  • Stefan Firca Dissertation
    Circles and Circuses: Carnivalesque Tropes in the Late 1960s Musical and Cultural Imagination DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University by Stefan Firca , B.M., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor Arved Ashby, Advisor Professor Graeme Boone Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Stefan Firca 2011 Abstract Circus, fairground, carousel, carnival imagery is everywhere during the late 1960s: in cover art, song lyrics, band names and song titles, music criticism, names of music venues, festivals, movies, literature. From circus tents to clowns, from jugglers to magicians, from carousels to parades, an entire carnivalesque lexis seems to be at play in what is generally termed “psychedelia.” The current study attempts to read and offer “thick description” (Geertz) of this vocabulary as part of a larger cultural and countercultural imagination, and integrate musical manifestations of the period (popular psychedelia and avant-garde / experimental music) in a semiotic network of metaphoric representation. If language is nothing more than a chain of metaphors (Lakoff), it is nevertheless true that we often take such metaphors as “rock ’n’ roll circus,” “song-carousel,” “riot of sound” for granted, since they are so widespread and culturally shared that an explanation of their meaning may appear pedantic. But what do these word-images actually mean? What is the range of their connotations? What is the relationship between them? Why are they so frequent in the late 1960s? And how are these tropes translated or suggested musically? One possible answer to the last question involves the broad concept of circularity , emblematic for the psychedelic era: a round melodic motive or harmonic progression, ii a cyclic phrase articulation, a motoric-recurrent riff, a spiraling or whirling waltz in triple time.

  • KC Company Resurfaced Courts at Australian Open by BOB LUDER the Kansas City Star
    Saturday, January 26, 2008 KC company resurfaced courts at Australian Open By BOB LUDER The Kansas City Star It’s taking place at the other end of the world, where day is night and winter is summer. So it’s hard to believe that when tennis fans tune in to watch the Australian Open, they’re actually seeing a piece of Kansas City on the screen. But when you gaze upon the brand new Plexicushion- surfaced tennis courts at Melbourne Park, that’s exactly what you’re seeing. A Kansas City company, McConnell & Associates, spearheaded the project of resurfacing not only 25 courts at Melbourne Park, but also tennis courts at legendary Kooyong Stadium, former home to the Aussie Open, and courts in Adelaide, where tune-up events were staged leading up to the Open. “We were pretty proud we were chosen to install,” said Rob McConnell of his company, located in North Kansas City. “They could’ve gone anywhere, but they chose us. A McConnell & Associates employee helped “When I go home and turn on ESPN, there are the blue work on the Plexicushion surface. courts. It was a real good deal for our company.” How McConnell & Associates became the installer for tennis courts a world and hemisphere away is a story of associations that led to — now follow this — a company named after California but based in Massachusetts contacting a contractor based in the middle of the U.S. to install tennis courts Down Under. When the powers that be at the Australian Open decided to switch surfaces from the green, Australian-made Rebound Ace surface that had been used since 1988, they decided to go to Plexipave, a surface manufactured here in America by a company called California Products Corp.
