Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group (SMT PMIG) on Humanities Commons 6 years, 2 months agoHi all, I have made a few changes to reflect what we discussed in our meeting. I have also attempted to resolve the quorum issue we were struggling with. Quorum will only really matter for voting. Based on a suggestion from another interest group, I have added language that states that voting will remain open until 5% of the membership (based on…[Read more]

Megan Lavengood deposited What Makes It Sound ’80s? in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 3 months agoPopular music of the 1980s is remembered today as having a “sound” that is somehow unified and generalizable. The ’80s sound is tied to the electric piano preset of the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. Not only was this preset (E. PIANO 1) astonishingly prevalent—heard in up to 61% of #1 hits on the pop, country, and R&B Billboard charts in 1986—bu…[Read more]

Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThanks to both of you for getting this important conversation started. It would certainly be worthwhile to explicitly discuss what our purpose is at the next meeting, and update both our mission statement and purpose statement, and I’ll add that to the agenda along with these suggestions.

Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoGood points here. The “purpose” was basically copy-pasted from our “mission statement” on the SMT website. We could make something pedagogy-oriented a fourth element in the article. Perhaps: “(4) to model and advocate for popular repertoire in music theory pedagogy”?

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThank you for your thoughts, Mitch!
1a—I’m fine with putting that in this draft. I don’t see any reason why people would oppose it being more inclusive. I think we should discuss that (along with the 3-year terms) at the meeting explicitly, though.
