Unfamiliar Sounds in Familiar Settings Hartley V1.0 © 2017 Paul Hartley UNFAMILIAR SOUNDS IN FAMILIAR SETTINGS: ON THE COSMOPOLITAN LABOUR OF FILM COMPOSERS IN ISTANBUL BY PAUL DERRICK GEORGE HARTLEY DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Bruno Nettl Assistant Professor Michael Silvers Assistant Professor John P. Meyers Dr. Ulrike Präger ABSTRACT Filmmaking in Turkey has long, convoluted history. The Turkish film industry developed, flowered, and declined before being nearly obliterated altogether by a military coup in 1980. Following the nearly total disappearance of a coherent studio system, a new approach to filmmaking, the New Turkish Cinema, developed during a time of economic and cultural resurgence. Now in a mature phase, Turkish films and television programs are rapidly becoming a focus of local and global interest, as Turkey grows as a consumer marketplace and as a player in global affairs. Films and television programs have become key players in Turkey’s economic, cultural, and diplomatic resurgence. Despite film’s reemergence, film music has not been a focus of scholarly inquiry until recently because critics and scholars have not seen it as a contributing factor to the development of the new Turkish cinema. This dissertation examines the creative labor of film composers working in the Turkish film industry from 2010-2016. It focuses on the socio-cultural contexts that facilitate the work of filmmakers as they create films suitable for the Turkish market while working from within a much more globalized, cosmopolitan framework. Through a detailed assessment of film composers’ creative processes, it demonstrates that their work is that of a “first interpreter,” a role that makes them the conduit between the filmmaking team and the audiences. The initial chapters develop a technological and social history of Turkish filmmaking. They identify the conditions under which diasporic Turks have come to dominate the role of film composer. These individuals brought new technologies and practices in the form of digital music composition and the use of DAWs (digital audio workstations) to create almost exclusively synthesized film scores. Their working methods are connected to a larger filmmaking context because of the unifying presence of these new tools. Consequently, they have brought new ii practices and methods by participating globalized filmmaking praxisscape enabled by computerized technologies and fundamentally changed the way Turkish films are made. Later chapters investigate the details of Turkish filmmakers’ work and demonstrate how their disinterest in identity politics has made them excellent conduits for importation and experimentation of outside influences. Their role as first interpreter grounds their work as they experiment with a combination of Turkish topics, global topics, and many different genres of music. Following a close analysis of how new technologies have influenced the practicalities of film music composition and cinematic interpretation, the final chapter closes with a description of the “return to home” trope. This cine-musical construction is found in a number of films of the New Turkish Cinema. Its construction and use is a significant manifestation of contemporary debates trying to locate Turkish social and cultural identity between old/new, eastern/western, rural/urban, and traditional/modern dyads. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation has taken a long time to develop and finish. I began writing several passages in the last weeks of my fieldwork in Turkey in late 2011. It took me nearly six years to complete. This is largely because I have been a practicing applied anthropologist since 2011. Writing a dissertation while also writing papers, books, and detailed reports for private and public clients required more energy that I usually had available. As a result, I owe its completion to several people. First of all, I want to thank Dr. Donna Buchanan. Without her patience, perseverance, and help, I would not have managed to complete it at all. I have always appreciated her counsel and I feel very lucky to have had her as an advisor. I want to thank my parents for also having patience with me and for helping me to stay focused on what really matters. Additionally, I owe special thanks to Dr. Morgan Gerard and Idris Mootee. Morgan gave me my break as an applied anthropologist. Without his belief that “ethnomusicologists are the best anthropologists” I would not have the life I have now. Idris has provided me the space and the time to grow into a researcher that can span the gulf between academia and applied work, and I am grateful for the generosity he has shown me in supporting me as I finish my dissertation. I, of course, owe a huge debt of gratitude to Yildiray Gürgen, Mustafa Yazıcıoğlu, Tamer Çiray, and Faruk Çeviz. It is your work that I am discussing here and without your friendship, patience, and candor, I would have nothing to talk about. Also, without the assistance of the Turkish Fulbright Commission, Seçil Hanım, Surreya Bey, Mev, and Ülkü, I would not have been able to do the work I was able to do. Finally, my biggest thanks go to my wife Dr. Hannah Chan-Hartley. We met at the beginning of this degree, and I am so glad to be able to share the end of it. Words cannot convey exactly how much you have helped me. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION: SCORING REAL, IMAGINARY, AND CINEMATIC TURKEYS…………………………………………………………………………………..……………..1 CHAPTER 2: THE COSMOPOLITAN AND THE COMPOSER IN ISTANBUL………...………...35 CHAPTER 3: ADAPTATION: A HISTORY OF FILMMAKING IN TURKEY….............................90 CHAPTER 4: A VIEW OF FILM COMPOSERS IN TURKEY……………………...………...…...149 CHAPTER 5: SCENES OF COMPOSING…………………...………………………………….….184 CHAPTER 6: THE COMPUTERIZED MUSICIAN AS FIRST INTERPRETER…….………...…250 CHAPTER 7: THE INTERPRETIVE LABOR THAT CREATES A CINEMATIC TURKEY: OR, SCORING THE “RETURN TO HOME”……………………………………………………………...281 CHAPTER 8: EPILOGUE……………………………………………………………………………. 322 REFERENCES…………………………………………………………………………………………334 v Chapter 1 Introduction: Scoring Real, Imaginary, and Cinematic Turkeys One interesting aspect of new Turkish cinema is Istanbul’s fading out of the screen. New wave Turkish films concentrate not so much on Istanbul, but on provincial towns. In those instances when the story is set in Istanbul, the geographical, historical, and cultural characteristics of the city are often erased so that Istanbul turns into an oversized provincial town. In contrast to the privileged position of Istanbul in Turkish film history, the majority of the new wave films seem to have lost interest in the city. However, this does not mean that Istanbul has disappeared from contemporary films altogether. Instead, we can talk about a new transnational genre of ‘Istanbul films’ that offer alternative ways of seeing the city (Suner 20, 2008). There are many Turkeys in Istanbul. Some are worldly, some aren’t real. – Yildiray Gürgen Asuman Suner’s statement identifies a shift in contemporary filmmaking. Current Turkish films differ strikingly from the work of previous filmmakers. The films produced since the 1990s look from the city out into the Anatolian countryside while tackling the influx of influences from outside Turkey. They are now simultaneously global and local, urban and rural, Anatolian, foreign, and Istanbul’lu (of Istanbul). Suner’s observation is important because it captures perhaps the most important feature of the New Turkish Cinema, a loose body of films created by filmmakers working in Turkey during the past 30 years. She has exposed the fact that these films are constantly under a creative tension, and that filmmakers are exploring what it means to exist on the boundaries of several binaries as well as what it means to be Turkish. Istanbul’s relationship with the Anatolian interior is a core feature of the nature of Turkishness. It is the lynchpin in a cluster of dyads (East/West, Ottoman/Turkish, secular/Muslim, modern/backward) that Turks use to define themselves in the contemporary world. In recent years, filmmakers have investigated the meaning of Turkishness by looking for its origin—following the post-Ottoman reconstructions of the concept in the early part of the twentieth century. They have created a cinematic and musical body of work that is looking for Turks’ true home, or at least to offer a perspective on where that home may be. But far from creating a copy of the real world, or a Turkey that is entirely fictional, filmmakers have 1 created a cinematic Turkey that interpenetrates the lived experiences of their audiences, initiating a soft statement of what Turkey is and how difficult topics can be broached and interpreted. Yavuz Turgul’s film Gonül Yarası (2005) exemplifies this well. Gonül Yarası is a tragic story that confronts numerous issues that both define and plague contemporary Turkey. It begins by showing a committed republican believer, Nazim, packing up his life as a teacher in the dusty, sun-drenched Kurdish regions in eastern Anatolia and returning to his first home in Istanbul. He has spent his life educating underprivileged and marginalized people in the east and is leaving after having retired as the village’s schoolmaster. As the opening credits roll we see Nazim say good-bye to the villagers and the children he has taught over the years. He bids them all farewell, shaking their hands and saying something personally significant to each of them in well-groomed Kurdish. We also see him collecting his belongings in preparation for the trip back to Istanbul. As he is packing the camera lingers over old, worn photos of children that indicate he gave up a happy family to follow his political and social convictions to bring education and a sense of Turkish belonging to the wilder and more untamed regions of the country. After the opening titles stop rolling, we see Nazim finally settle into his new apartment in the city.

  • Terminology of Art Music in Ottoman Turkish and Modern Turkish Lexicography (19Th-21St Century)
    TERMINOLOGY OF ART MUSIC IN OTTOMAN TURKISH AND MODERN TURKISH LEXICOGRAPHY (19TH-21ST CENTURY). Agata Pawlina Jagiellonian University Abstract In this paper the author presents preliminary conclusions concerning changes in forms (in respect of orthography and morphology) and semantics of musical terms in Ottoman Turkish and modern Turkish lexicography. Selected dictionaries (including mono- and bilingual, general and specialized ones) from the period between the 19th and 21st century had been analyzed. This period of time is particularly interesting for establishing how a) Turkish lexicographic works reflect the Westernization of high- culture music of the late Ottoman Empire and the young Republic of Turkey and b) differences between art music of the Ottoman and European traditions are perceived nowadays. By presenting a terminological analysis of words considered to be not only basic musicological terms but also a part of natural language (‘singer’, ‘piano’, ‘kanun’) the author unveils some of the issues associated with the translation of Turkish musical terms into European languages and vice-versa. Those problems arise from the duality and hybridity which exist in contemporary Turkish musical culture. Its older part, the so-called classical/traditional art music (tur. Türk sanat müziği or Osmanlı/Türk klasik müziği) emerged at the turn of the 17th century, as a part of a Middle Eastern art musical tradition. Later on, during modernizing efforts conducted in the declining Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, European art music had been incorporated along with its international, translingual terminology. As a result of such duality, interesting phenomena are being observed in modern Turkish vocabulary concerning art music.

  • Public and Private Broadcast Media in Turkey: Developments and Controversies
    Public and Private Broadcast Media in Turkey: Developments and Controversies Radio and television in Turkey constitute the focal point of technologic, legal, cultural, economic and political discussion. They are also considered as a power and supervision tool by those ones in the country who manage societies, political and commercial power groups and media researchers.1 Especially, TV has been viewed as the most effective tool of media in the Turkish land2. Such functions of broadcast media can serve as a channel for projecting the political views of the public.3 Over the past few years, the Turkish broadcast media has been at an extremely important position with respect to its influence on the society. Recently, an important increase is in question in the number of private radio and television organizations, where public broadcast has a long history in the nation. The swift increase in private radio-television organizations, live nested with political aims and economical purposes. Particularly, when effect of economic liberalization and globalization were experienced, the overt and covert influence of private radio-television broadcasting over democratization has been questioned by the whole society. It is simply because the present structures and objectives of private radio-television organizations are based on facilitating the works of media owners and use of their power over society. History of Turkish Broadcast Media The effect of broadcast media on the public intensifies as a result of developments in communication media and technologies, and whether these developments support democratic practices, whether the government puts pressure on broadcast media and whether broadcast media is a force for the good of the public are subjects wildly debated in Turkey.

  • Music: the Case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY
    from Popular Music 1, CambridgeUniversity Press 1981 Cross -cultural perspectives in popular music: the case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY The problem of definition It is inevitable that the first issue of this yearbook will raise questions about the use of the term 'popular music'. I do not believe that this question is going to be easy to answer and, as a precaution, I think we should regard quick and seemingly clearcut solutions with suspicion. In fact, we may eventually have to operate with intuitive, poorly defined and rather elastic definitions of popular music. Before we resort to that expedient, however, the problem of definition must be considered and discussed from various points of view. The editors have offered the following two definitions (the number- ing is mine): (1)From one point of view 'popular music' exists in any stratified society. It is seen as the music of the mass of the people ... as against that of an élite. (2) From another point of view there is at the very least a significant qualita- tive change, both in the meaning which is felt to attach to the term and in the processes to which the music owes its life, when a society undergoes indus- trialisation. From this point of view popular music is typical of societies with a relatively highly developed division of labour and a clear distinction between producers and consumers, in which cultural products are created largely by professionals, sold in a mass market and reproduced through mass media. (P. i above) The first of these definitions is very general, the second very specific.

  • Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

Natalia Djalilova*1 *Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, Chishinau, Republic of Moldova Summary This article analyzes the piano Trio INO-3 V. Rotaru, its significance in the author's work, the basic style, the harmonic, rhythmic and inerprtative aspects. The connection with neo-folklore direction in music and traditional genres in Moldovan folk music is revealed, the synthesis of traditional folklore with modern composition techniques. This article assumes to define first of all value of the considered Trio INO-3 in the context of all area of chamber-instrumental music of V. Rotaru, as the last composition of the composer in this genre sphere. The article also focuses on the neo-folklore features of the composer's style and their harmonious combination with the classical traditions typical of the trio of Russian and Western European composers. As for the classical traditions, the Trio is a three-part cycle with a characteristic tempo dramaturgy: I. Moderato II. Lento e molto lamento III. Allegro moderato Since this Trio is the last in the cycle and was written shortly before the composer's death, the author's appeal to the genre of mourning Saraband in the middle part is of interest. As for the neo-folk style elements, they define the whole thematic, rhythmic and Lado - harmonic material of the composition. The article focuses on the Lado - harmonic features of all parts of the Trio, which are characteristic intonation formulas of Moldovan folklore: motives with II increased and decreased levels, motives with IV increased level, VI increased level, enriched with melismatics.

Jeff Scott Opening Act Assistant Professor of Music Matthew Evan Taylor If not NOW, then WHEN! Matthew Evan Taylor Alto Improvisation 3, Contrasts Program Notes Jeff Scott Startin’ Sumthin’ Startin’ Sumthin’ is a modern take on the genre of Ragtime music. With an emphasis on ragged! The defining characteristic of Ragtime music is a specific type of syncopation in which melodic accents occur between metrical beats. This results in a melody that seems to be avoiding some metrical beats of the accompaniment by emphasizing notes that either anticipate or follow the beat. The ultimate (and intended) effect on the listener is actually to accentuate the beat, thereby inducing the listener to move to the music. Scott Joplin, the composer/pianist known as the “King of Ragtime,” called the effect “weird and intoxicating.” ―Note by Jeff Scott John Harbison Quintet for Winds John Harbison studied with Walter Piston at Harvard, with Boris Blacher in Berlin, and with Roger Sessions and Earl Kim at Princeton; in 1969 he joined the faculty at MIT.

  • Common Place: Rereading 'Nation' in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta
    Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anitta C. Santiago All rights reserved ABSTRACT Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago This dissertation examines quotation specifically, and intertextuality more generally, in the development of American/literary culture from the birth of the republic through the Civil War. This period, already known for its preoccupation with national unification and the development of a self-reliant national literature, was also a period of quotation, reprinting and copying. Within the analogy of literature and nation characterizing the rhetoric of the period, I translate the transtextual figure of quotation as a protean form that sheds a critical light on the nationalist project. This project follows both how texts move (transnational migration) and how they settle into place (national naturalization). Combining a theoretical mapping of how texts move and transform intertextually and a book historical mapping of how texts move and transform materially, I trace nineteenth century examples of the culture of quotation and how its literary mutability both disrupts and participates in the period’s national and literary movements. In the first chapter, I engage scholarship on republican print culture and on republican emulation to interrogate the literary roots of American nationalism in its transatlantic context. Looking at commonplace books, autobiographies, morality tales, and histories, I examine how quotation as a practice of memory impression functions in national re-membering.
