Las Mujeres Hacen Ruido En La Primera Edición Del Festival She Makes Noise El 27 y 28 de febrero y 1 de marzo Las mujeres hacen ruido en la primera edición del festival She makes noise She makes noise, el primer festival que relaciona mujeres con arte sonoro en nuestro país, tiene como principal objetivo visibilizar el trabajo de todas ellas, siendo algunos de los proyectos internacionales los más destacados durante el último año a nivel de ambient, techno, minimal y noise Las internacionales Klara Lewis, Paula Temple o Karen Gwyer tocaran por primera vez en Madrid, mientras que las asturianas LasCasicasiotone pondrán la nota nacional al festival El festival se completa con programación audiovisual en la que se podrá ver, entre otras cosas, el work in progress de la película que Marie Losier está rodando sobre Peaches. Además, la familia al completo podrá disfrutar de una actividad sonora para familias conducido por Las Casicasiotone (LCC) Tras nacer en 2013 como plataforma online, She makes noise ocupa el Auditorio de La Casa Encendida en forma de festival. Conciertos, proyecciones y talleres que, durante tres días, relacionarán a la mujer y el arte sonoro desde distintas disciplinas por primera vez en España. La iniciativa lleva dos años llevando a cabo un mapeo de artistas, obra audiovisual, crítica e investigación sobre mujeres que se dedican a la música electrónica y la experimentación sonora. She makes noise busca la creación de redes de acción conjunta entre las artistas seleccionadas y visibilizar su trabajo. No obstante, el festival se mueve más allá de la cuestión de género haciendo llegar por primera vez a Madrid algunos de los proyectos internacionales más destacados durante el último año, a nivel de ambient, techno, minimal y noise como ocurre con Klara Lewis o Paula Temple. Precede a la programación musical, un ciclo de cine hecho por mujeres cuyos trabajos también están marcados por el ruido o por el tratamiento especial del aspecto sonoro. Entre ellas destaca el último trabajo de la siempre radical Marie Losier (The ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye), un seguimiento de la artista Peaches. Completa las actividades el encuentro sónico para niños y padres dirigido por las artistas y docentes LasCasicasiotone. CONCIERTOS Viernes 27 de febrero Primer día de festival y dos estrenos en nuestro país dedicada al sello discográfico vienés MEGO, la casa de artistas imprescindibles como Fennesz, Hecker y Oneohtrix Point Never. Jornada doble que arranca con la jovencísima artista sueca Klara Lewis, que con solo un álbum “Ett” (2014) ha llamado la atención de la crítica especializada internacional como The Wire o The Quietus. Un paisaje sonoro, cálido y juguetón que significa su primera actuación en España. Tras Lewis, el dúo de asturianas Las Casicasiotone, más conocidas por la abreviatura LCC, ha conseguido en poco tiempo convertirse de la electrónica minimal en toda Europa. En su primer álbum “d/evolution” (2014) podemos rastrear a Ben Frost, Tim Hecker o Angelo Badalamenti. A la actuación se le suma el espectáculo visual de Adrián Cuervo. Sábado 28 de febrero Tras pequeños lanzamientos en formato cassette, el debut en álbum largo de Karen Gwyer, quien con “Needs Continuum” (2013) ha sido una de las grandes revelaciones de los últimos años. Nueve composiciones que aúnan house y techno con sintetizadores, ritmos africanos y futurismo pop, que nos traen a la cabeza a unos primerizos Autechre o The Sabres of Paradise. Recientemente publicó el EP “New Roof” (2014) más oscuro y con más profundidad que el anterior. Esta es su primera actuación en España. Domingo 1 de marzo La artista británica Paula Temple es una de las artistas de vanguardia más reconocidas dentro del panorama de la música tecno internacional. Su carrera está marcada como Dj por el desarrollo del MXF8 para Ableton y por remezclar entre otros a grupos como The Knife y Perera Elsewhere. Durante el último año ha puesto en marcha la plataforma y sello “Noise Manifesto”. La Vj alemana Jem the Misfits se une a Temple ofreciendo un portentoso espectáculo visual. PROYECCIONES Al ciclo de conciertos le acompaña otro de proyecciones que recoge a cineastas que “hacen ruido” trabajando en los márgenes, fuera de los circuitos comerciales. Todas ellas con una especial vinculación con el sonido a la hora de trabajar. Viernes 27 de febrero Sesión dedicada a la artista visual Deborah Stratman cuyo trabajo se mueve entre el cine documental y el experimental. Utiliza para ello grandes paisajes a manera de landscapes sonoros o la práctica found footage con potentes montajes de imagen y audio. Second sighted, (5’, 2014. Digital): collage de imágenes de archivo en colaboración con la compositora Olivia Block. O’er The Land (51’, 2009. 16 mm) La película, que toma su nombre del himno Americano “sobre la tierra de los hombres y el hogar de los valientes”, cuestiona el patriotismo exacerbado y la cultura de las armas en Estados Unidos. Sábado 28 de febrero Cineasta francesa residente en Nueva York, Marie Losier ha desarrollado su cine experimental y de vanguardia colaborando con los hermanos Kuchar o Tony Conrad. De su amplia trayectoria se han seleccionado los retratos en torno a las figuras de la contracultura musical, Genesis P-Orridge y Peaches. Peaches goes banana (work in progress, 10’.16mm) Retrato íntimo de Merril Beth Nisker, Peaches, quien abandonó su Canadá natal para convertirse en un icono del underground berlinés. The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye (71’, 2011. 16mm). Seguimiento de una de las historias de amor más radicales: la de Genesis P-Orridge, icono de la música industrial y Lady Jaye, su pareja durante 15 años, quienes acabaron sometiéndose a numerosas intervenciones estéticas para acabar teniendo el mismo aspecto. Domingo 1 de marzo Sesión de cortos con trabajos de Jeanne Liotta (Observando el cielo, 2007), Beatrice Gibson (The tiger’s mind, 2012), Vicki Bennett (The big sleep, 2014) y la artista vasca, Laida Lertxundi (My tears are dry, 2009). ACTIVIDAD SÓNICA EN FAMILIA Sábado 28 de febrero Las LCC, presentarán Sónicos Huesitos Exquisitos, una serie de actividades para descubrir el arte sonoro a través de la escucha activa, la composición narrativa, la participación colectiva y el juego. Actividades para padres y niños (de 7 a 11 años) con la idea de generar un nuevo espacio para compartir experiencias novedosas y trabajar el aprendizaje participativo en un entorno lúdico, fomentando el pensamiento crítico a través del arte sonoro y el uso de las nuevas tecnologías desde una perspectiva abierta y flexible. Las Casicasiotone son Uge Pañeda, licenciada en Psicología y Ana Quiroga, diplomada en Magisterio. Su trabajo se centra en el campo de la música electrónica. A su vez, desarrollan actividades enfocadas al público infantil, como ElectroKinder, y talleres psicopedagógicos que, a través de las artes audiovisuales, fomentan la participación y la interacción de los niños, abordando diferentes temas de interés artístico, educativo, social y sanitario.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Brian Wilson, une exposition 17 novembre 2007 – 9 mars 2008 Vernissage: 16 novembre 2007, 19 heures Commissaire : Alex Farquharson Trevor Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Peter Blake, Mel Bochner, John Cage, Brian Calvin, Vija Celmins, Russell Crotty, Thomas Demand, Kaye Donachie, Isa Genzken, Liam Gillick, Jeremy Glogan, Joe Goode, George Greenough, Rodney Graham, Richard Hawkins, Roger Hiorns, Jim Isermann, Sister Corita Kent, Roy Lichtenstein, John McCracken, Lee Mullican, Kaz Oshiro, Bruno Peinado, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Pettibone, Ken Price, Martial Raysse, Bridget Riley, Allen Ruppersberg, Ed Ruscha, Jim Shaw, Fred Tomaselli, Jennifer West, Pae White, Isaac Witkin. Grande Nef du CAPC L’exposition If Everybody had an Ocean a pour fil conducteur la fascination qu’a exercé Brian Wilson, le mythique compositeur des Beach Boys, sur plusieurs générations d’artistes. Dans cette exposition, sa vie et sa musique sont un prisme à partir duquel on peut relire les développements de l’art depuis les années 60, en particulier dans sa relation à la culture populaire et au contexte social et urbain de la Californie. L’art devient aussi le moyen de reconsidérer les contradictions qu’il y a entre l’image populaire et lisse des Beach Boys et l’ambition musicale complexe et géniale de Brian Wilson. En se concentrant sur des oeuvres qui mélangent Pop Art, peinture abstraite, Minimalisme et Art Conceptuel– un phénomène récurrent dans l’art de la Côte Ouest – l’exposition questionne implicitement la pertinence de ces catégories historiques.

  • Ryuichi Sakamoto: Async Remodels
    Ryuichi Sakamoto: async remodels spectrumculture.com/2018/03/04/ryuichi-sakamoto-async-remodels-review Daniel Bromfield March 4, 2018 Ryuichi Sakamoto is sort of a Paul McCartney or Stevie Wonder for experimental electronic music, a happy-go-lucky, slightly-batty great-uncle whose work is essentially harmless even at its most esoteric. When faced with a prickly collaborator like Alva Noto or Christian Fennesz, his instinctive reaction is to offset their noise with placid piano. It’s interesting to see how the tracks on last year’s async fare in the hands of a cast of acolytes whose work largely adheres to the postmodern hellscape aesthetic prevalent in left-field electronic music. async remodels is as much a gritty reboot as a remix album, and though it’s alluringly prickly, it sacrifices a lot of what makes async special, like its innocence and its bittersweet awareness of the transience of life. Most of the 11 remixes—many of the same songs—add rather than subtract, demonstrating how a few small alterations can change a piece for better or worse. The remix most in line with Sakamoto’s vision is Daniel Lopatin’s take on “andata,” which is more or less identical to the original until he puckishly turns up the reverb on a single piano note and lets his trademark sine-wave swell out of the depths of the mix. Not many producers are better at mechanized melancholy than Lopatin, and his hangdog synths work wonderfully with “andata”’s painfully plaintive piano motif. His strategy isn’t dissimilar to Cornelius’, whose “ZURE” remix augments the original with foley sound effects but feels too cartoonish to work with Sakamoto’s sad synths.

  • Austria's Music Underground Is Ready to Break Through
    AUSTRIA’S MUSIC UNDERGROUND IS READY TO BREAK THROUGH Under Austria’s tourist-oriented facade lies a most vibrant and blossoming music scene. The “music country Austria” is currently experiencing a musical reformation with a music underground pulsating under the surface and ready to break through. Slowly the tips of this plant are coming to the fore: Just recently 60,000 visitors came to the “Popfest Wien” to celebrate an exclusively Austrian music lineup for four days. The big music industry hotspot at Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival has never before staged so many Austrian artists to showcase their talents. And what’s more: The most important European showcase festival “Eurosonic” proclaimed Austria as the “focus country” for its next edition in 2014. According to the cliches, Austria is a country with many mountains, where everyone skis in winter and wears dirndls in summer, where the culinary cuisine established names such as “schnitzel” and where the nostalgic glorification of the monarchy is the order of the day. Current music, however, is not necessarily one of the first things that comes to mind for this list, even though Austria has always been considered as the prototypical music country. After all, Mozart, Haydn, Strauss and Mahler once lived and worked here, and still form, together with the Philharmonic New Year’s Concert, countless operas and classical music festivals, the country’s columns of a deeply rooted musical tradition. Just as the tourist shops’ memorabilia of the imperial era, these names still have an impact on the Austrian image to this day – this however should not stand in the way of taking a closer look at the exciting present ongoings.

  • Joanna Demers Listening Through the Noise: the Aesthetics of Experimental Electronic Music
    Philosophy in Review XXXI (2011), no. 5 Joanna Demers Listening Through the Noise: The Aesthetics of Experimental Electronic Music. Oxford: Oxford University Press 2010. 216 pages US$99.00 (cloth ISBN 978-0-19-538765-0); US$24.95 (paper ISBN 978-0-19-538766-7) Listening Through the Noise does not argue for the historical importance of experimental electronic music. It does not list and rank particular compositions or recordings for being artistically superior or canonical. Somewhat surprisingly, the book does not attempt to provide a singular theory or set of conditions for the aesthetics of the genre. What seems to be the purpose of this work, rather, is to supply the foundational information concerning origins, materials, ideas, styles and examples of experimental electronic music, so that readers can proceed as individuals to develop their own unique experiences with this specific form of art. The result is a guidebook designed for the traveler who wants to grab a backpack and explore some remote corners of the earth, but who lacks the confidence to set off alone. By providing an introduction to the language and a map of the essential framework, a little comfort starts to develop, allowing the adventurer to proceed in a way that is simultaneously guided and free. Since this is way I think this book ought to be read, I recommend starting out by perusing the glossary (which is where I began). At some point in the last century, to really have knowledge of a musical style came to mean knowing the names and the sonic distinctions between all of that style’s sub-genres.
