Banging around the web I came upon this, but I have no access to the full-text. Anyone currently getting an education have access to proquest dissertations and theses database feel like some light reading?

Title: Listening to repetitive music: Reich, Feldman, Andriessen, Autechre

It is probably a bit I know but it does sound quite interesting to me.

I had a search, but only found a handful of recently published books/journals on electronic music, with only a slight nod toward Autechre. Other than that all I could find were reviews.

First person research at Princeton? What? I'm sure the N=1 statistics are flawless. Narrative listening versus meditative listening does seem to make sense though.

music academia really needs to pull its head out of its ass and get into the 20th century

lol it doesn't 'need' to do anything except turn up for work once in a while and look like it knows what its doing

it's funny that someone with so much education and likely student loans would spend their education writing about repetitive music. I could have done that in high school (poorly i should add)

correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Autechre not really well respected in high-brow music circles? Shouldn't we be listening to Morton Feldman or Luc Ferrari or something?

Aye, that line made me raise an eyebrow as well.. especially coming out of Princeton

Well, I had a read, at least of the Ae bits. Seemed to make sense to me, I have no official music education, let alone at University level. Kind of interesting.

I'm not gonna hate on the quality or point of the paper tho, see above. It is a little odd that it is all based on personal experience (for a phd) but he probably covers his bases, I'm guessing there are theories of listening and what have you in regards to this sort of thing and it slots into some framework...

I guess you can whine about this guys choice of education, but it sounds more fun than accounting or marketing etc to me. Hope he isn't unemployed and on watmm.

Sorry to be such a noob, food, but you got a copy? How'd you get a full copy? I'd like a full copy.

providing member, praise for that man.

Hi All,

Apologies for being late to the party. I've used this article in the class I've been teaching on Autechre this year, I've found it to be quite helpful. Here's a link to a PDF in case anyone's still interested: http://mypage.iu.edu/~johgibso/files/gibson_listening.pdf

How's that class going for you?

It's going quite well -- we're nearing the end of the term so they're all doing final papers/projects, but it's been a really fun class to teach.

Oh wow, I wish I had seen this thread earlier. John Gibson taught a music class I was in this semester. Cool guy.
