Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Andrea F. Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Mark Katz Lee Weisert © 2020 Joanna Evelyn Helms ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joanna Evelyn Helms: Electronic Music History through the Everyday: The RAI Studio di Fonologia (1954–83) (Under the direction of Andrea F. Bohlman) My dissertation analyzes cultural production at the Studio di Fonologia (SdF), an electronic music studio operated by Italian state media network Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) in Milan from 1955 to 1983. At the SdF, composers produced music and sound effects for radio dramas, television documentaries, stage and film operas, and musical works for concert audiences. Much research on the SdF centers on the art-music outputs of a select group of internationally prestigious Italian composers (namely Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Luigi Nono), offering limited windows into the social life, technological everyday, and collaborative discourse that characterized the institution during its nearly three decades of continuous operation. This preference reflects a larger trend within postwar electronic music histories to emphasize the production of a core group of intellectuals—mostly art-music composers—at a few key sites such as Paris, Cologne, and New York. Through close archival reading, I reconstruct the social conditions of work in the SdF, as well as ways in which changes in its output over time reflected changes in institutional priorities at RAI.

  • Diodato Biografia
    DIODATO BIOGRAFIA Diodato esordisce discograficamente nell’aprile 2013 con “E forse sono pazzo” (Le Narcisse Records/Goodfellas). Il disco suscita immediatamente interesse e viene recensito ottimamente su diverse testate nazionali (La Repubblica XL, Il Mucchio, Il Messaggero). I primi singoli estratti vengono trasmessi da numerose emittenti radiofoniche e con la rivisitazione di “Amore che vieni, amore che vai” di Fabrizio De Andrè, contenuta nell'album, Diodato partecipa alla colonna sonora del film di Daniele Luchetti "Anni felici" con Kim Rossi Stuart e Micaela Ramazzotti presentato in anteprima al Festival Internazionale del Film di Toronto. Nel febbraio 2014 Diodato partecipa al 64esimo Festival di Sanremo nella categoria “Nuove proposte” con la canzone “Babilonia”. Le esibizioni al Teatro Ariston lo portano a conquistare il secondo posto nella classifica generale e i complimenti della giuria di qualità, presieduta dal regista Paolo Virzì, che ha dichiarato: “In mezzo a loro (i concorrenti) c’è un genio, Diodato, che purtroppo non è stato premiato né dalla critica né dal voto popolare. Io gli avrei dato tutto, gli avrei messo in braccio Laetitia Casta”. Anche Mina su Vanity Fair ha citato il brano considerandolo uno dei migliori di tutto il festival. Nel marzo del 2014 Diodato viene scelto dalla trasmissione televisiva di Rai 3 “Che Tempo che Fa“ come ospite fisso. Ogni domenica in collegamento per dodici puntate con le sue “canzoni in un minuto”, rende omaggio ai grandi artisti della musica italiana (come Sergio Endrigo, Domenico Modugno, Mina, Luigi Tenco e Bruno Lauzi) proponendo alcune delle più belle canzoni di sempre. Il Primo Maggio partecipa nella sua Taranto al grande concerto per la Festa del Lavoro in compagnia di nomi illustri come Vinicio Capossela, Afterhours, Caparezza, 99 Posse e molti altri.

  • Luigi Tenco, Solo Un Uomo Venerdì 18 Maggio 2012 00:00
    Luigi Tenco, solo un uomo Venerdì 18 Maggio 2012 00:00 Luigi Tenco nasce alle 14 del 21 marzo 1938 a Cassine, in provincia di Alessandria. Viene alla luce in casa, in corso Garibaldi 10, da Teresa Zoccola, vedova di Giuseppe Tenco, trovato morto nella stalla il 21 settembre 1937, ucciso, forse ubriaco, dal calcio di una mucca alla tempia durante la mungitura: non fu eseguita autopsia, nonostante le richieste di un parente. I congiunti che avevano denunciato la morte al podestà di Maranzana, dichiararono essere avvenuta alle due del 21 settembre, ma s’erano presentati all’autorità solo alle 17.30 del giorno successivo. • I primi anni di Tenco trascorrono tra Cassine, Ricaldone e Maranzana. La famiglia è composta da: mamma Teresa (che gestisce una pensione), molto bella, spesso oggetto di pettegolezzi tra paesani; lo zio Giovanni, fratello di Teresa e capo della famiglia, commerciante in vini; un altro fratello di Teresa, disabile; i nonni molto anziani; un fratellino più grande di nove anni, di nome Valentino, tenuto in collegio a Varazze. Gli Zoccola, benestanti, possiedono una fornace. A Ricaldone vivono in una casa bianca, a tre piani, con cortile e pergola di vite, una stalla e la rimessa per il barroccio. • A un certo punto Luigi Tenco scopre di essere un figlio illegittimo. Glielo dice un adulto del paese. Il vero padre era, ai tempi dell’incontro con Teresa, uno studente di dieci anni più giovane. Saputo della nascita del bambino, aveva più volte chiesto di riconoscerlo, ottenendo l’ostinato rifiuto dei genitori di lei. Sposerà un’altra donna e non avrà altri figli.

  • Evoluzione Della Musica Italiana 2
    Evoluzione della musica italiana 2 Gli anni Sessanta o, se preferite, i "mitici" anni Sessanta come spesso molti amano definirli, hanno rappresentato certamente il decennio caratterizzato dal più importante rinnovamento generazionale che il secolo scorso abbia mai visto. Gli eventi S socio-politici e culturali di quegli anni avrebbero infatti i t u a inevitabilmente influenzato e modificato profondamente z i o n valori, aspirazioni e stile di vita delle future generazioni. Prima e s o la beat generation e in seguito la musica pop, diventano il c i o - nuovo modo di espressione dei giovani, che si identificano p o l i sempre di più nei loro idoli musicali. Sono gli anni in cui si t i c affermano i media, la cultura pop e la minigonna, che fa a emergere una nuova figura femminile che abbandona gradualmente l'etichetta formale in favore di una maggiore espressione di libertà. Nella prima parte del decennio L'Italia risente ancora dei benefici del boom economico, che favorisce le attività economiche ed il progresso della tecnologia. Sono sempre di più gli Italiani che scendono nelle piazze per manifestare i loro ideali politici ed esprimere il proprio dissenso; proprio le piazze saranno teatro, qualche anno più tardi, verso la fine del decennio, delle grandi contestazioni giovanili che culmineranno nella grande rivoluzione culturale del '68. I primi Cantautori La contrapposizione fra melodici e urlatori non ebbe ne vincitori ne vinti. Il vero elemento di novità, negli anni sessanta, fu costituito da un gruppo di musicisti che prendevano a modello gli chansonniers (cantautori) francesi le cui canzoni parlavano un linguaggio più aderente alla realtà e nello stesso tempo recuperavano alcuni aspetti della tradizione popolare.

  • A Review of Famous Songs of the Past 'Fascinating Facts' July 2020
    A Review of Famous Songs of the Past ‘Fascinating Facts’ July 2020 Track 1 It’s Now Or Never A song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1960. The melody of the song is adapted from the Italian 'O Sole Mio", but the inspiration for it came from the song, "There's No Tomorrow" recorded by U.S. singer, Tony Martin, in 1949. In the late 1950s, while stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, Presley heard Martin's recording. He told his music publisher about the song. He found songwriters, Schroeder and Gold, who wrote the lyrics in half an hour. Selling more than 20 million records, the song became number one in countries all around the world and was Presley's best selling single ever and it was written in half an hour! Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is commonly known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King". Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
