The project is organized into four case studies that span the history of recorded music, from pre-1900 phonograph advertising to 21st- century popular music. After an introductory chapter that frames the study and presents its main themes, Chapter II explores the early years of the recorded music industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to uncover the birth of modern branding as a commercial strategy in the music industry. I argue that branding practices were an adaptation to the development and challenges of new technologies. With their seminal and successful Red Seal line of records, the Victor Talking Machine Company responded to the development of mass duplication processes, harnessed high-brow cultural cachet, and aggressively marketed iv their products on a mass scale. Chapter III investigates the anti-commercial attitudes of communities, musicians such as Joan Baez, and—paradoxically—businesses in the urban “folk music revival” of the 1960s. Relationally-focused branding strategies were emphasized in order to counteract the perceived corruption of a commercially-focused industry. Chapter IV brings the discussion into the 21st century by introducing and analyzing the music and career of American “indie-folk” musician and composer Sufjan Stevens, especially as mediated through the alternative music press. Stevens aligns himself with what I call the “artist brand,” which simultaneously pits him ideologically against commercialism and provides him with a powerful marketing strategy. Chapter V describes how Apple Inc.’s attention to product design and packaging in their original iPod solved a tension between digital music technology and the listening experience. Through an analysis of iPod advertisements, I argue that Apple sought to promote the iPod as an enhancer of cultural status and the listener as a star. This dissertation introduces branding as an influential factor in music commodification and advocates for the development of more music-branding studies. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Mark Christopher Samples GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene Point Loma Nazarene University, San Diego, California DEGREES AWARDED: Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology, University of Oregon, 2011 Bachelor of Arts, Music Theory and Composition, Point Loma Nazarene University, 2003 AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Music and Branding Popular Music Music in Contemporary Media 19th-Century Opera PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Instrumental Music Editor, Neil A.

Special thanks go to Loren Kajikawa for helping me pursue and develop the ideas in this dissertation, and to Marian Smith for mentoring me throughout my time at the University of Oregon. My sincere appreciation goes also to the members of my committee, Anne Dhu McLucas, John Fenn, and Scott Pratt for their sharp eyes, astute questions, and interest in my topic. Each member of the musicology and ethnomusicology faculty at the University of Oregon has influenced me by reading my work, discussing ideas, or encouraging my scholarship, and for their extraordinary generosity I would like to thank Lori Kruckenberg, Mark Levy, Marc Vanscheeuwijck, and Carl Woideck. I am very thankful to my fellow graduate students, especially Zachary Wallmark for our ongoing musical dialogue and friendship, and to Eliot Grasso, for the semi-weekly meetings, reading drafts, and providing many comments that made my ideas and arguments better. Judy Tsou, at the University of Washington Library, assisted me by facilitating the scanning of the notes of some needed Joan Baez records. For creating the wonderful diagram in Chapter V, and for many long conversations about music, design, branding, Sufjan Stevens, Apple, and other sundry topics I am grateful to Glenn Geisendorfer. A version of the argument in Chapter IV was read at the 2011 AMS Pacific Northwest Chapter meeting in Bellingham, Washington. My thanks to the participants for their interest in the topic, and their questions, which helped me refine my ideas of that chapter at a late date. Thanks also to the University of Oregon’s music librarian, Leslie Bennett, for her encyclopedic knowledge, and for suggesting several resources that have viii influenced the ideas in this dissertation. Thanks to my brother, my extended family, and my wife’s parents, Rick and Clover, all of whom have cheered me on at every milestone. I owe much to my parents, Doug and Cheryl, who have always supported my passion for music, and never questioned that I could find in it a career. I am thankful every day for my son, who reminds me why I do this, and to Jenny, to whom this dissertation is dedicated, and without whose unending support this document would never have reached completion. Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself. ix For Jenny x TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

  • Inside the Acms with RAC Clark Our Annual Interview with Exec
    April 18, 2016, Issue 495 Inside The ACMs With RAC Clark Our annual interview with Exec. Producer RAC Clark offers insight into the 51st ACM Awards (4/3) and many of its notable performances. CA: Let’s hit the numbers first and talk about this year’s ratings... RAC: They sucked. I’ll just say that. They sucked. [Ed. Note: 11.18 million viewers, 2.3 rating/7 share]. But it was one of the more competitive nights we’ve had since being up against the American Idol finale a few years back. The Walking Dead was big. The iHeart awards didn’t rate that well, really, so I don’t think that hurt us. The Walking Dead really got us and Steve Harvey’s Little Big Shots is a new hit on NBC that actually beat us in the second half-hour at 8pm. We won the night, but ratings were down year- to-year after a spectacular year in Dallas with the 50th. When we talked to producer Robert Deaton about the CMAs, he said, “I’ve never completely understood wanting to compare us against the AMAs, Grammys, ACMs or In A Big Way: EMI/Nashville’s Eric Paslay (third Oscars.” His point was, an awards show’s competition is from right) with (l-r) WEBG (Big 95.5)/Chicago’s Erik what it’s facing that night, not something that’s airing in Zachary and Mason, EMI’s Chris Fabiani and the an entirely different month. Do you agree? station’s Steve Stewart, Alabama and Remy. (continued on page 7) ©2016 Country Aircheck™ — All rights reserved.

    MEDIA RELEASE DOUG FOGELSON ANTHEM EXHIBIT DATES: September 5–October 11 OPENING RECEPTION: September 5, 6:00–8:00 p.m. KLOMPCHING GALLERY is pleased to announce Anthem, premiering new photographic artwork by Doug Fogelson, in the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will open with a reception on Thursday, September 5, 6:00–8:00pm, with Doug Fogelson in attendance. Anthem is the most recent installment of Fogelson’s extensive Chemical Alterations series, in which the artist perceptively combines the subject of nature, with the (de)construction of the photograph, to comment upon the human impact on the environment. Fogelson’s methodology begins with photographing biologically diverse landscapes using analog film. Back in the studio, the artist subjects the processed film to a range of common industrial chemicals—draining away and altering colors in the film’s emulsion, and at times melting away the layers of dye coupler all the way to the film’s plastic base. Through this destruction salt crystals, bubbles, dust, markings and patterns come to the foreground, while the original representational Doug Fogelson, Anthem No. 13, 2019, archival pigment print. portions of the photograph all but disappear. The eight photographs in the exhibition—lush in color—are at once beautifully rendered abstractions, and also for the artist Lucerne, Switzerland.

  • God Only Knows: Historia Zespołu the Beach Boys Oraz Albumu Pet Sounds I Ich Wpływ Na Współczesną Muzykę Rozrywkową
    Maciej Smółka God Only Knows: historia zespołu The Beach Boys oraz albumu Pet Sounds i ich wpływ na współczesną muzykę rozrywkową Wstęp W 1966 roku miało miejsce wiele znaczących wydarzeń dla muzyki rozrywko- wej. Spośród nich można wymienić m.in. powstanie The Jimi Hendrix Experien- ce, premierę debiutanckiego albumu Franka Zappy i The Mothers of Invention pt. Freak Out!, ostatni koncert The Beatles czy słynny wypadek motocyklowy Boba Dylana. W tym samym roku, pewnego majowego dnia stała się rzecz, która do dzisiaj kształtuje gusta muzyczne kolejnych pokoleń i odciska na nich piętno – swoją premierę miał wtedy album Pet Sounds zespołu The Beach Boys. Przez wielu zapomniany, mimo to oddziaływujący podświadomie na urozmai- canie nowych nurtów we współczesnej muzyce rozrywkowej na całym świecie. Dzisiaj uznawany za jedno z największych osiągnięć artystycznych, wtedy za niepotrzebny wybryk maszynki do tworzenia przebojów. Obecnie coraz więcej krytyków muzycznych zaczyna badać ogrom zjawiska, którym jest powszechne czerpanie wzorców z The Beach Boys, lecz charakter naukowy stanowi niewielki procent tego procederu. Widoczne inspirowanie się tym zespołem istniało już od kilku dekad, lecz stało się jeszcze bardziej po- pularne po długo oczekiwanym wydaniu w 2004 roku albumu Smile autorstwa głównego kompozytora i założyciela The Beach Boys Briana Wilsona. Płyta została wydana po 37 latach od stworzenia i przez ten okres zdążyła osiągnąć status legendarnej1. Krążek, zaraz po premierze, uzyskał ogólnoświatowe uzna- 1 J.
