    Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene

    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.

    A SCENE WITHOUT A NAME: INDIE CLASSICAL AND AMERICAN NEW MUSIC IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY William Robin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Benjamin Piekut © 2016 William Robin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT WILLIAM ROBIN: A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century (Under the direction of Mark Katz) This dissertation represents the first study of indie classical, a significant subset of new music in the twenty-first century United States. The definition of “indie classical” has been a point of controversy among musicians: I thus examine the phrase in its multiplicity, providing a framework to understand its many meanings and practices. Indie classical offers a lens through which to study the social: the web of relations through which new music is structured, comprised in a heterogeneous array of actors, from composers and performers to journalists and publicists to blog posts and music venues. This study reveals the mechanisms through which a musical movement establishes itself in American cultural life; demonstrates how intermediaries such as performers, administrators, critics, and publicists fundamentally shape artistic discourses; and offers a model for analyzing institutional identity and understanding the essential role of institutions in new music. Three chapters each consider indie classical through a different set of practices: as a young generation of musicians that constructed itself in shared institutional backgrounds and performative acts of grouping; as an identity for New Amsterdam Records that powerfully shaped the record label’s music and its dissemination; and as a collaboration between the ensemble yMusic and Duke University that sheds light on the twenty-first century status of the new-music ensemble and the composition PhD program.

    North Carolina Museum of Art Celebrates 20Th Anniversary of Outdoor Summer Concerts with Special Lineup of Local, National Performers

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT Emily Kowalski | (919) 664-6795 | [email protected] North Carolina Museum of Art Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Outdoor Summer Concerts with Special Lineup of Local, National Performers Summer season also includes outdoor movies, family-friendly performances, and a music-movie combo Raleigh, N.C.—The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) announces its 20th anniversary summer outdoor concert and movie series. This season’s lineup includes 12 concerts, one music-movie combo special event, 16 movies, and three family-friendly performances. “We’re thrilled to celebrate this special anniversary with an all-star lineup featuring local favorites, exciting newcomers to the music scene, and internationally acclaimed rock bands,” says George Holt, the NCMA’s director of performing arts and film. “Since the debut of the Joseph M. Bryan, Jr., Theater in the Museum Park in 1997, we’ve welcomed some of the world’s finest musicians and performers, and we’ve experienced countless unforgettable moments.” Concerts and Family-Friendly Performances The concert series kicks off May 6 with a concert by Chapel Hill indie folk band Mipso.

Tegan and Sara—who over eight albums and nearly two decades have evolved from a folk duo to acclaimed indie- rockers and then to a glossier dance-pop powerhouse—perform on June 9.
  • RALEIGH-DURHAM North Carolina's Axis of Cool

    RALEIGH-DURHAM North Carolina's Axis of Cool

    the SCENE RALEIGH-DURHAM North Carolina’s axis of cool. With its food trucks, design collectives and rehabbed downtowns, the Research Triangle — the patch of North Carolina that is home to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and 150,000 college students — seems to be yet another hipster vibe factory. It’s Silver Lake, you think, just with a few more ‘‘yes, ma’ams.’’ But then you taste the okra and sni the heirloom tomatoes. You meet an ex-vegan who’s smoking whole hogs and a church pastor who plays in a secular rock group. And speaking of music, it’s everywhere — beamed out from great college radio stations, seeping out of historic rock clubs and packaged by a growing local record industry . This is the kind of place where bands still play house shows, where a local will endorse a dingy club by telling you that, inside, it feels like you’re at a Halo of Flies show in 1988. You don’t really know what he’s talking about, but you must nd out. STEPHEN HEYMAN RALEIGH DENIM Victor Lytvinenko, 30, a former cook at Nobu in New York, and his wife Sarah, 29, who studied design at North Carolina State, began sewing selvage denim in their living room three years ago; now their jeans are on sale at Barneys for up to $300. Inside Raleigh Denim’s new workshop (and small retail space), ambient music plays over the hum of vintage sewing machines, including one from 1921 that torques hemlines in a way that makes denim geeks freak.
