  • Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-Rock, 1950–2019
    Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-rock, 1950–2019 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas J. Shea, M.A., B.Ed. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Anna Gawboy, Advisor and Dissertation Co-Advisor Nicole Biamonte, Dissertation Co-Advisor Daniel Shanahan David Clampitt Copyright by Nicholas J. Shea 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between guitar performance and the functional components of musical organization in popular-music songs from 1954 to 2019. Under an ecological theory of affordances, three distinct interdisciplinary approaches are employed: empirical analyses of two stylistically contrasting databases of popular-music song transcriptions, a motion-capture study of performances by practicing musicians local to Columbus, Ohio, and close readings of works performed and/or composed by popular- music guitarists. Each offers gestural analyses that provide an alternative to the object- oriented approach of standard popular-music analysis, as well as clarification on issues related to style, such as the socially determined differences between “pop” and “rock” music. ii Dedication To Anna Gawboy, who is always in my corner. iii Acknowledgments Here I face the nearly insurmountable task of thanking those who have helped to develop this research. Even as all written and analytical content in this document is my own, I cannot deny the incredible value collaboration has brought to this inherently interdisciplinary study. I am extremely fortunate to have a small team of individuals on which I can rely for mentorship and support and whose research backgrounds contribute greatly to the domains of this document.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 08.03.2018 Beach House Im
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 08.03.2018 Beach House im Oktober mit neuem Album auf Tour Die Sieben steht im Zentrum: Das kommende siebte Album von Beach House trägt den Titel „7“, und insgesamt hat das Duo aus Baltimore damit 77 Titel gemeinsam veröffentlicht. Die Dream-Pop-Band will mit dem neuen Werk nichts anderes erreichen als sich zu verjüngen, noch einmal neu anzufangen. Im vergangenen Jahr habe man mit „B-Sides And Rarities“ das Kreativklosett durchgespült und alte Ideen zu Bett gebracht. Jetzt geht es wieder neu los. Eingespielte Methoden wurden überdacht, Limitierungen verworfen, nicht mehr ausschließlich auf die Live-Tauglichkeit geachtet. Auf „7“ finden sich Tracks ohne Gitarre oder ohne Keyboards, Stücke, die Lage für Lage kompliziert übereinandergeschichtet worden sind, Produktionen, die niemals auf der Bühne so gespielt werden können. Es ging nur noch um die kreative Stimmung statt um die Wahl der Instrumente. Klang war alles, alles andere hatte sich unterzuordnen. Eine große Rolle spielte auch der gesellschaftliche Irrsinn, der im vergangenen Jahr durch die Vereinigten Staaten rollte. Dabei ist keineswegs nur die Präsidentschaft Trumps gemeint, sondern vor allem die Diskussionen um die Rolle der Frauen in der Gesellschaft. In der Welt herrsche Chaos genug, sagen Sängerin und Keyboarderin Victoria Legrand und Gitarrist und Keyboarder Alex Scally, darum sei „7“ ein möglichst simpler Titel einer großen neuen Platte. Wie das Ganze sich live anhören wird: lassen wir uns überraschen. Beach House arbeiten im Moment an ihrer neuen Show und kommen damit im Oktober zu uns auf Tour.

  • Presse Tindersticks
    Medieninformation FM4 präsentiert tindersticks The Something Rain-Tour 2012 „Noch einmal gelingt den englischen Romantikern ein furioses poetisches Meisterwerk.“ Rolling Stone Magazin 19 Jahre nach Veröffentlichung ihres Debüt-Albums, präsentiert eine der vielleicht wichtigsten, definitiv aber eigenwilligsten Independent Pop-Bands Großbritanniens, das Programm ihres brandneuen (neunten) Albums "The Something Rain" - in ausgesuchten Locations und in exklusivem Theater-Rahmen! Es heißt (die) tindersticks führten "Shakespeare'sche Tragik in den Alternative Rock ein", und laut Der Spiegel gibt es niemand, der "tristem Liebesleid ähnlich elegant etwas abgewinnen könne", wie die 1991 in Nottingham (GB) gegründete Independent Pop-Formation. Die Namensgebung geht auf die zufällige Begegnung ihres (stets leicht die Töne verschluckenden) Sängers, "Berufsmelancholikers" & Gitarristen Stuart A. Staples, mit einer achtlos weggeworfenen Streichholzschachtel während eines Griechenland-Urlaubes zurück. Der Rest ist zwei Jahrzehnte währende Geschichte, von tindersticks gefüllt mit ihrem ganz eigenen, unverkennbaren Sound und ihrer eigene Klang-Ästhetik. Staples Einsatz seines Baritons, "dem wir gebannt zuhören würden, selbst wenn er das Telefonbuch singt", wie das Magazin TBA zum 2010 erschienenen Album „Falling Down A Mountain" formulierte, erweiterte die Definition des Begriffs „Soul“. Die oftmals kammermusikalisch anmutende Umsetzung ihrer Songs führte zu zahlreichen Instrumental-Arbeiten etwa für Film-Soundtracks – dabei sind tindersticks Songs schon

No queríamos –ni queremos– limitarnos por la extensión EDITORIAL de los artículos que les presentamos en cada una de nuestras ediciones. Como dijimos esa vez: si la historia es entretenida y tiene seis, ocho o diez páginas, la vamos a publicar en su totali- dad. Como corresponde y como creemos que se merecen los ar- tistas que entregan todo lo que tienen por el amor a lo que hacen. Creemos que sus historias, vivencias y experiencias pueden ayudar a aquellos que están en ese mismo camino, a encontrar una luz que los haga perseverar en lo que están haciendo. Al final, una buena historia siempre te dejará algo valioso. Puede que sea una enseñanza, quizás una moraleja o tal vez algo más simple: te permitirá no cometer los mismos errores que alguien ya cometió. Sabíamos que nuestros primeros tres números eran probable- mente los más importantes que tendríamos que hacer en mu- cho tiempo. Y para ser honestos, nunca imaginamos que esta tercera edición se desarrollaría de esta manera. Siempre hemos sido optimistas, pero centrados, acerca de los contenidos que queríamos presentarles y nuestra capacidad para realizarlos a pesar de las distancias que tenemos con el resto del mundo. Si nos hubieran dicho, cuando estábamos partiendo con este pro- yecto, que para nuestro tercer número íbamos a tener cuatro en- trevistas exclusivas para Sudamérica, no lo hubiéramos creído.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Vooral in thuisland Engeland is de 24-jarige, singer- songwriter van Oegandese afkomst nog voor zijn debuutalbum is verschenen bijzonder succesvol; hij won zo’n beetje alle debutantenprijzen. Ook op het Europese continent begint Kiwanuka’s naam Kyteman – The Hermit Sessions Daniel Lohues – Hout Moet Erwin Nyhoff – Take Your Time rond te zingen. De single Home Again was al prominent aanwezig in De Wereld Draait Door en staat bovendien op nummer 1 in België. Is het, nu de debuut-cd Home Again zo’n beetje in de winkel ligt, al deze commotie waard? Ja, zeker. In feite is dit rijk geproduceerde en sterk ouderwetse soul- album zó sterk dat de single Home Again nog wel samenvloeien in een warme sound. De soul, blues en het minst sterke liedje lijkt.

  • Beach House on Creating Your Own World
    July 17, 2017 - Beach House is a Baltimore-based band comprised of vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally. Since forming in 2004 the band have released six full-length albums. This summer the duo released the self-explanatory B-Sides and Rarities. When asked to explain the deeply intimate nature of the band’s creative process, Legrand offers the following: “It's very strange, sometimes. It feels like one mind, two bodies, four hands.” As told to T. Cole Rachel, 2352 words. Tags: Music, Focus, Inspiration, Process, Collaboration, Success. Beach House on creating your own world Your band is off the road and in-between albums. Does that mean you’re working on new music or are you taking a break? Victoria: It’s not super busy, but we’re always working on stuff. I think it’s just normal. We’re not really off right now. We’re not on vacation or anything. Something I’ve realized about us is that when we say we’re taking time off, it’s not ever as long as we think it’s going to be. Alex: There’s something about getting a little bit older where it starts to feel like once you stop, you die. Victoria: That’s what John Waters said to us. He said, “Don’t blink.” Alex: When we were younger, we would get back from tour, and be like, “That was so exhausting. I’m not going to do anything for like a month.” Now the idea of a month without doing anything is this horror of wasted time that you’ll never get back.
