There are many interpretations of music to an individual in today’s society. To some, music is representation of art, to others, a way of relaxation. Modern-day music mostly consists of mainstream music; usually chart-toppers and ubiquitous. Music in the past used to be filled with meanings; often a foretelling of a story or history. Fast forward to the present, music depth has liquidated. Mainstream music is often repetitive, standardised (Simpson, 2000) and frequently fantasizes on heartbreak…

Pandora has proved to be an everlasting brand, and I believe my new concept will bring them to the next level. Another force that has always been a prominent part of culture like jewelry is music. Music can adhere to any memory. The feelings you get from music, the connections you feel to artists, all drive consumers to want more and more. The feeling you cannot put into words, with visions beyond limits, is the heart of this campaign. I am proposing that Pandora partners with Pandora Radio in a…

Music is everywhere. And although there are more common ways of hearing it, such as the radio, many people don’t realize the impact that other things such as television has on what music they listen to and what music is considered “hot music” at certain points in time.

Then…

For the love of music In this essay we are going to explore controversial reality of the music industry from the perspective of a music enthusiast. There is a wide-spread opinion that file-sharing has had deleterious influence on the music industry. On closer inspection, there is little evidence to substantiate this claim though. Firstly, most artists apparently do not have long-term contracts with any major record company, nor do they receive generous remuneration from radio stations. In fact,…

Before taking music 111, I only know little about music with few preconceptions. First preconceived idea which I hold was players who can play by ear are naturally genius or just a special gift. However, from the lecture, “Oral Tradition” and Lilliestam’s article I got the idea how the players can play by ear. In his article, "On Playing By Ear", Lars Lilliestam compared music to spoken language. He described as if we learn a variety of phrases, we can use the language in certain situation. Same…

Don’t you just hate all the fakes out there? All the fake friends, or fake promises. What about the fake voices? I’m not talking about when people say things that aren't true, I’m talking about the people out there that are making thousands off of being fake.

We chose this topic because we were interested in seeing if the image of women in music videos has changed since the first music video was released in the 1980s. We chose to focus on music videos because they are an important part of the music industry, especially in the department of sales. Music videos increase the sales of songs as well as be viewed by millions of people around the world. Music…
