Careful listening can also make the ear attuned to hearing familiar sounds in a new way. For example, The Robert Minden Ensemble often uses ordinary household objects in their compositions, changing the focus of the objects’ sounds from that of ‘noise’ to ‘music.’ OBJECTIVES: (Student Outcomes) Students will be able to: • Listen to the “sounds of silence” in your classroom and write about their impressions. (Artistic Perception and Creative Expression) • Describe, discuss, analyze and connect information and experiences based on this lesson. Refer to Assessment at the end of this lesson. (Aesthetic Valuing) MATERIALS: • Paper, pencils or pens. PROGRESSION: • Ask the class to relax and put their heads on their desks with their eyes closed. Instruct them to simply listen to the sounds of the room for five minutes. Tell them to concentrate and listen carefully. Some of the sounds they might hear could include stomachs rumbling, clocks ticking, fluorescent lights buzzing, people breathing, your own heartbeat, etc. Visualize these sounds. • When the five minutes are up, ask them to write a description of the room’s ‘silence.’ Encourage them to use figurative language, incorporating simile and metaphor to convey the feeling or mood of the ‘silent’ environment. Poetry or free verse can also be used as a form for their creative writing. • Take turns reading the descriptions aloud. Discuss what noises they could detect as they listened. Is their quiet classroom actually filled with sounds? Did they hear things which generally go unnoticed? How did their descriptions of the same listening experience differ and demonstrate their individual perceptions and original points of view? 3 EXTENSIONS: • Do the same listening exercise in the same setting, but at different times of the day. Observe how the sounds change according to the different time periods. • Increase the difficulty of the exercise by adding sounds to the ‘silence,’ such as keys jingling, a ruler tapping, or the pages of a book rustling. The students must listen very carefully to recognize and remember these sounds while also concentrating on the other sounds in the room. At the end of the five minutes, ask students to compile a list of all of the sounds they heard, seeing who can catalogue the greatest number of sounds. • Choose an outdoor setting for the listening exercise such as a record store, a grocery store, a restaurant etc. How do the sounds in indoor and outdoor environments differ? How are they similar? Do sounds in nature make you feel differently from sounds which you find in commercial establishments? • Isolate another sense, such as sight. Do an exercise where one partner is blindfolded and the other partner carefully leads them through a maze to explore space and objects without the ability to see. VOCABULARY: figurative, simile, metaphor ASSESSMENT: ( Aesthetic Valuing) DESCRIBE: This is done in the ‘Progression’ under the second bullet (•). DISCUSS: This is done in the ‘Progression’ under the third bullet (•). ANALYZE: Discuss our sense of hearing and the role that sound plays in our everyday lives. Discuss what people might do to replace sound cues if they couldn’t hear. What challenges would you have if you did not have the sense of sound? CONNECT: Describe and discuss sounds that give us cues to do something, such as an alarm clock that tells us to wake up.

    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 KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

Since its 1985 opening, the Patriot Center (now EagleBank Arena) has been visited by more than 12 million patrons for more than 3,600 events that have ranged from ultimate fighting to the Harlem Globetrotters. InO 2010, Billboard magazine ranked the Patriot Center No. 8 nationwide and No. 18 worldwide among top-grossing venues with a capacity between 10,001 and 15,000. As the venue for both Disney On Ice and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the arena has been the place where many area children saw their first circus or their favorite animated movie come to life. Many have graduated from high school and college there. Adults also have fond memories of their concerts.

It ~s believed among some MUSICAL SAW players, however, that i t originated in South America in the 1800's and some believe the idea was imported into the U. S. from Europe . I well remember the fi r st time I heard it played. It wa s in Buffalo, N.Y. and played at the Ebrwood M!L6,£.c..Ha..U about 1910 when I was a boy. It has been used extensively in the ho me, on stage at private cl ubs, church fun ctions, social gatherings , hospita l s and nursing homes, in vaudevi l le and theaters for years, and more recently on Radio and Televisi on Programs in the enter­ tainmentfield. The late Cf.alte.nc..e.MM ~e.ht , of Fort Atkinson, Wi sconsin, was the first to introduce and suppl y Musical Saw Kits to the field under the name of M!L6 ~e. ht&Wutpha1.,** and did a great deal to develop the best line of SAWS suitable for this use, after considerable research. Before taking up the MUSICAL SAW and going into the detail s of there­ quired proceedure for playing it wel l , it is important to understand some of the basic rudiments and techniques involved for it's proper manipu l ation. While the MUSICAL SAW is essential l y a typi cal carpenter's or craftsman's saw, it' s use as a very unique musical instrument has gained in popu larity, and has recently become a means of expressing a very distinctive qua l ity of music.

  • Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a Seven-Year Hiatus
    Originally published in: Bacon, S. (ed.) Horror: A Companion. Oxford: Peter Lang, 2019. This version © Steve Jones 2018 Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a seven-year hiatus, ‘just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema for Halloween’ (Croot 2017), the Saw franchise returned. Critics overwhelming disapproved of franchise’s reinvigoration, and much of that dissention centred around a label that is synonymous with Saw: ‘torture porn’. Numerous critics pegged the original Saw (2004) as torture porn’s prototype (see Lidz 2009, Canberra Times 2008). Accordingly, critics such as Lee (2017) characterised Jigsaw’s release as heralding an unwelcome ‘torture porn comeback’. This chapter will investigate the legitimacy of this concern in order to determine what ‘torture porn’ is and means in the Jigsaw era. ‘Torture porn’ originates in press discourse. The term was coined by David Edelstein (2006), but its implied meanings were entrenched by its proliferation within journalistic film criticism (for a detailed discussion of the label’s development and its implied meanings, see Jones 2013). On examining the films brought together within the press discourse, it becomes apparent that ‘torture porn’ is applied to narratives made after 2003 that centralise abduction, imprisonment, and torture. These films focus on protagonists’ fear and/or pain, encoding the latter in a manner that seeks to ‘inspire trepidation, tension, or revulsion for the audience’ (Jones 2013, 8). The press discourse was not principally designed to delineate a subgenre however. Rather, it allowed critics to disparage popular horror movies. Torture porn films – according to their detractors – are comprised of violence without sufficient narrative or character development (see McCartney 2007, Slotek 2009).
