A informatividade da música eletrônica. 2015. 189 f. Dissertação (mestrado) – Escola de Comunicações e Artes, Universidade de São Paulo, 2015. Essa pesquisa faz um recorte da música eletrônica através de suas linguagens, práticas documentárias e processos informativos, estudados a partir de contextos socioculturais, para observar sua constituição como um gênero musical popular. A informatividade da música eletrônica foi compreendida em seus complexos de relações terminológicas e conjecturas diversas, ilustrando e identificando interrelações, propriedades estético- formais, categorizações e características discursivas e linguísticas. Conceitos da Ciência da Informação e das humanidades foram utilizados para analisar como esse gênero irresoluto e fragmentado por muitas definições, processos anticategóricos e conflitos de distinção cultural, acaba por definir-se como um campo de intensa materialidade informativa e histórica, que segue tendo na ideia de “música eletrônica” seu universo simultaneamente amplo e circunscrito. Objetos, fenômenos, o devir musical, categorias e as linguagens dessa música foram estudados sob os vértices da informatividade, como proposta por Bernd Frohmann, conceito processual que surge a partir da ideia dos documentos como definidores e reveladores de contextos, problemáticas e discursos. Essa pesquisa conclui como a informatividade da música eletrônica logra documentá-la como tal: um gênero musical histórico, institucionalizado e documentado, coeso e problematizado por preponderantes aspectos informativos, referenciais e de categorização - um fenômeno da Cultura e da Informação. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Música Eletrônica. Música e Informação. Informatividade. Categorização Musical. Interculturalidade. ABSTRACT FERNANDES, J. A. M. G. The informativeness of electronic music. 2015. 189 f. Dissertação (mestrado) – Escola de Comunicações e Artes, Universidade de São Paulo, 2015. This research outlines electronic music through its languages, documentary practices, informative processes and their sociocultural contexts, to observe its constituion as a popular music genre. The informativenesse of electronic music is seen from its complexes of terminology relations and several conjectures, that illustrate and identify interrelations, aesthetic and formal properties, categorizations, discursive and linguistic characteristics. Concepts from Information Science and other humanities have been used to analyze how this irresolute musical genre, fragmented by anti-categorical and cultural distinction conflits, ends up being defined as a field of intense informative and historical materiality. This music still relies this wide and also circumscribed universe on the idea of “electronic music”. Objectos, phenomena, the music becoming, categories and languages of this music have been studied under the informativeness theorical vertices, as proposed by Bernd Frohmann, a procedural concept that arises from the ideia of documents as defining elements of contexts, discourses and problems. This research concludes how informativeness manages to document electronic music as such: a historical, institutionalized and documented musical genre, cohesive and also very problematized by its preponderant informative, referential and categorical aspects – a Cultural and Informative phenomenon. KEYWORDS: Electronic Music. Music and Information. Informativeness. Musical Categorization. Interculturality NOTA DO AUTOR Como demanda a norma acadêmica, estrangeirismos e palavras em outras línguas serão grafadas em itálico, mas termos do corpus de pesquisa aqui levantado abdicarão do itálico quando se tratar de palavras e termos familiarizados e recorrentes ao universo da música eletrônica, que é essencialmente internacionalizado (por exemplo, o termo “underground”). Grifos gerais em palavras e sentenças serão feitos com negrito, e aspas também serão utilizadas para o mesmo fim.

  • Forever the Black Smoke Blows in Krems’ [Auto-Translated from German]
    Kramar, Thomas. ‘Forever the black smoke blows in Krems’ [Auto-translated from German]. Die Presse Online. 26 April 2018 Forever the black smoke blows in Krems In the nineties it was in vogue to state ends. Today one fears the "endless present": this is the motto of this year's Danube Festival. How postmodern is that? Or is it again - modern? The virtual source never runs dry: "Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas)", video by John Gerrard. – © Danube Festival It was an anticipated, much-anticipated eruption: on January 10, 1901, oil spewed from a well at Spindletop Hill (southeast Texas), yes: to splash. Two months later, the nearby town of Beaumont was a boomtown and its population tripled. The Irish artist John Gerrard recalls the time when oil spilled on Spindletop Hill. In his video installation "Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas)" he simulates that this source would never run dry, would never run out, but only bring more dirt, not juice for traffic and industry: black smoke is constantly pouring out of the jets, into shape a flag. Gerrard suggests a trivial interpretation. "Among the greatest legacies of the 20th century are not only the population explosion and the better living conditions, but also the significantly increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere," he writes: "This flag gives this invisible gas, this international danger, a picture, a way to represent oneself. " Heaven is where nothing happens Thomas Edlinger, Director of the Danube Festival, now places Gerrard's video installation in Krems in a new context of meaning - as an illustration of this year's theme: "Endless Presence".

    AVANT ART FESTIVAL 10. edycja Avant Art Festival – 1. edycja AAF Warszawa | 02.10 - 11.10.2017 Wydarzenie na fb: https://www.facebook.com/events/205585549975529 Jubileuszowa, dziesiąta już edycja Avant Art Festival programowo oraz koncepcyjnie stanowi pomost pomiędzy ideą rozwijaną w poprzednich jego wydaniach a konsekwencją rozwoju festiwalu, za zadanie stawiającego sobie nieodmiennie możliwie najszerszą prezentację muzyki i sztuki eksperymentalnej i awangardowej. Tegoroczny AAF poza Wrocławiem (27.09-13.10) ze zmodyfikowanym programem odbywać się będzie również w Warszawie (02.10-11.10). Tym razem prezentacje muzyczne i filmowe koncentrować się będą na fenomenach dźwiękowych i wizualnych, które, często ekstremalnie – zawsze bezkompromisowo – operując na obrzeżach i stykach gatunków, w drodze redukcji / transgresji, ekspandują je w nowe rejestry. Począwszy od techno-kontyngentu, poprzez jazz/improv eksploracje, fuzje międzygatunkowe, aż po eksperymenty o charakterze ideowo-produkcyjnym i festiwalowe autoreferencje, program AAF 2017 można ująć jako logiczną kontynuację starych oraz inicjację nowych wątków. W 10. roku obecności we Wrocławiu po raz pierwszy festiwal zaprezentuje publiczności warszawskiej koncepcję zawieszoną pomiędzy ideą rozwijaną w poprzednich jego wydaniach a konsekwencją rozwoju festiwalu, za zadanie stawiającego sobie nieodmiennie możliwie najszerszą prezentację muzyki i sztuki eksperymentalnej i awangardowej. Wśród artystów zaproszonych na warszawską edycję festiwalu pojawią się ukochany przez Wrocław Dean Blunt,

  • Sweet Beats and Christmas Cheer: December New Album Reviews
    Sweet Beats And Christmas Cheer: December New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the temperature getting colder and snow in the air, what is better than gathering the family around the fire and listening to some tunes? Dad wants the Beatles, Mum Take That, while the kids demand One Direction and Thirty Seconds To Mars. But what you need is something all the family can enjoy! By JOHN BITTLES Luckily this December brings a stream of releases that could even put a smile on Granny’s grouchy old face. We have the alien art-house visions of Arca, the sub-aquatic warmth of Deepchord, the slacker rock stirrings of Cass McCombs, the stoned shoegaze of The Telescopes, the funk-strewn acid of Paranoid London and lots more. So, start warming those chestnuts, turn all iPhones and tablets off, and let us begin… This month we’ll start by entering Venezuelan artist Arca’s strange, electronic world. While last year’s debut full-length Xen was something of a disappointment, expectations have still been sky-high for the follow-up from the moment it was announced. His previous work with the likes of Bjork and FKA twigs highlighted how Arca was a single-minded entity whose unique mindset and vision marked him out as someone who could take music to places it had never been. At times angry and punishing, at others soft and tranquil, Mutant may be far from an easy listen, yet it is a thrilling one all the same.

  • How Do You Make Music a Body Without Organs? Gilles Deleuze
    How Do You Make Music a Body without Organs? Gilles Deleuze and Experimental Electronica Christoph Cox (This article appeared in German translation as “Wie wird Musik zu einem organlosen Körper? Gilles Deleuze und experimentale Elektronika” in Soundcultures: Über digitale und elektronische Musik, ed. Marcus S. Kleiner and Achim Szepanski [Frankfurt: Suhrkamp Verlag], 162–93. A version in Italian was published in Millesuoni: Deleuze, Guattari, e la Musica Elettronica, ed. Roberto Paci Dalo and Emanuele Quinz [Napoli: Edizioni Cronopio, 2006].) Gilles Deleuze wrote about music only in passing. Throughout his philosophical corpus, one finds a scattering of musical examples and references to the classical modernists (Berg, Messiaen, Varèse, Stockhausen, etc.) who were clearly his cultural heroes. Yet Deleuze never wrote about music with the same depth and dedication that he devoted to literature, cinema, and painting. It might seem odd, then, that, in the nine years since his suicide, Deleuze’s philosophy has come to be closely linked with music and, moreover, with a musical milieu very different from the one that he called his own. For Deleuze has become the intellectual hero of experimental “electronica”—electronic music with its roots in hip hop, house, and techno rather than in the tradition of classical modernism. This relationship was initially marked by the release, a year after Deleuze’s death, of two compilations of experimental electronica presented in his honor: Mille Plateaux’s In Memoriam Gilles Deleuze and Sub Rosa’s Folds and Rhizomes for Gilles Deleuze. Since then, the discourse around electronica has referenced Deleuze at every turn. What accounts for the curious connection between this philosophical ontologist and a music scene about which he knew little and wrote nothing? It is that Deleuze helps us to think how music might become a body without organs.

  • DEQ No.15 Interactive
    LETTER FROM THE DEQ STAFF Between the time of our previous edition and the one currently in your hands, Detroit Electronic Quarterly and the Detroit music community at-large lost one of its most generous, encouraging advocates. And quite simply one of the best people ever to set foot within city limits. LaVell Williams made his transition on Saturday Oc- tober 27th, 2018, and did so in a manner reflective of how he chose to live every single day: listening to the music of his heroes, holding hands of those who loved him deeply, and selflessly comforting everyone with grace, love and care. He was a tireless, vocal advocate for numerous move- ments and a generous participant. It was a common sight to see LaVell volunteering at a registration table for AIDS Walk Detroit, helping program the Michigan Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, setting up equipment at the inaugural Detroit Electronic Music Festival, or working with families to present quilts at the AIDS Quilt Project in Hart Plaza. One of the great loves of his life was helping to pre- serve the music and history of the city he loved so much. In 2011, he became a founding member of the Detroit Sound Conservancy. It was not uncommon to see LaVell and Conservancy founder Dr. Carleton Gholz running from a jazz concert at Baker’s to a rock show at the Majestic to an afterhours in Eastern Mar- ket, often all on the same night’s calendar, enjoying each with equal enthusiasm. or, friend, companion, sounding board, punching bag, LaVell was probably best known to readers of this pub- Mother Superior, hall monitor, drama negotiator, refer- lication as a manager of the legendary record store ee, family member and deeply beloved.
