By examining practices within music production, this thesis will demonstrate how multiple decisions and creative collaboration between music producers and a band impact on the development of a particular sound that is disseminated to an audience. Taking into account that music producers can have their own distinctive signature sound due to divergent working practices, bands often choose to work with specific music producers to shape or refine their sound. While a band can have an overall recognisable sound across a recording catalogue, each album can vary within that sound, resulting in a varied portfolio influenced by divergent music production choices and socio-cultural contexts. Using Irish music group The Corrs as a case study, this thesis critically examines three albums from their recording catalogue. Through a music production content analysis, which is supported by the reverse engineering of specified singles and album tracks through the use of digital audio workstation Pro Tools, the building blocks of The Corrs’ identifiable sound and recurring patterns are revealed. By examining the music production of each of the three albums in parallel with a critical study of the Irish music industry and cultural environment, this thesis adds to the field of musicology in record production. iii Table of Contents List of Figures ........................................................................................................... vi List of Tables ............................................................................................................ ix Chapter 1 – Introduction ............................................................................................ 1 Objectives .................................................................................................................................... 3 Methodology ................................................................................................................................ 4 Literature Review ........................................................................................................................ 7 Thesis Structure ......................................................................................................................... 11 Chapter 2 – The Corrs in the Context of Irish Music and Socio-Economic Ireland 13 Plotting the Soundscape of The Corrs’ Upbringing and Environment ...................................... 13 Development of The Corrs’ Sound in the Context of Irish Music ............................................ 21 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................. 27 Chapter 3 – Signature Sounds of Celtic Music ........................................................ 28 1.

  • David Foster Wallace on the Good Life
    10/31/2014Forthcoming in Freedom & Self: The Philosophy of David Foster Wallace 124 6 David Foster Wallace on the Good Life Nathan Ballantyne and Justin Tosi Dostoevsky wrote fiction about the stuff that’s really important. He wrote fiction about identity, moral value, death, will, sexual vs. spiritual love, greed, freedom, obsession, reason, faith, suicide. And he did it without ever reducing his characters to mouthpieces or his books to tracts. His concern was always what it is to be a human being—that is, how to be an actual person, someone whose life is informed by values and principles, instead of just an especially shrewd kind of self-preserving animal. —David Foster Wallace, “Joseph Frank’s Dostoevsky” David Foster Wallace thought that the point of writing fiction was to explore what it is to be a 1 human being. In this essay, we argue that his writings suggest a view about what philosophers would call the good life . Wallace’s perspective is subtle and worthy of attention. We’ll contrast what Wallace says with some popular positions from moral philosophy and contemporary culture. Wallace said much about ethical matters even though he didn’t write on them formally or systematically. How then shall we distill views from his writings? Our strategy is to present Wallace’s reactions, as found in his fiction and some essays, to three positions about the good life. We will ask what Wallace would make of those positions and thus try to triangulate his own view by reference to them. The first position we’ll explore is sometimes called ironism .
