I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Denise Von Glahn, for her constant dedication to both my work and my growth as a scholar. Her enthusiasm, intellectual guidance, and meticulous editing have shaped this document in innumerable ways. I could have not asked for a better mentor. It has been a pleasure to work with you.

I am grateful to each member of my committee for her or his attentiveness, dedication, and friendship. Additionally, I am fortunate to have been a part of the musicology area at Florida State University: a collegial group of scholars that have been welcoming and supportive. In particular I would like to thank Dr. Michael Bakan and Dr. Michael Broyles for their guidance and assistance both in and outside the classroom. This dissertation could not have been written without the graciousness of the musicians in this study. Thank you to Adam, Eric, Jason, Josh, Emily, Ain, Grey, Dan, and Nick for inviting me to attend your rehearsals, performances, and festivals, onto your tour bus, and into your home. Your generosity has been paramount. I am also grateful to Susan Busch and Drew Swinburne at Vanishing Point Management for their assistance, and I am especially appreciative of Yumi Tamashiro, who graciously arranged my accommodations on several research trips. The Carol F. and Richard P. Krebs Fellowship, the Curtis Mayes Fellowship, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Scholarship supported this research. I am thankful to have had their financial support. In my position as a Research Sponsor for the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) at Florida State University I had the opportunity to work with several fantastic students. I am particularly indebted to the consummate and thorough work of Casie McCrea and Aleyna Brown. Their research shaped my thinking and expanded my bibliography. They both approached their work with high levels of professionalism and attention to detail. I am deeply grateful for my friends and colleagues. I want to thank the members of the Steve Holt! trivia team for being a constant source of companionship, laughter, and victory. I am iii forever indebted to Alexandria Carrico, Catherine Hall, Tristan Hall, Megan MacDonald, Nathan MacDonald, Heather Paudler, Tim Storhoff, Brian Wilcoxon, and Kimi Wilcoxon for their ever- present camaraderie, honest feedback on my work, and their incomprehensible ability to proofread an abstract at a moment’s notice. Seriously, y’all are the best. I am grateful to have worked with my friend and creative partner, Sarah Wilcoxon, and look forward to our future collaborations. My Florida State colleagues have been a wellspring of strength and inspiration. To Vanessa: thank you for your support, kindness, and friendship, I won’t forget it. Finally, my family has been essential to my success. To my sisters, Kate and Betsy: thanks for always being there, teaching me about art, and tolerating your big brother. Mom and Dad, you have always encouraged me to pursue my goals and provided me the opportunity to do so. Your hard work, compassion for others, and dedication to our family have supplied me a model for the rest of my life. I doubt I can thank you enough, but I’ll try. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures................................................................................................................................ ix Abstract............................................................................................................................................x 1.

The song— ecomusicology; ecocriticism; and its accompanying music video—features musical, lyrical, and audiovisual means of popular music; Iceland registering the turbulence of living in volcanic landscapes. My analysis of Sigur Rós’s music opens up a window into an Icelandic cultural history of inhabiting a risky Earth, a condition captured by anthropologist Gísli Pálsson’s concept of geosociality, which emerged from his ethnography in communities living with volcanoes.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

    17th Biennial Conference of IASPM | Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Challenging Orthodoxies | Gijón 2013 Contents Welome 2 Conference programme 4 Abstracts 24 Panels 133 iaspm2013.espora.es 1 17th Biennial Conference of IASPM | Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Challenging Orthodoxies | Gijón 2013 Dear IASPM Conference Delegates, Welcome to Gijón, and to the 17th biennial IASPM Conference “Bridge over Troubled Waters”, a conference with participants from all over the world with the aim of bridging a gap between disciplines, perspectives and cultural contexts. We have received more than 500 submissions, of which some 300 made it to the programme, together with four outstanding keynote speakers. This Conference consolidates the increasing participation of Spanish delegates in previous conferences since the creation of the Spanish branch of IASPM in 1999, and reinforces the presence of Popular Music Studies at the Spanish universities and research groups. The University of Oviedo is one of the pioneer institutions in the Study of Popular Music in Spain; since the late nineties, this field of study is constantly growing due to the efforts of scholars and students that approach this repertoire from an interdisciplinary perspective. As for the place that hosts the conference, Gijón is an industrial city with an important music scene. I wouldn´t call it the Spanish Liverpool, but some critics called it the Spanish Seattle because it was an important place for the development of “noise music” in Spain during the 1990s. The venue, Laboral, is an exponent of the architecture of the dictatorship. Finished in 1956, it was conceived as a school for war orphans to learn a trade and in 2007 it was remodeled to become a “city for culture”.
