  • 1 Analysis of Emotional Tones in Top Hit Song Lyrics in Relation To
    Analysis of Emotional Tones in Top Hit Song Lyrics in Relation to Economic Cycles from 1990-2010 Honors Undergraduate Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Business Administration Degree with Honors Research Distinction in the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University By Sharon Yeh Undergraduate Degree in Business Administration with an Operations & Logistics Specialization The Ohio State University 2019 Thesis Committee: Dr. Roger Bailey Dr. Hyunwoo Park Dr. Elliot Bendoly 1 Copyright by Sharon Yeh 2018 2 Abstract While music preferences in society have always changed throughout the decades, we recognize that various external factors and trends—including the economic environment-- affect the type of music we listen to. To this end, we seek to explore the relationship between economic measures and musical preferences in order to better understand how our external environment can affect the emotions that we choose to express and consume. This research analyzes the ways in how economic conditions (expansionary or contractionary periods) can be related to the tone of music that we listen to (such as joy, anger, and sadness). In this analysis, I found that in times of economic contractions, song lyrics were more likely to exhibit analytical and confidence tones, while in economic expansions’ lyrics tend to show more tones of sadness and anger. In understanding how something as external as economic cycles can influence something as internal as musical preferences, we can continue to seek out how our microenvironment affects our microenvironment. While this research can have practical application (such as providing insight to the music industry for forecasting musical preferences), I believe, more importantly, that this research can help society uncover and contemplate how their external environment influences and shapes their preferences, beliefs, and identity across generations.

  • A Shaman, a Sherpa, and a Healer: a Post-Intentional
    A SHAMAN, A SHERPA, AND A HEALER: A POST-INTENTIONAL PHENOMENOLOGY OF SONGWRITING by BRIAN E. KUMM (Under the Direction of Corey W. Johnson) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of songwriting. Through a series of in depth interviews, three songwriters provided rich descriptions of their lived experiences with the phenomenon. Post-intentional phenomenology was used as the primary guiding theoretical framework for this study, which negotiated the tenets of both phenomenology and poststructuralism. Songwriting was described in terms of portaling, everesting, and gravitating-levitating and was revealed as a complex phenomenon of cathartic and transcendent experiences. The findings highlight the need for unstructured, expressive, and artistic leisure, which can be transformative in times of personal or social unrest.

  • 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.
