Discourse on Disco
Chapter 1: Introduction to the cultural context of electronic dance music The rhythmic structures of dance music arise primarily from the genre’s focus on moving dancers, but they reveal other influences as well. The poumtchak pattern has strong associations with both disco music and various genres of electronic dance music, and these associations affect the pattern’s presence in popular music in general. Its status and musical role there has varied according to the reputation of these genres. In the following introduction I will not present a complete history of related contributors, places, or events but rather examine those developments that shaped prevailing opinions and fields of tension within electronic dance music culture in particular. This culture in turn affects the choices that must be made in dance music production, for example involving the poumtchak pattern. My historical overview extends from the 1970s to the 1990s and covers predominantly the disco era, the Chicago house scene, the acid house/rave era, and the post-rave club-oriented house scene in England.5 The disco era of the 1970s DISCOURSE ON DISCO The image of John Travolta in his disco suit from the 1977 motion picture Saturday Night Fever has become an icon of the disco era and its popularity. Like Blackboard Jungle and Rock Around the Clock two decades earlier, this movie was an important vehicle for the distribution of a new dance music culture to America and the entire Western world, and the impact of its construction of disco was gigantic.6 It became a model for local disco cultures around the world and comprised the core of a common understanding of disco in mainstream popular music culture.

Employee Relations LAW JOURNAL
VOL. 47, NO. 2 AUTUMN 2021 Employee Relations LAW JOURNAL A Guide to Drafting Effective Assignments of Copyrights and Patents in Employment Agreements and Beyond – Part I Steven H. Sholk In this two-part article, the author addresses the assignments that are necessary for employers to ensure their ownership of copy- rights and patents with reasonable certainty. In this first part, the author discusses the scope of copyright and patent protection and then authorship and copyright ownership of works made for hire; an author’s moral rights for works of visual art not made for hire; the rights of termination and recapture of copyright trans- fers for works not made for hire; specially ordered or commis- sioned works of independent contractors as works made for hire; works created by an employee within the scope of employment as works made for hire; the scope of employment under an employ- ment agreement; assignment of copyright for works not made for hire; and more. The second part, which will appear in an upcom- ing issue of Employee Relations Law Journal, will continue the analysis. “[T]he rule [for patent assignments] nonetheless remains a technical drafting trap for the unwary.” Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University v. Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., 563 U.S. 776, 800 (2011) (Breyer, J., dissenting). Steven H.

It was convenient for people wanting to see more than one dis- play. The torchlight parade and fireworks got underway just before 8 p.m. at Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort. That left enough time to drive over to enjoy another torchlight parade and fireworks display at Black- jack Mountain starting at 10 p.m. “This is the 60th birthday of Indianhead Mountain,” said a staffer on the phone Tuesday. “It’s a special one this year.” The torchlight parade at Black- jack and Powderhorn included resort staff and advanced skiers. There is no lighting on the hill except for a spotlight placed on the top to help the skiers see the contours of the snow. The skiers hold flares that gave the dazzling contrast of red against the white snow. “You just follow the guy in front of you,” said Scott Leipzig, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who was Tom LaVenture/Daily Globe a skier in the torchlight parade at SKIERS TAKING part in a New Year’s Eve torchlight parade come down a slope making an “S” shape at Big Powderhorn Mountain Big Powderhorn Mountain, along Resort.
