  • God Only Knows: Historia Zespołu the Beach Boys Oraz Albumu Pet Sounds I Ich Wpływ Na Współczesną Muzykę Rozrywkową
    Maciej Smółka God Only Knows: historia zespołu The Beach Boys oraz albumu Pet Sounds i ich wpływ na współczesną muzykę rozrywkową Wstęp W 1966 roku miało miejsce wiele znaczących wydarzeń dla muzyki rozrywko- wej. Spośród nich można wymienić m.in. powstanie The Jimi Hendrix Experien- ce, premierę debiutanckiego albumu Franka Zappy i The Mothers of Invention pt. Freak Out!, ostatni koncert The Beatles czy słynny wypadek motocyklowy Boba Dylana. W tym samym roku, pewnego majowego dnia stała się rzecz, która do dzisiaj kształtuje gusta muzyczne kolejnych pokoleń i odciska na nich piętno – swoją premierę miał wtedy album Pet Sounds zespołu The Beach Boys. Przez wielu zapomniany, mimo to oddziaływujący podświadomie na urozmai- canie nowych nurtów we współczesnej muzyce rozrywkowej na całym świecie. Dzisiaj uznawany za jedno z największych osiągnięć artystycznych, wtedy za niepotrzebny wybryk maszynki do tworzenia przebojów. Obecnie coraz więcej krytyków muzycznych zaczyna badać ogrom zjawiska, którym jest powszechne czerpanie wzorców z The Beach Boys, lecz charakter naukowy stanowi niewielki procent tego procederu. Widoczne inspirowanie się tym zespołem istniało już od kilku dekad, lecz stało się jeszcze bardziej po- pularne po długo oczekiwanym wydaniu w 2004 roku albumu Smile autorstwa głównego kompozytora i założyciela The Beach Boys Briana Wilsona. Płyta została wydana po 37 latach od stworzenia i przez ten okres zdążyła osiągnąć status legendarnej1. Krążek, zaraz po premierze, uzyskał ogólnoświatowe uzna- 1 J.

  • Digital Narratives: a Study of the Arcade Fire Interactive Music Videos
    Comunicação e Sociedade, vol. 27, 2015, pp. 387 – 402 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.27(2015).2108 Digital narratives: a study of the Arcade Fire interactive music videos Elisa Maria Rodrigues Barboza Abstract Initially seen as an audiovisual product made mainly for television, the music video, in re- cent years, has been expanding itself and gaining strength in the virtual environment. The possi- bility of easy and quick access through websites such as Vimeo and YouTube, besides the greater freedom these sites offer in comparison to the schedules of television channels, was only the beginning of the process of this format’s creative development. Its embracing of the technologi- cal changes culminates with the appearance of interactive music videos that strengthen invest- ments made in experiences of digital narratives. In this context, one of the bands that stands out is Arcade Fire, whose trajectory already counts with four interactive audiovisual projects, namely Neon Bible (Vincent Morisset, 2007), Sprawl II (Vincent Morisset, 2010), The Wilderness Dowtown (Chris Milk, 2010) and Just a Reflektor (Vincent Morisset, 2013). Keywords Music video; digital narratives; interactivity; Arcade Fire Definition of Music Video In order to define the term interactive“ music video”, it is necessary to first under- stand the origin and the language of the music video as known in its initial versions, prior to its insertion in the internet. For Soares (2012: 32): “In principle, the video clip was simply called musical number. Then it would be named promo, a direct allusion to the word ‘promotional’. The term video clip would finally be used only from the 80s on.
