    This year, our Marching Band got the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee where we encountered the different musical culture they had. We attended The Grand Ole Opry, a concert where many talented country musicians performed live in a giant hall. It was a fascinating experience when we learned about the musician’s lives through their music and what they consider everyday aspect of their lives that we don’t have farther up north. One of the band members got the opportunity to participate in a dance off onstage during one of the breaks, something the whole band celebrated in camaraderie. A museum with all things country music, “Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum” held all kinds of pieces from various dresses and instruments of musicians from…

    The beginning of sound recording was an extranomical feet, shaking the ground of modern technology at the time, but now it has developed so rapidly to support our need of human connection that you might be surprised how similar we are to those who first invented it. The process of refining and marketing the phonograph from the texts “The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph” and “The Incredible Talking Machine” by Randall Stross is similar to the development of the Audio Spotlight in Mark Fischetti’s “Psst…. Hey You.” Competitors that battle to be top dog in the dog park, profits that could make a man rich for life, and brains needed to make it possible are all things both modern and older sound businessmen had to deal with. In most any way of living, competitors can be the most dangerous to your job and have been around the sound business since it started.…

    Musicians have the ability to evoke emotion, to bring strangers together through a common love of expression, to mold the opinions of youth, and even to start a movement. From Beethoven to the Beatles, artists and musical groups have had a measurable impact on society and the evolution of music, although not always immediately revered. Since 1993 when Lorin Ashton first began making electronic music as the main producer for the group Bassnectar, fans knew that he was creating something special and not easily definable. Just like the Beatles changed the way we think of rock and roll, Lorin continues to be one of the most influential players in shaping how electronic music is defined and viewed…

    Question 1 When first looking at the title and subtitle for Ray Bradbury's book, Fahrenheit 451, as well as the illustration that is depicted on the cover of my hardcopy, I thought that this book would feature higher-than-normal temperatures, fires, and burning as story elements. The title reads like a fancy way of saying four-hundred-fifty-one degrees Fahrenheit, and when combined with the fiery subtitle, which details more specifically that this is “the degree at which paper catches fire and burns,” the pairing alludes to paper-burning being a central component in the novel. I believe that Bradbury chose this title not only to spark the interest and curiosity of the avid reader, but also to give a subtle innuendo that some sort of authoritative…
