Florian Heesch Voicing the Technological Body Some Musicological Reflections on Combinations of Voice and Technology in Popular Music ABSTRACT The article deals with interrelations of voice, body and technology in popular music from a musicological perspective. It is an attempt to outline a systematic approach to the history of music technology with regard to aesthetic aspects, taking the iden- tity of the singing subject as a main point of departure for a hermeneutic reading of popular song. Although the argumentation is based largely on musicological research, it is also inspired by the notion of presentness as developed by theologian and media scholar Walter Ong. The variety of the relationships between voice, body, and technology with regard to musical representations of identity, in particular gender and race, is systematized alongside the following cagories: (1) the “absence of the body,” that starts with the establishment of phonography; (2) “amplified presence,” as a signifier for uses of the microphone to enhance low sounds in certain manners; and (3) “hybridity,” including vocal identities that blend human body sounds and technological processing, where- by special focus is laid on uses of the vocoder and similar technologies. KEYWORDS recorded popular song, gender in music, hybrid identities, race in music, presence/ absence, disembodied voices BIOGRAPHY Dr. Florian Heesch is professor of popular music and gender studies at the University of Siegen, Germany. He holds a PhD in musicology from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He published several books and articles on music and Norse mythology, mu- sic and gender and on diverse aspects of heavy metal studies. -

Among the Not So Great / First Edition.– Pondicherry
AMONG THE NOT SO GREAT Among the Not So Great PRABHAKAR (Batti) NEW HOUSE KOLKATA First edition Sri Mira Trust 2003 Second enlarged edition New House 2018 Rs 270.00 © Sri Mira Trust 2003 Published by New House, Kolkata - 700 025 Printed at Sri Aurobindo Ashram Press, Pondicherry Printed in India INTRODUCTION I write this about some old Ashramites — interesting people, who I feel should not be lost, buried in the past. I write of them for they are, or were, so garbed in their ordinariness that their coming, going and even their short sojourn here went unheralded, unnoticed and unsung. Maybe I use words too high-sounding, but I would that you let that pass. They did not achieve anything great (in the usual sense of the word) — for no poetry, prose or philosophy spewed forth from their innards. They created no piece of art nor did they even put up a block of masonry. But they achieved this — when you by chance thought of them a bubble of joy rose from your stomach, tingled its way up like a soda-induced burp. What more can one ask of another but this moment of joy? This is reason enough for me to bring them back from the past. These that I mention here were quite closely associated with me, and I think it would interest many who have not had the good chance to rub shoulders with them, nor even see them, probably. This is a homely “Who-is-who”. I first started writing this series with no idea whatsoever as to what I was going to do, once I had written. -
The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 122–135 Research Article Adam de Paor-Evans* The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0012 Received January 27, 2018; accepted June 2, 2018 Abstract: In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and socio- political presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society. Keywords: dromosphere, dromology, Afrofuturism, electro-rap, thirdspace, fantasy, Newcleus, Strange U Introduction During the mid-1970s, the language of New York City’s pioneering hip hop practitioners brought them fame amongst their peers, yet the methods of its musical production brought heavy criticism from established musicians. -

ARTIFICIAL REVERBERATION Ainnol
ARTIFICIAL REVERBERATION Ainnol Lilisuliani Ahmad Rasidi (SID : 430566949) Digital Audio Systems, DESC9115, Semester 1 2014 Graduate Program in Audio and Acoustics Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning, The University of Sydney -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0 Abstract Digital reverberation is an audio effect that is very common in musical production. It can be used to enhance recorded sounds that often sounds “dry” and “flat”. The principal idea of artificial reverberation was initiated by Manfred Schroeder in the 1960’s. Since then, many artificial reverb algorithms have been created. This review will look into two types of reverberation, convolution and algorithm based reverberation, focusing on Schroeder’s delay network algorithm and the applications of artificial reverberation in many areas. 2.0 Introduction Sound is a mechanical energy that travels through air at the speed of about 344 m/s. The speed varies upon the properties of air it travels, mostly due to the change of temperature and sometimes due to the humidity. In an enclosed space, this longitudinal waves of sound would reduce its amplitude the further it travels from the source until it reaches a surface. Depending upon the characteristic of the surface, some of the energy of the sound will be absorbed while some shall be reflected back into space. The reflected sound will bounce again as it meets other surface or obstacles, hence creating a complex pattern of reflection. Reverberation is the term we use for the collection of reflected sounds from the surfaces in an enclosed space. It is measured by reverberation time, which is perceived as the time for the sound to die away 60 decibels after the sound sources ceases (Sabine, 1972) . -
