SUMMARY:Re-Animating the Sound Archive
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two decades\, Brian Harnetty has located historical recordings that document spoken words and musical performance in archives across Appalachia and the Midwest\, including the Berea Appalachian Sound Archives (Berea\, Kentucky)\, the Little Cities of Black Diamonds Archive (Shawnee\, Ohio)\, and the Thomas Merton Collection (Louisville\, Kentucky). In this talk\, Harnetty will discuss strategies by which people in the present relate to recorded sounds that document the past. Through listening with people who live today in the communities where the recordings were made\, Harnetty has helped these communities understand and respond to their histories. In this talk he explores themes from several recording\, performance\, and installation projects that embed old audio in new contexts\, playing illustrative examples from historic and present-day audio and video recordings. These projects document histories of extraction in Appalachia\, social and environmental justice concerns\, and contemplative practices. \nThis talk will be held in conjunction with Brian Harnetty’s residency as part of the Music Humanities Community Conversations Series at Appalachian State University. The Music Humanities Community Conversation Series provides a forum for students\, faculty\, and staff at Appalachian State University and community members to engage current topics in music humanities through invited talks and workshops given by scholars\, artists\, and cultural leaders from Appalachian State and the surrounding region. \nAttendees may park in the Schaefer Lot\, Broyhill Lot\, or Peacock Lot for free from 5:00pm to the end of the event. The Broyhill Music Center is at 813 Rivers St\, Boone\, NC\, 28608. \nClick the button below to watch the livestream. \nLivestream \n

SUMMARY:“Vicariously Being There”: How The T.A.M.I. Show Invented the Concert Film
DESCRIPTION:Whether we’re watching Stop Making Sense for the 100th time\, catching The Eras Tour in a packed movie theater\, or tuning into Coachella live on YouTube\, today we take for granted that we can see live concerts recorded for screens big and small. But in the 1960s\, there was no set answer to the question of how to capture a concert on film\, or what to even do with such a product once it’s been made. \nIn 1964\, the concert film The T.A.M.I. Show gave young America a stunning answer\, showcasing on large movie screens an eclectic medley of performers including the Beach Boys\, the Rolling Stones\, the Supremes\, and an electrifying set by James Brown. The T.A.M.I. Show opened a path for more concert documentaries to be made and find their audiences\, but it was also a unique moment in American popular music history. Join Landon Palmer as he uncovers the curious story of The T.A.M.I. Show\, one that involves William Shakespeare\, strange television technologies\, and a very short-lived charity organization. In this talk\, he’ll explain how this movie came to exist and why there’s never been anything quite like it since. \nThis event will be held as part of the AMS Many Musics of America Project and the AMS/Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Lecture Series.

SUMMARY:Science into Art: Discourses of Occult Vibration in Chicago’s Musical Culture
DESCRIPTION:Join Professors Anna Gawboy and Christopher Scheer at the University of Chicago as they discuss the fascinating ways that esoteric philosophies influenced Chicago musicians. \nAmong the many varied offerings that comprised Chicago’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 were myriad scientific exhibitions\, as well as the Parliament of World Religions\, which brought together spiritual leaders representing a wide spectrum of beliefs. The Parliament included members of the Theosophical Society\, an esoteric organization which sought to reconcile the growing divide between science and religion by treating both as corrupted branches of a universal ancient wisdom. \nOne concept which transcended these divisions at the time was vibration. At the exposition\, vibration could be seen and experienced everywhere through the electric current that powered the geysers and illuminated the amusements of White City\, as well as the novel inventions on display in the Electricity Building. At the same time\, participating Theosophists advocated a conception of reality that was founded on the fundamental presence and manipulation of spiritual vibrations. In many cases\, the language used to articulate scientific and spiritual meanings for vibration was shared\, reflecting the Theosophists’ appropriation of scientific discourse and the deployment of Theosophy’s vibrational metaphysics in explanations of natural forces by scientists such as Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. \nThis vocabulary of vibration was an important element in the musical culture of Chicago in the twentieth century and provides a framework to re-enchant its history. We will explore two overlapping but contrasting case studies: 1) the salon of Djane Lavoie Herz and the ultramodern musical experiments of her student\, Ruth Crawford Seeger; and 2) the relationship of Alton Abraham’s Thmei Research group to the performances and music of Sun Ra. In both cases\, the study of Theosophical texts and their discourses of vibration motivated musical experimentation\, revealing esotericism’s potential to inspire creativity in networks of Chicago musicians\, traversing divisions of style and genre\, science and religion\, and class and race. \nThis event will be held as part of the Many Musics of America Project. \nPre-Register \n

SUMMARY:Happy Little Seahorses: Brahms’ Unwritten “Melusine” Opera
DESCRIPTION:In this AMS/Library of Congress Lecture\, Laurie McManus of Shenandoah Conservatory gives a talk on a little-known opera libretto that was given to Johannes Brahms for consideration. While Johannes Brahms excelled in many musical arenas\, he never managed to compose an opera\, despite a lingering interest and much encouragement from his friends. The most encouraging and persistent of those friends was Hermann Levi\, a Jewish conductor whose later advocacy for Richard Wagner has overshadowed his relationship with Brahms in the 1860s and early 70s. The Library of Congress holds extensive correspondence between Brahms and Levi\, including a drafted opera libretto that Levi sent to Brahms in a letter from July 1871. The libretto was a joint effort between Levi and a local mutual friend\, Anna Ettlinger\, a published author and women’s rights advocate. The libretto might be called a “hidden gem” of the Library’s Brahms collection\, given that it has never been transcribed or discussed in any substantial form in the Brahms literature—until now! \nThe event is free but tickets are required. \nTickets \n
