SAE Institute in Association with University of Middlesex SAE Institute in association with University of Middlesex Technische Ausstattungen des Disc Jockeys im Wandel des digitalen Zeitalters Block Name: Research Project Module Number: 303 Date Submitted: 18.12.06 Award Name: Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) Rec. Arts Course : BRA106 Name: Lars Langholz Phone: +49 170 58 74 989 Mail: [email protected] City: Munich Country: Germany Vorwort Vorwort Im Jahre 1877 erfindet Thomas Edison den Phonographen, jenes Gerät, das von Beginn an bis heute, in nur leicht abgewandelter Form, zu den wichtigsten Arbeitsgeräten eines Disc Jockeys (DJs) zählt. Diese Arbeit mit dem Titel „Technische Ausstattungen des Disc Jockeys im Wandel des digitalen Zeitalters“ untersucht, ob digitale Lösungen für DJs den analogen Schallplattenspieler, im Fachjargon auch „Turntable“ genannt, ablösen. Ich stelle die These auf, dass sich die technischen Ausstattungen des Disc Jockeys mit einer Tendenz zu digitalen DJ-Systemen, besonders seit den letzten drei Jahren, gravierend verändern. Dieses Thema ist für mich von besonderem Interesse, da ich seit 1996 selbst als DJ aktiv bin und mein herkömmliches DJ-Setup seit kurzem um neue digitale Möglichkeiten erweitere. Zudem treffe ich, in meiner Tätigkeit als Audio Engineer und Veranstalter, regelmäßig auf Missverständnissen und Vorurteilen zu diesem Thema, die ich in dieser Arbeit klären möchte. Hierzu wird im Rahmen einer repräsentativen wissenschaftlichen Studie dokumentiert, ob und wenn ja seit wann ein technischer Wandel stattfindet, welche Entwicklungen dabei zu erkennen sind und in welcher Weise Konsequenzen für Techniker und DJs zu erwarten sind. Gleich zu Beginn möchte ich den zahlreichen Interviewpartnern, den 212 Umfrageteilnehmern sowie den Firmen und Organisationen danken, durch die die Umsetzung dieser Arbeit erst möglich geworden ist. Zudem danke ich meinen Fach- und Formsupervisoren Katja Langholz, Marcel Remmy und Eric Dessloch und nicht zuletzt meiner Familie, die mich bei jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit im Rahmen dieses Projektes unterstützt hat.

  • The Acoustics and Performance of DJ Scratching. Analysis and Modelling
    The acoustics and performance of DJ scratching Analysis and modeling KJETIL FALKENBERG HANSEN Doctoral Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2010 TRITA-CSC-A 2010:01 ISSN 1653-5723 KTH School of Computer Science and Communication ISRN KTH/CSC/A–10/01-SE SE-100 44 Stockholm ISBN 978-91-7415-541-9 SWEDEN Akademisk avhandling som med tillst˚andav Kungl Tekniska h¨ogskolan framl¨agges till offentlig granskning f¨or avl¨aggande av teknologie doktorsexamen i datalogi Fredagen den 12 februari 2010 klockan 10:00 i F2, Kungl Tekniska H¨ogskolan, Lindstedtsv¨agen 26, Stockholm. © Kjetil Falkenberg Hansen, February 2010 Tryck: Universitetsservice US AB iii Abstract This thesis focuses on the analysis and modeling of scratching, in other words, the DJ (disk jockey) practice of using the turntable as a musical instru- ment. There has been experimental use of turntables as musical instruments since their invention, but the use is now mainly ascribed to the musical genre hip-hop and the playing style known as scratching. Scratching has developed to become a skillful instrument-playing practice with complex musical output performed by DJs. The impact on popular music culture has been significant, and for many, the DJ set-up of turntables and a mixer is now a natural instru- ment choice for undertaking a creative music activity. Six papers are included in this thesis, where the first three approach the acoustics and performance of scratching, and the second three approach scratch modeling and the DJ interface. Additional studies included here expand on the scope of the papers. For the acoustics and performance studies, DJs were recorded playing both demonstrations of standard performance techniques, and expressive perfor- mances on sensor-equipped instruments.

  • Mt-Djing: Multitouch Djing Table
    Mt-Djing: Multitouch DJing Table Pedro Lopes Dissertation for the degree of Master in Information Systems and Computer Engineering J´uri Chairman: Professor Doutor Jos´eManuel Nunes Salvador Tribolet Adviser: Professor Doutor Jo~aoAnt´onioMadeiras Pereira Co-adviser: Professor Doutor Alfredo Manuel dos Santos Ferreira Junior Jury Member: Professor Doutor Nuno Manuel Robalo Correia October 2010 Acknowledgements As DJ history itself, this thesis has been a long journey, full of turning points and milestones. The astonishing number of people I would like to acknowledge shows how numerous were the dark alleys and obstacles I had to transpose during this last year. Firstly, to my father and mother for outstanding support, not only through this work but for the two decades before. To my advisor and co-advisor, Prof. Jo~aoMadeiras Pereira and Prof. Alfredo Ferreira Jr., for strong belief on Mt-Djing from square one. Moreover I kindly acknowledge the contribution of my colleague Diogo Mariano, whom I thank for all the support given, endless brainstorming sessions and late work nights. A word of appreciation to Ricardo Jota and Bruno de Ara´ujo,for the interest and support to this work, shown in the form of the many conversations exchanged upon this subject. Other colleagues have their place within this thank-you note, namely Tiago Ribeiro and Guilherme Fernandes, for their help in reviewing and discussing the contents. And at last, but (definitely) not least, to all DJs and accompanying group, that took the time and effort to contribute so much to this work - that ultimately is theirs more than it is mine - specially: Pedro Farinha, Pedro Sousa (aka Alfredo Carajillo), Jo~aoGomes (aka Mush Von Namek), Igor Sousa and Nuno Moita.

  • Authenticity and Liveness in Digital DJ Performance
    Authenticity and Liveness in Digital DJ Performance Hillegonda C. Rietveld, 2015 London South Bank University Introduction Within the context of electronic dance music events, the DJ (Disc Jockey) can be understood as a musician who manipulates music recordings, synchronizing and blending these into a soundtrack, a musical journey for an audience of dancers, participants, listeners, bystanders (Brewster and Broughton, 2012; Fikentscher, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2013; Lawrence, 2003). Fikentscher defines “the club deejay (as) a pioneering force transforming the relationship between music as defined by performance and music conceptualized as authoritative text” (2003: 290). And Katz (describes performative hip-hop DJs as turntablists, “who treat their turntables more like musical instruments than playback devices” (2012: 33). In this way, the DJ operates as a type of curator as well as performing producer (Fikentscher, 2001; Rietveld, 2011, 2013a). Butler (2014) differentiates between traditional DJs, who assemble a soundtrack from distinct vinyl-based (analogue), and the laptop performer, who in effect brings a miniaturized version of the digital studio to the stage. However, as DJ practices have turned digital, not only in terms of CDs and digital mixers but, more radically, by engaging with the fluid affordance of production software, the distinctions between music production, remixing, DJ-ing and music performance are more difficult to maintain. Within the practices of the digital DJ, a musicianship is emerging that Authenticity and Liveness in Digital DJ Performance invites a reassessment of the relationship between audience and performer. It will thereby be argued that an authentic sense of live performance can be generated not only through the spectacle of performance but through the embodied engagement by and between all participants of an electronic dance music event.
