  • Pressrelease Oohlalla 2009
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OohLaLA FESTIVAL BRIDGES LOS ANGELES TO FRANCE; THREE-DAY FRENCH MUSIC SHOWCASE BEGINS SEPTEMBER 23 LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2009 — The OohLaLA Festival is bringing a bit of la France to L.A. this fall and no passport is required. The first edition of the three-day French music showcase will take over the Henry Fonda Theatre, September 23-25. This cultural import is the brainchild of French music industry veterans and will be presented/executive produced by Southern California concert promoter Goldenvoice. Tickets will be available via Ticketmaster and go on sale Saturday, August 1st at 10am. Spanning three nights, the festival will bridge two continents, highlighting the current French music scene in the U.S. with a series of performances running the gamut from hard-hitting electro to more traditional fare. September 23 and 24 will be devoted exclusively to emerging talent from the indie pop/rock and folk scenes, including performances from dance-pop provocateur Sébastien Tellier, whose latest album, Sexuality, was produced by Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo; piano aficionado Gonzales, the multi-faceted virtuoso, who is equal parts powerful crooner and hip-hop singer, as well as Grammy-nominated arranger/producer for Feist,; and Cocoon, a male/female folk duet from the Auvergne mountains, whose music echoes American folk greats such as Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens. Night number two will belong to the radical, loungey reinterpretations of Nouvelle Vague, as the collective led by producer Marc Collin presents “Hollywood Mon Amour,” a tribute to 1980s film soundtracks. The band will put their spin on such classics as “Eye of the Tiger”, “Flashdance…What A Feeling” and James Bond’s “A View To A Kill.” The Dø, a Finnish girl/French boy duo with panoramic cultures and 2008 sensation in France, will kick off the evening alongside electro-pop chanteuse Emilie Simon, a multi-French Music Award winner and composer of the “March of the Penguins” soundtrack, now based in New York.

Wiederkehr Master of Arts School of Music and Dance September 2015 Title: The Role of Music Theory in Music Production and Engineering Due to technological advancements, the role of the musician has changed dramatically in the 20 th and 21 st centuries. For the composer or songwriter especially, it is becoming increasingly expected for them to have some familiarity with music production and engineering, so that they are able to provide a finished product to employers, clients, or listeners. One goal of a successful production or engineered recording is to most effectively portray the recorded material. Music theory, and specifically analysis, has the ability to reveal important or expressive characteristics in a musical work.
