Rock And The City - Paris (ARTE - 2009)

Rock And The City - Paris


Originally broadcasted in ARTE on 2009/02/16


This is a french documentary series about the music scene in cities such as New York, Berlin, Paris, Kingson and Liverpool.
The narration is in french but all the rest is in it's original language, mostly English.

French description of Paris' episode:
Le Whisky à Go Go ouvre dès 1947, rue de Seine, suivi de près par Chez Castel. C’est là entre autre qu’est née la tendance internationale du clubbing : Bardot, Dali, Noureiev, The Who, Catherine Deneuve se croisent au son de la musique de l’époque. Plus tard, cette tradition de la fête sera perpétuée par Le Palace, ouvert en 1978. Puis viendra le temps des Bains Douches, du Baron…
Aujourd’hui, les choses se sont sensiblement déplacées : Gibus, Point Éphémère, Pop-in ou encore La Flèche d’Or. Au gré des rencontres, nous passons de la rive droite à la rive gauche pour écrire au présent et en musique une histoire de Paris.

French description of New York's episode:
Ville de légendes et de contrastes, elle abrite des millions de vies et autant de sonorités, réunies dans un vaste melting-pot de communautés, de lieux et d’ambiances. Elle fut un foyer majeur du jazz, du rock, du blues et du hip hop et a permis à de nombreux artistes de se faire connaître dans ses très nombreuses salles de concerts. La scène new yorkaise d’aujourd’hui ne cesse de se diversifier. Une exploration musicale qui nous mène d’une ambiance à l’autre, sur les traces de Sean Lennon, MGMT, Herman Dune, Radio 4, Moby, Nick Toshes...

TV Music Recordings, The Begin

Ladies and Gentleman,

Here I start a project of mine where I will upload all my TV music recordings.

FAQ:

Q: What do you mean TV Music Recordings?
A: Well, not MTV's promo videos of the "poppest" bands of the planet. I will be uploading mainly concerts and live music not available officially by the respective band. You can also count on having interesting music related documentaries, and such.

Q: How can I download them?
A: I will always try to have a Megaupload/Rapidshare link for all my posts. When I can't, there will always be the torrent option. This last one may usually be hosted at Dime A Dozen (EZTorrent). link: www.dimeadozen.org

Q: How do you record them and in which format will they be uploaded?
A: I'll be recording everything with a Technisat SkyStar 2 - a DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite) computer card, so you can count with 100% digital recordings. You *CAN'T* get anything better, independently from the final recording size.
As for the format, it will depend:
- For live music recordings, I shall not reencode, so you will get exactly what I record - MPEG2/MPEG4+MP2/AC3 (the standard DVB broadcasting formats). This can be in the TS format (Transport Stream) or MPG container. All major DVD-Video player software accept both formats. In some cases, I may author a DVD-Video with my recordings. In that case, there will be available all the necessary files to record a real DVD-Video you can play on your standalone DVD Player, or just play them in your computer as usual.
- For documentaries, etc, I may reencode them to MPEG-4 so it can be, basiclly, smaller. This can be Divx, Xvid or x246 (AVC) contained in AVI, MP4 or MKV.

Q: Can I request you to record me something?
A: As long as it's music related, sure! Just be sure it can be received in Europe via Satellite.

Q: How can I contact you?
A: Just leave your e-mail at one of the comment boxes, and I'll get in touch with you.
