Following a theoretical review of nonverbal communication in relation to existing popular song theories, methods, and practices, The Beatles are evaluated as a research topic. Questions arising from this study are given alongside related methods for analysis. This is a general framework and specific methods are given in the relevant chapters. In Chapter 2 The Beatles’ engagement with cover songs, from across the Atlantic, is highlighted as a major influence on their early vocal style. Examples from the ‘Golden Era’ and early 1950s rock’n’roll artists contextualise certain features of paralanguage. The influence of African-American music comes to the forefront and continues to arise in sociology and historical studies of popular song. Whilst introducing the cover song as a learning tool, it simultaneously gives a study of select artists who influenced The Beatles. The influence of these artists contributes to their use of paralanguage, alongside harmonies, melodies, rhythms, and lyrics. Chapter 3 analyses primary voice qualities in relation to The Beatles’ vocal style. These person-identifying features are shown to contribute to expression in their songs. By approaching the recording as a soundscape, and focusing on arch-shaped intonation, the analysis gives examples from their songs and cover songs. Terminology, derived from architecture, is employed for clarity in subsequent chapters. It is proposed that pitch bends, characteristic of arch-shaped intonation, probably stemmed from a country- western influence. Chapter 4 examines the content of voice, that is vocal qualifiers alongside tone-colour. Building on Barthes’ ‘Grain of the voice’, the physiological process of vocal-fry, falsetto, and head voice are examined alongside a narrative interpretation. The qualifiers are shown to date back to early American song with an Afro-Arabian influence. The types of qualifier are further explored through themes of despair, gender, and mockery. Chapter 5 takes a parallel path and analyses the process of stop time and pause in interaction through vocal alternants. Stop time, a centuries old technique, is shown to communicate beyond pitches and words in song. The types of alternants developed from The Beatles’ emulation of their predecessors, are developed into narrative markers in their own songs. Chapter 6 synthesises the previous three chapters in terms of differentiators. These are the emotional characteristics of speech, which carry psychological states of mind. They not only show the presence and function of paralanguage in The Beatles’ songs and cover songs, they are developed alongside their song-writing. It suggests that the soundscape, arising from paralinguistic primary qualities, qualifiers, and alternants, may be understood through Tensegrity. Chapter 7 gives an interpretation of differentiators, modified by the expressive tropes from Chapters 3-5, and introduces dialect as a differentiator in performance. The Beatles’ mid-late period and solo albums are compared alongside examples from their demos and outtakes. The combination of paralanguage and persona gives rise to multiple interpretations of The Beatles’ songs and their solo output. The final chapter draws together the expressive tropes explored throughout the study in terms of paralanguage as expressive devices. The importance of these tropes, giving rise to personae, are evaluated in the broader study of performance and learning theory. This builds toward several avenues for further research in popular song.

Stockholm: Royal College of Music (KMH) & Art of Record Production. Alan Williams: Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre Abstract Multi-channel sonic experience is derived from a myriad of technological processes, shaped by market forces, configured by creative decision makers and translated through audience taste preferences. From the failed launch of quadrophonic sound in the 1970s, through the currently limited, yet sustained niche market for 5.1 music releases, a select number of mix engineers and producers established paradigms for defining expanded sound stages. Whe- reas stereophonic mix practices in popular music became ever more codified during the 1970s, the relative paucity of multi-channel releases has preserved the individual sonic fingerprint of mixers working in surround sound. More- over, market forces have constricted their work to musical genres that appeal to the audiophile community that supports the format. This study examines the work of Elliot Scheiner, Bob Clearmountain, Giles Martin, and Steven Wilson to not only analyze the sonic signatures of their mixes, but to address how their conceptions of the soundstage become associated with specific genres, and serve to establish micro-genres of their own. I conclude by ar- guing that auteurs such as Steven Wilson have amassed an audience for their mixes, with a catalog that crosses genre boundaries, establishing a mode of listening that in itself represents an emergent genre – surround rock.

  • Badass Band 47- MAKAR
    Badass Band 47- MAKAR (hps://badassbandsblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/makar.jpg) Jonesing for a dynamic guy/girl duo to add to your music repertoire? Look no further music lovers. Not only is this duo talented musically, they are after this music fiend’s own heart considering that the members are writers aside from their songwriting, Andrea is even a published poet. They are quite out of the ordinary as you will find in listening to their tunes, and their range is broad which offers ear solace to any kind of music lover. Badass Band 47 is New York’s MAKAR. MAKAR is another band that found me, and once their tunes hit my ears, I had a hard time deciding which of them I liked best. It was almost as if I went into super ADD mode, I was clicking on all their tracks trying to decide which I liked best right off the bat and they were all so different I couldn’t sele on one. I ended up forcing myself to just download them all and listen to them in order from start to finish. So, that being said, let’s start by talking about the vocals. Andrea’s vocals I can really only describe as light and refreshing. They have power, but not in the traditional sense, in the sense that they are so soft and singsongy that you just can help but listen. For me this is especially exemplified on songs like ‘I Wanna Know What I Don’t Know’ or ‘Belong Here’ As for Mark, his voice is deep but also keeps the more light, singsongy quality that Andrea’s has.

  • Electric Light Orchestra – Secret
    Electric Light Orchestra – Secret Messages [Double- Vinyl-Reissue] (34:06, 37:57; 2 LP,Sony Music/Legacy, 1983/2018) Immer wieder stolpert man als Musikliebhaber über skurrile Geschichten in Zusammenhang mit Veröffentlichungen berühmter Alben. Auch das im Juni 1983 erschienene Werk „Secret Messages“ vom „Electric Light Orchestra“ hat eine ungewöhnliche Entstehungsgeschichte. Jeff Lynne hatte im Vorfeld der Produktion eine besonders produktive Kompositionsphase, sodass während der Sessions zu „Secret Messages“ nicht weniger als 18 Songs aufgenommen wurden. Nichts lag näher als aus „Secret Messages“ ein Doppelalbum zu machen. Dass ELO in Sachen Doppelalben ein gutes Standing hatten, hatte bereits „Out Of The Blue“ eindrucksvoll bewiesen. Aber nix da – Der Boss von CBS legte wegen zu hoher Produktionskosten sein Veto ein, und so wurde aus „Secret Messages“ nur eine einfache LP/CD mit 10 bzw. 11 Stücken. Zwar wurden etliche gestrichene Stücke als Single-B- Seiten doch noch veröffentlicht, doch „Secret Messages“ war ein Kastrat und vielleicht auch deshalb deutlich weniger erfolgreich als sein Vorläufer. Dazu kam ein recht typischer Achtziger-PVC-Klang, der hie und da auch nicht dem Gusto der Fangemeinde entsprach. Zum Schutz Ihrer persönlichen Daten ist die Verbindung zu YouTube blockiert worden.

  • Par Richard Baillargeon
    par Richard Baillargeon Pour la 3 e fois à Québec, la 2 e fois dans mon cas, et pour la première fois dans une prestation à l'intérieur, Paul McCartney nous offrait un généreux périple à travers son imposan- te production d'un demi-siècle en musique-chanson populaire. L'événement lançait sa nouvelle tournée Freshen Up , le lundi soir 17 septembre 2018, dix jours seulement après le lancement, dûment célébré par les fans de Beatles Québec, de son album Egypt Station . Pour ceux qui avaient opté pour la version VIP de l'événement, la fête avait commencé en milieu d'après-midi. Mais c'est plutôt en tant que fan 'simple citoyen' que je m'approchai du Centre Vidéotron vers 18h 30, billet de la section 209 en main. Déjà, des files de spectateurs se formaient et déambulaient lentement en direction de l'angle sud-est de l'amphithéâtre, là où se trouve l'accès principal. Sur la Place Jean-Béliveau, il était impossible de ne pas remarquer le bus à impériale (double-decker bus) aux couleurs de l'exposition Ici Londres du Musée de la civilisation. Au second étage du véhicule, le groupe Les Respectables créait l'ambiance avec leur mélange de mélodies beatlesques, de standards pop et de quelques-uns de leurs propres succès. Je décidai cependant de ne pas trop m'attarder, ayant déjà perçu des mouvements de foule du côté des portes. L'entrée se fit aisément, la quantité des postes de contrôle facilitant l'exercice. Ce fut une excellente idée d'entrer sur-le-champ car le flot des spectateurs allait dès lors se faire constant jusqu'au début du spectacle qui eut lieu vers 20h 10.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 77 JANUARY 28TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #77! I hope you had a better view of the much-hyped lunar-eclipse than I did---the combination of clouds and sleep made it a non-event for me. Full moon or no, we're all Bozos on this bus---in the front seat is Larry Schenbeck, who brings us music to counterbalance the blah weather; Dan Schwartz brings us Burritos for lunch; Richard Murison brings us a non-Python Life of Brian; Jay Jay French chats with Giles Martin about the remastered White Album; Roy Hall tells us about an interesting day; Anne E. Johnson looks at lesser-known cuts from Steely Dan's long career; Christian James Hand deconstructs the timeless "Piano Man"; Woody Woodward is back with a piece on seminal blues guitarist Blind Blake; and I consider comfort music, and continue with a Vintage Whine look at Fairchild. Our reviewer friend Vade Forrester brings us his list of guidelines for reviewers. Industry News will return when there's something to write about other than Sears. Copper#77 wraps up with a look at the unthinkable from Charles Rodrigues, and an extraordinary Parting Shot taken in London by new contributor Rich Isaacs. Enjoy, and we’ll see you soon! Cheers, Leebs. Stay Warm TOO MUCH TCHAIKOVSKY Written by Lawrence Schenbeck It’s cold, it’s gray, it’s wet. Time for comfort food: Dvořák and German lieder and tuneful chamber music. No atonal scratching and heaving for a while! No earnest searches after our deepest, darkest emotions. What we need—musically, mind you—is something akin to a Canadian sitcom.
