    It is evident that the era of rock and roll greats such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin are fading. However, the passionate fans these legends created are still hungry for fist pumping guitar solos and rhythm driving bass drums. This desire for rock in roll in the twenty-first century is being adopted by the most popular radio music format in the United States: the country music industry (Kelly & Hunt 2016). In the words of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, “Country is the new rock ‘n’ roll. There’s no (radio) format (for rock); no one is playing it” (Ruggieri 2016).…

    Discussed the relations between sound and image in horror films. • “Music in a horror film, …participates crucially in the creation of the film’s meaning, and so close attention to the score with both the eye and the ear will generate readings of the film that do not emerge when considering only the visual and cinematographic.” (Lerner, 2010) • “I argued …that films could not be adequately understood without consideration of the relations between sound and images. ”(Johnson, 1989) • “…Although we may not be allowed to witness the penetration of the knife itself, we can hear it.

    Music and society have a large impact on each other, and how they shape the way people view and act in the world. There are four themes that identify and characterize how music has evolved over the past one hundred years. These themes also show how music affects and expresses the culture that not only we live in today, but also how we have changed in our views on numerous aspects of today’s society. The four themes that are explored directly with a specific artist and, or, band are how they impact society, politics, and several cultural issues that have stood the test of time and the way race, class, and gender are expressed in music. The development of the music industry and the technology used in it are widely affected by the change in music over decades, but also by outstanding individuals during their careers, which span over a variable amount of time.…

    I believe the style-period that most closely characterizes Yngwie Malsteen’s music is the classical period because it gives a single instrument a chance to shine, but at the same time has elements of the romantic and baroque periods. I consider Yngwie Malsteen’s piece to be concert music. Malsteen piece is very clever, he definitely thinks outside of the box, so when compared to other composer like Purcell, Bach, or Beethoven, he seems to have the same kind of creativity that make them all stand out in their own unique ways. This excerpt is a concerto form of music since as I understand it, a concerto is a piece of music made especially for a solo instrument to play along with an orchestra. So, in this excerpt the guitar is the solo instrument…

    After reading the textbook, the modules, and listening to the blues, there is definitely a different sound to each artist, time period and type of blues. I enjoyed all the selections for their unique characteristics and respect for the music and its artists, however there were some types that I preferred. Of the blues selections provided in the modules Keb Mo’s blues song “Am I Wrong” was by far my favorite. I believe that I prefered this blues songs over the others was for its upbeat feeling and repetition of rhythm. I also really liked the song of the artist's voice as it felt very original.…

    I feel that Robert Ashley has the strongest relationship to sound because of his history with music and art. Ashley “combined his formal education in music composition at the university of Michigan and The Manhattan School of Music, with studies in cultural speech patterns to eventually realize his definitive and pioneering text based, operatic works.” His dedication to music and his outstanding history of constantly making accomplishments such as The Morning Thing, Music With Roots in the Ether, and Perfect Lives leaves him to be one of the best multimedia artists. Music With Roots in the Ether was a documentary video series in which production took 14 hours, consisting of seven composers. The end result was two two-hour episodes which “consisted…

    From the origin of the American musical, a variety of creative teams have developed many methods to popularize now memorable shows. These methods were considered integral in the formula for developing the musical and were later deemed “conventional”. Composers and lyricists throughout the years eventually adapted these conventions and have created some of the most successful shows that are still relevant to this day, including Sweeney Todd and Les Misérables. Some of those inspirational trend-setters include: George Cohen, Cole Porter, and the creative duos: Alan Jay Learner and Frederick Loewe; Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Many of their shows became very popular due to the fact that they followed the conventional musical formula.…

    The music of the '20s gives off much more meaningful expression from its artists who provide lyrics and also revolves more around non-lyric instrumental style, while nowadays the majority of music that is mainstreamed into society still has some expression but it is merely created by degenerates. Thus what form of expression the music may hold, simply contains nothing but ridiculous outbursts of stupidity and vulgarity. There are still some artists in present day who make decent content, however they are not as well known or simply forgotten due to the trend of the generation. There are also quite a bit of artists in present day who are instrumental. While not always utilizing traditional instruments, they create melodies with a wide variety…

    Hearing the truth often hurts but it is one of the greatest ways to grow. By closing himself off to critics, to the general public, and to performers, it is not allowing contemporary music to progress. However, Babbitt wants the contemporary music field to expand and move forward, but his actions hinder any progress to be made. It is difficult for critics and the normal listener to judge Babbitt’s music for what it is. His music is based off of science and algorithms rather than an artistic approach.…

    The readings I completed this week really got me thinking about the transformations of music over the years. I have gained a lot more knowledge about the ethics of music and how technology has opened doors for artists and how it has affected the music world for both listeners and the artists themselves. For my response journal this week, I would like to discuss two important areas from the chapters of the book, ‘Capturing Sound’ by Mark Katz that I found really intriguing. One area would be about digital sampling and how it has allowed music to be expressed and presented in multiple ways. The second area would be about file sharing and the way technology has shaped how people to discover and experience music nowadays.…
