about the artist: Since 2005 he is publisher and editor-in-chief of DIK Fagazine, and has founded the Queer Archives Institute in 2015

Maria Konopnicka (from the series "Poczet"), 2017:

propaganda: I will just quote some text from the curatorial text by Fanny Hauser and Viktor Neumann accompanying the "Poczet" exhibition at Kunst(Zeug)Haus, Rapperswil, Switzerland (23 August - 1 November 2020), because they talk about it better than I could: "The Polish word “poczet” once referred to the smallest unit of the army of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569-1795), and later came to describe a group of people of common descent or performing a specific role. Most importantly, the word relates to a series of portraits of Polish kings and queens (since 966 to 1795), arranged chronologically and conceived as pictorial representation of Polish history [...]. [...] The artist’s employment of portraiture, traditionally considered a bourgeois genre, constitutes a crucial part of his practice as a means to paraphrase and inquire the aesthetics of a variety of historic artistic movements and practices. Adding another perspective to the common visual codes and historical narratives, this contextual shift becomes a subversive strategy to challenge dominant modes of representation and commemorates those who have been subjected to the patrilinear logic of history. Radziszewski’s "Poczet" is a bold retake on the idea of the formation of national identity as demonstrated by pictures that testify to (or rather construct) the continuity of royal power, exercised by heterosexual, cisgendered males and perpetuated through royal marriages. Forming a gallery of twenty-two ancestral portraits of non-heteronormative Polish figures of the past millennium from fields including politics, science, literature and art, "Poczet" deliberately reaffirms the protagonists’ expression of queerness that has been suppressed or erased from their historiography to a large extent."

The series "Ali", 2015-2017:

propaganda: Taken inspiration from Picasso in terms of style (specially like the nod to Guernica), to pay homage to the real life figure Agbola O’Brown (pseudonym “Ali”), a Nigerian-born jazz musician and the sole black combatant of the Warsaw Uprising, right wing assholes like to definine who and who not belongs, so this work really speaks to me as a counter work.

Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey in Cabaret (Bob Fosse, 1972)

Cast: Liza Minnelli, Michael York, Helmut Griem, Joel Grey, Fritz Wepper, Marisa Berenson, Elizabeth Neumann-Viertel, Helen Vita. Screenplay: Jay Presson Allen, based on a musical play by Joe Masteroff, a play by John Van Druten, and stories by Christopher Isherwood. Cinematography: Geoffrey Unsworth. Production design: Rolf Zehetbauer. Film editing: David Bretherton. Music: John Kander. 

In Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, a young German engineer, recuperating in a tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, decides to read up on physiology. He concludes that life itself is a kind of disease, "a fever of matter." In Cabaret, Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) proclaims that "life is a cabaret, old chum." Yet given that the cabaret presided over by the Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) in the film is a febrile sort of place, there's a coherence between the two views. Director Bob Fosse would himself go on to posit a relationship between illness and creativity in All That Jazz (1979). And Sally Bowles's favorite phrase, the seeming oxymoron "divine decadence," suggests that out of decay comes something higher. What would be the opposite, after all: satanic order? In perhaps the movie's most chilling moment, Fosse gives us a closeup of a cherubic, well-scrubbed young face, the very opposite of the Master of Ceremonies's rouged and lipsticked face that  has dominated the film from the very beginning. The boy then begins to sing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," and as the camera pulls back we see that he is wearing the uniform of the Hitler Youth. As the crowd at the open-air beer garden, which has to this point seemed an idyllic setting, joins in and begins to raise their arms in the Nazi salute, we view the very definition of satanic order. But enough German dialectics. Cabaret is one of the great movie musicals. As a rule, I prefer musicals created originally for the movies, like the Warner Bros. films with the kaleidoscopic routines of Busby Berkeley, the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movies, or the sublime Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952), and not musicals like West Side Story (Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise, 1961; Steven Spielberg, 2021) or My Fair Lady (George Cukor, 1964), that were translated to film from the stage. My admiration for Cabaret would seem to be an exception to that rule, except that when Fosse became director, he jettisoned the book that had been written by Joe Masteroff for the 1966 Broadway musical and went back to the source, Christopher Isherwood's 1939 The Berlin Stories. Jay Presson Allen had been commissioned to write the screenplay, but Hugh Wheeler (credited as "research consultant") heavily revised what she had written. Fosse also dropped many of the songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb, though he added new ones by them: "Money, Money" and "Mein Herr," along with one of their older songs not from the Broadway version, "Maybe This Time." And he made the significant decision to keep the musical numbers, except for the aforementioned “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” confined to the Kit Kat Klub stage -- a touch of cinematic realism that seems essential to a story set in Berlin during the rise of the Nazis. The result is a musical essentially created (or at least re-created) for the movies. It received 10 Oscar nominations and won eight of them, including awards for Minnelli, Grey, and Fosse, as well as for Geoffrey Unsworth's cinematography. The only categories in which it lost were best picture and best adapted screenplay, which went to The Godfather and its screenwriters, Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola.

VA - PRAISE POEMS 9 - A journey into deep, soulful jazz & funk from the 1970s - aha, there is a new one!

After 8 years and 8 volumes, the Tramp Records crew invites you to join them on yet another enlightening journey into soulful Jazz, Folk and AOR from the 1970s and 80s. This 9th volume contains sixteen (almost) forgotton Soul, Jazz and AOR/yacht rock nuggets from between the mid 1970s and early 1980s. One of the many highlights is the opening track by Ronnie Miller, balearic soul at its very best. But that's just the beginning. Praise Poems Vol.9 covers a wide selection of genres, from AOR (Leaves of Autumn, Mirage and Germany's own People) to pop-soul-rock (Stroke, Tom Miles and Jan Lewis Group), from Terry Callier-type folk-soul (Danish-Swedish singer & guitarist Mikael Neumann, Babe and the previously unreleased "Love Is Not For Real"), to jazz (Dianne Elliott and Phil Palumbo), completing the set with a couple of melancholic soul and psych beauties, most notably AOH's mind-blowing "The Answer Lies In Love". Very few compilation series' release as many as nine volumes and those that get that far often start to run out of quality music or meander too far from their original artistic direction. That certainly is not the case with the "Praise Poems" series which leaps from strength-to-strength as our team of compilers and researchers continue to unearth lost and often overlooked music from an era long gone. Many of these records were released in small quantities as private pressings or by small regional labels. Obviously, those labels neither had the budget, expertise, nor options to promote their releases in a sweeping way. Therefore the majority of these artists failed to find the wider audience their music so richly deserved.

Top Microphones for Musicians Who Love WAV Format Songs

For musicians, capturing the perfect sound is an art form that begins with selecting the right microphone. A quality microphone ensures that your recordings reflect the true essence of your music, enabling you to produce tracks with unparalleled clarity. For those who work with WAV format songs, choosing the right microphone is critical because WAV files are renowned for their high fidelity, making every nuance of the recording audible.

This guide explores the best microphones for musicians who aim to create or enjoy professional-grade WAV format songs and offers tips on where to find these songs for download.

1. Dynamic Microphones: Durability Meets Versatility

Dynamic microphones are a popular choice among musicians due to their robustness and ability to handle high sound pressure levels. These microphones are ideal for live performances and recording loud instruments like drums or electric guitars.

Why Dynamic Microphones? Dynamic microphones are less sensitive to background noise, making them perfect for noisy environments. They’re also affordable and durable, making them a favorite for touring musicians.

Best Models for Musicians Popular options include the Shure SM58, known for its reliability and excellent vocal clarity. For guitarists, the Sennheiser e609 is a stellar choice for miking amplifiers.

3. Ribbon Microphones: Warmth and Vintage Vibes

Ribbon microphones are known for their smooth, warm sound, often favored for capturing vocals and strings with a vintage character.

Best Microphones for Different Singing Styles in Live Performances

When it comes to live performances, the choice of microphone can significantly impact the quality of your sound. Whether you're a pop singer, a jazz vocalist, or a rock frontman, selecting the best microphone for singing live is essential to bring out the nuances of your voice and captivate your audience. With so many options available, it's crucial to find a mic that matches your singing style, performance environment, and technical requirements.

In this article, we’ll explore the top microphones suited for various singing styles and live settings. We'll also discuss what makes a microphone ideal for each genre and why investing in the best microphone for live vocals is a game-changer for any performer.

Why the Right Microphone Matters for Live Singing

Every singing style has unique demands. A microphone that works brilliantly for a soft jazz vocalist might not suit a powerful rock singer. Similarly, live performances introduce variables like background noise, venue acoustics, and crowd dynamics, which require robust equipment. This is why finding the best microphone for singing live is about more than just sound quality—it's about ensuring your voice shines through, regardless of the setting.

Microphones designed for live performances typically fall into two categories: dynamic microphones and condenser microphones. Dynamic mics are durable, handle high sound pressure, and excel in noisy environments, making them ideal for most live gigs. Condenser mics, on the other hand, are more sensitive and offer better detail, but they require careful handling and controlled environments.

Top Microphones for Different Singing Styles

1. Pop and R&B Singers

Pop and R&B vocalists require microphones that emphasize clarity and smoothness. These genres often involve dynamic vocal ranges and intricate runs, so the mic needs to capture both highs and lows with precision. The Shure SM58, a classic choice for live performances, is widely regarded as one of the best microphones for live vocals in pop music. Its built-in pop filter reduces plosive sounds, while its cardioid polar pattern minimizes background noise.

For R&B singers who want more detail, the AKG C636 condenser microphone is an excellent option. It delivers studio-quality sound in live settings, ensuring every vocal run and riff is heard.

2. Rock and Metal Vocalists

Rock and metal singers are known for their powerful voices and high-energy performances. For these genres, a microphone must handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) without distortion. The Sennheiser e935 is a standout choice for its durability and ability to cut through loud instruments, making it one of the best microphones for singing live in rock and metal settings.

Another excellent option is the Electro-Voice RE20, which provides consistent sound quality even when the vocalist moves around. This is crucial for rock frontmen who are often on the move during performances.

3. Jazz and Blues Vocalists

Jazz and blues demand warmth and richness in vocal tones. For these genres, microphones that enhance the natural timbre of the voice are preferred. The Neumann KMS 105 is a premium option that offers exceptional clarity and warmth, making it one of the best microphones for live vocals in intimate jazz clubs and blues performances.

For a more budget-friendly option, the Audio-Technica AE5400 delivers professional-grade sound with a focus on vocal detail, ensuring every nuance of the performance is heard.

4. Country and Folk Singers

Country and folk singers often perform in acoustic settings, where the microphone's ability to capture natural tones and textures is critical. The Shure Beta 87A is a popular choice for its bright sound and ability to handle subtle vocal inflections. Its supercardioid pattern ensures minimal interference from surrounding instruments, making it one of the best microphones for singing live in acoustic genres.

For folk artists who prefer a warmer sound, the Rode M1 dynamic microphone is a reliable and cost-effective option.

5. Classical and Opera Singers

Classical and opera singers require microphones that can capture the full dynamic range of their voices. Since these performances often take place in acoustically rich venues, the microphone must complement the space without overpowering the natural sound. The AKG C520 headworn condenser microphone is an excellent choice, offering hands-free operation and superior vocal clarity.

For handheld options, the Sennheiser MD 441-U provides outstanding accuracy and is considered one of the best microphones for live vocals in classical settings.

Features to Look for in the Best Microphones for Live Singing

When selecting the best microphone for singing live, keep the following features in mind:

Durability: Live performances can be unpredictable, so a microphone should withstand wear and tear.

Polar Pattern: Cardioid and supercardioid patterns are ideal for live settings as they focus on the singer’s voice while rejecting background noise.

Sound Quality: Look for microphones that enhance your voice’s natural tone and handle dynamic ranges well.

Feedback Resistance: Feedback can ruin a performance, so choose a mic designed to minimize this issue.

Comfort and Handling: For handheld microphones, ensure they are lightweight and easy to grip.

Conclusion

The best microphone for singing live varies depending on your singing style, performance needs, and budget. Whether you're a powerhouse rock vocalist, a smooth jazz singer, or an intimate folk artist, there’s a microphone out there tailored to your needs. Investing in the best microphone for live vocals not only elevates your performance but also ensures your audience hears you at your very best.

By understanding your genre and the unique demands of live performances, you can confidently choose a microphone that complements your voice and style. From dynamic mics for high-energy gigs to sensitive condensers for detailed vocal work, the right microphone is a crucial tool in every singer’s arsenal.

New Year, New (Old) Sounds in the Public Domain!

On January 1st, 2022, all sound recordings made before 1923 entered the public domain, an estimated 400,000 sound recordings that document the beginning of recording technologies and include a rich variety of musical styles, such as vaudeville, ragtime, and early jazz. Some notable examples highlighted by the Association for Recorded Sound Collections are “Crazy Blues,” performed by Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds in 1920, and a 1917 recording of “Dixieland Jass Band One-Step” by the Original Dixieland Jass Band. The 78 rpm records seen here are part of the Oberlin Conservatory Library’s James R. and Susan Neumann Jazz Collection, and the sheet music is part of the Stanley King Jazz Collection.

Learn more about the Music Modernization Act, passed by Congress in 2018, that allows these recordings to enter the public domain. Listen to pre-1923 sound recordings available at The Public Domain Review, the Internet Archive, and the National Jukebox at the Library of Congress. And lastly, join the virtual party for Public Domain Day on January 20th: A Celebration of Sound. Cheers!

Alice Babs (January 26, 1924 - 2014) was a talented Swedish jazz, pop and classical vocalist. As a young woman she acted in many Swedish films, but it’s as a vocalist that she has left a lasting legacy, for instance in the swing trio Swe-Danes with Svend Asmussen (violin) and Ulrik Neumann (guitar).

She moved apparently effortlessly between pop, jazz and classical oratories - sometime gracing cross-over works such as Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts 2 and 3 with her voice.

Ellington and Babs recorded this album together in Paris in 1963 - and altogether Babs appeared on more than 800 recordings throughout her career…
