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.

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.

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. I assumed #1 was top priority and #4 was lowest but someone else may have interpreted this differently! You may wish to reply here to clarify or include that note in the instructions themselves.
