Le infinite vite delle fotografie: l’ecologia delle immagini di Joachim Schmid
2015
The turn from analogue to digital photography requires rethinking the heuristic potential of this medium: in the last century, it was produced countless photos and we lost the sense of them. What should we do with all these pictures? Joachim Schimd reflects on the abundance and proliferation of images and he works to give them a future in the age when digital technology changes our sense of what it means to take a picture. So we need an ecology of images which consists in the re-use of all the existing photos by an aesthetics of remix able to reorganize the sense of the images.
“Waiting for the Bass to Drop”: Correlations Between Intense Emotional Experiences and Production Techniques in Build-up and Drop Sections of Electro…
2014
This study investigates the correlations between theories of intense emotional experiences and production techniques used in the electronic dance music (EDM) sections “build-up” and “drop”, which are designed to build tension and create a heightened emotional intensity among clubbers. This is done by descriptive and interpretive music analysis, where spectrograms and a schematic model visually represent the dominant production techniques. Through a theoretical framework consisting of musical expectancy and gravity, the analysis suggests that i) extensive use of uplifters, ii) the “drum roll effect”, iii) large frequency changes, iv) removal and reintroduction of bass and bass drum and v) a …
Report on the 10th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus17)
2018
The 10th annual International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus) took place on September 13–15, 2017, at Queen Mary University of London (UoL). The SysMus series has established itself as an international, student-run conference series aimed at introducing graduate students to networking and discussing their work in an academic conference environment. The term “Systematic Musicology,” first coined by Guido Adler (1885), nowadays covers a wide range of systematic or empirical approaches to theoretical, psychological, neuroscientific, ethnographic, and computational methodologies in music research. Presentations for SysMus17 focused on three central topics in relation t…
Música medieval al més enllà
2007
According to the Middle Ages anthropomorphic and anachronical conception, in the other world -in heaven and in hell- they play, listen and dance different musics, vochal and instrumental, mystical hymns or torture shapes. There is too a defined and giving legitimation liturgycal and musical collaboration between heaven and earth’s church, which devils try to sabotage. And different heavenly and hellish attitudes, from pleasure to absolut condemnation, towards human musicians and musics.
¿Música o magia? La presentación de las ondas musicales de Maurice Martenot en España
2015
On 1928, the French musician Maurice Martenot presented at Paris Opera a new electronic musical instrument which he called musical waves. It had success like only a few and attracted the interest of the composers, Martenot strove to spread it with a initial tour that took it all around the world between 1931 and 1932. From the information given by the press –because there are not more references– this article aims to rebuild the presentation of the instrument in Spain all along 1932, to report about the reception by the review and to justify the mystery that involved the instrument because of its unknown electronic running and its performance only with the hands movement on the air.En 1928,…
Performing sound of the past: Remix in electronic dance music culture
2014
The term remix, defined as an activity of taking data from pre-existing materials to combine them into new forms according to personal taste, relates to various elements and areas of contemporary culture. Whichever model used, consideration of the remix depends on recognition of pre-existing cultural codes. Therefore, as a second layer, the remix relies on the authority of the original and it functions at the meta-level. The audience may see a trace of history with the pre-existing object and the meaning creates in the viewer(s), reader(s), listener(s) or, in the contemporary world of DJs and popular electronic dance music culture - in dancer(s). With the aim of specifying modes of creating…
Nuevas formas de llevar una ópera al teatro. Un caso de estudio. La flauta mágica de la compañía 1927 y de Kosky: animación 2d, nuevas tecnologías di…
2017
La ópera, un género que a menudo se asocia al pasado, está más viva que nunca. Gracias a la aportación de directores y experimentadores provenientes del teatro, la ópera se ha convertido en uno de los campos por excelencia para la experimentación contemporánea, sobre todo en relación con el uso de nuevas tecnologías. Una verdadera paradoja. Un ejemplo es la puesta en escena de La flauta mágica de Mozart de la Komische Oper de Berlín, concebida y realizada por la compañía británica 1927 y por el director australiano Barrie Kosky en 2012. Es una representación atípica y extraña que utiliza las nuevas tecnologías del “video project mapping” y, al mismo tiempo, las técnicas de animación 2D —dib…
Desanimado, un corto de Emilio Martí López
2012
<p><em>Desanimado</em> es un cortometraje de 7 minutos, realizado durante 2010 y 2011, que reflexiona con tono cómico sobre la diferencia, apoyándose en el subtexto de la diversidad sexual, y sobre el propio medio animado. Además, está realizado en la Universitat Politècnica, pues su autor, Emilio Martí López, ideó el cortometraje mientras cursaba el Máster en Producción Artística, tutorizado por el profesor Miquel Guillem. En este artículo, escrito por alguien muy cercano al director, destacamos sus características principales, y algunos puntos clave de su exitosa trayectoria una vez que ha empezado a rodar por festivales y certámenes bien variados.</p>
El carnaval de los animales: Animar (el sexo) en pareja. Una revisión del imaginario sexual a partir del humor irreverente
2012
<p>Ahora que el Movimiento Feminista ya está mucho más asumido en la sociedad y las mujeres se van apropiando del medio animado como autoras, se están empezando a mostrar otras visiones que hacen burla de los arquetipos, reinventando lo que se cuenta y cómo se cuenta. <em>El carnaval de los animales </em>(Michaela Pavlátová, 2006) es una muestra de esta nueva dinámica en la que se reivindica el deseo sexual de manera divertida e irreverente. Es un <em>contradiscurso </em>además realizado en pareja, pues su marido Vratislav Hlavatý, ilustrador de exquisito humor obsceno, participó en esta producción animada. De esta manera, no tratamos de apuntar que la mujer po…
La figurazione dello spazio architettonico di Gaspare De Fiore
2017
Dal 1967, anno in cui Gaspare De Fiore pubblicò La figurazione dello spazio architettonico, ad oggi sono trascorsi esattamente 50 anni, eppure l’opera conserva la medesima fresca attualità che fu possibile rilevare leggendola per la prima volta durante gli anni della nostra formazione. Nell’affrontare il problema dello spazio architettonico De Fiore distingue tra la sua ideazione e la sua rappresentazione, segnatamente affrontando il secondo argomento da molteplici punti di vista e lungo un arco temporale che abbraccia l’intera storia dell’uomo, dalla pittura preclassica all’arte contemporanea, passando attraverso la rappresentazione dell’architettura in epoca romana, le dinamiche concettua…
