  • As Leukemia Becomes Terminal, Steve Lieberman the Gangsta Rabbi Releases the Most Powerful Work of His Life
    Jan 26, 2016 13:43 EST As leukemia becomes terminal, Steve Lieberman The Gangsta Rabbi releases the most powerful work of his life Los Angeles, CA - Despite being diagnosed with a terminal illness, songwriter/musician Steve Lieberman The Gangsta Rabbi took to his instruments and created the perfect fusion of experimental hard rock and jazz. Embellished with his signature sound, The Gangsta Rabbi’s relentless pursuit of creative expression shines through in his new album,"Terminator V617F." The CD will be released on February 1,2016 and is currently available online at GangstaRabbi.com. You can also stream the album on Soundcloud at http://buff.ly/1U15BAq Written and produced by Lieberman with the exception of three cover tunes by The Who, Chicago, and the Jim Carroll Band, "Terminator V617F" is his 25th CD release and features 15-tracks of genuine Gangsta Rabbi-styled industrial metal jazz-rock. The project title itself is more than letters and numbers. The meaning is as equally important as each song. The (JAK2) V617F is a chromosome mutation causing several types of myeloprolifirative leukemias, including Lieberman’s disease (post Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis). After battling leukemia for six years, Lieberman’s newly released "Terminator V617F" was produced and completed just two months after receiving news that the cancer has become terminal. With a third round of unsuccessful chemotherapy in progress, The Gangsta Rabbi would once again tread against the grain, doing things his way. The Brooklyn-born musician has built a successful career off his unorthodoxed approach. Lieberman became a legendary staple within the industrial rock genre largely due to his signature use of distorted bass, guitars and other instruments.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.
