  • Everything Everything - a Fever Dream
    Everything Everything - A Fever Dream Across three albums, immense acclaim and intense adoration, the sound of Everything Everything has remained a volatile beast; a musical bucking bronco, their albums maximalist, frenetic, art-pop juxtapositions of R’n’B and melancholia and Afrobeat, of synths, guitars, falsetto. Critics have written of the frenzy of it, of the sheer sublime sweet sensory overload of it all. Their fourth album, A Fever Dream, is a quite different prospect: a calibration of chaos and control, the result of a curious desire for consistency. As guitarist Alex Robertshaw puts it: “Our records have been many styles rubbing up against each other, and for the first time I wanted to make a record that was cohesive sonically.” Midway through touring 2015’s Get To Heaven, Robertshaw found himself listening increasingly to the kind of electronic music he had loved as a teenager — early Warp Records releases, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada, relishing “the atmosphere and the attitude” of them. “I wanted to go back to that thing that first made me excited about music,” he says. “We’ve spent a lot of time going into that R’n’B and hip hop world — for an indie band it was a bit of an untouchable thing, and it was really fun to do and I think we captured it at its best with Kemosabe and Arc. But once you start doing that you kind of separate yourself.” Contemplating a fourth album, and after an extensive run of touring, Robertshaw felt a need to reconnect with the sounds that had first thrilled him and inspired him to begin making music.

With the Fund’s growing catalogue of success stories, the study was needed to measure the financial and artistic impacts ISF has had on the careers of UK artists and the return it has generated for the UK’s music industry. We reviewed the funding data and business cases of all ISF beneficiaries over the last three years, and working with PRS for Music Foundation and statistician Paul Foss, assessed the qualitative and quantitative impacts of the Fund within this specific time period. After gathering further data and information on ISF beneficiaries, we interviewed six artists and their managers to acquire a nuanced understanding of each of their experiences and the subsequent impact it had on their career. 2 ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHOWCASE FUND In 2006, PRS for Music Foundation (PRSF) costs for travel, accommodation, visas established the International Showcase Fund and per diems (up to £5,000).

  • Global Politics and (Trans) National Arts: Staging the “War on Terror” In
    Global Politics and (Trans)National Arts: Staging the “War on Terror” in New York, London, and Cairo A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English of the College of Arts and Sciences by George Potter M.A. Indiana State University May 2005 Committee Chair: Jana Braziel, Ph.D. Abstract In the post-9/11 era, over a hundred theatric performances exploring the fallout from the “war on terror” have been staged in Cairo, London, and New York. Though never discussed in relation to one another, the works from major cultural centers on three continents provide valuable insights into how people from three cultures have responded to the wars and political policies since 9/11, as well as how they have attempted to form their resistance to those policies. To explore this, my study begins with a historiography of “terrorism,” exploring the term’s roots in the French Revolution as a means by which to discuss state violence, a use that was standard throughout the nineteenth century. However, during the twentieth century, as the nation-state became the normative structure for political organization, resistance to it— “subnationals,” as they would come to be called in State Department parlance—were redefined as “terrorist.” Therefore, the construction of the United Nations, the development of human rights discourse, and the codification of terrorism laws occurred within the same era of organizing (un)acceptable political behavior. The next three chapters of the dissertation then undertake examining theatric works within each of the nations under consideration alone.
