À PROPOS DE NICO PAR SUSANNA NICCHIARELLI La musique de Nico était âpre, mais c’était de loin l’une des productions avons relevé le défi qu’elle puisse toucher le public. Avec Trine comme musicales les plus intéressantes et exigeantes de son époque : elle a créé avec les autres comédiens, notamment John Gordon Sinclair, j’ai utilisé un style unique alliant recherches personnelles, expérimentations et ironie, le regard des partenaires de Nico, du manager aux membres du groupe, refusant obstinément de se soucier du succès commercial.

    John Cale & Band GB Mario Batkovic BA Ve 01.09 20:30 John Cale © DR Alhambra Ouverture des portes à 19h30 Line up : 20h30 Mario Batkovic / 21h30 John Cale Configuration de salle assis et debout, tarif identique pour toutes les places Peut-on, doit-on encore présenter John Cale ? Membre du mythique et influent Velvet Under- ground, il est un pionnier ayant changé la vie de milliers de personnes et celle d’illustres musiciens: aussi longue que sa liste d’albums solo (une vingtaine), celle de ses collabora- tions, de Brian Eno à Terry Riley en passant par Patti Smith et The Stooges, indique autant son pédigrée que son envergure artistique, le faisant passer d’un style à l’autre. Malgré tout, et peu importe son statut d’Officier de l’Ordre de l’Empire britannique, Cale reste fondamentalement rock. Avec son band, il se penchera sur son immense répertoire pour un concert sensationnel. En ouverture, vous resterez scotchés par les prouesses de Mario Batkovic, un helvético-bos- niaque à l’approche inclassable qui fait son- ner son accordéon comme du Philip Glass. Sur- prenant ! La Bâtie 2017 Dossier de presse John Cale Les débuts John Cale naît le 9 mars 1942 à Garnant, au sud du Pays de Galles, d’un père mineur de fond qui ne parle que le gallois, et d’une mère institutrice. Très tôt, il montre de bonnes dispositions pour la musique ; envoyé au Goldsmith College de Londres pour une formation classique, il apprend l’alto, le piano et la guitare. En 1963 la bourse Leo- nard Bernstein lui permet d’intégrer le conservatoire Eastman à Tanglewood, dans le Massachusetts, pour y apprendre la composition contemporaine.

  • Experimental
    Experimental Discussão de alguns exemplos Earle Brown ● Earle Brown (December 26, 1926 – July 2, 2002) was an American composer who established his own formal and notational systems. Brown was the creator of open form,[1] a style of musical construction that has influenced many composers since—notably the downtown New York scene of the 1980s (see John Zorn) and generations of younger composers. ● ● Among his most famous works are December 1952, an entirely graphic score, and the open form pieces Available Forms I & II, Centering, and Cross Sections and Color Fields. He was awarded a Foundation for Contemporary Arts John Cage Award (1998). Terry Riley ● Terrence Mitchell "Terry" Riley (born June 24, 1935) is an American composer and performing musician associated with the minimalist school of Western classical music, of which he was a pioneer. His work is deeply influenced by both jazz and Indian classical music, and has utilized innovative tape music techniques and delay systems. He is best known for works such as his 1964 composition In C and 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air, both considered landmarks of minimalist music. La Monte Young ● La Monte Thornton Young (born October 14, 1935) is an American avant-garde composer, musician, and artist generally recognized as the first minimalist composer.[1][2][3] His works are cited as prominent examples of post-war experimental and contemporary music, and were tied to New York's downtown music and Fluxus art scenes.[4] Young is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in Western drone music (originally referred to as "dream music"), prominently explored in the 1960s with the experimental music collective the Theatre of Eternal Music.

I developed the first robust protocol to grow embryonic intestinal explants in culture. Demonstrated key roles of the enteric nervous system in coordinating contractions of longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers, giving rise to peristaltic transport. I demonstrated how the pressure-sensitive reflex of the intestine arises during embryonic development by asymmetric mechanosensitive neural inhibition of the smooth muscle layer. Revealed a nematic orientation phase transition of neurons in the developing mouse gut, driven by extracellular matrix (second harmonic generation microscopy).

  • Album Review of the Velvet Underground & Nico
    Album Review of The Velvet Underground & Nico – Artifacts Journal - University of Mi... Page 1 of 4 University of Missouri A Journal of Undergraduate Writing Album Review of The Velvet Underground & Nico Sam Jennings Sam Jennings started attending the University of Missouri in 2012 and is currently pursuing a bachelor of music performance in guitar. He writes in his spare time and fronts a local Columbia rock band, “The Rollups”. He is thankful to Dr. Michael J. Budds for encouraging him and his submission to this journal. He wrote this paper as one part of a multi-paper project in Historical Studies in Jazz and Popular Music, taught by Dr. Michael J. Budds. They were expected to choose a musician (before 1970) and review a full-length LP by that artist; he felt particularly inclined to make the case for a set of truly bizarre, radical artists who have been historically misunderstood and misaligned. When The Velvet Underground & Nico was released in March of 1967, it was to a public that hardly cared and a critical establishment that could not make heads or tails of it. Its sales were dismal, due in part to legal troubles, and MGM’s bungled attempts at promoting the record. The Velvet Underground’s seedy, druggy music defiantly reflected an urban attitude even closer to the beatniks than Bob Dylan and even more devoted to rock n’ roll primitivism than The Rolling Stones or The Who. Nevertheless, the recording had no place in a landscape soon to be dominated by San Francisco psychedelics and high- concept British pop.

  • An Examination of Minimalist Tendencies in Two Early Works by Terry Riley Ann Glazer Niren Indiana University Southeast First I
    An Examination of Minimalist Tendencies in Two Early Works by Terry Riley Ann Glazer Niren Indiana University Southeast First International Conference on Music and Minimalism University of Wales, Bangor Friday, August 31, 2007 Minimalism is perhaps one of the most misunderstood musical movements of the latter half of the twentieth century. Even among musicians, there is considerable disagreement as to the meaning of the term “minimalism” and which pieces should be categorized under this broad heading.1 Furthermore, minimalism is often referenced using negative terminology such as “trance music” or “stuck-needle music.” Yet, its impact cannot be overstated, influencing both composers of art and rock music. Within the original group of minimalists, consisting of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass2, the latter two have received considerable attention and many of their works are widely known, even to non-musicians. However, Terry Riley is one of the most innovative members of this auspicious group, and yet, he has not always received the appropriate recognition that he deserves. Most musicians familiar with twentieth century music realize that he is the composer of In C, a work widely considered to be the piece that actually launched the minimalist movement. But is it really his first minimalist work? Two pieces that Riley wrote early in his career as a graduate student at Berkeley warrant closer attention. Riley composed his String Quartet in 1960 and the String Trio the following year. These two works are virtually unknown today, but they exhibit some interesting minimalist tendencies and indeed foreshadow some of Riley’s later developments.
