Press Release ! Artist: Hercules & Love Affair Title: The Change EP Label: Skint Records / BMG EP Release: November 1st 2019 Single Release: October 11th 2019 Cat #: SKINT411 Format: Digital After over ten years of Hercules and Love Affair, Andy Butler offers three reimagined versions of classic Hercules tunes and a piece of new music on “The Change EP”. Produced with current partner in crime Alec Storey (aka Second Storey), the two have been touring the Hercules catalog with an approach that incorporates a proper dose of techno while duly engaging Storey’s penchant for breaks and intricate percussion work. Butler decided to put a few of these reworks out for DJS and dancefloors, offering the chance for these great Hercules moments to shine once again. “I have always wanted to play out particular songs from my catalog in my sets more like “Raise Me Up” from the first LP or “Are You Still Certain?” from Omnion and I figured here is my chance to spin them out and get them into my sets again .” The new song entitled “Change” for which the EP is titled after is a bass-heavy, gritty number that is a darker offering than much of what Hercules and Love Affair is perhaps known for. That said, change has always been more than evident in the story of Hercules and Love Affair. Initially conceived during the making of Hercules’s last album Omnion, the biting lyrics speak to the inevitability of change and some people’s resistance to it. “Change is really a double edged sword- while some doors open, some doors close. Inherently there is a kind of death or finality in it.” The video that accompanies it, produced and directed by Butler and Joie Iacono as part of their A/V project Hoarder, is just as darkly beautiful. Staged amidst an imposing industrial sculptural work by artists Egon Van Herreweghe and Thomas Min, 5 dancers dramatically vacillate between fluidity and jittery glitched out movements- Butler engaged British choreographer Joshua Hubbard, known for his work with Elton John, Roisin Murphy and many others. In his words- “I heard the song was instantly inspired and knew that I could create a piece for this track. Knowing Andy’s work, it sounded to me like a transition from a previous sound and I felt like the movement should echo this change. For their solos I wanted to create nuance that reinforced the concept of change, I knew this would shape an identity within the choreography. I cast the dancers knowing Andrew wanted to work with a diverse group, so I narrowed down the potential performers from a roster of people I had previously worked with whilst also sourcing people internationally from social media. Its exciting for a choreographer to work with performers who have disabilities. For example Ariel Fung, a deaf performer from Hong Kong needed to feel the vibrations of the music, which influenced the process of creation during the shoot.” This EP puts forward just a few glimpses of the significant mark on electronic music that Butler’s Hercules and Love Affair has had, while the current live show offers a more thorough one. A singular voice in dance music and one that is always operating on it’s own terms, Hercules and Love Affair’s evolving nature is once again highlighted by this standout 4 track EP, and one can only wonder what the next chapter will be in this epic story.

    Yazoo discography This discography was created on basis of web resources (special thanks to Eugenio Lopez at www.yazoo.org.uk and Matti Särngren at hem.spray.se/lillemej) and my own collection (marked *). Whenever there is doubt whether a certain release exists, this is indicated. The list is definitely not complete. Many more editions must exist in European countries. Also, there must be a myriad of promo’s out there. I have only included those and other variations (such as red vinyl releases) if I have at least one well documented source. Also, the list of covers is far from complete and I would really appreciate any input. There are four sections: 1. Albums, official releases 2. Singles, official releases 3.

  • Anohni: Miracle Now
    ANOHNI: MIRACLE NOW EN INTRODUKTION TIL UDSTILLINGEN / AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EXHIBITION MAY 24 – AUGUST 5 2018 MIRACLE NOW “Does nature evolve, or does She just change? So much information can now be stored in a tiny space. Scientists have said recently that ancestral trauma changes our genome in detectable ways. I imagine that in the future we shall put a drop of water into a machine and it will reveal to us every moment that its atoms have ever ex- perienced, and every living and inanimate body that it has ever been a part of. When I first staged the play Miracle Now in 1995, my dream was that Nature would remem- ber every one of Her vanished faces, and that this knowledge would somehow inform Her next iteration. This was a hopeful idea to me, in the face of impending eco-col- lapse.” – ANOHNI “Nothing goes unrecorded. Every word of leaf and snowflake and particle of dew, as well as earthquake and avalanche, is writ- ten down in Nature’s book.” – John Muir, 1872 ANOHNI: “Where do we go when we die?” Nola Taylor: “Back to country.” – Conversation with Nola Taylor, Martu elder, Western Australian desert, 2015.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs.

  • Úvod Témou Tejto Diplomovej Práce Je Fenomén Camp a Jeho Prejavy a Podoby, Konkrétne V Súčasnej Populárnej Nezávislej Hudbe
    Úvod Témou tejto diplomovej práce je fenomén camp a jeho prejavy a podoby, konkrétne v súčasnej populárnej nezávislej hudbe. Východiskom práce a hlavným teoretickým zdrojom je pre nás esej „Poznámky o fenoméne camp“ z roku 1964 (Notes on „Camp“) americkej teoretičky Susan Sontagovej. V prvej kapitole práce „História campu, história pojmu“ sa budeme venovať vzniku samotného campu a vzniku pojmu camp a prostredníctvom mnohých, hlavne slovníkových, referencií budeme sledovať jeho podoby, premeny a rôznosť významov až po súčasnosť. V rámci prvej kapitoly sa budeme následne podrobne venovať primárne spomínanej eseji „Poznámky o fenoméne camp“, ktorá, ako sme už uvideli, pre nás predstavuje hlavný teoretický základ. Na základe ťažiskových častí eseje určíme niekoľko vymedzení a znakov campu, s ktorými budeme pracovať v nasledujúcich kapitolách. V druhej teoretickej časti práce sa budeme venovať vzťahu campu a gýča. Vysvetlíme, prečo je či nie je medzi nimi vzťah a prečo vôbec o gýči v súvislosti s campom hovoríme. Teoretickým východiskom pre túto kapitolu a jej jednotlivé časti je práca Skeptikové a těšitelé teoretika Umberta Eca. Eca sme ako východislo zvolili aj preto, že sa vo svojom diele campu okrajovo venoval a tiež pritom vychádzal z eseje „Poznámky o fenoméne camp“. Camp je fenomén, ktorý presahuje do mnohých vedeckých oblastí. V tretej kapitole by sme teda vychádzajúc z diela Jana Mukařovského chceli „obhájiť“ pozíciu campu ako predmetu aj estetického skúmania. Vychádzajúc z textu „Estetická funkce, norma, hodnota“ zistíme, či campu prináleží miesto aj v rámci estetického diskurzu a či je možné camp a campy diela skúmať ako estetický či umelecký objekt. Potom, čo čitateľa oboznámime so vznikom a pozadím campu, chceli by sme predstaviť konkrétne príklady campu.

  • Vivid LIVE First Artist Announced Anohni
    MEDIA RELEASE: Wednesday 24 February 2015 VIVID LIVE FIRST ARTIST ANNOUNCED: ANOHNI (OF ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS) * BALLOT FOR TICKETS * FOUR NIGHTS ONLY, VIVID SYDNEY EXCLUSIVE “The most exquisite thing you will hear in your life” – Laurie Anderson (The Times, UK) Vivid Sydney and the Sydney Opera House today announced that one of music’s singular innovators - the towering, ever-transforming Anohni (known previously to audiences as Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons ) - will debut her latest work in four exclusive Vivid LIVE performances at the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid Sydney , the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas. Incorporating a series of immersive, sense-shifting moments, the show promises to be the transgender artist’s most ambitious and personal yet. Due to the expected high demand, tickets to Anohni’s Sydney-exclusive Vivid LIVE concerts on 27, 28, 30 and 31 May 2016 will be allocated by ballot. Following sold-out ballots for Morrissey (2015) and Kraftwerk 's 3D Catalogue retrospective (2013), Anohni ’s four Sydney-only Vivid LIVE performances will feature her fifth album and solo debut as Anohni , ‘Hopelessness’ , which raises the dramatic power of Antony and the Johnsons to new electronic heights. American electronic artist and producer Oneohtrix Point Never (who, along with Hudson Mohawke, collaborated on the new album) and Gaël Rakotondrabe (pianist from Antony and the Johnsons) will join Anohni on the Joan Sutherland Theatre stage in this exclusive Australian premiere. The shows also mark Anohni ’s return to the city that has embraced her from the start, from her 2003 visits supporting Lou Reed and 2005 Opera House performances (when the singer stole the all- star Leonard Cohen tribute show, Came So Far For Beauty ) to 2010’s memorable Antony and the Johnsons Concert Hall appearance.

  • Little Boots About
    LITTLE BOOTS ABOUT Making headlines and chart topping hits since she first emerged in 2008, Little Boots won the respected BBC Sound Of poll and a Brits Critics Choice nomination just a year later. Fusing massive pop hooks onto otherworldly electronic soundscapes it showed a pop star willing to experiment, and her debut album 'Hands' reached the top 5 in the UK album chart and was quickly certified Gold. Her electrifying live show gained a reputation, pushing boundaries with ground breaking instruments and synthesizers such as the Tenori-on and Laser Harp, culminating in memorable live performances at Glastonbury and Coachella to name a few. Freeing herself of the major label machine she went on to found her own label On Repeat Records and independently released various EPs and two more critically acclaimed albums - 2013’s ‘Nocturnes’ and most recently 'Working Girl’, as well as signing and developing up and coming talent. In 2017 she collaborated with the legendary Jean-Michel Jarre and co-wrote the lead single for his latest record, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic Album. As a DJ her ties with the dance culture are deep and long-running. From her first legendary white label release 'Stuck On Repeat’, produced by Joe Goddard, to gracing Mixmag's cover, it's hard to think of another popstar to have garnered anywhere near as much credibility from the dance world's inner-circle. From collaborating with dance royalty Maya Jane Coles, Hercules and Love Affair and Simian Mobile Disco, to her own decorated DJ career, highlights including her live set for Mixmag Lab which has clocked up over 1.4 million views, curating one of Space’s closing We Love party in Ibiza and spinning everywhere from Glastonbury to Valentino’s latest launch at Milan Fashion Week.
