    FOXATO'S FORUM MAGAZINE 13 °VOLUME UFFICIALE >> Premessa << Ciao amici miei. Torna il nostro caro magazine che rappresenta ancora una volta un riassunto della voce della famiglia che vuole ancora farsi sentire. Anche durante questa calda estate 2010 la musica non è mancata. Essa ci ha fatto compagnia in modo immenso su Foxato's Radio per tutti questi mesi. Abbiam assistito alla chiusura della vecchia e al ritorno della nuova stagione. Eventi per una maniera o per un'altra indimenticabili a dir poco . Quest'oggi il numero sarà incentrato principalmente su: -News musicali. -Scoperta di nuovi generi e alternative. -Album imperdibili. -Anticipazioni eventi nuova stagione. -Aggiornamento sezioni. Se siete pronti direi di partire subito con le news musicali. Ne sono molte da parte del sottoscritto e anche da parte del nostro amico aguzza_l'ingegno :-) :: Ringraziamenti iniziali a coloro che fan sì che la famiglia prosegua ancora al meglio :: :: NEWS MUSICALI ATTUALMENTE IN PROGRAMMAZIONE SU FOXATO’S RADIO :: Rileggendo lo scorso numero mi è venuta spontanea una riflessione su come siamo capaci (nel nostro piccolo) di rendere una marea di pezzi come delle vere e proprie colonne sonore di vita, in un'era dove si tende solamente a sputtanare la musica in tutti i sensi. E' un mondo che prosegue sempre di più verso una direzione disastrosa, eppure riesco ancora a considerarmi soddisfatto e fiero di ciò che con amore e passione conduco giornalmente su Foxato's Radio. E anche questo mese citiamo proprio la nostra oasi musicale come punto di partenza delle news musicali dato che non c'è miglior cosa che fare il punto della situazione su molteplici canzoni in programmazione.

I guess this is so because it is a prelude to summer, my favorite time of the year. I have never abandoned the idea that summer is synonymous of beach time and vacation. Even if I don’t really go on vacations and I am working hard, during summer I feel like I am on vacation. This is especially true living in Palmas. During summer time Palmas become more vibrant and effervescent than ever, the water gets warmer and the beach is full with families and friends. With April come the Easter activities, PHA week, then mother’s day and...my birthday (no need for me to go into details). This year we will also have, very close to us, The Thunderbird’s air show; an exquisite concert called Duos de Amor with three important sopranos and tenors; and many other activities, please check the “Don’t Miss” it page.

  • Leksykon Polskiej I Światowej Muzyki Elektronicznej
    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.

    The Quill The Literary Magazine of St. Ignatius College Preparatory 2009 The Quill 2009 • i Dear Reader, Imagine yourself fifty years from now, reflecting back on your days at SI. What will you remember? In the end, what truly matters? In our lives, there are so many things we are told to remember and so much to learn, and yet, later when we look back on these days, what will we hold dear? What we will hold dearest of all is life itself. And, where is life recorded for us and for posterity? How many of us have had the experience of reading a passage and seeing ourselves in those words? Words have the ability to capture emotion and truth in a way that speaks to our deepest self. Sometimes literature gives us great joy, while other times it forces our eyes open to that which we do not wish to know. Regardless, it allows us to feel as others feel, and to know what we otherwise could not. Language, culture, and religion may not be universal, but life is. Literature captures the essence of life and records it for those in distant lands and times, so that others can one day know that we have lived. The Quill 2009 is the proof that you have lived. Formulas and faces, overnighters and grueling practices will fade, but you will always have the essence of your time here at Saint Ignatius College Preparatory recorded in these pages. We would like to think that you will keep this magazine, so that one day it may act as a window to days gone by.

However, by moving away from appropriating the products of spectacular, consumer culture to reusing the mediated, affective products of prosumers, I argue they also demonstrate that another profound shift has since taken place in artistic critiques of our relationship with media—one that requires an upgrade of Bourriaud’s thesis to consider the Postproduction of Self.
