Figura importante de la música popular durante más de cinco décadas, Bowie es considerado un innovador, en particular por sus trabajos de la década de 1970 y por su peculiar voz, además de la profundidad intelectual de su obra.[2][3] A pesar de haber lanzado un álbum (David Bowie) y varios sencillos antes, Bowie consiguió notoriedad en julio de 1969, cuando su sencillo «Space Oddity» llegó al Top 5 de la lista británica de sencillos. Después de tres años correspondientes a una etapa de experimentación, resurgió en 1972, en plena era del glam rock, con su extravagante y andrógino álter ego Ziggy Stardust, gracias a su exitoso sencillo «Starman» y el disco The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. David Buckley, su biógrafo, describe el impacto de Bowie de esa época diciendo que «retó al núcleo de la música rock de la época» y «creó, posiblemente, el personaje más importante de la cultura popular».[]La relativamente corta vida de Ziggy probó ser sólo una faceta de una carrera marcada por David Bowie 2 continuas reinvenciones, innovaciones musicales y presentaciones visuales de todo tipo. Bowie consiguió, en 1975, su primer éxito en Estados Unidos, gracias a su exitoso sencillo «Fame», co-escrito con John Lennon y a su disco Young Americans, del cual dijo él mismo que era el disco definitivo del plastic soul (término acuñado por un músico de raza negra para describir a un artista blanco interpretando música soul). El sonido significó un cambio radical del estilo que le había hecho famoso en el Reino Unido. Después de esto, confundió tanto a su discográfica como a sus seguidores estadounidenses con el disco minimalista Low (1977), la primera de tres colaboraciones con Brian Eno. Todos estos álbumes, conocidos como la «Trilogía de Berlín», entraron en el Top 5 británico, además de que recibieron elogios de la crítica. Después de disparejos éxitos comerciales a finales de la década de 1970, consiguió números uno en el Reino Unido con el sencillo «Ashes to Ashes» y su correspondiente álbum, Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). Colaboró con Queen en el número uno de las listas de venta «Under Pressure» para, poco después, volver a conseguir un éxito comercial con su disco de 1983 Let's Dance, del que se extrajeron los exitosos sencillos «Let's Dance», «China Girl» y «Modern Love». A lo largo de las décadas de 1990 y 2000, Bowie siguió experimentando con distintos estilos musicales, incluyendo blue-eyed soul, industrial, adult contemporary y jungle. No ha salido de gira desde su gira musical entre 2003 y 2004 A Reality Tour y no se ha presentado en vivo desde 2006. Su más reciente disco The Next Day salió al mercado en marzo de 2013. Buckley dice de Bowie: «Su influencia fue única en la cultura popular, ha permeado y cambiado más vidas que ninguna otra figura pública».[] En la encuesta de 2002 de la cadena televisiva BBC de los 100 británicos más importantes, se colocó en el puesto número 29. Ha vendido, aproximadamente, 136 millones de discos a lo largo de su carrera. Ha recibido nueve discos de platino, once de oro y ocho de plata en el Reino Unido y cinco de platino y siete de oro en Estados Unidos. En 2004, la revista Rolling Stone le posicionó en el puesto número 39 de su lista de los cien artistas de rock más importantes de todos los tiempos y en el puesto 23 de su lista de los mejores cantantes de todos los tiempos.[4][5] Biografía 1947–1962: primeros años David Bowie nació como David Robert Jones en Brixton, Londres, el 8 de enero de 1947. Su madre, Margaret Mary «Peggy» (apellido de soltera Burns), de ascendencia irlandesa, trabajaba como acomodadora de cine, mientras que su padre, Haywood Stenton «John» Jones, era un dirigente de publicidad de la ONG Barnardo's. Vivían en el 40 de Stansfield Road, situado cerca de los barrios del sur de Londres de Brixton y Stockwell. Bowie asistió al Stockwell Infants School hasta los seis años de edad, donde se ganó una reputación de niño superdotado y decidido, además de rebelde y peleón.[6][7] En 1953, la familia se mudó a otro barrio cercano, Bromley, donde dos años después Bowie inició clases en el Burnt Ash Junior School. Consideraron su voz «adecuada» para el coro de la escuela y su manera de tocar la flauta se consideró por encima de lo normal en cuanto a habilidades musicales.[] A los nueve años de edad, su forma de bailar resultaba increíblemente imaginativa: los profesores dijeron de sus interpretaciones que eran «vistosamente artísticas» y que su porte era «sorprendente» para un niño de su edad.[] Ese mismo año, su interés en la música se vio reforzado cuando su padre trajo a casa una colección de discos de vinilo de 45 RPM de artistas como Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, The Platters, Fats Domino, Elvis Presley y Little Richard.[8][] Sobre el momento en que escuchó la canción «Tutti Frutti», Bowie dijo después que «había escuchado a Dios».[9] El impacto que Presley produjo en el niño fue grande: «Vi a una de mis primas bailar al ritmo de [...] "Hound Dog" y nunca la había visto levantarse y moverse tanto por nada. Realmente me impresionó el poder de la música. Justo después de eso comencé a adquirir discos».[] Para finales del siguiente año había comenzado a tocar el ukelele y el bajo tea-chest (fabricado con una sola cuerda y una de las cajas utilizadas para transportar té) y comenzó a participar en sesiones de skiffle con algunos amigos y, además, a tocar el piano; mientras tanto, sus actuaciones imitando a Presley y Chuck Berry, que hacía David Bowie 3 como tributo a los artistas, para su grupo de boy scouts fueron descritas como «fascinantes [...] como de otro planeta».[] Al suspender el examen final de primaria en el colegio Burnt Ash Junior, Bowie se cambió al Ravens Wood School.[] Según el biógrafo Christopher Sandford, esta era una escuela un tanto inusual: «A pesar de su prestigio era, en la época en que llegó David en 1958, tan rica en rituales arcanos como cualquier otra escuela pública británica. Tenía casas con nombres de hombres de estado del S. XVIII como Pitt y Wilberforce. Usaban uniforme y poseían un elaborado sistema de premios y castigos. Ponían gran énfasis en los idiomas, la ciencia y el diseño, por lo que florecía una atmósfera universitaria bajo la tutoría de Owen Frampton. Según David, Frampton priorizaba la personalidad por encima del intelecto; sus compañeros de Bromley Tech no eran famosos por ninguna de las dos e incitaban a los alumnos más talentosos a encaminarse a las artes. Era un sistema tan liberal que Frampton animó a su propio hijo, Peter, que buscase iniciar una carrera musical con David, una asociación intacta treinta años después».[] Bowie estudió arte, música y diseño, como así también trazado y composición tipográfica. Después de que Terry Burns, su hermanastro, le introdujese en el mundo del jazz moderno, su entusiasmo por artistas como Charles Mingus y John Coltrane llevaron a su madre a regalarle un saxofón alto de plástico en 1961; poco después comenzó a recibir clases de un músico local.[10] En 1962 tuvo un incidente en el colegio cuando su amigo George Underwood, que tenía puesto un anillo en el dedo, le propinó un puñetazo en el ojo izquierdo durante una pelea por una chica. Los médicos temieron que fuese a perder la vista en ese ojo, por lo que tuvo que ausentarse del colegio mientras le hacían una serie de operaciones durante una hospitalización de cuatro meses.[11] El daño no se pudo enmendar del todo, dejándole con una percepción de la profundidad defectuosa y una pupila dilatada permanente (por lo que parece que tiene ojos de distinto color, aunque los dos iris tienen el mismo tono). A pesar de sus rencillas, Underwood y Bowie siguieron siendo buenos amigos, e incluso Underwood llegó a diseñar las portadas de los primeros discos de Bowie.[12] 1962–1968: de The Kon-rads a The Riot Squad Cuando pasó de su saxo de plástico a un instrumento real en 1962, Bowie formó su primera banda a los quince años. Kon-rads, con una formación que variaba desde cuatro hasta ocho miembros, entre ellos Underwood, tocaba rock and roll basado en la guitarra, en reuniones de jóvenes y bodas.[13] Cuando Bowie abandonó la escuela al año siguiente, le comentó a sus padres su intención de convertirse en una estrella del pop. Sin embargo, su madre le consiguió rápidamente un empleo como ayudante de electricista. Frustrado por las pocas aspiraciones de sus colegas de la banda, Bowie dejó Kon-rads para formar una nueva banda: King Bees. Escribió una carta al nuevo empresario de éxito John Bloom para pedirle: «Haz por nosotros lo mismo que ha hecho Brian Epstein para The Beatles, y de paso haz un millón más».

Yes, I think that it probably was, although the 2002 album Heathen gives it a run for its money, but with the benefit of hindsight, it still lacked the hallmarks of a classic David Bowie album, mainly because it didn't break new ground. Between 1969 and 1980 Bowie released thirteen studio albums which basically defined the decade. With the possible exception of Lodger which was basically bollocks, IMHO, each of these albums not only broke new ground, but was a significant advance upon the one that came before it. Bowie defined the concept of the rock star as artist, and where he led many others followed. Each of his stylistic changes spawned a hundred imitators. In the wake of Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane came dozens of glam bands, most of them totally missing the point, and schoolboys across the United My dear friends, Kingdom sported Ziggy haircuts. His plastic soul period not only persuaded his loyal legions that Luther Vandross was where it was at, but also meant that the 2016 is only a couple of weeks old, but we already high street outfitters were full of Oxford Bags and have the first major cultural event of the year.

  • The Commutation Test and Chris Bacon's Score for Source Code As
    The Commutation Test and Chris Bacon’s Score for Source Code as a Framework for Film Music Pedagogy Aaron Ziegel, Towson University he cinema, whether experienced at the neighborhood multiplex or streamed at home, is arguably the medium through which today’s col- lege-age Americans are most likely to encounter newly composed sym- Tphonic music. Given the ubiquity of the film-viewing experience, students are often eager to learn the tools and methodologies that can equip them to criti- cally assess and more fully comprehend the function of music in movies. The filmSource Code (2011), directed by Duncan Jones and scored by Chris Bacon, provides a particularly effective starting point through which this process can begin.1 This article will discuss the pedagogical potential found in the film’s main titles and the impact of applying a commutation test to this sequence. Although here I address one specific example, the methodology of the commu- tation test is easily adaptable to other circumstances, as the theoretical foun- dation will make clear. While variations on the commutation test are a regular occurrence in many film music classrooms, this essay aims to present an intro- ductory primer that may be of use to instructors interested in an entry point for incorporating film music studies into their teaching. With that in mind, the appendix presents one suggestion for how to create film clips for classroom use. The value of this classroom activity extends beyond providing students with an engaging and memorable learning experience. By situating this analysis I wish to express my gratitude to the many students at Towson University whose feedback and enthusiastic classroom participation, along with suggestions from the anonymous reviewers, helped me to refine the pedagogical approach described in this essay.
