Pink Floyd Sogni E Visioni Stellari Anselmo Patacchini Pink Floyd Sogni e visioni stellari Anselmo Patacchini rassegna domenicale The Spontaneous Underground organizzata dal duo Steve Stollman e da John Hopkins. I Pink Floyd si cimentarono in lunghe e sconvolgenti versioni di Roadrunner e di altri pezzi di Chuck Berry, divertendosi, inoltre, a sovrapporre strati di feedback a volume altissimo. Peter Jenner (professore alla London School Of Economics) e l'amico Andrew King rimasero inebriati da quelle sonorità fuori dagli schemi e decisero di puntare su quei quattro talentuosi ragazzi a tal punto da formare assieme a loro la Blackhill Enterprises, società che avrebbe curato il management. Il 15 ottobre i Pink Floyd, o meglio, la Pink Floyd Steel Band - così annunciavano le locandine dell'epoca - assieme ai Soft Machine «Il sole splende sul mio cuscino/più Questo articolo, che riporta le fasi - gruppo di punta - si cimentarono salienti della lunga carriera dei mitici alla Roundhouse (una vecchia soffice di un piumino.../Vorrei che il Pink Floyd dagli esordi sino al 1969, stazione ferroviaria londinese in salice piangente agitasse intorno i vuole essere un doveroso omaggio disuso) che festeggiava con uno rami.../Sogno Julia/la sogno regina, alla figura di Syd Barrett, il geniale scatenato All Night-Rave la nascita artista passato a miglior vita lo dell'International Times (IT), la regina di tutti i miei sogni...» scorso 7 luglio.

  • News Release
    News release EMBARGOED UNTIL: 12 April 2017 Prog rock giants Pink Floyd honoured in naming of newly- discovered – and, yes, bright pink – pistol shrimp A strikingly bright pink-clawed species of pistol shrimp, discovered on the Pacific coast of Panama, has been given the ultimate rock and roll name in recognition of the discoverers’ favourite rock band – Pink Floyd. The conspicuously coloured pistol shrimp has been named as Synalpheus pinkfloydi in the scientific description of the species, published as open access in Zootaxa journal today (12 April). Just like all good rock bands, pistol shrimps, or snapping shrimps, have an ability to generate substantial amounts of sonic energy. By closing Synalpheus pinkfloydi. Image: Arthur Anker its enlarged claw at rapid speed the shrimp creates a high-pressure cavitation bubble, the implosion of which results in one of the loudest sounds in the ocean – strong enough to stun or even kill a small fish. Combined with its distinct, almost glowing- pink snapping claw, Synalpheus pinkfloydi is aptly named by the report’s authors, Arthur Anker of the Universidade Federal de Goiás in Brazil, Kristin Hultgren of Seattle University in If Synalpheus pinkfloydi had adorned the cover of Pink the USA, and Sammy De Grave, of Oxford Floyd's 1977 album Animals, rather than the famous dirigible pig. Image: Chris Jarvis University Museum of Natural History. De Grave, Head of Research at the Museum of Natural History in Oxford, has been a life-long Pink Floyd fan and has been waiting for the opportunity to name the right new species after the band.

  • Escher's World of Wonder
    Educators Resource Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder Title: Journey to infinity: Escher’s World of Wonders Educators Resource Target Audience: An information package for educators interested in the exhibition Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World Of Wonder and the various additional programmes developed by ArtScience Museum’s Programmes Department. 1 Educators Resource Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy more than 150 original works from M.C. Escher, one of the world’s greatest graphic artists. Exploring the intersection between art, mathematics, science and poetry, Escher’s works have fascinated and astounded generations of artists, architects, mathematicians, musicians and designers alike. ArtScience Museum is dedicated to the playful exploration of the interconnection between art, science, technology and culture, and we look forward to sharing Escher’s unique and fascinating world with both school groups and educators. We are sure it will be the starting point for many interesting conversations about art, mathematics and history, about how nothing is what it seems. ArtScience Museum believes that some subjects are best understood by active construction and experimentation and by approaching subjects from unexpected perspectives. The exhibition itself is full of wonder, not just in the extraordinary artworks but also in the many playful activities that visitors can explore throughout the exhibition. The poetic symmetry of tessellations is understood on a large scale by physically moving huge puzzle pieces into place; the interconnectedness of baroque music and the notion of infinity are explored through papercraft and music boxes, and even the trained eye is tricked by larger than life optical illusions.

    INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IMPROVISED MUSIC SIXTH FESTIVAL/CONFERENCE Improvisation · Self · Community·World February 16-19, 2012 William Paterson University Wayne, New Jersey, USA Keynote artists and performers: Pyeng Threadgill & trio Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier & Jim Black Mulgrew Miller WyldLyfe Robert Dick & Tom Buckner Karl Berger with the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra And over 50 other artists presenting concerts, panels, talks and workshops! ISIM President’s Welcome ISIM President’s Welcome On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Improvised Music, I extend to all of you a hearty welcome to the sixth ISIM Festival/Conference. Nothing is more gratifying than gatherings of improvising musicians as our common process, regardless of surface differences in our creative expressions, unites us in ways that are truly unique. As the conference theme suggests, by going deep within our reservoir of creativity, we access subtle dimensions of self—or consciousness—that are the source of connections with not only our immediate communities but the world at large. It is dificult to imagine a moment in history when the need for this improvisation-driven, creativity revolution is greater on individual and collective scales than the present. Please join me in thanking the many individuals, far too many to list, who have been instrumental in making this event happen. Headliners Ikue Mori, Pyeng Threadgill, Wyldlife, Karl Berger, the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra, the William Paterson University jazz group, Mulgrew Miller, Robert Dick, and Thomas Buckner—we could not have asked for a more varied and exciting line-up. ISIM Board members Stephen Nachmanovitch and Bill Johnson have provided invaluable assistance, with Steve working his usual heroics with the ISIM website in between, and sometimes during, his performing and speaking tours.

  • “The Dark Side of the Moon”—Pink Floyd (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay By: Daniel Levitin (Guest Post)*
    “The Dark Side of the Moon”—Pink Floyd (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by: Daniel Levitin (guest post)* Dark Side of the Moon Angst. Greed. Alienation. Questioning one's own sanity. Weird time signatures. Experimental sounds. In 1973, Pink Floyd was a somewhat known progressive rock band, but it was this, their ninth album, that catapulted them into world class rock-star status. “The Dark Side of the Moon” spent an astonishing 14 years on the “Billboard” album charts, and sold an estimated 45 million copies. It is a work of outstanding artistry, skill, and craftsmanship that is popular in its reach and experimental in its grasp. An engineering masterpiece, the album received a Grammy nomination for best engineered non-classical recording, based on beautifully captured instrumental tones and a warm, lush soundscape. Engineer Alan Parsons and Mixing Supervisor Chris Thomas, who had worked extensively with The Beatles (the LP was mastered by engineer Wally Traugott), introduced a level of sonic beauty and clarity to the album that propelled the music off of any sound system to become an all- encompassing, immersive experience. In his 1973 review, Lloyd Grossman wrote in “Rolling Stone” magazine that Pink Floyd’s members comprised “preeminent techno-rockers: four musicians with a command of electronic instruments who wield an arsenal of sound effects with authority and finesse.” The used their command to create a work that introduced several generations of listeners to art-rock and to elements of 1950s cool jazz. Some reharmonization of chords (as on “Breathe”) was inspired by Miles Davis, explained keyboardist Rick Wright.

    The Music That Time Forgot Further Perspectives & Distortions (3CD box set, Cherry Red) In an interview I undertook for Punk and Post-Punk journal, Dick Witts of The Passage (a band surprisingly missing from this compilation), stated that 'You might say that post-punk existed before punk. It was submerged during the punk days, and re-emerged touched by punk but not imbricated with it'. Post-punk is notoriously difficult to define, but for me it would include much of the experimental music gathered together in this box set, which has the awkward – if accurate – subtitle 'An Encylopaedia Of British Experimental and Avant-Garde Music 1976-1984'. Here, says the press release, post-punk has been used as a 'paradigm-shifting lens' to bring together 'disparate names from across the experimental spectrum'. I guess that means musicians who carried on doing what they were doing outside post-punk but influenced those within, as well as the more experimental music being produced by post-punk bands themselves. I say 'I guess', but that's basically what we've got here. That includes synthesizer music from the likes of Blancmange, Chris & Cosey and Robert Rental; what became known as industrial music from the likes of Nurse With Wound, Test Department and Throbbing Gristle; improvised jazz or systems music from from David Toop & Paul Burwell, Stinky Winkles, Lindsay Cooper, AMM III, Lol Coxhill & Morgan Fisher, as well as David Cunningham; harsh subverted funk from Hula, 23 Skidoo and The Pop Group; spoken word or sound poetry from George Melly and from Bob Cobbing; and awkward pop and rock music from Eyeless in Gaza, Swell Maps and Robert Wyatt.
