Your story matters Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:38811527 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA Modeling Musical Influence Through Data Abstract Musical influence is a topic of interest and debate among critics, historians, and general listeners alike, yet to date there has been limited work done to tackle the subject in a quantitative way. In this thesis, we address the problem of modeling musical influence using a dataset of 143,625 audio files and a ground truth expert-curated network graph of artist-to-artist influence consisting of 16,704 artists scraped from AllMusic.com. We explore two audio content-based approaches to modeling influence: first, we take a topic modeling approach, specifically using the Document Influence Model (DIM) to infer artist-level influence on the evolution of musical topics. We find the artist influence measure derived from this model to correlate with the ground truth graph of artist influence. Second, we propose an approach for classifying artist-to-artist influence using siamese convolutional neural networks trained on mel-spectrogram representations of song audio. We find that this approach is promising, achieving an accuracy of 0.7 on a validation set, and we propose an algorithm using our trained siamese network model to rank influences.

Talented artists representing a vast array of religious groups in America express their religion through popular music styles. Christian Rock, Jewish Reggae and Muslim Hip-Hop are not anomalies; rather they are indicative of a larger subculture of radio-ready religious music. This pop music has a purpose but it is not a singular purpose. This music might enhance the worship experience, provide a wholesome alternative to the unsavory choices provided by secular artists, infiltrate the mainstream culture with a positive message, raise the level of musicianship in the religious subculture or appeal to a religious audience despite origins in the secular world.

  • Thoughts Toward Analyzing Christian Media Marketing
    Selling Entertainment and Salvation: Thoughts Toward Analyzing Christian Media Marketing Presented at the Northeast Popular Culture Association Conference St. John Fisher College Rochester, NY October 26, 2012 Jim Y. Trammell, PhD. Assistant Professor The Nido R. Qubein School of Communication High Point University High Point, NC 27262 This presentation represents the first steps toward a longer-form project that explores Christian media marketing, and its implications for how we understand and approach the Christian faith. This presentation is not composed of fully-fleshed out ideas or a mature framework of analysis—rather it is best understood as a series of notes, an early draft of an introductory chapter that will establish the conceptualizations for an as- of-yet developed argument in a larger project. That project, which will address what Christian mass media do, must first acknowledge what Christian mass media are. This presentation represents a packing (and unpacking) of ideas toward defining Christian media. Simply put, this talk addresses “Christian media” as an oversimplified concept. Despite being ubiquitous, “Christian mass media” is not defined simply. What makes media “Christian?” We will explore the term “Christian media” through a review of how it is defined and used by observers, creators, distributors and other participants in the Christian media industry. In particular, we’ll explore the Christian media industry through a variety of texts—books, articles, press releases, blogs, etc.—to identify five dominant approaches to “Christian media”: by genre, content, artist, distributor, and purpose.
