  • Allan Holdsworth Schille Reshaping Harmony
    BJØRN ALLAN HOLDSWORTH SCHILLE RESHAPING HARMONY Master Thesis in Musicology - February 2011 Institute of Musicology| University of Oslo 3001 2 2 Acknowledgment Writing this master thesis has been an incredible rewarding process, and I would like to use this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to those who have assisted me in my work. Most importantly I would like to thank my wonderful supervisors, Odd Skårberg and Eckhard Baur, for their good advice and guidance. Their continued encouragement and confidence in my work has been a source of strength and motivation throughout these last few years. My thanks to Steve Hunt for his transcription of the chord changes to “Pud Wud” and helpful information regarding his experience of playing with Allan Holdsworth. I also wish to thank Jeremy Poparad for generously providing me with the chord changes to “The Sixteen Men of Tain”. Furthermore I would like to thank Gaute Hellås for his incredible effort of reviewing the text and providing helpful comments where my spelling or formulations was off. His hard work was beyond what any friend could ask for. (I owe you one!) Big thanks to friends and family: Your love, support and patience through the years has always been, and will always be, a source of strength. And finally I wish to acknowledge Arne Torvik for introducing me to the music of Allan Holdsworth so many years ago in a practicing room at the Grieg Academy of Music in Bergen. Looking back, it is obvious that this was one of those life-changing moments; a moment I am sincerely grateful for.

  • THEOLOGICAL ISSUES in POST-APOCALYPTIC FICTION and CORMAC Mccarthy's the ROAD a Thesis Submitted
    “EVER IS NO TIME AT ALL”: THEOLOGICAL ISSUES IN POST-APOCALYPTIC FICTION AND CORMAC McCARTHY’S THE ROAD A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Zachary Christian Swartz, B.A. Georgetown University Washington D.C. December 3, 2009 “EVER IS NO TIME AT ALL”: THEOLOGICAL ISSUES IN POST-APOCALYPTIC FICTION AND CORMAC McCARTHY’S THE ROAD Zachary Christian Swartz, B.A. Mentor: William O’Brien, Ph.D. ABSTRACT As a sub-genre of science fiction, post-apocalyptic fiction typically presents a scenario in which human life continues after some cataclysmic event has decimated the world’s population. Its aims are thus congruent with those of biblical apocalyptic literature, which characteristically promises that the current world will be destroyed and replaced with one that is new and reserved only for the steadfast and the faithful. This thesis explores science fiction’s compatibility with biblical apocalyptic literature and examines how post-apocalyptic fiction has become one of the most relevant modern genres for serious theological consideration. To this end, this thesis considers the literary influences of science fiction and biblical apocalyptic literature, the ideas and imagery of the biblical book of Revelation, and the theological significance of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road , a representative work of post-apocalyptic fiction. Such an examination reveals the ways in which post- apocalyptic fiction utilizes the themes and symbols of biblical and apocalyptic literature to present similar warnings, similar promises, and similar appeals to steadfast faith.

His jukebox heartbreaker “She Don’t Love Me,” for example, is straight from the John Prine school of songwriting (“It’s not that she don’t love me, she just don’t like me anymore.”) The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning, Tony- nominated actor is known to fans, depending on the fan, as the guy from “Something Wild” or “Dumb and Dumber” or “The Squid and the Whale” or “Terms of Endearment” or HBO’s “The Newsroom” .

Subsequently, Zavod’s eponymous website revived, and could be found here. Googling his name also produced much information, performances on YouTube, etc. Zavod's website provided this CV up to 2001, and a credit listing: Often described as a keyboard wizard Allan Zavod a graduate of Melbourne Conservatorium was discovered by Duke Ellington who after hearing him playing jazz piano arranged for him to study at Berklee School of Music where he later held a post as professor of music.

  • Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting…
    1 of 38 Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting… By, Rick Calic www.jazzrockworld.com March 2006 Writing an article about Jazz Rock Fusion these days might seem as pointless as debating the benefits of Hi-Fi equipment with vacuum tubes vs. transistors to someone that uses an iPod. The only people that would care are older folks who even remember tubes and dedicated enthusiasts. On the other hand, while Jazz Rock Fusion might be older or seem equally pointless to many reading this article, there remains a large but scattered segment of the world’s population that sees the genre as a vibrant and legitimate art form. Sadly though, the musical perspective regarding Jazz Rock Fusion was narrow from the beginning and will probably always be that way. Jazz Rock Fusion, in terms of the entire world of music, constitutes just a tiny fraction of interest. Yet, if we accept this as fact, which most fans, musicians and certainly “big business” does, the generation of any interest at all is meritorious. In order to discuss the music with integrity, a ground rule needs to be established. This ground rule is required due to the unsolved, long lasting, and ongoing mysteries of the music and its unique identity. Mysteries such as: What is Jazz Rock Fusion? Who started Jazz Rock Fusion? What should it be called? And finally, with no major media support why is there still a market? So, what are the answers you ask? Quite simply these mysteries will remain mysteries. Answering the questions definitively will end up as trivial as the facts regarding the creation and development of the gut bucket.
