Pink Floyd Et Le Rock Progressif Pink Floyd et le rock progressif. Le rock progressif (ou rock expérimental) présente un style plus libre, qui expérimente d’autres influences musicales venant du jazz, du classique, de l'électroacoustique et de la musique ethno. Cette nouvelle approche est directement visible sur la forme : à la place d’une structure habituelle de chanson - primauté de la mélodie, rythme simple, alternance couplet-refrain, durée courte -, les compositions sont plus longues, plus libres dans leur structure, souvent instrumentales. Pink Floyd : Le groupe. Le nom du groupe vient des Il se compose de : prénoms de 2 bluesmen : Roger Waters : basse, chant Pink Anderson Nick Mason : batterie, percussions + Floyd Council Richard Wright : claviers, chant (Syd Barret), remplacé dès 68 par = Pink Floyd. David Gilmour : guitare, chant Atom Heart Mother (1970) La formation C'est le 5e album du groupe. Il s'inscrit dans la lignée des groupes qui, à cette époque, expérimentent le domaine de la musique orchestrale. Aux 4 musiciens du groupe se rajoutent des cuivres, un Violoncelle - Cuivres - Chœur mixte violoncelle et un chœur mixte (sans paroles). Ces parties ont été écrites par Ron Geesin, musicien expérimental qui a Guitare - Basse - Clavier - Batterie collaboré au projet. La forme 1.

Le titre définitif d'Atom Heart Mother fut inspiré d'un article d'un quotidien britannique intitulé: "Nuclear drive for woman's heart" [Le cœur d'une femme fonctionne à l'énergie nucléaire]. De même que pour les titres des différentes parties, ce titre n'a aucun lien direct avec les sensations évoquées par la musique ! La pochette Après la vogue du psychédélisme, proche du pop art, qui a notamment inspiré les pochettes délirantes et hyper colorées de nombreux albums, celle d'Atom étonne par : - sa simplicité - son sujet inattendu et sans rapport avec le contenu de l'album (une vache dans un pré, "Lulubelle") - et le fait qu'elle ne porte aucune inscription, même pas le nom du groupe ! Elle contribuera de manière non négligeable au succès de l'album… Andy Warhol (pop art) .

  • Obscured by Clouds (Vinyl-Reissue)
    Pink Floyd – Obscured By Clouds (Vinyl-Reissue) (40:24, LP, Pink Floyd Records/Warner, 1972/2016) „Obscured By Clouds“, das im Juni 1972 erstmals veröffentlicht wurde, dürfte das am wenigsten beachtete Album in der Diskographie von Pink Floyd sein. Nach „More“ war es die zweite Soundtrack-Arbeit der Band, zuvor hatte sie mit „Atom Heart Mother“ und „Meddle“ zwei frühe Meilensteine veröffentlicht. Im Vergleich dazu klingt „Obscured By Clouds“, das in zwei kurzen Studio-Sessions im Frühjahr 1972 geschrieben und aufgenommen wurde, schlicht. Experimente und floyd’scher Pioniergeist finden auf diesem Werk nicht statt, kurze Instrumentals und einfache Songformate bilden die Grundlage für dieses Album. Das von Roger Waters gesungene ‚Free Four‘ wurde in einigen Ländern als Single veröffentlicht. Der Song hat eine starke, möglicherweise sogar beabsichtigte Ähnlichkeit mit ‚Spirit In The Sky‚ von Norman Greenbaum und klingt abgesehen von Waters‘ markanter Stimme völlig untypisch für Pink Floyd. ‚Burning Bridges‘ hingegen ist eine recht typischeDavid- Gilmour-Ballade, die dessen Beiträgen auf zuvor veröffentlichten Alben ähnelt. Den Instrumentals hört man ihre kurze Entstehungszeit, aber auch eine gewisse Spontanität an. In gewisser Weise zeigt „Obcured By Clouds“ letztmals eine Seite der Band, die man fortan nicht mehr hören sollte, schließlich begann mit dem nachfolgenden „The Dark Side Of The Moon“ eine gänzlich andere Ära. Die vorliegende Vinyl-Wiederveröffentlichung bringt dieses Werk klanglich auf einen ähnlichen Standard wie die gleichzeitig wiederveröffentlichten Alben „Atom Heart Mother“ und „Meddle“. Das Cover ist ebenfalls wieder der Erstveröffentlichung nachempfunden und weist die auffällig abgerundeten Ecken auf. Letztlich ist „Obscured By Clouds“ ein Album für Sammler und Komplettisten, oder eben für Leute die jeden Entwicklungsschritt der Band nachvollziehen möchten.

Along the way, one of their founding members bailed due to mental problems—yet his unintended influence on the band remained eerily active. In their use of complex recording techniques and newly-invented electronic instruments, they were decades ahead of their time. The amazing visuals, both projected and animatronic, became an integral part of their stage presentation. Their albums were more than collections of musical tracks, and their concerts became more than mere performances of their music. Everything they did was larger than life, but the vicissitudes of life eventually tore the band apart. Course Goal In this course we will examine the career arc of this band from several perspectives. We will read the autobiography of a band member, Nick Mason, but also review the story from an outsider’s perspective, journalist Mark Blake. The class will also divide into small groups who will review and present the musical material, album by album, according to guidelines of their choosing.

In October 2006 Mike Eldred (head of Fender Custom Shop) and Todd Krause (Fender master builder) arrived in England to dissect, measure and take specific details in order to make a prototype replica of the Black Strat. Several months later a specially adapted Stratocaster test guitar arrived with five pickguards, each fitted with sets of different pickups. These were changeable within seconds to enable pickup comparisons to be easily made. In April 2007 the first prototype of the Black Strat arrived in England. Overall, it was found to be a good replication, requiring but a few changes. David compared his original Black Strat to the prototype and the different pickups in the test guitar to find the closest match. Over the next few months, three further modified prototypes followed for approval. Before Fender would be allowed to begin production, the guitar had to meet David’s high standards and be the best replica possible.

LE MOT ET LE RESTE ALEXANDRE HIGOUNET PINK FLOYD which one’s pink? le mot et le reste 2018 INTRODUCTION Si son succès planétaire s’est d’abord bâti sur des chansons comme « Money » ou « Another Brick In The Wall part 2 », Pink Floyd, dans l’imaginaire du grand public, est avant tout un groupe « spatial ». Ce n’est pas sans justification. Du psychédé- lisme pop de The Piper At The Gate Of Dawn à l’instru mental The Endless River, la musique du Floyd a régulièrement pris de la hauteur et laissé de l’espace… au temps 1. Dans le numéro de Disc And Music Echo en date du 22 novembre 1969, David 1. Petit rappel historique. En 1966-1967, Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett, guitare chant ; Roger Waters, basse chant ; Rick Wright, claviers chant ; Nick Mason, batterie) rencontre une première phase de succès dans l’under- ground londonien, grâce aux compositions de Syd Barrett, remplacé par David Gilmour (guitare chant) début 1968 du fait de problèmes mentaux, après une tentative avortée d’un mois en formation à cinq. Dans sa forma- tion Waters-Gilmour-Wright-Mason, Pink Floyd devient un groupe plané- taire grâce à Dark Side Of The Moon en 1973. Roger Waters augmente son emprise sur le quatuor au point d’en devenir le leader absolu à la fin des années soixante-dix. Il décide de quitter le groupe en 1985 pensant déclarer son arrêt de mort. Pas pour David Gilmour, qui remet Pink Floyd en marche de 1986 à 1994 avec Nick Mason et Rick Wright, avec deux albums à la clé.
