This was a great concert–were you there, too?
What I find especially intriguing about Alarm Will Sound is this reverse-engineering of electronic music that sort of shows the work involved in producing sounds. […]
Yeah, that 12-tone version was hilarious. I think that’s more a proof that its possible, not that anyone _should_ do that! But now, having taken this course, at least you know theoretically what that means!
I […]
Unfortunately I didn’t catch the engineer’s name, the performance was oddly informal in some ways. The venue however was at 121 Ludlow Avenue in Manhattan.
Yes! I understand it may sound odd saying this music […]
Glad you enjoyed the video! I agree that this video is a bit intense to digest, I’m still watching it over and over trying to understand certain things he says. I’ve come to the realization that it would take a […]
That video you embedded is hilarious. That is at least 6 semesters of music theory rolled into 14 minutes of intensity. Slow it down, study it, and then show it off in Theory class!
Given that Jazz was a sort […]
That is an interesting observation, and yes I agree, it is necessary to include sound as part of history and science not only to study its functions but also to interpret what it says.
Hey everyone in the class: The Stone will be closing its doors at this location this year, so get down there and experience something like this! Olivia is right–the venue really makes the musical experience here. […]
Thanks for introducing us to Caliper Music and to this recording! This is ear-opening music, for sure.
We didn’t speak to much about this in class, but I think this recording, and our own experience with some of […]
This exhibit at the Rubin appears to be a great example of how sound is increasingly regarded as an important part of an experience, equal to the visual. Of course, that hasn’t always been the case, and the work […]
Do Make Say Think strikes a nice balance, don’t they? I agree that there is that DIY punk ethos in the sound, and it’s definitely not over-produced, but on the other hand, their music sounds so thorough (to me anyway).
I guess the logic behind the word “post” is that the music has foregone the traditional standards of rock, and is experimental with instrumentation, texture, rhythm, etc. However, I agree that it is definitely […]
The Dj was hardly noticeable because it was drowned out by the percussion or brass instrument at times. However, I do hear it when the group was playing dissonant notes. It would have a cut of a scratch sound of a […]
What does post-rock mean when related to this music? It does seem like post-modern and all the other “post” terms which lack a really precise meaning.
I think I might have called this “indie rock” as we did with […]
I like this performance a lot. The environment is very cinematic which insinuate epic to the performance. I also consider the music pieces itself is epic. The group performance started with a staccato progression […]
I could imagine the atmosphere for this event and music. It seems like a laid back atmosphere because of violin playing technique. I could see why it has a bar because you can sip on some beverage while listening […]
The piece has a lot of movement because I can differentiate by the texture. Some movement is dense while other is light. E.G at 5:52 the guitar notes is consonant rather than the distance between notes. Perhaps is […]
I mean, doesn’t everyone hate pop-punk? But yeah, I definitely agree with you in that it starts off as a “fun” riff reminiscent of that style, but really builds into a much more complex piece. I strongly […]
I like the way “Do” builds up. To be honest, I hate pop-punk, but it really started to develop into something much more well pieced together. Layered guitars are an amazing thing, by the way. I’m gonna check these […]
