  • Since Cornelius's Music Often Evokes the Harmonies, Instrumentation, And
    New Sound 25 Loren Y. Kajikawa “An Escape From the Planet of the Apes: Accounting for Cornelius’s International Reception” Article received on October 4, 2004 UDC 78.067.26 (52) Cornelius Loren Y. Kajikawa “AN ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES: ACCOUNTING FOR CORNELIUS’S INTERNATIONAL RECEPTION” “Monkey See, Monkey Do”: Authenticity, Imitation, and Translation Abstract: Electronic/rock musician Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada) belongs to a loosely constructed genre of Japanese pop termed “Shibuya-kei.” Groups in this genre—Pizzicato Five, Flipper’s Guitar, and Scha Dara Parr among others— emulate the sounds and textures of pre-existing tunes, transforming Western popular music and creating a new and unique sound that has become a source of pride to Japanese music enthusiasts. Cornelius has produced a number of imaginative CDs and videos, and fans and critics in North America, Western Europe, and Australia have embraced his work. Yet Cornelius’s popularity, which is a rare occurrence for a Japanese pop musician in the West, raises a number of interesting questions about how listeners interpret music across boundaries of language and culture. First, this paper explores how Cornelius has been received by American critics, arguing that written reviews of his music stand as acts of “translation” that interpolate Cornelius’s music into Western discourses while overlooking the Japanese cultural context from which such work emerges. Secondly, this paper draws on published interviews to contextualize Cornelius’s use of “blank parody” as a possible defense strategy against this burden of Western civilization. And finally, this paper offers its own interpretation of Cornelius’s musical significance: Putting forward a utopian, post-national, cybernetic artistic vision, Cornelius’s electronic music collages avoid invoking racialized bodies in ways that have been problematic for Japanese jazz, rock, and hip-hop musicians.

  • WHALE WATCHING TOUR Países: Estados Unidos/ Islandia/ Australia Duración Aproximada: 1 Hora Y 30 Minutos (Sin Intermedio)
    festival de otoño 09 www.bedroomcommunity.net Foto: Bjarni Grímsson MÚSICA WHALE WATCHING TOUR Países: Estados Unidos/ Islandia/ Australia Duración aproximada: 1 hora y 30 minutos (sin intermedio) -ESTRENO EN ESPAÑA- En el año 2006 Nico Muhly, Ben Frost y Valgeir Sigurðsson fundan el sello islandés Bedroom Community. Ahora, unidos a Sam Amidon emprenden una gira europea con un proyecto colectivo al que han llamado Whale Watching Tour. Más que como una serie de conciertos al uso, la gira se presenta como una experiencia musical única, un cóctel de artistas con inquietudes similares y orígenes musicales diversos. Graduado en composición en la Juilliard School, el joven Nico Muhly ha causado gran revuelo en los círculos de la músi- ca moderna por su activa participación en distintos proyectos. Ha colaborado con artistas como Antony (de Antony and the Johnsons) y ha sido discípulo aventajado de Philip Glass, con quien ha trabajado en varias obras y bandas sonoras. Colaboró como músico de Björk en el album Medúlla y ayudó a esta artista islandesa con los arreglos para la banda sonora de la película Drawing Restraint 9. Pero sin duda la música de la película The Reader ha sido el proyecto que le ha permitido conquistar al gran público. En 2006 crea su propio sello (Bedroom Community) junto a Ben Frost (su indó- mito Theory of Machines sigue entre los puntos álgidos de la electrónica experimental reciente) y Valgeir Sigurðsson (ha colaborado con Björk, Sigur Rós y múm, entre otros). En 2009, uniendo sus talentos a Sam Amidon (para muchos uno de los mejores compositores indie del siglo XXI), estos tres músicos alérgicos a las etiquetas se zambullen en el Whale Watching Tour.

  • CAP UCLA Presents Regina Carter's 'Southern Comfort' Plus Sam
    Press Release Friday, December 18th, 2015 Contact: Ashley Eckenweiler [email protected] CAP UCLA Presents Regina Carter’s ‘Southern Comfort’ plus Sam Amidon Feb. 26 at Royce Hall Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA is proud to present the rich stylings of jazz violinist Regina Carter, who will perform from her newest album Southern Comfort—a journey through the musical history of the South. Folk multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon will bring the American past back to us with re-composed folk songs. Tickets ($29-$59) for Friday, February 26 at 8 p.m. are available now at cap.ucla.edu, via Ticketmaster and at the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310.825.2101. This performance is supported in part by the Sally & William A. Rutter Endowment for the Performing Arts, the Ginny Mancini Endowment for Vocal Performance and the Roslyn Holt Swartz & Allan J. Swartz Endowment for the Performing Arts. Sam Amidon will also be participating in a special event for local public schools through the Design for Sharing arts education program. In this special performance for student audiences, Sam and his band will share re-imagined Appalachian folk favorites, incorporating elements of jazz, experimental and indie rock music. ABOUT REGINA CARTER Violinist Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation – a designation which doesn’t quite paint the picture. As a result of her curiosity, passion, and quest for beauty brought to every stop taken on her full musical journey, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (a “genius grant”). Those are more apparent than ever on her latest album Southern Comfort (Sony Music Masterworks).

  • Doveman Bomb 033010
    March 30, 2010 We are taught the piano is purely percussive, but its anatomy speaks otherwise. Inside a piano, you’ll find strings as well as hammers. Its body stands mid-ground between identities, something of a fish that flies or a bird that swims. Though it’s the action behind the sound that points largely to an instrument’s identity, one is safe to say a piano is percussive because the strings are struck. But what then when pianos are played in two? The scale is doubled and a depth of sound achieved by four hands. The action is still percussive but now collaborative. Keyboard-to-keyboard and back-to-back, Thomas Bartlett and Nico Muhly shared an island of two piano benches swaying out compositions as one musician. They were surrounded by pools of lamp light on The Kitchen stage last week and accompanied by a host of collaborators from ACME strings, The National, to March 30, 2010 Sam Amidon. The evening was divided into two sections: 1.) released and unreleased music by Bartlett and Muhly with interludes of rare gamelan transcriptions by Colin McPhee; played on two pianos by Bartlett and Muhly under the nom de plume Peter Pears (the tenor and life-long partner to Benjamin Britten) 2.) a performance in toto of Bartlett’s latest release The Conformist; played by Bartlett, Muhly, and company as Bartlett’s band Doveman. Their mutable identities and ease in working together complicates traditional notions of authorship and the act of listening. By taking on two different personae Muhly and Bartlett are able to bracket different bodies of work.
