Acknowledgments Finally, you can talk to me about my thesis again. You may be really glad that this thesis is now finished. You may be one of the people interested in what I actually do all the time at this university job. You may have been supporting this work in emotional and/or conceptual terms and now really deserve a copy. You may be a member of the thesis committee who is hereby greeted with utmost respect. You may be interested in this thesis for its scientific content. You may be a poor student who had to get ahold of this thesis and hope that at least these acknowledgments brighten up your day. For whatever reason you might have picked up this thesis, please know that a thesis can never be the product of one person alone, even though it most often feels that way. Countless people somehow contributed to it in different ways and might not even know. May these acknowledgments inform some of these people about it. First of all, I want to thank my supervisor Simone Strambach for deciding in September 2007 that this guy with the funny hat could be a good addition to her research group. In the last ten years, I have learned quite a bit about everything from her. This thesis would not have been possible without her support, ideas, and guidance, for which I am immensely grateful. I was lucky to have her as a supervisor, as she encouraged me to follow some crazy ideas. During all these years I had the pleasure to work with and learn from many great people at the Philipps-Universität Marburg. Especially sharing the office and classrooms with Philipp Hein, Konstantin Schneider, Annika Surmeier, Florian Warburg, Thomas Brenner, Charlotte Schlump, Anja Dettmann, Tim Appelhans, Ansgar Dorenkamp, Martin Reiss, Martje Timmermann and Hannah Pinell made work a lot more fun than it usually is. Thanks for all the inspiring talks, comments on my work, discussions, and laughs! A special thank goes out to my office roommate Annika Surmeier for reminding me of many deadlines and that there are too many coffee mugs on my table. The journey towards a Ph.D. is full of stops at conferences, workshops, and meetings. It has always been a pleasure to meet the people behind the literature that provides the foundation for this thesis. In particular, I want to thank Bjørn Asheim for being such an inspirational scholar who always keeps his ears open to the ideas of young researchers. I am also very fortunate that I could discuss my work and/or share a PREFACE IV v. Acknowledgments conference beer with Ron Boschma, Tom Brökel, Pierre-Alexandre Balland, Marte Cecilie Wilhelmsen Solheim, Johannes Glückler, Allan Watson, Brian Hracs, Christian Binz, and Roman Martin. I have also met a lot of fellow travelers who are also pursuing this idea of becoming very knowledgeable in a very specific field. Unfortunately, it would take a bit long to mention every participant of the Ph.D. workshop in Utrecht 2014 or the YEGN meetings of 2016 and 2017, but be assured: even though you may have been junior researchers, your ideas, questions, and methodical support were already senior. Still, I want to thank especially Daniel Hain, Antoine Habersetzer, Marcin Rataj, Frank van der Wouden, Taylor Brydges (look what your Myspace paper made me do!) and Chris Esposito for all the debates at the Ph.D. table and exploring conference cities together. At this point my closest friends may wonder, a) who all these people above are and b) when it is finally their turn to be acknowledged. Spoiler alert: Now is the time. I don’t know who I would be if you weren’t around. I want to thank all my friends for emotional support, proofreading and questioning everything I know. Someone has said that hard creative work is like breathing out – so you certainly need some quality time to breathe in. If this is true, then the friendships with Eike, Markus, Anne, Christian, Marco, Thomas, David, Anni, Katti, Manu, Kiki, the pub quiz team, Kathi, my bandmates (now there’s something to google for you!) and many more have been my oxygen during the last years. I want to end with the most important people in my life, my family, without nothing of this ever would have been possible. They deserve my deepest gratitude for providing me with love, support, genes, programming help (shoutout to my sister Laura!), patience, sympathy, and security. Finally, I want to thank my smart little nephew Anton for reminding me, especially in the last few days, that there are much more important

  • Roedelius Bio Engl
    ROEDELIUS: JARDIN AU FOU CD and Vinyl Release date: March 27th 2009 Cat No BB23 CD 927892/LP 927891 The essentials: ► Hans-Joachim Roedelius: born 1934; first record release in 1969 with Kluster (with Dieter Moebius and Konrad Schnitzler), and active ever since as a solo artist and in various collaborations (amongst others with Moebius/Cluster, Moebius and Michael Rother/Harmonia, as well as with Brian Eno). One of the most prolific musicians of the German avant-garde and a key figure in the birth of Krautrock, synthesizer pop and ambient music. ► Jardin au Fou was first released on the French EGG label in 1979 ► produced by Peter Baumann (Tangerine Dream) ► liner notes by Asmus Tietchens ► CD features six bonus tracks: three remixes, three new tracks One of the most remarkable albums of the so-called Krautrock scene has to be Jardin au Fou by Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia), issued in 1979. All the more noteworthy as it bore no resemblance whatsoever to what was expected of avant-garde electronica and displayed none of the typical Krautrock characteristics. Rhythm machine, sequencer and abstract sounds are conspicuous by their absence. Indeed, listeners were stunned by one of the most beautiful, charming, ethereal and peaceful albums in the history of German rock music. It was produced by Peter Baumann at his own Paragon Studios in 1978, a year after he left Tangerine Dream to concentrate on a solo career and production work. At the time, he was charged by the French label EGG with delivering three productions from the German electro/avant- garde/Krautrock cosmos.

  • Co-Creating Harry Potter: Children’S Fan-Play, Folklore and Participatory Culture
    CO-CREATING HARRY POTTER: CHILDREN’S FAN-PLAY, FOLKLORE AND PARTICIPATORY CULTURE by © Contessa Small A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland Abstract A number of scholars have argued that children’s traditional artifacts and play are being replaced by media culture objects and manipulated by corporations. However, while companies target and exploit children, it is problematic to see all contemporary youth or “kid” culture as simply a product of corporate interests. This thesis therefore explores children’s multivocal fan-play traditions, which are not only based on corporation interests, but also shaped by parents, educators and children themselves. The Harry Potter phenomenon, as a contested site where youth struggle for visibility and power, serves as the case study for this thesis. Through the examination of an intensely commercialized form of children’s popular culture, this thesis explores the intricate web of commercial, hegemonic, folk, popular and vernacular cultural expressions found in children’s culture. This thesis fits with the concerns of participatory literacy which describes the multiple ways readers take ownership of reading and writing to construct meaning within their own lives. Due to the intense corporate and adult interests in Pottermania, children have continually been treated in the scholarly literature as passive receptors

    Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and Logistics 1405484 22nd March 2018 Abstract Author(s) Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Title Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events.

    Course Title Popular Music in Germany The History of Electronic Music in Germany Course Number REMU-UT.9811001 SAMPLE SYLLABUS Instructors’ Contact Information Heiko Hoffmann [email protected] Course Details Wednesdays, 6:15pm to 7:30pm Location of class: NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room “Prenzlauer Berg” (tbc) Prerequisites No pre-requisites Units earned 2 credits Course Description From Karlheinz Stockhausen and Kraftwerk to Giorgio Moroder, D.A.F. and the Euro Dance of Snap!, the first nine weeks of class consider the history of German electronic music prior to the Fall of the Wall in 1989. We will particularly look at how electronic music developed in Germany before the advent of house and techno in the late 1980s. One focus will be on regional scenes, such as the Düsseldorf school of electronic music in the 1970s with music groups such as Cluster, Neu! and Can, the Berlin school of synthesizer pioneers like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching, or Giorgio Moroder's Sound of Munich. Students will be expected to competently identify key musicians and recordings of this creative period. The second half of the course looks more specifically at the arrival of techno, a new musical movement, and new technology in Berlin and Germany in the turbulent years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, up to the present. Indeed, Post-Wall East Berlin, full of abandoned spaces and buildings and deserted office blocks, was the perfect breeding ground for the youth culture that would dominate the 1990s and led techno pioneers and artists from the East and the West to take over and set up shop.

  • Brighton-Based Fujiya & Miyagi Have Been Making Expansive
    Brighton-based Fujiya & Miyagi have been making expansive, experimental and multifaceted electronic-driven music for twenty years now. As an outfit they have been as successful in their investigations into bleep as they have elongated Krautrock wig outs, and creating breathy electro pop as fiercely as they do post-punk-indebted scratchy dance. Their new album, ​ Flashback, is to be released in May 2019 and it finds a group re-connecting with the potent music of their youth and connecting it with their well-learned musical chops as adults. Fujiya & Miyagi first came to light with their 2002 album 'Electro karaoke in the negative style' which created the first glimpse of what was to become their distinctive sound of electronics and hushed vocals. It wasn't until 2006 with the release of 'Transparent Things' that the group gained wider critical acclaim and became more widely known both in Europe and in North America. The album blended the groups love of 70's German electronic Music, post-punk dance music and the sounds affiliated with labels such as Warp Records in the 1990s. They toured extensively during this period and also around 2009's Lightbulbs album. They then worked with LA based Producer Thom Monahan on 2011's Ventriloquizzing. The record was a move away from the more electronic and dance orientated direction of their previous records with more emphasis on sounds and textures. After a three year gap Fujiya & Miyagi returned in 2014 with their most electronic album to date titled 'Artificial Sweeteners'. Which returned to the working methods of their earlier records but with added vigour and experimentation.
