  • House, Techno & the Origins of Electronic Dance Music
    HOUSE, TECHNO & THE ORIGINS OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC 1 EARLY HOUSE AND TECHNO ARTISTS THE STUDIO AS AN INSTRUMENT TECHNOLOGY AND ‘MISTAKES’ OR ‘MISUSE’ 2 How did we get here? disco electro-pop soul / funk Garage - NYC House - Chicago Techno - Detroit Paradise Garage - NYC Larry Levan (and Frankie Knuckles) Chicago House Music House music borrowed disco’s percussion, with the bass drum on every beat, with hi-hat 8th note offbeats on every bar and a snare marking beats 2 and 4. House musicians added synthesizer bass lines, electronic drums, electronic effects, samples from funk and pop, and vocals using reverb and delay. They balanced live instruments and singing with electronics. Like Disco, House music was “inclusive” (both socially and musically), infuenced by synthpop, rock, reggae, new wave, punk and industrial. Music made for dancing. It was not initially aimed at commercial success. The Warehouse Discotheque that opened in 1977 The Warehouse was the place to be in Chicago’s late-’70s nightlife scene. An old three-story warehouse in Chicago’s west-loop industrial area meant for only 500 patrons, the Warehouse often had over 2000 people crammed into its dark dance foor trying to hear DJ Frankie Knuckles’ magic. In 1982, management at the Warehouse doubled the admission, driving away the original crowd, as well as Knuckles. Frankie Knuckles and The Warehouse "The Godfather of House Music" Grew up in the South Bronx and worked together with his friend Larry Levan in NYC before moving to Chicago. Main DJ at “The Warehouse” until 1982 In the early 80’s, as disco was fading, he started mixing disco records with a drum machines and spacey, drawn out lines.

  • TONY COKES Music, Text, Politics
    TONY COKES Music, text, politics ► This first solo exhibition by Tony Cokes in Spain aims to be a gateway to the exploration of what the artist calls the ‘representational regimes of image and sound’. ► The exhibition invites us to change the way we process information through reading text, seeing and responding to images, listening to music, and absorbing the political and advertising slogans that assail us at every step. ► Through his videos, Cokes thus explores and subverts cultural and political discourses embedded in pop music, electronics, television, film, and art itself. ► The artist draws from popular and theoretical texts and quotes from a wide range of figures such as Paul Gilroy, Louis Althusser, Malcolm X, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Mark Fisher, Public Enemy, Morrissey, and Donald Trump, combining them with the intention of making a political and social critique of capitalism. Título: TONY COKES. Msic, text, politics Opening: 23 October de 2020 Dates: 23 octuber 2020 - 7 febreuary 2021.

RAULIN, Anne Professeure, Université Nanterre-La Défense, Rapporteure M. BUTLER J., Mark Professeur, Bienen School of Music, Rapporteur Soutenue par Frédéric TROTTIER M. GALLET, Bastien le 14 décembre 2018 Professeur, Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin, h Membre du jury M. WYNN R. Jonathan Dirigée par M. Denis LABORDE Professeur, University of Massachussets, Membre du jury h REMERCIEMENTS Le monde des musiques électroniques m‟a d‟abord touché par son aspect spectaculaire, collectif et de partage. Cette recherche sur cinq ans entre Paris et Detroit n‟a pas manqué de continuer à tisser des liens précieux. Tout d‟abord des liens nouveaux - et certainement impensables - si je n‟avais pas réalisé ce projet de partir à Detroit. J‟ai très rapidement compris ce que l‟amicalité du Midwest, sur les lèvres de nombreux hôtes, et plus spécifiquement celles de Détroit signifiait. Je souhaite donc remercier ceux qui m‟ont touché par leurs propos et leurs gestes d‟accueil et d‟échange, et particulièrement Malcolm, Laura, Alex, Patrick, Mickaël et Corinne. Je souhaite aussi adresser mes remerciements à deux personnalités qui m‟ont beaucoup marqué, et ce malgré le temps court passer avec elles: Tina Carlita Nelson et John Collins. Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement celui qui orchestre de bien des manières différentes une émulation autour de « ce que la musique dit du monde ».
