In keeping with this storied tradition, we’re proud to partner with Midem and Deezer on this Midem Artist Accelerator to discover, share and showcase the next generation of amazing talents.” Deezer’s Delphine Ferré says: “New artist development and championing new talent has always been at the heart of our business, with music discovery and recommendation in our DNA. With the Midem Artist Accelerator, we’re extremely excited to be part of this first in the industry, and wish all participants the best of luck as they begin what will no doubt be an incredible journey from the stage at Cannes.” “Midem is actively working to support artists.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

    Popularmusikforschung39-03: the Value of Live Music

    THE VALUE OF LIVE MUSIC Simon Frith From April 2008 until April 2011 I directed a research project on live music in Britain.1 We are now writing up our findings,2 and since February 2012 we have had funding for a follow-up project, designed to establish ongoing links between academic researchers, the live music industry and the wider public.3 The original research project was organized around an investigation of the business of live music promotion and a crucial part of our method was interviewing. We talked to more than 100 promoters, from the MD of Live Nation in the UK and such big names as Harvey Goldsmith to local club owners and enthusiasts. We covered all types of music (including classical) — which is one reason why our findings will fill three books. One of my roles in the research team is to present our work to the live music industry itself, whether by attending their trade events and writing for their trade papers or by inviting them to seminars we organise. Such »knowledge exchange« (to use current academic jargon) is not without its problems and two kinds of miscommunication between university-based researchers and live music industry players particular interest me (and have informed the design of our follow up project). First, we apparently have quite different interpretations of a shared phrase, »the value of live music«. Their take is, it seems, straightforwardly economic: the value of live music can be measured by how much money people are prepared to pay for it. Our approach, by contrast, is more philo- sophical (or up our own backsides, as the industry would say): what is it that people think they are paying for? What exactly do they value?

It takes mucho cojones—18 of them, apparently—to stage a giant, carnival-like festival for your first live appearance in a foreign country, and that's exactly what SLIPKNOT did in December of 2015 when they held the seventh Knotfest in Toluca, Mexico (about an hour's drive west of Mexico City). The band's performance was captured on the just-released "Day Of The Gusano" , but instead of being advertised as a live DVD or concert film, "Gusano" (Spanish for "maggot", a word long ago appropriated by the band to describe its fans) has been described as a "documentary". Don't be misled, however, for around four-fifths of its 90-minute running time, "Gusano" , which was screened in select theaters around the world, shows SLIPKNOT performing a 16-song set before an enormous, passionate crowd. (For reasons unknown, the DVD and Blu-ray editions rearrange the track listing from the audio-only release. That version showcases the group's complete 17-song set in the same order in which it was performed, and omits "People = Shit" .) The remaining quarter-hour or so primarily features snippets of interviews with unmasked band members and a handful of unidentified Mexican fans, with both camps attempting to portray the group's arrival in town as a Really.

    Analysing Live Music in the UK: Findings One Year Into a Three-Year Research Project

    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music Analysing Live Music in the UK: Findings One Year into a Three-Year Research Project Simon Frith [email protected] University of Edinburgh Abstract This is the first of four related articles in this journal presenting findings from an ongoing research project on the history of live music in the UK since 1950. This introductory article outlines the project’s starting assumption—that popular music culture in this period was organised around the constantly changing relationship of the recorded music and live music sectors—and suggests that this is to challenge the conventional academic assumption that the post-war history of popular music can be written as the history of the record industry. To approach popular music history from the perspective of live musical promotion means a) rethinking periodisation; b) examining a very wide range of musical activities; c) paying attention to the regulatory and the promotional roles of the state; d) understanding the importance of locality and place; e) reconceiving the power structure of musical institutions. Keywords: live music, promotion, the state. In his excellent book, Making Easy Listening. Material Culture and Postwar American Recording (University of Minnesota Press 2006), Tim J. Anderson suggests that “the period from after World War II to the rise of rock music as the dominant genre of the day” has been underresearched. This was the time, he suggests, when “the recording, in effect, replaced sheet music as the dominant material unit of exchange and musical distribution”, and the final effect of this transition was profound: Indeed, no single history or historian could do justice to this change, for its impact was so widespread and so fundamental that the record would overtake the importance of live performance in terms of its industrial, aesthetic, and, eventually, cultural influence (Anderson, 2006, pp.xviii-xix).

The first six months represent major improvements and growth, followed by the sudden public closure and responses to the Covid health crisis. The year began with the renewal of the Rhythm Foundation’s management agreement. Experience and momentum gathered during the first management term were brought to bear and a season of widely diverse cultural offerings was undertaken. Long awaited capital improvements of the canopy covering and new seating system were completed in February. The season was in the middle of the busiest period in mid March when we closed the facility to the public in mid March due to the Covid health crisis. We immediately modified and adapted our operations using live streaming technologies to complete the Rhythm Foundations’s 32nd season. Emergency funding and support from the City, County and Federal government have been critical to sustaining the organization through this prolonged health crisis. We proactively engaged with community partners to identify funding, tech support and best practices for safe operations. Since going virtual in mid-March, we’ve broadcast sixteen (16) full length concerts as live streams to a collective audience of over 100,000 viewers from all over the world. The 20/21 season ahead is anchored by partnerships with the leading cultural presenting organizations in the South Florida, furthering our goal of establishing the North Beach Bandshell as a major performing arts facility in our region.
