Bass clarinet

insouciant bass drives. Without wasting time, Scott whips up playful phrases packed with hot patterns, having supportive sax-bass fills in the flank. All that jim-jam ends up in a bass soliloquy turned into odd-metered groove, which serves as a lush pavement for Hogg’s explorations.…

Liz Holt, Barry Fife and Shirley Hastings are three characters from Strictly Ballroom, who are artificial and believe their actions, either good or bad, are for the greater glory of dancing. It could be said that Liz Holt is ambitious, prefers to stick to the rules and will do anything it takes to win. After Scott and Liz loose at the Warathas State Championships, she tells Scott that she does not give a shit about his new steps. She wants Pam Shorts, Ken Railing’s dancing partner to break both…

Music is the international medium that can link both mind and soul. From sophisticated, well drawn out classical music, to drums and rocks in Aboriginal tribes in Africa, music is a natural and seemingly God-given talent we all possess. “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent,” it is supernatural yet so uniquely human simultaneously (Hugo). Music elicits response; one main response it draws out is in-depth analysis. As popular as music is, music…

Drum Corps is my passion, something that I love to do, and it has changed my life. Drum corps is a less known sport/art, that has evolved and grown in the past 44 years. It has affected me differently depending on when it was. My views on some things changed since I was actively there, but I would not want to lose that time for anything. Drum corps is an activity that I feel very strongly about, as well as the group of people that form the community, joining and doing it has been one of the best…

First airing in 2007, this show revolves around elites of New York and grabs the interest of many teens, resulting in winning…

PART FOUR: Creative Process 381_CP_SONG 1: Can’t Stop I started with the guitar and formed a riff based in the key of Em. I transposed this riff onto a sparkly synth sound and could hear a strong bass line that would accompany it. I had three successful ways of approaching the creation of Can’t Stop. Firstly, completing a section and moving to the next before adding production elements. Secondly, having short breaks and returning to listen with fresh ears to recognize sounds that were not…

I attended Big Nick & the Gila Monsters at Janey’s Coffee Co. & Bodega, where they performed a blues style of music. Big Nick & the Gila Monsters aren’t a very big band or group that is known worldwide, but they are based out of Phoenix, Arizona and are all very talented individuals. They performed several songs, but never let the audience know what they were playing which was unusual to me because usually they let us know what song they’re playing so we could find out more about it. Although…

All about that bass The horizontal bass has a vague history. Many bassist believe Leo Fender was the first creator of the horizontal bass; but, they’re not completely right.

The modern bass was a grandchild to the seventeenth century double bass. The first notable change was in the nineteen-twenties by a man named Lloyd Loar, which at the time worked for a notable…
