Fotos von Kirchenorgeln
Schöne Galerie hier. Bestes Beispiel für die visuell-ästhetische Qualität, die Instrumente haben können.

Papierorgel #2
Kürzlich hatte ich hier die selbstgebastelte Papierorgel, des weiteren gibt es eine solche von T. Demand.

Für Demands Installation >Vorhang< im Städel Museum Frankfurt habe ich vorletztes Jahr einen künstlerischen Audioguide gemacht.
(Danke für den Tipp, Leopold!)
More Musical Genre Maps
Wieder mal was zum Überblicken:
Die Map of Alternative Music:
http://www.wearedorothy.com/shop/alternative-love-blueprint-a-history-of-alternative-music
Our Alternative Love Blueprint celebrates over 300 musicians, artists, managers and producers who (in our opinion) have been pivotal to the evolution of the alternative and independent music scene from Bill Hayley & His Comets whose 1950’s Rock Around the Clock became the first ever anthem for a rebellious youth to the DIY ethic of present day bands like Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead.
Die Music-Map:
Nerdcore schreibt dazu:
In dieser Visualisierung sieht man dank der Timeline sehr gut, wie musikalische Innovation ab der Jahrtausendwende abnimmt, vor allem im Rock-Bereich aus „Nu“-Kram und Revivals besteht, während sich bei den Elektronikern Minimal-Innovation breitmacht und die vielleicht einzige größere Innovation im Dubstep zu finden ist […].
Die einzigen Innovationen in den 2010ern scheinen Trap, Vaporwave und etwas namens Moombahton zu sein.
Experimentalpopmusikvideos
Mal was aus der experimentellen Pop-Ecke. Musikalisch wie visuell interessant.
Man beachte das obere Video, in dem (endlich!) mit dem Mythos „Popstars verwüsten Hotelzimmer“ gründlich aufgeräumt wird.

Mathemusik, jetzt mit Stream
Letztens hatte ich hier diese interessante Playlist mit Musik, die die meisten Menschen nicht Musik nennen würden, sondern bestenfalls verklanglichte Mathematik. Hurra! Der Kurator der Playlist Dean Rosenthal hat mich nach dem Blogpost kontaktiert (danke!) und auf einen existierenden Stream hingewiesen.
Hier jetzt also, zum mitzählen (und haltet Taschentücher für eure Tränen der Rührung bereit). Mein Favorit ist #7.

Memorizing the Tristan Chord
As any conscientious student from Hong Kong would tell you, one way to internalize an aural phenomenon is to make up a Cantonese phrase that replicates the pitch contour of the aural phenomenon in question. This method is effective for a range of academic pursuits, from foreign language pronunciation and musical passage memorization, to mathematical equation recitation.
[…]
Through an open call, I recruited Cantonese speakers from Hong Kong to invent Cantonese phrases that would map perfectly onto the pitch contour that leads up to and immediately follows the Tristan chord.
[…]
The texts that the participants came up with fall loosely into four categories: (1) auto-biographical statements, (2) haiku-like poetic expressions, (3) responses to the scenario of the interview itself, (4) lists of things. Phrases from categories 1 and 3 were often surprisingly personal and borderline Freudian. Participants brought their preoccupations into the process. Singing sessions turn into confessions of repressed desires.
