Música Intrusa Música intrusa Gerard Casau Vaz Tutor: Ivan Pintor Iranzo Curs: 2012/13 Treballs de recerca dels programes de postgrau del Departament de Comunicació Departament de Comunicació Universitat Pompeu Fabra Resumen Esta tesina se inscribe en un marco hermenéutico, con el propósito de interpretar una serie de textos fílmicos a partir de su banda sonora. Para ello, acotaremos el ámbito de estudio a la música para cine que proviene del ámbito del rock y de la música popular. Así, se distinguirá una tipología de banda sonora que no presenta dificultades para enmarcarse en las mismas coordenadas que la música de cine proveniente de una tradición sinfónica. Esto nos permitirá introducir un término (“música intrusa”) apto para referirse a las especificidades de tales bandas sonoras, y su incidencia en el cine de finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI.

Escollo que difícilmente hubiera podido sortear sin la ayuda de Ivan Pintor, tutor y compañero de viaje, que ha mantenido mis pies en suelo académico a la vez que me animaba a explorar las rutas más enloquecidas a las que me llevaba el proceso de investigación. También querría dedicar un agradecimiento muy especial a Manuel Garin, a quien le he robado mucho y valioso tiempo en estos últimos meses. Sus consejos han sido tan enriquecedores como los gruesos libros que me prestó, y que me deslomaron la espalda en el trayecto entre su despacho y mi casa. Manu Yáñez, Joan Pons y Juan Cervera me facilitaron el acceso a documentos que difícilmente habría podido localizar de otro modo, por lo que una parte de esta tesina también les pertenece. Agradezco también el apoyo que me han dado mi familia y amigos, que tuvieron la gentileza de simular que el galimatías en que se iba convirtiendo este texto tenía algún sentido. Y, por supuesto, Pat, que ha estado allí siempre, comprensiva incluso en los momentos en que yo he corrido el riesgo de desaparecer en el interior de la escritura.

Al formular esta comparación, Ayala está poniendo las formas del cine de Lisandro Alonso no al lado de otros cineastas que le hayan podido servir como referentes, ni siquiera junto a compañeros generacionales con los que pueda compartir ciertas filiaciones. No: El crítico alinea a Alonso en las filas de una nomenclatura musical de bordes algo difusos como es la de “rock explorativo”. Con ello, sugiere que quizás sus películas hallen un diálogo estético más fructífero con ciertos discos (de artistas como, por ejemplo, Shellac, Bill Callahan o Tortoise) que con otros filmes. Los escritos periodísticos suelen dar por buena la conexión entre rock y cine como un mero dato, mientras que los trabajos académicos que han establecido el canon de las relaciones entre música y cine suelen reservarle un espacio poco menos que marginal: Véase, por ejemplo, La música en el cine, de Michel Chion (algo que, por otro lado, puede entenderse debido al carácter panorámico de la obra). En El cine y la música, de Theodor W. Adorno y Hans Eisler, el caso es ligeramente distinto: Publicado originalmente en 1944, en él el rock no aparece por el simple hecho de que por aquel entonces ni siquiera existía como género. Por otro lado, los estudios que sí presentan una voluntad manifiesta de acercarse a la dicotomía entre cine y música popular con frecuencia derivan el tema a cuestiones sociales y políticas. Dos ejemplos: En Off Key, Kay Dickinson analiza aquellos casos en 1 AYALA, RAMÓN. “Festival de Gijón. Lo viejo y lo nuevo”, en Rockdelux 247, enero 2007. P. 18 3 Introducción que cine y música establecen un diálogo conflictivo, por no decir fracasado, extrapolándolos a distintos tipos de conflicto laboral. Así, en el capitulo consagrado a los bizarros intentos de algunas estrellas de la música popular por triunfar en la gran pantalla (como los de Madonna o Mick Jagger), lo que se hace es trazar una línea acerca de la inestabilidad del mercado laboral y el pluriempleo. Por su parte, la revista L'Atalante, editada por la Universitat de València, publicó en 2012 un numero especial dedicado al rock y al cine. Los títulos de algunos de sus ensayos son suficientemente elocuentes: “Ciudadano Bob Roberts: populismo político, derecha cristiana y música folk”; “Do the Right Thing: música, gueto y rebelión en el cine de Spike Lee”... La intención de este trabajo no es, ni mucho menos, menoscabar tal enfoque, perfectamente válido. Sí operaremos desde el convencimiento de que la música puede ser un elemento tan decisivo como cualquier otro para centrar un estudio sobre estética cinematográfica, marcándonos dos propósitos fundamentales: Por un lado, aportar una contribución

  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

Si vous étiez les contestataires les plus visibles, nous savons que beaucoup d’autres jeunes ont souffert durant les manifestations, et nous restons très préoccupés à leur sujet. Toutefois, à bien des égards, à travers votre incarcération, vous incarnez désormais cette jeunesse. De nombreux artistes ont exprimé leur inquiétude lorsque ces accusations ont été portées contre vous ; nous espérions vraiment que les autorités, dans cette affaire, feraient preuve d’un certain degré de compréhension, du sens des proportions, et même du sens de l’humour russe si caractéristique, mais force est de constater qu’il n’en fut rien. Votre procès terriblement inique et votre incarcération ont eu un très grand retentissement, particulièrement au sein de la communauté des artistes, des musiciens et des citoyens dans le monde entier, et notamment auprès des parents qui ressentent votre angoisse d’être séparées de vos enfants. Tout en comprenant qu’une action de contestation menée dans un lieu de culte puisse choquer, nous demandons aux autorités russes de revoir les sentences très lourdes prononcées, afin que vous puissiez retrouver vos enfants, vos familles et vos vies.

The idea is to present “musicians in their own words”. Thurston Moore American guitarist and vocalist (July 25, 1958—) Background on Sonic Youth Thurston Moore was a guitarist and vocalist for Sonic Youth. Sonic Youth was an American alternative rock band from New York City, formed in 1981. Their lineup largely consisted of Thurston Moore (guitar and vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, and guitar), Lee Ranaldo (guitar and vocals), Steve Shelley (drums). In their early career, Sonic Youth was associated with the no wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound. As a result, some consider Sonic Youth as pivotal in the rise of the alternative rock and indie rock movementThbdts. The band exper ience d success an ditild critical acc lithhtlaim throughout their existence, continuing into the new millennium, including signing to major label DGC in 1990, and headlining the 1995 Lollapalooza festival. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_youth Moore Quotes Q: What led Sonic Youth to do a project like Goodbye 20th Century?

  • Post-Cinematic Affect: on Grace Jones, Boarding Gate and Southland Tales
    Film-Philosophy 14.1 2010 Post-Cinematic Affect: On Grace Jones, Boarding Gate and Southland Tales Steven Shaviro Wayne State University Introduction In this text, I look at three recent media productions – two films and a music video – that reflect, in particularly radical and cogent ways, upon the world we live in today. Olivier Assayas’ Boarding Gate (starring Asia Argento) and Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales (with Justin Timberlake, Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott, and Sarah Michelle Gellar) were both released in 2007. Nick Hooker’s music video for Grace Jones’s song ‘Corporate Cannibal’ was released (as was the song itself) in 2008. These works are quite different from one another, in form as well as content. ‘Corporate Cannibal’ is a digital production that has little in common with traditional film. Boarding Gate, on the other hand, is not a digital work; it is thoroughly cinematic, in terms both of technology, and of narrative development and character presentation. Southland Tales lies somewhat in between the other two. It is grounded in the formal techniques of television, video, and digital media, rather than those of film; but its grand ambitions are very much those of a big-screen movie. Nonetheless, despite their evident differences, all three of these works express, and exemplify, the ‘structure of feeling’ that I would like to call (for want of a better phrase) post-cinematic affect. Film-Philosophy | ISSN: 1466-4615 1 Film-Philosophy 14.1 2010 Why ‘post-cinematic’? Film gave way to television as a ‘cultural dominant’ a long time ago, in the mid-twentieth century; and television in turn has given way in recent years to computer- and network-based, and digitally generated, ‘new media.’ Film itself has not disappeared, of course; but filmmaking has been transformed, over the past two decades, from an analogue process to a heavily digitised one.
