    1 C L I N T E T T I N G E R AN ALPHABET OF REINVENTION by Clint Ettinger 1. A - E is for Exchange 2. F - K is for Kimmy 3. L - T is for Trio 4. U - Z is for Zap ONE A) The Oxford American Dictionary defines ‘reinventing oneself’ as taking up a radically new job or way of life. The Macmillan Dictionary defines it as changing the way you behave or the things you do so that people think of you as a different kind of person. Quite a difference. B) So, must we really change? Or should we just wear a veneer of change so that others perceive us as having changed? C) is for Change or Die Writer and entrepreneur John Mashni firmly believes there are only three types of reinvention 1. Reactive Reinvention - when an external event occurs and forces you to change. 2. Proactive Reinvention - when you intentionally change to capitalize on an opportunity. 3. Reflective Reinvention - when you fail at something but still have a strong desire to continue in that particular endeavor. D) “Make reinvention your lifestyle, and you’ll stay young at heart no matter your chronological age. Keep on reinventing yourself, and death becomes nothing more significant than the period at the end of this sentence.”1 E) is for Exchange Last week during my second-year writing class, I asked everyone what they thought about the topic ‘reinventing oneself.’ “These two words bring both happiness and fear,” Apple said. “It’s more complex than that.

Conclusion: Voice and Persona Beijing-based rocker X.T.X.’s song GRANDFATHER 爺爺 (2008) starts with an upbeat and rousing intro on a heavily distorted guitar. When the drums and bass lapse, X.T.X. sings a wordless melodic phrase of Peking Opera. Although the delivery is not nasal, the orna- ments are instantly recognizable: “Aha-a-a a-ahaha . ” The tempo slows down, and X.T.X.’s subsequent high “Ahh” marks the first note of the second measure, when bass, drums and distorted guitars re-enter, adding grandeur to the restrained, vibrato vocal sus- tain. The second phrase is just like the first, but now the second measure starts with a pause and then a tormented scream, after which the band enters in double time. Next to the face, the voice is a defining aspect of personal identities, and even more of the persona of a singer. Etymologically, the Latin-derived word ‘persona’ is related to theatrical masks, prosopon πρόσωπον in Greek, through which (per) voices resound (sonare). I will use the concept of the voice to revisit some of my arguments, reflect on this study and suggest directions for further research.

Chapter 2: Genre and Classification §1 Chinese Popular Music My working definition of popular music hinges on its relation to the mass media, and on considering its emergence and transformations in tandem with the masses (urbanization, adolescence, yuppies) and the media (phonograph, radio, MTV, MP3, MySpace). This working definition will remain undeveloped, because I have chosen not to focus on dis- tinguishing popular music from other musics, but on subdivisions within popular music. However, this still involves addressing popular music’s appellation of the mass, the popu- lar and the People.1 I will discuss music and artists that I tentatively group under the labels sinified rock, fringe pop, and new folk. However, I hypothesize that rather than around genres Chinese popular is structured around the four organizational principles language-geogra- phy-ethnicity, generation, gender, and marketability. Is rock subversive, pop hegemonic, and folk conservative, and are these the right questions? Territories in Hyperspace
