just be able to use musician's music without their consent. There are two reasons why I don't support this idea. One reason is because Internet services that stream music are taking the place of buying the music which decreases the sales of CDs, records, and cassettes which have been sold over the years. Another reason why I don't support this idea is because any loss in album sales can be offset by touring and selling merchandise, but with rising costs and other factors this isn't enough so…
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…
Ever since I was little, I would sing and look up music. I would rush home every day after school so that I could practice. My entire life I would strive to become more musically talented. Now that I am older, because of technology, I am interested in Social Media, and how music these days is related to music. Music is my passion. Any chance that I get to learn more about music, I often take. The topic that I have chosen to write about is, how the music industry is affected by the internet and…
recording business basically, records began to be sold all around and a competition grew. The competition was the type of records to be sold. The size of records, the hole in the middle, how many times and how fast it spun, and how many songs were on each record was determined through different companies. This competition made it hard for people who wanted to buy multiple records though. Some disks were the perfect size for jukeboxes, while others were good only for record players. Soon this…
1. I think the major musical film is no longer a money maker for Hollywood because it is not unique anymore. Viewers would find it repetitive or too common to make over and over again. Some scenes would especially be repetitive that would lost the interest of some viewers. Some challenges would be making it unique that allows it to stand out from other musicals. If it is the same story or similar ideas, it may be unsuccessful. Additionally, the actors need to be flwexible if they are in a…
Musicians should be able to advertise because it helps their career in the long run. Musicians need to be heard in order to get a lot of fans, but what if they do not know how to get the word out? That's when they can rely on advertising to show the world there music. The musicians would also become more recognized and famous. People also enjoy this because they would be able to listen to all of these new songs for free, and expand there music choice. Plus, the world gets to hear the music.…
easy as using the computer mouse to drag the note to the correct pitch. This increases productivity, as the audio does not have to be re-recorded until the artist hits every note, allowing him or her to record more songs while in the studio. If the artist is starting out, he or she also is able to record demos and ideas right in the comfort of their living room due to the affordability of the softwares like ProTools, and Logic. GarageBand is also extremely powerful, and comes included with the…
There was no space for punk in conventional culture. Punk was a brand new and unique concept that rebelled against the norm. No one could label it using mainstream terms. Punk could not represent itself using media terms without drastically compromising its own meaning and ways. The main principle behind punk is to be able to create an individual culture and not consume the one that is given…
When comparing and contrasting the All My Life for Sale and Ebay websites, both have interesting ways in capturing potential buyers interest. When giving a description of Miles Davis record Bitches Brew, All My Life used subjective descriptions to sway buyers to purchase the record. This was entertaining to read however vague about the facts of the album. He simply rambled on about a documentary on jazz history and how jazz purists’ state “Miles Davis is a sell out”. For someone who is…
sounds/genres, and a more dynamic art form. The cons of this new technique, however, could be the fears that crossover music will become the only genre – eliminating authentic solo performances, the time frame in which two artists could meet up and record may take longer, and people who dislike one genre may totally stop listening to a genre they like because of the…
