  • Rock Harmony Reconsidered: Tonal, Modal and Contrapuntal Voice&
    DOI: 10.1111/musa.12085 BRAD OSBORN ROCK HARMONY RECONSIDERED:TONAL,MODAL AND CONTRAPUNTAL VOICE-LEADING SYSTEMS IN RADIOHEAD A great deal of the harmony and voice leading in the British rock group Radiohead’s recorded output between 1997 and 2011 can be heard as elaborating either traditional tonal structures or establishing pitch centricity through purely contrapuntal means.1 A theory that highlights these tonal and contrapuntal elements departs from a number of developed approaches in rock scholarship: first, theories that focus on fretboard-ergonomic melodic gestures such as axe- fall and box patterns;2 second, a proclivity towards analysing chord roots rather than melody and voice leading;3 and third, a methodology that at least tacitly conflates the ideas of hypermetric emphasis and pitch centre. Despite being initially yoked to the musical conventions of punk and grunge (and their attendant guitar-centric compositional practice), Radiohead’s 1997– 2011 corpus features few of the characteristic fretboard gestures associated with rock harmony (partly because so much of this music is composed at the keyboard) and thus demands reconsideration on its own terms. This mature period represents the fullest expression of Radiohead’s unique harmonic, formal, timbral and rhythmic idiolect,4 as well as its evolved instrumentation, centring on keyboard and electronics. The point here is not to isolate Radiohead’s harmonic practice as something fundamentally different from all rock which came before it. Rather, by depending less on rock-paradigmatic gestures such as pentatonic box patterns on the fretboard, their music invites us to consider how such practices align with existing theories of rock harmony while diverging from others.

Thesis, Georgia State University, 2009. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/communication_theses/47 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of Communication at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in Communication Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. RADIOHEAD: THE GUITAR WEILDING, DANCING, SINGING COMMODITY by SELENA LAWSON Under the Direction of Jeffery Bennett ABSTRACT In 2007, Radiohead released a downloadable album, In Rainbows, allowing consumers to pay what they thought the album was worth. The band responded to a moment of change in the music industry. Since then, other bands, like Nine Inch Nails and Coldplay, have made similar moves. Radiohead's capability to release an album and let the fans decide its worth relied on the image they built, which foregrounded their commodification. The historic move redefined the boundaries between art and commodity, a well know tension in popular music studies. The thesis focuses on popular music as communication in the changing industry. Using Radiohead’s album as a case study, it looks at the changing boundaries in the tension between art and commodity. The thesis examines Radiohead's performance, its mediation by the press, and what the album’s distribution method meant to the fans.

  • The Pleasure of the Intertext: Towards a Cognitive Poetics of Adaptation
    !1 THE PLEASURE OF THE INTERTEXT: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE POETICS OF ADAPTATION A dissertation presented by Meg Tarquinio to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2017 !2 THE PLEASURE OF THE INTERTEXT: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE POETICS OF ADAPTATION by Meg Tarquinio ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April, 2017 !3 ABSTRACT The field of adaptation studies has been diagnosed as lacking consensus around its main tenets, especially those that would build a strong ontological foundation. This study participates in the burgeoning critical approach that places cognitive science in conversation with literary theory, looking towards the start of a cognitive turn in adaptation studies. Specifically, I offer the axiom that adaptations are analogies. In other words, I advance the original argument that adaptations are the textual expression of the cognitive function of analogy. Here, I’m using a cognitive theory of analogy as the partial mapping of knowledge (objects and relations) from a source domain to a target domain. From this vantage point, I reassess the theoretical tensions and analytical practices of adaptation studies. For instance, the idea of essence is an anathema within academic studies of adaptation, yet it continues to hold sway within popular discourse. My approach allows for a productive return to essence, not as some mystical quality inherent in an original text and then indescribably transmitted to its adaptation, but as the expression of a key sub-process of analogical reasoning – what Douglas Hofstadter refers to, conveniently, as “essence” or “gist extraction.” This line of argument demonstrates the degree to which André Bazin’s 1948 theorization of adaptation is in line with this cognitive version of essence.

  • Where Murakami Ends and Radiohead Begins: a Comparative Study
    WHERE MURAKAMI ENDS AND RADIOHEAD BEGINS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY By Samuel JP Shaw Foreword: This is not an academic essay, in so far I do not wish for it to be taken too seriously. I am all too aware of the danger of comparative studies. In simply setting down the title above, I am likely to have to answer to the charge of pretension. However, I would not set about this task unless I believed that, on a basic level, there is some worth in it. And I believe there is. You can judge for yourself I must also point out that it is not my intention to try and make explicit links between my two subjects. I don’t mean to argue that they are coming from exactly the same place and not for a moment do I wish to suggest that my interpretations are the only ones there can be. You may disagree with all that I say. I have simply noted a range of similarities, which I have tentatively explored in a way which, I hope, insults neither subject and complements both. This study is not designed for the reader to leave thinking, ‘Wow! Radiohead and Murakami are just like each other!’ Quite simply, this is not the case. My aim instead is that the reader will leave thinking ‘Hey! That makes me look at Radiohead/Murakami in a different way’. 1 Where I begin: I started reading Murakami in the spring of 2002. I first heard Radiohead a long time before that, but their music had probably at this same time become a bigger feature in my life than ever before.

    December 10, 2020 For Immediate Release Jon Hopkins Releases Cover of Thom Yorke’s “Dawn Chorus” Listen HERE Photo Credit: Steve Gullick As 2020 comes to a close, Jon Hopkins releases a piano cover of “Dawn Chorus” by Thom ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Yorke with an accompanying visualizer. The track is off of Yorke’s recent album, Anima. ​ ​ ​ Recorded in one take on the upright he’s had since childhood, Hopkins’ version of “Dawn Chorus” is a beautifully melancholic reinvention of the original. “I felt such bliss the first time I heard this piece - it seemed so mysterious and hypnotic, oblique ​ but warm,” says Hopkins. “I thought there was so much beauty in that chord sequence that ​ ​ there was room to explore it on the piano and see what grew from it. One day in early April when everything was particularly quiet and surreal outside, I went into my studio for the first time in weeks and ended up recording the whole thing in one take. I left it very raw and upfront, with just some sub bass and vocal drones in the background. The whole thing was done in a day and was a very cathartic experience.” ​ Watch the Visualizer for Jon Hopkins “Dawn Chorus” (Thom Yorke Cover) Stream “Dawn Chorus” (Thom Yorke Cover) “Dawn Chorus” follows “Singing Bowl (Ascension),” which was premiered as part of a ​ ​ specially curated 24-hour long playlist for Spotify. Designed with deep meditation experiences in mind, the piece perfectly fits into Hopkins’ transcendent selections.

  • Idioteque” from the Kid a Album
    M. Musick April 2009 An Analysis of Radiohead’s “Idioteque” from the Kid A album “Idioteque” is a song that combines the dark energy of Radiohead with a steady dance beat to help send a message about the state of commercialism and the ignorance of society to the impending social “ice age.” This song appears on the second half or “B-side” of their fourth full length album, Kid A and was a major departure from the melodic guitar driven sound that made them famous on their previous album OK Computer. The Radiohead that produced Kid A, and more specifically the song “Idioteque”, had been almost torn apart by the success of OK Computer. From the depression, torment, and disgust they had with themselves, they were able to create this complex, beat-driven, electronic track that must be listened to a few times through to fully appreciate its sincerity, message, and beauty. Radiohead became popular in the 90’s for their melodic, lyric- and guitar-driven songs. Between their breakout single “Creep” off Pablo Honey and their very popular OK Computer album, they were poised to be the next ‘big’ rock band.1 However as they were forced to perform a two-year concert tour for the OK Computer album, they became sick of their songs. Because of the control placed on them by corporations, they began to detest everything that was happening to them. This caused the band to feel disenfranchised with everything that was going on in their music and lives. When it came time for them to work on a new album, they knew they had to approach it radically different or they would not survive as a band.

  • Radiohead Launches Austin City Limits New Season Season Premiere Airs October 6Th on PBS
    Radiohead Launches Austin City Limits New Season Season Premiere Airs October 6th on PBS Austin, TX—September 28, 2012—The groundbreaking PBS television series Austin City Limits (ACL), premieres its brand new season Saturday, October 6th, with a rare, full-hour performance from iconic British band Radiohead. The episode marks Radiohead's long-awaited and unforgettable debut appearance, taking to the ACL stage for the first time. Viewers can tune-in to their local PBS station for the season premiere; check local listings for times. “Hi, we're Radiohead, we're pleased to meet you,” says the band's Thom Yorke by way of a greeting in their ACL debut. Taped in Austin before a concert audience at ACL's new home, The Moody Theater, the premiere features an epic hour of music from one of the world's most acclaimed bands. Drawing largely from their last three albums, The King of Limbs, In Rainbows and Hail to the Thief, and also touching on classics from Kid A and OK Computer as well as the odd obscure B-side and rare and unreleased tracks, Radiohead blazes through some of their most daring material in a masterful eleven-song performance. As the single most celebrated and influential alternative rock act of the past two decades, Radiohead’s musical legacy is undisputed. The band’s ACL set is a prime example of how its progressive sound and experimental structures have come to define them as masters of innovation in modern rock music, and nowhere is this more evident than in their peerless live show.
