Click Here ROBERT QUINE RIP Underground guitarist Robert Quine, who recorded with Lou Reed, Marianne Faithfull and Tom Waits, was found dead in Manhatten last week, aged 61. He died of a heroin overdose following the recent death of his wife. Quine, a Velvet Underground fan who recorded the band in 1969, which lead to the release of a three-CD box called 'The Bootleg Series Volume 1: The Quine Tapes', played on Richard Hell and the Voidoids' 'Blank Generation', as well as Reed's 'The Blue Mask' album. "Robert Quine was a magnificent guitar player -- an original and innovative tyro of the vintage beast," Reed said in a statement released to Billboard.com. "He was an extraordinary mixture of taste, intelligence and rock'n'roll abilities coupled with major technique and a scholar's memory for every decent guitar lick ever played under the musical son. He made tapes for me for which I am eternally grateful -- tapes of the juiciest parts of solos from players long gone. Quine was smarter than them all. And the proof is in the recordings, some of which happily are mine. If you can find more interesting sounds and musical clusters than Quine on 'Waves of Fear' [from Reed's 1982 album "The Blue Mask"], well, it's probably something else by Robert."

    Page 1 of 1 Robert Quine (Filed: 14/06/2004) Robert Quine, who has died aged 61, was acknowledged to be one of the most original and formidably talented guitarists in rock music; a founder member of American punk band The Voidoids, he later worked with Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Lloyd Cole and Brian Eno. At first glance, Bob Quine appeared an unlikely punk. A nephew of the philosopher W V Quine, he was a tax lawyer until his mid-thirties, by which time he was already nearly bald. Even at the height of his success, he took to the stage in a well-ironed shirt and black sports jacket, his only concession to attitude being the wearing of sunglasses. Equally out of keeping with punk's ethos was his command of his instrument, from which he produced an intense, aggressive, dissonant sound. Lou Reed acclaimed him as "a magnificent guitar player . an innovative tyro of the vintage beast". His skills are best preserved on Blank Generation, the album he recorded with Richard Hell in 1977. Having renounced the law, he was then working in a Greenwich Village bookshop with Hell and Tom Verlaine, both members of the proto-punk group Television. Hell, having fallen out with Verlaine and later with Johnny Thunders of The Heartbreakers, which he had gone on to join, put together a new band with Quine, Ivan Julian and Marc Bell (later of The Ramones) - The Voidoids. Quine coaxed suitably angry sounds from his Stratocaster to frame Hell's nihilistic yet purposeful lyrics, and the LP - especially its title track - became an underground success.

  • Robert Quine Interview- Perfect Sound Forever
    Robert Quine interview- Perfect Sound Forever http://www.furious.com/perfect/quine.html ROBERT QUINE Interview by Jason Gross (November 1997) Who is Robert Quine? According to him, he 'remains one of the most compelling, appalling and universally hated figures in music history.' If you think that's a little too generous, Kenneth Coleman has written his own tribute to Quine. Let me just say that I don't see how you can just say that Quine is a sideman or collaborator who happened to work with Richard Hell, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Matthew Sweet and others- he's been an important part of their music, critically shaping it. Since most of his work has been working with these better-known performers, he hasn't become a household name himself. His guitar playing is certainly distinctive enough to warrant this but the fact is that he technically has only two albums to his name (both collaborations). Even so, anyone familiar with his work is rabid about him as I found out when I asked around to drill up some support for this interview. Any old session man can play the right notes in time but Quine just plain TEARS IT UP and takes no prisoners. You KNOW when he plays a solo. How about calilng him a guitarist's guitarist? You get the picture. Enormous thanks go out to Phillip Bull, Scott Russell, Christopher Hamilton, Michael Piper and ESPECIALLY JIM DEROGATIS AND ALICE SHERMAN! JUNE 2004: Old friend Jim Marshall reports to us that Quine took his own life.

  • Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
    Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

Entertainment Weekly. This is far from a rock hagiography. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. There's also a fairly comprehensive discography at the back, though strangely especially since a sizeable part of the book deals with the Velvets records it starts with a compilation. While I was certainly impatient, as per usual with music bios, to be finished with Lou Reed , DeCurtis, an editor and long-time contributor at Rolling Stone , is a more fluent and perceptive critic than many biographers and his observations provided a way in, for me, to some of Reed's more challenging work reading about music is so much more satisfying in the YouTube Age - I used to read about a record and then, sometimes, have to wait months or even years before actually hearing it.

  • Freier Download BA 44 Jazz Als
    BAD ALCHEMY 44 MC 1 2 NEW CONCEPTIONS OF JAZZ ? Wenn ich mir klar gemacht hätte, dass der Personenkreis der zwischen 14- und 24-Jährigen nur ca. 12% meiner deutschen Zeitgenossen ausmacht (sich in der Kriminalstatistik aber mit über 30% breit macht!), hätte ich mir von dieser vorlauten Minderheit nicht so lange die Sonne verstellen zu lassen. Sollen sie sich doch um ihre poppigen Spielsachen prügeln, BA als ein sich an Alle richtendes Organ braucht den dafür entsprechend weiten Horizont. Für Rock bin ich aber noch zu jung, für Pop und Club- Electro zu alt, für's Allerlei aus Aller-Welt zu bodenständig, für Klassik zu sehr Prolet, bleibt eigentlich nur >Jazz (und anderes)< als Musik für mich und meinesgleichen. Aber ist der >Jazz< von heute, vom gehypeten Hochglanz- bis zum Wasch-mich-aber-mach-mich-nicht-nass-Indie-Dschäss, nicht auch bloß ein polystilistisches Wiederkäuen des Dagewesenen, ein entropisches Schnorren vom Abraum der Jazz- Histoire, ein Refugium für Schmocks? Nur noch Acid und Latin und Fusion und Salsa nach Anything-goes- Rezepten, Jazz goes House, Jazz meets Klezmer, Imaginary Balkan, mystifiziertes Mittelalter? 'Nu' & 'Nova', war das auch mal etwas anderes als ein marktschreierisches Etikett aus der Medienhuren- und Raffbranche, die ihre auf 'now' geschminkten alten Zauseleien auf den globalen Basars zu verhökern versucht? Wie schrieb einst Rolf Niemczyk so schön: "Aus der großen Hexenküche der Popmusik ent- steht mal wieder etwas NEUES. Wie NEU, darüber muß/kann gestritten werden." (Spex 5/89) Wo verbirgt sich nun das Unerhörte mit einer Halbwertzeit, die eine Modesaison überdauert? Wo finde ich Zeitgemäßes, gar Zukunftsweisendes in einer Musik, die ihre besten Tage vor dem 'New Thing' der 60er hatte, wie die Traditionalisten diktieren.

    1 2 PRÉSENTATION DU CONFÉRENCIER François-Xavier Féron est musicologue, titulaire d’un master en acoustique musicale (Paris VI- IRCAM) et d’un doctorat en musicologie (Paris IV). Après avoir enseigné à l’université de Nantes, il a travaillé successivement, en tant que chercheur postdoctoral, au CIRMMT (Université McGill, Montréal) et dans l’équipe Analyse des Pratiques Musicales à l’IRCAM (Paris). En 2013, il intègre le CNRS et rejoint le LaBRI/SCRIME (Université de Bordeaux). Ses recherches se concentrent sur les pratiques musicales aux XXème et XXIème siècles et plus spécifiquement sur l’impact des recherches en acoustique sur les processus de création artistique. Il a dirigé le numéro de la revue Circuit : musiques contemporainesconsacré à John Zorn et à son label (Tzadik : l'esthétique discographique selon John Zorn, paru en 2015) 3 JOHN ZORN Né à New York en 1953, John Zorn se passionne dès l'enfance pour toutes sortes de musiques, via la radio et les disques de son père. Il apprend le piano et la guitare en autodidacte et entre en 1967 à la United Nations International School de Manhattan, où il commence à étudier la composition, études poursuivies à la Webster University de Saint Louis (Missouri). S'il s'intéresse aux travaux de John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luigi Nono, il demeure un auditeur d'une insatiable curiosité. Jacques Coursil, qui fut son professeur, dit de lui : "Les musiques, il les a toutes entendues : Zorn a le monde entier dans la tête et il est libre."* C'est également un passionné de cinéma qui envisage un temps une carrière de réalisateur.
