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

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.

Keith Salley started the topic Contour Segments in Pop? in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi everyone, hope you’re doing well.
I realize it may be too busy right now to expect replies, but I’ll try:
Does anyone know of any good examples from pop for teaching contour segments (csegs)? I’m teaching a kind of generalized hybridized ‘music after 1900’ course that combines pop, jazz, and Western art music (Wam). Wanted to try this topic,…[Read more]
