  • Uma Perspectiva Musicológica Sobre a Formação Da Categoria Ciberpunk Na Música Para Audiovisuais – Entre 1982 E 2017
    Uma perspectiva musicológica sobre a formação da categoria ciberpunk na música para audiovisuais – entre 1982 e 2017 André Filipe Cecília Malhado Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências Musicais Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica Setembro de 2019 I Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Musicais – Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica, realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Paula Gomes Ribeiro. II Às duas mulheres da minha vida que permanecem no ciberespaço do meu pensamento: Sara e Maria de Lourdes E aos dois homens da minha vida com quem conecto no meu quotidiano: Joaquim e Ricardo III Agradecimentos Mesmo tratando-se de um estudo de musicologia histórica, é preciso destacar que o meu objecto, problemática, e uma componente muito substancial do método foram direccionados para a sociologia. Por essa razão, o tema desta dissertação só foi possível porque o fenómeno social da música ciberpunk resulta do esforço colectivo dos participantes dentro da cultura, e é para eles que direciono o meu primeiro grande agradecimento. Sinto-me grato a todos os fãs do ciberpunk por manterem viva esta cultura, e por construírem à qual também pertenço, e espero, enquanto aca-fã, ter sido capaz de fazer jus à sua importância e aos discursos dos seus intervenientes. Um enorme “obrigado” à Professora Paula Gomes Ribeiro pela sua orientação, e por me ter fornecido perspectivas, ideias, conselhos, contrapontos teóricos, ajuda na resolução de contradições, e pelos seus olhos de revisora-falcão que não deixam escapar nada! Como é evidente, o seu contributo ultrapassa em muito os meandros desta investigação, pois não posso esquecer tudo aquilo que me ensinou desde o primeiro ano da Licenciatura.

  • The Big Day) – Hopefully More Well-Received Than Chance the Rapper’S Ill-Conceived Paean to Loving His Wife by Kenji Shimizu
    Festivus 2020: TBD (The Big Day) – Hopefully More Well-Received than Chance the Rapper’s Ill-Conceived Paean to Loving His Wife by Kenji Shimizu Note to players: Two answers required. 1. ​After declaring “I like my rock and roll all the same,” the singer declares that he doesn’t “give a fuck” if he does either of these two actions in “Back to the Motor League” by Propagandhi. Kurgan quotes a line mentioning these two actions in a church scene in ​Highlander​, referencing a 1983 song’s spoken-word intro in which that line follows the gibberish phrase “Gunter glieben glauten globen.” In a 1979 album’s final track, the second half of a line about these two actions is replaced by the album’s title, (*) ​Rust Never Sleeps​. That line about these two actions is quoted at the beginning of Def Leppard’s “Rock of Ages” and in the closing statements of Kurt Cobain’s suicide note. For 10 points, the song “My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)” by Neil Young declares that “it’s better to” do what action “than to” do what other action? ANSWER: ​burn out​ ​and ​fade away​ ​[accept “​It’s better to burn out than​ ​to ​fade away​”] 2. ​In reference to a song titled after one of these people, the Martin guitar company embedded a coin into 73 limited-edition guitars to commemorate the victim of a September 1973 plane crash. The twist that Marie is the narrator’s six-year-old daughter is the final piece of information given to a person with this job in Chuck Berry’s “Memphis, Tennessee.” The words of a person with this job are juxtaposed with several excuses given by Mrs.

  • Leksykon Polskiej I Światowej Muzyki Elektronicznej
    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.

  • 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.

  • Reconsidering East Asian Influence in Early Twentieth-Century European Music
    BEYOND ORIENTALISM: RECONSIDERING EAST ASIAN INFLUENCE IN EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY EUROPEAN MUSIC By DONG JIN SHIN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 © 2020 Dong Jin Shin To Leah ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There were many amazing people who made this dissertation possible. I owe debts of gratitude to my advisor, Silvio dos Santos, who had faith in me, had my back, and cheered me on until I crossed the finish line. Jennifer Thomas’ critical reading was invaluable in polishing this dissertation; I can’t say enough about how much she has cared for me with all her heart. Paul Richards kindly offered me an individual study for a semester and encouraged my humble ideas. When I first visited Ann Wehmeyer, she readily agreed to be on my committee and kindly helped with all the degree processes. Also, I would like to thank my musicology colleagues, especially Heather Bergseth, Michael Vincent, and Heidi Jensen, who showed their friendship and helped with my English. I appreciate the School of Music at the University of Florida, which has supported my research travels, presentations, and all the stages of this dissertation. It was a long and difficult journey for me to complete this dissertation due to considerable language and cultural barriers. Through the hardships, I learned valuable lessons that enabled me to grow into a better person. During my doctoral degree, I have tried not to neglect my duty as a mom and to become a good model to my daughter Leah, whose presence helped me to remain hopeful and become a stronger person.

  • Japanese City Pop Abroad Findings from an Online Music Community Survey Executive Summary
    Moritz Sommet, University of Fribourg Japanese City Pop Abroad Findings from an online music community survey Executive summary Fribourg, Switzerland February 2021 To cite this document: music community survey. Fribourg, CH, 2021. Table of contents Research topic and questions 2 Survey outline 3 Main findings 4 Demog raphics 4 Listening patterns and modes of musical engagemen t 6 Popular City Pop artists 8 Nostalgia, escapism, Japan: the meaning of 'City Pop' abroad 10 Conclusions and further research 14 Bibliography 15 Discography 16 1 Research topic and questions City Pop is a loosely defined musical genre that first emerged in Japan in the late 1970s. It combines various styles of Western popular music, such as funk, soul, disco, fusion, boogie, or rock, with Japanese-language lyrics and a set of visual and textual motifs that reflects the rise of a transnational, urban consumer and leisure culture in 1980s Japan. Having undergone several recontextualizations and r evivals in its country of 1 disco tune Plastic Love (1985) have accumulated many millions of views among them between 2016 and 2021 (Calkins 2019), and Miki Mayonaka no Door - Stay With Me (1979) has climbed to the top of the viral charts of music streaming service Spotify in late 2020 (Matsunaga 2020). late 2020, a dozen fan communities on Facebook and Reddit have amassed a combined following of over 60,000 members. At first sight, the community make-up, the aesthetic themes and the listening practices prevalent among City Pop fans appear to share some similarities with other recently emerged Internet- mediated music genres, such as Vaporwave (Schembri/Tichbon 2017), or Lo-fi Hip Hop (Winston/Saywood 2019).
