    Mexican American History Resources at the Briscoe Center for American History: A Bibliography The Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin offers a wide variety of material for the study of Mexican American life, history, and culture in Texas. As with all ethnic groups, the study of Mexican Americans in Texas can be approached from many perspectives through the use of books, photographs, music, dissertations and theses, newspapers, the personal papers of individuals, and business and governmental records. This bibliography will familiarize researchers with many of the resources relating to Mexican Americans in Texas available at the Center for American History. For complete coverage in this area, the researcher should also consult the holdings of the Benson Latin American Collection, adjacent to the Center for American History.

  • JOHN ROBERTS - GLASS EIGHTS (CD, Do-LP) DIAL RECORDS (Distribution by KOMPAKT) Release Date: 27Th of September 2010 by Brooke Chroman
    TextText Text OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE JOHN ROBERTS - GLASS EIGHTS (CD, Do-LP) DIAL RECORDS (distribution by KOMPAKT) Release date: 27th of September 2010 by Brooke Chroman In 2008 John Roberts was asked by Carsten Jost, Pantha Du Prince and Lawrence to be the first American artist on the influential german Dial Records imprint. His releases for Dial and sister label Laid have all received major accolades for their distinct and refined aesthetic. Roberts currently lives in Berlin and performs regularly in Europe's preeminent clubs. His first full-length album debuts a sound impeccably curated! GLASS EIGHTS weaves a fragile lace of melancholy punctuated by intricate 808 patterns, as a synthesized splice confronts the pull of a violin in minor key; the echoes of a disco clap pierce the loom of a somber piano refrain. The narrative of a classic house track begins to deconstruct and unravel itself as Roberts reveals something off-kilter, darker and contemplative of its own genre. This self-reflexive quality is, in part, caused by Roberts’ hyper-acute sense of percussion: a beat drops just after instinct beckons and seems to both unravel and collect itself, resulting in tracks that negotiate the space between a solitary night with headphones and the center of a packed dance floor. With its contemplative instrumental weave, GLASS EIGHTS asks broader cultural questions about the psychological function of music as it blurs distinctions between sublimation and expression, escape and confrontation, medication and symptom, repression and reserve. The electric and grand piano, organ, violin, modular synthesizers and eclectic percussion split, shatter and reform, disclosing an aesthetic sensibility which delicately reflects on the eerie stillness of a grey day, the repetition of a single note on a detuned upright piano, a deflated balloon, the white of a funeral arrangement, exhibiting a kind of discrete, perverse hopefulness.

  • Pantha Du Prince: Conference Of
    Pantha Du Prince: Conference of Trees Start time: 8.30pm Running time: 2 hours including interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Martin Aston spoke to Hendrik Weber about giving trees a voice in his new project There are few spaces where a German musician specialising in adventurous and increasingly conceptual techno crosses paths with a 19th century German mathematician, current authors of studies in the communicative behaviour of flora and a 12th century Persian Sufi philosopher. It’s also very timely, as the subject of communication between trees is increasing in both scientific and media fronts. Yet, for the man otherwise known as Hendrik Weber, the genesis of Conference of Trees began two decades ago, in his home town of Baunatal, Central Germany, surrounded by deep forest. ‘I’ve been fascinated by trees since I was about nine, going into the forest, inventing adventures and building huts,’ he recalls. ‘But as you grow older, you start to move away from this sense of completeness. For me, I was hunting more for music and playing in bands, skateboarding and skiing.’ It’s on his own, as Pantha Du Prince (‘a fantasy character...a poetic transporter for the concept behind the music’) that Weber has carved a niche for a style of techno he calls, ‘layered and cinematographic.’ He released the Diamond Daze (2004) and This Bliss (2007) albums on Berlin dance label Dial before signing to Rough Trade and widening his audience with Black Noise (2010) and Elements of Light (2013). The last of these was a collaboration with Norwegian percussion ensemble The Bell Laboratory, after Weber had discovered the carillon, an organ-style instrument consisting of 23 bells while recording Black Noise in the Swiss mountains.

    PUNK AESTHETICS IN INDEPENDENT "NEW FOLK", 1990-2008 John Encarnacao Student No. 10388041 Master of Arts in Humanities and Social Sciences University of Technology, Sydney 2009 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Tony Mitchell for his suggestions for reading towards this thesis (particularly for pointing me towards Webb) and for his reading of, and feedback on, various drafts and nascent versions presented at conferences. Collin Chua was also very helpful during a period when Tony was on leave; thank you, Collin. Tony Mitchell and Kim Poole read the final draft of the thesis and provided some valuable and timely feedback. Cheers. Ian Collinson, Michelle Phillipov and Diana Springford each recommended readings; Zac Dadic sent some hard to find recordings to me from interstate; Andrew Khedoori offered me a show at 2SER-FM, where I learnt about some of the artists in this study, and where I had the good fortune to interview Dawn McCarthy; and Brendan Smyly and Diana Blom are valued colleagues of mine at University of Western Sydney who have consistently been up for robust discussions of research matters. Many thanks to you all. My friend Stephen Creswell’s amazing record collection has been readily available to me and has proved an invaluable resource. A hearty thanks! And most significant has been the support of my partner Zoë. Thanks and love to you for the many ways you helped to create a space where this research might take place.
