  • ​Antony and the Johnsons Til Northside
    2015-04-14 13:30 CEST Antony and the Johnsons til NorthSide Med tilføjelsen af i alt fem nye navne inklusive et fænomenalt nyt hovednavn, der laver en unik koncert sammen med Aarhus Symfoniorkester, er den endelige plakat klar til NorthSide 2015 Mange måneders hårdt arbejde er nu overstået, og resultatet præsenteres i dag i form af en plakat med 41 navne, der spænder fra legendariske Grace Jones, popsensationen Sam Smith, hiphop-kongerne Wu-Tang Clan, fænomenale Antony and the Johnsons sammen med Aarhus Symfoniorkester og det mest ønskede NorthSide-navn nogensinde – The Black Keys. Med offentliggørelsen af plakaten sættes de sidste fem navne på plakaten, og heriblandt finder man Antony and the Johnsons, der til lejligheden har allieret sig med Aarhus Symfoniorkester. Den unikke sanger Antony Hegarty har en kompromisløs og udfordrende karriere bag sig, hvor det Mercury Prize- vindende mesterværk ”I Am a Bird Now” og albummet ”Cut the World” står som højdepunkter. Sidstnævnte blev indspillet i 2011 sammen med DR UnderholdningsOrkestret til to roste koncerter i København, og denne fantastiske musik vil nu blive genskabt på NorthSide. Antony Hegarty får følgeskab af norske Emilie Nicolas, der har imponeret med hittet ”Pstereo” fra det forrygende debutalbum ”Like I’m A Warrior” samt de to danske navne S!vas og Rangleklods. S!vas har redefineret dansk hiphop og introduceret så mange nye ord til det danske sprog, at han sidste år blev hædret med GAFFAs Specialpris for sin banebrydende musik, og duoen Rangleklods er efter stribevis af koncerter på de største europæiske festivaler både klar med et nyt album og klar til at præsentere deres intelligente og nuancerede klubmusik på NorthSide.

  • Reflections on the Mercury Music Prize in 2016, Simon Frith
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Popular Music Interview with Simon Frith – Reflections on the Mercury Music Prize In 2016, Simon Frith stepped down as chair of the Mercury Music Prize (MMP), a post he had held for the 25 years since the Prize was founded in 1992. During this time, the MMP – awarded to the British and Irish album of the year - became an established part of the UK music industry’s annual cycle, helping to shape musical taste and business practice. Its credibility as a prize also made it the one that musicians wanted to win. While he was chair, Simon Frith wrote Performing Rites (1996), a book that analysed, among other things, the value attributed to music and the processes by which that value is determined. The MMP could be seen as a practical example of the ideas and arguments of the book. The Editorial Group of Popular Music invited Simon Frith to reflect on his time as chair of the MMP and on the link between this role and his academic interests. The interview was conducted by John Street. The conversation began with a question about the interests behind the MMP over its 25-year history. Simon Frith: The Mercury Prize was a marketing initiative of the music industry, through the British Phonographic Industry (BPI); it was a way of selling records. The BPI understood that if such a prize was going to work, it had to be seen as independent of the industry itself.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs.

  • ANOHNI Miracle Now Pressemeddelelse
    Miracle Now 24. maj åbner Nikolaj Kunsthal udstillingen Miracle Now af den britisk-amerikanske kunstner og musiker ANOHNI. Værker på papir, malerier og skulpturer bliver ledsaget af en 9-kanals videoinstallation og skrøbelige dokumenter fra ANOHNIs arkiv. ANOHNI opnåede først international anerkendelse med sit band Antony and the Johnsons, som opstod ud af after-hours performance-scenen i 1990ernes New York. ANOHNIs videoinstallation er en udforskning af billede, lyd og tekst baseret på hendes stykke fra 1995 Miracle Now og får sin premiere i Nikolaj Kunsthals Nedre Galleri. I Øvre Galleri fremvises et bredt udvalg af ANOHNIs værker, som viser hendes sans for materialernes taktile egenskaber: collager lavet af fundne objekter og hentet fra forskellige samlinger, fotografier, skulpturelle værker i den store skala og voksmalerier. Hendes animistiske drømmerier udtrykker følelser, en bevidsthed om medskyld og en længsel efter forandring stillet over for det menneskeskabte økologiske selvmord. “Udvikler naturen sig, eller forandrer hun sig bare? Der kan nu lagres så store mængder informationer på så lidt plads. Videnskabsfolk har for nylig sagt, at traumer, som har ramt vores forfædre, ændrer vores genom på påviselige måder. Jeg forestiller mig, at man i fremtiden kan anbringe en vanddråbe i en maskine og få alt at vide om hvert et øjeblik, dens atomer har gennemlevet og alle de levende og ikke-levende organismer, den nogensinde har været en del af. Da mit stykke Miracle Now først blev opført i 1995, var min største drøm, at Naturen ville kunne fastholde en viden om alt, hun nogensinde havde været. Det rummede et fundament af håb for mig, ansigt til ansigt med det økologiske sammenbrud”.
