Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

Article Moondog
! MOONDOG, DÉDALUS & MUZZIX ROUND THE WORLD OF SOUND NEW WORLD RECORDS, CD, 80774-2 – 2016 Nous sommes bien étranges, dans cette revue... En 1994, le compositeur Moon- dog (1916-1999) ne jouissait pas encore de ce succès revival qu’il connaît au- jourd’hui. Il était surtout une icône pour musiciens tels Frank Zappa, Janis Joplin, Tom Waits, Jimmy Mc Griff, Charlie Parker ou Stéphane Eicher. Pourtant, dans le n°22 de décembre 1994, Laurent Jullier écrivait un article sur Moondog; Philippe Robert ﬁt de même dans le n°64 de juin 2005 ; puis des livres sur lui ont été chroniqués ; mais personne n’a encore chroniqué ce CD, qui en raconte long aux oreilles sur ce compositeur. Peut-être parce que certains musiciens participant à ce projet sont d’éminents membres de la revue : Barbara Dang est responsable de publication, et Didier Aschour membre du comité de rédaction. Ceci d’ailleurs tendrait à prouver une cer- taine cohérence artistique des membres de la revue. Faut- il peut-être y voir aussi une extrême délicatesse, les rédacteurs préférant partager ce qui est « autre »... Ce projet Moondog réunit l’ensemble Dédalus, spécialisé depuis 20 ans dans l’interprétation du répertoire minima- liste américain – cette musique contem- poraine expérimentale, comme aime à le dire son directeur artistique Didier Aschour – et certains membres du collec- tif lillois Muzzix. Avec Didier Aschour, Christian Pruvost a codirigé cet ensemble de 14 musicien(ne)s talentueux(ses) réu- nis pour ce disque. Notons la présence exceptionnelle de l’éclectique Nathalie Duong au chant : rien que pour elle ce disque mérite de trouver sa place dans toute discothèque digne de ce nom ; et toujours au chant, et c’est surprenant, Deborah Walker, que nous connaissons surtout comme brillantissime violoncel- liste.

Fall Concert 2014 ! ! Odd Combo ! This Piece Uses Sounds Taken from Everyday Life As Well As Long Tonal Sounds
! ! ! The University of Iowa Electronic Music Studios present ! Fall Concert! 2014 Chimespace is a combination of two principal ideas: the ringing of bells and the area in which these Lawrence Fritts, Director sounds are heard. My source material derives from recordings of table bells and handbells that are part of my personal collection. In this composition I explore the relationship between the !onset of a bell and its decay and how that sound envelops the listener. Jonathan Wilson is a second-year doctoral student studying music composition with David Gompper at the University of Iowa. Jonathan received his Master of Music and Bachelor of Music degrees in music composition from Western Illinois University. He has studied with Lawrence Fritts, James Romig, James Caldwell, Paul Paccione, and John Cooper. His compositional process tends to follow a concept-oriented approach, which generates the structural ideas for his works. Jonathan is a member of the Society of Composers, Inc., SEAMUS, the Iowa Composers Forum, and the American Composers Forum. ! IC1223 is a sound installation located in the lobby of the Becker Communication Studies Building. The installation explores two different soundscapes in Iowa City; sounds of the day from 1-2 PM, and the very early morning, 2-3 AM. Four computers process gathered field recordings to reveal the many different types of sounds contained in the overall soundscape. Part 1 started before tonight’s concert began, and was a transition from Night to Day. Part 2 will begin immediately after the penultimate !piece, and will transition from Day to Night recordings. Jonah Elrod is a PhD student studying music composition at the University of Iowa.

Pamphlet of Moondog's Rhymes Published
Pamphlet of Moondog’s rhymes published - The Wire file:///C:/Users/RB/Desktop/moondog/Pamphlet of Moondog’s rhymes... Pamphlet of Moondog’s rhymes published 26|02|2016 The French imprint Lenka Lente has published a slim volume of poetic couplets by the late US composer, instrument inventor and street musician Louis Hardin aka Moondog. Called 50 Couplets, the 40 page bilingual pamphlet includes the original English and French translations of Moondog’s words of wisdom, which he typically expressed in two line rhymes. “I discovered Moondog’s poetry for the first time by listening to his first recordings, especially More Moondog, which contains the “Moondog Monologue”,” says Lenka Lente’s Guillaume Belhomme via email. “I found more about his poetry on Moondog’s Corner, the great website run by Wolfgang Gnida, including the original version of 50 Couplets, and I thought it would be great to translate it into French.” Moondog’s 50 Couplets is the latest in Lenka Lente’s series of French language texts of 20th century avant garde writings, which ranges from Italian futurist Francesco Balilla Pratella to US saxophone pioneer Jackie McLean. Moondog’s discography is relatively small but his music grabbed the imaginations of wildly different musicians, including US minimalists like Steve Reich and Philip Glass, and UK jazz 1 sur 2 29/02/2016 10:23 Pamphlet of Moondog’s rhymes published - The Wire file:///C:/Users/RB/Desktop/moondog/Pamphlet of Moondog’s rhymes... composer Kenny Graham. However, his poetry preceded his music records. “We always read about Moondog as a poet – blind and dressed like a Viking, of course, to catch the attention of possible new listeners,” states Belhomme.

Glass, Moondog est vite devenu un véritable gourou pour toute une partie de mélomanes.

Popular Music, Popular Myth and Cultural Heritage in Cleveland Emerald Studies in POPULAR Music and Place
POPULAR MUSIC, POPULAR MYTH AND CULTURAL HERITAGE IN CLEVELAND EMERALD STUDIES IN POPULAR MUSIC AND PLACE Series Editors: Brett Lashua, Leeds Beckett University, UK Stephen Wagg, Leeds Beckett University, UK Studies of the relations between popular music and place offer rich conceptual and empirical terrain. This interdisciplinary book series publishes research on popular music and its geo-spatial relations by scholars working in the wider dis- ciplines and subject fields of popular music studies, cultural geography, cultural studies, sociology, urban studies, youth studies, leisure studies, and beyond. Titles in the series focus not only on specific cities, but also rural and suburban places, alternative or marginal spaces, online spaces, and other music geogra- phies, for example, histories of vanished or erased places, music tourist attrac- tions, thanatological spaces (e.g., cemeteries and other memorializations for deceased musicians), music museums, and so on. The series promotes work by scholars interested in popular music, place and space, cultural identities, globali- zation, history, and cultural heritage. In turn, the book series offers a critical space for scholars to theorize about the changing place of popular music where it is encountered, enjoyed, and contested.
