His boundless musical universe encompasses completely different styles that include avant-garde jazz, experimental ensembles, free improvisation, noise rock, electronic, contemporary classical, and music for film and opera/theater. The 66-year-old Cleveland native studied several theoretical correlations on music and scientific algorithms, which…

Composer, arranger, and conductor William Grant Still was born on May 11, 1895, in Woodville, Mississippi. After his father, a university professor, passed away before he was born, his mother, a successful teacher, moved the family to live with Still's grandmother in Little Rock, Arkansas. Not only did his family value literature and music, but his childhood home was filled with the sounds of his grandmother singing spirituals, which seems to inspire his honorary career. In 1911, Still enrolled…

and work. While I am wick or not in a good condition there is no way I’ll be sitting in front of a piano and focus only on making music. And not only that, I would not be able to meet with other people from the work and discuss properly about how the film or game is going to be like. Internet, texts, and phone call can only get you so far. Also, having healthy minds allows you to have easier time resting your brain then recharging it so it may be ready to endure the stress it takes while you are…

La La Land is not only the most enchanting, yet heart-wrenching movie I have seen this year. The music in it is a soundtrack you could never get tired of hearing. From the start of the movie, there is musical numbers and scenes that make you feel like you’re in the world of the movie. The plot is also one that takes you on an emotional roller coaster. Mia, an aspiring actress, meets Sebastian, a jazz player. They meet on a highway in traffic, then at the jazz bar Sebastian works at where he gets…

That’s crazy, some may think, maybe the person is absolutely insane- or just really hates the piano. However, that is not so. Piano Burning is an action of setting an acoustic piano on fire. It is usually ceremonial or for visual entertainment. How this tradition began is a mystery. Some say that this may have started…

It’s an artistic medium in which the human body is used to express visually. There are many genres of dance, just like how there’s horror and romantic genres in music or film. Each dance genre can correspond to a period of time, gender, religion or musical tune. Within dance we have multiple occupations and purposes. Everything and everyone experiences different levels and variety of dances; even our eyes “dance” as we read words on the covers of magazines. There are many factors that determine…

and it would sound incredible. This was a creative art for that was also unique. I also liked to read about the folk music portion of this chapter. What struck me is when it said, “Folk songs are usually remembered by ear and not written down in musical notation, the music and text continually evolve from generation to generation. Folk music is beautiful because it comes from such emotion sometimes such as “Amazing Grace”. Today you do not here much folk music on the radio and it’s a shame…
