About this exposition

Research on the Implementation of Spoken Word Media on String Instruments or How to Play Hip Hop on a Fiddle A Research Abstract by Zachary Hamilton This research explores how spoken word media, namely hip hop, slam poetry, and musical comedy, can be effectively implemented on string instruments. The exposition is divided into four sections. The first section explores the background for the research, including my existing interest in the topic and covers I had already made. This section includes interviews with established figures in the hip hop/string instrument space. The second section explores various artists’ existing work in this area. It begins with a broad overview of the existing canon and history of hip hop on string instruments, and continues with an in-depth analysis of three artists in this space. This section uses defined criteria such as rhythm, pitch, timbre, and others, to analyze various attempts at recreating spoken word music on string instruments. Section three is an examination of my attempts at recreating spoken word media on string instruments. It begins with a brief overview of my previous covers, and continues with an in-depth analysis, using the criteria as defined in section two, of my covers “Kanye Rant” by Bo Burnham, as well as Biggie Smalls’ “Big Poppa”. The research concludes with an evaluation of whether or not my covers were successful and why. This section then expands outward to provide a rough guide for how to create spoken word media on string instruments effectively. The exposition concludes with a brief exploration of how one could successfully create original compositions in such genres on string instruments.
