Bass

too many liberations in melodic writing. While observing Monteverdi’s madrigal, one notices several instances of note-against note dissonances. The first instance (example 1.1) displays dissonances of a seventh and a ninth between the canto and the bass voice. This harsh head on charge into the unpleasantness is forbidden in counterpoint practice. Instead, on should consider the correction in example 1.2. By lengthening the measure into two, giving the canto line a smoother transition…

Fourteen: Sid Vicious Only Played on One Song of Nevermind the Bollocks. When Vicious started playing bass with the Sex Pistols, he didn’t really know how to play the instrument. For this reason, former Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and guitarist Steve Jones played bass on most of the tracks of the album. Vicious did play on one song “Bodies,” but Steve Jones has said that he dubbed another bass track over it and mixed Vicious’ to almost inaudible levels. Number Thirteen: The Final Song…

Paris workshop, Sax manufactured standard instruments, gradually introducing improvements along the way. In 1845, Sax patented a family of brass instruments he called saxhorns, and in 1846, the saxophone family made its first appearance ranging from bass to sopranino. 1846 is often given as the year of the invention of the saxophone, but Berlioz knew of it in 1842, and wrote praises about it in Journal des Debats. The Berlioz article made Sax's reputation soar overnight, and landed him a…

day me and my friends decided to go this illegal pond at my girlfriends dads work place. Did we have no where to fish in the first place? No, we have just been bass fishing at our pond for so long we all decided to try to find another one to fish at, and Sabine Coal Mine was a great place. For one, all the ponds there were stocked with bass from top to bottom. Second these ponds were so transparent that you could see right through them where the fish were at. The risks of getting caught were…

For many high school students, home feels like a permanent safe haven, but Elizabeth Welch’s house in Winchester, Massachusetts only feels like a temporary destination for her. Andover has usurped the position of primary residence in her life, and her sojourn home on every Sunday never lasts long enough. In her old neighborhood, a new generation has displaced Elizabeth, her twin, and her three older siblings; neighbors put on a façade of kindness as they wait for her family to leave. As…

Despite the plans regarding this project had started in 2009, only recently the band members have reunited in Portugal to record their debut album, Poetics of Sight, strongly influenced by film and released on the W&J Productions, a new record label from New York. Using imaginative techniques and resorting to unconventional sounds,…

More often than not, the phrase of ‘the night is still young’ will always be coining the ears of some individuals. In the middle of the night, a certain extent of the phrase is perpetuated until it is suitable to cater a positive morale for those who are doing their assignments, especially for those who enforce some catch-up of their work till the brink of time; however, slowly but surely, the body of those individuals will persuade them to sleep, breaking down their spirits pieces by pieces,…

the unsettling feeling that is portrayed. The vocals drop back drastically, harmonising with each other in a haunting, scalic melody, as it starts on a C or the tonic of the scale, and reaching as low to an E natural. The guitars become acoustic, the bass stops, and the drums are subtle in the background. This creates a thin, homophonic texture. As this section reached 5:15 minutes the same melody is carried through, along with the backing instruments, but the melody line from the start of the…

is really just a collection of the most talented player of each respective instrument at the time. Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant are each arguably the most talented player of their respective instruments (guitar, drums, bass, and vocals). It shows in their music, which is mostly rooted in the blues. Blues was very popular in England at the time, so the band used that style in their music. The band is credited with being one of the first heavy metal bands because of…
