«Sound Translations» – Film Project | Norient.Com 29 Sep 2021 19:05:11 «Sound Translations» – Film Project by Norient «Sound Translations» – Film Project | norient.com 29 Sep 2021 19:05:11 «Sound Translations» – Film Project by Norient In Sound Translations, Peter Guyer (Recycled TV AG) and Thomas Burkhalter (Norient) narrate stories around seven video clips and audio tracks from selected musicians worldwide. The project results in seven short movies (26 minutes each), one theatrical film, and an interactive online platform. The accelerated processes of globalization and digitalization have revolutionized music making on many levels. Throughout the world, musicians are finding new ways to produce music at low cost and promote it globally. Today’s music markets have become a confusing mosaic of a million minimarkets and micro-stars. Musicians from Beijing to Tijuana, from Istanbul to Johannesburg, mix and manipulate local and global sounds and ideas within their music. They network with artists and multipliers (e.g., curators, producers, journalists, and scholars) worldwide and experiment with new ways of producing, distributing, and selling music. Style-wise, the sample is broad and includes commercially successful styles of pop music like reggaeton and kwaito as well as electronic music styles like nortec, baile funk, shangaan electro, or cumbia electronica that form the popular end of the spectrum. The experimental end offers African, Asian, and Latin American musique concrète, free improvisation, noise music, and sound art. The multimedia project Sound Translations focuses on the great variety of production, translating and marketing strategies. The project aims to highlight how cultural forms, styles, and ideas are negotiated in and between local and global networks and markets. Episode 1: Irony and Parody: FOKN Bois, Ghana https://norient.com/stories/soundtranslations Page 1 of 6 «Sound Translations» – Film Project | norient.com 29 Sep 2021 19:05:11 After six days of filming in Accra in March 2013, the XL-Teaser «Ghana is the Future» was edited and published online in February 2014 around the key track «Help America». In the XL-teaser, the Ghanaian rappers FOKN Bois raise money for the United States of America in the streets of Ghana. Their provocative motto is «Africa is on the way up, and the US is on the way down». The XL-teaser shows how these two rappers compete with, against, and within various growing markets in Ghana, including new churches like the Alive Chapel International and mobile phone companies like Glo Mobile. The rap duo comment on these markets with humor and parody, thereby enabling them to reach international and local audiences alike. Find all info to the XL-Teaser shown at the top here. Episode 2: Noise and Protest: Meira Asher, Israel https://norient.com/stories/soundtranslations Page 2 of 6 «Sound Translations» – Film Project | norient.com 29 Sep 2021 19:05:11 Not many performers reach the intensity, harshness and nastiness of Israeli noise artist and activist Meira Asher. Her goal is to «reduce militarization», through noise performances, experimental radio art, and activism. In Israel she works within a small network of musicians and activist. Through her, her friends, and her critics, Sound Translations aims to show the possibilities and limits of noise music and radio art as forms of protest. The episode also talks about the fascination with violence and war that musicians, producers and listeners outside of places of war share. The soundtrack included «war dubs» from the UK, glorification of war by Italian Futurists like Luigi Russolo, and imitations of warfare by composers like Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Having no passport, Islam Chipsy misses the lates hype around Mahragan MCs and DJs within Europe. Mahragan musicians come from Cairo’s satellite suburbs. Their lyrics talk about banalities of everyday life and revolution-weariness – in biting sarcasm and with a big sense of humor. Mahmoud Refat, owner of the Cairo underground label 100Copies, started working with Mahragan MCs Alaa 50 Cent and MC Sadat, brought them to the elite arts in downtown Cairo first, and now to Europe: DJs and blogger alike are fascinated by the radical Autotune-aesthetics of Mahragan. This episode of Sound Translations focuses on the many misunderstandings and frustrations these “sound translations” develop. It tells the story through Islam Chipsy, who himself is critical about the new hype, but has one big dream: «To have my own office, to have a passport, to travel abroad, and to develop my music.» Links: → Thomas Burkhalter: «The Yamaha PSR-700 à la Islam Chipsy» → Ted Swedenburg: «Electro Sha’abi: Autotune-Rebels in Cairo» → Mixtape by British Bass producer Mumdance → Thomas Burkhalter: «Alternative Musik in Kairo: Aufbruch & Verwirrung» Episode 4: Bounce, Queer Culture and Body Politics: Big Freedia, New Orleans https://norient.com/stories/soundtranslations Page 4 of 6 «Sound Translations» – Film Project | norient.com 29 Sep 2021 19:05:11 Bounce mixes energetic Afro-American rap with booty dances [«ass everywhere, ass everywhere»]. It started at the beginning of the 1990s in poor neighborhoods in New Orleans, and has become better known by now. Big Freedia Queen Diva is one of the most glamorous artists in the scene.

  • Elliott, 'This Is Our Grime'
    Elliott, ‘This Is Our Grime’ ‘This Is Our Grime’: Encounter, Strangeness and Translation as Responses to Lisbon’s Batida Scene Richard Elliott Text of paper presented at the IASPM UK & Ireland Biennial Conference (‘London Calling’, online edition), 19 May 2020. A video of the presentation is available at the conference website. Introduction [SLIDE – kuduro/batida in Portugal] Batida (meaning ‘beat’ in Portuguese) is used as a collective term for recent forms of electronic dance music associated with the Afrodiasporic DJs of Lisbon, first- or second-generation immigrants from Portugal’s former colonies (especially Angola, Guinea Bissau, Cabo Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe). Batida is influenced – and seen as an evolution of – the EDM musics emanating from these countries, especially the kuduro and tarraxinha music of Angola. Like kuduro, this is a sound that – while occasionally making references to older styles – is contemporary music created on digital audio workstations such as FL Studio.1 Recent years have produced extensive coverage of the batida scene in English language publications such as Vice/Thump, FACT, The Wire and Resident Advisor. In a global EDM scene still dominated by Anglo-American understandings of popular music, batida is often compared to Chicago footwork and grime (just as fado has often been compared to the blues). The translation is a two-way process, with musicians taking on the role of explaining their music through extra-cultural references. This paper uses these attempts at musical translation as a prompt to explore issues of strangeness and encounter in responses to batida, and to situate them in the broader context of discourse around global pop.

  • Alternate African Reality. Electronic, Electroacoustic and Experimental Music from Africa and the Diaspora
    Alternate African Reality, cover for the digital release by Cedrik Fermont, 2020. Alternate African Reality. Electronic, electroacoustic and experimental music from Africa and the diaspora. Introduction and critique. "Always use the word ‘Africa’ or ‘Darkness’ or ‘Safari’ in your title. Subtitles may include the words ‘Zanzibar’, ‘Masai’, ‘Zulu’, ‘Zambezi’, ‘Congo’, ‘Nile’, ‘Big’, ‘Sky’, ‘Shadow’, ‘Drum’, ‘Sun’ or ‘Bygone’. Also useful are words such as ‘Guerrillas’, ‘Timeless’, ‘Primordial’ and ‘Tribal’. Note that ‘People’ means Africans who are not black, while ‘The People’ means black Africans. Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress." – Binyavanga Wainaina (1971-2019). © Binyavanga Wainaina, 2005. Originally published in Granta 92, 2005. Photo taken in the streets of Maputo, Mozambique by Cedrik Fermont, 2018. "Africa – the dark continent of the tyrants, the beautiful girls, the bizarre rituals, the tropical fruits, the pygmies, the guns, the mercenaries, the tribal wars, the unusual diseases, the abject poverty, the sumptuous riches, the widespread executions, the praetorian colonialists, the exotic wildlife - and the music." (extract from the booklet of Extreme Music from Africa (Susan Lawly, 1997). Whether intended as prank, provocation or patronisation or, who knows, all of these at once, producer William Bennett's fake African compilation Extreme Music from Africa perfectly fits the African clichés that Binyavanga Wainaina described in his essay How To Write About Africa : the concept, the cover, the lame references, the stereotypical drawing made by Trevor Brown..

  • Shangaan Electro | Norient.Com 25 Sep 2021 12:53:55
    Shangaan Electro | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 12:53:55 Shangaan Electro by Thomas Burkhalter Die rasend schnellen Melodie-Pattern des neu entdeckten Stils «Shangaan Electro» aus Südafrika werden mit der «Minimal Music» von Steve Reich verglichen. Sie klingen aber ganz anders. «Shangaan Electro»: So nennt sich eine frisch entdeckte Musik aus Südafrika. Sie setzt auf verzwickte Melodien auf Marimba, Midi-Keyboard- Orgeln und Synthesizer, kurze repetitiven Gesangs-Samples (oft in Englisch), eher zurückhaltende Off-Beat-Rhythmen und Schlagzeug-Breaks. Das angeschlagende Tempo ist allerdings rasant: meistens um die 180 Beats pro Minute. Tänzer in clownesken Kostümen und Masken bewegen ihre Glieder dazu so, als hätten ihre Körper keine Knochen. Produziert wird «Shangaan Electro» von der Shangaan Bevölkerung (den Tsonga). Diese sind mehrheitlich aus dem südlichen Mozambique und aus der südafrikanischen Provinz Limpopo eingewandert und leben heute im Township von Soweto. Eine Reportage über die Szene gibt es auf dem Blog Nialler9. https://norient.com/blog/shangaanelectro Page 1 of 3 Shangaan Electro | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 12:53:55 Das Genre «Shangaan» existiert schon lange, allerdings als elektrische (und nicht elektronische) Musik. George Maluleke und seine Band gelten als Pioniere dieses Stils. Der Blog 27 Leggies: Bringing Tsonga Music to the Masses schreibt: «He is 52, born and bred in Bangwani Village near Malamule, and has (or had in 2006) four wives and 14 children. It presumably must be a struggle to support so many by music alone, as "he also has two mini-buses which he bought with the proceeds of his albums". Or maybe they are just for transporting the family down to the shops.» Hier zwei Stücke von George Malukele: «Nizondha Swiendlo» (2003) und «Tinhlolo» (2005): Ausserhalb von Soweto war «Shangaan Electro» lange weitgehend unbekannt.

However, over the last couple of years gentrification has swept through the city started by a movement of young creatives who are moving back to the centre of Johannesburg to live and work – proving that there is more to the city than meets the eye… This film is an interesting look at a city where young people from different cultural backgrounds are making it through a new wave of art, music and creativity.” – Connect / ZA “Two days that look more like a week… Joburg Party lasts just eight minutes.

Palabras clave: Shangaan electro, gqom, singeli, balani show, Príncipe, Bamako, Dar es-Salam, Durban, Lisboa. ABSTRACT The research addresses a number of electronic proposals from the second decade of the 21st Century that absorb a wide range of African genres. Keywords: Shangaan electro, gqom, singeli, balani show, Príncipe, Bamako, Dar es Salaam, Durban, Lisbon. 1 Este texto ha sido posible gracias a la Ayuda del S.E.C.T.I. (Sistema Extremeño de Ciencia y Tecnología e Innovación) al Grupo de Investigación de la Junta de Extremadura “Arte y Patrimonio Moderno y Contemporáneo (HUM012)”. 274 ALBERTO FLORES GALÁN En los primeros lustros del siglo XXI los universos del arte sonoro y la música de vanguardia han experimentado algunos cambios sensibles, cuando no revolucionarios. En lo que se refiere a la creación electrónica que hunde sus raíces (y cables)2 en la tradición del continente negro una asombrosa variedad de músicas electrónicas han surgido de toda África en los últimos quince años3. De entre esta enorme diversidad (que oscila entre el kuduro angoleño, el mahraganat egipcio o el viaje de ida y vuelta realizado por el hip-hop, que en cierto modo regresó a la tierra y a la tradición oral de los griots) el estudio analiza aquellas propuestas que han sido celebradas en ámbitos especializados en el análisis de la experimentación sónica.
