BBC Four presents Synth Brittania

January 3rd, 2011 § Leave a Comment

Someone recently tipped me to this amazing piece by the UK’s BBC Four and I’ve spent a good bit of the holidays watching (and re-watching) it. Synth Brittania is a Documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage.

In the late 1970s, small pockets of electronic artists including the Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire were inspired by Kraftwerk and JG Ballard and dreamt of the sound of the future against the backdrop of bleak, high-rise Britain.

The crossover moment came in 1979 when Gary Numan’s appearance on Top of the Pops with Tubeway Army’s Are Friends Electric heralded the arrival of synthpop. Four lads from Basildon known as Depeche Mode would come to own the new sound whilst post-punk bands like Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo took the synth out of the pages of the NME and onto the front page of Smash Hits.

By 1983, acts like Pet Shop Boys and New Order were showing that the future of electronic music would lie in dance music.

Contributors include Philip Oakey, Vince Clarke, Martin Gore, Bernard Sumner, Gary Numan and Neil Tennant.

Revisiting the world’s most important six second drum loop

January 3rd, 2011 § 1 Comment


This audio/video installation project was produced in 2004 by Nate Harrison as part of an installation project “that unfolds a critical perspective of perhaps the most sampled drum beat in the history of recorded music, the Amen Break.” This 17 minute audio documentary delivers a lot of history and is highly recommended if you haven’t seen/heard this work. Harrison (who is on the faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) takes an academic approach to the material and gets a lot deeper than you’d imagine in under 20 minutes. By the end he’s quoting Lawrence Lessig and using the Amen Break as an example of why laws surrounding sampling are faulty. Great stuff. Below is a piece that Harrison created in 2005 celebrating the mythic Roland TB-303.
