And hosts them for all of us is basically the culmination of a dream, but there's a whole three-day festival that is worth living intensely in its best advantage. In music, of course, in the atmosphere all'His in days at sea and then shower and concerts, in dance under the stars until you stand up, in three beautiful days where you leave exhausted and happy.

Almost forgot

In short, I eventually forgot to report here on the blog that was released a month from now the first release of On2Sides (remember? it spoke here ) O2S 01, the first dedicated electronic samplers produced in Sardinia, in limited edition casket. The copies are running and probably the last chance to get one will be at Her I Stay Festival 2010, scheduled for 30 July 31 and August 1 at Club Sleepwalkers Guspini, where there will be a banquet of O2S with the tapes, the badges and T-shirts to match.

Now what are the next steps O2S? Meanwhile, two releases. A, O2S 02, will be another sampler dedicated time to the scene "rock, indie, garage, folk singer-songwriter and Sardinia. Very soon all the details with artwork and names of the bands involved. Then the first ep of Everybody Tesla Always in August - and from what I have done so far the kids can say that the album will come out really cool. You may also get a video in September, but do not say anything for good luck. Again, very soon all the details of the case and its release party.

On Repeat on the radio: March 2007 March 2010

On Repeat not be aired for five months. I stopped delivering quietly and without too many turns of phrase, referring only to the fact that I would take a pause for reflection after three years important - at least for me - which was born as a broadcast, without having any radio experience behind , ended up be a small point of reference for those who, in Sardinia, he wants to listen to music "other."
It must have been a little stop waiting to revive the program again with a completely new formula, but at some point I realized that - after all - it was a closed loop. There will I think soon, new radio projects that will build on the experience accumulated, mistakes and good things, but the season has ended On Repeat. And do not say this lightly - this broadcast had a huge importance in my experience, work and life.
I was uncertain whether to write a farewell post on occasions like this because I tend to get a little 'rhetorical, so I will just do a couple of thanks:
a) Urgu to Alberto, which brought me to a program after having exchanged only a few words. And of course thank all the staff of the radio.
b) to all the bands that have come to the studio guests. Under the guest list ...

c) persons who have contributed to success. Nicola Massa, who came a thousand times in the studio to record photographically what was happening in radio, Tostoini that has created two logos, which have made Arpxp Neeva and theme songs and jingles - and, in short, not to mention everyone, every single person who has contributed to a hand in the mess it has always been On Repeat. Even those who were in the studio only to assist and with whom there have been some of the best laughs of my life.
d) to the listeners. I know you were there too!
short, officially drops the curtain on On Repeat. To close copioincollo caption blog that is published in the transmission now sleep. On Repeat

On the Net eBooks

The advent dell'iPad has definitely changed the tables of the publishing market. If the first Italian publishers seemed a bit 'timid - to put it mildly - in front of the new eBook reading devices and related launched within the last years (Kindle down), now the Italian publishing whole is gearing up to compete in a market that is increasingly crucial in the coming years, within what the experts call it explicitly "the fourth revolution." The Mistral also of Nuoro has begun to gear up and a few days ago the news of the availability of a dozen books in the catalog within bookrepublic.it , an online store dedicated to independent publishers where you can buy eBooks - epub format - at affordable prices (even 40 or 50 percent less than on paper). Featured on the homepage of Francis Abbott's Gethsemane and Pick Of The Week The previously stationed in third place last winter Niffoi Savior. But there are also available Nothing Marcello Fois, Elias Mandreu After all, the first step in the wood of Alessandro De Rome, and even Todd, Angioni, Jacob, pending a full scan of the catalog of the house. We discussed the news with Joseph Podda, publisher of The Mistral. The debate on publishing digital
in Italy has been slow a lot ', while in the U.S. started the phenomenon is long overdue. Why the caution?
In reality the issue a long time ago. The problem is the hardware: it speaks of eBooks from the early 2000s but still there was a device able to offer a product to it. The advent of next-generation eBook reader has turned the table and here in Italy the iPad has given the final jolt. It was the revolution that was expected. More and more people buy iPad people want to buy the content with which to fill it. Now publishers are structuring their business to deliver that content.
and the Mistral how he arrived at the turn digital?
In all the newsrooms began to come calling for proposals from various stores to adhere to the online sale of books in the catalog. Who with mature projects, some fairly improvised. In the end we decided to join Bookrepublic, a store dedicated to small and medium sized publishers, not related to the large publishing groups. But bind to a store does not mean giving the exclusive: we will all those entering the market. Edigio start soon and the group also will launch its Mondadori.
One hypothesis is the possibility of the emergence of new hybrid literary-based multimedia convergence. Written texts that could be integrated with movies, soundtracks, images, interactive tools ...
Surely there will be a multimedia development. But reading a book needs a sacrifice, attention and love. It's not like the music: in the meantime you can listen and do something else. In reading the book, both on paper and electronic, must immerse themselves completely. Always will. Born interactive products, but those who love reading in itself - because it has the "vice" - will continue to read in the traditional way.
eBooks will tend to supplant the printed book. At that point, one possibility is that we start to focus even more on the book as object, to a niche audience, through a design and editorial nice thought just for the fans.
The paper book will never die, because there will always be readers who will want to have the book in his hands. There will always be collectors who seek some kind of binding or paper. The eBook will lead to a particular selection. Who will read a book in electronic form may wish to have them available in paper, creating a library of their favorite books. And then develop a creative marketing to make them still want the paper book.
Now that anyone can put in your eBook network will still need the ability to select a publisher, a guarantee of a certain "taste" and a certain editorial identity.
Publishers will not die, indeed. There will always need a choice upstream of the proposed editorial. Who knows The Mistral is more or less know what books we choose, according to the history of our brand and our catalog. Rather, who will enter into crisis, in the long run, will be the big printing houses.
The web provides a way for smaller publishers to compete better with large media groups. The niches on the net are of great importance.
The thing that comforts me, according to Amazon, is that the eBook market for about 56 percent of small and medium American publishing. In the traditional market is difficult to make inroads. About 85 percent of large libraries is in the hands of large publishing groups. On the web there is a lot more space. Referring to the American market, which has a longer history, we are confident in the more democratic of the book market on the net. Tramonte Andrea, now in Sarda

Sardinian Prehistory of cybercronisti. Journalism and new media, Sergio Maistrello

"What have you done the last time you felt an earthquake? A limited but growing share of answers to this question might be: I wrote once about Twitter. " And maybe not only wrote: those who were present may have taken a picture with an iPhone and have it immediately shared on Facebook or other social networks, and have shot a video posted on YouTube, or simply shared information that then began to circulate in a flow of information can provide a lively and meaningful - though perhaps emotional and subjective - an event like an earthquake. Often, even before the traditional media have failed to arrive on site and produce the first services, articles and insights. As for the guy who saw Janis Krums a plane floating in water, after ditching a perfectly successful while he was in the Hudson River in New York on board a ferry boat. The boy had the presence of mind to take pictures and immediately share them on Twitter. Before they spread the news of the rescue aircraft, the network was already a picture of the incident that ran in newsrooms around the world. An amateur content that became the first absolute source for newspapers and websites "professional."
some years now we have started to become familiar with concepts such as disintermediation, cross-media journalism, citizen journalists, e-books, Social networks, blogs. Are an important part of the landscape of journalism today and more will be in the future. Not only has the network changed many dynamics in depth - from publishing formats to use the news to the ends of the journalistic profession - but new technologies are opening new scenarios for the same newspaper circulation (iPhone and iPad, e-book reader and so etc.). "A shy prehistory of a new phase, yet to understand," says Sergio Maisano, journalist and expert on web, in a book just released by Apogee, "Journalism and New Media. The information at the time of the citizen journalist. " If this is only the pre-history, then understand the mechanisms underlying these changes is essential to bet on the future and to be prepared. Starting from a key assumption: "The Internet is the first major global medium-sized individual," says Maisano. "Where radio, TV and newspapers are addressed generically to the masses of people, inside the Internet each active node is a network for the exploration of knowledge. Each filter is what you see, no one chooses a schedule for us. Everyone is free to create, publish texts, images and video with ease and cost unimaginable even a decade ago. With our personal computers today buy the equivalent in equipment technology a television production station, radio station, a publishing house. " In a "mesh" information travels horizontally and much more are all potential nodes of this trip. Not by chance have started circulating neologisms as "prosumers," the union of "producer" and "consumer". It is difficult today to keep the roles separate and waterproof. "Living in the Internet necessarily mean exposure to the interaction with others, because the media do not produce social value if they are activated both the lines of communication." This interaction produces an interesting hybrid news. It is not only the possibility to comment on articles or to ask for contributions from readers to events of some kind, but also transparently discuss the editorial choices made (the New York Times make public the records of editorial meetings, for example) to make the readers feel more neighbors and knowledgeable host the blog readers, up to a point where professional journalism works closely with a broad community of partners that carry spontaneous contributions of various kinds. The network also supports multi-media convergence of several languages, such as writing, podcat, photography, video. According Maistrello "traditional publishers serving a double difficulty at this stage must absorb practices emerging convergence of media and adapt their production processes. They can not even leave the printing plant or transmission, but it makes less and less, and must at the same time invest in research and development of new online information solutions, where the return is still uncertain.

Totally Wired Simon Reynolds

It is incredible to think that Simon Reynolds - English critic, one of the best known music journalists in the world - had wanted to come back Post Punk after writing the book of the same name, a monumental Lay Bible which addressed in a comprehensive way the musical period between 78 and 84: that is, one of music's most exciting seasons ever developed in the short-wave surf left (though violent) of punk. Here's the "behind the scenes" of Post Punk, a large book of 492 pages titled Totally Wired (ISBN editions) that contains glosses, notes in the margin, other wise and interviews that supplement and enrich the discourse developed in the earlier book. Why even go back on that period of history? Not only the hierarchy of criteria for music: in the end only after years of neglect has finally recognized that this season has produced some of the most intriguing material ever in the history of "rock", expanding the possibilities of music generated by youth contamination and a new rock inspired by a vision of "urgency to constant change." Suffice it to say that within the label "post-punk band falls fundamental as Talking Heads, Wire, Joy Division, Pere Ubu, Public Image Ltd., Gang of Four, The Birthday Party Nick Cave, XTC, The Cure, Devo, This Heat, Pop Group, all around New York no wave, the Fall of Mark Smith, New Order, the Residents, the early U2. Materials very varied: the collision of punk and funk to the more austere trials - in some cases were connected to the hidden materials of the seventies, as krautrock and Canterbury Sound - the use of synthesizers in pop deconstruction, by forms of rock "existentialist" up the new pop then luck came in the eighties, from industrial to hard forms of more or less deviated. A unique period in which flourished the first independent labels and has produced fundamental legacies in all the music that came afterwards. And so here's a Another reason for returning to the post punk to speak today, the here and now music that drew heavily from those years through a systematic looting and - in some cases - very profitable: the case studies (and known) of Interpol, Liars, LCD Soundsystem and Franz Ferdinand are here to witness it. The book is an opportunity to come back to these topics in depth, often through the testimonies of some of the key figures of that period. Illuminating in this respect are the interviews with Jah Wobble, the head of the lower miracle of the first records of Public Image Ltd John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten, the Sex Pistols and the rotten prophet of the post punk), or that the founder of Factory Tony Wilson, died in 2007, with a commemoration of the important overtime in the production of Martin Hannett by Joy Division. Or the one with David Byrne of Talking Heads and the great John Peel's Radio One (it happened that the people speak "of" groups of John Peel "as shorthand to describe a certain kind of bizarre post-punk do-it-yourself deliberately eccentric "). But the book is also a way to reattach the theories of Reynolds up that time. A statement on all accounts for the adventurous spirit of that time: "Perhaps the best way to think about the post-punk is not a genre but in terms of those in an area of \u200b\u200bopportunity, which revealed a range of new genres: dark, industrial, synthpop, disco and other mutant. Since it is a space - or perhaps a discourse on music, rather than a musical style - what unites all these activities is a set of imperatives undefined: innovation, eccentricity intentional rejection of all things, who had a history or that they were "rock 'n' roll.

Obrèscida 0.1

( photo of Nicola Massa )

When you start the first notes of the initial set of the festival the sun is not up yet. I have just five in the morning and music - that of Dubmode or Michele Casanova duo of Cagliari Signorafranca - is still played at a very low volume, with the console as illuminated by a spotlight placed in front. The audience begins to arrive in small groups and lie on the sand, still fresh, the dunes of Torre dei Corsairs to Sant'Antionio Santadi, near Arbus, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches of Costa Verde. It was an unusual happening to Obrèscida, organized by the collective TempuNou Nootempo - for the treatment of Quilo, Arrogalla and Claudia Aru Carreras - and held in between Saturday night and Sunday morning from five until nine. A dawn to music in middle of the golden sand dunes of some of the largest in Sardinia, where music and nature are interwoven in an intimate and relaxed made possible by the relatively low number of participants - purposely limited - the sensitivity of the musicians who are able to interpret the musical mood of the dawn, and a beautiful location that was made for the first time the background of a music event related to electronic music. The festival - organized in collaboration with Gaetano Filice Hotel Golden Sands - was a pilot who served as a test in order to bring the live electronics in similar contexts in the future, in full compliance environment. Successful experiment thanks to the fact that, musically, took turns some of the most interesting electronic projects and producer born in Sardinia in recent years. The dawn was the sound track producer Ganga Sassari, young boy with a hard shoulder for Nootempo, which is produced in a set much quieter than usual - very suitable for, say, the time at which it is played - with laptop and turntable incorporating ambient, downtempo and trip-hop. Menion - guitarist Muccamacca - brought a set for guitar and laptop with a moderate use of voice, between deconstruction and post folktronica. The musician has given way to Neeva - not before to have a duet with him on a sitar improvisation and laptops - producer Cagliari sampler that collects on shuffling beats and a pulsating sound that moves from hip hop to abstract downtempo rhythms. The duo has reworked his Bentesoi live for the occasion: the Carreras sang while kneeling on the sand produced Arrogalla dirty beat - as if immersed in a lo-fi haze - and an array of sound dub. Mantaraffu - that of Marcello Cualbu Signorafranca - was produced in the more experimental performances, with a dark sound, which embraced different elements in a magma heavily sound button. Plastik Kettle The duo veered towards a soft electro-pop very heavily indebted to the eighties. Everybody's Tesla produced live longer pinched between timid openings dancefloor, pop melodies and a playful use of homemade instruments, synth, and vocals KAOSS pad. Finally Paul Indeo, San Gavino boy who is just looking out into the world of music production with an array of deep-house sound. At the end of everything, as was natural, group lunch and swim in the sea all day. Andrea Tramonte, Unione Sarda, 05/07/2010
