  • The Thai Popular Music Industry
    THE THAI POPULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY: INDUSTRIAL FORM AND MUSICAL DESIGN NALIN WUTTIPONG, BFA, M Mus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy SEPTEMBER 2011 o ABSTRACT Popular music, as it is generally defined in its commercial existence, originated in the West and has been widely discussed in Anglophone academia. One of the key means of approaching it is in terms of political economy, by viewing the culture industry essentially as a model of capitalism, with the purpose of maximizing profit [Bumett, 1996; Frith, Straw and Street, 2001]. The debates between political economists and other popular music scholars have predominantly taken as their subject Western popular music. Yet it is important to point out that whilst studies focused upon cultural industries outside of Western contexts have been few and far between, many have proved extremely fruitful and enlightening, exploring issues not considered in Western-centered accounts. This dissertation will attempt to examine and describe the causes and effects of corporate control over the major labels, which have been influential in the Thai popular music industry since 1982, when the first major label was established. Furthermore, this dissertation will argue that the popular music industry in Thailand presents something ofa variation on Adorno's theme of mass culture, replicating certain aspects of his description while also diverging in important ways. The study of the development of Thai popular music in this dissertation can be divided into five important periods: the Pre-pop Era (from the emergence of The Impossible to 1982) and the Pop Era (1982-1994), the Indie Phenomenon (1994-1997), the Major Retum (1997-2002) and the present day (2002 to today).

  • MUSIC CD in DEVELOPMENT and CONSUMER VALUE in the THAI MUSIC INDUSTRY by PHUNPITI BHOVICHITRA a Thesis Submitted for the Degree
    MUSIC CD IN DEVELOPMENT AND CONSUMER VALUE IN THE THAI MUSIC INDUSTRY BY PHUNPITI BHOVICHITRA A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to The Faculty of Management, University of Stirling, Scotland August, 2017 1 2 ABSTRACT While the digital market, especially the music streaming market, has rapidly grown in recent years, however the physical music segment still remains relevant in the Thai market. The Thai music market has inimitable characteristics within the market in terms of the physical music record offers, recorded musical works, and a growth trend in physical sales. Moreover, the behaviour in physical music consumption is opposite to that in world markets. Music consumption practices in the Thai market and why physical music, and CDs in particular, remain relevant to the Thai music industry are an enigma. The music industry itself has suggested that the physical music market needs to be revamped and its physical products redeveloped. In addition, the major record companies have also refocused into developing physical markets. However, precisely how this is to be achieved has not been specified. The twin aims of this study are to more fully comprehend Thai music consumption practices in today’s market and to examine how the concepts of product development could be effective in responding to consumer needs and desires. Consumer-led product development is the main concept of this study used to create ideas to enhance music CDs. This study combined many perspectives related to consumer-led product development and then applied them to construct the conceptual framework named “The Seminal Framework for CD Development”.

  • Rebuilding Lanna: Constructing and Consuming the Past in Urban Northern Thailand
    REBUILDING LANNA: CONSTRUCTING AND CONSUMING THE PAST IN URBAN NORTHERN THAILAND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Alan Johnson May 2010 ©2010 Andrew Alan Johnson REBUILDING LANNA: CONSTRUCTING AND CONSUMING THE PAST IN URBAN NORTHERN THAILAND Andrew Alan Johnson, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation is an ethnographic study of the perspective and treatment of the city as a space imbued with charismatic power in Northern Thailand. Reviving the city through channeling and re-imagining the perceived past prosperity of the city of Chiang Mai in the wake of the economic crash of 1997 became a matter of concern for architects, activists, city planners, and spirit mediums: each group respectively sought to control the negative effects of the economic downturn through reconstructing a latent potential within the city with explicit reference to Chiang Mai‟s “Lanna” past (approximately the 13th-19th centuries CE). The various methods ranged from the attempts to redesign public space using models of urban design adapted from the Lanna period to the efforts of spirit medium devotees, who sought to stave off misfortune through reviving the literal guardian spirits of Lanna. However, such attempts at rebuilding both the physical as well as the spiritual integrity of the city carried with them the uncanny trace of misfortune made manifest in the ruins of pre-1997 buildings. These ruins stood alongside the shells of new high- rise construction, providing an unwelcome resemblance that put a pall on the hope placed on the new buildings.
