We’re just here to make sure that this information is passed on to one generation to the next. And Roy, whenever you’re ready? Because he’s gonna give us the green light. Um, what I thought we’d do is begin to focus on a couple of areas. One of them is the history of the um, family business - from its origins to your involvement, but perhaps before we get involved with that, one of the things I would like you to talk about is the company’s reforestation efforts. And I think it was the late 40s, early 50s?

  • Music Glocalization
    Music Glocalization Master Thesis Submitted on September 16, 2019 Pages: 58 Character count: 96,127 Student number: 122725 Name: Giulia Laregina Supervisor: Alexander Josiassen 1 Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Literature Review 7 Conceptual Model 17 Preliminary Analysis 20 Hypotheses 37 Method 41 Results 46 Discussion 52 Conclusion 57 Bibliography 60 Discography 69 Appendix I - A Brief History of Italian Trap Music 71 Appendix II – SPSS Data 74 2 Abstract Almost two decades after its birth, trap music is now a worldwide phenomenon. Nevertheless, despite its popularity - or better, precisely because of it - in the past years trap music has been heavily criticized over and over again, being depicted as an evil force that is gradually wiping out musical diversity from the world. But is trap music really always the same? To answer this question, this Master Thesis analyzed the Italian trap music case, one of the many examples of trap music glocalization. This Thesis had a dual approach: first, descriptive, and then quantitative, in order to present the most objective evaluation possible. The descriptive analysis compared our global music form - namely, American trap music - and of our glocal music form - namely, Italian trap music. Then, the findings of the aforementioned analysis were used to better specify the similarities and differences of the two music forms, both in terms of sound and of feelings. Finally, the findings were tested using some of the so-called Spotify audio features. The quantitative analysis confirmed the two main hypotheses of the Thesis: Italian trap music sound very similar to American trap music, but ultimately feels quite different from it.
