The fall.. I woke up one day to find myself getting chilled, I opened my eyes, the bright light tingled them. I found tones of snow all around. The gusty wind was really scary, killing me with its chillness. I stood up roamed some steps. It seemed like I was on one of the glaciers in some part in Antarctica...puzzled...I moved on, From a distant I saw a full grownup but lean and thin polar bear on the edge, her kids were playing around her in warmth love of their mother. Leaving the occasional…

Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, on American Pop Culture was that the music that was put out was no longer driven, or controlled, by these big rock ‘n’ roll stars, or the smaller independent producers who helped promote the music. The larger mainstream record companies who disliked and distrusted rock ‘n’ roll instead produced and sold music that was bland and white-washed in comparison. This did not mean that there was a lack of demand from the kids who were rock ‘n’ roll aficionados, there was,…

just be able to use musician's music without their consent. There are two reasons why I don't support this idea. One reason is because Internet services that stream music are taking the place of buying the music which decreases the sales of CDs, records, and cassettes which have been sold over the years. Another reason why I don't support this idea is because any loss in album sales can be offset by touring and selling merchandise, but with rising costs and other factors this isn't enough so…

Paradax Records established in 1999 by Dwayne Taylor & Daniel “Dax” Delgado. At the time House music was at its peak, both DJ Dax & Dwayne decided to jump on the band wagon and share their love of house music with their peers via a record label. For the next 10 years their production team “Soulato” which incorporate the name Soul & Latino, produced over 100 mixes with half being pressed on vinyl. In 2006, Paradax ceased pressing vinyl due to an increase of djs spinning CDs then lowly…

People love to listen to music. It is a part of everyone’s lives. It is proven that without music every now and then, a person can become depressed. I, however, love to create the music that the people listen to. I do not do it for fame or because I feel forced to, but rather because it is one of my true passions. One reason why music production is my true passion is because I am allowed to be creative and express my artistic ideas. My music production software acts as my paint canvas when it…

A record label makes, distributes and markets sound recordings; basically at the end of the day they're out to make money. How has the music industry been affected by the Internet and digital downloading? This question is important because the Internet is the Music Industry's new problem. Music in today's world without the Internet will be the main question or main concern if we did not have it. Where would the music industry be without the Internet and the power to share files, MP3 waves and…

Movie theaters have also closed due to the fact that people are bootlegging the movies and putting them on the internet for different people to watch. People like to take the easy way out when it comes to buying music and or going to the movies. Many record labels have had to shut down just because they have no way to bring in enough money to keep it going. Copyright infringement has left a harmful stain on the music and film industry. The big fact of the matter is that so many people are…

The readings I completed this week really got me thinking about the transformations of music over the years. I have gained a lot more knowledge about the ethics of music and how technology has opened doors for artists and how it has affected the music world for both listeners and the artists themselves. For my response journal this week, I would like to discuss two important areas from the chapters of the book, ‘Capturing Sound’ by Mark Katz that I found really intriguing. One area would be…

the back of my head. Dad said nothing as he swigged his beer. Not even a response as he turned and walked into the house. More tears welled up as I thought he was either drunk again or worse he just did not care. He picked up a pile of gramophone records and inspected the label. “Wot the fuckin’ ‘ell are these?” said dad to his mates, “And who the bleedin ‘ell is Earl Hines and his orchestra when ‘e‘s…

Ever since I was little, I would sing and look up music. I would rush home every day after school so that I could practice. My entire life I would strive to become more musically talented. Now that I am older, because of technology, I am interested in Social Media, and how music these days is related to music. Music is my passion. Any chance that I get to learn more about music, I often take. The topic that I have chosen to write about is, how the music industry is affected by the internet and…
