  • In Search of the Golden Age Hip-Hop Sound (1986–1996)
    In Search of the Golden Age Hip-Hop Sound (1986–1996) BEN DUINKER Department of Music Theory, Schulich School of Music, McGill University DENIS MARTIN Department of Sound Recording, Schulich School of Music, McGill University ABSTRACT: The notion of a musical repertoire’s “sound” is frequently evoked in journalism and scholarship, but what parameters comprise such a sound? This question is addressed through a statistically-driven corpus analysis of hip-hop music released during the genre’s Golden Age era. The first part of the paper presents a methodology for developing, transcribing, and analyzing a corpus of 100 hip-hop tracks released during the Golden Age. Eight categories of aurally salient musical and production parameters are analyzed: tempo, orchestration and texture, harmony, form, vocal and lyric profiles, global and local production effects, vocal doubling and backing, and loudness and compression. The second part of the paper organizes the analysis data into three trend categories: trends of change (parameters that change over time), trends of prevalence (parameters that remain generally constant across the corpus), and trends of similarity (parameters that are similar from song to song). These trends form a generalized model of the Golden Age hip-hop sound which considers both global (the whole corpus) and local (unique songs within the corpus) contexts. By operationalizing “sound” as the sum of musical and production parameters, aspects of popular music that are resistant to traditional music-analytical methods can be considered. Submitted 2016 September 16; accepted 2016 December 3. KEYWORDS: corpus study, sound, Golden Age hip-hop, music production, empirical musicology THIS paper explores the concept of describing a musical repertoire by its characteristic sound.

  • Iaspm-Us Conference Program Sketch
    MUSIC FLOWS March 13–16, 2014 IASPM-US 2014 CONFERENCE MUSIC FLOWS March 13–16 Hosted by: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Center for the Study of the American South Kenneth Janken, Interim Director Department of Music Mark Katz, Chair Southern Folklife Collection Steve Weiss, Curator Water in Our World at UNC Jamie Bartram and Terry Rhodes, Co-Chairs IASPM-US President’s Address On behalf of the United States branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, I welcome you to our 2014 conference, “Music Flows.” This year’s conference is hosted by one of the oldest public universities in the United States, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Largely buried underneath the historic campus is a small creek, first named in the 1907 History of the University of North Carolina (and still visible on Google Maps today) as The Meeting of the Waters. The ground it drains seems a highly auspicious one for a scholarly consideration of flow, liquidity, and circulation. From the licit or illicit circulation of songs to the melting of glaciers, popular music— and the world in which it exists—faces a future in which the status quo is quite literally in flux. With seemingly solid foundations melting away, we face a moment of productive instability, in which new potentialities emerge even as life as we know it may be dramatically transformed. As usual, the flow of ideas on this theme at our conference will be totally unrestrained (our get-togethers are something like drinking pop music scholarship from the proverbial fire hose) and we expect the flow of conviviality and libation to be similar.

  • CIPHER: Hip Hop Interpellation
    Rollefson Part B1 CIPHER ERC Consolidator Grant 2018 Research Proposal [Part B1] Principal Investigator: J. Griffith Rollefson Host Institution: University College Cork Proposed Duration: 60 Months CIPHER: Hip Hop Interpellation Le Conseil International pour Hip Hop et Recherche The International Council for Hip Hop Studies ABSTRACT: CIPHER will launch the global research initiative, Hip Hop Interpellation, pilot a new semantic digital/ethnographic web methodology, and codify the emergent discipline of global hip hop studies. It addresses the central question: why has this highly localized and authenticizing African American music translated so easily to far-flung communities and contexts around the globe? Through this specific question the project attempts to understand the foundational and broadly transferable question: how are globalization and localization related? To answer these questions CIPHER posits the Hip Hop Interpellation thesis, that hip hop spreads not as a copy of an African American original, but, through its performance of knowledge, emerges as an always already constituent part of local knowledge and practice. The theorization thus moves beyond the “hailing practices” described by Althuss er’s theory of interpellation—the discursive webs that coerce ideological incorporation—to describing an interpolation that locates other histories within and through hip hop’s performed knowledges. CIPHER’s semantic web methodology tests this thesis, tracking how hip hop memes—slogans, anthems, and icons—are simultaneously produced by people and produce people. This research clears the conceptual impasse of structural “cultural imperialism” vs. agentic “cultural appropriation” debates and instrumentalizes the methodological distance between ethnographic specificity and big data generality. It does so by creating a feedback loop between digital humanities methods (crowd sourcing, semantic tagging, computational stylometry) and ethnographic fieldwork techniques (interviews, musical analysis, participant observation).

Afrofuturism — a term more complex than it frst appears — delineates a counter-tradition of Afrodiasporic media production, thought, and performance that transforms science fctional practices and themes to envision alternate identities, timelines, and counter-realities. Such envisioning operations create startling, creative, and uncanny effects — ofen, by imaginatively challenging whitewashed futures and colonialist histories with Africentric and futurist revisionings, so as to alter the discriminatory coordinates of the present — while crucially offering ways to subversively transform Afrodiasporic subjectivities denied privileged access to the “human race”. Afrofuturism, I contend, postulates the conceptual thoughtware of its own production: its MythScience, chronopolitics, and conceptechnics.
