  • Assessing the Future Ip Landscape of Music’S Cash Cow: What Happens When the Live Concert Goes Virtual
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\91-2\NYU205.txt unknown Seq: 1 11-MAY-16 12:42 ASSESSING THE FUTURE IP LANDSCAPE OF MUSIC’S CASH COW: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIVE CONCERT GOES VIRTUAL CHARLES H. LOW* If piracy has been the bane of the music industry, and live performances are a financial buoy, what happens when live performances are ported to a virtual medium that all of a sudden may be subject to piracy again? This Note examines the various intellectual property frameworks through which one can look at the protectable elements of a live show or concert and what happens to the pro- tectability of those elements once the show is ported to virtual reality. Given that technology to date has had a much larger impact on recorded music than on live performances, the introduction of virtual reality technology has serious disruptive potential. This Note argues that one can use existing intellectual property law to weave a complex web of protected elements around less traditional targets of IP like stage, set, and lighting design, background visuals, live performers, and props. This web of intellectual property protection will encourage strong contracting and yield more avenues for resisting piracy in the virtual reality world.

  • Mixing It up Bent and Twisted
    The sociality of dance events and health implications Kate Ireland A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Interdisciplinary studies in sexuality, health and culture University of New South Wales Sydney, NSW 2050, Australia August, 2002 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the sociality – shared rituals and rules - of dance events and implications for health. I consider how forms of belongings, selves and practices of music, dance and drug use are produced, regulated and understood in the space of local dance events with ‗mixed‘ crowds and the everyday lives of participants. Social networks approaches, while offering an understanding of drug use as a social practice, focus on belonging as a basis for risk-reduction, to the exclusion of the role played by pleasure in producing and maintaining belonging. Contemporary cultural studies literature features an understanding of dance through the power of the ecstatic moment to produce new forms of embodied selves and belongings, but does not offer a means to think through how dance is regulated via techniques of self-care – except in the work of Pini (1993, 1997a, b, c), where pleasure, belonging and self-care are brought together. Using Pini‘s (1993, 1997a, b, c) work as a point of departure, I provide an interdisciplinary account of local ‗mixed‘ dance events, via analysis of qualitative data from ethnographic fieldwork, review of media texts and interviews with partygoers. I situate the local spaces, everyday practices and stories of events in the context of broader social processes, through setting them in relation to Foucault‘s (1986/1990b) work on self-care as a social practice and Maffesoli‘s (1988/1996) work on collective rituals of neo-tribal sociality, in a wider context of restrictive regulation of self- formation.

  • Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture
    The Vibe of the Exiles: Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture Feature Article Graham St John Griffith University (Australia) Abstract This article offers detailed comment on thevibe of the exiles, a socio-sonic aesthetic infused with the sensibility of the exile, of compatriotism in expatriation, a characteristic of psychedelic electronica from Goatrance to psytrance and beyond (i.e. psyculture). The commentary focuses on an emancipatory artifice which sees participants in the psyculture continuum adopt the figure of the alien in transpersonal and utopian projects. Decaled with the cosmic liminality of space exploration, alien encounter and abduction repurposed from science fiction, psychedelic event-culture cultivates posthumanist pretentions resembling Afrofuturist sensibilities that are identified with, appropriated and reassembled by participants. Offering a range of examples, among them Israeli psychedelic artists bent on entering another world, the article explores the interface of psyculture and Afrofuturism. Sharing a theme central to cosmic jazz, funk, rock, dub, electro, hip-hop and techno, from the earliest productions, Israeli and otherwise, Goatrance, assumed an off-world trajectory, and a concomitant celebration of difference, a potent otherness signified by the alien encounter, where contact and abduction become driving narratives for increasingly popular social aesthetics. Exploring the different orbits from which mystics and ecstatics transmit visions of another world, the article, then, focuses on the socio- sonic aesthetics of the dance floor, that orgiastic domain in which a multitude of “freedoms” are performed, mutant utopias propagated, and alien identities danced into being. Keywords: alien-ation; psyculture; Afrofuturism; posthumanism; psytrance; exiles; aliens; vibe Graham St John is a cultural anthropologist and researcher of electronic dance music cultures and festivals.
