Netaudio Tip: Thomas Wincek - Extended Techniques

swen — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:16:53 GMT

"A variety of playing techniques were employed (bowing the mandolin with dental floss, hitting the strings with chopsticks, rubbing the back of the thumb piano with a damp cloth, and over-blowing the reeds of a melodica to name a few). Digital processing also plays a role. But whether it’s granular synthesis on bowed strings or fitting hits of a ukulele into a groove pattern, the aim is to enhance the original sound source rather than to obscure it."

Schnittstellen - Brennpunkte der Gesellschaft

Teil 1: Migration und Integration
dradio.de: "Wie gehen wir mit Fremden um? Wie lassen sich Minderheiten in die Gesellschaft einbinden? Im Gespräch mit der Psychoanalytikerin Margarete Mitscherlich-Nielsen werden Möglichkeiten der Integration von Fremden und Fremdem in unsere Gesellschaft diskutiert: Verstehen und Zuwendung statt Ausgrenzung und Strafe." Weiter

Teil 2: Erinnern und Vergessen
dradio.de: ""Schnittstellen" ist unsere neue Gesprächsserie überschrieben, in der wichtige Brennpunkte der Gesellschaft diskutiert werden. In dem nun folgenden Gespräch mit der Literaturwissenschaftlerin Aleida Assmann geht es um die Bedeutung des historischen Bewusstseins und des Erinnerns für die Demokratie: Kulturelles Gedächtnis statt Verdrängung." Weiter

Teil 3: Politik und Religion
dradio.de: "Im Gespräch mit dem Soziologen Ulrich Beck geht es um die Rolle der Gewalt in der Religion und die Chancen eines friedlichen Umgangs miteinander. Ausgangspunkt ist der fundamentale Widerspruch von Religionen, das Prinzip der Friedfertigkeit zum Schlüssel des eigenen Selbstverständnisses zu erheben, aber ebenso immer wieder zur Zerklüftung der Gesellschaft beizutragen."

"Alex Fitch and Duncan Nott talk to one of Britain’s most popular and critically acclaimed comic book writers who’s famous for such mildly controversial titles as Preacher and The Boys, both of which are probably going to be adapted for the small and big screens in the not too distant future. Having worked for the main US publishers: Marvel and DC comics, Garth Ennis has started to take his projects to small companies such as Avatar and Dynamite while in terms of British characters, he’s also written the likes of Judge Dredd for 2000AD and Dan Dare for Virgin comics."

Mauricio Kagel - Der Schall - Side 1

guardian.co.uk: "Mauricio Kagel's death (September 18, 2008), at the age of 76, is a huge blow for contemporary music. First of all, there's the shock of the news – Kagel was hugely active as composer, teacher, and inspirational figurehead for generations of musicians, and he was due to take part in a major retrospective of his music in Frankfurt this weekend – and the knowledge that music has lost one of its most important and ironic consciences."

Music tastes link to personality

swen — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 08:14:49 GMT

Musical tastes and personality type are closely related, according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world.

The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University, is said to be the largest such study ever undertaken.

It suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal aficionados were gentle and at ease with themselves.

One of the most surprising things is the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal. They're both creative and at ease but not outgoing." Read on

dradio.de: "Die Arbeit im Iran läuft gut. Die eigenen Vorurteile halten nicht lange, etwa dieses: "In einem streng islamischen Land ist Musik ein Problem, wie soll es da glückliche Musiker geben?" In Wirklichkeit hat Teheran ein enormes musikalisches Potenzial - trotz der engen roten Linien, die der Staat zieht. Rock, Pop, Rap, Heavy Metal, Traditionsmusik, Klassik, Fusion: Alles ist da. Die Rockband 'DA-SH', die in Osnabrück beim Festival auftritt, treffe ich im Keller. Mehr Untergrund geht nicht. Ein winziger Probenraum tief unter der Straße, drei gut gelaunte Musiker."

Black rights, copyright, recycling and the right to listen

swen — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 08:12:30 GMT

Radio ABC: "'Get up, Stand up', the 1973 reggae song made famous by The Wailers is a nagging provocation to continue struggling for personal or group rights in an unjust world. But just what are 'rights' - who holds them, who's being denied them and who benefits from getting rights? Using everything from dubstep, hiphop and baile funk to speeches by the Black Panthers, Lawrence Lessig and George W Bush, Prince Nod dubs through the music and voices of the civil rights and music rights movements to find the two are connected today more than ever before.
