Fra i molti libri dello scrittore bolognese (fra cui Despero, Luglio, Agosto, Settembre Nero, Blackout, e l’ultimo Nato per rincorrere, su Bruce Springsteen), focalizziamo questa sorta di viatico tra concerti, aneddoti di memoria
collettiva e individuale dell’Emilia musicale. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianluca_Morozzi
ore 19:30 concerti dei gruppi delle etichette partecipanti

VENERDI’ 9
ore 17:00 apertura stands
ore 18:30 presentazione del libro CONCEPT ALBUM di Daniele Folle (Odoia, 2010). Nata sull’onda della rivoluzione musicale di fine anni Sessanta, la pratica del concept album ha accompagnato la maturità del rock, scrivendo un capitolo importantissimo nella storia della popular music. Il libro colma una lacuna bibliografica e rende giustizia ad
una forma di espressione musicale simbolo del rapporto tra la popular music e il disco. http://www.odoya.it/
ore 19:30 concerti dei gruppi delle etichette partecipanti

SABATO 10
ore 17:00 apertura stands
ore 18:30 tavola rotonda MUSICA: PRODUZIONI E PRODOTTI. Nell’epoca della smaterializzazione dei supporti, quali sono le sfide che si pongono alla realizzazione di
dischi? Quali i compiti di una documentazione/ trasmissione del lavoro musicale contemporaneo? In che modo questa realtà può riscattarsi dai ricatti del mercato e allo stesso tempo avere i suoi spazi di riconoscibilità?
ore 19:30 concerti dei gruppi delle etichette partecipanti

The placard headphone festival
A 12h non stop headphone festival

Here we go for placard’s 8th edition, third try out of a non-stop three month streaming headphone festival.Placard is a headphone concert festival, playing with concentration, intimacy,time warp,and teleportation.This year it goes on for 97 days non stop, in different cities. It functions under a mode of open program,open for headphone rooms to create performance spaces where performers are welcomed to perform. Both the headphoneroom ‘owner’ and the performers use the inscription site to self organize the global program. The placard ‘owner’ receives in his room performers who have submitted a inscription via the site , and streams the shows to the other headphonerooms either passive listeners or waiting to perform.The site is designed to simplify communication inbetween the performers and the organizers, using automatic emails notifying of incomming inscriptions , accepted deplaced or refused perfomances; also notifying performers of the creation of headphonerooms in their city.
