  • Constellation
    CONSTELLATION La critica musicale ha spesso identificato alcuni generi musicali con le città nelle quali si erano sviluppati, arrivando a far coincidere musica e toponomastica come nel caso del Canterbury sound o del Madchester. In realtà di solito si è trattato di un tentativo di semplificare la realtà per rendere intelligibili fenomeni la cui complessità sarebbe stata di difficile comprensione alla maggioranza dei lettori delle varie riviste del settore; basti pensare alla San Francisco psichedelica, al country di Nashville, all'elettronica berlinese, alla Seattle grunge o a Londra per il punk, ecc. Detto ciò, in pochi avrebbero immaginato che nel novero di queste “capitali” musicali sarebbe apparso il nome di Montreal, principale città del Quebec canadese. Eppure se dovessimo cercare una città con la quale identificare il post- rock degli anni Duemila non potremmo che guardare verso questa metropoli di più di un milione e mezzo di abitanti, se non altro per l’etichetta discografica indipendente Constellation records che vi ha sede. Nata nel 1997, la Constellation si è fin da subito caratterizzata per le “ostiche” scelte musicali e di marketing, dimostrando negli anni un'ammirevole coerenza che le ha permesso di intercettare le espressioni più avanzate e innovative del movimento post-rock canadese – ovvero il meglio del post-rock tout-court –, distinguendosi commercialmente dalle tante etichette indipendenti grazie a confezioni in digipack dominate da colori tenui e da un’originalità grafica e iconografica che diventa determinante nel trasmettere anche visivamente i contenuti musicali. Ma forse per comprendere il percorso qui proposto occorre partire dall’inizio, ovvero dalla definizione di Post-rock.

  • Neue Selbstverständlichkeiten
    # 2017/32 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2017/32/neue-selbstverstaendlichkeiten Constellation Records boykottiert Israel Neue Selbstverständlichkeiten Von Jonas Engelmann Auf Godspeed You! Black Emperor konnten sich viele Hörer einigen. Die Betreiber ihres Labels Constellation Records wollen den Export ihrer Platten nach Israel vermeiden. »Ich war den größten Teil meiner Punkrock-Jugend der einzige Jude im Raum«, sagte Efrim Menuck in ­einem Interview über die Gründung seiner Band A Silver Mt. Zion im Jahr 2000. Die Aufnahmen zum Debütalbum »He Has Left Us Alone, But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms … « empfand Menuck dagegen als eine »jüdische Erfahrung«; mit drei anderen jüdischen Musikern zu arbeiten habe ihn zum ersten Mal seine Isolation vergessen lassen. Im gleichen Jahr erschien auch das Album »Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven« seiner Hauptband God­speed You! Black Emperor, das trotz seiner Komplexität und Sperrigkeit in zahlreichen Jahresbesten­listen auf den vordersten Plätzen landete. Ästhetisch und politisch dem DIY-Punk-Gedanken verpflichtet, ließ sich die flächige Musik schwer einem Genre zuordnen, die Schublade Postpunk, in die sie häufig gesteckt wurde, war eigentlich zu klein. Felix Klopotek hat das Album als »Klagegesang auf die kulturindustrielle Domestizierung der Punkbewegung« beschrieben, und gerade die politischen Aspekte ihrer Musik hat die Band trotz fehlender Songtexte stets betont, durch Linernotes, Interviews und andere Verlautbarungen. Immer ging es um die Widersprüche des Kapitalismus, dem sich die Band trotz aller Mühe nicht vollständig entziehen konnte, und um politische Bezüge von Michail Bakunin über Emma Goldman bis zum Schwarzen Block. Allerdings war man darauf bedacht, das Prozesshafte und Unabgeschlossene, das auch der Musik innewohnte, zu betonen, Ambivalenzen und politische Differenzen auszuhalten.

  • Press Pack July 2010
    Press Pack July 2010 Lets Go Crazy Ltd. 78 Portland Road, Holland Park, W11 4LQ The Independent, 26th December 2009 Talent 2010: The entrepreneur, Callum Negus-Fancey Callum Negus-Fancey dropped out of school in the middle of his A-Levels. Formal education, he explains, was just a little two-dimensional. Rather than continuing his studies in economics, philosophy and politics, the head- strong 17-year-old decided to pursue his burgeoning career as an underage party promoter, putting on late- night music events for 14-16 year olds. “I’d put on a few parties while at school,” Callum explains, “and soon realised there was a demand for proper dance music nights for teenagers with big artist line-ups in big venues, with an emphasis on good music.” To this effect, Callum launched his own company Let’s Go Crazy, with an all-star event on July 2008, at London’s infamous SE1 club. Callum had no marketing budget for his party. Instead, having convinced some big name DJs to play at his event, the teenager set about promoting the club-night through social networking sites such as Facebook, and by word- of-mouth, enlisting students at a number of schools in the capital to sell tickets on commission basis. Within a week, all 3,000 tickets had been shifted. Since then, Callum has put on around 15 events at clubs and festivals around the country. He has continued to expand the Let’s Go Crazy brand with an online magazine, a discount loyalty card for night-club regulars, plans for a one-off fashion event, after GCSE travel packages, and secured gigs at Bestival, Camp Bestival next summer, and its own festival in Hyde Park, for 10,000 guests.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR)
    Written evidence submitted by the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR) Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Inquiry into the Impact of Covid-19 on DCMS Sectors 1. ABOUT STAR 1.1. STAR, the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, is the self-regulatory body for the ticket industry formed in 1997 by companies and organisations within the ticketing industry. Its membership encompasses ticket agents, ticketing system suppliers, arenas, sports bodies, promoters, producers, music venues, most West End theatres and many other theatres and venues in London and across the UK. STAR members subscribe to a Code of Practice covering standards of service and information and we estimate that our ticket agent members represent over 90% of that sector. STAR works to help resolve disputes between its members and ticket buyers and is approved by Government under the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015. (See list of members below) 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1. Ticketing is a key element of the delicate eco-system that supports the tremendous UK live entertainment and events industries as well as other significant sectors in the remit of the DCMS which have been devastated as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. 2.2. Ticket agents represent a significant proportion of ticket sales for UK events and are an important factor in the success of marketing shows and achieving successful ticket sales. They also play a significant role in helping build new audiences, creating innovation, developing technical resources, finding new distribution channels, marketing and advertising events to both domestic and overseas markets.
