The Sound of Music

I am pursuing is music production. A music producer is someone who oversees the recording of a performer’s music. A music producer is basically also a beat maker and sees if the music sounds good. Don’t you think that it is crazy how music speaks for people’s moods and their lifestyle? Music is a lot of things for many people. For example it can be a way to zone out or express how you feel. There are two types of music producers that I am interested in. The first one is music producer and the…

Although everyone loses their voice in the episode "Hush" from the Buffy the Vampire series, that does not mean the episode is silent by any means. In fact, the use of sound in the episode helped the theme immensely. In “Hush,” the entire town is robbed of their voices; no one can speak. A group of monsters called “the gentlemen” take residence in the towns clock tower and use their powers to lock everyones voices away in the middle of the night. When morning comes, fear strikes the entire town…

Sound Engineering Technician Live music wouldn't be played the same way without this specific career. Without sound engineering technicians, live music wouldn't sound so amazing or be an experience worth living, the sounds would be all over the place and would leave people's ears tortured "If it sounds right, it is right" (Joe Meek). Being a sound engineering technician involves having to know how the sounds are supposed to sound for the audience, plus the type of instruments to band has may…

Often times iconic scenes in a movie will have amazing music, sound effects and vocals to tie the whole scene together, and with all of these, visuals are not really needed, they will only give a crystal clear image of what the director has already portrayed with sound. One example could be the shower scene in Psycho; if you turn off the screen and only listen to the sound; an almost crystal clear visual is made because you can hear what is actually going on. Another perfect example is the…

The 1960’s were a time of social and political evolution, but this thirst to change was not limited to such causes and spread to other cultural elements, most importantly music. The decade was a time for performers to experiment with new and exciting ways of making sounds and performing music. Ways that had never been seen or heard before. Artists who would never have been popularized a decade earlier were finding a following in the free spirited 1960’s culture. Artists like Bob Dylan, Pink…

Alternative R&B PBR -Pabst Blue Ribbon, Music is shared all around the world for everyone to listen to and enjoy.

The double bass arose in Germany during the late 1650’s. It was mostly used in Orchestras for classical music, creating a low pitched base for the violins and violas while harmonizing with the cellos. As time evolved, around 1890, the African American communities in early New Orleans began jazz ensembles that played a mixture of marches, ragtimes or…

above many others. Sound is purposeful and if organized correctly adds a range of emotions as it fits towards the overall picture. In this follow up to the classic Matrix, Neo finds himself in the middle of things as the Sentinels are reaching Zion. As the clip progressed I saw the audio elements that are worth breaking down for education on the film process. As opening clip of the movie progresses, it is obvious that the nonliteral sound is prevalent with the dramatic undertone music that…
