  • Historical Development, Sound Aesthetics and Production Techniques of Metal’S Distorted Electric Guitar
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Huddersfield Repository Historical development, sound aesthetics and production techniques of metal’s distorted electric guitar Jan-Peter Herbst Abstract The sound of the distorted electric guitar is particularly important for many metal genres. It contributes to the music’s perception of heaviness, serves as a distinguishing marker, and is crucial for the power of productions. This article aims to extend the research on the distorted metal guitar and on metal music production by combining both fields of interest. By the means of isolated guitar tracks of original metal recordings, 10 tracks in each of the last five decades served as sample for a historical analysis of metal guitar aesthetics including the aspects tuning, loudness, layering and spectral composition. Building upon this insight, an experimental analysis of 287 guitar recordings explored the effectiveness and effect of metal guitar production techniques. The article attempts to provide an empirical ground of the acous- tics of metal guitar production in order to extend the still rare practice-based research and metal-ori- ented production manuals. Keywords: guitar, distortion, heaviness, production, history, aesthetics Introduction With the exception of genres like black metal that explicitly value low-fidelity aesthetics (Ha- gen 2011; Reyes 2013), the powerful effect of many metal genres is based on a high production quality. For achieving the desired heaviness, the sound of the distorted electric guitar is partic- ularly relevant (Mynett 2013). Although the guitar’s relevance as a sonic icon and its function as a distinguishing marker of metal’s genres have not changed in metal history (Walser 1993; Weinstein 2000; Berger and Fales 2005), the specific sound aesthetics of the guitar have varied substantially.

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

  • Karamelo Santo ZMF Pressetext
    Mittwoch 10.7.2013 Zirkuszelt Karamelo Santo KARAMELO SANTO, die wohl bekannteste argentinische Formation ihres Genres, wird uns ihren Sound aus LatinSka, Reggae, Cumbia, Rock und Punk um die Ohren hauen, dass es eine wahre Freude ist. Nach dem Release ihrer Live-CD/DVD „El Baile Oficial“ , einer Zeitreise durch die fast 20-jährige Bandgeschichte, die eindrücklich dokumentiert, was für ein Feuerwerk die Jungs aus Mendoza und Buenos Aires auf der Bühne entfachen, melden sie sich 2013 mit einem neuen, selbstbetitelten Album zurück. „Perfectos Idiotas“ nannten sie sich bei Bandgründung im Jahre 1993 – da waren sie noch in Mendoza ansässig, Liebhabern überseeischen Rebensaftes als Anbaugebiet guter Tropfen bestens bekannt. 1997 beziehen sie dann Quartier in La Boca, wo sie in der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft des Boca Junior-Stadions fortan ein wuselndes Laboratorium für andere Bands betreiben und mit einem wilden panamerikanischen Worldrock-Mix auch das Konzept für ihre eigene Formation weiter entwickeln. Die verpasst sich bald süßsakrale Weihen und nennt sich KARAMELO SANTO, das “Heilige Bonbon” – eine Leckerei, die von Chile bis Mexiko viele Anhänger gewinnt. Nach zwei Alben schließlich der Quantensprung: 2000 eröffnen sie für Manu Chaos argentinische Konzerte und buchen Mr. Mestizo gleich für ihre nächste Scheibe. Der Rest ist Geschichte: Jahr für Jahr produzieren die umtriebigen Argentinier ein neues Album und widerlegen das Klischee, dass alles, was in der Kapitale nahe am Wasser baut, mit Tango getränkt sein muss. Mit ihrer Mischung aus politischen Texten, extrem tanzbarem Sound und einer so sympathischen wie mitreißenden Liveshow erobern sie sich stückchenweise auch in Europa eine treue Fangemeinde. Nach den grandiosen Festivalauftritten der letzten Jahre in ganz Europa (u.a.

  • Report on Zagreb Museums
    REPORT ZAGREB MUSEUMS SUFFER HEAVY DAMAGES IN THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE THAT HIT THE CITY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS When disasters strike, we are always reminded how emergency preparedness is a crucial procedure that every institution has to take care about. We are also reminded how vulnerable we are and how fragile our heritage is. Only a month ago the international conference on risk management held in Dubrovnik and organised by the Ministry of Culture within the Croatian EU presidency showed numerous threats, including those for museums, that have to be addressed by authorities and experts showed what should be done to reduce existing risks. However, when a real thing occurs, we can testify how poorly we are prepared. All the weaknesses became obvious and we can clearly see what the biggest challenges are and what a long-lasting neglect to invest in prevention can do. A strong 5.5 magnitude earthquake hit Zagreb at 6.24 on Sunday, March 22nd 2020. Luckily the streets of Croatia’s capital were empty and all institutions closed thus human casualties were avoided except a 15-year old girl who died from severe injuries caused by falling objects. Only a few seconds transformed the historic centre of Zagreb. Fallen facades and chimneys, damaged roofs, crashed vehicles that were parked on the streets were piling on a demolished property-lists. The town centre, which is home to many Croatian museums, was hit in the worst way. Buildings with poor construction could not resist the earthquake in spite that the magnitude was not the highest.
