    # 1/08 JAN|FEB KAPU ZINE EDITORIAL Salut! Ich spar mir an dieser Stelle den obligatorischen Jahresrückblick! Straight forward lautet die Devise und ich persönlich freu mich auf das kommende Jahr. Programmatisch starten wir mit einer, meiner Meinung nach, durchaus gelungenen Mischung. Neben einigen internationalen Acts, auf die ihr euch schon freuen könnt, kommen auch österreichische und vor allem Linzer MusikerInnen nicht zu kurz, die mindestens die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit verdienen. Zum ersten mal wird Ende Fe- bruar das O-Heim-Mini-Winter-Festival stattfinden. Stationen sind die STWST und die KAPU, die sich neben dem Verein „Open Air Ottensheim“ fürs Programm ver- antwortlich zeigen. Aber das Programm könnt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten ja in aller Ruhe nachlesen. Was passiert ansonsten in der neuen KAPU-Saison? Jahreswechsel ziehen ja meist große Vorsätze und Pläne mit sich. Das ist bei uns nicht anders. Ein Bisschen sei schon mal verraten... Wir sind wie immer voller Wahnsinnsideen und Tatendrang! Für den Jahresanfang stehen zwei Projekte an. Einerseits wird die KAPUtique ihr virtuelles Dahinsiechen endgültig hinter sich lassen und in neuem Glanze im ehemaligen Fiftitu%-Büro im 1. Stock auferstehen. Das Ganze wird natürlich gebührend gefeiert; doch mehr dazu weiter hinten. Ebenfalls geplant ist eine „offene KünstlerInnenwerkstätte“; einen genauen Zeitplan dafür gibt es leider bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht. Doch was nicht ist, das kann noch werden. Gebt uns noch ein wenig Zeit und dann werdet ihr auch über Details und Nutzungsmöglichkeiten umgehend informiert (KAPUzine LeseInnen sind ja immer vorn dabei! Auch wenn es diesmal etwas später kommt, doch auch DruckerInnen verdienen Feier- tagsurlaub.) Ebenfalls in Planung ist ein neuer KAPU-Sampler; die ersten Bands sind angeheuert, die Diskussion um den Titel ist nach kämpferischen Aus- einandersetzungen abgeschlossen und wir sind gespannt, wer aller seinen/Ihren Weg auf diese kleine silberne Scheibe findet.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound. Keywords: electroclash; music producers; studio production; gender; electro; electronic dance music Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture 4(2): 27–47 ISSN 1947-5403 ©2011 Dancecult http://dj.dancecult.net DOI: 10.12801/1947-5403.2012.04.02.02 28 Dancecult 4(2) David Madden is a PhD Candidate (A.B.D.) in Communications at Concordia University (Montreal, QC).

    December 2010 | No. 104 Your FREE Monthly Guide to the New York Jazz Scene aaj-ny.com The THE Bad Ass bad Pulse PLUS Mulgrew Miller • Microscopic Septet • Origin • Event Calendar Many people have spoken to us over the years about the methodology we use in putting someone on our cover. We at AllAboutJazz-New York consider that to be New York@Night prime real estate, if you excuse the expression, and use it for celebrating those 4 musicians who have that elusive combination of significance and longevity (our Interview: Mulgrew Miller Hall of Fame, if you will). We are proud of those who have graced our front page, lamented those legends who have since passed and occasionally even fêted 6 by Laurel Gross someone long deceased who deserved another moment in the spotlight. Artist Feature: Microscopic Septet But as our issue count grows and seminal players are fewer and fewer, we must expand our notion of significance. Part of that, not only in the jazz world, has by Ken Dryden 7 been controversy, those players or groups that make people question their strict On The Cover: The Bad Plus rules about what is or what is not whatever. Who better to foment that kind of 9 by Martin Longley discussion than this month’s On The Cover, The Bad Plus, only the third time in our history that we have featured a group. This tradition-upending trio is at Encore: Lest We Forget: Village Vanguard from the end of December into the first days of January. 10 Bill Smith Johnny Griffin Another band that has pushed the boundaries of jazz, first during the ‘80s but now with an acclaimed reunion, is the Microscopic Septet (Artist Feature).

    BAD 67 ALCHEMY 1 Martin Büsser gewidmet 1968 - 2010 2 WHAT A DIFFERENCE A NIGHT MAKES Ah, Serenade kommt tatsächlich von sereno. Weil sie unter heiterem Himmel stattfindet. Der 10. August 2010 ist so ein Abend, ideal, um ihn beim WÜRZ- BURGER HAFENSOMMER mit dem PORTICO QUARTET zu genießen. Vier le- ger gekleidete Jungmänner entern die schwimmende Bühne hinter dem Heiz- kraftwerk und beginnen, die genial verhuschten Federwölkchen über uns abzu- malen. Duncan Bellamy an den Drums, Milo Fitzpatrick am Kontrabass, Nick Mul- vey klöppelt auf etwas, das sich Hang Drums nennt und aussieht wie drei Wok- pfannen und Jack Wyllie bläst abwechselnd Tenor- und Sopranosaxophon. Sie präsentieren ihr Isla-Programm und wenige Takte genügen, um auf den voll be- setzten Treppenstufen zu begreifen, warum die Londoner für den Mercury Prize 2008 nominiert waren, auf Peter Gabriels Label Real World publizieren und eu- ropaweit als Darlings herumgereicht werden. Der melodische Sound des Hang, einer Percussion-Novität von Panart in Bern, verbreitet mit repetitiven, harmoni- schen Mustern aus nur einer Handvoll Tönen die Wärme und den hypnotischen Sog von Trinidad-Steel-Drums, erinnert stellenweise an Harfenarpeggios, mit bloßen Händen gespielt auch an eine Mbira. Das Quartett lässt in seinen Mustern Debussy und Nyman mit Tortoise vexieren. Fitzpatrick zupft warme Bassriffs. Bellamy tickelt, tüpfelt und wischt dazu funkelnde und federleichte Beats. Und schon ist jeweils der schönste Groove beieinander, etwa bei ‚Dawn Patrol‘ mit seinem simplen Pizzikatodrive, in den Wyllie hell und sanglich betörend einfädelt. Der Clou sind jedoch klangliche Accessoires, die er mit Delay- und Loop-Effekten unterlegt, einfach das Klacken der Klappenmechanik, lang gezogene oder kas- kadierende Dauertöne, das Fiepen einer Melodica.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] WHELAN Free Music and Trash Culture: The Reconfiguration of Musical Value Online Andrew Whelan, University of Wollongong The unprecedented quantity of music now freely available online appears to have peculiarly contradictory consequences for the ‘value’ of music. Music appears to lose value insofar as it is potentially infinitely reproducible at little cost: claims have been made that music thereby loses economic value; and perhaps affective value also. In the first case, music is not worth what it once was because copyright owners are no longer being paid for it. In losing income (the argument goes), less money will be invested in future music production: music therefore becomes less ‘good’ (culturally and aesthetically valuable). In the second case, it is suggested that online superabundance renders music worth less in that personal engagements with it are transient, frivolous, and ad hoc: nobody has time to listen to all that music, and the surfeit implies that musical value thereby depreciates.

  • Dieses Jahr Wird Es Zum Moers Festival Kein Gedrucktes Programmmagazin Geben
    Sie werden es mitbekommen haben: Dieses Jahr wird es zum moers festival kein gedrucktes Programmmagazin geben. Doch nicht der Spardruck allein, der zurzeit auf dem moers festival lastet, hat uns als Redaktion dazu veranlasst, das bisherige Printkonzept ins Internet zu verlegen – als Magazin-Blog innerhalb von moers-festival.de. Vielmehr sind es die vielfältigen und neuen Möglichkeiten von Web 2.0, die uns von der Richtigkeit dieses Schritts überzeugt haben – um das „alte“ Programmmagazin an der Dynamik und Vitalität des Word Wide Web teilhaben zu lassen. Sämtliche Rubriken im moers ferstival Magazin-Blog werden sukzessive in Blogfunktionen bis zum Festivalstart veröffentlicht. Mit einer Blog- typischen Kommentarfunktion können Sie direkt auf die Artikel reagieren – und am „Diskurs“ teilnehmen. Zudem lassen wir einige Musiker tatschlich zu Wort kommen und machen die mit Worten beschriebene Musik für Sie hör- und sichtbar – mit unserem moers festival Podcast etwa, oder mit MySpace- und YouTube-Links. Und über jedes Update in unserem moers festival Magazin-Blog können Sie sich problemlos per „RSS Feed“ informieren lassen. Die dreiteilige Struktur des „alten“ Magazins haben wir beibehalten. Im „Programm“-Teil schreiben Fachjournalisten Beiträge über die Musiker und Bands, die beim Festival auftreten werden. Im „Magazin“-Teil stellen Autoren neue Tendenzen und Strömungen innerhalb der Szene aktueller, improvisierter Musik vor. So hat uns zum Beispiel Hank Shteamer ein Update zu seinem letztjährigen Artikel über die „Young Guns From New York“ geschickt. Wolf Kampmann schaut auf die noch immer fragile Beziehung zwischen Europa und USA – und bringt uns zudem einen (unbeabsichtigen) Festivalschwerpunkt nahe: die neue Rolle der Gitarre in der zeitgenössischen, aktuellen Musik.
