Restrung New Chamber Festival: an Exploration of Contemporary String Practice Restrung New Chamber Festival: An Exploration of Contemporary String Practice Danielle Sarah Bentley BMus MCI School of Music and Sound Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Queensland University of Technology (2011) 1 Keywords New music, classical music, string music, hybrid arts, Brisbane, Queensland, festival, Restrung New Chamber Festival, creative industries, practice-led research 2 Abstract The Restrung New Chamber Festival was a practice-led research project which explored the intricacies of musical relationships. Specifically, it investigated the nature of contemporary string practice, with “New music” at its core. For the purposes of this project, “New music” will be defined in terms of representing a “global sonorous space” (Nancy 2007:12), which Hulse describes as “a spectacular comingling of styles and an unprecedented explosion of creative possibilities” (Hulse n.d.:2). Approaches to staging such an event are contextualised through a comparative analysis with relevant Australian and European festivals. The Restrung model derived inspiration from both art music and popular music festival models, in several aspects. One strategy was to engage audiences through combinations of musical, visual and spatial features. Another strategy was to encourage interaction by audiences with installations, workshops and forums. Restrung represents a new and distinctive model which presented art music within an immersive environment. This exegesis presents an evaluation framework which investigates the relationship between curatorial input and the experiential qualities of the festival. The context of an overview of trends in arts festival curation informs the discussion, as well as approaches to identifying new and receptive audiences. It is expected that the evaluation framework will provide a useful and practical guide for curators working in contemporary string practice, hybrid arts, experimental and cross-art form festival design. 3 Statement of Original Authorship The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

    RICE UNIVERSITY By tommy symmes A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE William B Parsons William B Parsons (Apr 21, 2021 11:48 PDT) William Parsons Jeffrey Kripal Jeffrey Kripal (Apr 21, 2021 13:45 CDT) Jeffrey Kripal James Faubion James Faubion (Apr 21, 2021 14:17 CDT) James Faubion HOUSTON, TEXAS April 2021 1 Abstract This dissertation studies dance music events in a field survey of writings, in field work with interviews, and in conversations between material of interest sourced from the writing and interviews. Conversations are arranged around six reading themes: events, ineffability, dancing, the materiality of sound, critique, and darkness. The field survey searches for these themes in histories, sociotheoretical studies, memoirs, musical nonfiction, and zines. The field work searches for these themes at six dance music event series in the Twin Cities: Warehouse 1, Freak Of The Week, House Proud, Techno Tuesday, Communion, and the Headspace Collective. The dissertation learns that conversations that take place at dance music events often reflect and engage with multiple of the same themes as conversations that take place in writings about dance music events. So this dissertation suggests that writings about dance music events would always do well to listen closely to what people at dance music events are already chatting about, because conversations about dance music events are also, often enough, conversations about things besides dance music events as well. 2 Acknowledgments Thanks to my dissertation committee for reading this dissertation and patiently indulging me in conversations about dance music events.

  • Styly Elektronické Taneční Hudby V Rámci České Scény
    JIHOČESKÁ UNIVERZITA V ČESKÝCH BUDĚJOVICÍCH Pedagogická fakulta Katedra hudební výchovy Styly elektronické taneční hudby v rámci české scény DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE Šárka Tomanová 5. ročník, ČJ-HV/ZŠ Vedoucí práce: Mgr. Martin Voříšek, Ph.D. 2012 Anotace Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na žánr elektronické taneční hudby a jeho další stylové rozdělení v rámci české hudební scény. Hlavní část historicky a hudebně vymezuje celkem sedm hlavních stylů ETH a člení je do podstylů, se kterými se posluchači můžou nejčastěji setkávat na domácích tanečních akcích. Dále popisuje vznik, vývoj a současný stav ETH u nás. Práce se orientuje také na zachycení odlišností mezi jednotlivými podstyly pomocí notace rytmických patternů a zvukových ukázek. Anotation This diploma thesis is focused on the topic of electronic dance music and its genre classification within Czech music scene. The main part of the thesis defines seven primary genres of EDM from the historical and musical perspective, and consequently it divides them into the subgenres that the audience can meet on the Czech dance floors most frequently. Moreover, the thesis describes the origin, evolution as well as the current situation of Czech EDM. The thesis also concerns with the differences among the subgenres by means of the drum pattern notation and sonic samples. Prohlášení: Prohlašuji, že jsem svoji diplomovou práci na téma Styly elektronické taneční hudby v rámci české scény vypracovala samostatně pouze s použitím literatury uvedené v seznamu citované literatury. Prohlašuji, že v souladu s § 47b zákona č. 111/1998 Sb. v platném znění souhlasím se zveřejněním své diplomové práce, a to v nezkrácené podobě – v úpravě vzniklé vypuštěním vyznačených částí archivovaných Pedagogickou fakultou elektronickou cestou ve veřejně přístupné části databáze STAG provozované Jihočeskou univerzitou v Českých Budějovicích na jejích internetových stránkách, a to se zachováním mého autorského práva k odevzdanému textu této kvalifikační práce.

  • Výroční Zpráva 2018
    Projekt Crossclub byl v roce 2018 podpořen částkou 2 000 000,- od MHMP, 150 000,- od MKČR a 15 000,- od MČP7. CROSSCLUB 2018 Chcete zažít pocit Berlína a nechce se vám jezdit tak daleko? Crossclub v Holešovicích vám to umožní… Klára Nemravová, zpěvačka (zdroj ReFlex) Crossclub je jedinečně koncipované multikulturní centrum, které nabízí skutečnou kříženinu kultur, žánrů a přístupů uprostřed pražských Holešovic. Za svojí jedenáctiletou existenci se nedělitelně zařadil mezi přední pražskou scénu, kde je utvářena velká část alternativní produkce. V současné době je zároveň odbornou i laickou veřejností vnímáno jako spoluurčující v rámci evropského alternativního kulturního dění. Základem dramaturgie je otevřenost různým uměleckým formám – divadlu, hudbě, výtvarnému umění – a jejich vzájemnému propojování. V rámci rozsáhlé mezinárodní spolupráce Crossclub systematicky prezentuje nejnovější trendy v alternativním umění a uvádí na své sceně desítky významných světových umělců, čímž se Crossclub stává důvodem návštěvy metropole i pro stále se zvyšující počet zahraničních turistů, kteří centrum vnímají jako místo reprezentující kreativitu Prahy a České republiky. Neformální prostředí s naprosto unikátním designem obohacuje nabídku společenského a kulturního života v centru Prahy. Program je určený převážně pro mladší a střední generaci, nicméně některé pořady jsou připravované pro děti, mládež, nebo zahraniční návštěvníky Prahy. I díky širokému spektru návštěvníků i různorodé dramaturgii narůstá publicita v domácím tisku, rozhlasu, na webových portálech. Mediální ohlasy zaznamenává multikulturní centrum Cross stále častěji také v zahraničí. Obsah projektu Crossclub 2018 byl souhrnem dílčích dramaturgických bloků, které se vzájemně prolínaly v různých komponovaných a žánrově přesahových projektech mezinárodního významu. Celkem se v Crossu představilo 886 dramaturgických celků, které se konaly na horní stagei, spodní stagei, půdě klubu Cross, kavárně klubu Cross.

  • Making a Difference: Techno-Punk and Terra-Ism
    Making a Noise – Making a Difference: Techno-Punk and Terra-ism GRAHAM ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract This article charts the convergence of post-punk/post-settler logics in the techno-punk development in Australia. Exploring how punk would become implicated in the cultural politics of a settler society struggling for legitimacy, it maps the ground out of which Labrats sound system (and their hybrid outfit Combat Wombat) arose. It provides an entry to punk through an analysis of the concept of hardcore in the context of cultural mobilisations which, following more than two centuries of European colonisation, evince desires to make reparations and forge alliances with Indigenous people and landscape. To achieve this, the article traces the contours and investigates the implications of Sydney’s techno-punk emergence (as seen in The Jellyheads, Non Bossy Posse, Vibe Tribe and Ohms not Bombs), tracking the mobile and media savvy exploits of 1990s DIY sound systems and techno terra-ists, aesthetes and activists adopting intimate and tactical media technologies, committing to independent and decentralised EDM creativity, and implicated in a movement for legitimate presence. Keywords techno, anarcho-punk, hardcore, sound systems, postcolonialism, Sydney techno-punk scene Figure 1: Outback Stack.
