music | “ANOHNI: It’s Time To Feel What's Really Happening" - concert dates at Philharmonie de Paris For the first time in a decade, ANOHNI presents a concert with the Johnsons. Drawing from her new album My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross as well as songs from throughout her catalogue, ANOHNI issues a challenge to herself and to the world to Feel What's Really Happening.

Over two nights at the Philharmonie de Paris, ANOHNI will be joined by a 9 piece band including Julia Kent (cello), Maxim Moston, Doug Wieselman (multi-instrumentalist) and Jimmy Hogarth (guitarist/producer).

With music embracing a time of change and upheaval, ANOHNI issues a challenge to herself and to the world to Feel What's Really Happening.

Born in the UK and raised in Amsterdam and California, ANOHNI relocated to NYC in her late teens, forming her group in 1998 and establishing a unique path in music with a focus on animist and eco-feminist themes. ANOHNI's musical journey has spanned genres - from electronic experimental to avant-classical, dance, and soul. Achieving breakthrough success in 2005 with I Am a Bird Now (2005), she garnered the UK Mercury Music Prize. Notable releases since include The Crying Light (2009), Swanlights (2010), and live albums Cut The World (2012) and TURNING (2014). In 2016, she released the sharply political experimental electronic album HOPELESSNESS, produced by Hudson Mohawke and Daniel Lopatin. The same year, she received an Academy Award nomination for the environmentalist elegy, Manta Ray, featured in the film Racing Extinction (dir. Louie Psihoyos, 2015).

ANOHNI's sixth studio album, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross (2023), continues to model and encourage transformation in our ways of thinking about spirituality, societal structures, and our relationships with the biosphere. The record was named album of the year by The New Yorker. The artist reaches for courage, expression, resilience, and ceremony in the face of an unprecedented contemporary landscape, and emphasizes, “For me, there’s no heavenly respite; Creation is a spectral and feminine continuum, and we remain an inalienable part of Nature.”

Antony & The Johnsons

youtube

Gli Antony and the Johnsons sono un gruppo musicale di New York. Nato in Inghilterra, a Chichester, West Sussex nel 1971, Antony Hegarty si trasferì ad Amsterdam nel 1977 per 18 mesi prima di sistemarsi a San José (California) nel 1981. Negli Stati Uniti frequenta una scuola cattolica dove fa parte del coro. Al suo 11º compleanno gli viene regalata una tastiera Casio e si cimenta con le canzoni dei Soft Cell, Kate Bush e Yazoo. Da adolescente fu influenzato dal synth pop britannico, in particolare da cantanti come Marc Almond e Boy George. Attratto dal palcoscenico, frequenta la School for the Performing Arts di San José e l’Università della California a Santa Cruz. All’età di 18 anni mette in scena le prime performance, ispirate a John Waters e all’icona-guru Divine. Attratto dal mondo newyorchese degli anni ottanta, ispirato anche da personaggi come Joey Arias che cantava A Hard Day’s Night vestito da Billie Holiday, si trasferisce nella grande mela. Il “Mondo di New York” risulta essere più consono alla sua sensibilità artistica e alla sua ricerca espressiva incentrata sul tema dell’identità.

Nel 1990 Antony entra nella dimensione che più sente appartenergli, impersonando una drag queen ed esibendosi al Pyramid Club in guêpière, testa rasata e sigaretta fra le dita. Antony (con gli altri componenti del gruppo, i Blacklips) scrive scenari, canzoni, arrangiamenti ed entra in scena in tarda notte come Fiona Blue, drag queen e archetipo androgino ispirato da Klaus Nomi, Leigh Bowery e Diamanda Galas. Nello stesso periodo Antony si laurea in Teatro Sperimentale.

Nel 1995 Antony decide di dedicarsi completamente alla musica, dai Blacklips appena sciolti chiama il batterista Todd Cohen, che insieme a Joan Wasser e Maxim Moston ai violini, Jeff Langston al basso elettrico, Jason Hart al piano e Michele Schifferle ospite al violoncello, formano l’orchestra artefice dei raffinati arrangiamenti delle sue composizioni. Nascono così Antony and the Johnsons, nome ispirato a Marsha P. Johnson, il travestito newyorchese che nel 1970 fondò la casa di accoglienza per travestiti STAR, la cui tragica fine nel fiume Hudson sarà evocata in River Of Sorrow.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_and_the_Johnsons Antony and the Johnsons is a music group presenting the work of Antony Hegarty and her collaborators.

British experimental musician David Tibet of Current 93 heard a demo and offered to release Antony’s music through his Durtro label. Antony started the band, its name inspired by the transgender rights activist Marsha P. Johnson.[3] The debut album, Antony and the Johnsons, was released in 1998. In 2001, Hegarty released a short follow-up EP, I Fell in Love with a Dead Boy, which, in addition to the title track, included a cover of “Mysteries of Love”, a David Lynch/Angelo Badalamenti song and “Soft Black Stars”, a Current 93 cover.

Producer Hal Willner heard the EP and played it to Lou Reed, who immediately recruited Hegarty for his project The Raven. Now gaining more attention, Hegarty signed to US-based record label Secretly Canadian, and released another EP, The Lake, with Lou Reed guest-performing on one of the tracks. Secretly Canadian also re-released Hegarty’s debut album in the United States to wider distribution in 2004.

Antony’s second full-length album, 2005’s I Am a Bird Now, was greeted with positive reviews and significantly more mainstream attention. The album featured guest appearances by Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Boy George and Devendra Banhart, and circled themes of duality and transformation. I Am a Bird Now featured arrangements by Maxim Moston and Julia Kent and was mixed by Doug Henderson. In September 2005 Antony and the Johnsons were awarded the Mercury Prize or the best UK album of 2005. Rival Mercury nominees, and favorites for the prize, the Kaiser Chiefs suggested that Antony got in on a technicality; despite the fact she was born in the United Kingdom she spent much of her time in the US – although they later apologized for the suggestion that she wasn’t a deserving winner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_and_the_Johnsons

Julie & Julia (2009)

Biography, Drama, Romance |

Julie & Julia is a American comedy-drama film written and directed by Nora Ephron starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, and Chris Messina. The film contrasts the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days, a challenge she described on her popular blog that made her a published author.

Ephron’s screenplay is based on two books: My Life in France, Child’s autobiography written with Alex Prud’homme, and a memoir by Powell, Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Both of these books were written and published between 2004 and 2006.

Julia Child – 1950s

In the 1950s, Julia Child, an enthusiastic and unabashed woman, moves to Paris with her diplomat husband, Paul Child. She attends Le Cordon Bleu to learn French cooking, and is initially met with skepticism as she is the only woman in the class. Madame Elizabeth Brassart, the proprietress of the school and Child clash. She is undaunted however, and begins collaborating on a book about French cooking for American housewives with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle.

Julie Powell – 2002

In 2002, Julie Powell is a young writer with an unpleasant job at the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation’s call center, where she answers telephone calls from victims of the September 11 attacks and members of the general public complaining about the LMDC’s controversial plans for rebuilding the World Trade Center. She is discontented with this, and is disheartened at watching her acquaintances succeed in their own professions. She is happily married to Eric Powell, a writer for a magazine.

Director: Nora Ephron

Writers: Nora Ephron (screenplay), Julie Powell (book), Julia Child (book), Alex Prud’homme (book)

Stars: Amy Adams, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Chris Messina, Linda Emond, Helen Carey, Mary Lynn Rajskub

Luke Rathborne: Finding DIY Success in the Age of Streaming

Luke Rathborne: Finding DIY Success in the Age of Streaming: via LANDR Blog

Independent used to mean “can’t get signed” or “not good enough” or “no one will listen to me,” But with the enormous growth of streaming and a whole heap of tools that let artists make it on their own, ‘independent’ has become a badge of honor—And more importantly a sustainable career for music creators.

Luke Rathborne is an independent musician by choice. Why? Because in today’s music industry it simply makes sense…

The New-York-via-Maine singer songwriter serves an irresistible sound that captures the daydreams that float between the bedroom and the garage—A polished jangle that stays in your head long after the amp tubes have cooled.

But it’s Rathborne’s career arc as an independent artist that lets him make human and organic music. There are no walls between Rathborne and you, the listener. No go-betweens. Just him and his sound. His journey from Punk bands and college radio in Maine has led to a body of work that kept one vision in mind: Getting his music in front of as many people as possible on his own terms.

Rathborne has done just that. A combination of self-releasing, self-promotion, self-management and pretty much every other ‘self’ you can think of has let Rathborne keep control of his music and preserve the self behind the sound—Racking up over 10 million Spotify streams along the way. It’s DIY artists like Rathborne that inspired LANDR Promolinks—a tool that allows artist to share their streaming links on one simple page.

The present and future image of the modern independent musician could truly be drawn from Rathborne’s silhouette. We sat down with Rathborne to find out how he’s made it work, why your best asset is you, and how a new model for ‘making it’ is emerging from the streaming revolution.

Who are you, where are you from, and how did you get your start?

I grew up in Maine and played in punk bands from the age of twelve. I had access to a local college radio station and realized there was a recording studio in it as well. From there, I kinda got curious about recording music and wanted to do it. I realized that if I did a radio show it would give me access to go in the backroom and use the recording studio. I did that for the first record I ever made. It took me probably 2 years. That’s how I made my first record After Dark.

After I graduated High School I moved to New York and After Dark was the record I used to start off everything in my music career. From that point on I continued making and recording records all the time, with producers and sometimes contributing to other productions.

Is that where your DIY approach to music started then?

Yeah, fast forward from all that and I eventually started a label called True Believers that put out my record called Soft, and some other singles. That record did really well in what I’d call “the new platform of music:“ streaming and all those “new” ways of discovering and listening.

But to make all that work I’ve also done a lot of touring through Europe and the US. The more music I would release, the better ideas I would have of how to promote an album, how to tour an album, how to release an album, or just how you get people involved and listening.

I’d meet with A&Rs and label people, but it always ended up making more sense to just self-distribute and self-release. I’ve tried some different approaches, and released some stuff with other people, but I do find that I always come back to doing everything on my own in the end.

YOU inevitably have the most time for yourself. There’s different circumstances that come and go, but in the end as a musician I always felt like I was gonna do all that stuff for myself anyways.

"You’ll end up going further because you don’t have to rely on a hundred different people for what is ultimately up to you in the end.”

So you approach your music knowing that you’re always gonna be able to take the best care of yourself if you can put yourself in that position?

Absolutely, the psychology of only having yourself to rely on is so much different. You’ll end up going further because you don’t have to rely on a hundred different people for what is ultimately up to you in the end.

Your newest single was recorded at Philip Glass’ Studio. What was that process like and how did that come about?

Working at Looking Glass happened pretty organically. I came upon the studio while I was trying to get a microphone fixed. The tech was at the studio when I went to meet him so I fell into working there through that.

That’s also how I ended up working with the members of the Brooklyn Philharmonic. I really wanted Clarinets on a track. Through the contacts at the studio I was able to request a woodwind section. They said “here’s every clarinet player in the city” (laughs).

The musicians I was able to connect with from that list were some of the most amazing players in the world. Not just woodwind either, we ended up playing with Julia Kent on cello, Tahrah Cohen on drums and Maxim Moston on violin. Sessions like that. Those people are actual geniuses!

How do you think DIY distribution opens up possibilities for artists like yourself.

I think digital distribution has become the most important method of putting your music in front of an audience.

Physically distributing a release is important, but where are you going to physically distribute it to? It’s not gonna go to Tower Records anymore. Those days are over. It’s important for all musicians to start viewing digital as the most important pathway of distribution.

I think with LANDR there’s a stress on retaining your royalties, which is hugely important if you’re trying to make it on your own. A service like that is pivotal if you’re doing it yourself.

With streaming services, artists will start to find that it really is a whole new landscape, and that there is a way to monetize your music.

“The more music I would release, the better ideas I would have of how to promote an album, how to tour an album, how to release an album”

How did you make platforms like Spotify work for you? How would you explain that to a musician that aspires to the same goal?

A lot of the reason why I’ve always done my own releases and distribution is that you can encounter sooooo much rejection. You can choose to be defined by that rejection. But at the same time there’s always that voice inside me saying “I connect on this deeply enough where I know that other people will too.”

The problem with involving other people is that only you can understand that personal voice. Doing it on your own lets you trust the mentality that there’s something of value there that’s worth sharing.

I look at it like I’m just stepping over some sort of buffer or middle person that might end up telling you that you can’t do something, or that your art isn’t viable.

Doing my own label has always been about trusting the idea that artistic intuition has value. Coming into your music passionately believing in something that you made is always better than coming into it with a bunch of different priorities and motivations. In the end, you’re your own best asset.

It can finally be as simple as ‘you have to make really good music.’ It puts the focus back on the importance of creating and making music you believe in. You get to focus on the fans and finding ways to get your music in front of the people that care. That gets to be your job again!

“In the end, you’re your own best asset.”

Do you think taste and word of mouth has become more important then?

The fact music has been democratized that much is really exciting. That’s what I mean by you being your own best asset. Someone in a small venue is going to look at you, and they’re gonna see YOU. Not a middle person representing you. It’s much more human.

The democratization has become about good music over business. It’s a great time right now because of that. In the past “business” would take a priority over that real genuine human connection to music that we finally get to enjoy again.

So what’s the one key thing you’re trying to do on your own?

My goal has always been the same: Get the songs I’m doing in front of as many people as possible. I’ve always felt like certain songs, songs in back catalogues that I go back to, when I listen to them it’s always a healthy thing to do. I think that if those songs being available can help me, then my stuff being available to as many people as possible will give my music the best chance to help people as well.

It’s the idea of your self-expression, doing what you believe in and the opportunity for other people to respond to that. It’s not a crazy dream anymore to think you can sustain yourself off that connection. That’s the ultimate dream.

Today I can create a body of work, and know that there will be a record coming out next year, but in the immediate sense I can focus on releasing singles and playing with the formula of getting them in front of the people it will help the most.

I don’t know if it comes from punk music or something, but it gives me so much satisfaction to do something that someone said I couldn’t do. I focus on that so much. Streaming is almost the same as that 'F-U’ energy you get when some venue tells you they won’t do your show so you say “ok fine then we’ll rent a church and do the show there.”

Right now for releasing music there’s no rule-maker that can tell you where something should or shouldn’t go. You can define whatever you want.

That’s always going to be my ethos for better or worse: No limitations. Inevitably that will make you a true independent artist because it’s a very independent mindset. That approach just ends up meaning more to people. With the doors streaming has opened, you can make that mindset a career.

William Basinski w/ Maxim Moston

Today's very special update comes courtesy of the wonderful (not to mention thoughtlessly financially threatened) NPR. As a special 9/11 memorial performance held by the Wordless Music collective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Temple of Dendur, William Basinski's stunningly beautiful Disintegration Loops composition was accorded an orchestral arrangement by Maxim Moston. The results are breathtaking. A single, 40 minute piece for a large ensemble that begins like a lively city - flickers of melody over a gently repeating ('looping') sequence - and gradually, organically unwinds itself into the simplest variations.

The emotional weight of the performance itself is palpable even in this radio broadcast - the audience's stunned, silent response lasts like a held breath before any applause breaks out.

Heartstopping.
