  • Invironments: Critical Listening Positionalities in Soundscape Ecology
    INvironments: Critical Listening Positionalities in Soundscape Ecology Luca Raskin A Thesis in The Department of Communication Studies Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Media Studies) at Concordia University Tio’tia:ke (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) March 2021 © Luca Raskin, 2021 Concordia University School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Luca Raskin Entitled: INvironments: Critical Listening Positionalities in Soundscape Ecology and submitting in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts (Media Studies) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final Examining Committee: Elizabeth Miller: Chair Vivek Venkatesh: Examiner Owen Chapman: Supervisor Approved by: Monika Kin-Gagnon (Chair of Department) 25 March 2021 Dean of Faculty: Pascale Sicotte iii ABSTRACT INvironments: Critical Listening Positionalities in Soundscape Ecology Luca Raskin INvironments is a podcast centered around how soundscape recordings can be used as a method to study changes in natural ecosystems. More specifically, the podcast investigates soundscape ecology by exploring its various methodologies and how they form ecological knowledges. The basic idea for soundscape ecology and its “auditory link to nature” (Pijanowski et al., 2011, p.203) is to provide supplementary indicators of ecosystem health and biodiversity by analyzing and comparing the frequency spectrum of a sound recording from a given environment. While the discourse and methods of recording in soundscape ecology stem from specific trends in the field of acoustic ecology and the works of the World Soundscape Project (WSP), the notion of “soundscape” in this context is not fixed, but still open to interpretations.

  • Creative Musical Improvisation in the Development and Formation of Nexus Percussion Ensemble
    ! ! CREATIVE MUSICAL IMPROVISATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND FORMATION OF NEXUS PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE ! ! ! ! Olman Eduardo! Piedra ! ! ! ! ! A Dissertation! Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements !for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL! ARTS May !2014 Committee: Roger B. Schupp, Advisor Gregory A. Rich, Graduate Faculty Representative Katherine L. Meizel John W. Sampen !ii ABSTRACT ! Roger B. Schupp, Advisor ! ! The percussion ensemble is a vital contemporary chamber group that has lead to a substantial body of commissions and premieres of works by many prominent composers of new music. On Saturday May 22nd, 1971, in a concert at Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, NEXUS percussion ensemble, hailed by many as the world’s premiere percussion ensemble, improvised the entire program of their inaugural, 120 minute concert as a newly formed group, while using non-Western instruments with which the majority of the audience were unfamiliar.! NEXUS percussion ensemble has been influential in helping create new sounds and repertoire since their formation in 1971. While some scholarly study has focused on new commission for the medium, little attention has been given to the importance and influence of creative improvised music (not jazz) in the formation of NEXUS and its role in the continued success of the contemporary percussion ensemble.! This study examined the musical and cultural backgrounds of past and current members of NEXUS percussion ensemble, and the musical traditions they represent and recreate. The author conducted and transcribed telephone interviews with members of NEXUS percussion ensemble, examined scholarly research related to drumming traditions of the world and their use of improvisation, researched writings on creative improvisation and its methods, and synthesized !iii the findings of this research into a document that chronicles the presence of creative improvisation in the performance practices of NEXUS percussion ensemble.
