    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

    SUBTERRANEAN MASQUERADE - The Great Bazaar Cat # TAK002 Format: Limited eition Digibook / Vinyl Style: Symphonic Progmetal Artist Website: www.submasq.net www.facebook.com/submasq "Welcome to the carnival of the dysfunctional and the disturbed" Formed back in 1997 with an idea to mix progressive rock, doom metal and 70's-inspired psychedelic rock, Subterranean Masquerade creates music with that edge of extreme metal and the loose atmosphere of Pink Floyd and Iron butterfly. While admittedly not such a pioneering idea on its own, the vision of freeing metal music from genre boundaries, wrapped by grand production is what often make the band's music sound like a carnival of different colors and scents… a masquerade! Subterranean Masquerade's music first came into the world back in 2000 with a cover version of Peter Murphy's classic "Cut's you up". The cover, released as part of an 80's metal cover compilation album, was recorded with guest appearances by Tomas Lindberg of At the Gates, Kobi Farhi of Orphaned Land and produced by Dori Bar Or from Eternal Gray. The first official band release came in the form of a semi-acoustic two track EP (17 minutes long) entitled "Temporary Psychotic State", this recording featured Paul Khur of Novembers doom as the lead vocalist as well as JWW of Agalloch on bass guitar and Andy Winter from the band WINDS on some of the keys and synths. Released later that year by THE END RECORDS, the EP was received with highly positive reviews from media and fans alike. In the midst of working on a full length album, the band entered the studio to record a DEAD CAN DANCE cover track.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.

  • Music As a Cultural Diplomacy Between Israel and Turkey (2008-2016)
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-06-32-04 idil, 2017, Cilt 6, Sayı 32, Volume 6, Issue 32 MUSIC AS A CULTURAL DIPLOMACY BETWEEN ISRAEL AND TURKEY (2008-2016) Mehtap DEMİR1 ÖZ The objective of this research is to explore how musical and cultural diplomacy have influenced political relationships between Turkey and Israel. Cultural diplomacy encompasses the exchange of ideas and information for the purpose of promoting mutually benefiting understanding between different cultural groups. Music diplomacy is the use of songs to promote respect, cooperation and understanding. The article emphasizes how Israel and Turkey have benefited from the power of music and cultural exchanges to maintain friendly ties when they have the lowest level of connection in terms of diplomatic relations. In the diplomatic crisis of two countries in 2010, the musicians, from both countries, took on the roles of peace ambassador and helped to soothe the masses through concerts. Using the constructivist theory of international relations, this article argues for promotion of culture and music as crucial diplomatic instruments for improving cooperation and communication between countries. In this context, it is very crucial to raise the highest possible levels of musical and cultural diplomacy between Israel and Turkey and to find ways to respect each other's cultural uniqueness. The topic of this article has been probed through the historical and critical method of musicology in the interdisciplinary context, including politics, international relations and cultural studies. Keywords: Israel, Turkey, Cultural Diplomacy, Music, International Relations Demir, Mehtap. "Music as a Cultural Diplomacy between Israel and Turkey (2008-2016)". idil 6.32 (2017): 1225-1240.

  • Of Desert and Nuclear Winter Last Year's Installment of The
    Of Desert and Nuclear Winter Last year’s installment of the Czech metal feast MetalGate Czech Death Fest brought music- wise, many strong performances. One of those was undeniably the show of the Mesopotamian black-thrash metal horde ARALLU that came from Jerusalem to present their Middle Eastern take on metal, which brought them rightful ovations. If you count yourself among their fans, either from before, or from their performance on MGCDF 2016 onward, we bring you great news – this April, i.e. from 21st till 29th, ARALLU are coming back to Central Europe on the Nuclear Desert Tour 2017, which will take them to several places around Czech Republic, but also to Germany and Slovakia! And should you did not have the opportunity, Nuclear Desert Tour is the ideal way to get acquainted with ARALLU. You will not regret it. These genies of the desert haunt the Israeli metal scene from already 1997, and since then supported on their home soil such global icons as Enslaved, Mayhem or Behemoth, toured Europe several times, and released five studio albums. The band is currently preparing the next addition to its discography, entitled “Six”, which will be released this June under the India-based label Transcending Obscurity. On its album, as well as on live shows, ARALLU enrich their black-thrash madness with traditional Middle Eastern instruments, which gives their music an extra dimension and charge. Since there is strength in numbers, ARALLU will not tour alone, but in the company of the Czech black metal pack NAURRAKAR that has been spreading its apocalyptic visions, recently of nuclear character, in Czech underground since 2007.

  • How Diverse Should Metal Be? the Case of Jewish Metal, Overt and Covert Jewishness
    How Diverse Should Metal Be? The Case of Jewish Metal, Overt and Covert Jewishness Keith Kahn-Harris Abstract Many critiques of metal mention its ‘whiteness’ as a problematic feature of it. Such critiques are to a certain extent refuted by the increasing number of studies that have demonstrated the national and ethnic diversity in metal scenes across the world. Metal is increasingly invested in notions of location and national origin, resulting in forms of ‘folk metal’ developing in metal scenes around the world. At the same time, there are some striking limitations as to the diversity of global metal. Metal scenes are much less developed in some conspicuously ‘non-white’ places including much of sub-Saharan Africa and many ‘non-white’ ethnic and national groups, such as those of Chinese origin, are under-represented in metal worldwide. It is also true that most of the metal scenes that are dominant in global terms, such as the Swedish scene, are overwhelmingly ‘white’. This chapter examines how far the aesthetic and political validity of metal is dependant on its diversity. To what extent is pushing for ethnic and national diversity within metal an important political, social and aesthetic goal? This chapter examines the case study of Jewish metal to illuminate these questions. Key Words: Jewish Metal, Jewishness, Popular Music, diversity, difference, music and social policy, aesthetics, politics. ***** Since 2005 I have written a blog called ‘Metal Jew’1. The blog stems from my deep interest and involvement in both the Jewish and metal communities. The blog was never intended to be a serious platform for the lengthy expressions of either my personal life or my intellectual ruminations.
