Music & Media: A Senior Recital & Honors Project, Kayla Luteran

Honors Projects

Music & Media: A Senior Recital & Honors Project is a cross-media marketing strategy. The main purpose of this project was to develop visually appealing, informative graphic elements and branding to effectively promote a musical performance. This is interdisciplinary in nature and includes written and oral communication.

While many music students post about their senior recital on social media or place flyers, they do not develop a thorough methodology for generating buzz about their event. Although musical preparation is of utmost importance for a performance, I believe that time should be spent on all aspects of planning the recital. With …

The Preservation of the Colonial Spanish Horse and

Robert E. Brislawn, Sr.

In 1493, the Spanish horse importation to the Caribbean islands provided an important stimulus to American exploration as an agent of transportation. In the late nineteenth century, the necessity of horses declined with the advent of railroads and motorized vehicles. Reduction of Native American populations through wars, disease, and forfeiture of territory also contributed to less reliance on horses. Born in 1890, Robert E. Brislawn, Sr., a dedicated horseman, decided to collect and preserve the best Spanish-type horses that he could locate as links to western heritage. From …

Watching The Throne: The American Reception Of Jay-Z & Kanye, Ted Lin-Cereghino

Backstage Pass

The purpose of this research study was to figure out what reasons cause two of Hip Hop’s biggest artists to be received so differently. Jay-Z and Kanye West are both two very successful African American music businessmen that participate in similar endeavors. Both have dabbled in clothing and shoes, while each has started their respective record labels. A significant factor in their reception was their social upbringing. In order to further assess what contributes to each artist’s popularity, or lack thereof, responses from the American media and the African American community are analyzed.

Charly Bliss - Guppy, Jordan Gibbs

Backstage Pass

Guppy is a new power pop album by the band Charly Bliss. It's fast-paced and stylized with the punchy, angsty feelings of youth culture led by a quirky yet charismatic female vocal lead that sets a perfect scene for the music's direction. While not an overwhelming or anthemic record, the album's title Guppy serves it well as the beginnings of a small band with a bright future.
