This thesis presents the findings of seven interviews with practising Western Canadian singer-songwriters regarding the use of pre-existing intellectual property in their creative process, as well as their understanding of and attitudes towards copyright law. These findings are placed within the context of current theoretical approaches to creativity, and are compared to the beliefs about creativity inherent in current copyright law.

  • John K. Samson & the Winter Wheat Spielten Im
    Songs aus zwei Solo-Alben und Klassiker seiner 2015 aufgelösten Band The Weakerthans: John K. Samson & The Winter Wheat traten in Hannover im sehr gut besuchten LUX auf. Funkeln in den Augen John K. Samson & The Winter Wheat spielten im LUX 08. Mai 2017, Von: Andreas Haug, Foto(s): Torsten Gadegast Mehr ruhige, intensive Momente, als Druck und Tempo: Am gestrigen Sonntagabend spielte der kanadische Musiker und Ex-The-Weakerthans-Frontmann John K.Samson mit seiner Band The Winter Wheat ein bemerkenswertes Konzert in Hannover. Im sehr gut besuchten LUX wurde ihm dabei hohe Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. Wenn nicht ganz selten mal eine Getränkeflasche auf den Boden kullerte, hätte man bei Balladen zeitweise die berühmte Stecknadel fallen hören. Neben dem Material aus seinen beiden Solo-Alben spielte Samson auch einige Songs aus dem Fundus der 2015 aufgelösten The Weakerthans. Da ist dieses verschmitzte Lächeln, der meist offene Blick in das aufmerksam lauschende Hannoveraner Publikum, hier und da ein Grinsen und ein Funkeln in den Augen: Der kanadische Sänger, Gitarrist und Songschreiber John K.Samson wirkt entspannt und ausgeschlafen, scheint den 75-minütigen Auftritt hier im LUX sichtlich zu genießen. Ebenso, wie die zahlreich erschienenen Besucher, die, von ganz, ganz wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen, sich mit voller Aufmerksamkeit Samson und seiner Band The Winter Wheat hingeben, deren Rhythmusgruppe, wie auch Samson selbst, schon in der 2015 aufgelösten Indie-Rock-Band The Weakerthans zusammen wirkten. The Weakerthans mit Sänger und Frontmann John K.Samson war eine Band, die in der Indie-Szene eine hohe Wertschätzung genoss, in Deutschland vor allem durch ihr 2003er-Album „Reconstruction Site“, das zu den herausragenden Veröffentlichungen der Band aus Winnipeg zählt.

  • Shine a Light: Surveying Locality, Independence, and Digitization in Ottawa’S Independent Rock Scene
    Shine a Light: Surveying Locality, Independence, and Digitization in Ottawa’s Independent Rock Scene by Michael Robert Audette-Longo A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Michael Audette-Longo ii Abstract This dissertation examines the articulation and reconfiguration of locality in Ottawa's independent (indie) rock scene. It argues that styles of producing and relating to indie music that have been traditionally embedded in local scenic activity and practices of “do it yourself” (DIY) have been translated into more ubiquitous, quotidian, and valuable metadata and labour that organizes and powers the operations of disparate digital media sites, including digital music services like Bandcamp, CBC Radio 3, and Wyrd Distro. This argument is developed through closer analyses of the following case studies: the entrepreneurial strategies and musical focuses of Ottawa-based independent record labels Kelp and Bruised Tongue Records; scene-bound media like zines, blogs, music video and campus/community radio; the re-articulation of local regions as metadata that organize the search and retrieval functionalities of the digital music streaming services CBC Radio 3 and Bandcamp (a particular iteration of local regions I dub the “indexi-local”); and the concurrent incorporation of DIY labour and reconfiguration of the business of independent music evident in the digital music retailers Bandcamp and Wyrd Distro. This project contends that in the midst of digitization, the media sites, entrepreneurial strategies, and subcultural practices traditionally folded into the production of independence in local indie music scenes persist.
