  • Issue 10 Sunday 7 June 2020
    ISSUE 10 SUNDAY 7 JUNE 2020 IN THIS ISSUE • Camilla Blackett exposes the lie that is “Over There” The wonder is how everything, • The Art of Junior absolutely everything, anyone Tomlin can name that makes our so- • Lunch with Andy called civilisation unique has a Warhol scared source – a sacred purpose. • Gnostic golf epiphanies + more Peter Kingsley, Catafalque It was the week summer officially started, although it felt like it had been summer forever. And finally, in a cruel irony only nature could orchestrate, the rain came down, ‘Like the angel come down from above’, as Steve Earle sang. Collectively, looking in horror at what’s happening ‘over there’ as Camilla Blackett powerfully reminded us in these pages, so the reckoning with a failing state and a changing country that has refused to change sharpened in focus. We have reached astonishing new depths of achievement when it comes to introspection; while even still this week at The Social Gathering marks our 10th iteration as a collaborative blog. Tom Noble, our designer, marketing guru and long-suffering Leeds fan, wanted to do something big to celebrate that moment (the 10 issues, not the introspection, that is). Perhaps, although this would belie his commitment to the hopeless West Yorkshire cause, there’s something hopeful about reaching double-figures. But how do you define BIG in a world that seems to be getting smaller? Carl, who runs the bar and whose vision led us to this place, said fuck it, let’s celebrate #23. The milestone meant little to me until I started to think about it as the week unfolded with its usual manic energy; up at 5am writing, editing, reading, communicating with authors, catching up with correspondence, procrastinating, drinking tea, sorting through records, listening to reggae, eating eggs, eventually walking the dog at 7am with my 8-year-old girl whose innocence has been a balm in the darkness then eventually ‘starting’ the day.

  • Exploring the Musical Experience, Its Attachments and Its Technologies
    How Music Matters: Exploring the Musical Experience, its attachments and its technologies Víctor Miguel Ávila Torres Sociology University of York November, 2019 Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract This thesis explores how music becomes important as a social and individual practice mediated by devices in everyday life. Through the guiding concepts of Attachments and the Musical Experience, the thesis focuses on the idea of music as a practice that acquires importance beyond the economic value through everyday practice from an assemblage and materialities perspective, guided by Science and Technology Studies. The data was generated from 41 participants and the Musical Experience History Method, which includes interviews around their musical practice and their past, while listening together with them and discuss valuable objects that they have selected in advance. This thesis orders the findings by abstract moments and elements of the creation of those musical attachments. The first chapter focuses on the Dispositions and Threshold moments, which explains the initial interest in listening to music, specific genres or practices. The second chapter attends to the flexibility of those elements as new moments of listening and negotiations take place to fit new music, practices and alignment with social and intimate identities, this is analysed through the concept of Re/Tuning. At the same time, the thesis explores the process of assembling meanings around musical objects and practices through the concept of Networks of Meanings. The final chapter explores the ongoing relationship of the listener with specific music, which becomes a material object that is at risk of becoming worn out and deformed, hence that demands to be looked after and constantly refreshed.
