    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Arc of Life – Arc of Life
    Arc Of Life – Arc Of Life (57:25, CD,Frontiers Music/Soulfood, 2021) Der Gebrauch des Begriffs Supergroup nimmt bisweilen beängstigend inflationäre Züge an. Okay, drei der Mitglieder von Arc Of Life gehören zum aktuellen Line-up von Yes. Doch sind Sänger Jon Davison, Bassist / Sänger Billy Sherwood und Schlagzeuger Jay Schellen mehr in die Kategorie der soliden Historienverwalter des Prog Dinosauriers zu betrachten, als dass sie zu den prägenden Protagonisten in der jüngeren Yes Geschichte zählen würden. Vervollständigt wird das Quartett von Keyboarder Dave Kerzner (u.a. Sound Of Contact, Dave Kerzner Band) und Gitarrist Jimmy Haun, der u.a. einen Teil der Gitarrenparts auf dem 91er Yes Album „Union“ beisteuerte. Der Fünfer sieht sich als Band, statt nur als loses Projekt und möchte laut Pressemitteilung die Progressive-Rock- Philosophie fortführen, dabei kreative, fordernde, aber auch ohrenfreundliche Musik erschaffen, die Grenzen überschreitet. Nun ja, hehre Worte, die Realität hört sich (nach eigenem Empfinden) dann doch etwas anders an. Denn Arc Of Life drückt in erster Linie Billy Sherwood seinen deutlich vernehmbaren Stempel auf. Die zehn Titel klingen damit weit weniger nach eigenständiger Band, denn nach einem weiteren Soloalbum des ohnehin enorm umtriebigen Sherwood. Vieles ist daher von einem Mix aus Symphonic Rock und AOR geprägt, der die deutliche HandschriftSherwood s trägt: mehrstimmige, verschachtelte Arrangements, voluminöse, überladen produzierte Sounds mit melodischem Einschlag. Das ist zwar gefällig anzuhören, verfügt stellenweise über einen erkennbaren Anspruch, doch krankt dieses Album einmal mehr an einer überfrachteten Orientierungslosigkeit. Hier dominiert mehr Schein als Sein, denn von den Melodien bleibt nichts so recht hängen, die Instrumentalparts lassen spielerisches Können erkennen, fügen sich aber mitunter etwas zufällig in den Gesamtkontext ein.

  • Denis Diderot a Zenei Hallás a Hang Hallása Felé Törekszik. Ez Abszurd
    LENGYEL ZOLTÁN A HANGRÓL A SWANS ZENEKAR (1982-1997) EMLÉKÉRE* A vakok számára is létezik tehát festészet, amelyhez saját bőrük szolgáltatja a vásznat. Denis Diderot A zenei hallás a hang hallása felé törekszik. Ez abszurd, de nem nonszensz: a zene fogalma lényegileg a hangok közötti különbségekre és azok változásaira van utalva, eleve plurális és kombinatorikus fogalom, a különböző hangok közötti időben kibomló viszonyok alkotják a zenét. Egy örökké kitartott izolált tiszta hang képzete, mert az anyag ellenállása miatt ez csak képzet lehet, ez is tekinthető zenének, és ez esetben ennek a hangnak a csendtől való különbözősége lesz meghatározó, ezzel a besorolással azonban megszűnik a zene fogalma. Ez nem praktikus a fogalom- és nyelvhasználat szempontjából. Hogy a zenei hallás a hang hallása felé, eme idea felé törekszik, önmagában nem jelenti azt, hogy a zaj feltétlenül zavaró tényező lenne a zenében, csak azt, hogy nem lényegi. A csend viszont logikailag és érzékileg lényegi. A hangmagasság szempontjából az alaphangok alaphangja, az időtartam szempontjából a szünet, és így tovább. Hang és csend egymástól kölcsönösen függő fogalmak, azok számára, akik hallanak. A hang hallása tehát a csend hallása és megfordítva, egyik nincs a másik nélkül. Ez a gondolatmenet pedig hamarosan metafizikai börleszkbe torkollik, át kell minél előbb csapnia a modellezésbe és a metaforákba, mielőtt a síri csend vagy egy féktelen nevetés végtelen örvénye elnyelné. A hang meghallásának rögeszméje végső értelemben vakságot jelent. A hagyományosnak mondható érzékterület-felosztás szerint a hallás és a látás a két 42 leginkább szellemi és lelki érzék. Az ember érzékelő-képessége véges akkor is, ha nem sérült; ha a két legintellektuálisabbnak mondott érzéki képesség közül az egyik kisajátítja egy képzeletbeli általános érzékelő-képesség kapacitását, az a másik lehetőségeit minimumra redukálja.
