  • Rock Harmony Reconsidered: Tonal, Modal and Contrapuntal Voice&
    DOI: 10.1111/musa.12085 BRAD OSBORN ROCK HARMONY RECONSIDERED:TONAL,MODAL AND CONTRAPUNTAL VOICE-LEADING SYSTEMS IN RADIOHEAD A great deal of the harmony and voice leading in the British rock group Radiohead’s recorded output between 1997 and 2011 can be heard as elaborating either traditional tonal structures or establishing pitch centricity through purely contrapuntal means.1 A theory that highlights these tonal and contrapuntal elements departs from a number of developed approaches in rock scholarship: first, theories that focus on fretboard-ergonomic melodic gestures such as axe- fall and box patterns;2 second, a proclivity towards analysing chord roots rather than melody and voice leading;3 and third, a methodology that at least tacitly conflates the ideas of hypermetric emphasis and pitch centre. Despite being initially yoked to the musical conventions of punk and grunge (and their attendant guitar-centric compositional practice), Radiohead’s 1997– 2011 corpus features few of the characteristic fretboard gestures associated with rock harmony (partly because so much of this music is composed at the keyboard) and thus demands reconsideration on its own terms. This mature period represents the fullest expression of Radiohead’s unique harmonic, formal, timbral and rhythmic idiolect,4 as well as its evolved instrumentation, centring on keyboard and electronics. The point here is not to isolate Radiohead’s harmonic practice as something fundamentally different from all rock which came before it. Rather, by depending less on rock-paradigmatic gestures such as pentatonic box patterns on the fretboard, their music invites us to consider how such practices align with existing theories of rock harmony while diverging from others.

    BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE ALICANTE MIKE STERN ■ BIOGRAFÍA Mike Stern (* 10 de enero de 1953 en Boston) es un guitarrista estadounidense de jazz que ha trabajado con músicos como Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Jaco Pastorius, Joe Henderson, Jim Hall, Pat Martino, Tom Harrell, Arturo Sandoval, Tiger Okoshi, Michael Brecker, Bob Berg, David Sanborn, Steps Ahead y los Brecker Brothers. Graduado en el Berklee College of Music de Boston, se orientó hacia el jazz desde su formación. Se unió a Blood, Sweat & Tears durante una gira en 1977 y participó en tres de sus discos: In Concert, More than Ever y Brand New Day. Desde entonces ha trabajado con multitud de músicos, destacando su colaboración con Miles Davis desde 1981 hasta 1983. Su primer álbum de estudio, Upside Downside, salió al mercado en 1986 en el sello Atlantic Records, y contó con la colaboración de Jaco Pastorius, David Sanborn y Bob Berg. Su segundo trabajo, titulado Time in Place, fue publicado en 1988 e incluye a Peter Erskine en la batería, Jim Beard en el teclado, Jeff Andrews en el bajo, Don Alias en la percusión y Don Grolnick al órgano. A este disco le siguió Jigsaw un año después, cuando formó un grupo con Berg, Dennis Chambers y Lincoln Goines que duró hasta 1992. En 1993 grabó su mejor disco, Standards (And Other Songs), que le valió para ser proclamado como Mejor guitarrista del año por la revista Guitar Player. Recibió dos nominaciones a los premios Grammy en 1994 y 1996 por los discos Is What It Is y Between the Lines.

  • Where Murakami Ends and Radiohead Begins: a Comparative Study
    WHERE MURAKAMI ENDS AND RADIOHEAD BEGINS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY By Samuel JP Shaw Foreword: This is not an academic essay, in so far I do not wish for it to be taken too seriously. I am all too aware of the danger of comparative studies. In simply setting down the title above, I am likely to have to answer to the charge of pretension. However, I would not set about this task unless I believed that, on a basic level, there is some worth in it. And I believe there is. You can judge for yourself I must also point out that it is not my intention to try and make explicit links between my two subjects. I don’t mean to argue that they are coming from exactly the same place and not for a moment do I wish to suggest that my interpretations are the only ones there can be. You may disagree with all that I say. I have simply noted a range of similarities, which I have tentatively explored in a way which, I hope, insults neither subject and complements both. This study is not designed for the reader to leave thinking, ‘Wow! Radiohead and Murakami are just like each other!’ Quite simply, this is not the case. My aim instead is that the reader will leave thinking ‘Hey! That makes me look at Radiohead/Murakami in a different way’. 1 Where I begin: I started reading Murakami in the spring of 2002. I first heard Radiohead a long time before that, but their music had probably at this same time become a bigger feature in my life than ever before.
