Satan's Trance Media & Magic Final Exam Colleen Viana 12
SATAN’S TRANCE MEDIA & MAGIC FINAL EXAM https://vimeo.com/55339082 COLLEEN VIANA 12/11/12 Sensation can be defined as the mediation of body and world. It enforces and impacts a premonition of what our bodies experience upon some type of contact. Thus, it allows the body to be opened up to other forces and becomings that affirm in and as the future. This concept, posed by Elizabeth Grosz in Chaos, Territory, Art: Deleuze and the Framing of the Earth, is quite eminent in the subject of magic. The quandry of it as the mediation of object and experience, or science and religion, is what drew me to this video experimentation of the mediations created by media in occult and horror film. While sensation is, perhaps, the only state of consciousness that is impossible to scientifically measure, as are the limits of magic, I find it more valuable to visually see how it can be created/manipulated. The juxtaposition of horror film/television clips, and electronic music (with cosmological and haunting characteristics), and documentary footage from raves/electronic music festivals (that possess qualities of the occult) is experimented in this project. The latter adds an extra layer to this research, paralleling a cultural music phenomenon with the magical representations and rites defined by Mauss. With these media devices combined, I hope to embody this sensory experience that Grosz explains “as the contraction of vibrations...the forces of becoming-other” (Grosz, 80-1). Essentially, how can we experience Hollywood-defined magic and the magic associated with music and rave culture differently? In this video montage, I aim to highlight the three components of magic presented in Mauss’ A General Theory of Magic, in relation to the electronic dance music (EDM) culture.

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2013) - The three-day Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in June 2013 pumped an estimated $278 million into the Clark County economy, according to an economic impact report released today by Beacon Economics, LLC. With incredible growth since its premiere in Las Vegas in 2011, Insomniac has generated more than $621 million dollars for the Las Vegas economy. The study, commissioned by Insomniac, revealed that the third annual event generated $136.9 million in attendee spending, a 38 percent increase from the 2012 event. Nearly 95 percent of attendees traveled from outside the Las Vegas area for the event, accounting for an estimated 92,000 hotel room nights alone, generating $25 million in accommodations. Additionally, fans spent more than $45 million on food and beverage, $22.1 million in transportation, $19.6 million in gaming, $13.1 million in entertainment and $11.8 million on retail spending. "Each year our goal with EDC Las Vegas is to improve the fan experience and I'm so happy that, as we continue to improve and grow, that Clark County continues to benefit too," said Pasquale Rotella, founder and CEO of Insomniac. "The Insomniac family and our fans have truly embraced Las Vegas as our home during EDC Week in the City, and the idea that the fans get to have fun while also creating hundreds of millions of dollars for the local economy is truly a win-win situation.

The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music
The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music Blair Black Within electronic dance music cultures (EDMCs), musicality and experi- mentation have been indebted to black and Latinx DJs of color since its inception in the 1980s. Even today, queer DJs of color continue to push the envelope of experimental EDM by showcasing dance music from the “global south,” centering remix styles that border between hip hop and EDM, and sampling cultural references popular in queer communities of color. This article explores music’s complex entanglements with identity and community for queer people of color in underground electronic dance music scenes. To be specific, the individuals within these communities self-identify as racial/ethnic minorities on the genderqueer spectrum of non-normative gender and sexual identities (gay/lesbian, trans, non- binary, etc.). Moreover, I argue that these socio-economic positions act as an impetus of a sound economy – the shared system of socio-cultural aesthetics – for queer communities of color in EDM. The first section dis- cusses the identity politics that underlie this sound economy by tracing how intertextuality allows DJs to display these minoritarian1 perspectives. I then highlight why (re)centering racialized queer identities is radical by tracing EDM’s political shifts. Specifically, I highlight how narratives sur- rounding EDM changed due to the demographic turn in Europe during the 1990s. The last section explores the re-emergence of pivotal queer DJs of color and the scenes they founded in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York by focusing on the flows of culture and people between cities to point to a more extensive global network of racialized queer communities in constant musical and political dialogue.

This paper focuses on the impact of outdoor music festivals, their carbon footprints, where they source energy from, and how to make it more environmentally friendly. Thousands of large music events take places around the globe each year, and with a growing population, this issue will only get worse. Working with Relentless Beats of Arizona, this paper uses Decadence Arizona as a case study. Decadence Arizona is an annual 2-day music festivals taking place on New Year’s Eve and New Years Day, in Chandler, Arizona. This paper will determine how, and what resources are needed to power Decadence through solar panels alone.

Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival New York! – LOS ANGELES (May 14, 2015) – Live Nation and Uber today announced a marketing partnership which will provide concert and festival goers an easy way to get to and from certain Live Nation events when riding with Uber. Uber services will be offered for 20 festivals throughout the year, 62 select Live Nation amphitheaters, clubs and theaters across the U.S. Festivals including the Electric Daisy Carnival, Faster Horses, Music Midtown, HARD Summer Music Festival, and more will be a part of this great program. [Full list is below]. “Fans want the journey to and from a concert to be as smooth as possible,” said Russell Wallach, President of Live Nation Media & Sponsorships. “Uber offers a convenient alternative to driving for riders to any event, and we are thrilled about the experience this brings for all of our fans.” This unique marketing partnership lets fans focus more on the music experience by having easy transportation methods and designated drop-off and pick-up locations, where available, and reduces the frustration associated with traffic and other driving concerns — just fun, friends and music.

Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman Tackles the Multi-Farious Scene in One of America's Biggest Cities
Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman tackles the multi-farious scene in one of America's biggest cities. Los Angeles has always been a capital of pop culture. Outside of rave, however, it's never had much of a reputation for its dance music culture. Until recently, that is. The efforts of local promoters have given rise to enormous EDM festivals, the Low End Theory-driven beat scene and thriving techno and house crews—and have led to the city finally becoming internationally recognized. Now, it seems, a place that houses four million people inside the city limits and 18 million in the greater Southland area, is finally representing itself on the world stage. True to its geography—a set of suburbs fronting as a megalopolis—Los Angeles doesn't have a dominant sound or theme. Instead, there are many scenes tugging for attention and battling over the few legitimate dance venues the city has to offer. It's enormously difficult to acquire a liquor license in LA, thanks in no small part to club-owning cowboys like Eddie Nash (of Wonderland murder fame), and those that do can't serve all that late anyway. Most nights last from 10 until 2 or 3 AM (a reality that often results in seeing your headlining DJ for two hours). It doesn't help that many of the historical clubs/bars in places like Hollywood and West Hollywood are a tough sell to fans of underground music, as the price points, degree of parking difficulty and douchebaggery quotient are all high. That means that many parties of note take place downtown or in other east side neighborhoods (if not a private estate).

The study, commissioned by the producers of Electric Daisy Carnival, revealed that 90% of the attendees traveled from outside the Las Vegas area, combining with the local market for spending of more than $103 million, a 45.4% increase over 2011. This included more than $28.3 million spent in accommodations, $19.8 million in transportation, $19.6 million in dining, $17.2 million in gaming, $10.5 million in entertainment and $7.9 million in retail. In 2011, EDC attracted an astounding 230,000 fans to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and a post-EDC study by Beacon Economics revealed that 98% of them planned to return to Las Vegas for the event in 2012. Not only did they return, but they brought their friends, setting a new record in 2012 with a total attendance of more than 320,000 fans coming to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the EDC experience over three days, following a sellout at 345,000 tickets. "Our team worked day and night to ensure that this summer's festival was the most ambitious to date and the fans responded overwhelmingly, traveling to Las Vegas earlier and staying longer," said Pasquale Rotella, President and CEO of Insomniac.
