    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • The Use of Modelling Technology and Its Effects on the Music Industry
    The Use of Modelling Technology and Its Effects on the Music Industry Viljami Wenttola Bachelor’s thesis May 2017 Degree Programme in Media and Arts Music Production ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Media and Arts Music Production VILJAMI WENTTOLA The Use of Modelling Technology and Its Effects on the Music Industry Bachelor's thesis 43 pages, appendices 15 pages May 2017 Modelling technology has revolutionized the music production industry in a big way. It has affected everyone in the field of music production from the live side to the studio, both commercial and private. Even though modelling technology has been around in one form or another for twenty years or so, the last ten have possibly brought the great- est advancements. In this thesis, the goal was to map out some of these changes from several different points of view by interviewing four music production industry profes- sionals and researching literature. The thesis project is a full-length album that was rec- orded almost entirely with modelling technology with the purpose of educating peers and people interested in music production of the possibilities that technology can bring. The research yielded many compelling insights and points-of-view into the matter and gives a contemporary picture of a rapidly changing and growing industry. The inter- views of four established professionals in the field of music production and their differ- ing careers each give a unique perspective on the matter. They’re all transcribed and translated in the appendices and they make for very interesting reading.

  • Fan Q & a with JIM MARTIN, Formerly of FAITH NO MORE
    For Immediate Release November 13, 2012 Fan Q & A with JIM MARTIN, Formerly of FAITH NO MORE After a silence of over a decade, Jim Martin agreed to a Q&A session with fans via a British based fan site. A set of 15 questions were selected by administrators of the fan site from over 500 submissions by fans eager to hear from Jim. What follows is a Q&A session with Jim Martin, former Faith No More guitar player, songwriter, and producer, and fans of Faith No More. Some weeks ago, the FNM “fan club guy” was asking about how to contact me, he wanted to talk to me about the fan page.. After several exchanges via email, he and I decided to do a Q&A thing for the fans. My departure from FNM in 1993 was controversial; I left while the band was still at the peak of its success. I am proud of my contributions to the success and legacy of FNM. I appreciate the time and effort it took to put these questions together. Thank you for the opportunity 1. Nefertiti Malaty Q: What do you consider the highlight of your career? A: Performing with Bo Diddly, Klaus Mein, Metallica, Gary Rossington, Pepper Keenan Sean Kinney Jerry Cantrell John Popper Jason Newstead, singing Misfits songs with Metallica live during our tour with them and GNR. 2. Eric Land Q: You are an influence to many younger guitarists today, but who were your biggest influences and what do you remember about how those people helped to craft your sound and play style? A: My influences to a greater extent were Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and David Gilmore.

  • Jane Ira Bloom
    The legendary long-running yet ever-mutating ensemble M'lumbo proudly presents Celestial Mechanics The culmination of over a decade worth of live collaborations with Grammy- winning Jane Ira Bloom, winner of the 2020 Downbeat Critics Poll for soprano saxophone, this release follows hot on the heels of M'lumbo's collaboration Fairytale Aliens with Helmet leader Page Hamilton, who is also onboard the new album as special guest. This double album is a compendium of Space Age Jazz, Electronica, Rock and exotica, two and a half hours of extraordinary musicianship and a pinnacle of collective empathy and reaction. This will mark the band's second release with the marvelous Grammy- winning Ropeadope records, whose fantastic catalog and sense of community is unrivaled among contemporary record labels. M'lumbo takes the familiar and makes the earth slide. – New York Newsday It's Mickey Mouse, the Stanford University marching band, Santana and Syd Barrett rolled into one... borders on genius. – Baltimore City Paper M'lumbo makes world music for some world other than Earth. – Dirty Linen To approach a merely adequate description, try and imagine a combination of Miles Davis, Sun Ra, traditional African music, and early Bonzo Dog Band... Very exciting, filled with unbridled energy and humor. The musicianship is superb and the arrangements exceptionally creative. – Alternative Press Celestial Mechanics M’Lumbo and Bloom share a general emphasis on space with Sun Ra. In some ways, however, they can be seen as approaching the unknown from an opposite perspective. While Sun Ra was an outsider visiting earth, one senses this band is instead exploring our continued spreading of radio waves through space.
