Tout d'abord, les spectacles et les formes de divertissements qui sont apparus en Amérique du Nord au 19e et au début du 20e siècle. Ensuite, le cinéma musical hollywoodien de 1929 à 1960. Après avoir sommairement présenté ces deux corpus, je m'efforcerai de penser le film de Zappa à l'aune de ces deux mondes et de certaines de leurs caractéristiques. Je conclurai par une réflexion à propos des méthodes d'analyses que l'on peut mobiliser pour aborder un film musical et le répertoire rock.

  • Frank Zappa's Legacy: Just Another Hoover? L’Héritage De Frank Zappa : Juste Un Autre « Hoover »? Ben Watson
    Document généré le 26 sept. 2021 16:13 Circuit Musiques contemporaines Frank Zappa's Legacy: Just Another Hoover? L’héritage de Frank Zappa : juste un autre « Hoover »? Ben Watson Frank Zappa : 10 ans après Résumé de l'article Volume 14, numéro 3, 2004 Dans ce texte, Ben Watson révèle un fait en apparence anodin : lorsque Zappa référait à son « oeuvre », vers la fin de sa vie, en utilisant le mot français, il le URI : https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/902325ar prononçait comme le mot anglais Hoover, qui est le nom de l’une des marques DOI : https://doi.org/10.7202/902325ar d’aspirateurs les plus connues dans le monde. Watson choisit, en utilisant un procédé parfaitement en phase avec le dédain dadaïste que Zappa affichait Aller au sommaire du numéro pour les valeurs culturelles, de transformer cette homophonie en prémisse à son essai : l’oeuvre de Zappa est, en effet, un « Hoover ». La critique académique s’entend aujourd’hui pour faire l’éloge de Zappa en tant que compositeur, mais en laissant de côté l’angle critique de son travail. En fait, ce Éditeur(s) qui rendait Zappa particulier, c’était précisément le fait qu’il reconnaissait que Les Presses de l'Université de Montréal la mise en marché et l’industrie du legs, appliquées au concept de génie, répriment le désire et annihilent la musique. En utilisant des concepts littéraires et psychoanalytiques, l’algèbre zappologique de Watson arrive à ISSN l’équation suivante : Stéphane Mallarmé + Wilhelm Reich = Frank Zappa. Après 1183-1693 (imprimé) une étude approfondie de la récurrence du motif « Hoover » dans l’oeuvre de 1488-9692 (numérique) Zappa, l’auteur examine l’héritage du compositeur, qu’il remarque particulièrement dans le travail de Project/Object, des Muffin Men, de Matt Découvrir la revue Groening avec la série télévisée The Simpsons et du trio formé des improvisateurs Eugene Chadbourne, Jimmy Carl Black et Pat Thomas.

  • Bruce Bickford: the Uplands Curated by Eric White July 12 – August 13, 2021
    Bruce Bickford: The Uplands Curated by Eric White July 12 – August 13, 2021 Andrew Edlin Gallery 212 Bowery New York NY 10012 Electric Lady Studios 52 W 8th Street New York 10011 By appointment only Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to present the first New York gallery exhibition of drawings by celebrated artist Bruce Bickford (1947-2019). Best known for his groundbreaking 1970s stop- motion animations for Frank Zappa, Bickford was a prolific independent animator and illustrator whose legacy of films, graphic novels, and drawings are rooted in a narrative blend of B-movies, advertising icons, war, alternate histories and paranormal phenomena. The Uplands presents works created from 2012 until the artist’s passing and includes a series focused on the structure of Bickford’s fictional Pacific-Northwest landscape; outtakes from his graphic novel Vampire Picnic; and a suite of images depicting Zappa himself, which will be displayed at Electric Lady Studios where the musician recorded part of his renowned 1974 album Apostrophe’. A series of his graphite-on-paper animations will also be screening at Andrew Edlin Gallery. Bickford’s drawings, like his perpetual motion animations, depict a reality that was constantly unfolding in front of him. Much of this is evident in the Uplands, about which he wrote: “Several cults and interest groups exist in the Uplands, but the main society there has been quite stable for centuries, dating back to the early Viking settlements. Fortunately for them, there is a power that hovers over the Uplands, a barely visible shroud of energy which prevents the usage of modern electronic devices.” These drawings function as articulate, seemingly objective descriptions of Bickford’s universe of ideas because his mechanical pencil strokes never vary in width and seem as sure-footed as the lines made by an engineer carefully delineating a gear shift.

  • 1 PAUL CARR Le Zappa Family Trust
    ! PAUL CARR Le Zappa Family Trust : Exemple de gestion autocratique des droits d’auteur musicaux ? À la mort de Frank Zappa, une bataille juridique s’est engagée entre le Zappa Family Trust (ZFT) et les groupes musicaux appelés « tribute bands » qui, en hommage au compositeur, œuvrent à faire connaître sa musique à travers des concerts et des enregistrements. Créé par l’épouse de Frank Zappa, Gail, peu après la disparition de celui-ci, le « ZFT » détient à ce jour les droits d’auteur et d’exploitation commerciale de tous ses enregistrements « officiels », et l’obstination farouche avec laquelle cette institution protège la propriété intellectuelle dont elle a la garde a suscité un nombre incalculable d’injonctions « de cessation et d'abstention », adressées essentiellement aux « tribute artists », propagateurs de l’œuvre de Zappa aux États-Unis et en Europe. Jusqu’à une date récente, le conflit le plus ancien était celui opposant le ZFT au « Zappanale Festival » de Bad Doberan, en Allemagne, hommage le plus important rendu au musicien dans le monde. Suivant une procédure engagée par le ZFT à l’encontre des organisateurs (l’Arf Society) début 2008 pour usurpation de marques commerciales, la justice allemande trancha en faveur du festival en juin 2010, statuant que le ZFT n’avait pas apporté la preuve que le festival se soit livré à une exploitation active desdites marques en Allemagne. Outre les problématiques d’usurpation de marques commerciales, le Zappa Family Trust s’oppose, pour l’essentiel, au droit des musiciens, propriétaires de salles et autres organisateurs de festivals à interpréter les œuvres musicales de Zappa, une arme juridique qu’il continue de brandir à ce jour.
