  • Handout 2 - Sylvester Biography Sylvester Was Born September 6, 1947, in the Watts Neighbor- Hood of Los Angeles, California
    Handout 2 - Sylvester Biography Sylvester was born September 6, 1947, in the Watts neighbor- hood of Los Angeles, California. He spent most of his childhood in a church until his preteen years, when news of his sexuality spread throughout the community. Sylvester, whose childhood nickname was “Dooni,” was not completely accepted by his mother and eventually left home as a teenager, but returned home several times before leaving Watts by 1970. Sylvester found acceptance from his grandmother and as a member of the group the Disquotays, which featured black drag queens and trans women. In the late 1960s, Sylvester accompa- nied members of the Disquotays around Los Angeles. He began to dress in drag, even appearing in his graduation picture in a blue chiffon dress and beehive hairdo. His style was often described as androgynous, combining both feminine and masculine influences. After the Disquotays disbanded, Sylvester moved to San Francisco, and soon joined the drag troupe the Cockettes. After the Cockettes gained some popularity from San Francisco locals, celebrities, and publications like Rolling Stone, the show went on the road, travelling to cities with prominent drag and LGBTQ+ scenes. Sylvester’s performance during the Cockette’s shows often attracted the most attention. He claimed to have sought inspiration from black performers and singers Josephine Baker and Billie Holiday, and was offered his own recording contract after he left the Cockettes. Sylvester began recording and performing with a rock band known together as Sylvester and the Hot Band. And while they opened for famous musicians such as David Bowie, Sylvester and the Hot Band were commercially unsuccessful.

  • 2. Case Study: Anime Music Videos
    2. CASE STUDY: ANIME MUSIC VIDEOS Dana Milstein When on 1 August 1981 at 12:01 a.m. the Buggles’ ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ aired as MTV’s first music video, its lyrics parodied the very media pre- senting it: ‘We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far, . put the blame on VTR.’ Influenced by J. G. Ballard’s 1960 short story ‘The Sound Sweep’, Trevor Horn’s song voiced anxiety over the dystopian, artificial world developing as a result of modern technology. Ballard’s story described a world in which natu- rally audible sound, particularly song, is considered to be noise pollution; a sound sweep removes this acoustic noise on a daily basis while radios broad- cast a silent, rescored version of music using a richer, ultrasonic orchestra that subconsciously produces positive feelings in its listeners. Ballard was particu- larly criticising technology’s attempt to manipulate the human voice, by con- tending that the voice as a natural musical instrument can only be generated by ‘non-mechanical means which the neruophonic engineer could never hope, or bother, to duplicate’ (Ballard 2006: 150). Similarly, Horn professed anxiety over a world in which VTRs (video tape recorders) replace real-time radio music with simulacra of those performances. VTRs allowed networks to replay shows, to cater to different time zones, and to rerecord over material. Indeed, the first VTR broadcast occurred on 25 October 1956, when a recording of guest singer Dorothy Collins made the previous night was broadcast ‘live’ on the Jonathan Winters Show. The business of keeping audiences hooked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, promoted the concept of quantity over quality: yes- terday’s information was irrelevant and could be permanently erased after serving its money-making purpose.

    Not Just a Fantasy: Fantasy Studios Jul 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Barbara Schultz LEGENDARY STUDIO IS BACK FROM THE BRINK Fantasy Studios’ grand Studio A is equipped with an SSL 8056 G+ console, Pro Tools HD3 and Augspurger custom mains. Photo: Steve Maruta In the San Francisco Bay Area studio scene and beyond, Fantasy Studios (www.fantasystudios.com) and the Fantasy Records label are the stuff of legend. The facility has been situated in West Berkeley for more than three decades — part of an indie media mini-empire once owned by filmmaker Saul Zaentz. The studio most famously hosted recordings by the Fantasy label's biggest act, Creedence Clearwater Revival, as well as other national acts, including Santana and Green Day. Because the facility changed hands a couple of times in recent years, you may have heard through the grapevine that Fantasy Studios was going to close last year, or this year… There was more than a grain of truth to those rumors. The studios, label and back catalog were taken over by Concord Records a few years ago, with Concord renting space in the building Zaentz still owned, but then Zaentz sold the building itself to a real estate developer, Wareham Development. When Concord's long-term lease on the building expired at the end of 2007, the label's management decided to move the label and catalog south to Concord's Beverly Hills headquarters and dismissed all of the Fantasy Studios staff. Longtime studio manager Nina Bombardier began making plans for a new life outside the music business, and all of her employees assumed the studios would close.

The bass line was looped so overdubbed synthesizer effects could be added.

    LISTENING BACKWARD LISTENING BACKWARD: QUEER TIME AND RHYTHM IN POPULAR MUSIC PERFORMANCE By CRAIG JENNEX, BA (Hons.), MA A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Craig Jennex, May 2017 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2017) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Listening Backward: Queer Time and Rhythm in Popular Music Performance AUTHOR: Craig Jennex, BA (Dalhousie University), MA (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Susan Fast NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 314 !ii ABSTRACT Listening to music has the capacity to connect us with others. In a society structured by the stultifying logic of heteronormativity, patriarchy, white supremacy, and neoliberalism —ideals that usher all of us into normative and limiting modes of relations—musical listening serves as a bastion of collective queer potential. Music can enhance queer collectivity particularly when it offers us experiences of non-normative temporality. In this dissertation, I argue for a form of music participation that I call listening backward: the act of listening closely and collectively to past musical moments in which alternative worlds were once possible. This form of listening, I argue, encourages resistance to normative signifiers of progressive linear temporality and interrogates notions of progress in both musical sound and society more broadly. Listening backward is important for building queer collectives—in the present and for the future—that can develop and sustain coalitions and resist homonormative impulses and neoliberal claims of individuality and competition. In this dissertation I analyze a variety of music performances that vary in their genre markers, the historical moments from which they come, and the forms of participation they encourage.
