Emerging Designers Australia and New Zealand Australia and New Zealand have rich fashion histories belied by the two nationsʼ geographical isolation. In the last decade the region has produced fashion superstars and indie fashion favorites like Dion Lee, Karen Walker, Sass & Bide, Ksubi, Ellery, and Zimmerman, not to mention surfwear giants like Quiksilver. While Rosemount Australian Fashion Week is producing more and more designers to watch, the region also boasts some of the worldʼs edgiest fashion mags in the form of Russh, and Oyster. As island nations, the beach and ocean loom large in cultural mythologies, influencing styles that combine European edge and West Coast ease, with a strong dose of the regionʼs tough, individualist irreverence. In the first of a series of new regional reports, Stylesight highlights ten of the freshest young designers.

But that's not the case here. Alternative Takes on Congotronics has 26 indie rock bands and musicians reworking material from extraordinary Congolese bands including Konono No 1 and the Kasai Allstars. For instance, Deerhoof play a cover version of a Kasai Allstars track they learned by slowing it right down and transposing the parts from thumb pianos on to guitars. It's brilliant. Animal Collective throw samples into their guitar and drum work. Everyone brings a different approach to make an eclectic, dance floor-friendly double album that should be a cult success. Simon Broughton VA / Congotronics: Tradi-Mods Vs Rockers Available on: Crammed Discs 2xCD When Brussels-based Crammed Discs dropped that first Konono Nº1 Congotronics album in 2004, it had the same kind of “shock of the new” impact in contemporary World music circles as say, ‘Anarchy in the UK’, had among jaded rock fans in the mid-1970s. And like ‘Anarchy’ and other pioneering punk records, it was notable for a strong DIY ethic, a captivatingly dirty sound and a refusal to pay lip service to the earnest “authenticity” that all “worthy” musical endeavours were expected to embody.

  • John Zorn Et À Son Label (Tzadik : L'esthétique Discographique Selon John Zorn, Paru En 2015)
    1 2 PRÉSENTATION DU CONFÉRENCIER François-Xavier Féron est musicologue, titulaire d’un master en acoustique musicale (Paris VI- IRCAM) et d’un doctorat en musicologie (Paris IV). Après avoir enseigné à l’université de Nantes, il a travaillé successivement, en tant que chercheur postdoctoral, au CIRMMT (Université McGill, Montréal) et dans l’équipe Analyse des Pratiques Musicales à l’IRCAM (Paris). En 2013, il intègre le CNRS et rejoint le LaBRI/SCRIME (Université de Bordeaux). Ses recherches se concentrent sur les pratiques musicales aux XXème et XXIème siècles et plus spécifiquement sur l’impact des recherches en acoustique sur les processus de création artistique. Il a dirigé le numéro de la revue Circuit : musiques contemporainesconsacré à John Zorn et à son label (Tzadik : l'esthétique discographique selon John Zorn, paru en 2015) 3 JOHN ZORN Né à New York en 1953, John Zorn se passionne dès l'enfance pour toutes sortes de musiques, via la radio et les disques de son père. Il apprend le piano et la guitare en autodidacte et entre en 1967 à la United Nations International School de Manhattan, où il commence à étudier la composition, études poursuivies à la Webster University de Saint Louis (Missouri). S'il s'intéresse aux travaux de John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luigi Nono, il demeure un auditeur d'une insatiable curiosité. Jacques Coursil, qui fut son professeur, dit de lui : "Les musiques, il les a toutes entendues : Zorn a le monde entier dans la tête et il est libre."* C'est également un passionné de cinéma qui envisage un temps une carrière de réalisateur.

  • Parergonality in Zen Buddhism and Non-Idiomatic Improvisation
    DHARMA NOISE: PARERGONALITY IN ZEN BUDDHISM AND NON-IDIOMATIC IMPROVISATION DANIEL PAUL SCHNEE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH2013 © Daniel Paul Schnee, 2013 ABSTRACT 11 The objective of this dissertation is to explore philosophical and practical approaches to the study of improvisation in relation to Japanese Zen Buddhist doctrine and aesthetics. It specifically asks whether free form (non-idiomatic) improvisation can be practiced, and Zen Buddhism's efficacy in establishing a structured regimen for technical study on a musical instrument. In order to complete this research objective, the historical development of Zen Buddhist doctrine and aesthetics is investigated and shown to be a non-unified rubric. Using the concept of the parergon, it is then demonstrated that practicing is an appropriate activity for improvisation when supplemented by the kata forms of Zen-influenced Japanese arts. The result of such supplementation in .this case takes the form of a series of original chromatic exercises developed as a paradigm that itself acts as a supplement to improvisation. The establishment of such a regimen also suggests further research into the topic of pedagogy and Shintoism as an aesthetic or theological supplement, as well as gender issues in creative perfonnance. 11l TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 11 Table of Contents 111 1.

  • Multi-Arts Festival, Mallorca Alternatilla Is Not Your Normal Festival Where The
    1 2009 multi-arts festival, mallorca Alternatilla is not your normal festival where the main focus is just one Discipline. Alternatilla is a festival covering many arts. In 2008 we dedicated our programme to the celebration of the female within the arts, this year we surrender ourselves to the central theme of LA LUZ (The Light), a concept that many of the artists had been working on when they made their original festival proposals to us. Xiloneón, a creation of Olaf Ladousse, is a neon installation at the centre of the exhibitions, which will be permanently lit throughout the two months of the festival, being the central focus of Alternatilla, the beacon that will guide us by its light to the epicenter of the festival. In the 2009 edition, the festival is like a prism that catches the light, converting into a rainbow of activities: art, theatre, photography, cinema, music, poetry, aphorism, workshops, conferences…… With the multidiscipline spirit and the consolidating of this cultural Mallorcan programme, we continue to expand our horizons and create new challenges. Alternatilla offers a rich and varied programme, and is aimed at everyone. Especially the restless and non-conformist, who will be both surprised and constantly curious. The festival also brings us to a space where everyone can take part, where you can talk, discuss, reflect, but in the end enjoy yourselves. In Alternatilla there is something for almost everyone: it is a cultural festival open to many diverse forms of artistic expression, bringing in many different disciplines and cultures and putting them on display in our very own shop window.
