Larisa Mann deposited Savage intimacy, deviant safety: surveillance technology and club culture in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 4 years, 6 months agoDance music is a medium and social practice that has in some cases functioned as a site of refuge for people and communities whom mainstream society marks “deviant” or “uncivilized.

Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 4 years, 6 months ago(First paragraph): “Any DJ could tell you that you don’t know what music really means until you see it in people’s bodies.

Brad Osborn deposited Resistance Gazes in Recent Music Videos in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group (SMT PMIG) on Humanities Commons 4 years, 8 months agoA number of recent music videos by women subvert the male gaze (Mulvey) through a number of techniques I construe as “resistance gazes.” These videos subvert the hypersexualization, infantilization, objectification, and victimi- zation regularly seen in music videos using imagery that resonates with broader cultural movements such as #metoo and #timesup.

Jake Johnson deposited Post-Secular Musicals in a Post-Truth World in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoIn this chapter, I make two interconnected observations. I first consider how musicals inhabit and promote a ‘post-truth’ worldview similar to those reflected in current populist resurgences throughout the West. I argue that it is musical theater’s penchant for the unreal that in recent decades has given it traction within both secular,…[Read more]

Brian Robison started the topic Lavengood's "novelty layer" in experimental pop/rock? in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi!
I’m currently applying Megan Lavengood’s concept of the “novelty layer” in pop texture (see her 2020 MTO article) to King Crimson’s 1973 album Larks’ Tongues in Aspic.
Is anyone else out there doing work along these lines with selections from progressive rock? art rock? experimental pop? etc.?
Many thanks,
Brian

Brian Robison replied to the topic Contour Segments in Pop? in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoI take it you’re looking for examples less than a decade old?
Both SZA’s “Broken clocks” (2017) and Azealia Banks’s “Anna Wintour” (2018) include melodic sequences that are constructed from pentatonic scales … so, the generic melodic intervals don’t necessarily match, but the csegs do.

Olivia Louvel deposited ‘The Sculptor Speaks’: resounding the archival voice of Barbara Hepworth. in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoThe project ‘The Sculptor Speaks’ takes its source from a 1961 tape by British sculptor Barbara Hepworth.

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Christine, I just thought I’d mention that it’s not obvious which “way” the numbers are supposed to be ranked.

Laurence Dresner started the topic Joan of Arc Music in the discussion
Music on Humanities Commons 5 years agoI’m a classically trained composer considering writing a chamber piece about Joan of Arc. I’m looking for information regarding (folk) songs she would have probably been familiar with during the early part of her life – before she began her quest. Any information, links, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
