Subjetividade e paisagem sonora, motocicletas e música
The article analyzes the relation between foreground and background in heavy metal. First, it uses an analogy regarding babies, then it explains the concept of sonic anaphones and the idea of figure-ground as melody-accompaniment and finally it reaches the music genre in question. What is at play is the relationship between culture and subjectivity in the way it is expressed through sound, more specifically in relation to an archetype which becam…

Gerard Kempers (1948-2005): A Personal Statement
I first met Gerard in 1975 in Örebro (Sweden) at the Nordic Piano Teachers' annual conference and workshops. Both of us were like fish out of water in discussions about the best fingering techniques to use in Beethoven sonatas. I had been asked to talk about popular music education and Gerard was on the lookout for fresh ideas for his art college in Lelystad. 'I didn't have a clue what you were actually saying' (in Swedish), he told me, 'but it s…

Interpreting Popular Music
There is a well-developed vocabulary for discussing classical music, but when it comes to popular music, how do we analyze its effects and its meaning? David Brackett draws from the disciplines of cultural studies and music theory to demonstrate how listeners form opinions about popular songs, and how they come to attribute a rich variety of meanings to them. Exploring several genres of popular music through recordings made by Billie Holiday, Bin…

The Göteborg connection: Lessons in the History and Politics of Popular Music Education and Research
BothPopular Musicand the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM) have been in existence for almost a generation. Given the radical social and political changes affecting the general spheres of work, education and research since the establishment of those two institutions in 1981, it is perhaps time for popular music scholars to review their own historical position and to work out strategies for the brave new world of mone…

Open letter: Black music’, ‘Afro-American music’ and ‘European music
I have recently found myself reacting with some irritation on meeting such terms as 'black music', 'white music', 'Afro-American music' and 'European music'. The aim of this letter, written mainly with white European or North American students, friends and colleagues in mind, is to question the validity of these terms, to bring some issues lurking behind their general usage out into the scribal daylight and, hopefully, to provide some ideas for a…
Analysing popular music: Theory, Method and Practice
Popular music analysis-why? One of the initial problems for any new field of study is the attitude of incredulity it meets. The serious study of popular music is no exception to this rule. It is often confronted with an attitude of bemused suspicion implying that there is something weird about taking 'fun' seriously or finding 'fun' in 'serious things'. Such attitudes are of considerable interest when discussing the aims and methods of popular mu…
