House, Techno & the Origins of Electronic Dance Music
HOUSE, TECHNO & THE ORIGINS OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC 1 EARLY HOUSE AND TECHNO ARTISTS THE STUDIO AS AN INSTRUMENT TECHNOLOGY AND ‘MISTAKES’ OR ‘MISUSE’ 2 How did we get here? disco electro-pop soul / funk Garage - NYC House - Chicago Techno - Detroit Paradise Garage - NYC Larry Levan (and Frankie Knuckles) Chicago House Music House music borrowed disco’s percussion, with the bass drum on every beat, with hi-hat 8th note offbeats on every bar and a snare marking beats 2 and 4. House musicians added synthesizer bass lines, electronic drums, electronic effects, samples from funk and pop, and vocals using reverb and delay. They balanced live instruments and singing with electronics. Like Disco, House music was “inclusive” (both socially and musically), infuenced by synthpop, rock, reggae, new wave, punk and industrial. Music made for dancing. It was not initially aimed at commercial success. The Warehouse Discotheque that opened in 1977 The Warehouse was the place to be in Chicago’s late-’70s nightlife scene. An old three-story warehouse in Chicago’s west-loop industrial area meant for only 500 patrons, the Warehouse often had over 2000 people crammed into its dark dance foor trying to hear DJ Frankie Knuckles’ magic. In 1982, management at the Warehouse doubled the admission, driving away the original crowd, as well as Knuckles. Frankie Knuckles and The Warehouse "The Godfather of House Music" Grew up in the South Bronx and worked together with his friend Larry Levan in NYC before moving to Chicago. Main DJ at “The Warehouse” until 1982 In the early 80’s, as disco was fading, he started mixing disco records with a drum machines and spacey, drawn out lines. -
The Aesthetics of Acid
The Aesthetics Of Acid by Rick Bull Since the technological paranoia of the cold-war era, and the ensuing political and social consequences of the military technological boom, the development of electronic musics and proliferation of technologies through the 1970’s to the 90’s has seen the amalgamation of a multitude of cultural music ‘systems’- the formation of a universal and hybridised(ing) ‘pop aesthetic’1. In the West at least, the employment of electronic music technology has largely been used to reinforce the ‘classificatory arrangements’2 of the anglo-saxon listening ear - those classical tonal / structural orders criticised by the likes of Webern, Schoenberg and Boulez3......Towards the end of the 1980’s however, the popular appropriation of available technologies was challenged greatly by groups of experimentalists from Detroit, Chicago and Frankfurt - leaders of the ‘acid house’ explosion of the late 80’s, whose musics’ roots greatly shaped the aesthetic of today’s diversified ‘techno’ music genre. Much could be discussed in regards to history and subsequent sterilisation / diversification of such music, yet this essay seeks to focus primarily upon the change in cultural ‘hearing’ that could be suggested has occurred in the late 20th century; reflected and catalysed by the appropriators of frequently ‘obsolete’ musical technologies. I suggest, that through the popularised use of sampling and analogue tone production, and overall shift in the electro- pop listening aesthetic can be observed; ie. that from high to frequently ‘low’ tone fidelity - from a transparent to ‘opaque’ technological ethic, from a melodic / harmonic to largely modal and heavily rhythm based ideal. -

Björk Reaches Beyond the Binaries
COMMUNICATOR BETWEEN WORLDS: BJÖRK REACHES BEYOND THE BINARIES Edwin F. Faulhaber A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Kimberly Coates, Advisor Robert Sloane ii ABSTRACT Kimberly Coates, Advisor Icelandic pop star Björk has spent her career breaking down boundaries, blurring lines, and complicating binaries between perceived opposites. Examining a variety of both primary and secondary sources, this study looks at the ways that Björk challenges the binary constructions of “high” and “low” art, nature and technology, and feminism and traditional femininity, and also proposes that her uniquely postmodern approach to blurring boundaries can be a model for a better society in general. This study contends that Björk serves as a symbol of what might be possible if humans stopped constructing boundaries between everything from musical styles to national borders, and as a model for how people can focus on their commonalities while still respecting the freedom of individual expression. This is particularly important in the United States of America, a place where despite its infinite potential for cultural pluralism and collaboration, there are as many (or more) divisions between people based upon race, class, gender, and religion as anywhere else in the world. iii Dedicated to Morgaine iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Kim Coates and Rob Sloane, for all of their suggestions and encouragement while I wrote this thesis. I would also like to thank Dr. Don McQuarie and Gloria Enriquez Pizana for their support and assistance, as well as a host of wonderful professors who laid the groundwork for this thesis by inspiring me along the way: Rob, Kim, Drs. -

00:00:00 Music Music “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by Thes One of People Under the Stairs. (Heat Rocks theme song.) 00:00:06 Oliver Host Hello! I’m Oliver Wong. 00:00:08 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes! You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a Heat Rock— y’know, fire, flammables—an album that bumps eternally. And today, we’re forming into an army of one to revisit an album that turns 25 years old. Damn. This year. Björk’s sophomore smash— “Post.” 00:00:26 Music Music “Possibly Maybe” off the album Post by Björk. Unless otherwise indicated, all songs in this episode are from Post. Rhythmic dial tone-esque sounds with keyboard; mellow, contemplative, and slow. Music fades into background as Morgan speaks. Your flirt finds me out… [Music fades out as Morgan speaks] 00:00:47 Morgan Host Marsha Norman—the Pulitzer-prize winning playwright—says, quote—“Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” End quote. I like that. Björk’s sophomore album “Post” feels like an illustration from the book your dreams are writing about you. Dreams, though, written in technicolor; directed by Spike Jonze; scored by John Williams and Massive Attacks; informed by your subconscious and your secrets and your loins— [Oliver laughs.] —and a good day. Everything’s present on this offering—Björk’s signature growl; sweeping chords and the mixed media that is dramatic orchestration; beats, percussive elements, and the moves she makes sonically—from whisper to yell to dropping some old jewels on you while you’re caught up in some beautifully-arranged revelry.
