Konzerte, die mich interessieren, verbinden verschiedene As pekte der experimentellen elektronischen und populären Musik und ziehen ein gemischtes Publikum an. Besonders spannend finde ich Veranstaltungen, die von Musikern und Künstlern mit einem unverbrauchten, innovativen Ansatz kuratiert sind, der neue kreative Perspektiven in der zeitgenössischen Musik öffnet. Die kommenden Monate bringen gleich mehrere dieser Konzerte: Vom 5. bis 7. Mai werden beim Festival Syn / Cussion im Radial system V neun Duos aus Percussion und Elektronik in einen intensiven musikalischen Dialog treten. Am 21. Mai spielt der klas sisch ausgebildete Musiker und Komponist William Basinski im Hangar 49, der seit über 30 Jahren mit experimentellen Medien in NYC und Kalifornien arbeitet. Das Festival Heroines of Sound präsentiert frühe und aktuelle Heldinnen der elektronischen Musik. In Konzerten, Performances, Videos und Diskussionen werden Frauen der frühen elektronischen Musik zusammen mit Künstlerinnen präsentiert, die heute elektronische Klänge transformieren und performativ interpretieren. Schließlich noch ein Hinweis in eigener Sache: Das erste und einzige Konzert von Merzbow, Keiji Haino und Pándi in der St. Elisabeth Kirche am 31. Mai ist Teil meiner neuen Konzertreihe in verschiedenen Kirchen der Stadt. -

But how do I keep a positive outlook on something that has consumed a fair chunk of my life, and continues to take up so much of my time? I believe my brain loves the intersection of art, craft, and technology. -

Alba Doesn't Care About Fantastic Four Role
37 TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Webb recalls offer to first helm Spider-Man arc Webb thought it was “crazy” when he was first offered the chance to direct ‘The Amazing Spider- MMan’. The 39-year-old filmmaker - who was recently confirmed to helm Andrew Garfield in the third installment of the superhero franchise - was initially surprised when he was approached by Sony boss, Amy Pascal, to make a remake of Sam Raimi’s 2002 film ‘Spider-Man’. Talking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, in Austin, Texas, he told the audience: “I thought it was crazy.” Pascal responded to his hesita- tions by saying: “Honey, you can’t turn down Spider-Man.” Webb wants the film franchise to be “fantastic” and “big”, in keeping with how children feel when they read about the Marvel superhero, who was first created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He added: “I’m going to embrace the spectacle. There was a moment deep in the [first film’s] post-production process where a giant lizard smashed through a wall chas- ing a boy-man in a unitard and I said, ‘This is not grounded. I’m not going to be beholden to smallness. I want it to be fantastic, to be big, to command and express that feeling when you’re a kid and reading the comics.’ I didn’t want to hide or shy away from that.” Lily Allen to release Sheezus in May Smith to produce Harlem Hellfighters ill Smith has signed on to produce a film Wadaptation of the graphic novel ‘Harlem Hellfighters’. -

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6. -
Popular Music in Germany the History of Electronic Music in Germany
Course Title Popular Music in Germany The History of Electronic Music in Germany Course Number REMU-UT.9811001 SAMPLE SYLLABUS Instructors’ Contact Information Heiko Hoffmann [email protected] Course Details Wednesdays, 6:15pm to 7:30pm Location of class: NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room “Prenzlauer Berg” (tbc) Prerequisites No pre-requisites Units earned 2 credits Course Description From Karlheinz Stockhausen and Kraftwerk to Giorgio Moroder, D.A.F. and the Euro Dance of Snap!, the first nine weeks of class consider the history of German electronic music prior to the Fall of the Wall in 1989. We will particularly look at how electronic music developed in Germany before the advent of house and techno in the late 1980s. One focus will be on regional scenes, such as the Düsseldorf school of electronic music in the 1970s with music groups such as Cluster, Neu! and Can, the Berlin school of synthesizer pioneers like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching, or Giorgio Moroder's Sound of Munich. Students will be expected to competently identify key musicians and recordings of this creative period. The second half of the course looks more specifically at the arrival of techno, a new musical movement, and new technology in Berlin and Germany in the turbulent years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, up to the present. Indeed, Post-Wall East Berlin, full of abandoned spaces and buildings and deserted office blocks, was the perfect breeding ground for the youth culture that would dominate the 1990s and led techno pioneers and artists from the East and the West to take over and set up shop. -
“I Know That We the New Slaves”: an Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’S Yeezus
1 “I KNOW THAT WE THE NEW SLAVES”: AN ILLUSION OF LIFE ANALYSIS OF KANYE WEST’S YEEZUS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY MARGARET A. PARSON DR. KRISTEN MCCAULIFF - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2017 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: “I Know That We the New Slaves”: An Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’s Yeezus. STUDENT: Margaret Parson DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: College of Communication Information and Media DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 108 This work utilizes an Illusion of Life method, developed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001) to analyze the 2013 album Yeezus by Kanye West. Through analyzing the lyrics of the album, several major arguments are made. First, Kanye West’s album Yeezus creates a new ethos to describe what it means to be a Black man in the United States. Additionally, West discusses race when looking at Black history as the foundation for this new ethos, through examples such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nina Simone’s rhetoric, references to racist cartoons and movies, and discussion of historical events such as apartheid. West also depicts race through lyrics about the imagined Black male experience in terms of education and capitalism. Second, the score of the album is ultimately categorized and charted according to the structures proposed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001). Ultimately, I argue that Yeezus presents several unique sounds and emotions, as well as perceptions on Black life in America. 3 Table of Contents Chapter One -
