Citation: Silva, L. G. (2026), ‘Screen Music Authentication and the Popular Music Classroom: Teaching and Research”, 2026 Popular Music Methodologies Conference, 19 June. London: Middlesex University London.

Paper Abstract: As part of my ongoing research into music composition for screen media, I have explored how a framework of authentication can shift perspectives for the practice of screen music composition and screen musicology. At the same time, through the practice of teaching this in a module called Critical Perspectives, I have gained insight into how this mindset shift can change creative and research practices within screen musicology. In this paper, I explore the insights that emerged from my teaching practice and that have enriched my research and practice as a screen music composer. I also explore the implications and applications, practical and otherwise, of drawing on that never-ending cycle between teaching and research, and how this may benefit the students, the scholar, and the larger academic context, particularly in the field of screen musicology focused on film, television, and videogame music.

Panel Abstract (Joint panel proposal with Dr. Tim Hughes and Dr. James Johnson): In this panel we will discuss the importance of teaching in the development of popular music methodologies. Scholars argue that teaching can both inform and be informed by research (Tight, 2016): teaching invites students to challenge new ideas, exposing the limitations of data and arguments and prompting avenues for new research (Cote, Barnett and Williams, 2003). Each paper will be based on the teaching experiences of an individual researcher working on a co-taught popular music themed module at the University of West London entitled Critical Perspectives. Each presenter will discuss a particular research approach developed while teaching part of the module.

Модели почти год, а она всё ещё №1 по цене/качеству. Прогнал свежий батл-тест — и опять не сдвинул

Я собрал четыре модели в один батч — две Gemma, DeepSeek V4 Flash и Qwen3-235B — потому что не поверил кросс-сессионным данным: выходило, что маленькая Gemma обошла большую. В честной очной ставке сюрприз развеялся, обе Gemma оказались вровень. Зато всплыло другое. DeepSeek V4 Flash, который у меня числился на 83, выдал 89 — был недооценён на 6 баллов. А Qwen3-235B-A22B-2507 — модель, вышедшая 21 июля 2025 года, — снова взяла первое место по цене/качеству. Почти год прошёл: Gemini прыгнул с 57 до 97, DeepSeek я перетестировал трижды, MiniMax все хвалят как ровню Opus. А этот июльский чекпойнт просто держит трон, и я уже почти обижаюсь за прогресс. В статье: разбор очной ставки, хронология ретестов одной модели за год, новый критерий — скорость генерации, ещё восемь моделей июня, непопулярное мнение про раскрутку MiniMax и две новые колонки на лидерборде.

Модели почти год, а она всё ещё №1 по цене/качеству. Прогнал свежий батл-тест — и опять не сдвинул

Собрал четыре модели в один батч — одна сессия, один судья, те же пять тем. Сравнивать баллы из разных тестов нельзя: разница в пару баллов между сессиями — это шум, а не сигнал....

"It's a cold winter morning ..." This is a kitsch opening and has nothing to do with #ethnography. Why do non-anthropologists so often think that something becomes 'ethnography' if you start a new paragraph by writing about the weather? #peerreview #methodology

为了在回国前把所有东西都做完这样回国后我可以好好放假,今天在努力追进度。写方法论是爽的,基本上追到本周二的进度了,但是写到现在大脑像打散的蛋黄一样涣散……

#methodology

You can't defend against that. Irrational. The correct course which has not been taken is to solve for all. Anytime a problem is solved for all that includes the problem solver by default. This is the correct #methodology at a high level. And it leads to the #simplest #solutions. Always better.

Programming Methodology Framework aka PMF

This document describes the Programming Methodology Framework, also known as the PMF methodology. The methodology is based on the manifesto written by Zed A. Shaw [PROGRAMMING-MF-MANIFESTO], which describes a natural approach to software engineering with a strong focus on the act of programming. The PMF methodology uses a neutral name to provide a non-partisan reference for official engineering or project documents describing one of the most widely used software engineering methodologies.

Lenin’s Spiral philosophical approach

The methodology follows the metaphor of a spiral, where political practice, group reflecion, and collective synthesis help develop political consciousness and subjectivity within popular movements — nurturing ever-greater numbers of people capable of leading the struggle.

Together, the cycles form part of a dialectical whole and reflect a process of continuous development. Each cycle contains and deepens elements of the cycle that preceded it — the properties of the lower cycles reappear again and again at higher levels with greater complexity. Sometimes, the higher cycles negate the lower ones, reflecting qualitative changes in consciousness. This feeds back into the movement and produces a continuous deepening of the political line and strategy.
