Music venue

When I want to dance, I’ll listen to house music with a heavy bass. Only in the summertime while driving with the windows down will I turn on the country music station. I am very conscious in my choice of music, and I will often aggravate my friends by skipping through one hundred songs until I find the perfect one that fits my mood. I will spend longer searching for the music I want to hear than I do actually listening to it. A key component of music that I look for when choosing a song is a…

opened at 6:30pm and the play began promptly at 7:30pm after a brief welcoming and introduction through the sound system. With my previous experiences in watching theatrical performances, I knew before arriving at the production that no two plays or venues are the exact same. This expectation was definitely true upon my arrival and throughout my time spent at the Alfresco Arts Center. In comparison to my experience at the Looking Glass Playhouse last month, there are several differences…

feel this free forever. Sure, I could keep listening to music and obtain these fleeting sensations, but that simply wouldn’t fulfill the desire I feel to be truly immersed into the world of the music industry. My aspiration is to be surrounded by music in my workplace. Ideally, I would like to create innovative sounds that can change the world, and I believe receiving the proper education and training will help me succeed in this way. The music gene has been passed through my family for…

Having failed to secure the rights to any music from Hendrix’s estate, the film instead emphasizes the covers of other 60’s classics such as “Wild Thing” and “Stg. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” In many scenes, like that when Hendrix is playing at the club in London, the film focuses specifically on the strumming of the guitar strings, instead of the actual music that is being played. In these cases, as Lemire states, “We see Hendrix playing but we…

The musical performance I attended was held by Northern Wake Tech Chorus. This performance took place Thursday, December 8th, 2016, from 7:00 P.M. to 9 P.M., in building B, room 204. The concert venue was a decently sized auditorium. Getting to the venue early, there was a variety of seats to choose from, so I decided to sit in the third row in the center; right behind the performers’ seats, with a great view. As time grew closer to the beginning of the show, the audience grew, consisting of…

breath taking because it comes to realization how much work the artist has put into the music and choreography. Listening to the album is based off of visuals in your head as of what is going on in the song, or how the story is being played out. The concert is about giving the fans a show, but artist also let fans join in on the songs while they sing it just to see how many people actually listen to the music that they have been putting out. You could anticipate similarities and differences when…

and historians, all providing prospective for studying music through a Marxist lens. In Music and Marx: Ideas, Practice, Politics, the chapters highlight the place of music in society by engaging Marxist theories on society. The book provides “music-directed approaches to Marx,” which express the issues of musical thinking and theorizing as it relates to commodification, the control of musical form by capitalism, the connection between music-making and economic processes, and the issues of…

western classical music. Having been developed and patented by instrument creator and businessman Adolphe Sax in 1846, the saxophone had already missed out on much of the literature and masterworks written for other wind instruments centuries before its time. Additionally, much of the major classical musical works written for the instrument happened during its constant refinement development in Europe; allowing the saxophone to have more of a foothold in the originally American music idiom of…

Sound Engineer Everyone loves anyone who can play music, and not everyone can do so. For those, world has something called, Studio Engineering or being a "roadie" where one is a part of a team who needs these few of many skills. A sound engineer must have field experience or a degree in sound and audio tech, and a good estimation for the positioning equipment to give the best possible sound for everyone. One needs a lot of field experience or a degree in sound and audio tech, and a good…

The performance I attended was at the Bienen School of Music, Northwestern University. This concert was a preview of BCE’s performance this upcoming Thursday at the American Choral Directors Association Central Division Conference. The works of Ratniece and Hearne will be performed at the conference. The program we started with was Horo Horo Hata Hata by Santa Ratniece, followed by a few other pieces. This was my first time at the Ryan Center for the Musical Arts, it was a very interesting…
