This expansion of the traditional soundscape, of course, isn’t without its justified criticism. Overdubbing and multi-track recording, by definition, allows artists to potentially polish their studio recordings to a degree of artificial perfection. Many critics agree that overdubbing induces a certain stiffness that isn’t present in live or single session recordings, and this rigidity directly contradicts the tenets of rock and roll, which decree it an organic expression of thought. For all the…

The people who are always bored are the people who are boring. I remember being told something along these lines, that the nature of one’s surroundings depends on what they make of them, and this ultimately reflects who they are. In order to constantly live in an interesting world and even be an interesting person, people adapt a “creative eye.” Having such, they are able to find new treasures in otherwise depleted or barren scenes. This filtered, idealistic vision of the world has been…

simply not as expedient as capitalism. Because of this, the economy eventually became stagnant and the Soviet Union began to dismantle. Furthermore, Mikhali Gorbachev, the Communist party leader in the Soviet Union, was responsible for much of the progression towards peace and away from communism. Gorbachev, instituted the policies of perestoika and glasnost which introduced capitalists principals and encouraged freedom of speech. These policies not only gave more freedoms to the soviet…

While reading through this book I was quickly captivated by the first page, and successfully drawn in even deeper throughout the progression of the novel. In this book, Higashida takes the reader with him on an exploration of many different emotions and relatable scenarios that strike a chord with the readers following along. Before reading through this book, I just knew a general idea of what it was about. All I knew was that it was written by a young boy with autism, and was then translated…

My paper’s approach to Louis Armstrong’s small band performance in Australia is organized by song. In each of these song sections, I describe what is generally going on. Intermixed amongst my musical review, I also interject my personal feelings and perceptions to what is occurring. I have organized my structure this way in order to provide a methodical structure to my analysis. Louis Armstrong starts playing the trumpet in the first song, “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South,” almost immediately…

Let’s Band Together Ever since I saw a high school band perform for us during an assembly, I’ve wanted to be a part of the band experience. I’ve been waiting for today all summer, today I get to pick which instrument I get to play. I’m not even the slightest bit mad that I have to go to my school a day before school even starts. As I walk into my elementary school, I proudly remember that I’ve gone to this school for years. It feels good knowing I get to finally be a fifth grader and rule the…

He is considered the transitional composer from Classical to Romantic period. Beethoven’s innovation’s through his lifetime has impacted the classical music remarkably. His genius can be traced down through all his compositions. Unlike Mozart and Haydn, Beethoven’s keyboard…

sentimental, sassy, experimental anomaly from London. They make original music that doesn’t always make musical sense—by that I don’t mean it’s hard to digest because most of it is enjoyable to listen to. However, they offer melodies, sounds and chord progressions that keep the listener interested and often thinking, “I didn’t expect that.” Their sound is their own and there isn’t another band like them. Not even close. And when you’ve got a good thing going, why make sense? I took a half hour…

Chapter 15- Rock Traditions and the Business of Change The music industry itself developed and introduced a new idea in selling albums. Starting from the 1970s, with the DIY revolution, to the 1990s, featuring digital recording, prices and accessibility to digital music became cheaper and easier to use. Thus, electronic distribution was the first to revolutionize. Internet sales thrived as compact disks became less of a desire for people to travel to buy; the sales of physical CDs declined…
