Postcolonial Repercussions
The anthology gathers heterogeneous approaches to emancipatory forms of ontological listening as well as pleas for critical fabulation and a practice of care. It tells us about opportunities, perspectives and the (im)possibility of decolonised listening.
Translating HipHop
"This common "language" has given rise to a virtual "Hip Hop nation". At the same time, local scenes have developed completely different styles, slangs and codes, which in turn require translation. This is where Translating Hip Hop comes in: it celebrates Hip Hop and translation in the same measure. MCs from Bogotá, Beirut, Nairobi, Berlin and Manila have been working together on Rap translations into their respective languages since February 2011, taking part, among other things, in workshops in all four cities. In two concert evenings during the festival, they present their Babylonian performances. The congress brings together international artists, activists, and Hip Hop experts for a series of performances, lectures, talks and films."--Translating Hip-Hop website.
post_PRESETS
Populäres Musikmachen hat heute seltener etwas mit Holzschlitztrommeln oder Streichinstrumenten zu tun, sondern vor allem irgendetwas mit elektrischem oder digitalem Daten-Strom. Kulturalisierte und rassistische Repräsentationen sind damit als Probleme aber keineswegs automatisch aus zeitgenössischer Musikproduktion und auch nicht aus den MusikmachDingen herausgerechnet – im Gegenteil: Johannes Ismaiel-Wendt zeigt, wie sich stereotype Voreinstellungen beispielsweise in Drum Machines, Digital Audio Workstations, Livelooping-Techniken, Urheberrechten oder in Erzählungen zur Geschichte von Electronic Dance Music ganz analog zu kolonialen und nationalen Denkrastern vererben. An Schnittstel...
Musikformulare und Presets
Prozesse des Musizierens und der Musikproduktion sind durchdrungen von formalen Vorgaben und Vor-Einstellungen (Pre-sets), die in Köpfen und Technologien gerastert und geregelt werden. Musikalische Ereignisse sind geradezu umzingelt und werden hervorgebracht durch zugrunde gelegte Formulare: Notations-, Speicher-, Wiedergabesysteme und -formate wirken als gelernte und/oder apparative Verfahren stark bestimmend. Obwohl formale Vorgaben und technologische Voreinstellungen fundamentale Wissensorganisatoren sind, verschwinden sie – manchmal buchstäblich als Masken bezeichnet – hinter irgendetwas, das nur noch als bedeutende Musiken erscheint. Dieser Sammelband vereint kulturwissenschaftlich informierte, musikwissenschaftliche Beiträge über Musiknotation, Eurorack-Synthesizer, Musiksoftware, Blueprints für Musikgeschichte, Bedienungsanleitungen, Grooveboxen, Drum Machines, MIDI Controller, Tonträger, Band Set-ups ...
Postcolonial Studies Across the Disciplines
Bringing together contributions from various disciplines and academic fields, this collection engages in interdisciplinary dialogue on postcolonial issues. Covering African, anglophone, Romance, and New-World themes, linguistic, literary, and cultural studies, and historiography, music, art history, and textile studies, the volume raises questions of (inter)disciplinarity, methodology, and entangled histories. The essays focus on the representation of slavery in the transatlantic world (the USA, Jamaica, Haiti, and the wider Caribbean, West Africa, and the UK). Drawing on a range of historical sources, material objects, and representations, they study Jamaican Creole, African masks, knitted ...
Perspectives on German Popular Music
In this book, native popular musicologists focus on their own popular music cultures from Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the first time: from subcultural to mainstream phenomena; from the 1950s to contemporary acts. Starting with an introduction and two chapters on the histories of German popular music and its study, the volume then concentrates on focused, detailed and yet concise close readings from different perspectives (including particular historical East and West German perspectives), mostly focusing on the music and its protagonists. Moreover, these analyses deal with very original specific genres such as Schlager and Krautrock as well as transcultural genres such as Punk or Hip Hop. There are additional chapters on characteristically German developments within music media, journalism and the music industry. The book will contribute to a better understanding of German, Austrian and Swiss popular music, and will interconnect international and especially Anglo-American studies with German approaches. The book, as a consequence, will show close connections between global and local popular music cultures and diverse traditions of study.
Rethinking the Musical Instrument
This volume brings together scholars and artist-researchers to explore the nature and function of musical instruments in creative practices, and their role in musical culture. Through historical, theoretical, critical, practical-artistic perspectives and case studies, the contributors here examine identities and affordances of acoustical, electronic and digital musical instruments, the kinds of relationships that composers and performers establish with them, and the crucial role they play in the emergence of musical experiences and meanings.
Managing Culture
This book provides new insights into the relationship of the field of arts and cultural management and cultural rights on a global scale. Globalisation and internationalisation have facilitated new forms for exchange between individuals, professions, groups, localities and nations in arts and cultural management. Such exchanges take place through the devising, programming, exhibition, staging, marketing, and administration of project activities. They also take place through teaching and learning within higher education and cultural institutions, which are now internationalised practices themselves. With a focus on the fine, visual and performing arts, the book positions arts and cultural management educators and practitioners as active agents whose decisions, actions and interactions represent how we, as a society, approach, relate to, and understand ourselves and others. This consideration of education and practice as socialisation processes with global, political and social implications will be an invaluable resource to academics, practitioners and students engaging in arts and cultural management, cultural policy, cultural sociology, global and postcolonial studies.
Independent Music and Digital Technology in the Philippines
In the first in-depth investigation into the independent music scene in the Philippines, Monika E. Schoop exposes and portrays the as yet unexplored restructurings of the Philippine music industries, showing that digital technologies have played an ambivalent role in these developments. Based on extensive fieldwork online and offline, the book explores the diverse and innovative music production, distribution, promotion and financing strategies that have become constitutive of the independent music scene in twenty-first-century Manila.
