  • Social Spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay
    Social spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay This article aims to briefly explore some the compositional links that exist between Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and acousmatic music. Whilst the central theme of this article will focus on compositional links it will suggest some ways in which we might use these links to enhance pedagogic practice and widen access to acousmatic music. In particular, the article is concerned with documenting artists within Intelligent Dance Music (IDM), and how their practices relate to acousmatic music composition. The article will include a hand full of examples of music which highlight this musical exchange and will offer some ways to use current academic thinking to explain how IDM and acousmatics are related, at least from a theoretical point of view. There is a growing body of compositional work and theoretical research that draws from both acousmatics and various forms of electronic dance music. Much of this work blurs the boundaries of electronic music composition, often with vastly different aesthetic and cultural outcomes. Elements of acousmatic composition can be found scattered throughout Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and on the other side of the divide there are a number of composers who are entering the world of acousmatics from a dance music background. This dynamic exchange of ideas and compositional processes is resulting in an interesting blend of music which is able to sit quite comfortably inside an academic framework as well as inside a more commercial one. Whilst there are a number of genres of dance music that could be described in terms of the theories that would normally relate to acousmatic music composition practices, the focus of this article lies particularly with Intelligent Dance Music.

It was really supposed to be out in mid-January to remind you all to come to the special Frigid at the Opera House. As it happened you didn’t need reminding, with 700 people showing up to chill with coke-snortin’ North Shore bimbos and several minor celebrities. In the space between #14 and #15 a lot has changed. Lucius, Sydney’s infamous poster terrorist, has hung up the sticky-tape and retired; edited by Degrassi is now assistant editor of 3D World; Luke is now thirty; Monkeyboy dale and yellow peril is about to fly out of the country for several years pillaging the Americas; Dale has developed an unhealthy fetish for crappy vinyl; I’ve become addicted designed by to Pokemon as a result of Luke’s evil spouse Grit; and the rest of us are dale about to move Frigid to the Hopetoun temporarily whilst the Globe is cyclic website refurbished. More on all that somewhere in this issue. richard & richard There have also been several festivals: Big Day Out and Vibes, in particular.

  • Digital Cultures Listening Lists
    Digital Cultures: Music Recommended Listening and Reading (Prof Andrew Hugill) The following long (but nowhere near long enough to cover everything) listening list not only illustrates some of the key ideas about modernism and postmodernism, structuralism and deconstruction, but also adds up to a mini-history of the evolution of electronic and electroacoustic music in the 20th Century. Some brief descriptive notes are included to indicate the salient features, but there is no substitute for careful and repeated listening, with perhaps some attempt to analyse what is heard. It should be remembered that Modernism and Postmodernism are not musical styles, nor words that artists and composers use to describe their work, but rather terms from critical and cultural theory that seem to sum up broad tendencies in art. In fact, all the pieces below will probably be heard to exhibit characteristics of both ‘isms’. Some useful questions to ask when listening are: what is the artist’s intention? How well is it realized? What is the cultural context for the work? What are its compositional techniques? What is the musical language?

However, whatever form it takes, the majority of the record covers usually consist of the following elements: Album Information The easiest way to instantly get recognizable is to include the stage name pseudonym and album title in the cover design. Already the design of the Nirvana cover for Nevermind caused heated discussions. Naturally, it had a motorcycle erupting out of a graveyard with a giant bat looming over the tombstones in the background. These covers tweaked the formula a bit by printing a ton of broken up text on a flat blue and grey respectively. The rise of merchandising — and the special logos groups adopted — helped turn bands into brands. Many of the best-known Impulse! For listeners, music would never be the same without the album art. The King Cole Trio spent most of the rest of the year on the bestseller list, with many of its singles reaching No. But digitally, this is not needed. And, in such creative concept, album covers are one of the first things that an artist must take into consideration. I did have a bit of input, picking one or two that stood out for me and which I thought should have been included but, in the main, the list was theirs. The concept of album covers design has quite a long history, which dates back to around the s.

Join the artists for a conversation during the performance. Program to be selected from: Spindrift Judges Between Water and Wind All this I do for Glory The love it took to leave you In the clinches Strike your forge and grin 2 Colin Stetson was born and raised in Ann Arbor, spent a decade ABOUT THE ARTIST in San Francisco and Brooklyn honing his formidable talents as a horn player, eventually settling in Montreal in 2007. Over the years he has worked extensively live and in studio with a wide range of bands and musicians including Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, TV On The Radio, Feist, Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Evan Parker, The Chemical Brothers, Animal Collective, Hamid Drake, LCD Soundsystem, The National, Angelique Kidjo, Fink, and David Gilmour. Meanwhile he has developed an utterly unique voice as a soloist, principally on saxophones and clarinets, his intense technical prowess matched by his exhilarating and emotionally gripping skills as a songwriter. Stetson’s astounding physical engagement with his instruments (chiefly bass and alto saxophones) produces emotionally rich and polyphonic compositions that transcend expectations of what solo horn playing can sound like. Stetson is equally at home in the avant jazz tradition of players who have pushed the boundaries of the instrument through circular breathing, embouchure, etc. (i.e.

  • Alwakeel IDM As A
    IDM as a “Minor” Literature: The Treatment of Cultural and Musical Norms by “Intelligent Dance Music” RAMZY ALWAKEEL UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS (UK) Abstract This piece opens with a consideration of the etymology and application of the term “IDM”, before examining the treatment of normative standards by the work associated therewith. Three areas in particular will be focused upon: identity, tradition, and morphology. The discussion will be illuminated by three case studies, the first of which will consider Warp Records’ relationship to narrative; the two remaining will explore the work of Autechre and Aphex Twin with some reference to the areas outlined above. The writing of Deleuze and Guattari will inform the ideas presented, with particular focus being made upon the notions of “minority”, “deterritorialisation”, and “continuous variation”. Based upon the interaction of the wider IDM “text” with existing “constants”, and its treatment of itself, the present work will conclude with the suggestion that IDM be read as a “minor” literature. Keywords IDM, Deleuze, minority, genre, morphology, subjectivity, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Warp Can you really kiss the sky with your tongue in cheek?
