  • World's Most Influential Electronic Artists Trust Avid Live Sound Systems at Moogfest
    April 30, 2014 World's Most Influential Electronic Artists Trust Avid Live Sound Systems at Moogfest Industry's Most Popular Touring Systems Deliver Power and Reliability to Help Main Stage Artists Including Kraftwerk and Chic Featuring Nile Rodgers Connect With Audiences Like Never Before BURLINGTON, Mass., April 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avid® (OTC:AVID) today announced that its live sound systems were selected to record and mix headline performances at Moogfest, an annual five-day technology, art and music festival featuring some of the world's most influential electronic artists. Moogfest, which celebrates the visionary and creative spirit of Bob Moog, inventor of the Moog synthesizer and founding father of electronic music, took place on April 23-27 in Asheville, North Carolina. For the main stage, which hosted headline acts including electronic music legends Kraftwerk, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, and M.I.A., Moogfest needed a powerful and reliable front of house console that could cope with the size, scope and complexity of the headliners' live sound requirements. As the headline artists' live system of choice, the Avid Profile System was the house console for the main stage, while the ultra- compact Avid S3L System was the main stage recording console. Every stage throughout the festival used Avid Pro Tools® audio production software to record the live music performances. Pro Tools is a flagship application of the Avid Artist Suite of content creation applications, powered by the Avid MediaCentral Platform. "Avid live sound systems deliver performance and reliability and are the standard for headline acts," said KamranV, Moogfest documentation producer and CEO of CyKiK.

    An undiscovered island. An epic journey. An illustrious ship. Known just by its name and its logo, GALANTIS could be all or none of these things. A Google search only turns up empty websites and social pages, and mention of a one-off A-Trak collaboration. Is it beats? Art? Something else entirely? At the most basic level, GALANTIS is two friends making music together. The fact that they’re Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson of Miike Snow and Linus Eklow, aka Style of Eye, is what changes the plot. The accomplished duo’s groundbreaking work as GALANTIS destroys current electronic dance music tropes, demonstrating that emotion and musicianship can indeed coexist with what Eklow calls “a really really big kind of vibe.” “GALANTIS is about challenging, not following.” says Karlsson. Karlsson should know about shaking things up. As half of production duo Bloodshy & Avant, he reinvented pop divas like Madonna, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue in the early 2000s. He co-wrote and produced Spears’ stunning, career-changing single “Toxic” to the tune of a 2005 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Since then he’s been breaking more ground as one-third of mysterious, jackalobe-branded band Miike Snow. The trio’s two albums, 2009’s self-titled debut and 2011’s Happy To You, fuse the warm pulse of dance music with inspired songcraft, spanning rock, indie, pop and soul. And they recreated that special synthesis live, playing over 300 shows, including big stages like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Ultra Music Festival. As Style of Eye, Eklow has cut his own path through the wilds of electronic music for the last decade, defying genre and releasing work on a diverse swath of labels including of- the-moment EDM purveyors like Fool’s Gold, OWSLA and Refune; and underground stalwarts like Classic, Dirtybird and Pickadoll.

  • JOHN ROBERTS - GLASS EIGHTS (CD, Do-LP) DIAL RECORDS (Distribution by KOMPAKT) Release Date: 27Th of September 2010 by Brooke Chroman
    TextText Text OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE JOHN ROBERTS - GLASS EIGHTS (CD, Do-LP) DIAL RECORDS (distribution by KOMPAKT) Release date: 27th of September 2010 by Brooke Chroman In 2008 John Roberts was asked by Carsten Jost, Pantha Du Prince and Lawrence to be the first American artist on the influential german Dial Records imprint. His releases for Dial and sister label Laid have all received major accolades for their distinct and refined aesthetic. Roberts currently lives in Berlin and performs regularly in Europe's preeminent clubs. His first full-length album debuts a sound impeccably curated! GLASS EIGHTS weaves a fragile lace of melancholy punctuated by intricate 808 patterns, as a synthesized splice confronts the pull of a violin in minor key; the echoes of a disco clap pierce the loom of a somber piano refrain. The narrative of a classic house track begins to deconstruct and unravel itself as Roberts reveals something off-kilter, darker and contemplative of its own genre. This self-reflexive quality is, in part, caused by Roberts’ hyper-acute sense of percussion: a beat drops just after instinct beckons and seems to both unravel and collect itself, resulting in tracks that negotiate the space between a solitary night with headphones and the center of a packed dance floor. With its contemplative instrumental weave, GLASS EIGHTS asks broader cultural questions about the psychological function of music as it blurs distinctions between sublimation and expression, escape and confrontation, medication and symptom, repression and reserve. The electric and grand piano, organ, violin, modular synthesizers and eclectic percussion split, shatter and reform, disclosing an aesthetic sensibility which delicately reflects on the eerie stillness of a grey day, the repetition of a single note on a detuned upright piano, a deflated balloon, the white of a funeral arrangement, exhibiting a kind of discrete, perverse hopefulness.

    H-France Review Volume 19 (2019) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 19 (May 2019), No. 65 Jacques Amblard and Emmanuel Aymès, Micromusique et ludismes régressifs depuis 2000. Aix-en- Provence: Presses Universitaires de Provence, 2017. 124 pages. Illustrations, cartes. 7 € (broché). ISBN: 9791032001233. Review by Edward Campbell, University of Aberdeen. Micromusique et ludismes régressifs depuis 2000 by Jacques Amblard and Emmanuel Aymès is a slim volume at 124 pages, but nevertheless a fascinating exploration of a contemporary musical phenomenon. Setting out from the concept of “le redevenir-enfant,” a phrase with more than a hint of the Deleuzian about it (though the philosopher is not mentioned in the text), the book examines a tendency towards infantilisation which the authors trace to the 1830s but which has become much more evident in more recent times with the sociological identification of the “adulescent” in the 1970s and 1980s, certain developments in the plastic arts from the late 1980s, in certain strains of popular music that arose with the availability of personal computers in the late 1980s and 1990s, and finally in aspects of Western art music [“musique savante”] from the new millennium. What Amblard and Aymès term micromusic is also known as chiptune or 8-bits, the post-punk music of geeks and hackers with whom game technologies such as Game Boy are transformed into sources and instruments for music-making. While this, for the authors, is ostensibly regressive and nothing less than the “acme” of infantilisation, it signals at the same time, as the back cover notes, the “subtile inversion” of the player-musician into an anti-consumer within processes of alternative globalisation.
