The Foley sound effects are artificial, created with props or sources that are often radically different to what appears on screen. In cinema, the sounds of monsters or futuristic technology, for instance, have been created using every from envelopes to breezeblocks and biplane motors. It’s not just for fictional TV or movies either. In a radio documentary, The Sound of Sports, Dennis Baxter describes how sounds are added to sporting events, from rowing to athletics. In horse racing, for example…

then picks up around the one minute and fifteen second mark. Rhythm is defined as the pattern of sound and beats in the music. Just before the tempo picks up, the flute is in rhythm with Armstrong’s voice, which creates a harmony. Texture is another key element in music because it is the ability to distinguish one voice or instrument from another. I do not have an ear for music, but I thought it was very easy to hear the piano, violin, flute and his voice at thirty-six…

Charles R. Ciorba and Brian E. Russell are Professors of Music at University of Oklahoma and University of Miami, respectively. Ciorba and Russell discuss the acquisition of jazz theory and the types of students that are most likely able to acquire that knowledge and apply it to jazz improvisation. Ciorba and Russell begin by pointing out the problems of traditionally acquiring knowledge in jazz theory, which was almost entirely trial and error (sec 1.2). They then discuss the importance of…

Russell A. Potter in “Tupac’s Posthumous Live Tour,” makes copious claims leading to his argument: that holographic concerts by dead artists such as, Tupac Shakur isn’t a bright idea due to the fact that their presentation on the platform wouldn’t be genuine and overall it wouldn’t “have the complexity, or the humanity, to really compel our interests.” I disagree with Potter’s argument because a holographic concert by Tupac Shakur could potentially raise money for charity.

The reasoning in part for this decision pays homage to the mood of her music and keeps the emphasis on her music. For example, with a song called “Drowning,” the only prevalent color seen throughout the theater was red. Banks chooses either one or two colors to light the stage to allow them to perfectly show the specific mood of the song that…

academic stress. Music allows me to express my creativity and bond with students who share the same passion. I would go to orchestra class for one common goal and that is to create beautiful music together. Even if I did not have an orchestra class that day, I would still spend my free periods in the Orchestra Room. Occasionally, I would assist the music director in completing some of his tasks if I am not practicing the violin. I truly appreciate how he makes an effort to approach his music…

Music to me is a really special thing that makes me feel some type of way. Don’t intentionally search for new music, I like to just have the music find me. When i’m out and about and I hear a certain song that catches my attention I have to stop what I’m doing and figure out who’s it by and the name. My…

The relationship man has with music is much more than sweet melodies to the ears. Rather, is acts as a guide: manipulating the listeners mind to achieve the unthinkable. Whether you are rocking out to The Weezers or mellowing down to Frank Sinatra, music has the ability to change our mood, get us motivated, and aid concentration…

feel the vibrations from the rhythm move through them and they wanted to join in. It started with a single audience member clapping along with the beat the dancers made; but, by the end of the song the entire audience was clapping and moving to the music. The clapping integrated into the electricity in the room and the potency of the dance. The energy of the dancers increased with the excitement of the audience. Many of the dancers began to do flips and other extraordinary tricks which…
