Pop Music Production Manufactured Pop and BoyBands of the 1990s

Pop Music Production Manufactured Pop and BoyBands of the 1990s

Pop Music Production delves into academic depths around the culture the business the songwriting and most importantly the pop music production process. Phil Harding balances autobiographical discussion of events and relationships with academic analysis to offer poignant points on the value of pure popular music particularly in relation to BoyBands and how creative pop production and songwriting teams function. Included here are practical resources such as recording studio equipment lists producer business deal examples and a 12-step mixing technique where Harding expands upon previously released material to explain how ‘Stay Another Day’ by East 17 changed his approach to mixing forever. However it is important to note that Harding almost downplays his involvement in his career. At no point is he center stage; he humbly discusses his position within the greater scheme of events. Pop Music Production offers cutting-edge analysis of a genre rarely afforded academic attention. This book is aimed at lecturers and students in the subject fields of Music Production Audio Engineering Music Technology Popular Songwriting Studies and Popular Music Culture. It is suitable for all levels of study from FE students through to PhD researchers. Pop Music Production is also designed as a follow-up to Harding’s first book PWL from the Factory Floor (2010 Cherry Red Books) a memoir of his time working with 1980s pop production and songwriting powerhouse Stock Aitken Waterman at PWL Studios. | Pop Music Production Manufactured Pop and BoyBands of the 1990s

Art Into Pop

Art Into Pop

This book first published in 1987 tells the intriguing and culturally complex story of the art school influence on postwar British popular music. Following Romantic attitudes from life class to recording studio it focuses on two key moments – the early 1960s when art students like John Lennon and Eric Clapton begin to play their own versions of American rock and blues and inflected youth music with Bohemian dreams and the late 1970s when punk musicians emerged from design courses and fashion departments to disrupt what were by then art-rock routines. Sixties rock Bohemians and seventies pop Situationists were in their different ways trying to solve the art students’ perennial problem – how to make a living from their art. Art Into Pop shows how this problem has been shaped by the history of British art education from its nineteenth-century origins to current arguments about ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ training. In their simultaneous pursuit of authenticity and artifice art school musicians exemplify the postmodern condition the collapse of any distinction between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture the confusions of personal and commercial creativity. And so high pop theorists rub shoulders here with low pop practitioners experimental musicians debate avant-garde ideas with corporate packagers and artistic integrity becomes a matter of making oneself up.

American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

Pop art was essential to the Americanization of global art in the 1960s yet it engendered resistance and adaptation abroad in equal measure especially in Paris. From the end of the Algerian War of Independence and the opening of Ileana Sonnabend’s gallery for American Pop art in Paris in 1962 to the silkscreen poster workshops of May ’68 this book examines critical adaptations of Pop motifs and pictorial devices across French painting graphic design cinema and protest aesthetics. Liam Considine argues that the transatlantic dispersion of Pop art gave rise to a new politics of the image that challenged Americanization and prefigured the critiques and contradictions of May ’68. | American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

Queerness in Pop Music Aesthetics Gender Norms and Temporality

Queerness in Pop Music Aesthetics Gender Norms and Temporality

This book investigates the phenomenon of queering in popular music and video interpreting the music of numerous pop artists styles and idioms. The focus falls on artists such as Lady Gaga Madonna Boy George Diana Ross Rufus Wainwright David Bowie Azealia Banks Zebra Katz Freddie Mercury the Pet Shop Boys George Michael and many others. Hawkins builds his concept of queerness upon existing theories of opacity and temporality which involves a creative interdisciplinary approach to musical interpretation. He advocates a model of analysis that involves both temporal-specific listening and biographic-oriented viewing. Music analysis is woven into this illuminating aspects of parody nostalgia camp naivety masquerade irony and mimesis in pop music. One of the principal aims is to uncover the subversive strategies of pop artists through a wide range of audiovisual texts that situate the debates on gender and sexuality within an aesthetic context that is highly stylized and ritualized. Queerness in Pop Music also addresses the playfulness of much pop music offering insights into how discourses of resistance are mediated through pleasure. Given that pop artists songwriters producers directors choreographers and engineers all contribute to the final composite of the pop recording it is argued that the staging of any pop act is a collective project. The implications of this are addressed through structures of gender ethnicity nationality class and sexuality. Ultimately Hawkins contends that queerness is a performative force that connotes futurity and utopian promise. | Queerness in Pop Music Aesthetics Gender Norms and Temporality

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

Art and Merchandise in Keith Haring’s Pop Shop

Art and Merchandise in Keith Haring’s Pop Shop

As one of the first academic monographs on Keith Haring this book uses the Pop Shop a previously overlooked enterprise and artist merchandising as tools to reconsider the significance and legacy of Haring’s career as a whole. Haring developed an alternative approach to both the marketing and the social efficacy of art: he controlled the sales and distribution of his merchandise while also promulgating his belief in accessibility and community activism. He proved that mass-produced objects can be used strategically to form a community and create social change. Furthermore looking beyond the 1980s into the 1990s and 2000s Haring and his shop prefigured artists’ emerging self-aware involvement with the mass media and the art world’s growing dependence on marketing and commercialism. The book will be of interest to scholars or students studying art history consumer culture cultural studies media studies or market studies as well as anyone with a curiosity about Haring and his work the 1980s art scene in New York the East Village street art art activism and art merchandising. | Art and Merchandise in Keith Haring’s Pop Shop

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Movable books are an innovative area of children’s publishing. Commonly equated with spectacular pop-ups movable books have a little-known history as interactive narrative media. Since they are hybrid artifacts consisting of words images and movable components they cross the borders between story toy and game. Interactive Books is a historical and comparative study of early movable books in relation to the children who engage with them. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh focuses on the period movable books became connected with children from the mid-17th to the early-19th centuries. In particular she examines turn-up books paper doll books and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play set) produced between 1650 and 1830. Despite being popular in their own time these artifacts are little known today. This study draws attention to a gap in our knowledge of children’s print culture by showing how these artifacts are important in their own right. Reid-Walsh combines archival research with children’s literature studies book history and juvenilia studies. By examining commercially produced and homemade examples she explores the interrelations among children interactive media and historical participatory culture. By drawing on both Enlightenment thinkers and contemporary digital media theorists Interactive Books enables us to think critically about children’s media texts paper and digital past and present. | Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

K-pop – The International Rise of the Korean Music Industry

K-pop described by Time Magazine in 2012 as South Korea’s greatest export has rapidly achieved a large worldwide audience of devoted fans largely through distribution over the Internet. This book examines the phenomenon and discusses the reasons for its success. It considers the national and transnational conditions that have played a role in K-pop’s ascendancy and explores how they relate to post-colonial modernisation post-Cold War politics in East Asia connections with the Korean diaspora and the state-initiated campaign to accumulate soft power. As it is particularly concerned with fandom and cultural agency it analyses fan practices discourses and underlying psychologies within their local habitus as well as in expanding topographies of online networks. Overall the book addresses the question of how far Asian culture can be global in a truly meaningful way and how popular culture from a marginal nation has become a global phenomenon. | K-pop – The International Rise of the Korean Music Industry

Sociolinguistics of the Korean Wave Hallyu and Soft Power

Sociolinguistics of the Korean Wave Hallyu and Soft Power

Samosir and Wee examine how the immensely popular Korean Wave (K-wave) also known as Hallyu is wielded as soft power through the use of communication for persuasion and attraction on the global stage. The Korean Wave refers to the global spread and popularity of South Korean culture particularly its pop music (K-pop) serialised dramas (K-dramas) and films (K-films). Given the South Korean government’s involvement in providing funding and publicity the Korean Wave raises interesting sociolinguistic questions about the relationship between artistry and citizenship the use of social media in facilitating the consumption of cultural products and ultimately the nature of soft power itself. Studies of soft power have tended to come from the field of international relations. This book shows that sociolinguistics actually has a number of tools in its conceptual arsenal – such as indexicality stance taking affect and styling – that can shed light on the Korean Wave as a form of soft power. As the first book-length sociolinguistic analysis of the Korean Wave and soft power this book demonstrates how K-pop K-dramas and K-films have been able to encourage in consumers an anthropological stance towards all things Korean. This volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in sociolinguistics political science cultural studies and Korean studies.

Gender Branding and the Modern Music Industry combines interview data with music industry professionals with theoretical frameworks from sociology mass communication and marketing to explain and explore the gender differences female artists experience. This book provides a rare lens on the rigid packaging process that transforms female artists of various genres into female pop stars. Stars—and the industry power brokers who make their fortunes—have learned to prioritize sexual attractiveness over talent as they fight a crowded field for movie deals magazine covers and fashion lines let alone record deals. This focus on the female pop star’s body as her core asset has resigned many women to being short term brands positioned to earn as much money as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. This book which includes interview data from music industry insiders explores the sociological forces that drive women into these tired representations and the ramifications for the greater social world. | Gender Branding and the Modern Music Industry The Social Construction of Female Popular Music Stars

The Music of George Harrison

The Music of George Harrison

George Harrison was one of the most prolific popular music composers of the late 20th century. During his tenure with the Beatles he caught the wave of 1960s pop culture and began channeling its pervasive influence through his music. Often described as The Invisible Singer his solo recordings reveal him to be an elusive yet essential element in the Beatles’ sound. The discussion of George Harrison’s Beatle tracks featured in the text employs a Songscape approach that blends accessible music analysis with an exploration of the virtual space created on the sound recording. This approach is then used to explore Harrison’s extensive catalog of solo works which due to their varied cultural sources seem increasingly like early examples of Global Pop. In that sense the music of George Harrison may ultimately be viewed as an important locus for pan-cultural influence in the 20th century making this book essential reading for those interested in the history of songwriting and recording as well as the cultural study of popular music.

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music
