Under the Skin [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Mica Levi's work with Micachu & the Shapes is often maximalist in the best possible way, brimming over with ideas and sounds. While the band's collaboration with the London Sinfonietta, which resulted in 2011's Chopped & Screwed, nodded to her classical training (including her studies at Guildhall School of Music and Drama), the masterful restraint she displays on her first solo project, and first score, is a welcome surprise. Her music for Under the Skin, Jonathan Glazer's film about a man-eating alien cloaked in the alluring disguise of Scarlett Johansson's body, is unobtrusive yet unmistakable, suggesting a mood of barely suppressed panic and emptiness without defining it too obviously. Levi's inspirations are classical and classic, and the way she combines minimalism and the essentials of horror/suspense scores modernizes both. Levi evokes much with little: strings buzz with frantic, insectoid activity, sometimes converging in a nervous hum; meanwhile, lumbering percussion suggests heartbeats, the way time slows down in the face of fear and/or a diabolical machine that, once started, can't be stopped. The score's star, however, is a creeping three-note motif that is even eerier because of its simplicity and strange familiarity. With just a few tweaks, Levi makes it sound menacing, seductive, or vulnerable -- or most dangerously, all three at once, as on "Lipstick to Void." "Drift" is another standout, and one of the finest examples of how Levi creates as much tension with her use of silence as she does within the music; it's no coincidence that the titles of some of the score's pieces suggest not just empty spaces but actively, hypnotically destructive ones. Under the Skin's repetition makes its minute changes stand out even more, whether it's the lower counterpoint on "Andrew Void" that adds weight and depth, the odd sweetness of "Lonely Void"'s high harmonies, or the way "Love" fleshes out and warms up the score's drones into something equally sensual and painful (and reminiscent of Angelo Badalamenti's fondness for ultra-romantic processed strings). The repetition also intensifies the score's emotional pull -- you don't have to have seen the movie to be frightened whenever that thumping beat kicks in -- and emphasizes its circular nature. Between the scrabbling bookends of "Creation" and "Alien Loop," each track blends into the next like a fever dream. Under the Skin is a fantastic study in tension and terror, and an exciting beginning to what will hopefully be a lengthy career for Levi as a solo artist and film composer.

Interstellar (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Expanded Edition] A Star Is Born Soundtrack. Hamilton. An American Musical. Sophistication, humour, sensitivity… These are the words that often come to mind when describing Henry Mancini’s music. 23 years after his death, he is still seen as a major and influential pop composer. No doubt because, in addition to his glossy and light works for which he is renowned (notably Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Pink Panther), he also knew how to display the complexity of his musical language in more tormented compositions. Motown in the North. And Stax in the South. Two quite distinct conceptions of soul music. In the southern humidity of Memphis, Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T and a few others invented a unique groove imbibed with blues and above all gospel. Through feature-length and animated films, Tim Burton has created a fascinating world of cinema over the last thirty years where poetic wonders meet gothic aesthetic and macabre humor. With few exceptions, he worked on most of his films with a specific composer, Danny Elfman. Without Burton’s images, Elfman’s music would not feel the same, and vice-versa. In 2019, the two artists proved this one more time with their last collaboration: the deeply moving "Dumbo". Under the Skin OST. The character Scarlett Johansson plays in Under The Skin is a blank-eyed cipher, a predator without apparent motivation. There is no horror more visceral than the horror of the impersonal, so it makes sense that Mica Levi, who composed the film's score, would turn to György Ligeti's masterful sense of elemental horror. The score has the feel of a thought process, albeit one conducted by a being you have no genetic relation to. The character Scarlett Johansson plays in Under the Skin is a blank-eyed cipher, a predator without apparent motivation. There is no horror more visceral than the horror of the impersonal, so it makes sense that Mica Levi, composing the film's score, would turn to the master of elemental horror:György Ligeti, whose ability to gather masses of semitones into translucent wisps without a center made The Shining , which relied heavily on his work Lontano , the scariest movie ever made. (Watch that film with the music off, I still maintain, and it becomes a particularly caustic domestic comedy.) The score opens with a locust plague of dry tremolos, the strings pressing down until the sound has reached a roar. It's a sound with tremendous menace and weight. From there, the roar shrinks into a whine, and enters a hazy nexus between digitally processed and live sound. It's an indeterminacy Levi worked hard to cultivate: "We were looking at the natural sound of an instrument to try and find something identifiably human in it, then slowing things down or changing the pitch of it to make it feel uncomfortable," she told The Guardian . Insectile, near-vocal sounds erupt across the tense, arid space of "Lipstick to Void," evoking either the Knife's berserker Shaking the Habitual or the processed strings from Britney Spears' "Toxic". It's an appropriate cross-section for the film, which veers between menace and sexuality and brilliantly cross-wires high-brain and low-groin impulses. That hovering dust-cloud of strings, which Levi referred to as "like a beehive" in her and Under the Skin director Jonathan Glazer's recent Pitchfork interview, pops up repeatedly throughout the score with minor additions and tweaks representing the journey of Johansson's character: in "Meat to Maths", there are clanging bell-like sounds behind it, while in "Mirror to Vortex" it's half-submerged in the amplified sound of its own echo. In the context of the film, these additions feel like the messiness of lived experience muddying Johansson's template, the imprint of the lives she begins to grapple with as her time on Earth extends.

    2007/2017 | POST-PUNK Post-punk was never a sound. Or at least, it was way too many sounds to be boiled down to a single aesthetic. What tied those many sounds together was an adventurous, seeking spirit. It was music often made by young people, but it wasn’t youth music per se, striving for themes and sounds that were less ephemeral than most popular music. I’ve always thought of it as a flourishing that lasted from about 1978-1982 before passing the torch to other music (though a lot of post-punk and new wave musicians continued to do fantastic work). And that was that--the music continues to surprise and excite us, but it was finite. That understanding was recently massively shaken up, when I met Dave Cantrell, whose Songs From Under the Floorboard radio show on XRAY.fm and Out From The Shadows music festival in Portland, Oregon unabashedly use the term “post-punk” to refer to an active musical culture, with no qualifiers like “neo” or “revival” necessary. I was skeptical, sound unheard, expecting it to be a shallow exercise in aping the sounds of post- punk without engaging the animating spirit at its core. But Dave is an “original” post-punk, who was “there” in London, late 70s/early 80s, meeting the bands, experiencing post-punk first-hand as I never could (I was born in 1980) as a living culture. So if he felt so sure that this current-day “post-punk” needed no qualifiers, I had to give it a shot.

    88.1 FM RiFLe SPRING 2013 • WRFL 88.1FM FREE FOR ALL Our Dear &Gentle Reader I am brimming with excitement as I write to you this letter, my first as WRFL’s General Manager. If you’re reading this magazine, I expect that you are one of two people: someone who knows and loves WRFL, or someone who is somewhat unfamiliar so far. If you are that first, familiar person, I am happy to welcome you to this most recent edition of WRFL’s RiFLe magazine – inside is yet another excellent collection of wonderful, creative work that reflects the efforts of an entire college and community radio station. If you are the second, less familiar person, I hope you’ll take the time to pore over the contents of this publication. It represents the common love for music, art, and culture of hundreds of Lexingtonians, brought together by the magic of playing music on the radio. People (myself included) don’t necessarily come to WRFL with a pre- existing appreciation for these things, but it is nearly impossible to spend much time in a place like this without acquiring it. Peek inside to see the writing, humor, interests, and art of the people that have such a dedication for our city, and understand that WRFL has served as a means of bringing so many of these people together to share this love with one another. As I begin my time as General Manager at WRFL, I assure you that I possess nothing but gratitude for the work and passion of the people who have gotten the station through it’s first twenty-five years, and I look forward to guiding it through the next chapter.

  • Soil, Leaves and Dusthanna Valle
    Soil, Leaves and DustHanna Valle Design Department – Sandberg Institute 2020 There I was, walking again. A thin layer of mist was rifting while my chest and hands were piercing the grey veil. The ground sunk softly under my weight and dirt burst through my toes, making a repressed squeak with every touch. The air was muttering indecipherable syllables and sentences. It didn’t seem to care if there were any possible listeners. There was a perpetual whirring in the dusky evening. When compared to the day before, I didn’t notice any significant changes in the land- scape. Whether there was ever any transformation in it, it was impossi- ble to tell. The landscape was vast and wide, flat as a string stretched on a board. The presence of the horizon was always lingering there, now concealed by the fog, but waiting to be unveiled again. During the mist, the ground seemed to blend seamlessly into the air with its muted tones of grey and brown. When the fog occasionally broke clear for a moment, it was possible to see little speckles of red and lengthy rifts of bright orange gently snaking the surface of the Earth. The rifts were sporadi- cally sighing streams of steam and gassy fumes. You could walk towards the horizon for hours, hoping for a change in the landscape, and still feel you hadn’t moved a dash. It was such an unwelcoming view that it didn’t encourage you to move in the slightest. Stopping, however, wasn’t an option for me. It was very important that I regularly lifted the members of my body.

Whether as part of a subplot or as main narrative, gay and lesbian identities and same-sex desire are key to these “gay music videos.” Drawing on queer theory-informed popular culture studies, this article investigates the way these videos negotiate heteronormativity. By means of a textual analysis of how seven contemporary gay music videos represent same-sex intimacies, the article demonstrates the diversity in the videos’ politics of representation, ranging from reiterations of the heteronormal to provocations and queer critiques of heteronormative discourse and homonormative aspirations.
