Edwyn Collins dossier de presse (gb) edwyn collins MUsiQUe expo le live Un miraculé sauvé par le rock’n’roll. L’Ecossais Edwyn Collins, terrassé en 2005 par une attaque cérébrale, est lentement revenu à la vie grâce à trois albums thérapeutiques. L’élégant crooner de Glasgow, dont la chanson A Girl Like You a fait le tour de la planète au mitan des années 90, compte parmi les figures du pop-rock britannique. De son premier groupe emblématique Orange Juice à son parcours solo jalonné de huit albums, Collins a inventé un son pop romantique original qui mêle le Velvet Underground à Curtis Mayfield ou les Byrds à Chic. Gorgés de soul et de rock vintage, ses derniers enregis- trements témoignent d’une inspiration majestueusement ravivée, à l’image du récent et éblouissant Understated.

En France, on le connaît surtout pour son tube A Girl Like You. Au Royaume-Uni et même parmi les jeunes groupes américains nourris aux blogs, Edwyn Collins, qui sort cette semaine son septième album solo, est de- puis trente ans, en solo ou avec son groupe Orange Juice, une influence constante. En mélangeant naïvement à Glasgow le Velvet Underground et Curtis Mayfield, les Byrds et Chic, il inventait un son qui allait servir de tuteur légal à toute une pop romantique et frénétique. Ce n’est pas un hasard si les Drums mais aussi Johnny Marr des Smiths se pressent au chevet de ce nouvel al- bum. C’était précisément pour parler de cette influence alors évidente, digérée et assumée en tête des charts anglais – notamment sous la houlette de Franz Ferdinand – qu’Edwyn Collins avait été invité, le 18 février 2005 sur les ondes de la BBC. Il sortit du studio nauséeux. Deux jours plus tard, sa femme le retrouvait, en petit tas disloqué, sur le parquet de leur salon : il venait d’être victime d’une hémorragie cérébrale carabinée. Après cinq jours entre la vie et la mort, une seconde hémorra- gie encore plus violente le terrasse. Les médecins annoncent à sa femme Grace qu’il ne lui reste que quelques heures à vivre. “Je ne voyais pas comment il pouvait remonter. Pour moi, il était déjà légume, en coma dépassé.” Moins d’un an plus tard, Edwyn Collins émerge pourtant de l’hôpital, le flanc droit paralysé, privé de l’usage de la parole, de ses jambes, partiellement amnésique, une plaque de titane vissée sur la boîte crânienne. Mais il a défié la médecine, il est vivant. Résumant cette lente odyssée vers la lumière, Edwyn Collins dira : “Je suis mort. Et puis j’ai ressuscité.” Edwyn Collins, érudit de toutes choses liées au Velvet Underground, n’a jamais oublié une vieille chanson de Lou Reed. Elle disait : “Her life was saved by rock’n’roll.” Sa vie sera donc sauvée par le rock’n’roll. “Je n’oublie- rai jamais la première chanson que j’ai entendu en sortant du coma. Grace m’avait emmené un CD, le premier titre était Promised Land de Johnnie Allan et je me suis mis à pleurer, submergé par l’émotion. Dans mon cer- veau, tout était flou, en miettes, mais la musique était restée. Ça a été un déclic.” Il décide alors de narguer la mort, d’estomaquer la médecine. Il a perdu l’usage de la main droite ? Qu’importe, il écrira de la gauche. Il ne peut plus jouer de guitare ? Tant pis, il demandera à un musicien de jouer le rythme, réservant les accords sur le manche à sa main valide. Il lui faut aussi retrouver sa voix.

The first chapter discusses the kindsof ideas people have about Indians, especially stereotypes of Indians being wild, red-colored, and uncivilized. The second chapterlooks at the prehistory of Indian culture to see the ways in which Indianpeoples learned to exploit the land. The excavations ofan Indian camp site at Green Point, Michigan, are described, including discussionof the dig, findings, and changes in Indian life from S00-1700A.D. Chapter three recounts Indian-white relations during 1600-1900 inorder to explore what happened when a stone-age culture facedan acquisitive white culture that was more highly developed and hadmore resources. The Iroquois Indians in the northeastserve as an example of how Indian life patterns were destroyed by European, occupationof America. The last chapter examines the Indian-whitecontact and the way it has caused recent problems for Indians.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
