​Joan As Police Woman – I Den Sofistikerede 2020-01-16 12:00 CET Joan As Police Woman – i den sofistikerede popsangs tjeneste VEGA og All Things Live Præsenterer Joan As Police Woman – i den sofistikerede popsangs tjeneste Den 9. juni kan publikum nyde et sprødt mix af nye covernumre, gamle klassikere og uudgivne kompositioner, når Joan As Police Woman rammer VEGA. Den betagende indiepop-dronning, Joan As Police Woman, er snart klar med nye meditative og bevægende coverversioner. Den første maj udkommer albummet, Cover Two, som er nummer to i rækken, hvor den Brooklynbaserede musiker fortolker en række populære sangskrivere. Om arbejdet med coversangene fortæller hun: “Recreating existing songs is a gratifying creative challenge for me, especially with songs I adore. I start with the question ‘WHY, exactly, do I love this song’? I take those elements and reform them, sometimes removing much of the remaining material to refocus them through new glasses. I re-harmonize the chords, radically change the feel or shift the hook or the phrasing to rebuild the composition.” Joan As Police Woman aka. Joan Wasser har siden hun udgav sit debutalbum Real Life i 2006 execelleret i gribende liveshows og skarptskårne, ærlige tekster. Hun har gennem sin karriere ikke kun tiltrukket sig opmærksomhed for sine skønne sange, men også som samarbejdspartner og muse for så forskellige kunstnere som ANOHNI, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Beck, RZA og Daniel Johnston. Sidste år udgav sangskriveren det retrospektive album Joanthology, der på smukkeste vis bevæger sig mellem et væld af stilarter af sofistikerede poprock-sange, funklende jazzeksperimenter samt smukke duetter med bl.a. ANOHNI og Rufus Wainwright.

  • Joan As Police Woman
    PRESSEMITTEILUNG VOM 17.05.2018 Joan as Police Woman Im Juli für zwei Termine in Deutschland Joan As Police Woman hat im Februar ihr neues Studioalbum “Damned Devotion“ veröffentlicht. Frühere Alben haben Auszeichnungen um Auszeichnungen erhalten, wie das beste Rock- und Popalbum bei den Independent Music Awards (“Real Life“) oder das Album des Jahres des Q Magazine (“To Survive“). Während ihr 2014er Album “The Classic“ eine gefühlvolle Feier des Lebens war und ihr 2011er Album “The Deep Field“ eine üppige, stimmungsvolle musikalische Erweiterung ihres Gesamtwerks darstellte, gehen die Kompositionen auf “Damned Devotion“, ihrem nunmehr fünften Studioalbum, zurück zum Kern: Nackte Lyrik gepaart mit zeitlosen Melodien. „This record is darker and more pensive. The title is undeniably dramatic but it’s a subject I’ve been tan- gling with all my life: how does one live a devoted life without becoming obsessed or losing one’s mind?“, sagt Joan Wasser über “Damned Devotion“. Es gibt natürlich die gut dokumentierten dunklen Zeiten im Leben von Joan Wasser: der Tod ihres Freundes Jeff Buckley 1997, der Selbstmord ihres Freundes Elliot Smith im Jahr 2003 und der Tod ihrer Mutter vier Jahre später. Musik war stets die Medizin, die sie durch schwierige Zeiten getragen hat. Die Lücke zwischen “The Classic” und “Damned Devotion” wurden durch Zusammenarbeiten mit den Modedesignern Viktor & Rolf sowie Sufjan Stevens, Lau, RZA und erst kürzlich mit Daniel Johnston geschlossen. Mit ihrem neuen Album gastierte Joan as Police Woman bereits im April in Deutschland und beehrt uns nun für zwei weitere Termine im Sommer. Joan as Police Woman 16.07.18 Berlin, Lido 17.07.18 Heidelberg, Karlstorbahnhof Tickets für die Tour sind ab sofort erhältlich im Internet über www.schoneberg.de als auch bei ausgesuchten CTS-/Eventim VVK-Stellen.

  • Hammer Museum Honors Laurie Anderson and Todd
    For Immediate Release: October 10, 2016 Contact: Nancy Lee, [email protected], 310-443-7016 HAMMER MUSEUM HONORS LAURIE ANDERSON AND TODD HAYNES AT THE GALA IN THE GARDEN WITH SUPPORT FROM BOTTEGA VENETA Highlights included tributes from Karl Ove Knausgaard & Sarah Paulson; live performances by Laurie Anderson, Rufus Wainwright (Los Angeles, CA)—On Saturday, October 8, 2016, the Hammer Museum welcomed cultural and civic leaders, artists, collectors, patrons of the arts, and entertainment world notables to the 14th annual Gala in the Garden. The Gala raised over $2 million to support the Hammer’s dynamic and nationally acclaimed exhibitions and public programs, which are always free to the public. Returning for the fourth year, Bottega Veneta partnered with the Hammer Museum to present this year’s Gala in the Garden, celebrating both artists and creative expression in Los Angeles. Nearly 600 guests attended the Gala—held in the Museum’s outdoor courtyard—which honored artist Laurie Anderson and filmmaker Todd Haynes with tribute speeches by Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard and Emmy-winning actress Sarah Paulson. Singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright performed “Candles,” “The Art Teacher,” and “Going to a Town.” Event co-chairs included Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison, Robert Soros, and Bottega Veneta Creative Director Tomas Maier. The menu for the seated dinner was created by Suzanne Goin of Lucques. Maier and Hammer Museum Director Ann Philbin, wearing a Bottega Veneta suit, greeted guests who support the creative community at the Hammer including UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas, Paul McCarthy, Kim Gordon, January Jones, Will Ferrell, Mark Bradford, Patricia Arquette, Elizabeth Chambers, Emma Roberts, Selma Blair, Amanda Peet, Sterling Ruby, Alessandra Ambrosio, Laura Dern, Mamie Gummer, Minnie Driver, Isabel Lucas, Liz Goldwyn, Tom Ford, Joel McHale, Andie MacDowell, Frances Stark, and Njideka Akunyili Crosby.

  • 1 a Conversation with Rufus Wainwright by Frank
    A Conversation with Rufus Wainwright by Frank Goodman (6/2007, Puremusic.com) Rufus Wainwright has gotten so big in recent years that he needs no introduction from us. His new CD Release The Stars debuted at #2 in the UK and #10 at iTunes. He is the brother of Martha and the son of Loudon and of Canadian Folk icon Kate McGarrigle. In Wikipedia, his genres are listed as Baroque Pop and Popera. His dad in a PM interview said that Rufus began listening to opera at a very young age. No, he doesn't sing like that, but on the other hand, no one's melodies are quite or even remotely like his. Also, his string and horn arrangements (whether handled by himself or his partners in poperatic crime) are quite unto themselves, and always one of the elements that set him immediately apart from the field, the entire field. In Michael Hill's beautiful bio at rufuswainwright.com, both the author's and especially the artist's words tell the story of Rufus's first self-produced CD and connected events in a most impressive fashion. It's reassuring that in this vapid rapid time there are still real artists in popular music. Puremusic: We haven't spoken in this way since 2003, so it's really great to have you on the phone again. Rufus Wainwright: Thank you. PM: Release the Stars, another triumph. You're in top form. RW: Thank you so much. Yeah, I'm definitely going for something-- [laughter] RW: God knows what it is, but it's something.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs.
