DESCRIPTION:The Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n\nDoctoral Colloquium:
  Jeremy Tatar\, PhD candidate in Music Theory\, 91������\n\nTitle
 : Hip-Hop Sampling as Analytic Act\n\nAbstract: Sampling is\, by now\, a u
 biquitous feature of our contemporary musical landscape. Of all the songs 
 to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 throughout 2022\, for example\, nearly o
 ne in five sampled other music in some way. Drawing on concepts establishe
 d in the field of performance analysis\, this paper explores the potential
  for sample-based beats in hip hop to function as a form of musical analys
 is. I argue that\, just as with other analytic acts\, sample-based beats a
 re a) products of skilled\, close listening informed by expert knowledge\;
  and b) commentaries with the potential to shape how a body of music is he
 ard and interpreted. In many respects\, producers face methodological\, ae
 sthetic\, expressive questions not unlike those encountered by performers\
 , who\, as Edward T. Cone (1968\, 34) wrote\, must always make “a choice: 
 which of the relationships implicit in this piece are to be emphasized\, t
 o be made explicit?”\n\nFocusing particularly on issues of meter and phras
 ing\, my analyses consider issues such as: How do producers interpret a me
 trically ambiguous or multi-valent source? How do they recontextualize mat
 erial from one meter into another? And\, most importantly\, how might atte
 nding to these choices inform—and transform—our interpretations of these s
 ource materials? Through close readings of songs by Usher (“Lil’ Freak\,” 
 2010)\, Slum Village (“Raise it Up\,” 2000)\, and Nas (“I Can\,” 2002)\, I
  demonstrate how sampling creates a living archive that documents the list
 ening practices of an expert musical community.\n\nBio: Jeremy Tatar is a 
 PhD candidate in Music Theory at 91������\, where he is supervise
 d by Jon Wild and Nicole Biamonte. Originally from Sydney\, Australia\, Je
 remy’s current research focuses on meter\, form\, and phrase in sample-bas
 ed hip hop. His work has been published in Music Theory Online and the Jou
 rnal of Music Theory.\n
