It was used to keep time and exaggerate style and dynamic. Other melodic instruments…
azz is a very interesting form of music, From simple piano lines all the way down to squealing high notes coming from the ambrechure of a very talented trumpeter. It's all made from a swing beat or from a funky bass line. That's not the only interesting part, although the first jazz recording was published in 1917 its origins date all the way back to times of slavery when africans would be shipped to america and be sold in order to work on plantations (Atkins 6). Throughout the twenties jazz…
July. As Serdamoir kept walking he began to notice there were no popcorn machines making a snap, pop sound. There were no hot dog vendors yelling bratwurst, bratwurst, get your bratwurst here. There were neither a trumpet nor accordion nor the big bass guitar playing. As Serdamoir continued he would envision streamer ribbons of many colors and shades, of pink, purple, green, black and some white. People dancing joyously and not a frown in site. Serdamoir with a confused and unsure grin began to…
arrangement for 9 cellos. The piece is homophonic (with a bass line and melody on top) in texture in order to mimic the baroque period but it incorporate syncopation as a part of the Brazilian culture. The third song, Entr’act by Jacques Ibert has a deep Spanish influence and eclectic feel because the composer did not attach…
needed was a band setting that had a guitar, drums and piano with bass. I wanted my friends to attend church, which none of them did and one way to get them to go, was if a band was present. So I searched several churches. Down the street from my apartment was a little church. It was a tiny thing in comparison to the one on the other side of the road. It held maybe fifty people inside on a crowded day. I walked into this Church and there was the drums and guitar along with a piano and as I…
often characterized by lyrical references to science fiction, horror films, violence, sexuality, and other taboo topics which are often presented comedically. Some psychobilly bands use an upright double bass instead of an electric bass, however the Cramps are notorious for their lack of a bass player. In the mid- to late 1970s, as punk rock became popular, several rockabilly and garage rock bands appeared who influenced the birth of psychobilly. The term "psychobilly" was actually first coined…

The Soulvation group mostly sing covers of other artists from different genres, but from their stage name they mostly concentrate on soul music. The guitarist had a moment where he played his electric guitar in a way that left me in a trance. I enjoyed that part most tenderly. They not only sang different genres, but the ones that caught my eye were SWV’s weak. This was the first song I heard when I entered the bar. At that moment I knew that I was grateful that I had chosen to attend and watch…
