  • Meet the Tempe Playlist Musicians
    MEET THE TEMPE PLAYLIST MUSICIANS Adele Etheridge Woodson Song: Morena (Morena feat. Rosita) Visit Website Morena was part of my EP, Sunday in the Park, that was commissioned by the city of Tempe! I wanted to create a fun, catchy track with Portuguese elements to bring fresh variety to the EP! I am a freelance composer and violinist born and raised in Tempe. I feel all of my artistic success is because of the local community and artists I am surrounded by. I currently compose music for film, arrange strings for other bands, and produce. Alex King Song: Dialogue (Inner) Visit Spotify After a spiraling last year and a half I was just trying to be honest with myself about what happened and where I was going. The results were less clear than where they started. Maybe? Not sure… I grew up here. I love this city. Although all the other places I've traveled too and have lived hold dear places in my heart, Tempe will always be my true love! I play drums in a loud band around Tempe infrequently. Alyssa G Song: Let Go Visit Instagram I was in a long and draining relationship for years and when I decided to move on and break it off, I found myself in tears in my friend’s dorm, guitar in hand, and humming to a few chords. I decided to write, record, and complete the song to share with others, in hope that they could see the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to hard breakups.

  • Lara Downes and "Tomorrow I May Be Far Away"
    Sound Thoughts on Art – Season 1, Episode 1 Lara Downes and Tomorrow I May Be Far Away National Gallery of Art {MUSIC PLAYING] CELESTE HEADLEE: Welcome to Sound Thoughts on Art, a podcast from the National Gallery of Art. I’m your host, Celeste Headlee. Art can engage all of our senses. We hear music. We see a photo. We walk around a sculpture. We taste fine food. Standing close to a favorite painting, we can even smell the wood or oil paint. But it’s when our senses work together that things get really interesting. When we listen, what do we see in our mind’s eye? When we stand in front of a painting, what do we hear? This podcast lives in that convergence. In every episode, you’ll learn about a work in the National Gallery’s collection from someone who knows the art and its context. You’ll also hear a musician respond to that work through sound, creating a dialogue between the visual art and music. Sound Thoughts on Art tells the stories of how we experience art and how it connects us. [TRANSITIONAL MUSIC] Art meets us where we are. In this episode, we’ll explore Romare Bearden’s 1967 collage called Tomorrow I May Be Far Away. Bearden was born in 1911 and grew up in Harlem. Throughout his life, he was an advocate for and scholar of African American artists. His artistic work spanned decades and mediums, but this collage is a good example of how he portrayed normal Black American life.

  • Dan Luke & the Raid out of the Blue
    Dan Luke & The Raid Out of the Blue “It's like a coming-of-age crisis,” says Daniel Shultz about Out of the Blue, the messy and ​ ​ melodic debut album from his band, Dan Luke & The Raid. “It’s about being in that space in your 20s where you’re trying to get your shit together and figure things out in life. You’re dealing with your problems”—the singer, songwriter and guitarist pauses—“even as you’re going out and partying and getting into trouble all the time.” Shultz and his Dan Luke & The Raid band mates—Dylan T. Graves (guitar, synthesizer, vocals), J. Anthony Joiner (bass, piano, vocals) and Kendrick Don-Reid Brent (drums, percussion, vocals)— know a thing or two about the last part of that equation, as evidenced by the songs and subject matter on Out of the Blue. Throughout the album’s 10 tracks, people are ​ ​ passed out on curbs under neon signs (“Black Cat Heavy Metal”), breaking hearts over rolled-up dollar bills (“Exoskeleton”), leaving baggies lying in passenger seats (“Money Mouth”) and faking smiles and feeling ashamed (“Golden Age”). Legs are bleeding, faces are numb and Shultz declares his band to be the “diamond kings of smut.” All the while, the music throbs and pulses and twitches and buzzes with the energy and enthusiasm and inexperience of youth, bursting with harsh, distorted guitar chords, blown-out synths squiggles and hopped-up rhythms—as well as, on occasion, moments of stunning and sincere melodic beauty. “We don’t want our music to have a timestamp,” the 21-year-old Shultz says about the melting pot of sounds and styles heard on Out of the Blue.

  • Broken-Music-By-Arthur-Chandler.Pdf
    by Arthur Chandler BROKEN MUSIC Chapter One: New Music Gabe Wagner had his fingers jammed tightly in his ears. From the two huge loudspeakers in the comers of his garage studio, a roaring, high­ pitched sound filled the room. The windows were rattling, and the table that held his computer and electric keyboard shook as though an earthquake had struck. Gabe staggered toward the volume control on his amplifier. But as soon as he took one hand away from his ear to turn it down, the racket, howling like a crowd of hysterical people mixed with the growling of a hundred angry lions, battered his ear and forced him to cover it up again. Finally he bent down, grabbed the off-on switch with his teeth, and pulled the switch down. The horrendous sound went down fighting. The amplifier gave out sputtering and grunting sounds before it finally faded into silence. At last, Gabe took his fingers out of his ears. The garage door opened. 'Wow, Gabe! Did you do that just to greet me?" asked the cheerful girl who entered the room. "Next time, just a sweet serenade of a flute or two will do." A few seconds ago, Gabe was seriously thinking about kicking his computer out of sheer spite. Why, oh why, did that blasted music software program always go berserk when he was across the room and couldn't reach the volume control? But the sight of his visitor made him smile. ''Why Lena, don't you know I always think you're worth the biggest sound I can make?" he asked.

  • FMH0104 02 Rodgers 5..30
    TARA RODGERS Tinkering with Cultural Memory Gender and the Politics of Synthesizer Historiography ABSTRACT In 2015, analog synthesizers are resurgent in popular appeal. Robert Moog is often celebrated as the central and originary figure who launched a so-called revolution in sound by making synthesizers widely available in the late 1960s and early ’70s. This essay examines the figure of the humble tinkerer, as exemplified by Moog, along with other historically specific and archetypal forms of masculinity that are embodied by the male subjects at the center of elec- tronic music’s historical accounts. Critical readings of audio-technical discourse, and of the periodization of synthesizer histories, reveal that women are always already rendered out of place as subjects and agents of electronic music history and culture. Yet a set of letters, written by young women across the United States to Harry F. Olson at the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in the mid-1950s and analyzed in this article, demonstrates that women were an enthusiastic audience for the RCA synthesizer a decade before Moog built his prototypes. As they did with new media, including wireless radio and the phonograph, in the early twentieth century, women played a key role at midcentury in enabling the broad-based market for analog synthesizers that greeted Moog and others in the 1960s once these instruments were made available for widespread use. KEYWORDS analog, electronic music, feminist historiography, history of technology, synthesizer Synthesized sounds are ubiquitous in contemporary music and aural environ- ments around the world.1 Analog synthesizers in particular hold resurgent appeal: as Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco note in their book on the Moog synthesizer, an “analog revival” was underway by the early s.2 In an era of digital connectivity, musicians and music technologists are demonstrating wide- spread enthusiasm for a return to the synthesizer styles of the s, complete with unpredictable sounds, networks of patch cables, and wood-paneled de- signs.
