  • An Analysis of Social Media Marketing in the Classical Music Industry
    #CLASSICAL: AN ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING IN THE CLASSICAL MUSIC INDUSTRY Ms Annabelle Angela Lan Lee Royal Holloway, University of London (2017) A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) Page 1 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 2 of 299 Declaration of Authorship I Annabelle Angela Lan Lee hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 28 April 2017 Page 3 of 299 Page intentionally left blank. Page 4 of 299 Abstract With the re-emergence of social media in the 2000s and the increased worldwide usage of mobile devices, the impact of social media still cannot be ignored. From corporate businesses to popular culture, social media are now used in many sectors of society. Not least among these is the classical music industry. Artists and organisations have keenly capitalised on social media in the face of increasing budgetary reductions in the arts and long-held elitist perceptions of classical music. In addition, the classical music business has used social media to profit from economic growth, audiences, and public profiles, and to market accessibility, relevance, and value to a wider audience, notably, younger demographics and non-attenders. As a result, the classical music scene tries to engender technological determinism and digital optimism, ideologies reflecting discourses around Web 2.0/social media. Simultaneously, a so-called ‘digital divide’ is at risk. Various factors, for example, socioeconomic strata, greatly influence how classical music is marketed and branded on social media networks, however, they are barriers to access and enjoyment of the art, online and offline.

  • The Gentleman Dancing-Master. by WILLIAM WYCHERLEY "Non Satis Est Risu Diducere Rictum Auditorus: Et Est Quædam Tamen
    The Gentleman Dancing-Master. BY WILLIAM WYCHERLEY "Non satis est risu diducere rictum Auditorus: et est quædam tamen his quoque virtus."[51]--HORAT. If we may trust the author's statement to Pope, this admirable comedy was written when Wycherley was twenty-one years of age, in the year 1661-2. It is impossible to fix with certainty the date of its first performance. The Duke's Company, then under the management of the widow of Sir William Davenant, opened its new theatre in Dorset Gardens, near Salisbury Court, on the 9th of November, 1671, with a performance of Dryden's Sir Martin Mar-all, and Wycherley's "Prologue to the City" points to the production of his play in the new theatre shortly after its opening. Genest states, on the authority of Downes, that "The Gentleman Dancing-Master was the third new play acted at this theatre, and that several of the old stock plays were acted between each of the new ones." Sir Martin Mar-all, having been three times performed, was succeeded by Etherege's Love in a Tub, which, after two representations, gave place to a new piece, Crowne's tragedy of Charles the Eighth. This was played six times in succession, and was followed, probably after an interval devoted to stock pieces, by a second novelty, an adaptation by Ravenscroft from Molière, entitled The Citizen turn'd Gentleman, or Mamamouchi, which ran for nine days together. The Gentleman Dancing-Master was then acted, probably after another short interval, and must therefore have been produced either in December, 1671, or in January, 1672.

  • Spuyten Duyvil’S Social Music Hour Vol. 1,Album Of
    Album Of The Week: Yoko & The Oh No’s The Chicago garage rock scene just got a jolt of soul and bravado. The heart of rock ‘n’ roll has always kept it cool, but it just skipped a beat with Yoko & The Oh No’s and their stellar self-titled debut. Due out on October 30 off of Los Angeles label Autumn Tone, there’s something really special about this killer trio from The Windy City. Trashy glam that struts with each track, beauty in simplicity is all over this one. Once this bad boy is released, I guarantee every DJ will be spinnin’ Yoko & The Oh No’s at their next gig. A bunch of kids who are fresh out of high school tap into a vibe rarely duplicated. Vocalist Max Goldstein really lets it all hang out with sly and sexy lyrics, and Max Loebman’s thrilling skills on guitars and Stef Roti holding it all down on drums make for some show stoppin’ tracks. For bass, well, who needs bass when you know how to rock? Few things are as refreshing as teenagers down to unleash their fury. Harnessing the power of rock ‘n’ roll gives all the old fogies hope for the future while spitting in the face of anyone who refers to the genre as dead. Let’s bring it back to life, shall we? Resurrect your music taste with my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week. You know an album is good when the first track immediately grabs you. “She Knows It” is a shout-out to all those ladies who know they got it going on and ain’t afraid to show it.

  • S Bill Bartholomew,Album of the Week
    Interview with High On Fire’s Matt Pike Photo Credit: Travis Shinn Tonight at The Met in Pawtucket, local metalheads Churchburn and New Orleans instrumental hellions Mountain Of Wizard will be opening up one hell of a show with Oakland, Calif., sludgeheads High On Fire. Before this evening’s festivities I got to have a chat with frontman Matt Pike about the reuniting of his old band Sleep; the rebirth of sludge, stoner and thrash metal bands; the genre’s credibility; performing without a shirt on and many other things. Rob Duguay: Along with being part of High On Fire, you’re the guitarist of the influential metal band Sleep. Eleven years after Sleep broke up in ’98, the band got back together and Sleep resumed performing live. Does managing your time ever get difficult when playing in both bands? Matt Pike: Oh Jesus, yeah. It’s now getting easier to deal with, but at first it was a nightmare. Playing in Sleep is only part time where being in High On Fire is a full-time thing, but it does get a little difficult when it comes to managing my time. I’ve had trouble with being at home because I’m never home. But that’s part of the business. RD: I can imagine that when Sleep got back together it must have taken you a little while to fall into a type of routine without destroying yourself. MP: It can get pretty hectic and it does take a lot out of me. RD: Lately in metal there’s been a huge boom in sludge, stoner and thrash metal bands.

  • Nine Reasons to Make You Fall in Love with House
    Nine Reasons To Make You Fall In Love With House Musik | Bittles‘ Magazine There is a strong electronic element to this month’s album review round-up. I make no apologies for this considering there are such fine releases as ›Reality Testing‹ by Lone, ›Vaudeville‹ by Inigo Kennedy and ›Code‹ by Answer Code Request in amongst an absolute bumper crop of fantastic groove-based releases. So without further ado, let’s begin. By JOHN BITTLES First up, we have the pretty damn excellent ›Reality Testing‹, the new album by unassuming media darling Lone. Previous long-players ›Galaxy Garden‹ and ›Emerald‹ ›Fantasy Tracks‹ were sublime in their mixture of, among other things ambient, house, techno and rave. ›Reality Testing‹ arrives on the nation’s shelves on the 16th of June and seduces the listener instantly with its gleeful experimentation and overt positivism while still managing to sound like no-one else but Lone. There is a noticeable Chicago house and Detroit techno vibe at work on the record that combines beautifully with his usual scattergun approach to create something very tasty indeed. ›Restless City‹ funks on all cylinders, ›Meeker Warm Energy‹ glows with a summery IDM sheen, while lead single ›Airglow Fires‹ still sounds better than anything else on God’s earth. Even my cat loves this album. And there really is no better recommendation than that! One of the very first things you notice with every single ›Comeme‹ release, is how they always sound as if the artists involved had an absolute blast creating them. So it is with the rather fabulous ›Silver Album‹, by Berlin-based Muscovite Philipp Gorbachev.
