  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

The Protest Song: Bridge Leadership, Sonic Innovation, And The Long Civil Rights Movement Abstract This dissertation tells a new story of the American Civil Rights Movement through the woman’s singing voice. The dissertation explores what is possible when political music is disentangled from patriarchal narratives of leadership and artistic genius. “The Protest Song” contends that women across the color line were pioneering new types of lyrical expressions, musical aesthetics, and performance practices that sought to articulate feminist identities inside the long black freedom movement, harnessing the power of music to push for a broader and simultaneous liberation from racial and gendered oppression.

Singing their way to justice. Singing truth to power. Women of the Blues are a voice of social consciousness. MAVIS STAPLES The Staple Singers gospel-folk performances at marches, rallies and churches, inspired participants to keep them in high spirits. Pops said about Dr. King, "If he can preach it, we can sing it." Their song "Freedom Highway" was about the march. The first song Pops ever taught Mavis Staples and her siblings was "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," clearly an anthem for today. Throughout her life Mavis Staples has been a champion for civil rights and social justice through her music. This was very apparent when Mavis teamed up with Chicago musician Jeff Tweedy’s "Peaceful Dream" on her 2017 album, If All I Was Was Black. Released in April 2020, All In It Together, has all proceeds going to My Block, My Hood, My City organization. KOKO TAYLOR "I'm A Woman" Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor sang as an expression of her deeply rooted connection to her youth growing up in Bartlett, Tennessee.

Au bout de six ans. Né à Austin au Texas, en 1913 : fasciné par la verve des prédicateurs afro- américains, il sort de l’université du Texas diplômé en folklore – avec un prénom pareil, John Henry se devait d’être ou bien folkloriste, ou bien le personnage d’une chanson éponyme. Malgré lui, il devint effectivement ce personnage. Au début des années 1950, en tant qu’animateur du Johnny’s Front Porch sur cbs radio, il est le dernier avatar de Will Rogers, conteur d’histoires sudistes et diseur d’homélies. À New York, il intervient dans des jeux télévisés et croise la route d’Alan Lomax et de quelques autres dans le milieu gauchiste des professionnels de la musique folk. La liste noire sévit partout, dans tous les domaines, pro- mulguée par la Maison Blanche, le Congrès, le fbi, dans l’industrie du divertissement par les studios de cinéma, les chaînes de radio ou de télévision et, en particulier, par des comités de vigilance comme Counterattack, avec son guide Red Channels (canaux rouges) constam- ment mis à jour.
