  • Textual Spectacle: the Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto
    The Concept Album as Visual-Sonic- Textual Spectacle: The Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto Lori Burns University of Ottawa [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the elaboration of the concept album by means of multimodal promotional strategies that include the concert tour, music videos, books, as well as other digital and print materials. Adopting the perspective that the meaning of a concept album emerges in and through a potentially complex network of materials, we can receive and understand concept album storytelling to operate according to multimedial, intermedial and transmedial contexts. This study examines the transmedial storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto concept spectacle as it is developed in and through the material content of the original album, the Coldplay: Live 2012 (Coldplay 2012c) concert film, as well as the paraphonographic materials that extend Mylo Xyloto into a variety of media. KEYWORDS: Concept album, spectacle, multimodality, intermediality, transmediality Introduction In the context of the new millennial industry of popular music, artists from a variety of genres rely heavily upon current technologies and social media platforms to develop elaborate promotional strategies, thus expanding the idea of the concept album to the concert tour, music videos, books, and a range of supplementary materials. With such an approach, the concept album can be seen to extend across multiple media formats in supplementary materials and live IASPM@Journal vol.6 no.2 (2016) Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music ISSN 2079-3871 | DOI 10.5429/2079-3871(2016)v6i2.6en | www.iaspmjournal.net 92 Lori Burns performances.

  • Narrativa Transmedia Como Estrategia De Comunicación En El Sector De La Música

Caso específico: Coldplay.] [Mario Daniel Hilario Barinas] Murcia, [Julio] de 2015 FACULTAD DE COMUNCIACIÓN Y DOCUMENTACIÓN MÁSTER INTERUNIVERSITARIO EN COMUNCIACIÓN MÓVIL Y CONTENIDO DIGITAL CURSO 2014-2015 TÍTULO: NARRATIVA TRANSMEDIA COMO ESTRATEGIA DE COMUNICACIÓN EN EL SECTOR DE LA MÚSICA. CASO ESPECÍFICO: COLDPLAY. AUTOR: MARIO DANIEL HILARIO BARINAS TUTOR ACADÉMICO: VERÓNICA PERALES BLANCO Resumen (10 líneas) La narrativa transmedia se ha convertido en una de las principales estrategias de comunicación utilizadas por parte de las empresas para lograr una mayor relación con sus clientes. Este entorno se caracteriza por el uso de diversas plataformas para comunicar lo deseado y por el hecho de que el consumidor, pasa a ser partícipe activo y a convertirse en “prosumidor”. Estas dos singularidades de la narrativa transmedia son analizadas en el ámbito de la música, mostrando el gran potencial que tiene la misma y cómo puede ser aprovechado en las producciones musicales para generar un mayor engagement y ampliar la participación de la audiencia, especialmente de los fans. Para mostrar un ejemplo de narrativa transmedia y de contenidos generados por el usuario se analizará un caso concreto del ámbito musical, el de la banda de música Coldplay que a lo largo de su carrera ha utilizado este tipo de estrategias como parte de su táctica comunicacional. Palabras Claves (Keywords) Narrativa Transmedia, Música, Contenido Generado por Usuario, Prosumidor, Coldplay.

  • CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This Chapter
    CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter presents the research methodology in the present study. It covers research questions, research design, data collection, and data analysis. 3.1 Research Questions The present study was conducted to answer the following research questions: 1. What conceptual metaphors are used in Mylo Xyloto song lyrics? 2. What types of conceptual metaphors are used in Mylo Xyloto song lyrics? 3. What possible reasons can be generated from the use of those conceptual metaphors and types of metaphors? 3.2 Research Design This study primarily uses a qualitative method to achieve the aims of the study. It is because this study identifies, analyzes, and interprets data by describing and understanding the categorization of the data found in the analysis. Williams Selvia Neilil Kamaliah, 2013 Conceptual Metaphors in Mylo Xyloto Album By Coldplay Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu (2007: 67) asserts that “qualitative research builds its premises on inductive, rather than deductive reasoning.” In this case, the present study looks for the types of each conceptual metaphor. It is then concluded inductively the tendency or the dominant types of metaphors. From the tendency, the study interprets the possible reasons of the use of those conceptual metaphors in the Coldplay‟s lyrics. Since this study is situated within qualitative research, the study employs a case study as its design. The case study is considered suitable since it focuses on single person or entity (Gillham, 2000; Yin, 2003), investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real life context (Yin, 1981, 2003; Duff, 2008) and analyzes the phenomenon in-depth (Cresswell, 1998; Duff, 2008).
