 TURNTABLE BRINGS CARNEGIE HALL TO ITS FEET
WORLD PREMIERE OF CONCERTO FOR TURNTABLE
October 2, 2005 - DJ Radar and the Red Bull Artsehcro received a standing ovation at Carnegie Hall today when they performed the world premiere of “Concerto for Turntable”. This three movement piece was conceived and composed by Raúl Yáñez to help legitimize the turntable as an instrument, and at the same time push the boundaries of classical music. “The Concerto format and classical music is very strict; Raul had taken a lot of chances, not only with the turntable but with just the form of it. He’s really kind of opening Pandora’s Box,” Radar stated.
The Red Bull Artsehcro’s tuba player, Angelo Kortyka described the night as, “A glimpse into the future of classical music, and having done it at Carnegie makes it the best.” This landmark event was one of the first times a turntable has been on-stage in Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium.

 Radar, Bombshelter Crew Fly Over No-Rules ZoneAnything goes for turntablist — who made history after scratching composition with orchestra — and genre-spanning DJ group. By Corey Moss Several DJs have incorporated live instruments into their sets recently, but none have done it quite like Radar. Earlier this month, the Phoenix turntablist made history by performing "Concerto for Turntable #1" with an 80-piece symphony orchestra. |

 What happens when you blend a hall full of classically trained musicians and a turntablist in the mix? Not an easy equation to solve, by all accounts. One DJ has found certainly ways to break down and explore the barriers between classical movements and hip hop motion, and he shares that knowledge with us. In this second part of his lecture, Radar dismantles the science of the score. In his view, notation does not always equal frustration - quite the opposite. He's learnt his own way to scribble down those nifty scratches, which he shares and demonstrates with plenty of live slicing and dicing on the wax. Ever wondered what notes a crab scratch creates? Or are you keen on the master the secret of the ultimate drum shuffle? And how do those jazz musicians manage to keep in time with the beats? You're tuned to the right station.

 (CBS) Among the many sounds at Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, where the only music on the curriculum is contemporary, one could say its latest is a sort of throwback to the past
Today, the turntable is no longer just for playing music, but making music. At Berklee, the turntable is the instrument.
