Abstract

Ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der sich formierenden »Concert Studies«: Musik- und Kulturwissenschaftlerinnen, Kultursoziologen, Ökonominnen und Praktiker diskutieren das Konzertwesen über Disziplinengrenzen hinweg und befragen es hinsichtlich seiner Historie sowie seiner aktuellen und zukünftigen Entwicklungen. Zu den Themen gehören u.a. das Ausbildungssystem, die Konzertbesucherinnen, der Konzertbetrieb, Musikästhetik und Akustik, die Weiter- und Neuentwicklung der Konzertprogramme und Konzertformate. Der Band führt »Das Konzert. Neue Aufführungskonzepte für eine klassische Form« (2. Auflage 2011) mit zahlreichen neuen Themen fort. »›Das Konzert‹ setzt lesens- und nachdenkenswerte Akzente und vermag mit seinem Blick sowohl in dem klassischen, etablierten wie auch dem zeitgenössischen, freien Musikbetrieb einigen Input zu geben.« Peter Motzkus, Die Tonkunst, 3/13 (2019) »Hier liegt ein wichtiges, interessantes, insgesamt sehr lesenswertes Buch vor, das viele Anregungen und Impulse liefert.« Felicitas Irene Birckenbach, www.kulturmanagement.net, 26.06.2019 »Jeder, der im Konzertbetrieb tätig und damit auch für dessen weitere Entwicklung verantwortlich ist, wird in dieser Publikation zahlreiche Anregungen und Impulse finden.« Gerald Mertens, das Orchester, 12 (2018) »Ein perspektivenreicher Überblick.« Neue Musikzeitung, 10 (2018) O-Ton: »Zwischen Anspruch und Event« - Martin Tröndle diskutierte am 14.08.2018 bei SWR2 Forum über die Zukunft des klassischen Konzertes.

Abstract

In diesem Planungsleitfaden dokumentiert die renommiete Lichtplanerin Ulrike Brandi die Summe ihrer Erkenntnisse zu den Themen Lichtplanung, Tageslicht, Nachhaltigkeit und gesunde Lebensräume. Ganzheitliche Lichtplanung in Zeiten fortschreitender Technisierung durchzusetzen, ist eine Herausforderung, aber auch der richtige Schritt in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit im Umgang mit Licht und Energie. Die renommierte Lichtplanerin Ulrike Brandi bringt diese Haltung auf eine einfache Formel: „Von Anfang an gut zu belichten, ist besser, als nachträglich zu beleuchten." Der Leitfaden LICHT NATUR ARCHITEKTUR beweist, wie wichtig, aber auch einfach es ist, natürliches Licht in die Planung und Gestaltung gesunder und wohltuender Lebens- und Arbeitswelten zu integrieren. Das reich illustrierte und nach natürlichen Lichtphänomenen gegliederte Handbuch vereint den Erfahrungsschatz von Ulrike Brandi sowie theoretische Grundlagen und Entwurfsmethoden zu einem Nachschlagewerk und einer vielfältigen Inspirationsquelle. Reich illustriertes Grundlagenwerk für ganzheitliche Lichtplanung Einblick in die umfassende Praxiserfahrung und die individuelle Herangehensweiseder renommierten Lichtplanerin Ulrike Brandi Inspirationsquelle für Fachplanende, Architekturschaffende und Laien Erhältlich auf Englisch und Deutsch (Licht Natur Architektur, ISBN 9783035624083) In this planning guide, the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi documents all her findings on the topics of lighting design, daylight, sustainability and healthy living spaces. It is a challenge to create holistic lighting design in times of advancing mechanization, but it is the right thing to do in terms of achieving sustainability in the use of light and energy. The renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi explains this attitude with the words, “It’s better to make the most of natural light from the start, rather than compensating with artificial light afterwards”. The guideline Light Nature Architecture proves how essential, but also simple, it is to integrate natural light into architectural planning and thus into the design of healthy and pleasant living and working environments. This richly illustrated handbook is structured based on natural light phenomena and combines Ulrike Brandi’s wealth of experience, theoretical principles, and design methods to create a reference work and source of inspiration. Richly illustrated basic work for holistic lighting design Insight into the extensive practical experience and the individual approach of the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi Source of inspiration for professional planners, architects and laypeople Available in English and German (Licht Natur Architektur, ISBN 9783035624083)

Abstract

"Playing to the Crowd explores and explains how the rise of digital communication platforms has transformed artist-fan relationships into something more intimate. Through in-depth interviews with musicians such as the Cure, UB40, and Throwing Muses, Nancy K. Baym reveals how new media has facilitated connections through the active participation of both the artists and their devoted digital fan base. Before the rise of online sharing and user-generated content, audiences were mostly seen as undifferentiated masses, often mediated through record labels and the press. Today, musicians and fans have built more active relationships through social media, fan sites, and artist sites, giving them a new sense of intimacy, while offering artists unparalleled access to and information about their audiences. But this comes at a price. For audiences, meeting their heroes can kill the mystique. And for artists, maintaining active relationships with so many people can be labor intensive and emotionally draining. Drawing on her own rich history as a deeply connected music fan, Baym offers an entirely new approach to media culture, arguing that the work musicians put into maintaining these intimate relationships reflects the demands of the gig economy, one which requires resources and strategies that we all music come to recognize"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

This is the story of Zev Yaroslavsky, a young social activist, who became one of Los Angeles' most powerful and consequential elected officials, taking on established power brokers and sparking major reforms in policing, transit, land use and fiscal policies. "I may be a part of the establishment," he said when first sworn into office, "but the establishment is not part of me.".

Abstract

";...the best extant map of our sonic shadowlands, and it has changed how I listen.";-Alex Ross, The New Yorker ";...an essential survey of contemporary music.";-New York Times ";...sharp, provacative and always on the money. The listening list alone promises months of fresh discovery, the main text a fresh new way of navigating the world of sound.";-The Wire 2017 Music Book of the Year-Alex Ross, The New YorkerMusic after the Fall is the first book to survey contemporary Western art music within the transformed political, cultural, and technological environment of the post-Cold War era. In this book, Tim Rutherford-Johnson considers musical composition against this changed backdrop, placing it in the context of globalization, digitization, and new media. Drawing connections with the other arts, in particular visual art and architecture, he expands the definition of Western art music to include forms of composition, experimental music, sound art, and crossover work from across the spectrum, inside and beyond the concert hall. Each chapter is a critical consideration of a wide range of composers, performers, works, and institutions, and develops a broad and rich picture of the new music ecosystem, from North American string quartets to Lebanese improvisers, from electroacoustic music studios in South America to ruined pianos in the Australian outback. Rutherford-Johnson puts forth a new approach to the study of contemporary music that relies less on taxonomies of style and technique than on the comparison of different responses to common themes of permission, fluidity, excess, and loss.

Abstract

Satisfactory acoustics is crucial for the ability of spaces such as auditoriums and lecture rooms to perform their primary function. The acoustics of dwellings and offices greatly affects the quality of our life, since we are all consciously or subconsciously aware of the sounds to which we are daily subjected. Architectural acoustics, which encompasses room and building acoustics, is the scientific field that deals with these topics and can be defined as the study of generation, propagation, and effects of sound in enclosures. Modeling techniques, as well as related acoustic theories for accurately calculating the sound field, have been the center of many major new developments. In addition, the image conveyed by a purely physical description of sound would be incomplete without regarding human perception; hence, the interrelation between objective stimuli and subjective sensations is a field of important investigations. A holistic approach in terms of research and practice is the optimum way for solving the perplexing problems which arise in the design or refurbishment of spaces, since current trends in contemporary architecture, such as transparency, openness, and preference for bare sound-reflecting surfaces are continuing pushing the very limits of functional acoustics. All the advances in architectural acoustics gathered in this Special Issue, we hope that inspire researchers and acousticians to explore new directions in this age of scientific convergence.
