In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality.

  • Darryl Way – Vivaldi's Four Seasons in Rock
    Darryl Way – Vivaldi’s Four Seasons In Rock (41:20, CD, Cherry Red Records- The Right Honourable Recording Company, 2018) Darryl Way dürfte den meisten Lesern durch sein Mitwirken bei Curved Air bekannt sein, oder auch durch seine Band Darryl Way’s Wolf (u.a. mit Ian Mosley. Auf dem Debütalbum von 1970 war er ebenso vertreten, wie auf den meisten Alben bis 1976 (auf dem 73er Album „Air Cut“ war an seiner Stelle ein gewisser Eddie Jobson aktiv). Bei „Alive 1990“ ist er noch einmal dabei, doch an der neuen Reinkarnation hat er nicht mehr teilgenommen. Zwar sind Curved Air nicht unbedingt in der allerersten Reihe der 70er Prog Dinos einzuordnen, doch sie konnten sich einen treuen Fankreis erarbeiten und erreichten durchaus einen gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad. Zu einem Herausstellungsmerkmal gehörte neben Frontfrau Sonja Kristina auch das prägnante Geigenspiel. Gleich auf dem Debütalbum „Air Conditioning“ ist ein Klassiker der Band zu finden, der seinerzeit auch zu den Höhepunkten ihrer Konzerte gehörte, nämlich der, logischerweise von Way arrangierte Titel ‚Vivaldi‘. He did it his way, sozusagen. Anscheinend stammt sein Arrangement aus dem Jahr 1968, denn im Booklet der vorliegenden CD steht geschrieben, dass sich Way pünktlich zum 50. Geburtstag seiner Klassik-Rock-Hymne an eine komplette Neueinspielung von Vivaldis „Die vier Jahreszeiten“ gewagt hat. Mit viel Respekt vor dem Original, das er für ein Beispiel musikalischer Perfektion hält, hat er sich vorgenommen, daraus eine Rock-Variante zu kreieren. Dabei hat er sich ganz bewusst sehr nah an der Vorlage bewegt, lediglich in langsameren Passagen hat er leichte Veränderungen zugelassen.

Estuve meditando durante un tiempo hasta que la iluminación llego a mi mente y recordé cuales fueron mis orígenes en la música. Hace ya mucho tiempo, cuando era un adolescente, entre en el mundo del rock de la mano de lo que en aquella época se llamaba “rock sinfónico”. Mi fascinación por este género era total y el instrumento que me imaginaba tocando eran los teclados, con el tiempo comprendí que no tenía capacidad para asumir semejante tarea. Hablar de sintetizadores, órganos, mellotrones, etc, para mí sería un placer pero entiendo que para la mayoría de los mortales podría suponer un gran dolor de cabeza. Por todo ello creo que mi colaboración puede versar sobre los teclistas del rock. RICK WAKEMAN No pretendo contar exhaustivamente la obra y milagros de este genio, eso sería muy largo y tedioso, simplemente daré unas pinceladas sobre su trayectoria basándome en mi experiencia. Rick Wakeman nació en 1,949 en Perivale, Londres, y como era de esperar estudio diversos instrumentos entre ellos el piano, pero el bueno de Rick era un inconformista y no se regía por los cánones clásicos por lo cual fue expulsado del Royal College Music.

  • A PHILOSOPHICAL Enquiry INTO SOME ASPECTS of the TEACHER's ROLE Helen Stephanie Freeman
    1 A PHILOSOPHICAL ENqUIRY INTO SOME ASPECTS OF THE TEACHER'S ROLE Helen Stephanie Freeman - 2 - J36TRACT In this thesis an investigation is conducted into the justification for various aspects of the teacher's role in schools, being concerned in particular to find out whether certain aspects are in some way necessary for the role as a justifiable one in a justifiable institution. That thesis is, itself, an instantiation of a further thesis concerned with the prescriptive implications of philosophy of education, which is discussed in the first section. The second section discusses what it is to be teaching someone something, raising objections to the current orthodox analysis of the concept of teaching, which is argued to be inadequate to account for our current understanding of it. Various terms of art are considered and found unsatisfactory, and a new schema for analysing teaching is introduced. An alternative analysis which does not embody certain important assumptions of the orthodox analysis is presented. Objections to it are considered. The third section examines the concept of role, using as its basis an analysis presented by R.S. Downie. This analysis is considered to be too crude for the investigation of this thesis, and an alternative analysis is again developed for application here. Some of the problems of role concepts are discussed in relation to the social sciences. The fourth section applies the above analyses to a consideration of the teacher's role in respect of the following aspects: (a) the teaching of understanding, beliefs and skills (including the specifying of low-level objectives) (b) the teaching of values (c) assessment and evaluation (d) authority in the sphere of knowledge and, briefly, the personal/impersonal dimension of the teacher-pupil relationship.

    THE GORMENGHAST NOVELS: TITUS GROAN / GORMENGHAST / TITUS ALONE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Mervyn Laurence Peake | 1168 pages | 01 Dec 1995 | Overlook Press | 9780879516284 | English | New York, United States The Gormenghast Novels: Titus Groan / Gormenghast / Titus Alone PDF Book Tolkien, but his surreal fiction was influenced by his early love for Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson rather than Tolkien's studies of mythology and philology. It was very difficult to get through or enjoy this book, because it feels so very scattered. But his eyes were disappointing. Nannie Slagg: An ancient dwarf who serves as the nurse for infant Titus and Fuchsia before him. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up. I honestly can't decide if I liked it better than the first two or not. So again, mixed feelings. There is no swarmer like the nimble flame; and all is over. How does this vast castle pay for itself? The emphasis on bizarre characters, or their odd characteristics, is Dickensian. As David Louis Edelman notes, the prescient Steerpike never seems to be able to accomplish much either, except to drive Titus' father mad by burning his library. At the beginning of the novel, two agents of change are introduced into the stagnant society of Gormenghast. However, it is difficult for me to imagine how such readers could at once praise Peake for the the singular, spectacular world of the first two books, and then become upset when he continues to expand his vision. Without Gormenghast's walls to hold them together, they tumble apart in their separate directions, and the narrative is a jumbled climb around a pile of disparate ruins.

  • Booklet Gormenghast
    A FANTASY OPERA BY IRMIN SCHMI DT Irmin Schmidt, founder of the legendary group CAN, has written an opera: GORMENGHAST. Commissioned by Wuppertaler Bühnen, the work was performed in the English language and premiered at the Operahouse Wuppertal on 15. November 1998. Inspired by Mervyn Peake’s masterpiece of gothic fantasy, English novelist Duncan Fallowell wrote the libretto in St. Petersburg, combining romance, comedy and futurism into an adventure of epic strangeness peopled by unforgettable characters. The opera is in 3 acts and centres on the rise and fall of Steerpike, a courageous, clever and charming kitchen-boy who becomes by degrees the murderous tyrant of Gormenghast Castle and its domain. In the process he bewitches and destroys Fuchsia the daughter of Gormen ghast’s opium-addicted ruler. Finally he meets his own dramatic death. The other inhabitants of this vivid decaying realm are drawn into the terrible tale. Irmin Schmidt, who studied under Ligeti and Stockhausen, not only created in CAN one of the most influential of avant garde groups, but is also a classical conductor and pianist and has com- posed music for over 70 film productions. His work transforms elements of the popular, ethnic and classical into a wholly original musical language . In both libretto and music, this integration of high culture and popular culture is not like any- thing which has gone before: it is achieved with perfect naturalness, carrying the art of opera forward into a new phase. The result is both accessible and magically unexpected: GORMENGHAST is a major addition to the world of musical theatre.

  • U-Z Press & Eddie Biography 2011
    FIRST FULL ALBUM RELEASE IN 25 YEARS FROM A PROGRESSIVE ROCK PIONEER EDDIE JOBSON - biography The Editor-in-Chief of Emmy magazine wrote: “The word ‘genius’ is bandied about a bit too freely these days, but in Jobson’s case, the term not only applies, it’s been used to describe him since his northern England childhood, when he was such a violin and piano prodigy that he wrote his first string quartet at 13 [and] performed with his first professional symphony at 14...” His performances and compositions have received press accolades, having been described as “brilliant” [All Music Guide], “intriguingly original” [Los Angeles Times], even “magnificent” [London Times], “staggering” [All About Jazz], and “dazzling” [The Boston Globe]. Jobson started playing acoustic guitar and classical piano at age 7 and violin at age 8, turning professional at only 15. By age 17, he had already acquired a record deal with Warner Bros. and an international reputation as one of the early pioneers of the electric violin with his first recording band Curved Air (the band that also launched the career of Police drummer Stewart Copeland). In the same year he was invited by Roxy Music front-man Bryan Ferry to be the keyboardist and orchestrator on Ferry’s first solo album—a project that would garner the teen star the first of his nine gold albums. At age 18, Jobson became a full-blown member of Roxy Music, replacing synthesist Brian Eno and helping the band create their first No.1 album—a point that would mark the beginning of ‘Roxymania’ in Britain and the start of their most critically acclaimed and influential period.
