute) had already started. Most preregistrations were made by individual, small-entity, or other one-time users. The Article recommends that: (1) the duration of preregistrations should be limited; and (2) preregistration (and other copyright) fees should vary with entity size. It offers lessons for formalities and copyright reform: (1) Digital-age formalities may not give rise to the distributional concerns that characterized old formalities; (2) newly minted formalities may limit, rather than expand, access to expressive works; (3) the rates of subsequent registration of preregistered works vary across categories and can inform copyright lawmaking; and (4) the Copyright Office’s views may be affected by its institutional interest.

  • Jill Furmanovsky Interview
    Jill Furmanovsky interview SB: Where did you get your first break with rock photography? JF: I went to the Rainbow theatre which was a rock and roll venue in Finsbury Park. I had tickets to see the band Yes and I took the college camera and while I was there I thought if I had the college camera and it looked professional I might be able to go down and join the press photographers in the pit and that was indeed what I was able to do and I took one roll of film and at the end of the concert, two of the professional photographers offered me their job of their official Rainbow theatre photographer. Even though I was inexperienced, they said you'd get a pass - access all areas and your expenses but no fee, but who could refuse such an offer. SB: Was it difficult to capturing the moment in New York for the Madness picture that the NPG has? JF: Oh, Madness in New York, they were very misunderstood by the Americans, they did not understand the zany humour at all. I remember the band had just come downstairs from visiting Warner Brothers record company where all 8 of them piled into an elevator and poured out at the 15th floor, or wherever the reception was, and fell to the ground to worship the Warner Brothers logo, and the welcoming committee just stood there completely baffled. That's what I remember about Madness in New York, the Americans not understanding them. The other thing about Madness is that they set up their own shots and the photographer just has to wait and they would organise the entire thing.
