Turntablism refers to the use of turntables as musical instruments, essentially to alter and manipulate the sound of recorded music. Audio art refers to the arrangement of excerpts of musical selections, fragments of recorded speech, and ‘found sounds’ in unusual and original ways. The following paper outlines past and current difficulties in regulating these newer genres of music. It reports on an examination of programs from 22 community and campus stations across Canada. Given the abstract, experimental, and diverse nature of these programs, it may be difficult to incorporate them into the CRTC’s current music categories and the current MAPL system for Canadian Content. Nonetheless, turntablism and audio art reflect the diversity of Canada’s artistic community.

  • Cue Point Aesthetics: the Performing Disc Jockey In
    CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE By Benjamin De Ocampo Andres A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology Committee Membership Dr. Jennifer Eichstedt, Committee Chair Dr. Renee Byrd, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Graduate Coordinator May 2016 ABSTRACT CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE Benjamin De Ocampo Andres This qualitative research explores how social relations and intersections of popular culture, technology, and gender present in performance DJing. The methods used were interviews with performing disc jockeys, observations at various bars, and live music venues. Interviews include both women and men from varying ages and racial/ethnic groups. Cultural studies/popular culture approaches are utilized as the theoretical framework, with the aid of concepts including resistance, hegemony, power, and subcultures. Results show difference of DJ preference between analog and digital formats. Gender differences are evident in performing DJ's experiences on and off the field due to patriarchy in the DJ scene. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and Foremost, I would like to thank my parents and immediate family for their unconditional support and love. You guys have always come through in a jam and given up a lot for me, big up. To "the fams" in Humboldt, you know who you are, thank you so much for holding me down when the time came to move to Arcata, and for being brothers from other mothers. A shout out to Burke Zen for all the jokes cracked, and cigarettes smoked, at "Chinatown." You help get me through this and I would have lost it along time ago.

Acknowledgements It is with the utmost gratitude that I thank my brother, the anthropologist Ruy Blanes for his unwavering support, sympathetic guidance and most of all, his humor. His knowledge was a lifeline, for I could always count on his informed opinion, but his greatest aid was in letting me make my own mistakes, and then hinting at various ways to resolve them. It showed me that he was convinced that I was capable of finding my way out of the dead ends, and would overcome the trials and tribulations of writing a thesis. Thank you for believing in me, my brother. To my dear advisor, professor João Soeiro de Carvalho, I have nothing but words of gratitude.

  • Historical Development of Magnetic Recording and Tape Recorder 3 Masanori Kimizuka
    Historical Development of Magnetic Recording and Tape Recorder 3 Masanori Kimizuka ■ Abstract The history of sound recording started with the "Phonograph," the machine invented by Thomas Edison in the USA in 1877. Following that invention, Oberlin Smith, an American engineer, announced his idea for magnetic recording in 1888. Ten years later, Valdemar Poulsen, a Danish telephone engineer, invented the world's frst magnetic recorder, called the "Telegraphone," in 1898. The Telegraphone used thin metal wire as the recording material. Though wire recorders like the Telegraphone did not become popular, research on magnetic recording continued all over the world, and a new type of recorder that used tape coated with magnetic powder instead of metal wire as the recording material was invented in the 1920's. The real archetype of the modern tape recorder, the "Magnetophone," which was developed in Germany in the mid-1930's, was based on this recorder.After World War II, the USA conducted extensive research on the technology of the requisitioned Magnetophone and subsequently developed a modern professional tape recorder. Since the functionality of this tape recorder was superior to that of the conventional disc recorder, several broadcast stations immediately introduced new machines to their radio broadcasting operations. The tape recorder was soon introduced to the consumer market also, which led to a very rapid increase in the number of machines produced. In Japan, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which eventually changed its name to Sony, started investigating magnetic recording technology after the end of the war and soon developed their original magnetic tape and recorder. In 1950 they released the frst Japanese tape recorder.

  • The Evolution of DVD ECE 571G March 10, 1998
    The Evolution of DVD ECE 571G March 10, 1998 Raed Sunna Dave Tompkins This report is dedicated to some of the (relatively) unsuccessful or short-lived video and audio formats from the past 40 years: 3D Television 8 -Track ADAT Audiopak Betamax CD Plus CD Video CD-I Cinerama DAT DCC Echomatic EVR Fidelipac MiniDisc Photo CD Playtape Port-a-Pak ScoopMan S-DAT Selectavision Smell-O-Vision U-Matic Videodisc Introduction The DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is on the verge of defining history in both the computer industry and the home entertainment industry. Millions of dollars have been invested into DVD, with a lot of investors hoping it becomes the next home appliance. In order to consider where DVD will end up it will help to examine a few key questions: · What does the scene look like before DVD? · How does DVD fit into the existing scene? · How does the technology of DVD compare? · What will happen with DVD? This report tries to answer those questions, by tracing the history from the turn of 20th century to the turn of the 21st and beyond. Taking a qualitative approach to how DVD will be accepted, this report will help answer some of the questions that numbers just can’t answer. It should be noted that many of the views, dates and statistics in this report are based on very North American (or more simply, American) perspectives. This was done for several reasons, but primarily because numbers and information about American culture is commonly available. However, it should be noted that this Ameri-centric view is an outdated concept, and that the world and global economies are more important now than ever before.

  • The Acoustics and Performance of DJ Scratching. Analysis and Modelling
    The acoustics and performance of DJ scratching Analysis and modeling KJETIL FALKENBERG HANSEN Doctoral Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2010 TRITA-CSC-A 2010:01 ISSN 1653-5723 KTH School of Computer Science and Communication ISRN KTH/CSC/A–10/01-SE SE-100 44 Stockholm ISBN 978-91-7415-541-9 SWEDEN Akademisk avhandling som med tillst˚andav Kungl Tekniska h¨ogskolan framl¨agges till offentlig granskning f¨or avl¨aggande av teknologie doktorsexamen i datalogi Fredagen den 12 februari 2010 klockan 10:00 i F2, Kungl Tekniska H¨ogskolan, Lindstedtsv¨agen 26, Stockholm. © Kjetil Falkenberg Hansen, February 2010 Tryck: Universitetsservice US AB iii Abstract This thesis focuses on the analysis and modeling of scratching, in other words, the DJ (disk jockey) practice of using the turntable as a musical instru- ment. There has been experimental use of turntables as musical instruments since their invention, but the use is now mainly ascribed to the musical genre hip-hop and the playing style known as scratching. Scratching has developed to become a skillful instrument-playing practice with complex musical output performed by DJs. The impact on popular music culture has been significant, and for many, the DJ set-up of turntables and a mixer is now a natural instru- ment choice for undertaking a creative music activity. Six papers are included in this thesis, where the first three approach the acoustics and performance of scratching, and the second three approach scratch modeling and the DJ interface. Additional studies included here expand on the scope of the papers. For the acoustics and performance studies, DJs were recorded playing both demonstrations of standard performance techniques, and expressive perfor- mances on sensor-equipped instruments.

  • Welcome to the World of Media Preservation!
    Welcome to the World of Media Preservation! Joshua Harris Media Preservation Coordinator UIUC Libraries “Some believe that the challenge of preserving sound recording collections is narrow and easily framed— simply a matter of copying old recordings to a new medium. The preservation process, however, entails much more than transferring a recording and saving it as a digital file; indeed, these two steps fall somewhere in the middle of a lengthy chain of events.” The preservation of recorded sound collections entails a set of processes requiring careful planning and a sophisticated technical infrastructure. It comprises several steps and requires important decisions that will affect what recordings are saved and what compromises may have to be made to ensure that the greatest number of recordings will be saved.” -The State of Recorded Sound Preservation in the United States. Council on Library and Information Resources and The Library of Congress. August 2010. So what really is “A/V (Media) Preservation???” • Conservation: Safeguarding and protection of original materials from damage. Involves hands-on intervention and repair of physical materials. • Preservation: All actions taken to maintain an object in its existing condition, minimize the rate of change, and slow down further deterioration. Includes duplication, copying, or migration of objects with limited life expectancy • Restoration: Actions taken to modify the existing material and structure of an object in order to return it to a known earlier condition, e.g. as new, or original. So what really is “A/V (Media) Preservation???” • "Preservation is the totality of the steps necessary to ensure the permanent accessibility – forever - of an audiovisual document with the maximum integrity“ -CCAAA • In reality, A/V Preservation includes preservation, conservation and restoration.
