The study further attempts to establish the characteristics of fashion film to include cloth, the body and movement and provide a methodology that locates fashion film as a sign system using a visual semiotic analysis framework. The films were then compared and contrasted to determine similarities and differences in their use of cloth, the body and movement. The findings from the film analysis suggest that cloth, the body and movement communicate symbolic meaning in the films based on their associated meanings that are generated both inside and outside the film context. By focussing on cloth, the body and movement as primary communicators (rather than secondary or supporting communicators) in film, new meanings can be interpreted from their interrelationship. The results inform new ways for fashion designers and fashion filmmakers to engage with cloth, the body and movement in fashion film. x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY 1.1. Introduction to the field of study: Looking at fashion film Hollander (1988:1) writes that “the fascinating capacity of cloth to bunch, stretch, hang, or flutter, to be smooth or unsmooth under different circumstances, to be wrought upon and then restored, and wrought upon differently another time” contributes to cloth’s potential to communicate meaning in a number of contexts. Whether in a gigantic cracking sail, the billowing costume of a dancer or the smooth caress of a summer dress, moving cloth can symbolise meaning and invoke possible perceptions or interpretations for both the wearer and the viewer. When captured on film, the movement of cloth, whether as loose spanning lengths or fashioned into constructed forms, can signify both literal and figurative meanings. Developing an understanding of how the movement of cloth and the body on film communicates meaning and how fashion articulates meaning in film can support gaining insight into a genre primarily concerned with fashion communication, namely fashion film. This study explores the way “an intimate narrative of the garment” is created through the filmic representation of the body in movement and its relationship to cloth (Knight in Davis 2010:9). The study aims to explores the genre of fashion film and develop criteria and methods for analysing films that use cloth, the body and movement to communicate meaning. The study further sets out to determine if possible symbolic meaning can be communicated with cloth, the body and movement on film. Visual semiotics and a communication studies perspective will form part of the methods used in the analysis of Loïe Fuller’s Rusty Nails and Moderat’s Serpentine Dance to determine how they utilised cloth, the body and movement to communicate possible symbolic meaning.

  • May 18, 2016 for Immediate Release WATCH MODERAT's “RUNNING
    May 18, 2016 For Immediate Release WATCH MODERAT’S “RUNNING” VIDEO https://youtu.be/tVawpT44Hrk MODERAT KICK OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR THIS FRIDAY MODERAT’S III OUT NOW VIA MUTE/MONKEYTOWN ModerAt, the alliance of electronic heavy weights, Modeselektor and AppArAt, kick off their North American tour in support of new album, III, this Friday in New York. They’ll be joined throughout by longtime creative collaborators, PfadfiNderei, who will take the reins on visual production. Last week, Moderat announced the release of the album’s second single, “RuNNiNg,” which presents a highly emotive kind of pop, built for dancing, but never simple. Today, the trio reveals the single’s visual accompaniment, directed by JAkob GruNert. Grunert uses the incessant momentum of “Running” to narrate a pilot’s final flight in the Mojave Desert. After abandoning his plane in an aircraft boneyard, the pilot grapples with the frailty of purpose and the pursuit of rebirth. The story goes hand-in-hand with Apparat’s description of “Running” in that the song is about being part of a mass that constantly needs to move to function, but a mass that’s not deciding directions by itself. Mute/MoNkeytown will release “Running,” featuring the exclusive b-side, “90% WAsser,” on May 20th. The digital bundle includes remixes by Shed and KiNK. The “RuNNiNg” 10”, available July 1st, will feature both remixes, and the “RuNNiNg” 12”, available July 15th, will feature the original track and exclusive b-side.

  • Some Albums to Keep Your Toes Warm This October Pt 2
    Some Albums To Keep Your Toes Warm This October Pt 2. Bittles‘ Magazine | Record Review I was arm-wrestling a tiger the other day (my editor told me I had to make the beginning of my articles more exciting) when I suddenly realised that I had no time for such frivolity as I had some great albums to review. Quickly admitting defeat, I retreated to my listening studio (bedroom) and immersed myself in some of the fantastic records that will be hitting the record store shelves this October. By JOHN BITTLES We have the UK house of Huxley, the indie bleakness of Grouper, the disco diva-isms of Munk, the techno bass of Distal and so much more. But really, in a month when there is, finally, a new album by Glaswegian duo Slam, there is only one place we can begin. Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle have long been established as bona fide legends of the house and techno scene! Their record label Soma is over 400 releases old, their DJ sets at clubs like The Sub Club and The Arches in Glasgow are discussed with an air of awed reverence, and, as Slam, the duo have released some of the finest electronic music known to man. And now, in the year 2014 they give us their first album in seven years with the deep and moody brilliance of Reverse Proceed. The cinematic ambience of Tokyo Subway, Visual Capture and the title track open proceedings and are the perfect introduction to the deliciously deep sounds to come. In fact it’s not until the techno futurism of Synchronicity that we even get our very first sign of a beat.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • MODERAT III: Le Date: 28 Aprile Milano, Alcatraz 29 Aprile Roma, Spazio Novecento
    MODERAT III: Le date: 28 aprile Milano, Alcatraz 29 aprile Roma, Spazio Novecento 26/01/2016 Gernot Bronsert, Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor)e Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) tornano in Italia per due imperdibili date per presentare il nuovo atteso album della loro creatura, MODERAT III, in uscita il 1 aprile per Monkeytown Records e definitiva consacrazione del progetto Moderat. Perfezione maniacale, ma anche felicità creativa, ed innata capacità a completarsi artisticamente l'uno con l'altro. L'unione fra i tedeschi Modeselektor ed Apparat nel progetto Moderat è davvero una delle avventure più esaltanti nella musica elettronica dell'ultimo decennio. Lo è per la statura dei singoli protagonisti: i Modeselektor fin dal loro debutto, con la loro techno creativa e piena di colpi di scena, si sono guadagnati i favori della stampa specializzata ma anche di star come Thom Yorke (prima loro fan e poi direttamente collaboratore), Apparat dal canto suo sia come solista che in collaborazione con Ellen Allien si è guadagnato la fama di producer incredibilmente bravo e sensibile nello sposare elettronica, ritmi e fortissimo senso melodico. Risultato: entrambi ormai, ad ogni apparizione italiana, radunano pubblici foltissimi e inanellano sold out. Moderat diventa il modo migliore per unire il potenziale artistico di queste due entità così importanti. Non si sovrappongono fra di loro in questo progetto, diventano invece perfettamente complementari: la potenza ritmica e l'impatto ipnotico dei Modeselektor, la preziosità dei ricami armonici e melodici di Apparat. Un equilibrio perfetto, a cui si arriva peraltro non senza fatica. Il loro primo lavoro in comune, l'ep “Auf Kosten Der Gesundheit” (2003), racconta già dal titolo (“Al costo della salute”) quanto è stato complesso arrivare alla giusta misura e alla giusta interazione, figlie di sfibranti sedute in studio di registrazione all'insegna del più maniacale perfezionismo.

    Course Title Popular Music in Germany The History of Electronic Music in Germany Course Number REMU-UT.9811001 SAMPLE SYLLABUS Instructors’ Contact Information Heiko Hoffmann [email protected] Course Details Wednesdays, 6:15pm to 7:30pm Location of class: NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room “Prenzlauer Berg” (tbc) Prerequisites No pre-requisites Units earned 2 credits Course Description From Karlheinz Stockhausen and Kraftwerk to Giorgio Moroder, D.A.F. and the Euro Dance of Snap!, the first nine weeks of class consider the history of German electronic music prior to the Fall of the Wall in 1989. We will particularly look at how electronic music developed in Germany before the advent of house and techno in the late 1980s. One focus will be on regional scenes, such as the Düsseldorf school of electronic music in the 1970s with music groups such as Cluster, Neu! and Can, the Berlin school of synthesizer pioneers like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching, or Giorgio Moroder's Sound of Munich. Students will be expected to competently identify key musicians and recordings of this creative period. The second half of the course looks more specifically at the arrival of techno, a new musical movement, and new technology in Berlin and Germany in the turbulent years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, up to the present. Indeed, Post-Wall East Berlin, full of abandoned spaces and buildings and deserted office blocks, was the perfect breeding ground for the youth culture that would dominate the 1990s and led techno pioneers and artists from the East and the West to take over and set up shop.
