MUS 328 UOFA The Beatles and Lady Gaga Musical Style Research Presentation 1. Research a contemporary artist (or band) who was influenced by the Beatles and present your findings in a 14-15 slide Powerpoint* presentation. Your artist must be someone whose career took off sometime between 1970 and the present day. 2. Your main objective is to identify how the artist(s) is musically influenced by the Beatles (i.e., musical style, instrumentation, vocal style, performance techniques, studio production, etc.) You may choose to look more generally at the artist’s repertoire, but you must focus in depth on 1-2 songs from your artist that exemplify how they were influenced by the Beatles and include audio and/or video links as well as a written explanation in your presentation in order to elucidate your argument. If you are only analyzing one song, you may not analyze a cover of a Beatles song. If you choose to analyze a song that samples a Beatles song, please analyze the relationship between the Beatles song and its new context within the song it is sampled. For example: How does the sample of the Beatles contribute to the new song—in terms of mood, or rhythm, or style, etc.? What was the message of the Beatles’ song? How has this message changed (if at all) in the context of the new song? Why do you think the song’s producer(s) selected that particular sample? 3. You are also encouraged to address how the Beatles influenced the artist’s socio-political outlook, marketing strategies, fashion, relationship with the music industry, and engagement with the audience and the press, etc. 4.
