DOUTORA LUÍSA RIBAS MESTRADO EM DESIGN DE COMUNICAÇÃO E NOVOS MEDIA 2015 Resumo Este trabalho visa identificar estratégias emergentes de veiculação da música pop no contexto contemporâneo. Neste âmbito, a investigação debruça-se sobre o estudo da música pop enquanto forma de expressão artística audiovisual. Examinam-se os pro- dutos e estratégias usados actualmente na sua produção e disseminação, atendendo às possibilidades dos media digitais e procurando evidenciar o tipo de envolvimento do público que promovem. A investigação começa por proporcionar uma compreensão da música pop enquanto fenómeno simultaneamente sonoro e imagético, através de um enquadramento teórico que traça a sua expressão audiovisual ao longo do século XX até ao contexto contem- porâneo. Na sequência deste contexto histórico, proporciona-se uma visão dos desdo- bramentos contemporâneos da música pop, através da análise de diferentes produtos e estratégias utilizadas na sua veiculação. De acordo com esta análise, o estudo foca-se em aplicações interactivas para dispositivos móveis (apps) enquanto forma emergente de veiculação da música pop, contemplando o papel do público. Para tal, reúnem-se instrumentos teóricos que possibilitam uma análise das tipologias e funcionalidades das apps, bem como dos papéis interpretativo, exploratório e configurativo do público. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que as formas emergentes de veiculação da músi- ca pop, como as apps, reforçam uma concepção da música pop enquanto fenómeno audiovisual, potenciando a construção simultânea das suas dimensões sonoras e ima- géticas. Revelam igualmente como o envolvimento activo do público é promovido ao fomentar uma relação continuada entre o utilizador e a edição musical. Com esta análise, procurou-se contribuir para uma compreensão da música pop enquanto pro- jecto total, cujos desdobramentos exemplificam uma ligação permanente entre som e imagem, entre media áudio e visuais, e entre formas de expressão artística na cultura pop contemporânea. Palavras-chave: música pop, audiovisualidade, media digitais, aplicações móveis. Abstract This work aims to identify emerging strategies for conveying pop music in the con- temporary context. In this scope, the research focuses on the study of pop music as an audiovisual form of artistic expression. It examines the products and strategies that are currently used in its production and dissemination, taking into account the possibi- lities of digital media and seeking to reveal the kind of involvement they promote on the part of the public. The research begins by providing an understanding of pop music as a simultaneously sonorous and imagetic phenomenon, through a theoretical framework that traces its audiovisual expression throughout the twentieth century until the contemporary context. Following this historical context, it provides a vision of contemporary deve- lopments of pop music, through an analysis of different products and strategies used in its dissemination. According to this analysis, the study focuses on interactive mobile applications (apps) as an emergent form of pop music publication and dissemination, while contemplating the role of the public. To do this, we gather theoretical tools that enable an analysis of the apps’ typology and functionality, as well as the interpretive, exploratory and configurative roles of the public. The results of this study suggest that the emerging forms of pop music dissemination, such as apps, reinforce a conception of pop music as an audiovisual phenomenon, enhancing the simultaneous construction of both its sound and image dimensions. They also reveal how the active involvement of the public is promoted by fostering an ongoing relationship between the user and the musical edition. With this analysis, we sought to contribute to an understanding of pop music as a total project, whose contemporary developments exemplify a permanent connection between sound and image, between audio and visual media, and between artistic forms of expression in contemporary pop culture. Keywords: pop music, audiovisuality, digital media, mobile applications.

  • A La Sombra Del Entrenador
    na “rabona” en un partido de futbol es una manera distinta de patear el balón. Algo original, nuevo, único. Un relám- pago inesperado. Una liebre que salta de repente detrás de una mata. Una buena noticia que sorprende gratamente. UNuestros “apuntes” quieren ser una rabona en el periodismo deportivo. Informar, formar y entretener creando belleza ¿por qué divorciar estas dimensiones que en la realidad están juntas? Es posible una mirada nueva, joven y provocativa, sobre el viejo y maravilloso tema del deporte. Decía André Maurois: “lo bello es aquello que es inteligible sin reflexión”. Decía Pablo Neruda en su poema “Verbo”: “voy a arru- gar esta palabra, voy a torcerla, sí, es demasiado lisa, es como si un gran perro o un gran río le hubieran repasado lengua o agua duran- te muchos años… quiero palabras ásperas como piedras vírgenes.” “Apuntes” no son ni un tweet, ni un tratado acabado. Son un sabroso “tente en pie” en el camino de la vida, en el que algo aprendes y te deja un buen sabor de boca. “Rabona”. Etimológicamente se dice del animal que no tiene rabo o que lo tiene más corto que lo normal. Familiarmente se dice de la prenda de vestir que queda corta. En el futbol se dice del artista que patea el balón cruzando el pie: es un derroche de estilo y eficiencia. directorio Director General ditorial Pedro González M.

  • Neil Davidge
    Neil Davidge COMPOSER As co-writer and key sonic facilitator on the lauded Massive Attack albums Mezzanine, 100th Window and Heligoland, Bristol, England's Neil Davidge has been integral in birthing some of the most arresting and innovative sounds of the Nineties and Noughties. He has also enjoyed a parallel career composing for Film and Television. His early venture into the world of film scoring included The Storm That Brought You To Me, from Louis Leterrier's 2010 fantasy film Clash Of the Titans, and his co-write score for Trouble The Water, a moving study of Hurricane Katrina victims that won the ‘Best Documentary’ gong at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Following that, Neil won over an entirely new audience in 2012 with Microsoft / 343 Industries - the company behind famed multi-million-selling franchise Halo - who commissioned him to write the score for the quantum leap in fun-filled alien slaughter that is Halo 4. The soundtrack went on to sell over 90,000 albums, 120,000 downloads and was the highest charting game soundtrack ever in the US billboard charts. The stellar success of Halo 4 resulted in further movie score work including the 2014 Henrik Ruben Genz movie Good People starring Kate Hudson and James Franco, the Tom Green directed Monsters: Dark Continent, and the 2015 Canal Plus 10-part thriller TV series Spotless starring Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton and Rachel McAdams. In 2017 Neil scored several highly coveted BBC1 dramas including the Anthony Horowitz TV series New Blood, the BBC four-part drama In The Dark, and new 2018 Jim Sturgess/ Agyness Deyne pre-apocalyptic thrilled Hard Sun.
