    The ABC of Sheffield music nostalgia - SLIDESHOW - The Star Page 1 of 2 The ABC of Sheffield music nostalgia - SLIDESHOW Video See all the bands in our slideshow Just like old times: Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory and Martyn Ware, top right ABC’s Martin Fry and, above, Phil Oakey « Previous « Previous Next » Next » ADVERTISEMENT Published Date: 15 December 2008 By John Quinn A MAJOR pop music event took place on Saturday night. But let's ignore The X Factor. Several thousand Sheffielders did, instead opting for a night of not-just-nostalgia with three of the best-known acts ever to hail from around here – The Human League, ABC and Heaven 17. Whatever entertainment Simon Cowell's crew provides, one negative effect is spoiling the suspense and potential surprise of the race for the Christmas number one single. However the crowd at an impressively almost-full Arena preferred to hark back to the days when the festive chart-topper could be made by a weird synthesizer group whose singer had responded to a split in the ranks by recruiting two teenage girls with no musical talent except the ability to dance and sing. Well, sort of... The city's music scene at that time consisted largely of electronic experimentalists, some of whom suddenly discovered they could write pop songs. Very good pop songs at that, which sold by the bucketload until the tide of fashion changed. The acts still exist, albeit after several line-up changes each, and occasionally release albums to diminishing returns, so whoever decided to combine all three pulled off a masterstroke.

    Musical Visual Packet ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A tournament by the Purdue University Quiz Bowl Team Questions by Drew Benner, John Petrovich, Patrick Quion, Andrew Schingel, Lalit Maharjan, Pranav Veluri, and Ben Dahl ROUND 7: Finale 1) In a musical production choreographed by John Heginbotham, this scene introduces an electric guitar to the acoustic score and during it, boots fall from the rafters one by one. Gabrielle Hamilton stars in this scene in a revival that has it performed by a single dancer, barefoot, in a modern style. The film version of this scene has a tornado roaring in the background, while Susan Stroman’s choreography for this scene has the main cast perform it themselves, instead of having trained dancers play (*) avatars of them. This sequence ​ occurs after a character consumes the “Elixir of Egypt,” and it begins with a cheerful wedding that changes tone when the bride realizes two men have suddenly switched characters. Originally choreographed by Agnes de Mille, this revolutionary scene is regarded as the first dance sequence in a musical to incorporate plot. For ten points, name this fantasy sequence from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, where Laurey struggles choosing between Jud and Curly after taking a sleeping drug. ANS: the dream ballet from Oklahoma! (prompt on partial, ask for “from what musical” if just dream ballet is ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ given) <Musicals | Quion> 2) For one show, this composer created polyphonic chants in the fictional Zentraedi language and songs for the pop star Sharon Apple. Sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder, famous for recording albums like Coltrane’s A ​ Love Supreme, recorded this composer’s tracks for their most famous show.

    4. Northern England 1. Progress in Hell Northern England was both the center of the European industrial revolution and the birthplace of industrial music. From the early nineteenth century, coal and steel works fueled the economies of cities like Manchester and She!eld and shaped their culture and urban aesthetics. By 1970, the region’s continuous mandate of progress had paved roads and erected buildings that told 150 years of industrial history in their ugly, collisive urban planning—ever new growth amidst the expanding junkyard of old progress. In the BBC documentary Synth Britannia, the narrator declares that “Victorian slums had been torn down and replaced by ultramodern concrete highrises,” but the images on the screen show more brick ruins than clean futurescapes, ceaselessly "ashing dystopian sky- lines of colorless smoke.1 Chris Watson of the She!eld band Cabaret Voltaire recalls in the late 1960s “being taken on school trips round the steelworks . just seeing it as a vision of hell, you know, never ever wanting to do that.”2 #is outdated hell smoldered in spite of the city’s supposed growth and improve- ment; a$er all, She!eld had signi%cantly enlarged its administrative territory in 1967, and a year later the M1 motorway opened easy passage to London 170 miles south, and wasn’t that progress? Institutional modernization neither erased northern England’s nineteenth- century combination of working-class pride and disenfranchisement nor of- fered many genuinely new possibilities within culture and labor, the Open Uni- versity notwithstanding. In literature and the arts, it was a long-acknowledged truism that any municipal attempt at utopia would result in totalitarianism.

  • Video Killed the Radio Star«
    in: Positionen. Beiträge zur Neuen Musik, 1994, 18, 7ff, © Autor von There is nothing in it, it's just a video. Peter Buck, R.E.M. Als der Song »Video Killed the Radio Star« im Januar 1980 auf dem Album »The Golden Age of Plastic« der britischen Electro-Pop-Band The Buggles erschien, bedurfte es kaum einer besonderen prophetischen Gabe, um vorauszusehen, daß die Popmusik erneut vor einer generellen Umwälzung ihrer Produktions- und Verbreitungsbedingungen stand. Die Videotechnik sollte in der Tat ähnlich tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf die Popmusikentwicklung haben wie seinerzeit die Single-Schallplatte und das Kofferradio, denen der Rock'n'Roll in nicht geringem Maße seine Existenz verdankte. Eher eine Ironie der Geschichte ist es allerdings, daß ausgerechnet dieser Titel, der das Medium Video mit der Vernichtung musikalischer Kreativität in einer Plastikwelt Orwellscher Prägung assoziierte, geradezu als Symbol für die damit ausgelösten Veränderungen einstehen kann. Das düstere Bild popmusikalischer Zukunft (We can't rewind/we've gone too far/put the blame on VTR [Video Tape Recording — P. W.]), wurde nämlich von keinem geringeren als Trevor Horn, damals Leadsänger der Buggles, vokal in Szene gesetzt, bevor er dann höchst selbst, nach einem kurzen Zwischenspiel bei der renommierten Art-Rock-Band Yes, ab 1983 als Produzent mit einem technisch hochgestylten Aufnahmekonzept dem traditionellen »Radio Star« endgültig den Garaus machte. Frankie Goes To Hollywood, sein erfolgreichstes Produkt, ist eine Art Selbstkreation Trevor Horns zum »Studio Star«, der des Musikers nur noch als Medium aufnahmetechnischer Artistik im Rahmen eines multimedialen Gesamtkonzepts bedarf. Holly Johnson, Leadsänger von Frankie Goes To Hollywood, kommentierte das mit den treffenden Worten: »Ich bin kein Künstler mehr, ich bin zu einem Kunstwerk geworden.«1 Doch Trevor Horn war nicht der einzige, dessen Name sich mit dem Song »Video Killed the Radio Star« verband und der dann für eben diese Veränderungen, die darin als futuristische Horrorversion erscheinen, zum Synonym geworden ist.

  • From Popular Music to Film and Digital Media
    MUSC 499: The Music Video: From Popular Music to Film and Digital Media University of Southern California, Fall 2014 Tuesday, Thursday, 2:00-3:20 UUC B2 Instructor: Dr. Richard Brown Office: MUS 310 (Office Hour: T/Th 1-2pm) [email protected] www.richardhbrownjr.com Course Description: Since its emergence in the late 1970s, the music video has become the dominant means of advertising popular music and musicians, as well as one of the most influential multimedia genres in history. Music videos have affected aesthetic style in a wide range of film and television genres, introducing experimental and avant-garde techniques to a mass audience. Because most music videos last only a few minutes, it is difficult to make sense of their often-conflicting images, sounds, and messages. This course challenges participants to read music videos as texts by engaging with their visual and auditory materials. We will explore how the gender, race, and class of video participants shapes meaning, as well as how pacing and editing contribute to (or detract from) a narrative flow. We will also consider the music video in relation to notions of stardom and celebrity, and will speculate on the future of the music video amid drastic changes in the production and marketing of media. The second portion of the course applies these analytical skills to a wide variety of media, including video games, live concert films, film and television music placements, television title sequences and end credits, user generated content, YouTube, remixes and more. Course Materials: There is one required textbook available for free via USC’s electronic Ebook access: Carol Vernallis’ Experiencing Music Video: Aesthetics and Cultural Context (New York: Columbia University Press, 2004).
