    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.

  • The Dunedin Sound: Your Photos Wanted!
    e Dunedin Sound – Your photos wanted! Like the memories they capture, they may be blurry, fuzzy and have faded a little with time – but Department of Music senior lecturer Ian Chapman still wants to use your pictures in his latest book. Dr Chapman is writing a book on the music produced by bands such as The Verlaines, The Chills and The Bats from the 1970s to the early 1990s which is now described as the ‘Dunedin Sound’. Dr Chapman hopes to include images taken by former Otago students during the Dunedin Sound’s hey-day, or by those who were at some of the seminal performances. Whether the photos are big, small, black and white, colour, sharp, blurry, digital, or prints – and especially if they are previously unpublished – images will be considered for publication in the book, he says. In return, those who submit images included in the publication will receive a copy of the book. All original photos will be returned to their owners. As well as exploring the bands and the contribution they made to New Zealand music, Dr Chapman says the book will discuss definitions of the Dunedin Sound – the term, for example, is often equated with Flying Nun records, but he points out that not all bands signed to the New Zealand label were based in Dunedin. Dr Chapman has written extensively on the music and career of pop-icon David Bowie and previously performed as “alter-ego” Dr Glam until he retired the character in 2014. He has also written on New Zealand music, with publications on Kiwi 'rock chicks', and most recently, New Zealand glam rock.

  • And the Band Played on Pdf
    And the band played on pdf Continue Music fans were sad to learn that Tom Petty passed away at the age of 66 on Monday night. The musician became famous for his successful career as a solo artist, but worked with several bands, including The Heartbreakers. Who the Heartbreakers were Tom Petty showed they were more than a band. They were the longest-running group Petty had worked with, playing together since 1976. Since then, Petty has released more than a dozen albums, either in collaboration with The Heartbreakers or prominently. Together, the band is recognizable for some of Petty's favorite hits, including Mary Jane's Last Dance and American Girl. The introduction to American Girl has probably stuck in your head since the first time you heard it, but for some reason, you just never get tired of it. You have Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to thank for that. Petty also collaborated with the following bands: Mudcrutch (1970-1975), the supergroup The Traveling Willburys (1988-1990). On Petty's solo albums, The Heartbreakers served as studio musicians, and were additionally supported by Petty's collaborator stable. This stable famously included musicians like Jeff Lynne and George Harrison, who were also two of the petty bandmates in Willburys Travel. Petty recorded with Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and countless other industry icons, but The Heartbreakers were his constant. According to Petty's official website, the 2017 Heartbreakers included Campbell, Trench, bassist Ron Blair, rhythm guitarist Scott Thurston and percussionist Steve Ferrone. Ferrone joined in 1994 after drummer Stan Lynch left to work on other projects.

  • Ohad Benchetrit - Justin Small
    Ohad Benchetrit - Justin Small A bit about us, Ohad Benchetrit & Justin Small: As founding members of critically acclaimed Toronto based band Do Make Say Think, we have been creating engaging, epic, and emotional music together for over 23 years. As composers, our focus has always centered around melody, artistic integrity, passion, and spirited experimentation. This has opened the door to a decades long career in film composition. We’ve always picked projects with lots of heart and beauty and believe score to be an integral part of the story telling. To add color, and emotion but not to lead. To add feel but not to persuade. We’ve been honored with multiple awards, including the 2018 JUNO award for best instrumental album with our work with Do Make Say Think, the Best Original Score in 2016 at the LA scream Fest and a Canadian Screen Award in 2012 for Best original score for a documentary for Semi-Sweet: Life in Chocolate We pride ourselves on finding the right emotional tone that both the director and picture are trying to convey. With Ohad's classical training and Justin's minimalist and immediate sense of melody we feel we have created a unique sound and style of film composition that holds the emotional crux of the entire project in the highest order. We love what we do.

    Media: Please keep in mind, these liner notes are NOT the final approved copy. This is provided in working form to meet your deadlines. ARTIST: Aaron Neville TITLES: The Best Of Aaron Neville 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection CD #: 069 493 310-2 UPC #: 6 069 493 310-2 3 CD Logo: A&M Records Attached please find all necessary liner notes and credits for this package. Beth Aaron Neville The Best Of Aaron Neville 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection (CD Folder) The voice is an essential human miracle, the articulation of our anger, pride, joy, fear, hope, despair, devotion—the very expression of our soul. The musical voice is a double miracle, turning ordinary speech into art. That miraculous transformation is especially apparent in the artistry of Aaron Neville, who elevates every song he sings, even the most secular, to a level of spiritual grace. Like the ethereal beauty of his sound, Aaron’s singular style goes deep. He is unusual in all respects—the delicate tenor of his voice, the subtlety of his phrasing, the astounding variety of material he makes his own. Born January 24, 1941, in New Orleans, he is a product of not only the extraordinarily diverse currents that define that city’s musical culture, but a richly musical family as well. His older brother Art, a brilliant pianist and vocalist, was Aaron’s first influence; another older brother, Charles, a master saxophonist, taught him the refinement of jazz phrasing; and a younger brother, Cyril, became his soul-singing partner and closest ally.
