There’s hints of drama, and hints of thriller... pg4 moments, rivaling many action films, with a lot of humor there’s even hints of a mild action film, and some comedy. aftershocks When I think of IMAX… I think National Geographic under the sea films, Star Wars, and The Dark Knight. But let me tell you, Aftershocks is playing a complete different game. Aftershocks is a drama… it’s a tear-jerking, heart-tugging drama. It depicts the story of a family that was forever affected by the 1976 7.8 magnitude in the city of Tangshan, which had a reported death toll of 240 000 people. When I first heard about Aftershocks, not being familiar with Feng’s style, I thought “Oh, China is making their big Hollywood Disaster Film on IMAX” a la 2010 and boy, was I wrong. Sure, the film counts with a luscious (and devastating) sequence that last several long minutes of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake… which felt like a mega-earthquake on screen. However, after that scene, which pretty much starts the film, it aptly turns into a drama telling the struggle of a mother that had to choose between her daughter and her son, and the hurt of a daughter that believes to have been abandoned. The film lasts about 2hrs, and I was possibly in tears in the first few minutes as the earthquake struck, and the audience immediately feels connected to the mom and her inception kids. It instantly reminds me of writers telling me “You need Inception had been the most anticipated film of this hired by Saito (Watanabe) for an impossible task to secure combined with special effects that drags you into the story. something big so your reader believes the connection can Blockbuster season.

  • Spanish Women Composers, a Critical Equation Susan Campos
    Between Left-led Republic and Falangism? Spanish Women Composers, a Critical Equation Susan Campos Fonseca Director, Women’s Studies in Music Research Group Society for Ethnomusicology (SIBE), Spain A Critical Equation The nature of this research depends on the German concept Vergangenheitsbewältigung, a term consisting of the words Vergangenheit (past) and Bewältigung (improvement), equivalent to “critical engagement with the past.”1 This term is internationalized in the sense that it express the particular German problem regarding the involvement that the generations after Second World War had with the Nazis crimes. Germany forced itself to take a leading role in addressing critically their own history. Spain offered in this area for a long time a counterexample. The broader debate on the valuation of the recent past carried out both in politics and in public life only began at the turn of the century, for example in the legislative period from 2004 to 2008 with the “Ley de Memoria” (Memory Law), which sought moral and material compensation for victims of Civil War and Dictatorship.2 But the law is a consequence not a cause. 1 W. L. Bernecker & S. Brinkmann, Memorias divididas. Guerra civil y franquismo en la sociedad y la política españolas (1936-2008) (Madrid: ABADA Ed./Sociedad Estatal de Conmemoraciones Culturales, 2009). [Author’s translation.] 2 Ibid., 8. Therefore, I present this research as a work in progress,3 because today bio- bibliographies devoted to recover the legacy of Spanish women composers during this period show an instrumental absence of this type of analysis, and instead have favored nationalistic appreciations.

  • ALL MY SONS a Play in Three Acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller
    ALL MY SONS a play in three acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller (Keller) Kate Keller (Mother) Chris Keller Ann Deever George Deever Dr. Jim Bayliss (Jim) Sue Bayliss Frank Lubey Lydia Lubey Bert Act One The back yard of the Keller home in the outskirts of an American town. August of our era. The stage is hedged on right and left by tall, closely planted poplars which lend the yard a secluded atmosphere. Upstage is filled with the back of the house and its open, unroofed porch which extends into the yard some six feet. The house is two stories high and has seven rooms. It would have cost perhaps fifteen thousand in the early twenties when it was built. Now it is nicely painted, looks tight and comfortable, and the yard is green with sod, here and there plants whose season is gone. At the right, beside the house, the entrance of the driveway can be seen, but the poplars cut off view of its continuation downstage. In the left corner, downstage, stands the four‐foot‐high stump of a slender apple tree whose upper trunk and branches lie toppled beside it, fruit still clinging to its branches. Downstage right is a small, trellised arbor, shaped like a sea shell, with a decorative bulb hanging from its forward‐curving roof. Carden chairs and a table are scattered about. A garbage pail on the ground next to the porch steps, a wire leaf‐burner near it. On the rise: It is early Sunday morning. Joe Keller is sitting in the sun reading the want ads of the Sunday paper, the other sections of which lie neatly on the ground beside him.

Genre: Jazz, R&B Format: CD, Digital Even though she was zoned for George Washington High School, Lakecia was encouraged her to pursue music at La Guardia High School, a popular school for young artists, such as Marcus Miller and Nicki Minaj. At her audition for LaGuar- dia, Bob Stewart, the music director for the school, advised her that she was playing all the right notes but not in the right style. Having only Dominican inuences in her repertoire, Lakecia was unaware of the Jazz greats, but stated bluntly, “I don’t know anything about Jazz Sir; all I know is you have to let me in to this school.” Stewart could see the talent in Benjamin, and so he sent her home with a few names – Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and John Coltrane. She listened and quickly learned their style. Lakecia was nally accepted to attend LaGuardia High School. With her talent, drive, and just a saxophone as her passport, Lakecia was set on her journey from the streets of Washington Heights to the expansive world of Jazz. As she shared her music to wider audiences, Lakecia Benjamin quickly gained recognition.

    TwitterBrainz what music do people share on Twitter? February 15, 2015 Open Data Project Research and Innovation Quim Llimona Àngel Farguell Modelling for Science and Engineering Abstract In this report we present TwitterBrainz, an interactive, real-time visualization of what songs are people posting on Twitter. Our system uses the MusicBrainz and Acous- ticBrainz APIs to identify the songs and extract acoustic metadata from them, which is displayed along with metadata from the tweet itself using a scatterplot metaphor for easy exploration. Clicking one of the dots/tweets/songs plays it back using the Tomahawk API, which can be used for reinventing our app into a music discovery tool.

Since we are both musicians, we thought it had to be about visualizing music, in any of its forms. We knew about the AcousticBrainz API, which provides acoustic information about commercial songs, and found in Twitter a great opportunity for integration. The original idea was to find tweets from users that referenced the user was listening to a particular song, find metadata about that song, and then plot the metadata along with features extracted from the tweet itself, looking for correlations. For instance, one could expect that in work days people listen to more relaxed music than during the weekend.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.
