Marshall Stuart Heiser DipMus (Inst), BPopMus (Hons) Queensland Conservatorium Arts, Education and Law Group Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2014 ! ii Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore how adopting a playful approach to contemporary popular music making influences creative flow within that context. In order to achieve this aim three component factors derived from the intersection of the scholarly humour, creativity, and play literature––frame of mind, flow, and playfulness (PF)––have informed a single unifying theme I call the “playful frame of mind.” Contemporary popular music makers live in an era where an over-abundance of affordable technological aids (along with the distribution capabilities of the internet) have created a glut of creative possibilities, and along with it an ever-present risk of cognitive dissonance caused by their “noise.” Such technology brings creative options to all and sundry once reserved for a few rock star elite signed to multinational record companies. It is now possible for every part of the popular music-making process to be performed, or enhanced, within a software context. Nonetheless, popular musicians today still operate according to paradigms largely informed by epoch-changing, post-War recording artists such as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. The technology used for doing so may have progressed, but the basic rules (and roles) of the game have remained the same. The limitations of the past, which though they may have engendered boredom moreso than frustration, nonetheless provided a default framework that facilitated creative flow. With such few choices available, one felt relatively less self-conscious and better able to focus on playing with what was available. This research project was inspired by a personal need to find theoretical frameworks appropriate to the challenge of facilitating creative flow in a popular music context in the age of the “democratisation of technology” (Leyshon, 2009) and Digital Audio Workstation. That is, without forcing myself into ruts or formulaic “cookie-cutter” approaches. Encouraged by an observation that many innovative post-War recording artists and producers were consistently drawing upon and expressing aspects of humour and playfulness in their work, I thought an exploration of playful humour’s relationship to creativity might lead towards the framework(s) I was in need of. I subsequently undertook a 12-month review of the scholarly humour, creativity, and play literature with the aim of identifying key components that might inform a rigorous theoretical unpacking of playful humour’s implications for popular ! iii music creative practice. A componential approach was necessary since several key scholars assert that basket terms such as humour, creativity, and play are too unwieldy to be useful. It became evident that the temporal structure of personal consciousness, as studied from the theoretical perspective of structural phenomenology (Apter, 1991, 1982) presents an effective means towards that end with a primary, unifying theme emerging, which I call the “playful frame of mind.” The playful frame of mind has been linked by several researcher/theorists to instances of improved creativity (for e.g., Amabile, 1996; Lieberman, 1977; Martin, 2007, amongst many others). This research project is necessary since the topics of playfulness, frame of mind and their influence upon creativity have not yet been rigorously applied to a popular music making context. This is despite the fact that considerable research/theory linking the former concepts already exists within the combined scholarly humour, creativity, and play literature. Even creativity itself has received very little attention in the scholarly popular music/record production literature. What has emerged recently has been forthcoming from the relatively newer discipline of record production. In order to collect data regarding post-War popular music creative practice with which to contextualise the findings of the above literature review, a historical survey spanning a variety of media, and relying on secondary sources has been deemed preferable to a first-hand, grass- roots ethnographic study. The reason for this preference is threefold: (a) by choosing well- known artists and projects, the reader can more easily focus on the role that the playful frame of mind plays therein, rather than being distracted by the noise of the study itself and its unfamiliar components. (b) It allows scenarios to be explored where it has already been established that the playful frame of mind has had (both positive and negative) influence upon creative flow. The question then clearly becomes “how” does the playful frame of mind influence creative practice instead of “does it?” (c) An ethnohistorical approach also allows for examples of differing granularity and timeframes to be explored. As a result of considering the thesis research findings a number of implications for popular music-making theory are unavoidable and timely. Several seemingly benign categorisations and terms currently in common usage need to be critically re-examined in order to bring benefit to practitioners. Many such terms and groupings are in fact loaded with tacit assumptions about how and why music is made, along with its function in society today. In order to reveal and ! iv challenge some of these assumptions and erroneous descriptors, the following theoretical innovations are presented in the concluding chapter of this thesis: (a) new terms suchs as creative flow, artefacts of play, and playframes, (b) a method of categorising contemporary music in terms of one’s level and nature of interaction with music at any given time, and (c) a new popular- music creative context I call “in the palm.” The findings of this thesis can be applied to either individuals or groups. This is necessary since popular music making and, more specifically, record production today may involve only one person, or many. The necessary roles remain however. It is possible for the benefits of a structural-phenomenological approach to facilitating creativity to be extended to groups, as may the concept of frame of mind. ! v Statement of Originality This work has not previously been submitted for a degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the thesis itself.

  • Brian Wilson's Spacious Estate in West Suburban St
    May 24, 1998---- The backyard of Brian Wilson's spacious estate in west suburban St. Charles overlooks a calm pond. A playground set stands near the water. Wilson slowly walks out of the basement studio in the home he shares with wife Melinda and daughters Daria, 2, and Delanie, 6 months old. Wilson squints into the midday sun. He looks at a playground slide. Then he looks at a swing set. Wilson elects to sit down on the saddle swing. In a life of storied ups and downs, Wilson's career is on the upswing. The June release of ``Imagination'' (Giant Records) is a return to 1966's ``Pet Sounds'' in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, with its the ambitious patterns of tympanies and snare drums. But equally important are Wilson's vocals, which are the smoothest and most soulful since 1970's ``Sunflower.'' Wilson, 55, has suddenly defied age. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend are brittle rock 'n' roll barnacles. Ray Davies and Paul McCartney have matured gracefully. Yet here's Wilson singing with effervescent hope on ``Dream Angel,'' which he co-wrote with his co-producer Joe Thomas and Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame. The song was inspired by Wilson's new daughters. They make him happy. He says that is why he is writing happy music. On ``Dream Angel,'' Wilson even returned to the tight, late '50s harmonies of the Dell Vikings (``Come Go With Me'') and the Four Freshmen - happy-go-lucky voices that influenced the Beach Boys when they were young.

Smile was originally planned as the follow-up to the band's 1966 classic Pet Sounds, but the material was mostly abandoned due to creative mastermind Brian Wilson's fragile mental health at the time. Though no release date has been set, the official release of Smile will be sold as a two-CD set and as a deluxe box set including four CDs, two vinyl LPs, two vinyl singles and a 60-page hardbound book penned by Beach Boys historian Dominic Priore. The final track listing has not been announced, but disc one of the CD set and the first three sides of the vinyl edition will contain a close approximation of the Smile album, with the remainder collecting outtakes and alternate versions from the sessions. The Smile sessions have been widely bootlegged among fans for decades, but the proper track listing for the album has never been established, largely due to the fact that the record was never completed as intended. According to engineer Mark Linett, Brian Wilson's 2004 version of Smile has been used as the template for this project, though it could turn out a bit different depending on input from Wilson and the surviving members of the group.

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice
    wouldn’t it be nice by lewis shiner hat if? It’s not just science fiction and fantasy that asks this w question, it’s all of fiction. What if a young student murdered his landlady to prove his moral superiority? What if a woman survived the Civil War and three marriages only to find true love too late? It’s also the question by which we transform ourselves. What if I quit my job and moved to the desert? What if I turned myself loose to create “a teenage symphony to God?” The Icarus who attempted that teenage symphony in 1966 is now 53. For Brian Wilson it’s been thirty years of struggle: with drugs and diet, with people who want to run his life for him, with the intensity of his own feelings. The good news is that Wilson’s life is finally his own again. He is newly married to a woman named Melinda, who is calm and sweet and loving with him. He has a new house in the safety of a gated community high above the city. And he is back in the public eye with two new albums and a movie on the Disney channel. The film is I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times, directed by producer-of-the- moment Don Was. The soundtrack is a kind of Best of Brian Wilson, live in the studio with crack session players like Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Waddy Wachtel. This is not only a wonderful album in its own right, it represents a healing of other wounds.
