The Beatles revolution- ized the recording process using technology to achieve completely unprecedented sounds and arrangements. Until then, popular music recordings were simply faithful reproductions of a live performance. Over the past fifty years, recording and production techniques have advanced so far that another challenge has arisen: it is now very difficult for performing artists to give a live performance that has the same impact, complexity and nuance as a produced studio recording.

  • A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West's Twitter Practice
    The Life Of Kanye A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West’s Twitter Practice. 15.08.2016 Lund University M.Sc. in Media and Communications Studies Gloe Lucas 920721-T197 !1 ABSTRACT Celebrity Twitter use has recently been the subject of celebrity studies. Performing authenticity and intimacy as well as engaging interactively with followers are considered central characteristics of ‘micro-celebrity’ practice, which is widely considered to be extensively utilized by celebrities in their use of Twitter. Taking this framework suggested by celebrity studies as a point of departure, this thesis focuses on the case study of Kanye West, whose recent use of Twitter has been given much attention by celebrity news media due to his controversial tweets. In carrying out a content analysis of this case study’s tweets, this thesis aims to understand the way Kanye West is using Twitter, what strategies he is employing and how this links to the structural implications of celebrity. As the findings suggest, Kanye West employs two main strategies in his usage of Twitter: In his first strategy he uses Twitter as a tool to promote his celebrity commodity, increase his celebrity capital and create an elite network of fellow celebrities. The second strategy aims at creating an authentic and personal narrative that redefines and extends Kanye West’s celebrity persona. Within this second strategy, “stream-of-consciousness” writing was identified as a unique strategy employed by Kanye West in his Twitter practice. Keywords: Celebrity, Twitter, Micro-Celebrity, Authenticity, Intimacy, Performance. Number of words: 20.650 !2 Acknowledgements I hereby want to thank those that enabled and helped to create this paper.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository MAKING MUSIC RADIO THE RECORD INDUSTRY AND POPULAR MUSIC PRODUCTION IN THE UK James Mark Percival A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 2007 J Mark Percival - Making music radio: the record industry and popular music production in the UK For my mother, Elizabeth Ann Percival (née Murphy) (1937-2004) and my father, Stanley Thomas Percival. J Mark Percival - Making music radio: the record industry and popular music production in the UK i ABSTRACT Music radio is the most listened to form of radio, and one of the least researched by academic ethnographers. This research project addresses industry structure and agency in an investigation into the relationship between music radio and the record industry in the UK, how that relationship works to produce music radio and to shape the production of popular music. The underlying context for this research is Peterson's production of culture perspective. The research is in three parts: a model of music radio production and consumption, an ethnographic investigation focusing on music radio programmers and record industry pluggers, and an ethnographic investigation into the use of specialist music radio programming by alternative pop and rock artists in Glasgow, Scotland. The research has four main conclusions: music radio continues to be central to the record industry's promotional strategy for new commercial recordings; music radio is increasing able to mediate the production practices of the popular music industry; that mediation is focused through the social relationship between music radio programmers and record industry pluggers; cultural practices of musicians are developed and mediated by consumption of specialist music radio, as they become part of specialist music radio.

Visiting the weather observatory on top of the George Kenyon Building Universities are, by almost any comparison, complex organisations. As one of the largest and most diverse universities in the UK, Manchester is more complex than most. In addition to our major activities of teaching, research and scholarship, and social responsibility, we also engage in commercialisation of some of our work; we host conferences; open some of our spaces to the wider public; contribute to policy at local, national and international levels and are the stewards of many historic and valuable artefacts, to name but a few aspects of our ‘every day functions’. We have numerous stakeholders both within the University (our staff and students) and externally, including our alumni, the families of our students, funders, academic collaborators; our near neighbours, government, regulatory bodies and many international partners. This scale and A tour of the Joule Library with Library staff complexity brings both advantages and disadvantages, and in particular the challenge of communication.

  • On This Path, You Are Sure to Get Lost
    ON THIS PATH, YOU ARE SURE TO GET LOST On this path, you are sure to get lost is a multidisciplinary solo work that plunges, through dance, music and theater, THE PROJECT: into a process of self-knowledge, maturation and liberation of the self. Based on Charles Eisenstein's text Letter to My Younger Self, the work explores the decisive moment that encourag- es us to take a personal journey that will allow us to know who we really are, by facing our demons and stripping ourselves of expectations and social pressures to find our voice and follow our own rhythm: compose our personal life song. It is a collective creation for which the performer, Diana León, worked individually with three emerging choreogra- phers: the Mexican Paco Ziel, Jérémy Galdeano, from France, and Vera Kvarcakova from the Czech Republic, to develop three different solos that were later woven togeth- er by Mexican director and playwright Nicolas Núñez into a 50 minute solo piece The original music was composed by British guitarist Tom Jarvis, Alejandro Loredo, who specializes in Son Jarocho (traditional music from Veracruz, Mexico), and Diana León, who has studied singing techniques, integrating them with dance. The piece was selected to premiere as part of the program- ming of the Theater System of Mexico City in June 2018, with a successful season of six performances at the Benito Juárez Theater. The piece can be performed in Spanish, English or French. Vías is a creative development platform based on classical and contemporary dance, which aims to promote research, creation, THE COMPANY collaboration and promotion of the arts.
