Synthesizers: An exploration into the iconicity of marketplace icons
As the preeminent musical invention of the twentieth century, the synthesizer has become a ubiquitous device that not only informs the soundscapes of our lives, but one that also shapes what we consider to be music.

The irrepressible and uncontrollable urge: Sex, Experience, and Consumption
In the face of innumerable marketing articles that provide safe, sanitized, and staid interpretations of sex, this research attempts, in the words of one notorious rock band, to put the X back in sex by exploring its naughty role in consumption.

Tone quest: Exploring the (Ir)resolvable Paradoxes and Infinite (Im)possibilities of "Epic Tone" in (Rock 'N' Roll) Musical Consumption Constellations
One of the driving forces for consumer-musicians in the market of rock ‘n’ roll musical creation is the quest for “epic tone” (i.e. production of a distinct and unique sound).

The purpose of this paper is to explore how the marke…

Utilizing deconstruction as a critical strategy, this paper interrogates the concept of meaning in the CCT literature and contends that…
