Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany Pdf, Epub, Ebook FUTURE DAYS: KRAUTROCK AND THE BUILDING OF MODERN GERMANY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK David Stubbs | 512 pages | 07 Aug 2014 | FABER & FABER | 9780571283323 | English | London, United Kingdom Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany PDF Book I've been listening to this music since the late '70's and so I guess I'm not the primary audience, Your Mileage May Vary as they say. Please be respectful when making a comment and adhere to our Community Guidelines. It was the first thing I had to address in the book was this question. The prologue, while of vital importance for creating context, goes on for Fantastic and thorough examination of how German musicians rejected entrenched US pop music tropes in the late '60s and early '70s to revitalize their nation's music. A massive answered prayer for fans of Krautrock, without which "hip hop, techno, electropop, ambient and post-rock might never have evolved. Fricke's I liked a lot about this book and wish I had finished it sooner, within a reasonable time for review, but I will say 2 things, 1 good 1 bad 'bout this book: 1 The Popol Vuh chapter is one of the most willfully ignorant explorations of any music journalism I've read. Part of that means no choruses, rather a more spatially linear approach and with less of a stress on vocals and the idea of a front and centre vocalist. A sense of this not being our music and so it was important therefore that innovation just became an imperative. View offers. But post-Bowie and coinciding with those post-punk years, suddenly Germanic became the new cool, and there was an aura of cool emanating from anything from Europe but Germany in particular. But in between, and especially in the early chapter of historical contextualizing and ending chapter of this genre's presentfuture trajectory, there is some great thought and information.

For example Conny Plank really felt that, which is why he was constantly willing to offer his services to a whole range of musicians and give them studio time to enable them to really make the best that they could. Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream are my favourite German bands. Aug 10, Nick Craske rated it really liked it. Jul 21, Matt Harris rated it really liked it. Musicians formed combinations and producers such as Conny Plank were equally lauded. Plank is pivotal to the story of this music and there could be multiple books related to him alone. He currently lives in London. The "rock" in its name is a little misleading too: a lot of it has nothing to do with rock at all. And the historical per I so wanted to love this book. A sweeping history of the men and women who transformed postwar Germany--and created a musical genre that revolutionized rock and roll and gave birth to hip-hop.

Those with creative minds found themselves without any sense of heritage, and an urge to rebel. I felt that Stubbs had a pretty sound perspective on the evolution of German culture. They became obsessed with material things and went over the top. Authoritative and highly readable, Future Days is the cultural and critical history the genre deserves, a joyful testament to the transformative power of art. Show 0 comments. When I was younger, I was prone to hero worship and being slightly obsessive I wanted to know as much as possible about the people who piqued my interest. Arlo Parks revisits her adolescence on debut album, Collapsed In Sunbeams. So what to do? The rowdy, ragged Faust trampled all over the very German rigorous work ethic and didactically intended humour of their obvious ancestor, Frank Zappa. Log in. Community Reviews. Unfortunately, interest in the movement has only picked up in recent years, and by the time this book was written in , we had already lost Dinger and Schnitzler, two of its key figures. And the author's verbal raptures soon pall. Future Days presents Krautrock in relationship to the turmoil and growing pains of Germany post WWII, and the organic way these basically unrelated bands faced the same problem of making a new German music. There are no Independent Premium comments yet - be the first to add your thoughts. But I do miss music conversations with an equally passionate friend, or more recently, with a used record shop owner who helped turn me on to the Krautrock scene and whose taste I trusted Rot in Peace Lps Lps. Meanwhile the term itself remains imprecise. An insight into the German society at the time conveys a sense of the psychology of this post-war generation and how the unique fate of Germany helped shape their musical expressions. It is perhaps a little overblown, but only as much as music journalism usually is. But this orphaned landscape proved fertile ground for a generation of musicians who, from the s onwards, would develop the experimental and various sounds that became known as Krautrock. West Germany after the Second World War was a country in shock: estranged from its recent history, and adrift from the rest of Europe. This is the demythologising of Krautrock and a great guide to the brilliant music made by bands we've all heard of but perhaps haven't heard. West Germany after the Second World War was a country in shock: estranged from its recent history, and adrift from the rest of Europe. That being said I enjoyed his discussion of Krautrock's influence on modern music immensely - his discussion of Bowie and Eno in particular.

I would have liked a more cogent grasp of the context in which the music was made. I saw him last year at a tiny club in Toronto. Several of the Krautrock musicians, Stubbs notes, cut their teeth playing rock and soul covers to American GIs stationed in the country. More by Anton Spice. Throughout Future Days , Stubbs brings the music to life with sharp critical analysis and vividly impressionistic prose. What were your first encounters with the music and what appealed to you first time around? Faust, Neu! He is good on the music, tracing its evolution and legacy, although the connections can get a bit wearying — the rock equivalent of genealogy. So while I sometimes was hearing more than I needed about the artists and bands of the Krautrock era I was mostly happy to get this useful and well- integrated a Waffled between three and four stars, I went for the four because I learned a lot. What made him travel halfway around the world to play such a small gig, at that hour, at his age, I'll never understand.

A massive answered prayer for fans of Krautrock, without which "hip hop, techno, electropop, ambient and post-rock might never have evolved. You look at Brit pop for example — compare and contrast krautrock and Britpop — and Brit Pop is this rather conservative, empty, triumphalist thing, and you think of how much more of its influence krautrock is yet to realize.

    Milla Berntsen (voice) Performance 2A Recital Performance Space, City, University of London 2 June 2021 4:45PM Keshi, “Drunk” from the album always (2020). Written by Casey Luong (Keshi). Casey Luong, professionally known as Keshi, is a 26-year-old American singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Houston, Texas, USA. He began his musical career by sharing his music on Soundcloud, where he eventually gained enough popularity to gain confidence to quit his job as a nurse and fly to New York City to sign with Island Records. He’s best known for his falsetto vocals and textural instrumentals in alternative, indie, and R&B music. This alternative/indie song is about feeling alone and missing being in love. The main character is left by himself while his friends are drunk, which causes him to think about his past lovers. It has a soothing moodiness to it along with a bit of playfulness in its melodramatic kick. I’ve chosen this song because I want to begin this performance by allowing the audience to layback as the song plays with both the high and low register of the voice. Let us take a sip, shall we? The Neighbourhood, “Stargazing” from the album Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones (2020). Written by Jesse James Rutherford (vocalist), Brandon Fried (drummer), Jeremiah Freedman (guitarist), Micheal Margott (bassist), Zachary Abels (guitarist), and Danny Parra. The Neighbourhood are an American rock band that formed in Newbury Park, California, in 2011. They use the British spelling of “neighbourhood” in order to distinguish themselves from a band already using the American spelling of “neighborhood.” Their musical style is described as alternative rock, indie rock/pop, and some elements of electronic, hip hop, and R&B.

AESTHETIC POLITICS OF AFFECT AND AUTONOMY In Arundhati Virmani (ed.), Political Aesthetics: Culture, Critique and the Everyday, London, Routledge, 2016, p.71-86. The emergence of techno music – commonly used in France as electronic dance music – in the early 1990s is inseparable from rave parties as a form of spatiotemporal deployment. It signifies that the live diffusion via a sound system powerful enough to diffuse not only its volume but also its sound frequencies spectrum, including infrabass, is an integral part of the techno experience. In other words listening on domestic equipment is not a sufficient condition to experience this music.

  • EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018
    EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018 Rebellion, genre, drugs, freedom, unity, sex, technology, place, community …………………. Disco • Disco marked the dawn of dance-based popular music. • Growing out of the increasingly groove-oriented sound of early '70s and funk, disco emphasized the beat above anything else, even the singer and the song. • Disco was named after discotheques, clubs that played nothing but music for dancing. • Most of the discotheques were gay clubs in New York • The seventies witnessed the flowering of gay clubbing, especially in New York. For the gay community in this decade, clubbing became 'a religion, a release, a way of life'. The camp, glam impulses behind the upsurge in gay clubbing influenced the image of disco in the mid-Seventies so much that it was often perceived as the preserve of three constituencies - blacks, gays and working-class women - all of whom were even less well represented in the upper echelons of rock criticism than they were in society at large. • Before the word disco existed, the phrase discotheque records was used to denote music played in New York private rent or after hours parties like the Loft and Better Days. The records played there were a mixture of funk, soul and European imports. These "proto disco" records are the same kind of records that were played by Kool Herc on the early hip hop scene. - STARS and CLUBS • Larry Levan was the first DJ-star and stands at the crossroads of disco, house and garage. He was the legendary DJ who for more than 10 years held court at the New York night club Paradise Garage.

  • Chiptuning Intellectual Property: Digital Culture Between Creative Commons and Moral Economy
    Chiptuning Intellectual Property: Digital Culture Between Creative Commons and Moral Economy Martin J. Zeilinger York University, Canada [email protected] Abstract This essay considers how chipmusic, a fairly recent form of alternative electronic music, deals with the impact of contemporary intellectual property regimes on creative practices. I survey chipmusicians’ reusing of technology and content invoking the era of 8-bit video games, and highlight points of contention between critical perspectives embodied in this art form and intellectual property policy. Exploring current chipmusic dissemination strategies, I contrast the art form’s links to appropriation-based creative techniques and the ‘demoscene’ amateur hacking culture of the 1980s with the chiptune community’s currently prevailing reliance on Creative Commons licenses for regulating access. Questioning whether consideration of this alternative licensing scheme can adequately describe shared cultural norms and values that motivate chiptune practices, I conclude by offering the concept of a moral economy of appropriation-based creative techniques as a new framework for understanding digital creative practices that resist conventional intellectual property policy both in form and in content. Keywords: Chipmusic, Creative Commons, Moral Economy, Intellectual Property, Demoscene Introduction The chipmusic community, like many other born-digital creative communities, has a rich tradition of embracing and encouraged open access, collaboration, and sharing. It does not like to operate according to the logic of informational capital and the restrictive enclosure movements this logic engenders. The creation of chipmusic, a form of electronic music based on the repurposing of outdated sound chip technology found in video gaming devices and old home computers, centrally involves the reworking of proprietary cultural materials.

Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Traditional Funk: An Ethnographic, Historical, and Practical Study of Funk Music in Dayton, Ohio Honors Thesis Caleb G. Vanden Eynden Department: Music Advisor: Samuel N. Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Abstract Recognized nationally as the funk capital of the world, Dayton, Ohio takes credit for birthing important funk groups (i.e. Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, and Lakeside) during the 1970s and 80s. Through a combination of ethnographic and archival research, this paper offers a pedagogical approach to Dayton funk, rooted in the styles and works of the city’s funk legacy. Drawing from fieldwork with Dayton funk musicians completed over the summer of 2019 and pedagogical theories of including black music in the school curriculum, this paper presents a pedagogical model for funk instruction that introduces the ingredients of funk (instrumentation, form, groove, and vocals) in order to enable secondary school music programs to create their own funk rooted in local history.

  • Roedelius Bio Engl
    ROEDELIUS: JARDIN AU FOU CD and Vinyl Release date: March 27th 2009 Cat No BB23 CD 927892/LP 927891 The essentials: ► Hans-Joachim Roedelius: born 1934; first record release in 1969 with Kluster (with Dieter Moebius and Konrad Schnitzler), and active ever since as a solo artist and in various collaborations (amongst others with Moebius/Cluster, Moebius and Michael Rother/Harmonia, as well as with Brian Eno). One of the most prolific musicians of the German avant-garde and a key figure in the birth of Krautrock, synthesizer pop and ambient music. ► Jardin au Fou was first released on the French EGG label in 1979 ► produced by Peter Baumann (Tangerine Dream) ► liner notes by Asmus Tietchens ► CD features six bonus tracks: three remixes, three new tracks One of the most remarkable albums of the so-called Krautrock scene has to be Jardin au Fou by Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia), issued in 1979. All the more noteworthy as it bore no resemblance whatsoever to what was expected of avant-garde electronica and displayed none of the typical Krautrock characteristics. Rhythm machine, sequencer and abstract sounds are conspicuous by their absence. Indeed, listeners were stunned by one of the most beautiful, charming, ethereal and peaceful albums in the history of German rock music. It was produced by Peter Baumann at his own Paragon Studios in 1978, a year after he left Tangerine Dream to concentrate on a solo career and production work. At the time, he was charged by the French label EGG with delivering three productions from the German electro/avant- garde/Krautrock cosmos.

  • 'And I Swear...' – Profanity in Pop Music Lyrics on the American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 and the Effect on Youtube Popularity
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 'And I Swear...' – Profanity In Pop Music Lyrics On The American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 And The Effect On Youtube Popularity Martin James Moloney, Hanifah Mutiara Sylva Abstract: The Billboard Chart tracks the sales and popularity of popular music in the United States of America. Due to the cross-cultural appeal of the music, the Billboard Chart is the de facto international chart. A concern among cultural commentators was the prevalence of swearing in songs by artists who were previously regarded as suitable content for the youth or ‗pop‘ market. The researchers studied songs on the Billboard Top 10 from 2009 to 2018 and checked each song for profanities. The study found that ‗pop‘, a sub-genre of ‗popular music‘ did contain profanities; the most profane genre, ‗Hip-hop/Rap‘ accounted for 76% of swearing over the ten-year period. A relationship between amount of profanity and YouTube popularity was moderately supported. The researchers recommended adapting a scale used by the British television regulator Ofcom to measure the gravity of swearing per song. Index Terms: Billboard charts, popularity, profanity, Soundcloud, swearing, YouTube. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION Ipsos Mori [7] the regulator of British television said that profane language fell into two main categories: (a) general 1.1 The American Billboard Charts and ‘Hot 100’ swear words and those with clear links to body parts, sexual The Billboard Chart of popular music was first created in 1936 references, and offensive gestures; and (b) specifically to archive the details of sales of phonographic records in the discriminatory language, whether directed at older people, United States [1].
