Herzlich Willkommen Vor Kurzem habe ich im Vorbeigehen gelesen: „Nur wer sich verändert, bleibt unverwechselbar.“ Ich war irritiert. Bisher dachte ich, Veränderung und Unverwechselbarkeit seien vonei- nander getrennt. Aber es stimmt. Veränderung ist ein wesentli- cher Kern des Lebens. Wir verändern uns permanent und genau damit schärfen wir unseren Charakter und unsere Identität. Und schnell wurde mir klar, dass wir unseren „Gruß aus der Küche“ neu, verändert und unverwechselbar zugleich gestalten. Was Sie nun in Händen halten, hat viel mit unseren Aktivitäten, unseren Partnern und unseren Planungen gemeinsam - kurzum: es hat ganz viel mit uns zu tun. Und es hat etwas damit zu tun, Welcome dass wir gerne nachhaltiger werden und dazu erste Schritte EDITORIAL unternehmen wollen. Im Sommer haben wir unseren 10. Geburtstag gefeiert. Es Recently, I read in passing: “Only those who change stay unmis- war ein wunderbares Fest. Schönes Wetter, glückliche Gäste takable.” That confused me at first. I’d always thought change and und ein grandioses Erlebnis. Auf einmal habe ich gemerkt, was unmistakability were two separate things. But it’s true. Change is sich in diesen 10 Jahren alles verändert hat. Eine Entwicklung, an essential core of life. We’re constantly changing, and it’s exactly die ich mir nicht hätte vorstellen können. Viele Freunde haben that which sharpens our character and identity. I soon realized we’re uns auf dem Weg unterstützt. Zahlreiche Kunden, Mitarbeiter, designing our “Gruß aus der Küche” in a way that’s new, changed, Freunde und Partner haben wir in der Zeit gewonnen.

A record first Kickstarted by dedicated fans, it quietly became a much-loved album, before the involvement of Hits The Fan sparked a surge in critical acclaim. Its recognition spread further still when it won Scottish Album of the Year Award (the longlist included Young Fathers, Belle and Sebastian, Mogwai and Paolo Nutini). An album eulogised within six months was born of many years of low-key endeavour; prior to 2015’s organic rise Kathryn was regarded as one of Scotland's best-kept secrets. Prodigiously talented but stubbornly concealed, her voice possesses other- worldly qualities; tremulous, seemingly fragile yet brimming with strength. Joanna Newsom and Björk are often conjured, but Kathryn is by no means of an ilk. Perhaps better compared with Anohni, she is an artist in every way – unique, soulful and with a core of beautiful, unnerving truth.

    FESTIVALGUIDE Die komplette Übersicht – 550 Festivals an 22 Wochenenden Webdatenbanken sind möglicherweise vollständig. Sie zeigen aber nur Suchresultate oder lange Scrollisten mit Titeln. Darum: Das TRACKS Magazin präsentiert den vollständigsten Festivalguide der Schweiz, den es in gedruckter Form gibt. Auf den folgenden Seiten: Die wichtigsten Musikfestivals und Openairs in der Übersicht mit Schwerpunkt auf die erste Sommerhälfte. Noch vor fünfzehn Jahren fand eine Lis- te aller Schweizer Musikfestivals und Openairs auf einer Seite Platz. Üblicher- weise lag das Programm der grossen Anlässe damals jeweils vor Ostern noch unter Verschluss, manche rückten gar erst gegen Pfingsten mit ihren Headli- nern raus. Das hat sich im Internetzeit- alter drastisch geändert. Im Buhlen um möglichst viele früh verkaufte Tickets werden schon vor Weihnachten erste grosse Namen publiziert. Als das Open- air St.Gallen vor zwei Jahren Die To- ten Hosen bereits am letzten Festival- tag der Vorjahres bekannt gab, wurde TRACKS Festivalguide: ein Damm gebrochen. Das Resultat: Der Produktion: Selica.ch Media Run auf die Tickets begann von da an im Auftrag von TRACKS wesentlich früher.

  • Hair's N O Te
    Production Catalogue Production 1 Chair’s Note Chair’s Telling Irish stories on screen and supporting Irish creative talent telling these stories has always been a key focus of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB). Over the past year we have shown that these stories are enjoyed by audiences both at home and globally and have again proven what we believe to be the strength of Irish creative talent on screen. We are working on two major initiatives in 2016: the launch of a five year strategy for the IFB and a joint IFB/BAI Strategy on Training. We expect to publish both of these reports in the spring of 2016. They will then form the basis of future planning and development across the sector in the coming years. In 2015, the IFB acknowledged the underrepresentation of women in the Irish film industry. This is an issue which cannot be ignored. Actions are needed to address the gender inequality issue and the IFB is concerned enough to act and take a lead on this matter. We have outlined the measures we will be taking to address the problem and we are eager to implement them in 2016 and beyond. I took the role of Acting Chair of the IFB this year after the sudden passing of our esteemed Chairman Bill O’Herlihy. In his two years as Chairman of the IFB, Bill was a tireless advocate of the Irish film industry and his hands-on approach to the role was a clear indicator of his enthusiasm. We at the IFB were proud to call him a colleague and a friend and he is greatly missed.

Mai begann für den Veranstalter FKP Scorpio die Festivalsaison mit dem Elbjazz Festival im Hamburger Hafen und sie endete am Sonntag 17. August mit dem Ausklang vom Highfield Festival bei Leipzig und der 20-jährigen Jubiläumsausgabe des Chiemsee Summers . Alles in allem organisierte das Hamburger Unternehmen in 2014 sieben Open Air Festivals innerhalb Deutschlands und sechs im europäischen Ausland. Zwischen Mai und August zeichnete FKP Scorpio allein in Deutschland auch für die Durchführung von Hurricane und Southside im Juni, die beide so früh wie noch nie ausverkauft waren, das Deichbrand Festival im Juli und das M’era Luna im August verantwortlich. Auch die beiden letztgenannten Veranstaltungen durften sich am jeweiligen Festivalwochenende das „Sold Out“- Schild an die Brust kleben. Doch damit nicht genug, die Festivals, die FKP Scorpio im europäischen Ausland gemeinsam mit örtlichen Partnern veranstaltet, waren ebenfalls überwiegend erfolgreich: Das Greenfield Festival in der Schweiz feierte im Juni 10-jähriges Jubiläum und lud dazu Linkin Park, Iron Maiden, Soundgarden, Dropkick Murphys und weitere illustre Gäste ein. Am gleichen Wochenende tanzten beim Indian Summer Festival in den Niederlanden die Besucher zu Lily Allen, Milow, Tom Odell, Birdy, Chase & Status und namhaften holländischen Bands. Und auch in Dänemark, beim mit 30.000 Besuchern frühzeitig ausverkauften Northside , wurden bei bestem Festivalwetter die Auftritte von Lana del Ray, The National, WhoMadeWho, Arcade Fire, Queens Of The Stone Age und anderer dänischer und internationaler Acts bejubelt.
