  • Marc Zermati
    Marc Zermati: farewell to the 'hippest man in Paris' Zermati, who has died aged 74, was an anglophile dandy whose label Skydog crashlanded rock’n’roll into conservative France Andrew Gallix Wed 17 Jun 2020 13.42 BST arc Zermati, who died of a heart attack on Saturday at the age of 74, was a true underground legend: a national treasure France had never heard of and probably did not deserve. Rock Is My Life – the title of a 2008 exhibition celebrating his career on the radical fringes of the music business – would serve as a fitting M epitaph. Skydog, which Zermati co-created with Pieter Meulenbrock in 1972, was the first modern indie label, directly inspiring the launch of Chiswick and Stiff in England – its most successful release was the Stooges’ Metallic KO in 1976. As a promoter Zermati organised the world’s first punk festival, at Mont-de-Marsan, and introduced bands such as the Clash to a French audience. His heroin addiction and wheeler-dealing landed him on the wrong side of the law, and in latter years his curmudgeonly rightwing views alienated many people. But as one of the earliest champions of punk his importance in rock history cannot be overstated; if cut, he would have bled vinyl. Zermati was born into a family of Sepharadi Jews in Algiers. Growing up against the bloody background of the war of independence, he took refuge in rock’n’roll records imported from the US, which were more readily available – as he often boasted – than in metropolitan France. Like so many other pieds-noirs (the name given to people of European origin born in Algeria under French rule) the family fled to la métropole in 1962, when the country gained independence.

  • Affordant Chord Transitions in Selected Guitar-Driven Popular Music
    Affordant Chord Transitions in Selected Guitar-Driven Popular Music Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gary Yim, B.Mus. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: David Huron, Advisor Marc Ainger Graeme Boone Copyright by Gary Yim 2011 Abstract It is proposed that two different harmonic systems govern the sequences of chords in popular music: affordant harmony and functional harmony. Affordant chord transitions favor chords and chord transitions that minimize technical difficulty when performed on the guitar, while functional chord transitions favor chords and chord transitions based on a chord's harmonic function within a key. A corpus analysis is used to compare the two harmonic systems in influencing chord transitions, by encoding each song in two different ways. Songs in the corpus are encoded with their absolute chord names (such as “Cm”) to best represent affordant factors in the chord transitions. These same songs are also encoded with their Roman numerals to represent functional factors in the chord transitions. The total entropy within the corpus for both encodings are calculated, and it is argued that the encoding with the lower entropy value corresponds with a harmonic system that more greatly influences the chord transitions. It is predicted that affordant chord transitions play a greater role than functional harmony, and therefore a lower entropy value for the letter-name encoding is expected. But, contrary to expectations, a lower entropy value for the Roman numeral encoding was found. Thus, the results are not consistent with the hypothesis that affordant chord transitions play a greater role than functional chord transitions.

  • Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (N°? - Février 1994) - Alan Di Perna
    Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (n°? - Février 1994) - Alan di Perna Clean and Sober Dave Navarro lives for today with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. L.A. is burning. A series of wickedly devastating brushfires have encircled the City of Angels, turning the surrounding hills into a raging inferno. But Dave Navarro looks implacably cool as he pilots his black Harley down Ventura Boulevard. The guitarist's newly sprouted goatee gives him a conquistador's air of stony self-possession as he glides along the wide thoroughfare. A bandanna and shades protect his hair and eyes from the pall of smoke and cinders that have made the city's air seem like the mouth of a badly vented fireplace. Angelenos have learned not to let castastrophe interrupt their daily lives, and Navarro is no exception. His bike safely stashed in a "Loading Only" zone, the guitarist enters a trendy coffeehouse--one of those self-consciously bohemian places that could only exist in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. Settling onto a worn antique sofa, he orders a cup of black decaf and a bowl of cereal moistened with fruit juice. "I don't eat dairy," he explains. "No caffeine either. Right now, this is my only vice..." He smiles as he lights the first of many cigarettes. Studying the self-confident, purposeful guy seated at my side, I can't help but contrast him with the Dave Navarro I interviewed two years ago [GW, September '91]. At that time, he was a slavering, incoherent wreck, badly strung out on heroin and unable to even locate his shoes.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 95 OCTOBER 7TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #95! This is being written on October 4th---or 10/4, in US notation. That made me recall one of my former lives, many years and many pounds ago: I was a UPS driver. One thing I learned from the over-the- road drivers was that the popular version of CB-speak, "10-4, good buddy" was not generally used by drivers, as it meant something other than just, "hi, my friend". The proper and socially-acceptable term was "10-4, good neighbor." See? You never know what you'll learn here. In #95, Professor Larry Schenbeck takes a look at the mysteries of timbre---and no, that's not pronounced like a lumberjack's call; Dan Schwartz returns to a serious subject --unfortunately; Richard Murison goes on a sea voyage; Roy Hall pays a bittersweet visit to Cuba; Anne E. Johnson’s Off the Charts looks at the long and mostly-wonderful career of Leon Russell; J.I. Agnew explains how machine screws brought us sound recording; Bob Wood continues wit his True-Life Radio Tales; Woody Woodward continues his series on Jeff Beck; Anne’s Trading Eights brings us classic cuts from Miles Davis; Tom Gibbs is back to batting .800 in his record reviews; and I get to the bottom of things in The Audio Cynic, and examine direct some off-the-wall turntables in Vintage Whine. Copper #95 wraps up with Charles Rodrigues on extreme room treatment, and a lovely Parting Shot from my globe-trotting son, Will Leebens.

Palo Alto, CA 94304 U.S.A. + 1-415 -842 -6088 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper describes a study of the ConcertTalk system, a portable audio space that was used for two days. Two-way radios were provided to attendees at Lollapalooza rock concerts, and their use was recorded and analyzed. The study's participants quickly began using the system, used it throughout the day, and found many creative ways for the radios to improve the Lollapalooza concert experience. ConcertTalk's results suggest the utility of studying CHI technologies outside of work places, both to validate and expand the foundational theory of Our growing domain of knowledge in practice.

  • JANE's ADDICTION Strays (Hard Rock)
    JANE'S ADDICTION Strays (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 2003 Nombre de pistes : 11 Durée : 48' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Révélé par son album Nothing’s Shocking en 1988, JANE’S ADDICTION obtient un impact considérable avec la sortie de Ritual De Lo Habitual deux ans plus tard. Certifié platine, ce disque consacre le groupe comme l’une des figures majeures du Rock alternatif. En pleine gloire, le chanteur Perry FARRELL, absorbé par le festival itinérant Lollapalooza qu’il a créé, décide pourtant de dissoudre JANE’S ADDICTION en 1991. Une longue parenthèse le voit alors s’impliquer dans cet événement, aujourd’hui une institution en matière de contre-culture sur les plans artistique, mais aussi politique voire religieux. Il revendra finalement ses parts en 1996. Sur le plan musical, il monte PORNO FOR PYROS avec le batteur Steve PERKINS, alors qu’Eric AVERY et Dave NAVARRO sont engagés respectivement comme bassiste de INFECTIOUS GROOVE et guitariste des RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. A partir de 1998, le chanteur entreprend de reformer JANE’S ADDICTION. La renaissance du groupe donne lieu à un album homogène et de belle facture, Strays, qui paraît en 2003. Après plus d’une décennie de silence, cette nouvelle collection de titres montre un groupe impatient d’en découdre. Par un tonitruant « here we go », Perry FARRELL donne le signal de l’attaque massive du morceau d’ouverture True Nature. L’album est traversé par le Hard Rock, marque de fabrique du groupe. L’énorme succès Just Because, illuminé par les riffs acérés de Dave NAVARRO, explose en un refrain extrêmement accrocheur.
