Det var prioritet#1 i min hjärna under lång, lång tid. Jag hade till och med satt ihop ett band, repat in hälften av låtarna och dessutom skrivit fem sidor på denna skriftliga del. Så sprack det… Anledningarna var många men det började med det faktum att boka lokal i Stockholm inte var det lättaste. Jag försökte förgäves att få tag i Conrad på mosebacke och Ulf på Fasching men inget svar från någon. Jag visste att jag inte ville ha den på skolan så hur skulle jag göra? Tiden rann iväg, de inrepade låtarna började kännas mer och mer passé. Det var liksom inte lika aktuellt och fräscht längre. Det var ett så kallat moment 22. Skulle jag repa in nya låtar som senare blev för gamla för att jag inte hade något konsertdatum eller skulle jag fixa konsertdatum först för att sedan se allt haverera när inte någon av de 17 personerna inblandade i konserten inte kunde… Jag satt fast. Då kom jag på idén med att göra en inspelning. En hyllning till de musiker och artister jag finner mest givande i dagens läge. Jag har arbetat extremt mycket hemma med min dator inför denna skiva men det känns enbart glädjande då en färdig produkt är mer relevant för min framtid än en konsert på Kungliga musikhögskolan… Sagt och gjort, saker och ting planerades.

Afro-Pessimism, Black Life, and Classical Hip Hop As Counter-Performance Kevin Eubanks
Eubanks: After Blackness, Then Blackness: Afro-Pessimism, Black Life, and JOURNAL OF HIP HOP STUDIES . After Blackness, Then Blackness: Afro-Pessimism, Black Life, and Classical Hip Hop as Counter-Performance Kevin Eubanks Just as Frank Wilderson cites the propensity of the black performance to obscure and evade black life and reality and calls for a more “direct reflection” on the “ghosts and grammar” that haunt the enactment of black subjectivity, Jared Sexton’s critique of Fred Moten’s optimism lies in the latter’s emphasis on the “fugitive ontology” of blackness, an ontology that has the black always on the run from the structures that govern a priori the anti-black world into which it would pretend to escape. Consequently, the challenge of afro-pessimism is to imagine, amidst the afro-pessimist negation, a black movement that is not or other than performative, something more than a “narrative strategy hoping to slip the noose of a life shaped by slavery,” but instead a more visceral apprehension of and engagement with the structural violence against blackness as “a grammar of emergence and being.” The question I would like to answer here is whether in Hip Hop one can discern just such a movement and apprehension. Black life is not lived in the world that the world lives in […]. That’s the whole point of the enterprise at some level. It is all about the implications of this agreed-upon point where arguments (should) begin, but they cannot (yet) proceed. — Jared Sexton, “The Social Life of Social Death” (2011) I know the price of life.

Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Tiffany Naiman 2017 © Copyright by Tiffany Naiman 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music by Tiffany Naiman Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert W. Fink, Co-Chair Professor Raymond L. Knapp, Co-Chair This dissertation investigates musical expressions of temporal alterities in works created by popular music artists, identifying their aesthetic responses as their bodies become ill, disabled, and they become more aware of mortality. I propose a critical, hermeneutic, and theoretical method drawn from Edward Said’s appropriation of Adorno’s expression “late style” that I have designated ill style, a form of creativity within a temporality of illness. Late style is discernable in works produced, paradigmatically, at the end of one’s career in “old age,” but late style may also be understood as an influence on artistic output at any stage of life if the subject is experiencing untimeliness and a disruption in access to the communal understanding of futurity and time, a possible consequence of factors other than age. I contend that late style, accelerated by illness, disrupts Western cultural attempts at ignoring precarious and finite nature of existence; the resulting expressions of lateness ask audiences to do the same. I offer a way in which to think more critically about what scholars consider late style, how it functions in popular ii music studies and society, and how it intersects with the fields of disability, gender, queer, and critical race studies, and the social sciences.

NEW RELEASE for the Week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!
NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses" (SUB POP) SP1405 CD/ LP FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses (LOSER (SUB POP) SP1405LOSER LP edition-coloured vinyl)" April 2 street date. On her second full-length record, "Head of Roses", Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) follows a winding thread of intuition into the unknown and into healing, led by gut feelings and the near-spiritual experience of visceral songwriting. The result is a combination of Wasner's ability to embrace new levels of vulnerability, honesty and openness, with the self-assuredness that comes with a decade-plus career as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and prolific collaborator. Simply put, "Head of Roses" is a record about heartbreak, but from a dualistic perspective. It's about the experience of having one's heart broken and breaking someone else's heart at the same time. But beyond that, it's about having to reconcile the experience of one's own pain with the understanding that it's impossible to go through life without being the source of great pain for someone else. Carefully curated and culled from the depths of Wasner's heartbreak and healing, it's deeply, intensely personal. KING GIZZARD & THE "Teenage Gizzard (pink (ORG MUSIC) ORGM2210 LP LIZARD WIZA splater on yellow transparent" April 2 street date. "Teenage Gizzard" is a compilation album featuring early recordings of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, recorded between 2010 and 2011 in Victoria, Australia. Org Music is participating in the band's official "bootlegger" series to release the album on vinyl.

Boom Bap Ex Machina: Hip-Hop Aesthetics and the Akai MPC
Perspectives on Music Production Producing Music Boom Bap ex Machina: Hip-Hop Aesthetics and the Akai MPC Mike Exarchos (a.k.a. Stereo Mike) | London College of Music (University of West London) Introduction Over the past three decades, the growing literature on hip-hop musicology has paid ample tribute to Akai’s range of MPCs (originally, MIDI Production Centers—currently, Music Production Controllers), acknowledging their pivotal influence on rap production practices (D’Errico 2015; George 1998; Harkins 2009, 2010; Kajikawa 2015b; Morey and McIntyre 2014; Ratcliffe 2014; Rodgers 2003; Rose 1994; Schloss 2014; Sewell 2013; Shevlock 2017; Swiboda 2014; Wang 2014; Williams 2010). The technology’s combined functionality of sampling, drum machine and MIDI sequencing features has been embraced by rap practitioners ever since the release of the standalone MPC60 in 1988. The timeline coincides with particular sonic priorities in Hip-Hop that can be grouped under the ‘Boom Bap’ aesthetic—an onomatopoeic celebration of the prominence of sampled drum sounds programmed over sparse and heavily syncopated instrumentation. But what is the association between subgenre aesthetics and MPC functionality, and what parallels can be drawn between the evolution of the technology and stylistic deviations in the genre? The chapter examines how MPC technology impacts upon the stylization of Hip- Hop as a result of unique sonic, rhythmic and interface-related characteristics, which condition sampling, programming and mixing practices, determining in turn recognizable sonic signatures. Furthermore, the boom bap sound is traced from its origins in the mid-to-late 1980s to its current use as an East Coast production reference, honoring a sample-based philosophy that is facilitated by the MPCs’ physical interface and operating script.

Christian Sound Systems in Britain: Its Origins, Functions and Theology by Carl Tracey Canterbury Christ Church University
Christian Sound Systems in Britain: Its Origins, Functions and Theology by Carl Tracey Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the degree of Masters by Research 2019 Contents Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 4 Introduction 5 Literature Review 11 Methodology 27 Chapter 1: Black Christian Music in Britain 35 Chapter 2: Sound Systems and the Christian deviation: 41 The Christian Sound System Movement Chapter 3a: Case Studies - His Majesty Sound System 46 - Shekinah Sound Ministries 48 - 3b: Data Analysis (Findings) 50 - 3c: Reflections 63 Chapter 4: A Theology of Christian Sound Systems 68 Conclusion 76 Annotated Bibliography (Theological themes) 80 Bibliography 83 2 Abstract The Christian sound system movement in Britain represents an exchange between ‘church hall’ and ‘dancehall’ which started in the late 1990s. This contentious engagement between ‘secular’ and ‘sacred’ spaces is related to the wider discipline of theology and popular culture. The aim of this study is to explore how Christians have engaged their faith within black popular culture; focussing on sound systems. Current scholarship has analysed sound systems in Britain through the lens of social theory, artistry and technology. This essay investigates the history and function of the Christian sound system movement in Britain through qualitative interviews with members of ‘Shekinah Sound Ministries’ and ‘His Majesty’s Sound System’. The controversies involved in the Christianisation of the ‘dubplate’ is discussed as well as the criticisms directed at the movement for using reggae music as a tool for evangelism in the early years. The data highlights the importance of the MC, selector and engineer as the primary practitioners involved in ‘ministering the music’ to the audience.

Behind the Beat: Technical and Practical Aspects of Instrumental Hip-Hop Composition
Behind the Beat: Technical and Practical Aspects of Instrumental Hip-Hop Composition A thesis submitted by Michael A. D’Errico In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Musicology TUFTS UNIVERSITY Graduate School of Arts & Sciences May, 2011 ADVISER: Joseph Auner ABSTRACT From DJ Premier’s beat productions in the early ’90s to Kanye West’s live performance at the 2010 Video Music Awards, the Akai MPC has long been considered standard sampling technology in any hip-hop production studio. Expanding upon the various techniques developed by pioneering hip-hop DJs—including beat-juggling, cutting, and mixing—the MPC introduced a much wider range of possibilities regarding not only the manipulation of individual samples, but their assemblage into a musical composition as well. Furthermore, the expansion of the machine has coincided with the musical development of the hip-hop tradition, as producers have responded and reacted to changing technological trends with increasingly innovative trends in performance practice. Through analyses of several tracks by DJ Shadow, Madlib, and Flying Lotus, this paper will fill a major gap in hip-hop scholarship by exploring both the technical aspects of the music’s construction as well as how these producers have responded and reacted to the changing characteristics of the MPC throughout its development. In exposing diverse technical and musical trends that have received little attention from scholars, this paper hopes to provide a missing link to the way we analyze hip-hop music and culture.
