  • Examensuppsats På Kandidatnivå Nedskalad Truminspelning Med Ett Stort Sound
    ! Examensuppsats på kandidatnivå Nedskalad truminspelning med ett stort sound Om Kevin Parker och hans sätt att producera trummor Författare: Andreas Troedsson Handledare: Berk Sirman Seminarieexaminator: Thomas Von Wachenfeldt Formell kursexaminator: Thomas Florén Ämne/huvudområde: Ljud- och musikproduktion Kurskod: LP2005 Ljudproduktion, fördjupningskurs Poäng: 30 hp Examinationsdatum: 2017-01-13 Jag/vi medger publicering i fulltext (fritt tillgänglig på nätet, open access): Ja Abstract Producenten Kevin Parker har onekligen fått igenkänning för sitt trumsound. Som huvudsaklig låtskrivare och producent i rockbandet Tame Impala har han skapat sig ett ”signature sound”. Eftersom många gillar hur Parkers trummor låter har det förts långa diskussioner angående produktionsprocessen. Uppsatsen ämnade att ta reda på hur Parkers produktion sett ut och vilka ljudliga artefakter det är som utgör hans sound. Resultatet visar på en väldigt nedskalad inspelning. Ofta med ett enkelt vintage-trumkit och tre till fyra mikrofoner, dämpade skinn samt en hel del kompression och distorsion. Soundet kan beskrivas som väldigt energiskt, mycket tack vare just hård kompression och distorsion. Parkers sound känns igen även utanför Tame Impala. Trummorna upplevs i många fall som mycket mer än bara ett rytminstrument. Uppsatsen förklarar hur okonventionella produktionsprocesser kan ge upphov till originella ljudliga karaktärer, vilket i slutändan kan anses en positiv konsekvens. Keywords Kevin Parker, Tame Impala, producent, inspelning, trummor, musikanalys. Innehållsförteckning

  • Market Cost of Renewable Jet Fuel Adoption in the United States
    Market Cost of Renewable Jet Fuel Adoption in the United States Niven Winchester, Dominic McConnachie, Chrisoph Wollersheim and Ian Waitz Report No. 238 January 2013 The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is an organization for research, independent policy analysis, and public education in global environmental change. It seeks to provide leadership in understanding scientific, economic, and ecological aspects of this difficult issue, and combining them into policy assessments that serve the needs of ongoing national and international discussions. To this end, the Program brings together an interdisciplinary group from two established research centers at MIT: the Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) and the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEPR). These two centers bridge many key areas of the needed intellectual work, and additional essential areas are covered by other MIT departments, by collaboration with the Ecosystems Center of the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, and by short- and long-term visitors to the Program. The Program involves sponsorship and active participation by industry, government, and non-profit organizations. To inform processes of policy development and implementation, climate change research needs to focus on improving the prediction of those variables that are most relevant to economic, social, and environmental effects. In turn, the greenhouse gas and atmospheric aerosol assumptions underlying climate analysis need to be related to the economic, technological, and political forces that drive emissions, and to the results of international agreements and mitigation. Further, assessments of possible societal and ecosystem impacts, and analysis of mitigation strategies, need to be based on realistic evaluation of the uncertainties of climate science.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Degree of Master of Fine Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2009 Abstract Author: Dustin Clark Title: A Collection of Stories from the Ground Up Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Papatya Bucak, M.F.A. Degree: Master of Fine Arts Year: 2009 The stories proposed within this thesis examine the daily lives of working class men, women, and children and the subtle dynamics of the relationships between them. The stories engage a variety of narrative perspectives, sometimes employing serious overtones and sometimes shifting toward humor. Stylistically, the stories construct a single unified voice that sifts through common themes including alcoholism, self-pity, the loss of culture, grief, distrust, absolution, and hero worship. iii A Collection of Stories from the Ground Up The Great Regurgitator…………………………………………………………….…..…1 A Biography of Abraham Lincoln from Memory following Halloween Night 1996…...10 The Nickel…………………………………………………………………………..…...17 The Princess is in Danger…………………………………………………………..…....23 Connecting Rods…………………………………………………………………..….…30 The Junkyard……………………………………………………………………..….…..33 The Sledge……………………………………………………………………..…..…….37 Great Aunt Gertrude…………………………………………………………..……..…..39 The Oven…………………………………………………………………….………..…41 Father Ray…………………………………………………………………………...…..43 Running from the Law in

    Programm-Release III Open Air Gampel 14.-17.08.2014 «The best party of my life» Mit den bisherigen Bestätigungen hat ‚Gampel‘ mit Volbeat, Marilyn Manson, Mandio Diao und anderen bereits einige heisse Perlen angekündigt. Das mittlerweile dritte Bandpaket steht nun für das, was ‚Gampel‘ gross macht: nämlich «Ischi Party»! Und um dem gerecht zu werden, musste der ultimative Partykracher her – überraschend und exklusiv! Einfach Scooter! Scooter mit «20 years of hardcore» verkauften weltweit über 30 Millionen Tonträger und waren während über 500 Wochen in den Charts vertreten. In Kürze erscheint mit «The fifth chapter» das brandneue Album. In dieselbe Kerbe schlagen Clean Bandit. Mit ihrem Nummer-Eins-Hit «Rather be» gehören sie in den Charts, Clubs und auch auf den Bühnen zu den grossen Newcomern dieses Jahres. Auch die Band American Authors hat eine grosse Chartpräsenz. Ihr Folk-Song «Best day of my life» steht rund um den Globus praktisch überall in den Top10. In Amerika wurde der Track bereits über 1 Million mal verkauft. Auch das diesjährige DJ-Line-up ist vollgespickt mit vielen Chartstürmern; unter ihnen Faul & Wad AD, Remady & Manu L, DJ ZsuZsu und Alex Price. Ergänzt wird dieses Bandpaket mit Bear Hands, einer Indie-Rock-Band mit grosse Zukunft, den Tessinern von Sinplus, den experimentierfreudigen Yokko, den Top-5-Rappern von Lo & Leduc, dem unverwüstlichen Plüsch-Urgetier Ritschi und vor allem mit den mysteriösen Kadebostany. Es ist dies wohl eine der derzeit spannendsten Bands schweizweit mit einem riesigen internationalen Potential.
