As I was writing and developing the material, the spirit holding all these disparate elements together just left me. Sylvian shows everybody that silence may become an integral part of music towards nonsense, or the recovery of existential nudity. Czukay had attempted to capture the process of creation without a musician's inclination for refinement. As youngsters they played music as a means of escape, playing Sylvian's two-chord numbers — sometimes with Karn as the front man, sometimes with Sylvian at the fore.

It was conceived by a former jazz and rock drummer whose work was orientated towards — and whose heart leaned towards — a universal or cosmological grounding of musical phenomena, and music as a tool in enlightenment and spirituality. Once recorded, I'd listen back and use cues from the improv—the dynamic and so on—to dictate the structure of the piece. The band Japan , whose other members included bassist Mick Karn, guitarist Rob Dean , keyboardist Richard Barbieri and Sylvian's brother Steve as drummer, began as a group of friends. Sylvian left Virgin Records and launched his own independent label, Samadhi Sound.

  • Live Among the White Trash: a History of Nono----Manman on Stage
    Live Among the White Trash: A history of nono----manman on stage “There are no No-Man concerts scheduled for the foreseeable future.” (from the official no-man website) Anyone who has followed no-man’s career over the previous ten years or so will be acutely aware that the band does not play live. If no-man “exist” as a band at all – and their infrequent releases mean they are more an ongoing understanding between two men rather than an active unit – it is only in the studio. Over a series of uncompromising albums no-man’s music has become ever more complex, yet ironically, “live sounding” than the release which proceeded it. But this organic “liveness” is mainly an illusion; the feeling of spontaneity often the result of numerous edits and takes which only the precision of studio work can produce. Others have tried to perform equally difficult music live: Radiohead ambitiously thrusting their clicks-and- cuts post-rock upon the world’s stadiums, for example. But for a variety of reasons, no-man simply haven’t tried – at least, not since 1994 and not until a one-off performance in 2006. The only comparable case is Talk Talk’s retreat into the studio in the late 1980s. Both bands have undoubtedly crafted their best work without going near an audience. 1 But it wasn’t always so. no-man were once very much a live act, promoting singles and albums with dates and undertaking two full-blown tours – though they rarely played outside London, never went further north than Newcastle, and never played outside Great Britain.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 12 AUGUST 1ST, 2016 August 1, 2016 Up the Ladder INCOMING LETTERS Written by Paul McGowan I am responding to the recent article on DACs and the quick brush-off of ladder DACs. (Richard Murison’s “My Kingdom for a DAC”, Richard didn’t brush off ladder DACs so much as say that they were damned hard to build properly --Ed.) There are several R2R or ladder DACs on the market and in my opinion and that of many others they are far superior to any delta-sigma DAC on the market. The best example is the Audio-GD Master 7 dac. Also, the great Audio Note DACs are ladder DACs. These DACs have a musicallity that delta- sigma DACs dream about. Delta-sigma dacs are used mostly because R2R chips are simply too difficult and expensive to make.The old R2R chips are expensive, hard to find and no longer in production. I believe Mytek is making an R2R chip and Audio Note has one in development. Did a recent comparison of my Master 7 with a friend’s DCS stack and even he thought the Master 7 was better. The DCS is 10 times the price. Yes, a ladder DAC will not do DSD, but for me that is no great loss. Alan Hendler Doesn't Like Tchaikovsky Either Three cheers for Mr. Schenbeck. He writes concisely and entertainingly and, with his adroit embedding of musical examples, uses the electronic magazine format as it should be used. I look forward to each of his contributions. Never much liked Tchaikovsky either.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Echo's End Reference, Upgraded from Firewall 64X Technology to Firewall 640X Technology]
    Discrete Precision Resistor R-2R Ladder DAC Date Added: 08/24/2021 by Jörg from Dortmund, Germany [Echo's End Reference, upgraded from Firewall 64x technology to Firewall 640x technology] When I installed the DAC during the week I hadn’t too much time to take a listen during the week. As I’m very familiar with the Sound of the Reference DAC over the years, I’m pretty sure to remember how it sounds, especially with extremely familiar discs. Some might say, that this is difficult without direct comparison of the DAC with the older incarnation of Firewall modules to the one that is equipped with the actual new Firewall modules, it is new, you want it to sound better, but that might only belong to your imagination. And that might be the case with other gear, tweaks, cabling, whatever, when the difference in sound is very small. You wish it to be, but you can’t be sure. Now I listened to my most familiar discs again, and the difference is not subtle, it is simply astounding! Never would i have thought of such a big improvement, coming with the replacement of the older Firewall modules. Everything is brought out better, acoustic instruments sound incredibly natural and real. Everything has more depth and contour. It simply sounds more energetic and precise. The reverberation of voices and decaying instruments lingers longer than before. Basses are more profound. And again, I’m hearing a cornucopia of details that were previously imperceptible. And with excellent sounding discs, my room is flooded with sound, I have the feeling I’m bathing in it.

Blir oppdaget av den senere så beryktede manageren Simon Napier-Bell (Wham m.m.). Gir ut to lite vellykkede glam-rock-pregede album, men tittelkuttet på tredjeplata «Quiet Life» (1979) peker mot noe mer sofistikert og særpreget. 80-TALLET Med platene «Gentlemen Take Polaroids» (1980) og «Tin Drum» (1981) utvikler Japan en egenartet asia- tiskinspirert sound, og får en hit med den minimalis- tiske balladen «Ghosts». Oppløses i 1982 etter mye intern krangel. Sylvian begynner å samarbeide med eksperimentelle musikere som Riuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp (King Crimson) og Holger Czukay (Can). Gir ut sitt første soloalbum «Brilliant Trees» (1984), følger opp med doble «Gone To Earth» (1986) og «Secrets Of The Beehive» (1987), som alle har status som kultklassikere. Jobber også innen teater, foto- kunst og dans. 90-TALLET Japan gjenforenes under navnet Rain Tree Crow, lager et halvbra album og oppløses igjen. Sylvian flytter til USA og gifter seg med Prince-protesje- en Ingrid Chavez. Lager en del instrumental ambient- musikk, gjenopptar sam- arbeidet med Robert Fripp på duoalbumene «The First Day» (1993) og FOTO: KEVIN WESTERBERG/DOT «Redemption» (1994), som ikke hører til hans sterkeste.

A ta slova byla Sun Ra. O něm jsem místopřísežně v nejrůznějších médiích slíbil, že ve druhém dílu napíšu stěžejní článek, a vrátilo se mi to jako bumerang. Toho jsem tedy dosáhl, i když by si tento zcela zásadní muzikant zasloužil celou knihu o několika tisících stránek. Přesto studium jeho odkazu pro mě znamenalo otevření dalších dimenzí pro další bádání a pochopení zcela nových věcí. Řada textů vznikla díky možnosti navštívit některé věhlasné světové festivaly, které se věnují alternativní hudbě a neberou ji jako okrajovou záležitost, ale šanci pro poznávání současných trendů. Byla to příležitost blíže poznat řadu umělců a v neposlední řadě pochopit fakt, že takzvaná „alternativa“ je otevřena každé vstřícné duši. A věřte, že na tyto akce v Rakousku či Francii chodí číratí punkáči i zasloužilí důchodci v oblecích a vytváří společnou komunitu lidí, kteří v jakémkoliv věku hledají nové impulsy a mají mnoho společného - totiž právě ono hledání. Tímto bych chtěl poděkovat jejich organizátorům. Opět se čtenáři i kritici budou ptát, proč zde to a tohle zrovna chybí, i když je to trendy nebo klasika nos plus ultra, a proč jsou zde zastoupeni relativně marginální muzikanti či soubory a proč zde relativně malý prostor dostala tentokrát domácí scéna.

[pp.3-4] Listening to Sachiko M 12,000 words (count' em) – a lengthy, and no-doubt futile attempt to get to grips with some of the recordings of empty-sampler player (or, in her own words, 'non-musician'), Sachiko M, including interminable ramblings on such albums as 'Bar Sachiko,' 'Filament 1', and 'Tears'. By David Grundy. [pp.5-26] The Drop at the Foot of the Ladder: Musical Ends and Meanings of Performances I Haven't Been To, Fluxus and Today 11,000 words (count 'em), covering the delicate and indelicate negotiations between music and performance, audience and performer, art and non-art, that take place in the 1960s works of Fluxus and their distant inheritors, Mattin and Taku Unami. By Lutz Eitel. [pp.27-52] Feature: Live in Seattle Two solo takes and a duo relating to Coltrane's 1965 recording, made at the breaking point of his 'Classic Quartet', poised between old and new, music that pushes at the limits and drops back only to push again with furious persistence. By David Grundy and Sean Bonney. [pp.53-74] Interview: The Rent To call The Rent a Steve Lacy 'tribute band' would be to do them an immense disservice, though their repertoire consists mainly of Lacy compositions.

  • The Claudia Quintet September
    HotThe Box Critics John McDonough John Corbett Jim Macnie Paul de Barros René Marie I Wanna Be Evil Swing Fever ½ ½ Grand Masters Of Jazz The Claudia Quintet September Randy Brecker ½ ½ Brecker Brothers Band Reunion Critics’ Comments René Marie, I Wanna Be Evil: With Love To Eartha Kitt Swinging, soulful vocalist René Marie has great control and range but has had difficulty defining her territory. Oddly, this tribute album to Eartha Kitt has sparked some originality. Her clever, funky arrangement (in three) of “Let’s Do It,” a sexy “Santa Baby” and her daringly transgressive original “Weekend” add punch. The earnest Marie is more seduced by Kitt’s theatrical “earthiness” than by her winking kitsch. —Paul de Barros The Eartha Kitt songbook gives this excellent singer a superb array of material (from Dave Frishberg to Cole Porter) in which to show her winking, sinewy stuff. The East Side cleverness and sophistication tilt toward cabaret, but Wycliffe Gordon bridges the gap with humor and a few strange sounds. —John McDonough Successful transfusion of Eartha Kitt’s red-blooded, raw sex and exotica, purred and snarled as a steely story of determination and triumph. Marie throws a few of her own curves into the mix, but plays it rather close to the source. —John Corbett Swing Fever, Grand Masters Of Jazz Obviously prepared with love and admiration for the swing-pins. Memorable flashes from Clark Terry and Jackie Ryan, and DeFranco’s got such a huge presence, but much of the disc and two freebie DVDs falls short of being extraordinary. —John Corbett Love the idea of the locals hosting the heroes, especially when the locals kick it with so much verve.
