Address: Oslo Konserthus Munkedamsveien 14 Photo: Oslo Konserthus EXHIBITIONS Under the Microscope. Gustave Courbet The work Pêcheur à la ligne ('The Fisherman') was donated to the National Museum as a supposedly genuine Courbet in 1947. But French experts cast doubt on the authenticity of the picture. Recent research on the provenance of the picture seems, however, to point in the opposite direction: in all probability Pêcheur à la ligne was indeed painted by the master himself. The exhibition Under the microscope. Gustave Courbet shows you how the museum reached this conclusion. For more info please click here.

    WATCHMOJO – The life and career of David Bowie (1947-2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lan_wotkon0 [Fashion] Welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're taking a look at the life and career of David Bowie. [Queen Bitch] David Robert Jones was born on January 8 1947 in Brixton London England. Though he showed musical interest at a young age it was only in the early 60s that he really pursued the art. He started by joining several blues bands but branched off on his own when they had little success. Renaming himself David Bowie he released his self-titled debut in 1967. [Who's that hiding in the apple tree clinging to a branch] Its lack of success led Bowie to participate in a promotional film called Love you till Tuesday which showcased several of his songs. A particular interest was Space Oddity : that track became a hit after it was released at the same time as the first moon landing. [Ground control to Major Tom] His sophomore effort of the same name however was another commercial disappointment. [The man who sold the world] To promote his third album The man who sold the world, Bowie was put in a dress to capitalize on his androgynous look. [Life on mars] [Ziggy Stardust] In 1971 a pop influenced record called Hunky-Dory came out and was followed by the creation of his flamboyant Ziggy Stardust persona and stage show with backing band The Spiders from Mars. Then came his breakthrough record The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars which climbed the charts thanks to his performance of the single Star Man on Top of the Pops.

  • Legenden David Bowie Släpper Ny Singel Och Samling
    2014-09-09 15:49 CEST LEGENDEN DAVID BOWIE SLÄPPER NY SINGEL OCH SAMLING Nya Deluxe samlingen ”Nothing Has Changed” som släpps den 17 november via Parlophone innehåller den nya singeln ”Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)”. ALBUM: 3CD, 2CD, DUBBEL VINYL OCH DIGITAL DOWNLOAD SINGEL: LIMITERAD UPPLAGA OM 10" vinyl och digital download Femtio år efter sin första inspelning fortsätter David Bowie att vara i spetsen för samtida kultur som musiker, konstnär och ikon. ”Nothing Has Changed” samlar för första gången all Bowie’s musik från åren 1964-2014. Albumet (uppkallat efter en text från öppningsspåret "Sunday" från albumet "Heathen”) samlar låtarna från varje period av Bowies karriär – allt från hans tidigaste inkarnationer som "Liza Jane" och "Can’t Help Thinking About Me” enda fram till James Murphys "Hello Steve Reich Mix" av "Love Is Lost" från förra året. Albumet innehåller Bowies första nya musik sedan han släppte det kritikerrosade albumet ”The Next Day" förra året. Den nya singeln "SUE (Or In A Season Of Crime) spelades in särskilt för ”Nothing Has Changed” tillsammans med långtida samarbetspartnern Tony Visconti och kommer att släppas i en begränsad upplaga (10" singel och digital nedladdning) samma dag som albumet. Vid sidan av det helt nya spåret innehåller albumet den tidigare outgivna låten "Let Me Sleep Beside You" som togs fram från inspelningarna till mytomspunna albumet "TOY" som aldrig släpptes, låten "Your Turn To Drive" som gör debut på CD samt den fantastiska 2001 nyinspelningen av låten "Shadow Man" från år 1971.

  • Cognition of Musical and Visual Accent Structure Alignment in Film and Animation
    PRE-PUBLICATION DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT PHOTOCOPY THE PERCEPTION OF AUDIO-VISUAL COMPOSITES: ACCENT STRUCTURE ALIGNMENT OF SIMPLE STIMULI Scott D. Lipscomb Northwestern University In contemporary society, the human sensory system is bombarded by sounds and images intended to attract attention, manipulate state of mind, or affect behavior.1 Patients awaiting a medical or dental appointment are often subjected to the "soothing" sounds of Muzak as they sit in the waiting area. Trend-setting fashions are displayed in mall shops blaring the latest Top 40 selec- tions to attract their specific clientele. Corporate training sessions and manage- ment presentations frequently employ not only communication through text and speech, but a variety of multimedia types for the purpose of attracting and main- taining attention, e.g. music, graphs, and animation. Recent versions of word processors allow the embedding of sound files, animations, charts, equations, pictures, and information from multiple applications within a single document. Even while standing in line at an amusement park or ordering a drink at the local pub, the presence of television screens providing aural and visual "companion- ship" is now ubiquitous. In each of these instances mentioned, music is assumed to be a catalyst for establishing the mood deemed appropriate, generating desired actions, or simply maintaining a high level of interest among participants within a given context. Musical affect has also been claimed to result in increased labor produc- tivity and reductions in on-the-job accidents when music is piped into the work- place (Hough, 1943; Halpin, 1943-4; Kerr, 1945), though these studies are often far from rigorous in their method and analysis (McGehee & Gardner, 1949; Car- dinell & Burris-Meyer, 1949; Uhrbock, 1961).

  • April 15, 2021 Listen to the Hics Cover David Bowie's “The Man Who Sold the World
    April 15, 2021 For Immediate Release Listen to The Hics Cover David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” From BBE Music’s Bowie Tribute Album, Modern Love, Out May 28th Featuring Jeff Parker, We Are KING, Meshell Ndegeocello, Khruangbin, Matthew Tavares, L’Rain, Jonah Mutono, and more (Photo by J. Notley) Next month, BBE Music will release their forthcoming David Bowie tribute album, Modern Love, out May 28th. Following Helado Negro’s lush cover of “Sound and Vision” and We Are KING’s cosmic and airy cover of “Space Oddity,” they are thrilled to present the album’s newest single, a dream-like interpretation of Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” by The Hics. Comprising Sam Paul Evans and Rox Barker, The Hics combine elements of melodic jazz, soul and folk styles into their distinctive, ever evolving electronic fusion sound. Their cover of “The Man Who Sold The World” beautifully reflects the ethereal, haunted nature of the song’s lyrics, written at a time when Bowie was struggling to reconcile Ziggy and David, wrestling with public and private personas. “We both love Bowie so being asked to reimagine a song of our choice was a no brainer. David Bowie is a national treasure so it's a true honour to pay homage to the man. The choice to cover 'The Man Who Sold The World’ came very quickly, being a personal favourite.” Listen to The Hics’ Cover of “The Man Who Sold The World” Featuring an array of artists such as Jeff Parker, We Are KING, Meshell Ndegeocello, Khruangbin, Matthew Tavares, L’Rain, Nia Andrews and more, Modern Love seeks to champion Bowie’s lesser known connection to soul, R&B, jazz, funk, and gospel, musical genres traditionally pioneered by artists of color.

    Sound and Vision by Steve McMahon ONE Brendan, 17, a scar on his face, alone, in a space empty save for a few pieces of car wreckage. Two car seats set up as a sofa and a table made out of a bonnet maybe. He takes off his headphones, puts them around his neck. BRENDAN Ok so we open on him on his face eyes closed and we hear the first note of the piano at the exact moment his eyes open and he begins to sing he’s looking at us through the camera he’s looking at me with his piercing blue eyes and a little gap between his teeth and it looks like he’s lying down the camera pulls away from him and we can see he’s lying on a mattress but it’s outside he’s not in a bedroom he’s outside on a mattress on the ground and he doesn’t look comfortable his arms look weird and his body starts to jerk kind of strangely and then he gets up and it’s like the opposite of falling and a boy on a bike rides past him but backwards 2. and you realize it’s all backwards it’s reversed it’s all in rewind and now he’s standing and he’s holding his left arm with his right arm like this and the camera spins around him and you can see some sunshine and some clouds and some blue sky so you know it’s the daytime outside and the kid, the boy on the bike, does a spinny trick thing and then it cuts the camera cuts and now we’re at the chorus for the first time but it’s still just piano we hear and him singing and he’s walking backwards because it’s in rewind and he’s on a street just a normal street then we see a wall and he jumps backwards over it, resting his hand on the bricks as his legs fly over the top and we’re back on a street as the chorus continues and a string arrangement starts to gently swell in the background and in the background we see traffic lights and shops and cars and a black cab and he leans up against closed metal shutters next to a place filled with washing machines like the places people used to wash their clothes before everyone had a washing machine in their kitchen 3.
