  • 394 GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980S and 1990S
    GLOSSARY Acid Jazz Late 1980s and 1990s trend where “London fashion victims created their own early seventies-infatuated bohemia by copying jazz-funk records of the era note by note.”1 Associated with DJ Giles Peterson, acid jazz combined jazz and funk influence with electronica to produce a “danceable” version of jazz. Some of the most prominent British artists associated with acid jazz include are the band 4Hero, producer Ronny Jordan, and the James Taylor Quartet (the last of which at one point included Nitin Sawhney.) Ambient Music intended to create a particular atmosphere. Brian Eno, considered a pioneer of the genre, notes, “One of the most important differences between ambient music and nearly any other kind of pop music is that it doesn’t have a narrative structure at all, there are no words, and there isn’t an attempt to make a story of some kind.”2 Ambient music often substitutes distinct melodies and rhythmic patterns for a wash of sound. Some prominent British artists during the 1990s include The Orb, KLF, Mixmaster Morris and Aphex Twin. Bhangra Bhangra originated as a male folk dance in Punjab to accompany the harvest festival, Baisakhi. It is still performed as a folk dance and may be identified by its characteristic swinging rhythm played on the dhol and dholki, double-sided barrel drums. From the late 1970s onwards, Punjabi immigrants in Britain began to fuse with electronic dance styles including house music and later hip-hop.3 These styles produced a distinct genre of music that was recognized as one of the first prominent examples of British Asian youth culture.

  • Ep. 11 - Tanya Muneera Williams
    Ep. 11 - Tanya Muneera Williams ABDUL-REHMAN MALIK VOICEOVER: My name is Abdul-Rehman Malik. I’m canvassing the world for the most interesting people, to hear about their journeys, their work, and what it means to be alive in the world today. And perhaps nobody has captured that experience, of being alive, better than the 13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic Jalaluddin Rumi in his poem, “The Guest House.” FEMALE VOICE: This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all. ABDUL-REHMAN MALIK VOICEOVER: So welcome to This Being Human. A podcast inspired by Rumi’s words and motivated by all those who carry that message forward in the world today. Today, poet and MC Tanya Muneera Williams. TANYA MUNEERA WILLIAMS: Thinking about Malcolm X, who is Malcolm X? And I wasn't sure who he was, but I knew that I wanted to be whatever he was, you know? And so, I explored various different things. And then when I found out that, like, Muslims pray five times a day, I was like, five times a day, I don't know if I could do that! ABDUL-REHMAN MALIK VOICEOVER: A few years ago, Tanya Muneera Williams wrote an op-ed for The Independent, titled: “I’m a Black female Jamaican hip-hop rapper - and I converted to Islam." The themes of race, womanhood and spirituality are a big part of Tanya’s work -- both as a poet and as half of the hip-hop duo “Poetic Pilgrimage.” She’s also an educator and a contributor to the popular BBC Radio 2 segment “Pause for Thought.” Tanya was born in Bristol, England.

  • Hermeneutics of Suspicion: Paranoia and the Technological Sublime in Drum and Bass Music by Dale Chapman Mount Allison University
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 2 (Fall 2003) Hermeneutics of Suspicion: Paranoia and the Technological Sublime in Drum and Bass Music by Dale Chapman Mount Allison University 1. Few recent films, independent or otherwise, approach the degree of taut, visceral intensity generated by the movie ! (Daniel Aronovsky, 1998). With its story of a brilliant mathematician haunted by the elusive specter of a powerful equation—an equation charged with explaining the most unpredictable patterns in our universe—! taps into the heady mixture of euphoria and paranoia that characterizes its cultural moment. One of the most intense moments in the film, though, takes place before this story even gets properly under way. The title sequence of ! captures an intense synergy between aural and visual manipulation: as the movie begins, a nebulous, sustained texture provides a musical extension of the mute signifier “!” which is presented to us in its enigmatic Greek spelling. Through this lens, the concept of pi seems to take on a quality of abstraction, as something that can be labeled by a single, opaque symbol. As the tentative first beats of the theme’s breakbeat groove come in, however, the true significance of “pi” becomes fleshed out: firstly through the 3.14 that constitutes the layperson’s understanding of pi, then in terms of the infinite string of digits that make up the larger totality of this irrational number. The visual representation of this string is immensely powerful, as the digits are scrolled upwards far too quickly for the viewer to grasp. 2.

(Stewart 1995, p4) Although “future Jazz” may appear pretentious especially as labelling any art form can be counter productive, the general direction of this introductory quote does have substance. These music forms have under gone huge change due to unforeseen influences from DJ’s, musicians and producers together with it’s enormous effect on dance and the club scene. During the 60’s and 70’s major investment was injected into producing original material. Just as the 1000’s of films made in the 40’s and 50’s did not receive wide exposure, becoming cult material of today. Now in the age of sampling and technology this has in effect created a massive back catalogue. I intend to examine the process that took place from original production to re-issuing in the 80’s and contemporary musician’s, DJ’s and labels exploitation of these past materials, through to their effect on today’s ‘nu-jazz’ music.
