Rhythm Meaning in Electronic Dance Music
Pálková, Tereza ; Švantner, Martin (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
This Masters thesis is an attempt to analyse the significance of rhythm in electronic dance music. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether rhythm can create meaning within electronic dance music, and to analyse its effect on the structure of the genre. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part we will define the theories of music semiotics with regard to the structuralist approach and the traditional approach of CH. S. Peirce. We will describe the ways rhythm can operate and define what the term electronic dance music means. In the second part we will analyze rhythmic structures of individual sub-genres by comparing and contrasting basic elements of the rhythmic pattern.
