Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart was an Austrian composer and pianist that created a variety of concertos, operas, symphonies, and sonatas. Many of these changed the way classical music was written and even performed. Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart was capable of playing many instruments and he began playing in public at the age of six. In the years following years Mozart composed hundreds works of art that were marked both by fascinating emotions, and sophisticated textures.…
playing is lively, with occasional stylish licks sprinkled throughout. Bill Evan plays the last solo, and his chord playing sounds immersive and “deep” (lack of a better term). The group then returns to the main theme before ending “So What” with the bassline that lead us into the music in the first…
limitations it seemed, all the resources we provided. Oh wow! There were some hot chicks around the place! Where the hell had they come from? Lounging and giggling on the sofas were the most magnificent looking girls of our town. The music with a heavy bassline was fulminating the speakers on the verandah and there were several silhouettes dancing on the roof. The lights were flaring and with every beat they would glow more and more luminous.The ablaze neon flares were directed towards everyone…
The Baroque Period has become known as one of the richest and most diverse periods in music history and lasted from about 1600 to 1750 AD. This period followed the Renaissance period and, at the beginning of the Baroque Period, it was marked by the development of what some musicians call the “second practice,” as differentiated from the “first practice” of the Renaissance (Hast, Dorothea E., et al. 271). European culture began to increase the importance of human feeling in the arts. According to…
For instance, a jazzy bassline, saxophone, and relaxed piano combined in the right manner evoke the image of film noir and detectives, while the combination of a cajón, steel drums, and an ukulele sounds distinctly beachy. Some of these themes are cultural, born out of a specific…
but in christopher's case he is making the routines and systems and this proves that he is independent and intelligent for making such complex and interesting systems. likes to decide if it's a good day be for the day starts so he has some type of bassline or routine before he has to start into the day. Christopher is independent because he wants to be an astronaut and astronauts have to be independent because you have to be all by yourself and as Christopher says “I think i would make a very…
battle is between using violence or peace as a tactic to be heard. The lyrics as well as the sound feed into the contradiction between violence and peace. When Kendrick Lamar makes strong statements like “King Kendrick,” the music consists of a fast bassline and what sounds like a violin with a deep scary sound. These sounds add to the violent part of Kendrick claiming that he, along with T’Challa, are kings of everything. Then the peaceful part comes when he asks about if you are an activist is…
Imagery and sound in the short film An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, directed by Robert Enrico, is distinct and haunting. The stark symmetry and harsh scoring in the beginning, the dreamlike quality of the second act, and the ominous framing and music of the finale create a beautiful adaption of the original short story by Ambrose Pierce. In the original short story, the imagery tells the story rather than the dialogue. This can be seen in the film from the beginning, as the soldiers begin…
Drive, an indie film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn illustrates the importance of sounds effects and music to convey the mood in scenes, making the viewer subconsciously believe that the action is realistic. Yet the bass-driven electronic music throughout the scenes with The Driver, paired with little dialogue and prominent engine sounds represent his alienation from the rest of the world. Meanwhile, when he is with Irene, the music becomes warmer and has vocals, contrasting his loneliness…
Breaking the Mold Jazz music in the 1950’s typically consisted of smooth, melodic lines, and compositions in 4/4, and in some cases, 3/4 rhythm, which made it easy for listeners to dance along to, therefore boosting the popularity of the particular band. Dave Brubeck went against this commonality, and created music that he enjoyed playing, rather than composing songs that fit into the standardized “jazz mold.” This decade introduced some immensely talented jazz musicians with the innovative…
