Hear Music

February 4th, I went to Milwaukee Wisconsin to see Excision perform along with 12th Planet, Cookie Monsta, Dion Timmer, Bear Grillz and Barely Alive. Excision has always been one of my favorite music producers since I was around 12 years old. The music he produces is dubstep, not everyone likes this genre of music because it can be a bit profound to some but it’s pleasing to my ears and I enjoy it. All the performers that night played dubstep because that’s what the concert was all about. I was…

purpose of modern instruments. Because we have always had emotions, we always created art. A desire to create is born in us. Art appeals to all of our senses, which is why humans are so drawn to music, murals, dance, literature, and so on. Most importantly, art can change or create emotions in us based on what we hear, see, smell, touch, and taste. Our relationship with the arts originates from centuries ago, and because of its history, it can help us understand ourselves. Art impacts social…

Coming out of fifth grade, I didn’t know what music really was. It just seemed like a bunch of guys playing a plethora of notes in my opinion. But once I joined middle school band, that all changed. Sometime during sixth grade, I had the sudden epiphany that I need to pursue music for as long as possible, because it felt special. It still does. Though middle school taught me everything I needed to learn about music at the time, high school is the reason I’m writing this paper. Entering ninth…

Marilyn Manson, and many more. This concert was the 21st stop of 2018 in Joey’s “Amerikkkana Tour”. Known for his very deep thought and influential rap lyrics, he provided me and other fans from Minneapolis a live look at who he is, what him and his music represent, and what his harmonious yet cutting vocals sound like in…

This was a concert that included works of various composers and songs that all complemented each other well. With its gospel-esc sounds, the choir brought soul and rhythm to each piece of music they performed. The concert featured various composers and the majority of the music that was performed was spiritual music. There were two featured composers— Glenn Burleigh and Moses Hogan— along with a few other composers— Sydney Guillaume, Larry Fallow, Kurt Carr, Anthony Brown, Raymond Wise, V.…

Radiolab Playing God with Sheri Fink First of all, it was very emotional and the wrestling with the idea and implementation of triage was thought provoking. Onto the actual structure of the piece. I enjoyed all of the background music and noises. For example, when reporter Sheri Fink described the scene of the refugees in Macedonia being stuck between the borders, the inclusion of the murmuring sounds took the story from being mere words to letting me actually “see” the scene with a sea of…

Her music can be described to be a mixture of R&B, funk, dance, hip-hop and pop. It is hard to classify her as just one genre when she is a mixture of all of them at once. It is said, that Mariah Carey is one of her music influences (Arian Grande Facts), which explains how she usually creates lyrics with such wide vocal ranges like Mariah Carey. Ariana is also known…

opportunities in dance, music, visual arts, and drama(“Arts Education in Secondary Schools”). I personally believe fine arts should be put in all secondary schools. Although some argue that cities have opportunities provided, I believe that they should be placed in schools. Fine arts is used to help students progress in many different ways. Fine arts helps students by increasing their senses and emotions. The different parts of fine arts helps students each a different way. Music for example…

Lead by jazz director Marko Marcinko, with Jazz being one of my favorite forms of music, it was an honor to listen to Centre Dimensions Jazz Ensemble. Unfortunately, since I didn’t get the chance to listen to it live, I made sure to wear my beats headphones so I can hear every last instrument clearly. Instantaneously when the band started to play, I felt like I was in a 1920’s New Orleans club. The harmony was very upbeat and dance like, I began to tap my foot to the three beat tempo. The band…

Whether listening to classical music from Mozart or hard core rock and roll, music has become an enormous influence on society today. Music is an interesting work of art because listening to it affects the brain subconsciously. More interesting is to what degree music affects the brain. The brain has many different areas that control the different aspects of a person. These areas are also influenced by music. The Auditory Cortex is mainly part of the temporal lobe (Kassem), which is associated…
