Off Key: When Film and Music Won't Work Together

On Amazonand Google books. Posting this one for the Roland System 100m on the cover.

"In Off Key, Kay Dickinson offers a compelling study of how certain alliances of music and film are judged aesthetic failures. Based on a fascinating and wide-ranging body of film-music mismatches, and using contemporary reviews and histories of the turn to post-industrialization, the book expands the ways in which the union of the film and music businesses can be understood.

Moving beyond the typical understanding of film music that privileges the score, Off Key also incorporates analyses of rock 'n' roll movies, composer biopics, and pop singers crossing over into acting. By doing this, it provides a fuller picture of how two successful entertainment sectors have sought out synergistic strategies, ones whose alleged "failures" have much to tell about the labor practices of the creative industries, as well as our own relationship to them and to work itself. A provocative and politically-conscious look at music-image relations, Off Key will appeal to students and scholars of film music, cinema studies, media studies, cultural studies, and labor history."

Crowphonics CRO-1

via this auction

"This has to be one of the coolest things (IMO) to come out in the analog/boutique synth whatever you wanna call it industry in the last year or so. I've never really played with something that was so quirky and almost had a personality? The thing can go from total cacophony to sort of rhythmic noise to deep square-wave bass. And this is all before you feed it any control voltage. Connect one or more of the croc-clips to a cv/gate source like a eurorack or 5U modular jack etc and the cro-1 really gets interesting. Of course there is always the option to chain multiple CRO-1 and 2s via the sync/chain jack.
