  • Understanding the Experience of Attending a Modern Music Concert
    UNDERSTANDING THE EXPERIENCE OF ATTENDING A MODERN MUSIC CONCERT Eloi Fernández Aisa Master’s Thesis – Spring 2013 Experience-based Designing Centre Supervisor and co-supervisor: Gloria Gómez and Ian Coxon M.Sc. in Product Development and Innovation Institute of Technology and Innovation Faculty of Engineering - University of Southern Denmark Understanding the experience of attending a modern music concert 1 ABSTRACT This research aims to uncover valuable insights that can be used in the development of innovative products, services or systems, after deeply understanding the experience of the modern music concert attendees, concretely in small-medium indoor venues. Although the overarching goal is to improve the concert experience, the main objective for this research is to focus on exploring the most profound aspects of the experience, usually hidden, which lead to the detection of deep and significant user needs. A qualitative research which applies a hermeneutical phenomenological approach is the method used to achieve the expected goal. Different steps, such as immersing myself into the experience or exploring other’s feelings and impressions through intense non-structured interviews, help me to collect all the data required for a proper research. The SEEing method is a systematic process useful to analyse the qualitative raw material, acquiring an advantageous understanding of the deeper meaning layers of the lived experience. As an output of this research process, a clear picture of the experience of attending a modern music concert in small-medium venues appears. A simple read to the seven category stories that sharply define the experience, is enough for a non-expert in the field to plainly understand the experience insights.

  • FELIX the NEWSPAPER of IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16Th May 1980 Issue No
    FELIX THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16th May 1980 Issue No. 553 President of ICWA shocks AGM A new President was ratified at last Tuesday's ICWA AGM. Sandra O'Sullivan was the only candidate for the post of President and so won the election. However, in a speech to the meeting she said that in her opinion ICWA has failed. Sandra said that she would not get rid of ICWA but would just make it clear to the girls at IC how little ICWA does for them. Sandra said that she would not sit on any committees and this could lead to an attempt by other members of ICWA to remove her from the position. This year's President said, "It's just a bit rediculous but all the rest of the committee are very keen - we will continue anyway. It doesn't matter about the President." " Last years ICU President, Mary Attenborough, joked that she might as well stand for Chairman of the Conservative Society. (Mary is known for her political affilations to political groups other than the Conservatives and if she was elected CONSOC chairman she considered that it would be equally rediculous). Roger Stotesbury commented that Sandra The new ICWA President was the only candidate, who stood in the ICWA elections,who actually bothered to come to the meeting. Sandra O'Sullivan "It just shows that ICWA cannot survive if there is no interest," he said. RCS AGM Last Tuesday's RCS Annual General Meeting managed to elect an Assistant Honorary Secretary, Jane Lavers, and ratified the folio wing posts: Ents Chairman— Dave Thompson; Publicity Officer — Caroline Godin.

  • Efterklang Tillbaka I Uppsala 4 December Återintar Scenen Med Nytt Sound
    Uppsala 25.11.2010 Pressmeddelande Efterklang tillbaka i Uppsala 4 december Återintar scenen med nytt sound Uppsala Konsert & Kongress Efterklang Förband: Heather Woods Broderick Lördag 4 december 19.30 Sal B För två år sedan gjorde danska Efterklang en helt magisk och utsåld konsert i Uppsala. Och som enda konserthus i Sverige visade Uppsala Konsert & Kongress också deras konsertfilm Parades. De hett eftertraktade danskarna har med sin blandning av sinnlighet och bitterstänkt melankoli alltid lyckats överraska. Lördag 4 december är de tillbaka i Uppsala med ett nytt sound. Efterklang tar annorlunda vägar med sin stillsamma men lustfyllt melankoliska electronica. Efter de framgångsrika tidigare albumen kom de under våren med nya Magic Chairs där musikens innerligt monumentala känslosamhet lyfts till ännu högre nivåer. Det de har skapat är helt oemotståndligt! Magic Chairs är deras tredje fullängdsalbum men det första på brittiska indie rock-skivbolaget 4AD Records. Och de säger själva att de gjort en annorlunda musikalisk resa. Många kända band, de nämner Beatles, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Talk Talk, Soft Machine, har gått från vanliga poplåtar till stora klassiskt inspirerade former. Efterklang gör tvärt om. Deras vackra och ljusa experimenterande har fått tydligare former och låtarna blivit mer tillgängliga. – När vi gjorde Parades var vi i studion över ett år utan att göra en enda konsert, vilket gjorde det albumet väldigt speciellt. Med Magic Chairs ville vi inte göra den grejen igen, säger bandmedlemmen Mads Brauer. Magic Chairs började ta form i början av 2009 och låtarna testades vid flera konserter på den amerikanska publiken. – Den här gången ville vi verkligen känna låtarna innan vi spelade in albumet, säger sångaren Casper Clausen.
