Sound and performance
Address these 3 assignments separately: 1. What does sound (volume, timbre, attack, etc.) add to the lyrics, and vice versa, in these songs? (any three of the following songs: New York Dolls, “Personality Crisis,” Black Flag, “White Minority,” Bad Brains, “I Against I,” Fugazi, “Suggestion,” Bikini Kill, “Rah! Rah! Replica,” Against Me!, “Transgender Dysphoria Blues) [ 300 words] 2. You should analyze (2 LINES SAPARTLY) how sound and word come together in Dylan’s “Visions of Johanna.” Taking Hampton’s comments ( I attached the file) as a spring board, you will make your own argument about the lyrics. 3. Langston Hughes’s poem “The Weary Blues” and his musical performance of the same poem gives us a unique opportunity to compare sound and print. WRITE comments (2 LINES SAPARTLY) that connect the reading of the poem to the sound of the performance.
