Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections.

It is a grand torch song, a conversation between a man and a woman — definitely old friends, maybe also lovers — with a conceit as old as pop . ” – NPR Music “Songs We Love” “The beautiful video finds the camera lingering down a row of shops and storefronts, almost like a contemporary Western, as the late afternoon sky allows the neon signs to really come to life.” — Indiewire’s The Playlist Throughout their two-decade career, TiNdersticks have become known as masters of restraint and human emotion, led by the sophistication and rich baritone of Stuart Staples. On January 22nd via City SlaNg, the band will release The Waiting Room, their most elaborate and diverse album to date. It’s also an ambitious collaborative film project where each song on the album will be accompanied by a short film. The idea for this was created in conjunction with the ClermoNt-FerraNd INterNatiONal ShOrt Film Festival and its chief CalmiN Borel. Calmin’s great knowledge of short film coupled with Tindersticks’ very definite sense of aesthetic were a strong foundation for this concept. Specific filmmakers were approached with a different song from the album, resulting in a varied collection of styles and techniques that are a perfect foil to Staples’ intimate relationship with the songs.

  • Presse Tindersticks
    Medieninformation FM4 präsentiert tindersticks The Something Rain-Tour 2012 „Noch einmal gelingt den englischen Romantikern ein furioses poetisches Meisterwerk.“ Rolling Stone Magazin 19 Jahre nach Veröffentlichung ihres Debüt-Albums, präsentiert eine der vielleicht wichtigsten, definitiv aber eigenwilligsten Independent Pop-Bands Großbritanniens, das Programm ihres brandneuen (neunten) Albums "The Something Rain" - in ausgesuchten Locations und in exklusivem Theater-Rahmen! Es heißt (die) tindersticks führten "Shakespeare'sche Tragik in den Alternative Rock ein", und laut Der Spiegel gibt es niemand, der "tristem Liebesleid ähnlich elegant etwas abgewinnen könne", wie die 1991 in Nottingham (GB) gegründete Independent Pop-Formation. Die Namensgebung geht auf die zufällige Begegnung ihres (stets leicht die Töne verschluckenden) Sängers, "Berufsmelancholikers" & Gitarristen Stuart A. Staples, mit einer achtlos weggeworfenen Streichholzschachtel während eines Griechenland-Urlaubes zurück. Der Rest ist zwei Jahrzehnte währende Geschichte, von tindersticks gefüllt mit ihrem ganz eigenen, unverkennbaren Sound und ihrer eigene Klang-Ästhetik. Staples Einsatz seines Baritons, "dem wir gebannt zuhören würden, selbst wenn er das Telefonbuch singt", wie das Magazin TBA zum 2010 erschienenen Album „Falling Down A Mountain" formulierte, erweiterte die Definition des Begriffs „Soul“. Die oftmals kammermusikalisch anmutende Umsetzung ihrer Songs führte zu zahlreichen Instrumental-Arbeiten etwa für Film-Soundtracks – dabei sind tindersticks Songs schon

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Tindersticks Son Ya Unos Clásicos Contemporáneos, El Equivalente Al Malogrado Scott Walker Para La Generación Indie. Empezaro
    tindersticks son ya unos clásicos contemporáneos, el equivalente al malogrado Scott Walker para la generación indie. Empezaron su andadura en 1991, dos años antes de debutar discográficamente con "Tindersticks I", álbum en el que ya mostraron muchos de los rasgos distintivos que han marcaron su trayectoria. Con arreglos de y para sibaritas y la voz de barítono de Stuart Staples, sus canciones se lanzaban por las sendas de Gainsbourg y Hazlewood. Al frente, un "crooner" distinguido para los momentos melancólicos y dándole cobertura, una ristra de de instrumentos que flotaban o lloraban -violines, carillón, trompeta, vibráfono, órgano Hammond...-. Del excelso pop de cámara de sus primeros tres álbumes, recibidos por la crítica con los brazos abiertos, pasaron a arrimarse al soul con "Simple Pleasure" (1999) y "Can Our Love..." (2001), demostrando a los escépticos que también sabían mantener el listón muy alto cuando aligeraban el equipaje y que su libro de estilo no era tan estático como les achacaban. Aunque en 2005, cuando Staples inició su carrera en solitario, hubo rumores de ruptura, se quedaron en eso, despejados por su séptimo trabajo, "The Hungry Saw" (2008). En 2012, con "The Something Rain", su noveno álbum (siete bandas sonoras para cine, fondos sonoros para museos e instalaciones de arte y discos en directo al margen), reivindicaron de nuevo su elegancia inmarcesible. Tres de sus miembros originales (el arriba citado Staples más Neil Fraser y David Boulter, junto al bajista Dan McKinna y el batería Earl Harvin) fueron quienes grabaron su décimo LP, "The Waiting Room", que se publicó en enero de 2016, reforzado además con un sólido proyecto visual: un cortometraje de cada una de sus canciones, iniciativa comisionada por diversos directores de cine.

  • Claire Denis Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Claire Denis Dialogue with Eric Hynes, 2012 Eric Hynes: We’re at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis for a Regis Dialogue with Claire Denis. Tonight’s program is called “Claire Denis: Unpredictable Universe,” and we’ll talk with Claire about her remarkable career as a film director. From her first film, Chocolat, to her latest, White Material, Denis has explored the human costs and political perversions of colonialism, inhabiting African landscapes with both a physical intimacy and psychic estrangement. Eric Hynes: And in films like Nénette et Boni, and 35 Shots of Rum, she approaches the domestic sphere with an equal degree of mystery and expansiveness, approaching the everyday with curiosity, sensuality, and rigorous humanity. And with her masterpieces Beau Travail and The Intruder, Denis pursued abstractive narratives of seductive tactility. They pulse, and breathe, and invite the viewer to inhabit them as much as see them. Eric Hynes: She shoots for that sweet spot with film form, contemplates consciousness where the advancing present instantly retreats to a remembered past, and where what’s literal overlaps with what’s imagined. I’m Eric Hynes, a New York– based writer and critic. Now, we’ll begin our Regis Dialogue with Claire Denis. Claire Denis: Good evening. Eric Hynes: Hello everybody. So, I think we’re actually going to start with a clip to begin things. Well, it’s actually the first sequence of Claire’s first film, Chocolat. Video: [foreign language] Eric Hynes: Well, before I even start then, do you feel a connection to the filmmaker still who made that? Claire Denis: Yes and no, because me, I’m not the same of course, and this country Cameroon is not the same either.
