grammys and brits (Bhelawe, 2016). The singer was appointed MBE (Bull, 2013), receiving an award on the Queen’s Birthday Honour list for her services to music (BBC News, 2013). Masses relating and yielding to such music enables the culture industry to use emotions as a tool to manipulate masses; giving them a pseudo-experience of being love and wanted. Masses become more individualistic as they turn to music for a source of emotional well-being instead of friends…
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…
Apps and softwares will be the main source for downloading music illegally and legally. People right now use Pandora, Soundcloud, and etc. and a few softwares to download music or stream it. How many softwares or websites will be sued for giving free music to download, and how many people will get lawsuits from downloading the music illegally from these…
way for new shows to come in and take their throne, and that’s exactly what happened. With the shift from music to reality television the spot for the new music show/channel became available and in came American Idol. American Idol was a show based off of a popular British television show and was brought to America. American Idol then became the new influence for music television and in society, but only for the absence of MTV. From American Idol came other shows such as The Voice, which is…
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,…
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 for music, if players learn chord progression and forms, they can use repertoire and able to play by ear. Also, it was astonish to see how twelve bar blues can be played in thousands of song. Second preconception was that I do not know the reasons for the radio…
making thousands off of being fake. Autotune has completely taken over the music culture today and I have a problem with that. Over 90% of artists today use or have used autotune in some capacity. Why is it we are taught not to be fake all our lives and then turn around and praise others based on their popularity. I believe that if you need to be fake and use autotune to get where you are in the music world, you don’t deserve to be there. As I stated before close to 90% of artists today use…
and don't be afraid to ask your followers to give feedback. If your followers know that you are interested in their opinions, they are more likely to check out your videos. You can also use Twitter to tell everyone where your next performance will be and news related to your band. You never know what big record label or talent agent may be following your tweets or connected to someone who is. * Socialize Social media, like Facebook, MySpace, Tagged and similar applications, are extremely…
measured was the type of clothing worn by the women in the music videos (revealing/tight vs. normal). We defined revealing as showing off a lot of skin and tight as body-clinging clothing. Normal clothing was defined as neither revealing nor tight. The fourth variable we measured was if the women acted in a sexual manner or not. We defined sexual action as taking off clothing, suggestive movements such as dancing, heavy making out, and assumed sexual intercourse. The fifth variable we measured…
must get their music out there and change to what the people want today. Musicians should change their tune and adapt to society today. There is no doubt about music changing from hand held records or CD's to streaming on the internet and buying music off of apps like "iTunes". Old forms of music are fading away and the younger generations might know how to work a record player in today's form of music, because of this many musicians are making the right choice to move digitally. This allows…
