Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies. -
MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other. -
Unit Delta Plus
http://www.delia-derbyshire.org/unitdeltaplus.php Unit Delta Plus www.delia-derbyshire.org Unit Delta Plus studio Unit Delta Plus was an organisation set up in 1966 by Delia Derbyshire, Brian Hodgson and Peter Zinovieff to create electronic music and also promote its use in television, film and advertising. The Unit Delta Plus studio was based in Peter Zinovieff's townhouse in Deodar Road, Putney, London. In 1966 they held an electronic music festival at the Watermill Theatre near Newbury, Berkshire, England. Delia said of the event: "We had an evening of electronic music and light effects. The music was indoors, in a theatre setting, with a screen on which were projected light shows done by lecturers from the Hornsey College of Art. It was billed as the first concert of British electronic music; that was a bit presumptious! John Betjeman was the re... he sat in the front row and w ent to s lee p... it was quit e a social occ asion." Million Volt Rave Flyer Perhaps the most famous event that Unit Delta Plus participated in was the 1967 Million Volt Light and Sound Rave at London's Chalk Farm roundhouse, organised by design ers Binder, Edwards and Vaughan (who had previously been hired by Paul McCartney to decorate a piano ). The event took place over two nights (January 28th and February 4th 1967) and included a performance of tape music by Unit Delta Plus, as well as a playback of the legendary Carnival of Light, a fourteen minute sound collage assembled by McCartney around the the time of the Beatles' Penny Lane sessions. -

The Beatles, Instrumentals En Fora Mei 2009
L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 The Beatles, Instrumentals en Fora L.M. van der Schoot Studentnummer: 0456659.

Datum: mei 2009. 1 Lotte van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en Google Maart 2009 “Anyone tackling the oft-told tale of John, Paul, George and Ringo had better come up with a new angle, or new facts, or new interviews, or new something - or risk suffering the wrath of zillions of Beatles nuts.” Kirkus Reviews 2007, Academic Search Elite 2 L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 Woord vooraf Aan het begin van collegejaar 2008/2009 heb ik een cursus popmuziek gevolgd. Deze cursus had als onderwerp 'the popular instrumental'. Uit onderzoek voor deze paper kwam naar voren dat de bekendste popgroep aller tijden - The Beatles - ook instrumentale songs hebben geschreven. Mijn interesse was gewekt, te meer omdat ik de Beatles voornamelijk kende van nummers zoals 'Hey Jude', 'Yesterday' en 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Deze fameuze popgroep heeft dus eveneens andersoortige nummers geschreven. In deze thesis wil ik geen 'herziene' versie maken van informatie die al tot in den treuren is uitgeplozen. Dit is echter niet eenvoudig, maar 'instrumentale nummers' is één van de onderwerpen die als onderwerp op zichzelf, nooit onderzocht is. In de hoogtij dagen van The Beatles – de jaren 1960 – zijn er maar op 3 albums instrumentals terug te vinden. De bekendste is waarschijnlijk 'Revolution 9' van de White Album (1968). Verder staat op het album Magical Mystery Tour (1967) het nummer 'Flying'. -

Signe particulier : Minimaliste Fan de : Henry Purcell Violon d’Ingres : Les musiques de films Michael Nyman (Photo : X.D.R) DU CRITIQUE MUSICAL AU COMPOSITEUR ichael Nyman a étudié le piano et le clavecin au Royal College of Music et au King’s College. A cette époque, il compose déjà mais en 1964, il décide de mettre de côté l’écriture Mmusicale pour travailler en tant que musicologue puis par la suite, il devient critique musical. Ses articles se retrouvent dans des revues comme The Listener, The Spectator... Durant cette période, le monde de la musique contemporaine est fortement imprégné par des compositeurs comme Boulez, Stockhausen, Xenakis… À travers ses articles, Michael Nyman choisit de mettre en lumière des courants musicaux émergents. Dans le même temps, il n’hésite pas à consacrer ses analyses musicales à des genres autres que le classique : le rock, la musique indienne… Cet éclectisme l’amènera plus tard à jouer et composer avec des musiciens issus de divers horizons musicaux. Ainsi, dans le courant des années 1970, il collabore tour à tour avec le groupe de rock anglais The Flying Lizards1, avec le mandoliniste indien U.Shrinivas ou bien encore avec sa compatriote Kate Bush2. -
A Laboratory Manual
BJHS Themes (2020), 5, 225–243 doi:10.1017/bjt.2020.5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Recipes for recombining DNA: A history of Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual Angela N.H. Creager* Department of History, Princeton University, 129 Dickinson Hall, Princeton, NJ 08544-1174, USA. *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Laboratory instructions and recipes are sometimes edited into books with a wide circulation. Even in the late twentieth century, publications of this nature remained influential. For example, protocols from a 1980 summer course on gene cloning at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory provided the basis for a bestselling laboratory manual by Tom Maniatis, Ed Fritsch and Joe Sambrook. Not only did the Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual become a standard reference for molecular biologists (com- monly called the ‘bible’), but also its recipes and clear instructions made gene cloning and recom- binant DNA technologies accessible to non-specialists. Consequently, this laboratory manual contributed to the rapid spread of genetic-engineering techniques throughout the life sciences, as well as in industry. As is often the case with how-to books, however, finding a way to update methods in this rapidly changing field posed a challenge, and various molecular-biology reference books had different ways of dealing with knowledge obsolescence. This paper explores the origins of this manual, its publication history, its reception and its rivals – as well as the more recent migra- tion of such laboratory manuals to the Internet. The invention of recombinant DNA techniques in the early 1970s consolidated the high- profile focus on molecular genetics, a trend under way since Watson and Crick’s double- helical DNA model in 1953. -

Between 1962, when they made their first recordings, and 1970, when they disbanded, the Beatles drew upon several styles, including rock ‘n’ roll, to produce rock: today a term that almost defines today’s popular music. In 1963 their successes in England as live performers and recording artists inspired Beatlemania, which calls to mind the Lisztomania associated with the spectacular success of Franz Liszt’s 1842 German concert tour. -

Peter Greenaway Regis Dialogue Formatted
Peter Greenaway Regis Dialogue with Peter Wollen, 1997 Bruce Jenkins: This dialogue of 1997 is the final event in a wonderful month, an adventure through the body of Peter Greenaway in our G Is For Greenaway series. Bruce Jenkins: He's been here with us today and I will shortly be bringing him on stage. Tonight really is a night of Peters. We not only have Mr. Greenaway but his interlocutor tonight, Peter Wollen. Bruce Jenkins: And then finally a Peter you won't see who I want to acknowledge at the beginning, Peter Murphy, who for the better part of a decade has been masterminding these evenings that so elegantly run with excerpts from the films being able to be interpolated into the dialogue. So, my thanks to Peter Murphy who will be the invisible Peter tonight. Bruce Jenkins: Just a couple of words of introduction. Peter Wollen and I first met as a graduate student about 20 years ago. He has continued to teach for the last eight years at UCLA. He is the author of what at one time was the leading book on film theory, Signs and Meaning in the Cinema, but he's also continued to publish and write. A regular contributor to the British journal Sight and Sound. He has lectured widely, he has continued to do a great deal of things, including screenplay writing. You may know him a little bit from the screenplay he did for Antonioni's The Passenger, as well as his last visit here to The Walker with a wonderful allegorical film Friendship's Death. -
