  • AN ANALYSIS of the MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS of NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 a THESIS S
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dale Ganz Copyright JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH 2010 Abstract Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s.

  • Emily O'grady Thesis
    Subverting the Serial Gaze: Interrogating the Legacies of Intergenerational Violence in Serial Killer Narratives Emily O’Grady Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) Creative Industries: Creative Writing and Literary Studies Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 1 Abstract This thesis subverts, disrupts and reimagines dominant narratives of fictional serial crime through a hybrid research paradigm of creative practice and critical analysis. The creative output of this thesis is an 80,000 word literary novel titled The Yellow House, accompanied by a 20,000 word critical exegesis. In the following, I argue that current fictional iterations of the serial killer literary genre are rigidly conservative, and remain fixed within the safe confines of genre conventions wherein the narrative bears little resemblance to how abject violence and the aftermath of serial crime plays out in real life. The broad framework of genre theory, accompanied by trauma theory, allows for an examination of the serial killer genre to identify the space in which my creative practice—an Australian, literary rendering of serial crime—fits as an extension and subversion of the genre. By reimagining the Australian serial killer narrative, I seek to challenge the reductive serial killer genre, and come to a potential offering of serial homicide that interrogates how the legacies of abject violence can be transmitted across generations. I do this by shifting the focus onto the aftermath of the crime and its numerous victims—in particular, the descendants of serial killers. The Yellow House presents a destabilising fictionalisation of serial crime that disrupts the conventions of the genre in order to contend with the complexity and instability of serial homicide.

  • I'm Gonna Swing
    ACCESS ALL AREAS... CHANDELIER APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 2014 Album: 1000 Forms of Fear Label: Inertia, Monkey Puzzle, RCA Records ABOUT THE SONG ‘Chandelier’ was released in March 2014 as the lead single from Sia’s sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear. It was a top-10 hit in over 25 countries and I’M GONNA FLY LIKE A BIRD sold more than three million copies in the US alone. Billboard listed ‘Chandelier’ as the best song of 2014 THROUGH THE NIGHT, and it received several nominations at the 57th Grammy Awards. FEEL MY TEARS AS THEY DRY ‘Chandelier’ catapulted Sia to international fame, but “ she was a reluctant superstar. Having decided not to I’M GONNA SWING show her face in videos and promotional materials, the publicity-shy Sia often performed ‘Chandelier’ with her face concealed or her back to the camera. FROM THE CHANDELIER RECORDING AND PRODUCTION Sia was in semi-retirement in the early 2010s, co-writing songs with artists such as David Guetta and Rihanna. An impromptu jam session with producer Jesse Shatkin on marimba and Sia on piano led to the chords, melody and lyrics of ‘Chandelier’ in less than 20 minutes. Originally written as a potential hit for Rihanna or Beyoncé, Sia eventually released the song herself. It was produced by Shatkin and Greg Kurstin, with the pair playing all instruments. Sia’s vocal was recorded at Hot Closet Studios in California in less than 15 minutes. ” COMPOSITION ‘Chandelier’ is an electropop ballad with a melancholy tone; the lyrics are about the disillusionment of relentless partying.

  • Western Electric: a Survey of Recent Western Australian Electronic Music
    Edith Cowan University Research Online Sound Scripts 2005 Western Electric: A survey of recent Western Australian electronic music Lindsay Vickery Follow this and additional works at: https://ro.ecu.edu.au/csound Part of the Interdisciplinary Arts and Media Commons, and the Music Commons Refereed papers from the Inaugural Totally Huge New Music Festival Conference, This Conference Proceeding is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/csound/5 Western Electric: A survey of recent Western Australian electronic music Lindsay Vickery La Salle-SIA College of the Arts, Singapore Abstract This paper surveys developments in recent Western Australian electronic music through the work of a number of representative artists in a range of internationally recognised genres. The article follows specific cases of practitioners in the fields of Sound Art (Alan Lamb and Hannah Clemen), live and interactive electronics (Jonathan Mustard and Lindsay Vickery) and noise/lo-fi electronics (Cat Hope and Petro Vouris) and glitch/electronica (Dave Miller and Matt Rösner). Like all Australian states Western Australia has a comparatively large land mass which has developed a highly centralized population (over 75% of inhabitants) in its capital city Perth. As a result this paper is principally a survey of recent activity in Perth, rather than the whole state. Perth is also rather peculiar, being a medium-sized city (roughly 1.5 million) that is separated from other similarly sized centres by four to five hours by air. This paper will consider some of the possible effects of this isolation in the context of the development of a range of practices and methods in electronic music that reflect similar directions elsewhere in the world.
