  • 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.

Bolig American Discography Project UC Santa Barbara Library © 2017 John R. Bolig. All rights reserved. ii The Victor Discography Series By John R. Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

  • Ian Ion Biography
    KEEP MAKING N O I Z E - IAN ION BIOGRAPHY Ian Ion, born in Copenhagen, started getting into music early, playing guitar at first. At fifteen, in the middle of the punk and new wave era, Ian got hold of a Korg synthesizer, started playing around and soon turned towards electronic music. In 1984 he formed the group Russia Heat (as Ian Maria) and released a very successful twelve-inch. Another single followed, and in '87 Ian was invited by Rune B and Dick D'Press to form the group The Overlords. With The Overlords, the threesome devised a very media and music conscious formula, mixing futuristic productions with hard-hitting images. The music, a blend of rock and electronica, was presented to an unsuspecting audience on the Roskilde Festival's Green Stage in the summer of '88, coinciding with the release of The Overlords' first album. After a trip to Goa in 1988, Ian found a new forum for electronic music. And after signing with front-runner techno label, Antler/Subway in Belgium, The Overlords released the classic track Sundown, that brought the band worldwide recognition and gave Ian the chance to work with many different artist including Blue Pearl, Billy Idol, Traci Lords, Sven Väth, Miro and Dr. Baker. Some of these collaborations brought Ian gold disks and chart positions all over the World. Meanwhile, Ian set up his own studio in central Copenhagen called The Grooveyard. Here he met psychedelic outfit Koxbox, who quickly started working with him to produce a very distinct sound that was instantly recognized on the underground scene.
