  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound. Keywords: electroclash; music producers; studio production; gender; electro; electronic dance music Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture 4(2): 27–47 ISSN 1947-5403 ©2011 Dancecult http://dj.dancecult.net DOI: 10.12801/1947-5403.2012.04.02.02 28 Dancecult 4(2) David Madden is a PhD Candidate (A.B.D.) in Communications at Concordia University (Montreal, QC).

  • 5. Iannis Xenakis
    5. Iannis Xenakis „C’était deux ou trois ans après l’invasion russe en Tchécoslovaquie. Je suis tombé amoreux de la musique de Varèse et de Xenakis. Je me demande pourquoi […].“ Milan Kundera: Une rencontre129 Recepce a teoretická reflexe tvorby Iannise Xenakise v našem prostředí není nijak významná. Když pomineme texty a studie, které jsou součástí lexik, vysokoškolských skript a obecných přehledů dějin hudby, stojí za zmínku především stať Milana Kundery Iannis Xenakis, prorok necitovosti. Ačkoliv se nejedná o muzikologickou studii, jejímu autorovi se (jako mnohokrát) daří popsat konkrétní rysy skladatelovy tvorby s daleko větší přesností, než jaké by byl zřejmě schopen muzikolog. Ve francouzské verzi se text objevuje v roce 1980 pod názvem Le refus intégral de l’héritage ou Iannis Xenakis (Naprosté odmítnutí dědictví aneb Iannis Xenakis). O to cennější je skutečnost, že se Kundera k původnímu textu vrací v nově vydané sbírce esejů Une rencontre. Přiznává v něm, že v hudbě Varèse a Xenakise nalezl zvláštní útěchu, která spočívá ve smíření s nevyhnutelností konečnosti. Prorokem necitovosti nazval Carl Gustav Jung Jamese Joyce ve své analýze Odyssea. Zde také přichází s tezí, že citovost je nadstavbou brutality. Vyvážení této sentimentality přinášejí proroci asentimentality, podle Junga Joyce, podle Kundery Xenakis. Podle Kundery hudba vždy svojí subjektivitou čelila objektivitě světa. Existují však okamžiky, kdy se subjektivita nebo také emocionalita (která za normálních okolností vrací člověka k jeho podstatě a zmírňuje chlad intelektu) stává nástrojem brutality a zla. V takových okamžicích se naopak objektivní hudba stává krásou, která smývá nánosy emocionality a tlumí barbarství sentimentu. Xenakisův postoj k historii hudby je podle Kundery radikálně odmítavý.

  • Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic an Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi
    Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik).

The "electroclash" movement was basically a revival of the dance-punk style of the new wave. It was New York dj Lawrence "Larry Tee" who coined the term, and the first Electroclash Festival was held in that city in 2001. However, the movement had its origins on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. One could argue that electroclash was born with Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass (1997), released by Belgian dj Ferenc van der Sluijs under the moniker I-f. At about the same time German house dj Helmut-Josef "DJ Hell" Geier was promoting a scene in Berlin that was basically electroclash. Another forerunner was French dj Caroline "Miss Kittin" Herve', who had recorded the EP Champagne (1998), a collaboration with Michael "The Hacker" Amato that included the pioneering hit 1982. The duo joined the fad that they had pioneered with First Album (2001). Britain was first exposed to electroclash when Liverpool's Ladytron released He Took Her To A Movie (1999), that was basically a cover of Kraftwerk's The Model. Next came Liverpool's Robots In Disguise with the EP Mix Up Words and Sounds (2000).
