  • Liberated Punks Accelerate China’S Musical Evolution
    About blogs Just another WordPress weblog Liberated Punks Accelerate China’s Musical Evolution From Pigface and Ministry to PiL and Killing Joke, drummer Martin Atkins has pounded the skins for some very loud punks. But he didn't realize that China's underground sound would throw him into a time machine and dial it back to the '70s and '80s, when bands were pushing the envelope on conventional rock and not really caring how you felt about it. Atkins shot 80 hours of video from his 2006 trip into Asia's 21st century powerhouse, and chopped it down into the recently released documentary Sixteen Days in China . Listening Post caught up with him to talk about China's greatest bands you've never heard and more. Wired.com: How did your experiences with Ministry and your other bands match up to the scene you witnessed in China? Martin Atkins: I think time and location has more relevance, like London in 1977, New York in 1980 or maybe Chicago 1989. These were cities that had exploding scenes that I managed to be a small part of. Add to that some entrepreneurial what-the-fuck-ness, and there you go! The backdrop is different, but the immersion, the focus on just the music and attitude feels like a definite ripple from those times. It doesn't feel strategized in a careerist way. The guys in D-22, who now have a label called Maybe Mars, and their venue reminded me of the vibe of CBGB's. While I was over there, I saw the club on CNN, and that rang a bell for me.

Its main goal is to gain better insight in the question why some local music production centers are more successful than others. It brings together some main findings of studies on the international success of scenes and yields a set of facilitating factors that can be used to analyze the success of local music scenes. The theoretical framework first deals with the concepts scene and success and subsequently provides a number of facilitating factors to the international success of music scenes in general, extracted from literature on other internationally successful local music scenes. The data consists of 12 semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Among the respondents are mostly musicians who did or did not (yet) break through internationally, but also people working in the music industry and people who are in other ways connected to Icelandic music and its scene.

  • 2. Geografické Přiblížení Islandu
    Poděkování Tímto bych chtěl poděkovat především vedoucímu práce Mgr. Hynku Böhmovi, Ph.D. za jeho znalosti, rady a podporu během tvorby této bakalářské práce. Zároveň bych rád poděkoval Matěji Chumlenovi, za poskytnutí jedné z fotografií z naší společné cesty na Island a v neposledním bodě všem respondentům z řad islandských festivalů, kteří reagovali na dotazník. Anotace Cílem bakalářské práce je pokusit se o regionalizaci Islandu, se zaměřením na hudbu. Tato regionalizace se bude odvíjet od administrativního členění Islandu, které bude doplněna o základní regionalizaci ostrova pohledem fyzické geografie. Práce bude uvedena prostřednictvím představení jednotlivých regionů Islandu optikou humánní i fyzickou geografie. Dále se budu věnovat možnému rozvoji regionů, kde se konají významné hudební festivaly. Tyto hudební festivaly ročně přilákají tisíce lidí nejen z Islandu, ale i z celého světa. Zaměřovat se především budu na návštěvnost ze světa za konkrétními festivaly. V rámci práce bude nejvíce použita metoda desk research, která bude doplněna prací se statistikou. Pokusím se také o kvalitativní šetření dotazníkovou metodou mezi organizátory hudebních festivalů. Klíčová slova Island, regionalizace, turismus, hudba, festival Annotation The aim of this thesis is attempting to regionalise Iceland based on music. This regionalisation will be based on administrative regions of Iceland amended by elementary regionalisation of the island regarding its physical geography. The thesis will begin with introduction of individual Icelandic regions in terms of both human and physical geography. Further, the author will debate possible future development of regions in which major music festivals take place. These music festivals annually attract thousands of people not only from Iceland, but from around the world.
