M Selim Yavuz deposited Symbolism and Text Painting in Tan Dun’s Marco Polo in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoRecent opera repertoire has seen a wide variety of styles in opera composition. Marco Polo represents a rather unique corner of this wide variety. Tan Dun explores a capacious array of influences in this work. Starting from his own roots, Chinese traditional music, he explores European art tradition to some extent. Tan Dun also touches the styles…[Read more]

M Selim Yavuz deposited Gloomy Divergence: Death/Doom Metal as Dark Leisure in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoDeath doom metal or death/doom emerges as a distinct style in early 1990s mostly focused in northern England. This style or, tentatively, sub-genre of doom may be argued to be a leisure space for participants in this culture. Dark leisure theory attempts to describe non-mainstream leisure activity, and even though it started in criminological and…[Read more]

M Selim Yavuz deposited ‘Death – Pierce Me’: A case study considering a Freudian repetition-compulsion view in depressive suicidal black metal in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoIn the post-modern era, the domination of repetition in aesthetics allows for deeper meaning to be conveyed with limited musical material. The repetition, within Sigmund Freud’s interpretation in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), becomes a ‘repetition-compulsion’ that resonates beyond the aural recurrences. Obsession inherent in depre…[Read more]

M Selim Yavuz deposited ‘Gateways of Bereavement’: a defence of sub-categorisation in metal music in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoDoom (metal) has been seen as the ‘slower’ -in more than one sense- sibling in metal music in general. The slowness can be argued to be true for some cases within doom and this slowness, prominently in musical terms but alongside other angles, can be the defining factor of a portion of doom music. For example, while funeral doom may be argued to…[Read more]

M Selim Yavuz deposited ‘Golden Hatred’: anti-war sentiment and transgression in death doom metal in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoDoom metal music and culture have been under the influence of 1970s hippie ideologies from the beginning with the music of Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi in an interview from 2011 suggests that Black Sabbath has been using the label ‘doom’ since its early days. While during early stages of doom music, this influence or interaction took both tra…[Read more]

M Selim Yavuz deposited ‘Humörets Bottenvåning’: Suicide in depressive suicidal black metal music in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoMelancholy, death, and the darker thought spectrum should not be considered separate from black metal at any point through its history. In contrast however, depressive suicidal black metal (DSBM) took these themes further in terms of their crudity, and more importantly it fixated on the ideas of death and suicide. The birth pangs of this style are…[Read more]

M Selim Yavuz deposited Dead is dead: Perspectives on the Meaning of Death in Depressive Suicidal Black Metal Music through Musical Representations in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoDeath plays an important role in human life, and there have been many theories about how this inevitability affects human thought, and social life. According to anthropological studies, death and death-related phenomena, including rituals, music, the meaning of death, are based on the originating cultures. This makes depressive suicidal black…[Read more]
