Elton John, Ospite Internazionale Al Festival Di Sanremo VENERDì 22 GENNAIO 2016 Elton John sarà uno degli ospiti internazionali del Festival di Sanremo, dove si esibirà con il suo nuovo singolo 'Blue Wonderful', disponibile per la programmazione radiofonica dal 29 gennaio. Elton John, ospite Internazionale Da anni vive sulla cresta dell'onda, ha venduto centinaia di milioni di al Festival di Sanremo dischi, scritto canzoni che vengono cantate in tutto il mondo, ma per il suo 32° album di studio, 'Wonderful Crazy Night', in uscita mondiale il 5 Presentera' il nuovo singolo 'Blue Wonderful', febbraio in versione CD, LP, Deluxe e Super Deluxe Boxset, ha voluto fare anticipazione del nuovo album 'Wonderful qualcosa di speciale. Così, ha convocato la sua tour band in studio, Crazy Night' in uscita mondiale Il 5 febbraio collegato gli amplificatori?e via. "Questo è un disco rock'n'roll ", spiega Elton John. "Volevo un disco dove si sentisse la chitarra, qualcosa di gioioso, qualcosa che si può suonare nei palazzetti. Non credo di aver mai fatto un album così divertente ANTONIO GALLUZZO uptempo ed energico! Spacca!" 'Wonderful Crazy Night' racchiude tutto ciò che ci si aspetta da un album di Elton John. Testi poetici e possenti. Melodie eleganti protagoniste. Voce fantastica e toccante. Ma con un quid in più, uno spirito live e spontaneo che ne farà una nuova pietra miliare della sua produzione [email protected] straordinaria. SPETTACOLINEWS.IT "Con questo album sono tornato ad essere l'Elton degli anni '70. Sono ad un punto della mia vita in cui tutto sta trovando il suo posto. Sono veramente felice! E, naturalmente, tutto questo è riflesso nello spirito di questo album". 'Wonderful Crazy Night' è stato scritto e registrato in soli 17 giorni e co-prodotto dalla leggenda americana T Bone Burnett (storico collaboratore di BB King, Willie Nelson, Robert Plant e Alison Krauss). I principali membri della band sono stati convocati al prestigioso Village Studio di Los Angeles. "Tutto è stato fatto alla stessa maniera di Yellow Brick Road o Honky Chateau negli anni Settanta, quando scrivevo la canzone al mattino, poi arrivava la band per imparare gli accordi, provavamo un paio di volte ed eravamo pronti", spiega Elton. Il batterista Nigel Olsson ha suonato con lui fin dagli esordi, il chitarrista Davey Johnstone dal 1971, mentre il bassista Matt Bissonette, il tastierista Kim Bullard e il percussionista John Mahon sono acquisizioni più recenti. L'amico di lunga data e collaboratore, il percussionista Ray Cooper, li ha raggiunti per registrare cinque tracce. "Sento che è probabilmente la migliore band che abbia mai avuto, tutto funziona alla perfezione. Io sono un buon musicista, i componenti della band sono ottimi musicisti ed è stato fantastico registrare tutto 'al primo take'. Immaginatevi quanto ci siamo divertiti!" I testi, ancora una volta, sono di Bernie Taupin. Una collaborazione, Pag. 1 / 3 questa, che quasi certamente è la più longeva nella storia della musica. Insieme, in oltre 48 anni, i due hanno composto centinaia di canzoni, di cui almeno 50 sono diventate vere e proprie global hits , compresa la più venduta di tutti i tempi, 'Candle in the Wind', del 1997. Nel nuovo album ci sono altre 10 gemme da aggiungere all'elenco, tra cui la tenera ballata 'Good Heart', la travolgente 'Guilty Pleasure', l'elegante e gioiosa 'Blue Wonderful', l'epica 'Open Chord' e l'esuberante 'Wonderful Crazy Night' che dà titolo all'album. "Io e Bernie non scriviamo mai nella stessa stanza insieme ma abbiamo lo stesso entusiasmo di quando abbiamo iniziato. Non voglio vedere i testi prima di andare in studio, mi siedo al pianoforte, c'è la gioia di vedere qualcosa per la prima volta, ti colpisce ed improvvisamente nella mia testa inizia un film, suono qualche accordo e tutto mi è chiaro. Semplicemente, rispondo ai suoi testi". Dopo 'The Union' (con Leon Russell) del 2010 e 'The Diving Board' del 2013 (entrambi Top 5 in USA), 'Wonderful Crazy Night' è il terzo album di Elton John prodotto da T Bone Burnett, "Tutti i miei album con T Bone sono diversi, il primo è puro 'Americana', il secondo è il mio disco più intimo e molto probabilmente quello in cui ho suonato meglio il pianoforte, e questo è rock'n'roll". Elton desiderava canzoni che potessero adattarsi perfettamente ai suoi live set, tra 'Crocodile Rock', 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)' e 'Bennie And The Jets'. "Musicalmente è un disco molto energico, di cui sono molto orgoglioso perché anch'io sono pieno di energia. Tra tutti i mei album degli ultimi trent'anni questo dovrebbe essere il più semplice da suonare dal vivo". E proprio dal vivo i tantissimi fan di Sir Elton John potranno godersi nuovi e vecchi successi, quando si esibirà i prossimi 15 e 16 luglio, rispettivamente al Festival Collisioni, a Barolo (CN) e all'Anfiteatro Camerini a Piazzola sul Brenta (PD). I record di Elton John parlano da soli. Ha venduto nel mondo oltre 250 milioni di dischi, con 58 singoli entrati nella Top40 di Billboard, ha scritto le musiche di "Billy Elliot" (per il teatro e per il film), dell'Aida (nella versione sua e di Tim Rice) e de "Il Re Leone". Instancabile performer, Elton ha tenuto oltre 3500 concerti in 80 Paesi diversi. Ha collezionato 12 Ivor Novello Awards, 6 Grammys, 2 Brits Awards, 1 Oscar e 1 Tony Award. E' stato inserito nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, nella Songwriters Hall of Fame ed ha ricevuto il titolo di Cavaliere da Sua Maestà, la Regina Elisabetta II, nel 1998. Recentemente è stato scelto come primo vincitore del BRITs Icon Award, un premio che riconosce i più alti livelli conseguiti nel campo musicale britannico, conferito solo agli artisti iconici le cui composizioni, registrazioni e performance hanno lasciato un impatto durevole sulla cultura della nazione. Sir Elton John è un indiscussa leggenda della cultura pop. Ed è per questo che è ancora più impressionante che non si accontenti di riposare sugli allori. Questa la tracklist dell'album: 1. Wonderful Crazy Night 2. In The Name Of You 3. Claw Hammer 4. Blue Wonderful 5. I've Got 2 Wings 6. A Good Heart 7. Looking Up 8. Guilty Pleasure 9. Tambourine 10. The Open Chord 11.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    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.

  • Issue12-Babylon Guy.Pdf
    For Guy, Lestat’s biggest challenge was simply the amount of time it demanded. “It just never ended!” he laughs. “A show like that is a constantly evolving process. One thing always hinges on another—for example, the music might get changed, not because it isn’t working as music, but because it’s not working with whatever is going on onstage.” Babylon started work on Lestat in 2003, when Elton John began composing the score. “He’d come into the studio early and write a song, and then I would spend the rest of the day creating an arrangement,” he recalls. “Elton’s guitar player, Davey Johnstone, was also involved in that process. So it was basically Elton, Davey, and me in the studio with an engineer. We made pretty elaborate demos of all these songs. In fact, if you listen to the demos from beginning to end, it sounds like an album.” Guy also had a hand in crafting arrangements for the final production. “Since I was with Elton when he wrote the songs, I had first crack at the music,” he explains. “But overall, I’m just a small part of a team of people. We all did whatever it is we specialize in to make the show as good as possible. I was one of three orchestrators, along with Steve Margoshes and Bruce Coughlin. I also worked with an assistant programmer, John Roggie. But Lestat’s music director, Brad Haak, really had the most creative input.” As a longtime user of Yamaha Motif keyboards, Guy knew they’d be perfect for Lestat .
