Thanks to my parents for always supporting me in all of my academic endeavors. ! ! v! ! 1! I. Introduction A 2012 South by Southwest panel of music supervisors and advertising executives called television commercials “the new radio.” These professionals were not the first to assert the title: The music industry has been praising licensing as a promotions channel since the early 2000s. With pre-recorded music taking the lead in building impactful brand experiences in television commercials, synchronization licenses for television commercials are being lauded as the cure to the high barriers to entry in today’s corporate radio environment. The music industry’s problem, according to Donaton (2005), is not in its product: People are still consuming music through downloads, legal or otherwise. The issue, for Donaton, is promotion. Artists cannot take the traditional path from commercial radio to explosive popularity. Corporate radio stations stick to the well-researched playlists they are prescribed. MTV, much more of a lifestyle network than music outlet, no longer acts as a channel for artists. Music videos are only played on its second-tier channels. Donaton (2005) explains that the music industry never had the appropriate marketing budgets for artists to begin with—they depended on radio to promote the songs for free. Without radio, they struggle to make the same impact. Licensing works for the music industry because it is a symbiotic relationship: Marketers want quality music to develop the brand identity reflected in commercials, and musicians want the licensing fees and promotion. Licensing has become commonplace even for well-established artists, including those who are not particularly “commercial” bands. In 2007, Wilco licensed six songs from “Sky Blue Sky,” and They Might Be Giants inked a $1 million deal to write songs for Dunkin Donuts. Of ! 2! Montreal has licensed its tunes to T-Mobile, Subway, Outback Steakhouse and Nasdaq (Goodman and Magnuson, 2008). Beyond established acts, licensing is an established method to taking unknown songs to new audiences (DuBois 2012). From Moby’s early-2000s success licensing his entire album and jumping from electronic niche to mainstream, to fun.’s big break in a 2012 Chevrolet Super Bowl ad (Zemler, 2012), certain cases suggest that commercials do serve as an increasingly important communication channel to new audiences. “The benefit to artists today is often explained as a salve against the hard times being experienced by artists, both in terms of commercial radio lock-outs and the perceived threat of the twin evils of dubious consequence, piracy and downloading” (Klein, 2009, pg. 89). With the positive views of licensing radiating from the trade press, artists are being told to follow this new channel to broader audiences and skyrocketing record sales. The current discussion, however, does not fully explore the necessary strategy before or after the synchronization. Case studies on successful licensing examples tend to stop with the sales reports following the synchronization: We have not fully explained the relationship between the brand of the band and the brand in the advertisement, nor particular strategies that may maximize the possible benefits from synchronization. As some scholars have begun to caution artists against the blind faith in music licensing as an industry panacea, the process deserves a closer look. In my project, I plan to take a post-modern approach to analyzing the licensing tactics that are becoming commonplace in up-and-coming acts’ plans for mainstream success. ! 3! II. Literature Review The Relationship Between Music and Television Advertising Music is a commodity (Klein, 2005), and as such, it has a complex relationship with brands and entities outside of its industry. Klein is one of the prominent voices in music synchronization from the perspective

  • A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of Music in Audiovisual
    Treball de fi de màster de Recerca The Power of Music: A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of Music in Audiovisual Advertising Stefano Cara Màster: Estudis del Discurs: Comunicació, Societat i Aprenentatge Edició: 2016-2017 Directors: Dr. Xavier Ruiz Collantes Dr. Manel Palencia-Lefler Any de defensa: 2017 Col⋅lecció: Treballs de fi de màster Programa oficial de postgrau "Comunicació lingüística i mediació multilingüe" Departament de Traducció i Ciències del Llenguatge Stefano Cara Abstract This investigation draws from Multimodal Critical Discourse Studies and aims to analyze the social meanings communicated by musical discourse in audiovisual advertising with different types of target. The corpus we collected and studied is composed of ten YouTube advertisements of fashion brands’ masculine and feminine perfumes launched during last year. A multidisciplinary qualitative approach was applied to study the interaction between visuals and soundtracks in the construction of a multimodal persuasive narrative. After examining and correlating the semiotics of images and music, we compared the data gathered between the male and the female subcorpus. Results show that the tendency in advertisements for men is to use instrumental music with relevant expressive features, while music in female commercials tends to contain lyrics and to bear symbolic meanings. We argue that such differentiation might reveal the need for cultural endorsement through musical discourse in women’s fashion products advertising. Keywords: Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis, Social Semiotics, Musical Discourse, Audiovisual Advertising, Fashion Products Resumen Esta investigación se basa en los Estudios críticos del discurso multimodal y pretende analizar los significados sociales comunicados por el discurso musical en la publicidad audiovisual con diferentes tipos de público objetivo.

These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses.

  • Copeland Bio 2014
    Copeland - IXORA Aaron Marsh Bryan Laurenson Jonathan Bucklew Stephen Laurenson Copeland has reunited to release their sixth album after calling it quits in 2009. Here’s what you need to know: • Copeland formed in Lakeland, Florida in 2001. The band’s first album, Beneath Medicine Tree, came out in 2003 on indie label The Militia Group. The album’s layered melodies, combined with Marsh’s thoughtful, emotive croon, immediately engaged music fans, offering a nuanced take on the emo music of the early ‘00s. The group unveiled four subsequent albums between 2005 and 2008, including Eat, Sleep, Repeat on Columbia Records in 2006. Copeland signed with Tooth & Nail in 2008 and have partnered with the label to release their long awaited sixth album, Ixora. • In their heyday, the band played over 200 shows a year. They’ve toured with Brand New, Sparta, Goo Goo Dolls, The Rentals, Bob Mould, Switchfoot, Motion City Soundtrack and Guster. Copeland has also historically supported new artists and Paramore’s first ever show was opening for Copeland in Nashville in 2004. • Copeland officially broke up in October of 2009 after nine years as a band. They wrote on their website, “We have come to an extremely difficult decision. It has come time for us to move on from Copeland and follow other paths in our lives. To put your minds at ease, we assure you this is not a bitter break up. We all individually feel Copeland has run its course in our lives and it’s time for us to pursue what is next.” The band members added, “It has been discussed and we are not ruling out the possibility of recording one more album sometime in the future.” • The band members have pursued other musical endeavors over the past few years.

  • Can You Predict a Hit?
    CAN YOU PREDICT A HIT? FINDING POTENTIAL HIT SONGS THROUGH LAST.FM PREDICTORS BACHELOR THESIS MARVIN SMIT (0720798) DEPARTMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RADBOUD UNIVERSITEIT NIJMEGEN SUPERVISORS: DR. L.G. VUURPIJL DR. F. GROOTJEN Abstract In the field of Music Information Retrieval, studies on Hit Song Science are becoming more and more popular. The concept of predicting whether a song has the potential to become a hit song is an interesting challenge. This paper describes my research on how hit song predictors can be utilized to predict hit songs. Three subject groups of predictors were gathered from the Last.fm service, based on a selection of past hit songs from the record charts. By gathering new data from these predictors and using a term frequency-inversed document frequency algorithm on their listened tracks, I was able to determine which songs had the potential to become a hit song. The results showed that the predictors have a better sense on listening to potential hit songs in comparison to their corresponding control groups.
