Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto The Revenant, which was nominated for a Golden Globe award. Melbourne Festival Artistic Director Jonathan Holloway said: ‘You can take any era of Sakamoto and it changed anything from pop music to film soundtracks to classical music to chamber music. He is Japan’s master of both classical music and electronica. To bring Sakamoto alongside Alva Noto, back to Melbourne for the Festival is just thrilling.’ ‘There’s a resonant center to Noto and Sakamoto’s work together in which stark timbres and abstract electronics ultimately turn heart-stirring.’- Pitchfork. JAPAN & GERMANY // MUSIC Presented with AsiaTOPA. ALVA NOTO & RYUICHI SAKAMOTO TWO From 70s synth-pop pioneer with Yellow Magic Orchestra to experimental minimalist to lauded film composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto has never been content keeping still. A partial list of his collaborators proves the expanses his music roams: Brian Wilson, Iggy Pop, Youssou N’Dour and David Sylvian are just a few. Sakamoto’s most recent and enduring musical partner has been German glitch maestro Alva Noto. In the early days of this century what began as a swapping of files has Arts Centre Melbourne, Hamer Hall ultimately led to raved-about albums, an exquisite Fri 19 Oct soundtrack to the film The Revenant and a series of 8pm unmissable live events. $39 - $119 On the heels of the 2018 live improvised album Glass, festival.melbourne witness these two distinct minds in communion once more. Arts Centre Melbourne 1300 182 183 #melbfest New York-based Japanese electronic artist Ryuchi Sakamoto first came to attention with his electronic trio, Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1978. From here, Sakamoto played a pivotal role in pioneering the development of synth-pop, techno and house genres. Alva Noto, also known as Carston Nicolai is a German musician and sound experimentalist. Working in the field of electronic music, Noto creates his own code of signs, acoustics and visual symbols. Noto has collaborated with Sakamoto on six albums and the score for the 2015 film .

  • The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 122–135 Research Article Adam de Paor-Evans* The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0012 Received January 27, 2018; accepted June 2, 2018 Abstract: In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and socio- political presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society. Keywords: dromosphere, dromology, Afrofuturism, electro-rap, thirdspace, fantasy, Newcleus, Strange U Introduction During the mid-1970s, the language of New York City’s pioneering hip hop practitioners brought them fame amongst their peers, yet the methods of its musical production brought heavy criticism from established musicians.

  • Kevin Milburn Futurism and Musical Meaning in Synthesized
    Kevin Milburn Futurism and Musical Meaning in Synthesized Landscapes Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore how musicians engaged with a particular form of technology, the synthesizer, to create imaginative geographies of the near future. It examines the output of numerous ‘synth-pop’ acts involved in the production of this commercially successful, urban-focussed music, focussing on the period between 1977 and 1984. Attention is given to how this music both embedded and self-consciously reflected notions of futurism, a theme that, until that time, had largely been neglected in popular music. The role of earlier futuristic visionaries, such as Fritz Lang, JG Ballard and Stanley Kubrick, in shaping musicians depictions of futurism is highlighted. Throughout, the music is interpreted by situating it within the specific cultural, economic and sociotechnical realms in which it was produced. Whilst the emphasis is on debates concerning futurism that were played out within a British musical context reference is also made to related significant developments that occurred outside the UK. This paper assesses the way that notions of futurism were enrolled into electronic music in certain times and places. Naturally, in many respects, all contemporary popular music is now ‘electronic’; if not in its instrumentation then almost certainly in terms of its recording, distribution and consumption. However, my analysis of ‘electronic music’ refers to music in which electrically powered keyboard instruments, and specifically synthesizers, are to the fore of the mix, and where many of the sounds produced are clearly synthetically generated. In particular, the focus is on a form of electronic music, given the genre-label ‘synth-pop’ for marketing purposes, that was produced by artists sometimes referred to as ‘futurists’.

Providing adequate good quality feed to livestock to raise and maintain their productivity is, and will continue to be, a major challenge to agricultural scientists and policy makers all over the world. The increase in population and rapid growth in world economies will lead to an enormous increase in demand for animal products, a large part of which will be from developing countries.

  • Ryuichi Sakamoto
    Ryuichi Sakamoto Born in 1952, Sakamoto released his debut solo album Thousand Knives in 1978. In the same year, he formed the pioneering electronic band Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) with Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi. Since YMO disbanded in 1983, he has continued to be active in and beyond the realm of media in the fields of music, movies, publishing, advertising and others. In 1984, he won a British Academy Film Award among other accolades for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, which he starred in and composed the score for. He later won an Academy Award and a Grammy among other honors for his score to the 1987 film The Last Emperor. He has since changed his career base to the West and earned an international reputation for pursuing innovative sounds. In Japan, Sakamoto advocated the revitalization of the nation’s music industry and established the commons music community in 2006 to provide common ground for music-related activities transcending genres and categories. Since the release of his opera LIFE in 1999, Sakamoto has often made reference to environmental and peace issues in his works. In 2000, he contributed to the efforts of Jubilee 2000 – an international movement calling for the cancellation of debts weighing on the world’s poorest countries by the year 2000 with supporters including Bono from rock band U2 and Bob Geldof. In 2001, he founded artists’ power, an artists’ organization advocating the use of renewable energy. He joined fellow members Takeshi Kobayashi and Kazutoshi Sakurai in founding the NGO ap bank in 2003. In 2006, he opposed the operation of the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant and launched the website stop-rokkasho.org.
