Talking Heads, Fear Of Music, And The "Different Thinking" Of David Byrne, John Bruni
Talking Heads, Fear Of Music, And The "Different Thinking" Of David Byrne, John Bruni
Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture
This article proposes that the 2006 post on the website of David Byrne, the vocalist/guitarist of Talking Heads, announcing his self-diagnosis as an autistic person, invites a reappraisal of the band’s discography, especially Fear of Music (1979), which foregrounds his lyrical approach. Fear of Music, I suggest, relies on “autistic misdirections” that illustrate Byrne’s “different thinking” about his body, mind, communicative (in)ability, and relationship to physical spaces – all prominent and productive areas of exploration within critical autism studies.
“Different thinking” is taken from the 2020 memoir of Chris Frantz, the drummer of Talking Heads, in describing, retroactively, how …
Exploring Jam Sessions In New York, Ricardo Pinheiro
Exploring Jam Sessions In New York, Ricardo Pinheiro
The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
This paper addresses the relationship between jazz jam sessions in Manhattan, and the concepts of Scene, Ritual and Race. These issues emerged during research that, from an ethnomusicological perspective, focused on the role of jam sessions in Manhattan as a privileged context for the following:
i) learning performative styles of jazz,
ii) developing the creative process,
iii) constructing professional networks,
iv) establishing of the status of musicians.
Studying and analysing the jam sessions at five jazz performance venues in New York, I demonstrate the vital importance of participating in jam sessions by examining their relationship with this performative occasion (Pinheiro …
Restructuring Hierarchy Within And Between Jazz And Classical Orchestras, Emiliano Sampaio
Restructuring Hierarchy Within And Between Jazz And Classical Orchestras, Emiliano Sampaio
The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
From 2017 to 2021, Emiliano Sampaio dedicated his time and energy to the development of a jazz symphonic orchestra artistic research project. To put this complex and intricate journey in words, he wrote this article, which guides the reader through the development of the four-year work. It describes, discusses and reflects on some paths I experienced through the research, and how they contributed and transformed my views on the subject and on his music. The backbone of this article will be the discussion of the practical process conducted with different large ensembles, where hypotheses and ideas were put into practice.

The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
The Research Catalogue is an online, open-access research platform, developed for documenting artistic research outcomes. Provided by the Society for Artistic Research, it offers more than just the traditional formats such as PDFs. The RC offers researchers in the arts to expose artistic practice as research, by creating online presentations that can include video, audio and other media and building an “exposition” out of these elements. A growing number of academies, conservatories, and universities in Europe require their master students to publish their artistic research in the Research Catalogue.
Five Tips For (Re)Entering The Professional World After The Pandemic, Wojtek Justyna
Five Tips For (Re)Entering The Professional World After The Pandemic, Wojtek Justyna
The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
Building and sustaining a career, as a performing jazz artist, has always been a path filled with challenges and roadblocks of many sorts. The current climate has definitely made the hill we have to climb steeper. Nevertheless, understanding the oppositions at hand, adequately preparing for them, combined with careful planning and structured execution will lead to the ability to comfortably navigate this new reality.
Applied Groove Research, Toni Bechtold, Rafael Jerjen, Olivier Senn
Applied Groove Research, Toni Bechtold, Rafael Jerjen, Olivier Senn
The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
This paper is the first step to bridge this gap by asking whether groove research can help us teach groove to students, and, if so, how it can best be taught. Simultaneously, the paper serves as an introduction to groove research for those unfamiliar with this academic discourse.
Teaching Jazz History Out Of Order, Josiah Boornazian
Teaching Jazz History Out Of Order, Josiah Boornazian
The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
Abstract: Jazz history unfolded chronologically, but chronology does not necessarily imply teleology or causality. In other words, the fact that certain jazz styles came after others does not unquestionably mean that jazz history followed a fixed course dictated by the perceived inevitability of artistic “progress.” Although it is important for jazz history students to have a foundational understanding of jazz history in a chronological fashion, presenting history on a straightforward, simplistic timeline defined by distinct style periods is not the only way to teach the music of the past. There may be significant merit in reorganizing the way jazz history …

Introduction To The Iasj Journal Of Applied Jazz Research, Wouter Turkenburg, Kurt Ellenberger
The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz Research
Jazz research started as a duplicate of classical music research. As became clear during the Ongoing Dialogues during the annual IASJ Jazz Meetings that started in 1990, jazz research needs a dimension and a dynamic of its own. This has become 'applied jazz research', the kind of research that is directly linked to jazz performance and jazz education. The IASJ Journal of Applied Jazz research offers the platform.
Athenian Choral Institutions And Plato's Ideal Polis, Emma Beachy
Athenian Choral Institutions And Plato's Ideal Polis, Emma Beachy
Grand Valley Journal of History
This paper discusses the role of choral institutions in Plato’s ideal polis. In the fourth century BC, choral competitions were a key site of political discourse in Athens, exposing the conflicts inherent to the use of aristocratic patronage in a democratic system. As the demos embraced new musical practices, aristocrats critiqued these changes as a proxy for their opposition to democracy itself. Plato, operating firmly within the aristocratic tradition, placed choral education at the center of his ideal polis as a means to restore and cultivate aristocratic power. However, he also sought to use choral music as a means to …
Autism-As-Machine Metaphors In Film And Television Sound, Erin Felepchuk
Autism-As-Machine Metaphors In Film And Television Sound, Erin Felepchuk
Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture
Around the turn of the millennium, there was an outpouring of autistic representation in literature, film, and television. These resulted in a multitude of new cultural texts that reinforced damaging metaphors about autism that had previously emerged in medical discourse. In film and television, autistic people are portrayed through a variety of metaphors: as impenetrable fortress, missing puzzle pieces, confusing aliens, and as malfunctioning robots or supercomputers. In this paper, I examine the role of film and television sound in reinforcing the metaphor of autistic people as “unfeeling machines.” The unfeeling machine metaphor is personified through sound tracks that deploy …
"Erase Me": Gary Numan's 1978-80 Recordings, John Bruni
"Erase Me": Gary Numan's 1978-80 Recordings, John Bruni
Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture
This article considers the music of Gary Numan as a test case for questioning the traditional idea of individual artistic genius. Although Numan was diagnosed as autistic later in life, he claims that he exhibited signs of autistic behavior at the age of 14, which suggests that his music can reflect a different way of perceiving the world that is characteristic of autistic people. While arguing against the notion that autism distinctly influences art, the article considers the limitations of evaluating Numan’s work in the context of a humanist aesthetic that posits universal assumptions, based on an individual self, about …
