  • Kid Koala Featuring Emilíana Torrini Music to Draw To: Satellite Album Biography
    Kid Koala featuring Emilíana Torrini Music To Draw To: Satellite Album Biography Kid Koala’s Music To Draw To: Satellite is an uncharted musical journey for the legendary scratch DJ, producer, and composer. Eric San ’s fifth studio album is an expansive work of ambient electronic soundscapes and chilling dream-pop ballads sung by Icelandic artist Emilíana Torrini. Satellite is the renowned audio-collagist’s first non-sample-based record, with Kid Koala composing, performing, and producing with an array of synthesizers, keys, guitars, strings, turntables, noisemakers, and inventive recording techniques. This inaugural volume in the Music To Draw To collaboration series also finds Kid Koala contributing poetic lyrics to five of Emilíana Torrini’s seven vocal contributions. Created during the gelid Montreal winter, the eighteen movements of Music To Draw To: Satellite tell a tale of discovery and loss through the lens of lovers separated by an early Mars mission. Album opener “The Observable Universe” swells in a cycle of orchestral electronic ambience, a glacial and patient overture to Satellite’s 72-minute sonic expedition. On “Collapser,” San’s heartrending poetry is sung in Torrini’s spectral, icy style, repeating the song’s sombre mantra over a pulsating sequence of keyboards, analog synthesizers, samplers, and controllers: No plan, no map, at this rate, we’ll all collapse. About working with the vocalist, San says: “Emilíana is one of my favourite singers in the world. I’ve been following her work since her first album. She’s just got one of those singular voices that captivated me years ago. Even when she is singing at whisper quiet levels, it’s enough to crack your heart open.“ Following their meeting at one of Emilíana’s shows at Joe’s Pub in New York, the pair bonded over a mutual appreciation of one another’s work.

  • The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 122–135 Research Article Adam de Paor-Evans* The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0012 Received January 27, 2018; accepted June 2, 2018 Abstract: In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and socio- political presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society. Keywords: dromosphere, dromology, Afrofuturism, electro-rap, thirdspace, fantasy, Newcleus, Strange U Introduction During the mid-1970s, the language of New York City’s pioneering hip hop practitioners brought them fame amongst their peers, yet the methods of its musical production brought heavy criticism from established musicians.

From from the Legendary Oakland Crew, The Hieroglyphics. One of the most renowned West Coast MC's, Del makes his long awaited return to Victoria. Cousin of renowned West Coast Pioneering Rapper Ice Cube, Del tha Funky Homosapien was born in Oakland, CA. and got his start writing songs for Ice Cube’s group, Da Lench Mob. But Del's rap isn't as grim or violent as Ice Cube's is, in fact, he's been known to include something in his music that's far too uncommon in most rap: humor!! Signed to Elektra/Asylum, Del's debut release, 'I Wish My Brother George Was Here', was issued in 1991 and produced by Cube and like most rap at the time, featured numerous samples of Parliament Funkadelic classics from the '70s. Del's follow-up, 1994's 'No Need for Alarm', was a departure musically, as Ice Cube was no longer in the production seat and the P-Funk sounds were dropped in favor of a more sophisticated, almost jazzy sound.

Graham survives, but is so traumatized by the incident that he takes early retirement from the FBI. The website's critical consensus reads: "Director Jonathan Demme's smart, taut thriller teeters on the edge between psychological study and all-out horror, and benefits greatly from stellar performances by Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. Lecter then stabs Graham and cuts Abigail's throat in front of him, and flees before the police arrive.

  • King of Killers: the Criminological Theories of Hannibal Lector, Part
    King of Killers: The Criminological Theories of Hannibal Lecter, Part One By J.C. Oleson Old Dominion University The public exhibits an insatiable appetite for crime, especially for serial murder. Serial killers are prominently featured in television programs, feature films, novels, and true crime books. But one serial killer remains our favorite: Dr. Hannibal “the Cannibal” Lecter. Thomas Harris’ enigmatic literary character – the American Film Institute’s number one villain of all time – has become a wildly successful franchise. The trilogy of Lecter novels has sold tens of millions of copies, and the four Lecter films have earned more than $838 million. Perhaps the character of Hannibal Lecter is so popular because, drawn from real-life serial killers, he fits several criminological models. Or perhaps Lecter is popular because he presents readers with a puzzle, encompassing contradictions, defying convenient categorization. Keywords: Hannibal Lecter; serial killer; cannibal CRIME AND POPULAR CULTURE: FIXATED BY VIOLENCE, FASCINATED BY MURDER “[T]hey love crime, every one loves crime, they love it always, not at some ‘moments.’” Dostoevsky, 1881/1949, p. 451 The public exhibits a seemingly insatiable appetite for crime (Hyatt, 1995). At any given moment, there is usually a movie about cops and killers playing at the local metroplex theater. Our airwaves are congested with primetime television programs about homicide detectives, sex offender units, and crime scene investigators. We clamor for taut psychological thrillers and we watch gory slasher films “through a pinkish shield of splayed fingers, … [allowing these thrillers to fill us] with mixed feelings of amazement and terror” (Hinson, 1993, p.

  • The Image of Profiling Media Treatment and General Impressions James S
    Chapter 15 The Image of Profiling Media Treatment and General Impressions James S. Herndon Summary Criminal profiling, or simply profiling, is considered in terms of the manner in which it has been presented in the various public media outlets. Comments are offered about the messages being conveyed to the consumer of media material. The conclusion posited is that the perception one would derive of the nature and value of profiling seems to be dependent on the source of their impressions. INTRODUCTION Criminal profiling probably would not be receiving the attention it is today by the scientific community were it not for the attention it has been given by the media, in its various forms (movies, TV, novels, press, etc.). Public impressions are greatly influenced by the media, not always in positive ways. The hype and spin associated with criminal profiling is such that an informal survey of college students (criminal justice and psychology majors, in particular) would reveal a large percent stating that they intend to become profilers. The reality of profiling has been lost in the continual sensationalization of the practice by those who like to titillate others. This chapter will consider the various ways that profiling has been presented by the media. What is not covered are the scholarly journal articles and textbooks published in scientific venues. From: Criminal Profiling: International Theory, Research, and Practice Edited by: R. N. Kocsis © Humana Press Inc., Totowa, NJ 303 304 J.S.Herndon PROFILING IN MOVIES People love going to the movies. Films heavy in crime and violence top the list of moneymakers.
