Exklusives Video-Interview Mit Duran Duran Legende Nick Rhodes PRESSEINFORMATION Roland präsentiert: Exklusives Video-Interview mit Duran Duran Legende Nick Rhodes Nauheim, 05. November 2015 – Nick Rhodes erkennt einen großartigen Synthesizer, wenn er ihn spielt. Als Mitbegründer der britischen New Wave-Ikone Duran Duran schrieb die Tastenlegende mit an den Hits, die Millionen Fans begeisterten und verhalf den Singles der Band in den 80ern zu ihrem enormen Erfolg. Trotz des raketenartigen Aufstiegs der Band haben sich manche Dinge nie geändert: „Ich habe Roland Geräte immer geliebt“, gesteht Nick. „Sie alle haben ihre eigene Persönlichkeit und ihren eigenen Charakter.“ In einem exklusiven Video-Interview verrät Nick, wie die Roland Synthesizer Duran Duran in jeder Phase ihrer faszinierenden Karriere inspiriert haben. Und er erinnert sich daran, wie der Roland SH-2 und der CSQ-100 im Mittelpunkt ihrer Kult-Klassiker wie „The Chauffeur“ oder „Save A Prayer“ standen, wie der bahnbrechende Roland Jupiter-4 im Jahr 1982 das ruckelnde Intro zu ihrem Mega-Hit „Rio“ beisteuerte oder warum der Roland Jupiter-8 sein ständiger Begleiter war, als die Band die Stadien dieser Welt rockte. Das Video demonstriert auch, wie Nick die vielseitigen Features des neuen Roland JD-XA Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizers für sein 14. Studioalbum „Paper Gods“ einsetzt und warum dieser bahnbrechende Synthesizer bei der anstehenden Welttournee der Band zum Einsatz kommt. „Ich bin voller Vorfreude“, so Rhodes, „denn er hat etwas, das kein anderer Synthesizer hat…“ Das Video-Interview mit Nick Rhodes finden Sie unter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkq6a0hHof0 Weitere Informationen: www.rolandmusik.de ROLAND Germany GmbH Die Firma ROLAND, 1972 von Ikutaro Kakehashi in Japan gegründet, zählt zu den wichtigsten Lieferanten für elektronische Musikinstrumente und ist Marktführer in den Bereichen Synthesizer, Effektgeräte und Schlagzeuge.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

  • Duran Duran, Rio - Factsheet
    Duran Duran, Rio - Factsheet Duran Duran, Rio (1982) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3W6yf6c-FA Subject content focus area Media language Representation Contexts Background context • Formed by John Taylor and Nick Rhodes in Birmingham in 1978, Duran Duran is an English new wave and synth-pop band. The band soon became one of the most successful bands of the 1980s. • The MTV cable channel and Duran Duran were launched at about the same time, and so each helped the other reach greater heights. MTV were looking for music videos to air and Duran Duran wanted exposure. • Many of the band’s videos were shot on 35mm film which gave a more polished look than other artists and they also collaborated with professional film directors. • The band’s fashion-model looks and glamorous sense of style was emphasised through their music videos and their reputation was built through them. • “Rio” the single was released on 1st November 1982 and was the title track for the band’s second studio album which was released on 10th May 1982. • The song became a top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #9 on 11 December 1982. • “Rio” is one of the band’s most recognisable songs, predominantly because of its well-known music video, which clearly depicts the glamour and excess so common in the 1980s. Part 1: Starting points - Media language • The video for “Rio” has little in the way of a cohesive plot, it is simply five good looking men cavorting on a yacht, trying to vie for the attention of Rio, a beautiful female.
