'No Passport Necessary' : Music, Record Covers And Vicarious Tourism In Post-War Hawai'i, John Connell, Christopher Gibson
'No Passport Necessary' : Music, Record Covers And Vicarious Tourism In Post-War Hawai'i, John Connell, Christopher Gibson
Chris Gibson
This paper analyses the relationship between the marketing and consumption of popular music and the historical representation of one tourist destination and its peoples. It focuses on how Hawai‘i was represented when it became an American state, mass tourism was emerging and graphic record covers were new. It traces the manner in which Hawai‘i was commodified and represented for vicarious consumption, and how particular musical objects created and reflected structures of tourism.

Place And Music: Performing "The Region" On The New South Wales Far North Coast, Christopher R. Gibson
Place And Music: Performing "The Region" On The New South Wales Far North Coast, Christopher R. Gibson
Chris Gibson
This paper draws on research conducted for over a decade on the musical cultures of the New South Wales Far North Coast, as a contribution to debates in geography and popular music studies on the links between music, place and articulations of cultural identities. Patterns of migration and economic restructuring over the last 20 years have transformed the Far North Coast region, with associated changes in the images conjured to describe the region – from those centred on dairying, fishing and sugar harvesting to those of a ‘lifestyle’ or ‘alternative’ region, with growth in employment in tourism, recreational services, ‘gourmet’ …
Ambient Australia: Music, Meditation And Tourist Places, Christopher Gibson, John Connell
Ambient Australia: Music, Meditation And Tourist Places, Christopher Gibson, John Connell
Chris Gibson
This chapter examines how music informs the creation of tourist places in Australia. It discusses one genre-ambient music-and the way it is related to geography both symbolically (in terms of cultural representations), and literally (in terms of links to musical and touristic activities in particular towns). The rise of ambient music has contributed to the imaginative representation of a touristic Australia of "natural" physical and cultural landscapes, where indigenous people are particularly significant. Designed to encourage relaxation and even sleep, in its cover art, its sounds and lyrics (where they exist), ambient music has emphasized "special" places both generic and …
Semantic Priming Of Familiar Songs, Sarah K. Johnson, Andrea R. Halpern
Semantic Priming Of Familiar Songs, Sarah K. Johnson, Andrea R. Halpern
Andrea Halpern
We explored the functional organization of semantic memory for music by comparing priming across familiar songs both within modalities (Experiment 1, tune to tune; Experiment 3, category label to lyrics) and across modalities (Experiment 2, category label to tune; Experiment 4, tune to lyrics). Participants judged whether or not the target tune or lyrics were real (akin to lexical decision tasks). We found significant priming, analogous to linguistic associative-priming effects, in reaction times for related primes as compared to unrelated primes, but primarily for within-modality comparisons. Reaction times to tunes (e.g., "Silent Night") were faster following related tunes ("Deck the …
Precedent Or Preference? Music Recommender Systems And The Challenge Of Genre, Jason Neal
Precedent Or Preference? Music Recommender Systems And The Challenge Of Genre, Jason Neal
Jason R. Neal
With the advent of user-generated content and the capabilities of current information and communication technologies, indexing and retrieval tools for music should facilitate discovery that transcends genre boundaries. Nonetheless, they still privilege genre as the primary mode of categorization. Even recommender systems, which utilize other measures to determine similarity, give the appearance of drawing upon genre. By examining the ambiguous boundaries and definitions of genres, the contexts in which indexing and retrieval tools for music have developed, and the roles played by music at individual and societal levels, this paper considers alternative traits that could act as indicators of “similarity.”
