It identifies and interrogates the anti- nuclear elements of anarcho-punk, looking at its leading band, Crass. At the center is an exploration of the sounds of Crass’ music and singing voices – termed Crassonics – in the context of anti-nuclearism: if the bomb changed music and art, what did the new music sound like? Who can say how much [the Bomb] changed all of us .

  • Seth's Music Packet-Tossups Answer
    Seth's Music Packet-Tossups 1. The critic Eduard Hanslick compared listening to a two-piano arrangement of this piece to "getting a beating from two incredibly intelligent people." Schoenberg admired the economy of the E minor first movement, pointing out that the first theme is constructed almost entirely from descending thirds. The second movement begins in the Phrygian mode, while the adagio final movement is a passacaglia with 30 variations that takes its bass line from the finale of a cantata of J.S. Bach. For 10 points, name this last symphony of Johannes Brahms. Answer: Brahms's Fourth Symphony in E minor ("fourth symphony" acceptable after Brahms is mentioned) 2. Although a popular interpretation holds that this song is a commentary on nuclear proliferation, guitarist Stefan Doroschuk explains that it is actually about "non-conforming." The singer spells the name of the song before the first verse, and later expresses the desire to "surprise 'em with a victory cry" and "act like an imbecile." In the chorus, he sings "everything is out of control" before the command, "everybody look at your hands." For 10 points, name this synth-pop classic by Men without Hats. Answer: ''The Safety Dance" 3. The 1960 album by this name was a single piece split between sides one and two, and it featured a double quartet that included the musicians Charlie Haden, Eric Dolphy, and Don Cherry. The style by this name had already been explored in the previous album Tomorrow is the Question, as well as in the work of pianist Cecil Taylor.

Punk meant rebellion, and this research looks at how the rebellion of the American punk movement during the eighties [1978 to 1992], was aimed at the president Ronald Reagan. Their dissent, however, was not only directed towards Reagan, but the culture that he encompassed.

  • Approaching Sound: a Sonicological Examination of the Producer's Role
    Approaching Sound: A Sonicological Examination of the Producer’s Role in Popular Music. Peter O’Hare Master of Philosophy (Research) University of Glasgow Faculty of Education June 2008 © Peter O’Hare June 2008 Contents Introduction 3 Chapter One History of Production Technology and Practice 7 Chapter Two Sonicology 13 Chapter Three The Role Of The Producer 23 Chapter Four Controlling The Sound 35 Chapter Five Case Study 1: Phil Spector 47 Chapter Six Case Study 2: Mike Stock 63 Chapter Seven Case Study 3: Steve Albini 75 Conclusion 87 Notes 90 Appendix 93 Bibliography 96 Discography 102 Glossary of technical terms 103 2 Introduction The recorded song has been the dominant carrier of popular music for the last 50 years, with recordings being relayed to the public through a variety of mediums (Radio, Television, and Internet) and numerous formats (vinyl, cassette tape, minidisk, MP3). As Frith points out “Twentieth-century popular music means the twentieth-century popular record” (1992: 50). The final recorded song is the end product of a recording process, a process that includes technical and creative input from a variety of personnel. These can include the artist, recording engineers, sound mixers and the record producer, what Hennion refers to as the “creative collective” (1990: 186). Additionally, Theberge notes that within this recording practice “The process of multitrack recording has become the primary mode of production in popular music” (2001: 11). Given this acknowledgement and the importance placed on the recording process it is surprising that there is still relatively little detailed academic research regarding the recording process, or those involved in it.

  • Sounding Anti-Nuclearism in the Anarcho-Punk Movement in Britain, 1978-84
    “They’ve got a bomb”: sounding anti-nuclearism in the anarcho-punk movement in Britain, 1978-84 George McKay University of East Anglia, UK Who can say how much [the Bomb] changed all of us,… our music,… our art…? Crass (“Nagasaki nightmare” sleeve notes) This article explores the energetic links, contradictions and tensions in Britain between a musical subculture at its height of innovation and creative energy— anarcho-punk from around 1978 to 1984—and the anti-nuclear movement, including the social movement organization the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), during these same years when CND was at the second peak of its national and international prominence (its first having been in the late 1950s and early 1960s). It identifies and interrogates the anti-nuclear elements of the musical package of anarcho-punk, looking at its leading band, Crass. Anarcho-punk was notable by its insistent political focus on war and the threat of nuclear destruction, and it presented a relentless cultural critique that drew on apocalyptic realities and drew post-apocalyptic imaginaries. The article offers a critical discussion of the often rich lyrical, visual, and performative texts Crass made, and explores key ways in which anarcho-punk also interrogated links between the nuclear and music industries. At the article’s centre is an exploration of the neglected question of the sounds of Crass’s music and singing voice—my term is Crassonics—in the very specific context of anti-nuclearism: if the bomb changed music and art, what did the new music (of

  • The Turntablist Texts of DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist
    The Aesthetics of Consumption in the Age of Electrical Reproduction: The Turntablist Texts of DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist Michael Phillips Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in English Department of English Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Michael Phillips, Ottawa, Canada, 2012. ii ABSTRACT With new technology come new possibilities for the creation of artistic works. The invention of sound recording towards the end of the nineteenth century enabled musical performances to be “written” in the same manner as traditional, printed literature. The status of records as a form of writing and, moreover, as the material for further writing is demonstrated in the work of two hip hop artists, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, who assemble new, heteroglossic texts out of a wide array of sampled records. Two concerts by these artists, Product Placement (2004) and The Hard Sell (2008) – both of which have been memorialized on DVD – serve as fruitful examples of the potential for artistic production enabled by technology. Indeed, the genre of turntablism, which involves the live manipulation of vinyl records, requires the usage of technology in ways not intended by its original developers – a recurrent theme throughout the history of sound recording. By transforming the turntable from a passive playback device into an active compositional tool, turntablism, as exemplified by these performances, collapses the distance between consumption and production and so turns the listener into a performer. Furthermore, the exclusive usage of 45 rpm records as the source texts for the two sets dramatizes theories of intertextuality while simultaneously tracing the constraints placed on such artistic piracy by the copyright regime.
