Podcasts about Muzak

Au printemps 1979, on découvre à la télé chez André Torrent, le clip, oui le clip, d'un gars bien barge avec des lunettes noires d'aviateur. Il chante un titre qu'on a découvert à la radio, ou dans un juke box, et dont le 45 Tours, à la pochette bien barge aussi, est tombé sur nos platines comme un météore. Le nom du groupe est pas mal, non plus, ou du chanteur, on ne sait pas, on ne sait rien, il s'appelle M. Oui, il y avait déjà Boney M, maintenant il a M, tout court.Quant au single, Pop Muzik, c'en est, justement, en plein, un petit bijou au rythme disco mais pourtant éloigné avec ses synthés, son chant syncopé et sa guitare rockabilly. Un tour de magie que seul un vieux de la vieille qui a déjà tout vécu peut se permettre. En effet, derrière ce M se cache Robin Scott, un Anglais de la génération des Beatles et des Pink Floyd qui roule sa bosse depuis la fin des années 60.C'est à cette époque qu'il rencontre à Londres Malcolm McLaren et Vivienne Westwood, les futurs fringueurs du monde branché punk, et joue de la musique dans des boîtes où il partage parfois l'affiche avec un David Bowie qui, lui aussi, se cherche encore.Au début des années 70, on le retrouve dans divers projets tantôt sur la BBC pour un show, sur scène pour une comédie musicale ou à la télé où il remporte l'émission « A la recherche d'une star » (oui, ça existe déjà). Au milieu de la décennie, il lance son propre label sur lequel sont publiés les premiers singles de nombreuses futures stars de la new wave comme Adam and the Ants. Le voilà producteur chez Barclay, il vit désormais à Paris avec sa compagne Brigitte Vinchon qui sera la voix féminine de son nouveau groupe « M », lequel comprendra à un certain moment pas moins de 4 membres du futur Level 42.Voilà qui est Robin Scott, l'artiste dont on ne sait rien et qui se cache sans se cacher derrière le nom de M, avec son hit N°1 dans dix pays dont les Etats-Unis et dans le top dix de dix autres. C'est rien moins qu'un des plus grands hits de l'année 1979 qui a pourtant été bien chargée en tubes gigantesques et immortels.L'album qui sort en novembre, suite au triomphe du single est une sorte de grande récréation débridée de types qui ont tout vu, tout su, tout lu sur la pop music. Enregistré dans le studio de Queen à Montreux, on y retrouve même David Bowie pour une contribution discrète. En clair, il clappe des mains sur plusieurs titres, mais c'est David Bowie quand même.Le choix du single suivant, l'excellent Moonlight and Muzak est trop différent du précédent et premier hit, au grand désespoir de sa maison de disques : et de fait, il ne fonctionne qu'en Angleterre, ainsi qu'un autre titre de l'album, … Ainsi va l'argent. Les disques suivants ne feront guère mieux, au début des années 80, mais n'empêche, le M de Robin Scott est encore aujourd'hui dans toutes les têtes. On s'est bien éclatés, et lui aussi. Et on en sait un peu plus sur lui.

My guest on Ep. 57 of TatD is a real "get" (as they say in the biz)! Many rock fans know this guy well because his resume goes on for a country mile and his talent stretches even further. Kenny Aaronson first caught this once-young fella's attention as the bassist with the coooool hair in the Billy Squire music videos that were all over MTV back in the day, but when you look at all the people he's played with, both as a sideman and an official band mate, it's kinda insane. Kenny was Rolling Stone's Bassist Of The Year in 1988 and he's played onstage with a list of artists that's just too extensive to name here but these are just a handful.. Bob Dylan, The Yardbirds, Joan Jett, Rick Derrenger, Billy Squire, Billy Idol, Stories, Dust.. which also featured drummer Mark Bell, later known as one Marky Ramone.. and he's also the K in QDK, a band he currently plays in with David Uosikkinen of the Hooters and guitarist Quentin Jones. And to think I actually get to play music with him in David Uosikkinen's In The Pocket a couple times a year.. it's honestly a big thrill.Aside from playing with literal rock legends, Kenny has a broad music palette, which delves into places I never would have expected. Like me, he's a fan of things like Muzak, the Partridge Family, Esquivel, and more. He even makes very cool music on his laptop at home, digging into sound libraries and his taste for steel guitar (think the soundtrack on "Spongebob" but better). He's just an all-around talented guy, who, most importantly, still retains his absolute passion for music making into his 70's. He's an inspiration to many, and i count myself among the KA faithful!Hope you enjoy this convo as much as I did!

​​​Continuamos con el relato sobre la vida y milagros musicales del trompetista Chet Baker. A finales de la década de los cincuenta todo se empieza a complicar para este particular músico, sobre todo debido a su pérdida de popularidad y al peligroso incremento en sus adicciones por todo tipo de sustancias. No obstante, mal que bien, continúa con su carrera, tocando en directo siempre que puede y grabando discos a mansalva. En este programa abordamos unos años en los que el jazz volvió a cambiar, con el auge del jazz modal que tanto practicaron Coltrane y Miles, el free de Ornette y la llegada del jazz-rock a finales de la década de los 60, con la correspondiente electrificación de algunos instrumentos. Todo esto cogió a Chet desprevenido pero, aún así, intentó hacer algunos discos basándose en algunas de estas nuevas variantes del jazz, llegando incluso a caer en el Muzak o música de "easy listening", también bastante de moda durante los años 60. Todo esto, y alguna curiosidad más, conforman esta segunda parte del monográfico dedicado a uno de los trompetistas más recordados de la historia del jazz: Chet Baker.

Muzak è il marchio della prima è più importante società di musica filodiffusa che ebbe il periodo di massimo fulgore negli anni '50 e '60, soprattutto in USA, ma anche nel resto del mondo. Negli anni muzak è diventato sinonimo di musica di sottofondo, anzi di “musica da ascensore” (traduzione di “elevator music”), una definizione denigratoria con la quale è stato ribattezzato fin dall'inizio questo particolare tipo di musica easy listening, per lo più strumentale, che da un certo momento storico ha cominciato a essere diffusa dappertutto: negli uffici e negli hotel, nei supermercati e negli aeroporti, e a un certo punto persino nelle stalle. Negli anni '90 c'è stato un revival del repertorio Muzak con la moda della lounge music, che ha fatto riscoprire al grande pubblico, temi, autori e sottogeneri di quel bizzarro, a volte stucchevole, altre volte sorprendentemente sperimentale filone musicale.E pensare che la musica di sottofondo, la musica funzionale, esiste da sempre. Il precursore più diretto della Muzak è però indubbiamente il francese Eric Satie, autore nel 1920 del manifesto della Musique d'ameublement, ossia la “Musica d'arredamento”. La leggenda vuole che Satie abbia avuto l'illuminazione per la sua musica d'arredamento durante un pranzo con il pittore Fernand Léger. “Muzak, una storia in sottofondo” è un viaggio avvincente a due voci, una produzione originale del duo Cappa e Drago (il produttore, regista, autore radiofonico Gaetano Cappa e lo scrittore, giornalista e autore radiofonico Marco Drago).

El programa destaca la victoria de la Real Sociedad en la Copa del Rey, que le otorga un billete para Europa. En el ámbito político, miles de venezolanos en Madrid respaldan a María Corina Machado, quien declina reunirse con Pedro Sánchez, mientras el Partido Popular acusa al presidente de encontrarse con líderes que protegen dictaduras. El rey Juan Carlos I, en una entrevista, expresa su preocupación por el deterioro de las relaciones con el gobierno, defiende su gestión como jefe de Estado y la monarquía, y pide más visibilidad para la princesa Leonor. En deportes, Rafa Nadal es eliminado en las semifinales del Conde de Godó. Finalmente, se aborda el fenómeno de la música de ascensor, o Muzak, repasando su historia y a figuras clave como Paul Mauriat, Ray Conniff y Kenny G, y su influencia en diversos contextos. El programa también emite un aviso sobre el uso de inteligencia artificial en sus contenidos.

In episode 11 of the Fenris Wolf podcast, titled "The Earworms of My Mind," Carl Abrahamsson delves into the profound and often overlooked power of music, particularly its evocative capabilities and potential for magical use. Abrahamsson highlights how music is typically perceived as a passive experience, where listeners curate playlists or choose songs to set moods for relaxation or productivity. However, he suggests that music can also be a dynamic tool for emotional processing and magical practice. Abrahamsson discusses the phenomenon of Involuntary Musical Imagery (INMI), commonly known as earworms, where certain songs or tunes spontaneously surface in the mind and persistently loop. He notes that this involuntary recall can occur due to various triggers, including emotional states, contextual reminders, or even fatigue and stress, which may weaken cognitive inhibition. The brain's default mode network plays a crucial role in this process, replaying stored musical patterns similar to how it would complete familiar sentences. The podcast further explores the unique ways music is processed in the brain, engaging multiple systems, including the auditory cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and limbic system—the latter being key to emotional memory. Abrahamsson points out that music's ability to encode autobiographical memories is particularly powerful, with songs capable of evoking vivid memories and emotions from the past. This phenomenon is evident in individuals with Alzheimer's disease, who often retain the ability to recognize and sing along to familiar songs despite significant memory loss. Abrahamsson highlights the historical exploitation of music for political and commercial purposes. Political movements have utilized campaign songs and anthems to foster emotional connections and group identity among supporters. Totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, leveraged music to create a sense of community and ideological alignment. Contemporary advertising similarly employs music to evoke emotional responses and enhance brand recognition, using catchy jingles and familiar melodies to create involuntary associations with products. The discussion transitions to Muzak, a company that pioneered the use of background music in commercial settings to influence consumer behavior subtly. Abrahamsson reflects on the controversial nature of Muzak, which some critics view as manipulative and emotionally bland, while others argue it serves a functional role in enhancing environments. Exploring the psychological implications of music, Abrahamsson distinguishes between general exposure to catchy tunes and more profound personal connections through "Signifiers of the Psyche." He encourages listeners to reflect on the songs that linger in their minds, suggesting these may convey messages from their subconscious. Abrahamsson proposes a creative approach to utilizing music for personal empowerment. He suggests crafting one's own "hyper-jingles" or mantras that encapsulate specific goals or emotions, thereby reclaiming the musical territory often dominated by external influences. By consciously creating and repeating catchy phrases set to melodies, individuals can harness music as a magical tool for self-transformation. Finally, he discusses the concept of habituation, where repeated exposure to the same musical stimuli may diminish its effectiveness. He emphasizes the importance of refreshing one's musical repertoire, both in magical practices and everyday life, to maintain optimal emotional and psychological responses. The episode concludes with an invitation to listeners to explore the resources linked in the show notes, encouraging continued engagement with the themes discussed.

Marc Bourreau revient sur l'histoire de la musique d'ambiance, également appelée "muzak", qui remonte à plus de 100 ans, avec les travaux pionniers du compositeur Erik Satie. Dans les années 1950, l'entreprise Muzak, fondée par George Squier, a popularisé la diffusion de musique d'ambiance dans les ascenseurs, hôtels, restaurants et lieux de travail, dans le but de stimuler la productivité des employés. Depuis, la musique d'ambiance est devenue omniprésente dans notre société de consommation, permettant de rassurer les consommateurs et de favoriser les achats dans les commerces. Des compilations musicales ont été spécialement créées pour accompagner différentes activités, comme la marche, la lecture ou le sommeil, démontrant l'étendue de l'utilisation de la musique d'ambiance. Aujourd'hui, la musique d'ambiance est critiquée pour son aspect envahissant et son manque de considération pour l'écoute active, mais elle reste un outil puissant pour influencer les comportements des individus.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Many Beatles scholars (NOT YOU, Lewisohn) often cite this familiar and prophetic John Lennon quote: "It came in a vision – a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From 2020 on, all crucial Beatles film projects will be kept behind a Disney paywall, where you will pay to subscribe and still get commercials'." John later relied on this memory to write the inspired-by-Joan Lunden Pepper track, ”Good Morning, Good Morning America”. (Angry Chicago Guy: AND HOW COME THEY LET STRAHAN ON THAT SHOW BUT DON'T GOT BRIAN URLACHER?) Back to The Beatles. If you weren't aware, Disney is now streaming The Beatles Anthology, alongside a million Star Wars spin-offs from the last decade that nobody knew existed. It goes without saying that the original TV Anthology, and the vastly expanded home video version, are legendary. The latter has existed as a period piece trapped on VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD since 2003, never remastered or re-issued. Until now. Tony, T.J, producer Casey, and a sassy, housemaid robot all gussied up for a new year of hilarious hijinks - it's TGIF on A-BEATLES-C! - begin to dissect this wild re-release/re-thinking of the most important Beatles moment since their break-up in 1970. (Sorry, “Love Songs” fans. #SorryLoveSongs) But they also ask the hard hitting questions that only a Robin Roberts/Charles Gibson would ask, like: 6️⃣7️⃣ If T.J. uses a popular word from 2022 in 2026, does that give him the right to make 2025 jokes in 2029?

SUBSCRIBE TO ACCESS "MUZAK CHAIRS II" IN ITS MIND-BOGGLING ENTIRETY!SPOILER WARNINGS FOR SEASON I OF THE CHAIR COMPANY:File this one under:Fisher Roby head honcho Jeff Levjman and music A&R scammer Stacy Crystals being clear substitutes for Jeff Epstein & Leslie Wexner, down to nominative symmetries. Jeff Levjman having an Ashkenazic Yiddish name; Stacy Crystals (immensely valuable jewels) = Leslie Wexner (Wexner derived from "weksler", which means "moneychanger" or "banker"). Under the Silver Lake similarities in Stacy Crystals' schemes. "Just to see Mickey. We had a special pass to cut the kids" -> evoking Aquino's Tinkerbell pics, Maxwell w/ Donald Duck doing kids charity work in the UK, Epstein and Piglet, etc... An unexplained "Mighty Mouse" codeword or nickname in a sus email Epstein sent between two of his Gmail accounts. The Chair Co. sequence where Ron ends up at Asher's house in back-to-back scenes (one dream, one corporeal) after falling unconscious while chasing after Baby, who he learns is actually named Minnie Mouse and belongs to this discomfiting dude Asher, only to later discover that Ron has inadvertently returned the dog to its abusive owner... A scene with a jumpscare inside Asher's shed with a "brand new shape" glowing in some light array on the ground that evokes Wexner and his Dybbuk, "the churning", shpilkes, etc. Jeff Levjman's stag night in Sedona with Danny Donovan et al clearly seeming like a riff on Epstein's ties to Santa Fe and Zorro Dude Ranch. Stacy Crystals' bilking of the bourgeoisie built upon the unfulfilling alienation of capitalism which also smacks of the fantasies that Epstein curated for his associates...Dalton School impropriety allegations, pimp coats, Donald Barr. Noam Chomsky rec letters. Epstein talking up how his rep has increased since #MeToo, self-styling as a cancellation consultant over email with Joi Ito. Lawrence Krauss. Ron's theory that Tecca is smuggling poppy stalks and thebaine into the country in voids where the chair appendices are supposed to go evoking a whole host of Iran-Contra connections involving Wexner, Epstein, Delaware, and Ohio. Summit Aviation, Ohioan Cessna dealers, DuPonts, a crash in Nicaragua. Steve Hoffenberg. Epstein's ties to Adnan Khashoggi, Douglas Leese, and Stan Pottinger. The Arthur Shapiro Contract Hit in Columbus. Southern Air Transport - a CIA proprietary airline that was once co-owned by the same shell company that owned Airs America & Asia and which was heavily involved in Iran-Contra drugs-for-guns smuggling. Epstein and Wexner's role in its relocation to Rickenbacker in Columbus. All of this evoking the possible Hungarian connection and Tecca's thebaine. Oliver North. Felix Rodriguez. Donald Gregg. Bush. Another Cessna shot down by Sandinistas, this time Southern Air's (which would relocate to Ohio and handle The Limited's cargo in a few years). The Arthur Shapiro Murder File and Wexner, DeBartolo, Shapiro's law firm partners, city council president Jerry Hammond, the Major Chord Jazz Club, Jack Kessler, Frank Walsh, DeBartolo, and the Genovese-LaRocca Pittsburgh Crime Fam appearing all over it. MAST Industries, Marty Trust, and Sri Lankan textile slave labor. Gov. Voinovich. Local journo Bob Fitrakis's various exposes. Actual sexual blackmail appearing in Chair Co. Episode 5, the insane True Detective esque oner at Oliver Probblo's apartment, where Ron is forced to kiss a woman on camera after walking in on an affair. The bugs. PROMIS. Palantir. Carbyne/Reporty. Actual Ohioan pharma companies that may be inspirations for Brucell. The Delaware City officer that chases Ron down during the '50s Cop Hop at City Hall possibly alluding to Wexner's influence and off-duty employment of a racist-af policeman from Gahanna, Franklin Co. Sheriff Deputies, and an ex SpecOps guy. Major comparisons between the ecological greenwashing of Fisher Robay and Wexner/Kessler's New Albany Company. New Urbanism.

The film unfolds with chilling intimacy — a claustrophobic portrait of desperation, captivity, and the thin line between holiday solitude and madness.It's brutal, tense, and strangely poetic in its emptiness — a winter tale where the only carols are echoed footsteps and the hum of fluorescent bulbs.

Send us a textOh, hello there, you vinyl-vaulting philistines and cassette-clutching casuals. Another cycle spins on the turntable of existence, and this time we're cranking the volume on "The Power of Music"—films where the soundtrack isn't just background noise for your popcorn munching, but the beating heart, the narrative needle scratching deep into the grooves of the soul. We're talking movies where melodies manipulate fates, chords construct characters, and a killer riff can redeem or ruin everything. None of your elevator Muzak nonsense; this is the real symphonic stuff.But wait—because life's never just a solo act—our shake-up demands: Must Feature a Romance. Yes, a proper love story, the kind that twists like a warped 45, central or subplot, genre be damned. Heartstrings plucked alongside guitar strings, or haven't you heard?This week's selection? The one and only "High Fidelity," my personal mixtape manifesto. John Cusack (that's me in spirit, you plebs) as Rob Gordon, a record store tyrant cataloging his top five heartbreaks while rewinding his pathetic romantic résumé through blistering flashbacks and fourth-wall shatters. Laura dumps him (again), cue the existential playlist crisis, and suddenly he's remixing his life like a desperate DJ. Nick Hornby's novel on celluloid, directed by Stephen Frears, with a supporting cast of Jack Black bellowing Springsteen and Todd Louiso quoting chapter and verse from the indie bible. It's breakup as symphony, music as therapy, and romance as the ultimate B-side you can't skip.Tune in, or forever hold your peace in the bargain bin.

Alec and Nick finally discuss the processes of music consumption and distribution through smart phones, and the means of production of "sounds" on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and other video sharing social media platforms. Picking up a quandary from past episodes about digital music, the duo ask if TikTok sounds are, in fact, music—and conduct an inquiry into the form and processes that TikTok sound sharing has redefined in our musical lives and experiences. Spanning Phonk music, millennial woop glockenspiel music, Gen Z bed room folk, 80s Muzak commercial music, and more, the conversation analyzes a dark Dostoevskyian worldview of new commercialized music on smart phones—and how this underpins a capitalized sadness enframing the music's focus on the daily grind, the hustle, and success. The episode reviews new populisms, cultures of embarrassment and professionalization, Alec's practice of dredging the depths of Spotify, "out of timeness" and "out of tuneness," the haunting quality of various sonic spaces on the phone, and a comparison between the social experience of cell phone music and Opera. The episode serves as an initial material and cultural review of algorithms future episodes may expand upon.

In which a series of engineers, entrepreneurs, and classic TV producers discover that America wants gentle music piped into its public spaces, and Ken likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. Certificate #54082.

Although there's not much lore in this AU, there are a ton of champions. Well, there are a ton of heroes but not as many Muzak lovers, and we all agree that needs to change. There's much, dare we say, potential here? More skins, comics, a small game?

**Please hold. Giles and Esther will be with you shortly….[muzak]…Press 1 for the podcast. Press 2 for immediate death or press 3 to speak to a bot who will return you to the main menu…** If there really is no sound more joyful than that of children playing, no wonder the world is so miserable. It is a sound in short supply as children have retreated from playing outdoors to stay indoors on their tech. Former children's commissioner Baroness Anne Longfield has called for ‘no ball games' signs to be removed to get children playing outside again. The trouble is, if they go outside who is there to play with apart from a load of killer dogs and some bloodthirsty gangs? If kids can't play outside, can you take them to work? Well, best to check first in case you're turned away at the door as one lady was with her nine-month-old. Should she have been allowed in, or are some places just not meant to be child friendly?**A new apple app promises to deal with hold music for its users, but Esther doesn't want it.Finally, can you schedule your friends? Lily Allen 40, may do this (or she may just have a good sense of humour.) Either way she has given Giles an idea… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Susie had a crazy celebrity encounter in LA, and it made her year. We learn how one man's OCD was cured through a violent act, and what it can teach us about the disorder. We find out whether old people find other old people attractive, and Susie thinks it says something about self-esteem. We talk about how language is changing because of the internet, why we all speak more similarly now, but the changes happen more rapidly. We discuss a man who was "terrorizing" a town, but really it was probably just one lady in a paper plate mask. Work from home made us awkward and now people aren't taking showers or brushing their teeth. Susie explains the history of Muzak. And we learn why girls don't play baseball and it's infuriating. Plus, we play Bingo with our commonly occurring behavior, and it's hilar.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
