Prince Puts out on His Latest Vinyl Newest Halen Musically Tasty
Page 4, SIDELINES, Wednesday, June 8, 1988 Jlii v.«S;;;:i¥i¥' & :>>*:■• 3S Newest Halen musically tasty By DAVE CHANDLER Entertainment Writer Well kids, it's finally here, the long-awaited new album by Van Hagar, Van Hefflen, I mean Van Halen. What a catchy little tide it has, OU812, pretty clever huh? OU812 is the eigth Van Halen album or second one A.D. (after Dave). The bottom line to this album is thet it rocks. What is so great about OU812 is that it is not packed with the commercialism found in most of today's hard rock i albums. Now don't get me wrong, because it does include songs that will obviously be major hits. One track in particular, "When It's Love," is destined to be a Top 10 mainstay, but none of that Van Halen style was lost while producing the song. And if you're looking for the 90 m.p.h. speedbumers that the grovp is famous for, you'll also find them here. Two such songs are "Source of Infection" and "Sucker In A 3 Piece." These are sure to get your feet a tappin' or your head a bangin', whatever your preference may be. As usual there are the incredible guitar heroics of Eddie Van Halen and the band's great harmonies in the backup vocals. These are epitomized in the first single from the Wayne Cartwright+Staff album, "Black and Blue," which, incidentally, gets my vote Pleasing the crowd at Fan Fair... for the dirtiest song on the airwaves at the present time.

Jacopo Costa Prince in the early 80s: considerations on the structural functions of performative gestures. Transcribing Prince's music can be a very frustrating exercise, as the notes that are put on a score (often quite ordinary) do no justice to the expressive richness we perceive when we listen to his songs. In my intervention, I will propose an analysis of the performative gestures in Prince's music, focusing on a few excerpts from his production of the years 1980-1984 (in terms of albums, from Dirty Mind to Purple Rain). The hypothesis to be tested is that in Prince's music a certain gestural approach to the performance (both instrumental and vocal) has an authentic structural function for the music: in other words, this gestural approach is not simply related to the field of musical interpretation, but has a constitutive function at the formal level of composition.

V O O R W O O R D
V O O R W O O R D Bij de eerste tonen van een liedje, wordt de luisteraar meegenomen naar het moment dat juist dit liedje impact maakte, dan wel hoop of troost gaf. Dat is de magie van muziek. Zodra muziek eenmaal in de wereld is losgelaten, is het niet meer alleen van de maker zelf. Het wordt van iedereen die de liedjes vol herinneringen stopt, als waren het tijdcapsules. Zo staat mij helder voor de geest dat ik Around The World In A Day voor het eerst hoorde. Een cruciaal moment in mijn leven; het moment dat ik begon te besefen dat op die mooie grote lp’s interessantere muziek stond dan je op de radio hoorde. Hoewel ik het werk als jong ventje niet goed snapte of überhaupt op waarde kon schatten, raakte ik geïntrigeerd. Nog steeds brengen de eerste tonen van de titeltrack me terug naar dat eerste moment. “Open your heart, open your mind, a train is leaving all day...” Voor mij letterlijk de start van een wonderlijke reis die het leven is. Een reis waarin het werk van Prince een cruciale rol speelt en waarin ontelbare herinneringen aan evenzo ontelbare liedjes kleven. Het ene moment sta ik weer in de stromende regen bij mijn allereerste popconcert, met een door alle vocht volledig aan elkaar geplakt tourboek onder mijn shirt. Het volgende ben ik voor het eerst in mijn leven alleen in het buitenland op zoek naar een concertzaal. Vele jaren later zit ik naast mijn lief in Ahoy’, terwijl het door mij aan haar beloofde muzikale spektakel uitblijft.

Prince Talks and with the Release of 'Graffiti Bridge,' the Soundtrack to His Forthcoming Movie Musical, the Critics Are Listening
Prince Talks And with the release of 'Graffiti Bridge,' the soundtrack to his forthcoming movie musical, the critics are listening. But don't even try to take notes. Prince performing at Wembley, London, August 22nd, 1990. Graham Wiltshire/Hulton Archive/Getty By Neal Karlen October 18, 1990 The phone rings at 4:48 in the morning. "Hi, it's Prince," says the wide-awake voice calling from a room several yards down the hallway of this London hotel. "Did I wake you up?" Though it's assumed that Prince does in fact sleep, no one on his summer European Nude Tour can pinpoint precisely when. Prince seems to relish the aura of night stalker; his vampire hours have been a part of his mad-genius myth ever since he was waging junior-high-school band battles on Minneapolis's mostly black North Side. "Anyone who was around back then knew what was happening," Prince had said two days earlier, reminiscing. "I was working. When they were sleeping, I was jamming. When they woke up, I had another groove. I'm as insane that way now as I was back then." For proof, he'd produced a crinkled dime-store notebook that he carries with him like Linus's blanket. Empty when his tour started in May, the book is nearly full, with twenty-one new songs scripted in perfect grammar-school penmanship. He has also been laboring on the road over his movie musical Graffiti Bridge, which was supposed to be out this past summer and is now set for release in November.

Two Conceptions of Consciousness and Why Only the Neo-Aristotelian One Enables Us to Construct Evolutionary Explanations ✉ Harry Smit1 & Peter Hacker2
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00591-y OPEN Two conceptions of consciousness and why only the neo-Aristotelian one enables us to construct evolutionary explanations ✉ Harry Smit1 & Peter Hacker2 Descartes separated the physical from the mental realm and presupposed a causal relation between conscious experience and neural processes. He denominated conscious experiences 1234567890():,; ‘thoughts’ and held them to be indubitable. However, the question of how we can bridge the gap between subjective experience and neural activity remained unanswered, and attempts to integrate the Cartesian conception with evolutionary theory has not resulted in explana- tions and testable hypotheses. It is argued that the alternative neo-Aristotelian conception of the mind as the capacities of intellect and will resolves these problems. We discuss how the neo-Aristotelian conception, extended with the notion that organisms are open thermo- dynamic systems that have acquired heredity, can be integrated with evolutionary theory, and elaborate how we can explain four different forms of consciousness in evolutionary terms. 1 Department of Cognitive Neuroscience, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, P.O.

A Brief History of the NPG and "Celebrating Prince" in a Late-1990
A Brief History of the NPG and "Celebrating Prince" In a late-1990 press release drafted in his own handwriting, Prince wrote that his new band, the New Power Generation was his "best band ever.” Those who followed him knew that he was always pushing himself and experimenting with new sounds and the musical chemistry of working with new musicians was a part of that process. This new band took him down a new path - one that was soulful, electrifying and funky! For Prince, the term New Power Generation seemed to have a deeper meaning than merely what he called his new band. In fact, before giving the name to his band, he wrote the phrase, “Welcome to the New Power Generation" for the opening track of 1988’s Lovesexy. Although he had parted ways with The Revolution in 1986, The NPG was not formally introduced as his new backing band until the summer of 1990 when most of the members made their live debut on the Nude Tour. In fact, the NPG was also the name of his band in the film, Graffiti Bridge, which included the song, “New Power Generation” on the accompanying soundtrack album. “Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor. Making love and music’s the only things worth fighting 4. We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world. The only thing that’s in our way is u. Your old fashioned music, your old ideas, We’re sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.

An Analysis of the Influence of Prince on Music Marketing OUTSTANDING PAPER – Arts, Music & Entertainment
A Royal Revolution: An analysis of the influence of Prince on music marketing OUTSTANDING PAPER – Arts, Music & Entertainment Deirdre T. Guion Peoples, [email protected] Introduction “Albums — remember those? Albums still matter. Albums, like books and black lives, still matter." These are the opening words for the presentation of album of the year at the 57th annual Grammy Awards for what we now know was one of the last television appearances of Prince (Gajewski and Lee 2015). Embodied in that one line is the culmination of a careers’-long battle for acknowledgement, acceptance, and control by an entertainer who refused to play by the rules of the recording industry. Prince figured out early in his career that the link between a musician and their audience was marketing. Marketing that typically was developed and controlled by the record label and not the musician. This study uses the culture production system (CPS) to explore how the musical artist Prince launched a revolution against the marketing practices of the music industry while capitalizing on some of those same practices to craft his image and propel his career. Along the way Prince paved a path for future artists to better maintain control of their artistic output. In exchange for fronting all of the production, distribution and marketing expenses of a musician’s recordings, the record labels also retained ownership of those recordings in accordance with the “work for hire” provision of the Copyright Act of 1976. This long-standing industry practice to include ownership of songs as a part of a recording contract has been a point of contention for several musicians (Sisario 2016).
