04 April 2008
The only Filipino band in Northern Ireland, Below Zero, performing in Maghery community hall
from Lurgan Mail, 04 April 2008
THE community hall rocked to the beat of Abba with a twist recently.
The social event, which saw members of the Filipino community travel from as far as Omagh and Derry, was a fundraiser for Below Zero, the only Filipino band in Northern Ireland.
The band members, who reside in Dromore and Craigavon, play various contemporary songs as well as traditional Filipino music.
While currently holding practice sessions in ‘a small bedroom’, they hope to grow and be able to play bigger audiences across Northern Ireland.
The evening of entertainment was much welcomed as a helping hand to the band who pay for all equipment and transport costs out of their own pockets.
John Alfante, spokesman for the Filipino community here, and a Maghery resident, spoke of his motivation for events such as this. He said, “I want very much to integrate members of the Filipino community into Northern Irish life”.
Chairperson of the community hall, Kevin Fox, said, “The hall is there to provide for all sections of the community and the Filippino’s use of the facility is more than welcome”. | music_and_dance |

The concert will be available in every imaginable format – 2 DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Video, 2 DVD/3 CD, Blu-ray/3 CD, and a deluxe edition (2 DVD/Blu-ray/3 CD) in May of 2013.
Dream Theater chose to film these particular concerts because of the ultra-enthusiastic South American fan base.”The fans are extremely passionate about Dream Theater,” keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess said in the trailer, “They love Dream Theater like nobody else.”
Live at Luna Park was the culmination of the band’s 15-month, 35-country world tour. “This is without a doubt the closest the viewer at home will come to experiencing a live Dream Theater concert,” said guitarist John Petrucci. “Between the hi-def and 3-D video, the huge audio mix and the documentary style behind the scenes footage, you are truly transported to the arena and completely immersed in the entire live experience.”
Live at Luna Park is Dream Theater’s seventh live video album and fifth live audio album. It also marks the debut tour for the band’s new drummer, Mike Mangini.

The winning artists will tour Spain in July.
Now in its 11th edition, the project seeks to promote a greater knowledge of African music in Spain and create a space for dialogue, which could result in new programmes to strengthen relations between Spain and Africa.
Each year, two bands from the same country are selected to tour and perform at major festivals in Spain. African countries that have previously participated in the project include Senegal, Cape Verde, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and Angola.
Vis a Vis Kenya will be implemented by the Permanent Presidential Music Commission of Kenya (PPMC) and the Spanish and Kenyan embassies in both countries.
Once the registration window is closed, the Spanish music producers and programmers will select 12 bands that will audition between 2 and 5 April in Nairobi, Kenya. The location and venue for the performance will be announced at a later stage.
“We look forward to receiving many applications,” Casa Africa head of culture and education Juan Jaime Martinez said. “The Spanish festival bookers will then shortlist the 12 bands that perform at the two-day event in Nairobi,”
PPMC director Donald Otoyo said: “We are delighted about this exchange between Kenya and Spain. The festival directors will come to experience the live music scene and connect with the music business and our hospitality as Kenyans. In return, two of Kenya’s outstanding bands shall have an opportunity to spread Kenyan music in Spain by participating at 10 to 15 festivals.” | music_and_dance |

A legendary, multi-GRAMMY® nominated session drummer, producer, composer & recording artist, he has worked with a pantheon of musical giants, including Barbra Streisand, James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Bjork, Carlos Santana, Michael Jackson, John Legend, Seal, and the London Symphony Orchestra. He has composed and written songs recorded by artists ranging from Nancy Wilson and Mary J. Blige to The Notorious B.I.G., Lupe Fiasco, Nelly/P. Diddy and T.I.
Chameleon, Mason’s April 29, 2014 solo debut for Concord Records and 10th solo project overall, adds one more remarkable chapter to his legacy. A blend of R&B, urban and cutting-edge jazz, Chameleon takes its inspiration from the title track, which Mason co-wrote with Herbie Hancock, and is a knowing nod to Mason himself, aptly dubbed the “Chameleon” for his uncanny ability to perform so many styles of music. The album updates classic tracks that Mason either wrote or actually played on, such as Hancock’s “Chameleon,” Grover Washington’s “Black Frost,” Patrice Rushen’s “Before the Dawn,” Donald Byrd’s “Places and Spaces” and Mason’s own “Either Way.” Look for Mason to hit the road with his new band Chameleon to support his Concord release.
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Mason began taking formal drum lessons at age seven, playing in school bands and finally buying his first drum set at the age of 16. He continued his education first at the Berklee School of Music, then attended the New England Conservatory of Music on full scholarship, studying performance, composing, arranging, percussion and mallets. In 1970, he graduated from NEC with a B.A. in Education and Performance. He received immeasurable preparation for orchestral work from the legendary Vic Firth, timpanist with the Boston Symphony.
In the’70s and ’80s, “Mase” was king, working on Donald Byrd’s commercial breakthrough album Black Byrd and a series of successful crossover albums for Blue Note Records. This led to his seminal work on Herbie Hancock’s jazz masterpiece Head Hunters (1974), which featured the hit “Chameleon” (co-composed by Mason) and Mason’s own arrangement of Hancock’s “Watermelon Man.”
A string of recordings comprising a “Fusion 101″ class for aspiring drummers soon followed, including performances on Grover Washington Jr.’s Mister Magic, Bob James’Three (featuring “Westchester Lady”), Lee Ritenour’s Captain Fingers, and many more. The icing on the cake for this phenomenal ’70s output was Mason’s contribution to George Benson’s triple-platinum selling Breezin’ album.
Mason’s precision playing has graced movies for such renowned composers as Michael Giacchino (Cars 2, Mission Impossible 1, 2, 3 & 4, Up , Star Trek, Speed Racer), Michel Colombier (Prince’s Purple Rain), Michel Legrand, Miles Davis’ (Dingo), Dave Grusin (Three Days of the Condor, The Fabulous Baker Boys and On Golden Pond), John Williams (Hook), and Lalo Schifrin (Rush Hour 1,2 & 3 and The Enforcer), Harvey Mason (Dreamgirls, Get On Up) to name only a few.
Mason is a founding member of Fourplay, and he continues to flex his writing, playing, arranging and production skills with partners Bob James, Nathan East and Chuck Loeb. Fourplay’s most recent recording, Esprit De Four, was released on Heads Up, a division of Concord Music Group, and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart, receiving a GRAMMY® nomination.
With a commitment to broaden his solo career, Mason says that he’s finally found a good balance. “It’s become more evident to me how much I love playing live and having interaction with band mates and music fans. I’m not a smooth jazz player or a straight-ahead jazz player. I’m more than all of that, I am the Chameleon.” He adds, “The best is yet to come.”
Chameleon, the scintillating Concord Records debut from multi-GRAMMY® nominated Harvey Mason, finds him drawing upon the rich jazz-funk legacy of the 1970s and recasting seven of that era’s most enduring classics with an early 21st-century sheen. A legendary session drummer, producer, composer and recording artist, Mason is among the most recorded and in-demand musicians of all-time.
Co-produced by Chris Dunn, Sr. Director of A&R for Concord Music Group, Chameleon features some of the brightest young jazz talents on the scene today. NEXT Collective alumni such as trumpeter Christian Scott, bassist Ben Williams, pianist/keyboardist Kris Bowers, guitarist Matthew Stevens enliven Chameleon. Bringing more young firepower to the fore are trombonist/vocalist Corey “CK” King, saxophonist Kamasi Washington, vocalist Chris Turner and keyboardist Mark de Clive-Lowe.
Helping Mason steer this cooperative are some of his contemporaries – bassist and co-founder of the legendary Yellowjackets, Jimmy Haslip; percussionist and founder of Los Hombres El Caliente, Bill Summers; and bassist Paul Jackson. Summers and Jackson worked with Mason on Herbie Hancock’s 1973 landmark LP, Head Hunters.
The lead composition, “Chameleon,” from Head Hunters serves, in part, as the signifying reference for Mason’s disc. Not only did Mason provide the rhythmic spank for the jazz-funk staple, he co-wrote it with Hancock along with several other bandmates – Jackson and reedist Bennie Maupin.
The other part of the equalization for the disc’s title comes from “chameleon” being a nickname, given to Mason, because of his incredible versatility. As a first-rate session musician and live performer, his brilliance resides not only in jazz. He’s demonstrated musicianship in R&B, pop, country, Latin and European classical music; Mason also has played on an astounding number of recordings, movie and TV scores and commercial jingles.
After two decades of playing with the GRAMMY®-nominated ensemble Fourplay – with which he’s still a member – Mason decided to reignite his solo career by forming a band based on the first edition of Hancock’s Head Hunters ensemble. Mason took the combo to Japan and received rave reviews. That reception, along with serious encouragement from his manager, inspired him to record Chameleon. “I came back [from Japan] and my manager spoke with Chris Dunn, who was real excited about it. He championed the idea with Concord,” Mason recalls.
During the sessions, Mason was surprised about how strongly ’70s jazz-funk resonated with today’s more cutting-edge jazz artists. “It’s funny because a lot of those records, I may have listened to them maybe one time since I recorded them,” Mason explains. “As a musician, you’re always trying to evolve. When I listen to my drumming back then, it sounds dated. Now my sound is more opened. Back then, I had only one head on the toms, so they didn’t ring as much. They had a darker sound. I’ve modernized my drumming to accommodate the music that’s happening now. So when I listen to the old stuff, I just say, ‘Wow! That’s really something. That’s what they want to hear now.’”
After witnessing Dunn’s passion for the project, Mason took his lead in terms of repertoire and sound quality. “I said to myself that there might be something to this that I might not be seeing. So I trusted his instincts,” Mason says. “As we put it together, I saw where he was coming from.”
A tour-de-force destined become a new hallmark in Mason’s illustrious career, Chameleon begins with a smoldering rendition of Grover Washington, Jr.’s “Black Frost,” arranged by King. It features Kamasi Washington blasting a searing tenor sax solo across an evocative sonic terrain crafted by Bowers and Corey King keyboard and synth chords as Steven’s bluesy guitar accompaniment helps the rhythm section give it more funky momentum.
Like most of the songs on the disc, Mason participated in the recording sessions of the original version of “Black Forest.” That 1974 date was of his first opportunity working with CTI Records and Creed Taylor. He recalls that except for Bob James (who co-wrote and arranged the song), many of the other musicians initially gave him the cold shoulder. “I remember no one would speak to me except for Bob because I was this hotshot making all these hits in L.A.,” Mason says, “Bob was very welcoming to me. We instantly became friends. When we started playing, everything sort of opened up and things were cool after that. Those guys became some of my greatest friends.”
The disc continues with an imaginative take on Bobby Hutcherson’s “Montara,” which has become a hip-hop gem thanks to people like the Roots and Madlib sampling it. On Chameleon, Mason handles the vibraphone part but allows Stevens, who arranged the makeover, to emerge as the lead voice on the melody, before passing the baton to de Clive-Lowe on Fender Rhodes.
Mason wasn’t on the original version of “If I Ever Lose This Heaven,” a soul-jazz ballad classic on Quincy Jones’ 1974 LP, Body Heat. But Dunn insisted on including it on the disc; he suggested Turner, who croons a simmering rendition of the lyrics, originally sang by Minnie Riperton and the song’s co-writer, Leon Ware. Arranged by King with vocals produced by Mason’s son, the new version retains the sensual vibe of the original, yet it shimmers with a modern, after-hours appeal.
Chameleon then breaks into one of its three sensational interludes. The first one, “Going Back” provides an ideal vehicle for showcasing de Clive-Lowe’s arranging and instrumental prowess on the keyboard as he tickles a hypnotic groove alongside Mason and Jackson.
The disc then slides into Bowers’ stunning arrangement of Rushen’s jazz-funk gem, “Before the Dawn,” which is graced by impressionistic horn chords from Scott, Washington and King.
Donald Byrd’s classic “Places and Spaces” arrives next, first with a haunting prelude, before it launches into a swaggering groove, enlivened by Scott’s electrifying trumpet solo. King, who arranged the strutting down-tempo makeover, also lends his suave vocals on lead.
Afterward, Mason’s wistful ballad, “Either Way” arrives. Originally appearing on Dave Grusin’s 1979 LP, Mountain Dance, the song became famous in hip-hop circles after being sampled on Biggie Small’s 1994 rap tune, “Everyday Struggle.” Bowers deftly taps into that hip-hop/jazz connection with a melancholy arrangement.
The title track comes as a grand finale with an imaginative arrangement from reedist (and Concord labelmate) Ben Wendel of Kneebody. For the new arrangement, Mason invited Summers to reprise his famous hinedewho intro to “Watermelon Man” from Hancock’sHead Hunters LP as a suspenseful teaser. It works like a charm as “Chameleon” moves into its trademarked stuttering melody and humpback groove.
The disc is a true testament to the enduring vitality of ’70s jazz-funk, and to Mason’s incredible musical flexibility. He’s a musician intent on constantly pressing forward. So Chameleon is hardly caught up in shallow nostalgia; it’s undeniably contemporary. “The music sounds different than it did back then,” Mason says. “But you get the same feeling and vibe. “ | music_and_dance |

The guttural earthy tones of classic soul singer Gladys Knight and the virtuoso cosmic wails of Chaka Khan, were like comfort food for her soul. Their voices felt like freedom -- freedom is love. And where there is love there is healing.
Deeply inspired by the Afro diasporic musical traditions and sounds of Brazil, West Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, India and North American Blues and Soul, Niva's uses her voice and musical instruments to create a soundscape for healing, infusing the ancient with the contemporary as a mode of healing in powerful ways.
Niva Flor received her B.A. in music from Spelman College, and her M.A. and Ph.D in Ethnomusicology from the University of California Los Angeles.

This CMA festival consists of top country names (e.g. Jason Aldean, Billy Currington, Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, and Tim McGraw). Each day their is 2 different concerts (one during the day and one that night).
Now this concert is a lot different than most because the artists that come to perform receive no profit. Half of the proceeds go to charity's that various artists chose. Also, the tickets are very reasonable for a 4-day event. Ticket prices range from $120-$320 and no matter where you sit you will be able to see the show!
The artists are around all day and night and there are a lot of meet and greets people can go to! A lot of people get autographs and pictures taken while in the meet and greet! If you are a country fan, this is the ultimate experience there is! I can't wait to go and experience it for the first time! | music_and_dance |

For one, his upbeat mix of hip-hop, rock and roll, and reggae is both catchy and funky enough to get anyone’s toes tapping. But OPLIAM’s music goes farther than just infectious rhythms and enticing melodies: he uses his talent to make impactful statements about the struggles that indigenous people continue to go through. OPLIAM’s family on his father’s side comes from the Kahnawake Mohawk reserve outside of Montreal, and the artist takes inspiration from his roots in order to bring attention to issues of prejudice that have effected his family and his community generation after generation.

Featuring five tracks, PINK tells the story of a boy that falls in love with a dancer and the ups and downs of their relationship. The first three songs maintain an upbeat tempo with a cheerful tone reflecting the butterfly stage of the relationship. “You and I” is a lively track that depicts a conflict with his business partner’s disapproval of his relationship and the love he has for his significant other. When his love is put to the test, he proves that love triumphs all.
However, the second half of the album transitions into a more personal and intimate vibe, with a slower tempo representing the stage that reality kicks in. “Seattle” is a somber track inspired by a friend’s break-up when his relationship is forced to an end because his girlfriend moves to Seattle. Although breakups can be difficult, the song emphasizes appreciating the good memories shared with someone. The album concludes with a smooth interlude with intentions to convey that you win some and you lose some, but love is never lost.
PINK is sure to impress fans and solidify Twelve’Len in the South Florida music scene.
“Their music inspires me to embrace my creativity and motivates me to stay original, and I can’t wait to hear what they have in store for 2016,” said Vanesha Gonzalez, a fan of the group. | music_and_dance |

So glad to hear you play again.
I see you've changed style a bit. Do you listen to some "Djent" bands? Periphery much? I swear there are some influences here! Love it!
SOK! Long time man! Yeah I am a BIG fan of Periphery. But not much other "Djent" bands lol. Glad you dig it!
Man your organ and keyboards playing is wonderful. Love it.
Your family is awesome, I hope my children will be musicians when I have children haha, must be great jamming with the boys!
Props to Logan, great sense of melody!
Well you are still young yet...so ...haha. Thanks very much, man. :)\m/
Love it !
You took my song to another level thanks for that! Really pro sound you got there, the lyrics are great too. I listen to it about 5 times a day, I just can't get tired of it :D. I'm looking forward to working again with you. Thanks for all <3
<3. It is always awesome to work with you. I'm sorry I'm slow. Like...shortbus slow...but I really look forward to any projects we do. Thanks dude!
This is beautiful
Whoah... what an intro! This was wonderful, reminds me of metallica's S&M and of Anathema. When the acoustic guitar starts, I immediately though of Porcupine Tree. This plus the vibrato flanger on the electric guitar sounds very much like PT, it's awesome!
The drums sounds good, I like the natural sound it has. Though, it would seems it goes slightly out of beat, sometimes (2:24), especially during the breaks and fills. I assume you were playing the drums on an electronic drum kit? This is not a big problem since you have to listen really carefully to notice this little thing. I have started taking drums lessons this year so I know how hard to play well drums are :). I must say you are a very good drummer.
When the electric guitars kick in with all the layers, it's pure epicness. It's impressive how you managed to arrange a 6 minutes song with a single chord progression without getting boring.
I love it :)
Hey Sonofkirk, thanks for the lengthy review! Yeah this song definitely has PT and Anathema written all over it in terms of layering. Have you checked out Anathema's new album that was produced by Steven Wilson? It's friggin' brilliant, i'm in love with it.
For the drums, I always try to aim for fairly neutral sounding drums in my mix, I don't like to over-process them to much. I just like a natural kit with some nice room ambiance and enough compression to make sure the transients on the snare and kick pop during mixdown. The drums were performed live through a midi kit, though time adjusted later. There was also some additions programmed manually, such as one or two really fast fills that I just can't perform smoothly my self (yet! i'm getting better ;)) I love to drum, i'm just not good enough to do it without major editing afterwards in my music hahaha. This song was fun as hell to drum though with all the cymbal/kick work.
The progression is quite repetitive, it's actually a bad compositional habit I have, which I sometimes try to hide with layering guitar over the backing harmony to create a sort of new melody which becomes quite obvious near the end. It worked for this song, but I am trying to break away from this style of writing because it can get boring for the listener!
Anyways, this is getting long, seems my replies to you always are haha, cheers for the review man!
I'm not much of a "techno" guy, I usually listen to rock or metal music but I was really surprised in a good type of way when I listened to it.
I enjoyed the fusion of the 8-bits sounds and the techno sounds. I must say that anything with 8-bit instrument sounds cool, it reminds me of the old video games, this is priceless :). Though I assume it must have been challenging to mix up those two genre; so kudos you provide us with something very interesting.
I liked the chords progression, especially when the strings play it around 0:45 for example, that's beautiful. The transitions are really smooth, enjoyed how the "transe" synth comes in around 1:05. Nice bass line too! Though I have a complaint about the drums, especially the snare drum. I would have enjoyed something very 8-bit-ish or some something really techno-ish but the snare you used here was kinda in the middle of those two sounds... It sounded too natural to me, I would have expected some highly processed snare here.
As BUCHANKO previously said, the song lacked of energy, you could use some post production plug ins such as Waves MultiMaximizer which is an awesome limiter. You could also work on the bass drum sound and add some distortion and fatness to it :).
Other than that, I enjoyed this song, which is not always the case when it comes to electronic music! :) I fived it.
Hey, thank you so much for the constructive suggestions, Sonofkirk! It'll be a favor to work on all the things you've mentioned. I'm always glad to get helpful reviews like this! :)
What an ambiance!
Dude this is priceless!! It's like I'm listening to some early Porcupine Tree on Newgrounds, when they were really into ambient stuff. I'm digging this song so much.
The first part was beautifully arranged, you have some skills in using synths. That's something I'd like to be able to do and my lack of ability in this field shows on my own songs :P. What plug-ins are you using? those synths sound beautiful. I liked how the bass is playing an ostinato and how the chords over it change, give a enjoyable dark mood to the song.
And wow! I had an eargasm when the drums and guitars kicked in around 3:35! This is just epic. That's a nice guitar tone you got ear, I think I'll try Amplitube someday and do the comparison with guitar rig. Anyway, brilliant tone. Ah I recognize Addictive drums here, I assume you are using a Tama kit? At least the snare is? Anyway, it sounds great I liked how you kept a natural sound to it. Though I would advise you to polish some licks, especially the hi hat hits. For example at 1:49, those 32th notes were too "straight", you should lower the volume of the two first hits to make it sound more realistic. See what I mean? Also nice use of the 3/4!
What can I say? This song is brilliant, nice arrangement and composition. And over all, incredible taste in music, I mean Porcupine Tree was sent by god! ;).
Hey man, thanks for the awesome and lengthy review.
I don't remember 100% but I was either using Atmosphere or Sampletank (might've even been a combination of both). They're really the only two synth vst's I ever use anymore since they seem to cover what I want to do most of the time. But yeah theres nothing fancy with the synth going on in this song, just 2 (or 3) different pads playing single notes with some filter automation, thats it.
I'd highly suggest amplitube. I was a GR user for a long time too but even GR never sounded real to me as good as it was. If you were to blind test me with amplitube and real amps i'd be hard pressed to tell you which was the real thing! Amp sim tech has come so far..
About the hihats, yeah, I hate those 32nd quick fills too, when I was all in depth mixing and mastering this I had never noticed it, and then a week later when I listened to the song I was like, wtf was I thinking.. Another thing that bugs me is some balance issues between the drums and the bass. But really it doesn't bother me enough to go through the process of editing and re-mastering the whole thing, i'm awesome lazy like that ;).
The drums are indeed Addictive Drums using a custom preset I made which utilizes kit pieces from both the Retro and Jazz adpaks (I think i'm XLN audios best customer, lol). I think the only original piece of kit from stock AD i'm using is the kick drum (tama) otherwise everything else is from an adpak. I hate the stock sound of most of AD's drums if only because they're just so overused these days, ESPECIALLY the presets.. (if I hear that 'startup' preset in one more commercially made song, I might stab somebody).
Anyways, thanks for review man, I appreciate it, hope some of my comments on the vsts has been helpful.
And hell yeah, Porcupine Tree is ear sex.
It was very interesting to listen to this piece, I enjoyed the different parts of it and the way the song was in a constant evolution.
The first part with the acoustic guitar reminded me of the music from those games I used to play when I was younger in which you have to build a city during the Antiquity and stuff, like Civilization as Tadashiini said. I really like it, it would really sound perfect for one of those game. By the way, I assume you didn't play the guitar and you programmed it? If it's the case, it sounds absolutely beautiful and realistic, and I must say the other instruments you used sounded brilliant.
Then comes another part at 1:43. This one sounded epic! The chord progression was pretty simple but the way you arranged it with the low octave played by the piano, the strings and the piano melody made it sound just epic. Though I would have enjoyed a bit more rhythm on it, you know to make it sound more lively.
Another part at 2:17 starts, I think it was my favourite. Loved that bluesy lick played by the flute, I think. I must say I didn't expect that coming but it created a nice element of surprise. And the guitar behind it was rocking, acoustic guitar + rock-ish riff = win. The repeat myself, this part deserved more percussion too but maybe that's my metal guy influences that want that :).
Overall I enjoyed this one very much. Though there were a few thing that I would have expected such as more present drums (percussion) but that's a matter of taste so I won't penalize you for that. Great job on this, keep going :). And check my songs if you have some time ;)
Gave it a 5.
First off, thanks for the awesome review. These are few and far between nowadays it seems. So it is always appreciated when someone gives a lengthy and well thought out reaction to something I've written.
As for the song itself, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. As you mentioned the piece really begins to gain energy at the 1:43 mark, and doesn't really look back after the 2:17 mark. I really REALLY liked that final section with the flute so I decided it would be perfect to just add one last bridge and then let it repeat itself with a fadeout. It just seemed the most appropriate way to end the song.
Once again I'm glad you enjoyed the tune, and thanks for the wonderful review. :-)
The funny thing is that I used to watch Inspector Gadget when I was a kid... in French obviously, so once again it's cool to see how it does sound in another language.
Nice voice performance, you managed to literally change your voice tone to a dark and deep scary voice, the illusion is perfect - unless it's your regular voice ;P. It was good for a 6 seconds clip, though I expect to hear a bit more material from you next time.
And I won't comment on the equalisation, you know it all.
*Review Request Club*
Yeah, the six second part was a little banter between myself and Bahamut in the Levelup! Lounge. Basically, it culminated with me recording this first thing on a week day morning, so I recorded it and published it straight away. Not the best thing, I'll admit, but this will change when the new Mic arrives :)
Man I dig this shit! I was impressed by the guitar tone from the very first second, it was very precise sharp. And the bass tone is sexy as fuck, one of the best tone I have ever heard, honestly. Overall, it seems you worked more on the tones than in your previous songs, even though it's a rough mix.
The vocals were fucking great, the first verse reminded me of Dream Theater, something from the previous album, when the drummer and Labrie sing together, it's great! The chorus was catchy as hell, I think it's stuck in my head for this day :P. I love the melody of it and your prog-ish type of voice on it.
The solo was enjoyable as well, the tapping part was killer. Then you don't play too many notes but you just play the right ones so it sounds better than any other speed guitar solo. You should have the copyrights on that lick at 3:18, I think you use it in all your solos haha.
I can't really help for the vocals but I promise I'll send you a melody played on the guitar ifI come up with something interresting. That's one of your best song, no doubt.
4.23 / 5.00 (+ 0.014)
You are right about the solos. haha. I always play that...jump up that bit of that scale sounds 80'ish, but it can lead up to a crescendo or bring down from one. Diverse, yet simple. haha.
Glad you dig it. I'm working pretty hard on all the aspects. :D
ANyways dude, always pleases me to have you stop by and leave your review and <3. You are a kick ass artist, and your support is appreciated. :D

Why Roland Digital Pianos Stand Out

The rhythm, melody, and emotional resonance of music can sync with the rhythm of physical activity, creating a harmonious and immersive atmosphere – and the right playlist can evoke emotions, trigger memories, and set a seductive tone; fostering a deeper connection between partners.
From slow, sensuous ballads to pulsating beats, music can elevate sensations, intensify pleasure, and provide a backdrop for uninhibited self-expression. The shared experience of enjoying music together during intimate moments can create a sense of intimacy and enhance the overall satisfaction of the encounter, turning a private moment into a symphony of passion.
Whether you're planning a cosy night in, or looking to add a dash of passion to your day, curating the perfect playlist can elevate your intimate moments to a whole new level. Here are our top tips for crafting a playlist that sets the mood just right.
Start with the Classics
Begin your auditory journey with timeless classics that have been serenading lovers for generations. From the velvety tones of Sinatra to the sultry melodies of Etta James, these classics provide a nostalgic backdrop to your intimate moments. Let the smooth crooning guide you into a world of romance.
Groove to R&B Vibes
Rhythm and blues have an innate ability to stir the senses. Add some contemporary R&B tracks to your playlist for a modern touch. The soulful vocals and sensual beats create an atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding and connecting on a deeper level. Think artists like Alicia Keys, Miguel, or Sade – their voices are practically made for romantic escapades.
Jazz It Up
For a sophisticated and jazzy twist, infuse your playlist with the smooth sounds of saxophones, pianos, and double bass. Jazz brings an element of unpredictability, much like the journey of love itself. Miles Davis and John Coltrane can transport you to a world where passion flows freely with every note.
Indie Love Anthems
Explore the indie music scene for hidden gems that speak the language of love in a unique way. Indie love anthems often have a raw, unfiltered quality that resonates with authenticity. Artists like Bon Iver, Florence + The Machine, or Angus and Julia Stone can add a contemporary indie flair to your playlist.
Electronica for Modern Romance
For those embracing a more modern, electronic vibe, consider adding some ambient beats to your playlist. Electronic music can create an ethereal atmosphere that heightens the senses. Artists like Tycho or ODESZA offer dreamy soundscapes that make for a unique and immersive experience.
Remember, the key to a perfect intimate playlist is variety. Mix and match genres, experiment with different eras, and most importantly, choose songs that resonate with both of you. Let the music be a reflection of your connection, creating an unforgettable soundtrack to your shared moments. So, dim the lights, press play, and let the music weave its magic – turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. | music_and_dance |

They had written their own song and even choreographed some dance moves to go along with it! They just needed some tools for creating the beats and recording the video. I showed them ButtonBass for making the beats. You can click different cubes at the top of the webpage for different genres. Then click different squares on the cube to add in beats, synthesizers, and even vocal samples. It’s easy to use and no login is required. Other great websites for making music and beats are: Incredibox, Chrome Music Lab, TypeDrummer, and SuperLooper. Next, for recording the video we used Pixect because it has special effects you can add to your video. If you don’t need special effects, another easy-to-use site that let you record video from a webcam is Webcamera.io. Their video turned out great, as you can see here. UPDATE: I included their project, along with another group’s project in my workshop on Creativity.

Renowned for its dynamic interpretations and polished, expansive colors, the group has rapidly distinguished itself as one of the preeminent ensembles of its generation. In demand worldwide, the Quartet has appeared at the world’s most important venues since its founding in 2002.
Following a 2017 summer season that had the ensemble crossing North America for appearances at music festivals including the Bowdoin International Music Festival in Maine, the Strings Music Festival in Colorado, and the Garth Newell Music Center in Virginia, the Parker Quartet will begin its fourth year in-residence at Harvard University with the new prestigious title of Preceptor. The Quartet’s 2017-18 season continues its signature busy schedule with performances and residencies scheduled around the United States, including for the Schubert Club, Skidmore College, St. John’s College, University of South Carolina, Kansas City’s Friends of Chamber Music, and an appearance on the Jukebox series at the Kennedy Center.
Highlights of the 2016-17 season included a January 2017 European tour featuring performances with violist Kim Kashkashian and two concerts in Washington, DC: at the National Gallery of Art and with jazz pianist Billy Childs at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Other performances also included Annapolis Concerts at St. John’s College, the Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concert Series at VCU, and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
Recent highlights include the project “Schubert Effect” in collaboration with pianist Shai Wosner at the 92nd Street Y, the premiere of a new string quartet by American composer Augusta Read Thomas as part of the Quartet’s four-concert series at Harvard University, and appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, the Slee Series in Buffalo, and New York’s Lincoln Center Great Performers series. The Quartet also continues to be a strong supporter of violist Kim Kashkashian’s project Music for Food by participating in concerts throughout the United States for the benefit of various food banks and shelters.
The Parker Quartet has distinguished itself with acclaimed recordings for Nimbus, Zig-Zag Territoires, Innova Records, and Naxos. The Quartet’s most recent recording featuring Mendelssohn’s Quartets Op. 44, No. 1 and 3 was widely lauded by the international press. The Quartet’s debut commercial recording of Bartók’s String Quartets Nos. 2 and 5 for Zig-Zag Territoires (July 2007) won praise from Gramophone: “The Parkers’ Bartók spins the illusion of spontaneous improvisation… they have absorbed the language; they have the confidence to play freely with the music and the instinct to bring it off.” Their Naxos recording of György Ligeti’s complete works for string quartet won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance (the last string quartet to win this category). In 2015, Innova Records released the world premiere recording of American composer Jeremy Gill’s “Capriccio” written for the Quartet through a Chamber Music America commissioning grant. In April 2016 Augusta Read Thomas’s world premiere recording of Helix Spirals for string quartet on “Of Being is a Bird” was released on Nimbus Records.
Recent collaborations include those with acclaimed artists like violist Kim Kashkashian, violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, pianists Anne-Marie McDermott and Shai Wosner, Kikuei Ikeda of the Tokyo String Quartet, clarinetist and composer Jörg Widmann, and clarinetist Charles Neidich.
Founded and currently based in Boston, the Parker Quartet’s numerous honors include winning the Concert Artists Guild Competition, the Grand Prix and Mozart Prize at France’s Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition, and Chamber Music America’s prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award. Now Blodgett Artists-in-Residence at Harvard University’s Department of Music, and also in residence at USC School of Music, the Quartet’s numerous residencies have included serving as Artists-in-Residence at the University of St. Thomas (2012–2014), Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Minnesota (2011– 2012), Quartet-in-Residence with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (2008-2010), and as the first-ever Artists-in-Residence with Minnesota Public Radio (2009-2010).
The Parker Quartet’s members hold graduate degrees in performance and chamber music from the New England Conservatory of Music and were part of the New England Conservatory’s prestigious Professional String Quartet Training Program from 2006–2008. Some of their most influential mentors include the original members of the Cleveland Quartet, Kim Kashkashian, György Kurtág, and Rainer Schmidt. | music_and_dance |

He switches between trumpet, flugelhorn, baritone horn, sax, percussion, synthesizer (glockenspeil, harp, zither, sitar, cow bell, spoons, ...well, you get the idea). This works out well for The CBB because we can have him help out in the sax section. We wait until we we get a number that has a particularly tough sax part, and then we give it to Jan... because we like to watch the expression on his face when he gets to the really fast parts! (Tough crowd, eh?)
When Jan is playing with The Internationals, he adeptly switches between all these instruments, as well as lead and backup vocals (in several languages) and even an occasional yodel. And with all that, he still manages to find the time and coordination required to queue up the spinning lights and fire up the smoke machine (!).
The only thing we don't understand is how to replace the batteries when he finally runs down!! (He didn't come with an operator's manual...) | music_and_dance |

Any educational program designed to promote children’s development in the broadest sense of the word must include a music curriculum because music is one of the defining features of the human species. Engaging in musical behavior, whether as a producer or a listener, individual or group member, is something that characterizes contemporary life for many people across the world. Irrespective of culture, ethnicity or language group, people—particularly the young—engage in musical behavior for significant amounts of time each day. In part, this is because our brains are designed to pay particular attention to the sounds around us, to detect similarities and differences, construct patterns and structures, and infer meanings and to be engaged emotionally in the available soundscapes, especially music. Like spoken and written language, music is processed simultaneously in many different parts of the brain. Musical processing is not an option, for without such hardwired capabilities, mastering other aspects of our sound world, such as language, would be difficult. Not only is music fundamental to our biological and neural makeup, it is embedded in and shapes the social and cultural patterning of our worlds. Music plays an important role in the construction of identity, in our communicative processes, and in the ways in which we negotiate meaning with self and others. By inference, therefore, if education is about nurturing, developing, and seeking to maximize every aspect of our human potential, then opportunities must be provided in any curriculum for participants to engage in musical thought, action, and interaction. Without the inclusion of music, we neglect a basic facet of what it means to be human.
Musical features dominate children’s earliest experiences from prebirth. From the final trimester of fetal life when the auditory systems begin to function, many of the earliest experiences of a world “outside” are musical. This is because the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus transfers the melodic contours, rhythmic patterning, and timbral (sound color), and dynamic (volume) variations of the mother’s voice, as well as the musical features of any sounds in her immediate vicinity. Research suggests, for example, that in the first six months, infants are able to recognize musical works heard initially in utero, indicating a sensitivity and awareness of the distinctive musical features of the music that they encounter, and a capacity to recall these over time. After birth, as infants begin to make their own sounds and to make sense of, and imitate, the sounds around them, pitch, dynamic, timbral, and melodic and rhythmic patterns continue to be significant. For example, the sounds that our caregivers offer as they interact with infants over the first year of life are musical, containing many of the features of the dominant musical culture, including melodic contours, rhythmic patterning, changes in dynamics and timbre, as well as consonant and dissonant musical intervals.
Part of our human design is that children are not just receptive to music (what music psychologists term music perception, or music philosophers term music appreciation or aesthetic perception). They are also born with a range of different ways of making music, what music psychologists term “generative” and “performative” skill development. The terms “generative” and “performative” indicate that children are born with innate capabilities to produce certain kinds of musical behaviors. This is not surprising, given the variety of different centers in the brain that are devoted to musical processing and the range of music experience that they encounter from the earliest moments of life. In particular, children can master aspects of the dominant musical culture(s) through their singing and imitative musical play (performative), as well as being able to create through composing and improvising (generative) patterns of sounds that have recognizable musical features. This may occur through the use of ‘formal’ instruments (including the voice) or other sound-making objects. Importantly, music experience is not solely confined to the auditory: engagement with music in and through movement and dance is a powerful means of developing responsiveness to music and to sensitizing the body and mind to the rhythmic, temporal, and dynamic possibilities of music. In some cultures, the notion of music and movement as separate entities is considered untenable and for many infants their first experiences of music are intimately connected to movement experience as they are rocked to sleep to the accompaniment of a lullaby, or swayed to the pulse of a communal song.
By the time that young children have reached two years of age, they have had considerable enculturated experience of their immediate sound world, alongside many opportunities to make sound as performers and creators. They are also able to notate these musical explorations and creations using written “symbols.” Their experiences often embrace a wide variety of different musical styles and genres, particularly if they have been growing up in a modern culture in which music and sound media are omnipresent, whether at home, at child care, in playgroup, at worship and celebrations, when traveling in the car, or shopping in the local mall. The outcome is an emerging mastery of many of the dominant features of their musical culture. For example, through regular exposure, most two-year-olds are capable of reproducing simple musical phrases of songs from the home environment, including those encountered through electronic media, such as TV, CDs, and radio. Some two-year-olds are able to sing complete songs in-tune because of the rich musical experiences that they have shared with their caregivers. They are also capable of generating their own “songs” that draw on features of songs that they have heard. By this age also, they are already able to express a liking for musical sounds and to be particularly attentive to certain pieces of music.
Environment and culture continue to shape musical experience and development across successive months. Cantonese-speaking children in Hong Kong aged two to five years, for example, use the same pitch centers in conversational speech as when singing their favorite songs. In contrast, their English-speaking peers develop increasingly distinct pitch centers, with conversational speech lower than their chosen pitch for singing. Similarly, while at play, Euro-American and Asian children tend to make much use of melody in their singing, whereas the play of Afro-American children tends to contain greater emphasis on rhythmic chants. Importantly, what constitutes musical experience and development differs across cultural and social groups. Consequently, an understanding of the varying ways in which music experience can be defined, described and valued in different social and cultural settings is crucial for educators.
When given the opportunity to make music using simple instruments, preschool children usually focus on an initial exploration of the sonic possibilities and draw on the characteristic rhythmic, melodic, and dynamic features of their musical cultures. This sound making is intentional as the young child manipulates the chosen instrument in order to make sense of, and enjoy, its particular sonic properties and musical possibilities. Preschool children’s invented song-making, a common feature of young children’s musical experience, draws on musical and textual themes that they encounter in their daily lives. For example, young children may produce “potpourri” songs where elements of a number of known songs are mixed together with original musical and textual ideas. In later work, children tend to abstract elements of known songs (rhythmic, melodic, structural, dynamic), rather then simply reproducing known elements, to produce original “invented” songs.
As mentioned earlier, when provided with the opportunity, young children are also capable of expressing their creative musical ideas in some form of visual symbolization—their own form of musical notation. Typically, initial “invented” notations appear to be scribble-like, before developing with a focus on one particular feature that is perceptually dominant (e.g., dynamic change). With further experience, this develops into a capacity to notate several different musical features at the same time (such as pitch and rhythm). With appropriate structured experience over a relatively short period (three months), preschoolers are capable of developing their notational skills from “scribbles” to more formal symbols that portray distinctive musical features, such as musical pulse (the “beat”) or melodic contour. In preschoolers’ notation of songs, both invented and known, words tend to predominate, but greater notational variation is evidenced when they are asked to notate the same music from an instrumental source. The presence of language (as song text) can sometimes distract from musical features. Through invented notation experiences, preschoolers are able to record and retrieve meaning over time, and to reflect on their own and others’ music making. Such cognitive work assists in shaping musical thought and action for the young child.
While the preschooler’s capacity to “talk” about music may be limited, the lack of a specialized vocabulary does not mean that children are not capable of responding insightfully and appreciatively to music listening experience. Early exposure to, and engaged response with, a range of musical forms and genres provides the building blocks of later musical thought and activity. Through the provision of alternative means of responding other than the verbal, children are able to expand their musical vocabulary and to build incrementally a store of musical patterns and possibilities. Nonverbal responses may include movement and dance, drawing, following music maps visually and kinesthetically, conducting, or tracing the musical contour in the air, on the body, on the ground.
Overall, there is a considerable body of research evidence to indicate that young children are not only able to respond to the music that they encounter, they are also able to reproduce, create, and notate both their own music and components of the music of their dominant musical culture(s). These behaviors are evidenced when opportunities are provided for children to engage in musical exploration and play with a wide range of sound-making artifacts and in a context in which the adults show a keen interest and valuing of children’s musical output, acting as “audience” and as comusic-maker, as well as a source of musical ideas and development activities. Young children are not empty vessels that have to be “filled” with music. They are developing musicians who have already acquired considerable skills and understandings informally and who bring to the music learning environment a depth and richness of experience that is often underestimated.
The early music curriculum, therefore, should provide young children with opportunities to explore, play, and engage with a wide variety of musical activities— as composers, improvisers, listeners, movers and dancers, soloists and group members—that build on their early and continuing informal encounters with music. They should be encouraged to create musical narratives that provide evidence to the teacher/caregiver of emergent musical understanding that can then be deepened and developed through further musical engagement. They should be encouraged to engage consciously with a wide range of musical styles and genres as they build the musical vocabulary that will underpin their future musical development. The underlying pedagogical philosophy is for the teacher (or caregiver in non-school contexts) to act as comusic-maker, guide, facilitator and enabler to the richness of musical cultures, rather than assuming a master-apprentice role in which musical knowledge is simply transferred from expert to novice. Children are musical!

They were signed by WEA/Korova as the Apples in September 1990, on the strength of demo The Apples go to Pip City Via Victoria and All for Under a Fiver!. Shortly afterwards, band became Jefferson Airhead before dropping the ‘Jefferson’ from their name on request of Jefferson Airplane’s record label.
Bow Wow Wow bassist Leigh Gorman was enlisted to produce the band’s first Korova recordings, and the first fruits of these saw the light of day in February 1991 when the sulky, baggy-sounding mid-tempo Congratulations was released. The song’s artwork was similar to 60s-psychedelia-inspired pop art, a theme which continued for all but one Airhead releases. A second single, Scrap happy, followed in May that year as the band’s fanbase continued to grow.
Autumn 1991 saw the release of what is perhaps now the band’s best-known song, Funny how, to good reviews and heavy airplay on BBC Radio 1. Its catchy couplet, ‘It’s funny how the girls you fall in love with never fancy you/Funny how the ones you don’t, do’ ensured it remained a floor-filler at indie discos, and years after the band split up, the BBC chose it as the introductory music on their Match of the Day football programme. Funny how climbed to number 57, the first time Airhead had troubled the top 75 chart.
The band’s commercial peak and biggest singles chart success would be with Counting sheep, the lead single from their debut album. This soaring, poppy 1991 Christmas hit was backed with the standout b-sides from the previous two singles Take my train and Keep the apple, and it even managed to break the top 40 by reaching number 35. This was pre-Britpop in the time when any sort of chart action was seen as a success for bands pigeon-holed as part of the indie genre.
Airhead were offered a session for BBC Radio 1, so in early January 1992 they duly visited the famous Maida Vale studios in London to record four tracks for Mark Goodier’s Evening Session programme.
The broadcast of the session later that month co-incided with the release of sparkling debut album Boing!!, which collected together the band’s four singles so far and six new songs. Produced by George Shilling, it garnished great reviews in the music press and peaked in the album chart at number 29.
A final single was lifted from the album in March that year. Right now was to be the bands third and last top 75 hit, reaching number 50.
Between the release of Right now and the end of 1992 the band split, as Michael wanted to get out of the Korova deal and go it alone. He recruited Roger Wells (bass) and Sam (drums) and the three went to Falconer Studios, London, in March 1993 to record new material, self-produced by Michael.
The results of these sessions appeared in record stores in August 1993 as the That’s enough EP. The three tracks showcased on this CD/10″ showed a darker, brooding and somewhat broken Michael over a less poppy arrangement. The EP wasn’t a commercial success, and although there were more gigs, with no record deal the writing was on the wall.
Band members have cropped up in various other acts since then, but fans of Airhead can’t help feel the long term-promise shown by the much-loved debut album (which commands £15-30 when it crops up on internet auction sites) was never fulfilled.
In June 2007, a campaign was launched with music journalist Joel McIver to get Boing!! reissued.
Comments have also been left on this website from band members regarding a possible reunion…Sam: We’ve all been shocked to see how many people still remember the band and its great to hear how much the album was enjoyed.
I’ve been in touch with Mike and Steve recently to invite them both to my wedding (Mike and Ben will definitely have to turn up as their both ushers). I’m hoping to persuade them to bring their instruments along so we can bash out a few songs.
Ben has been forcing his kids to listen to Boing for years and they know all the words to Funny How, so I guess that’s as good a reason as any to play at the wedding.
Thanks again for visiting the site and leaving comments.
Ben: It’s not a matter of motivation to do some gigs, it’s more a problem of logistics. We all live in different areas now, have jobs etc and I’ve got 2 young kids so getting together for rehearsals let alone gigs would take a lot of organising.
It’s certainly not something I’d rule out and it’d probably be good fun etc but I really can’t speak for the other guys. Sam’s wedding is definitely an opportunity to see how it works on a small scale so who knows?
Boing!! on iTunes
In October 2012, Airhead’s debut album Boing!! was made available on iTunes.
Vocals and guitar
Bass (to 1992)
Roger Wells played bass 1992-93.
Sam and Ben were also in The Popinjays.
Michael and Sam were also in Spike, and recorded a session for John Peel in November 1994 (download it here).
Roger was in Resque.
Sam plays drums with Wonderhorse (also see Channel 4) and is now a photographer who has worked for Time Out in London. He was also the subject if the identity parade in an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks in 2004.
It is believed that some members were in a band called Inswinger in the mid-1990s.
The producer of the band’s early singles, Leigh Gorman, now lives in Hollywood.
The producer of Boing!!, George Shilling, is still based in the UK. | music_and_dance |

- Look out for song inspiration
- Write the lyrics
- Choose some cool chords
- Add melody and rhythm
- Write a song chorus
- Write a song verse
- Create a song structure
- Play and practice the whole song
- Record your song
- Practice, practice, practice
1. Look out for song inspiration
If you’re a singer
Notice topics and situations you want to sing about. Note down phrases, lines, and emotions that come to your head. What do singers you admire sing about? Analyse their lyrics to see how the songs are structured.
If you’re an instrumentalist
Do you play guitar, bass, drums, piano, sax or another instrument? Start looking for inspiration everywhere. Which songs do you like? What makes them special? How are the chords, the melody, and the rhythm?
2. Write the lyrics
Choose a clear topic the audience can relate to. That way people can deeply connect with your music. What could be a good topic for a song?
- Love is always a good topic and worked for many amazing songs: Falling in love, pain in love, breakups, fights, future plans and more.
- An experience you had – a bad or a good one
- Your opinion on something
- Another idea or line that came to your mind
There are two ways to write a song’s lyrics.
Method 1: Write the text first.
You can go around the world collecting ideas until you have a text ready. Attach it then to a melody. You can get inspired wherever you are. Simply write down your ideas on paper or your phone.
Method Nr. 2: Get inspired by instrumentals & beats.
Listen to the music for a while, allow inspiration for ideas. Then write some lyrics over it. Either you know some musicians that like to jam with you. Or you play some instrument yourself. Or you can check the backing tracks on sofasession to test lyrics impro:
Also on the blog: How to master improvisation like a pro?
3. Choose some cool chords
You play an instrument and wonder how to write a song? We want to show you a way we use.
Play a chord you like.
It might be a simple chord like C, E, F or G. Check out which other chords fit and sound nice. If you start with an E chord, the subdominant A and dominant B will fit quite well. Just a tip for the start.
Experiment and get ideas.
Collect every combination of chords that sounds good together. Let your creativity flow. Check out what you like. Check this article for some guitar progression inspiration.
Get inspired by others.
Sometimes you get the best ideas when you’re playing with other musicians. You can do the same by playing along to some backing tracks. Use this 1000+ backing track libraryto get started:
4. Add melody and rhythm
Experiment with rhythm and melodies.
You have thousands of options to play your cool chords. If you play them faster, change quicker or use a melody on top changes the song mood completely.
Record music ideas right away.
Save chords or melodies you like. Play along with them to find more ideas. You can record multi-track songs on our platform for free. That way other users can also contribute to your song and give you new input. Create your new song now.
5. How to write a song chorus
The chorus is the hook of each song, a part well remembered. So it’s worth investing some time here.
Start to gather ideas for the hook and/or the lyrics. Just as in #3, check what sounds nice. An E-A-H-E chords combo will wound differently than an E-A-E-H-E-E-A.
Don’t judge your ideas too early.
Not every word you write down has to be perfect. Not every chord you play has to be the final one. Collect everything and pick, what is more catchy.
Pick one of the ideas.
You have some ideas now, now pick the best. A helpful tip is to focus on ONE text /melody idea. How do you feel when you think about it? Notice all thoughts and emotions. Make them part of the song.
6. How to write a song verse
A verse tells more about your situation or feeling than the chorus. So think further. What details are there? What different scenarios? How did the situation develop? What might happen in the future?
Think again about harmony, melody, and rhythm. Do you want to play the same chords as in chorus? Do you want to have a new melody for the guitar or vocals? How should the rhythm be compared to the chorus? Think also about dynamics. A huge dynamics contrast between chorus and verse can change a lot.
7. Create a song structure
Whenever you have a good chorus, a melody, and a text it’s time to structure them.
Order of chorus and verse
Do you want to stick to the famous verse / chorus / verse / chorus / bridge / chorusstructure? Or turn it all in a new way? Think about it.
How do you want your song to sound?
Do you want a strong contrast between chorus and verse or a small difference? Classically, the chorus is played and sung on higher notes than the verse. Think of your song as a building people enter. What should they see first, what sh0uld come later?
8. Play and practice the whole song
Practice the song
You already have some great lyrics, a chorus and verse ready. You thought about the structure and created additional song parts. Connect the parts and play them a bit.
It’s ok if your song is not the next genius #1 hit already
There is no need to judge your song too much at this point! Save whatever you’ve got so far and come back to it later. With a fresh mind and after you’ve had some time for the song to settle.
9. Record your song
Recording now is not professional, but just makes sure, you won’t loose the new song. So best options are:
- Smartphone: Record yourself while you’re playing and singing your new song
- Computer: Use free programs like AudioRecorder, PhotoBooth, QuickTime Player or others or multi-track recorder if you want to go deep. Check these tips for recording at home if you’re a beginner.
- sofasession: Record an idea by clicking “create a song” in the backstage area. Create multi-tracks to record instruments separately. If you make it public, other users can contribute and help your song grow. You can also send the link to friends and band mates. This is how your recording screen looks like.
10. Practice, practice, practice
As every other form of writing, songwriting is a skill. It is not something that falls from the sky one morning. Practice it often and you’ll become better each day. Promised!
And that’s it. Those are our tips on how to write a song for beginners. Now it’s up to you to put them into practice. Comment below if you liked the tips or have something to add. Send us the link to your new song and we’ll feature you on our channels.

I had originally planned for it to come out late 2018. The recording process has taken a bit longer than expected, but with a full time job, a 5 year old and a 2 year old (and a very understanding wife) it’s been harder to find time. Weekends, late in the evenings, or before everyone gets up are the times when I can squeeze some work in.
Drum recording started in March 2017 with my friend Tripp Dudley. He is a touring musician so we didn’t have much time to rehearse - but he was in between tours for a week in March, 2017, so we went to the studio on a Friday evening and a full Saturday and managed to get 9 songs in. The opening and closing tracks are both over 10 minutes (and feature some complex sections) but we managed to get it all done. Most of Friday evening we spent setting up the sound we wanted - and even tracked a few tunes. After that I spent a month selecting all my favorite takes from the drum recording and sent the tracks out to the Bass player and started recording guitars in the summer of 2017.
Most tunes have 2 clean guitar tracks, 2 heavy guitars, and a lead guitar. On some of them I decided to double the lead as well or play additional melody lines. I used my Fender DeVille and my VOX going into a 1X12 box. I also used some modeling amps for some of the sections.
Tripp Dudley came back for Tabla and percussion recording in October and Eric Allen finished his Cello parts by the end of October 2017. My good friend Ian O’Brien (whose artist name is Fastus) created the modular synth parts on the album. He was very much part of listening to the tracks from the beginning and helped shape it along the way. The final musical pieces has gone through multiple layers of addition and subtraction.
The bass was recorded by Chris Kelly at his studio, Studio Del Diablo. Finally, the flute was done by my friend Katie Thode in November 2017. We had roughly 5-6 hours to finish 5 pieces. All recording was done at my work at Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema where I manage the studios and post production facility. It was a bit hectic because I was engineering and producing at the same time, but am really happy how everything sounds. Before we recorded I made sure that I heard it as close to the finished “demo” as possible. Obviously there is no comparison between a real instrument and most MIDI / Virtual instruments out there - so after a year of hearing a fake cello or flute it was great to hear it with the real deal.
Mixing was done last November (2018) by Rocky Gallo at Virtue and Vice studios in Brooklyn. We ended up mixing over two days - right during the NY Marathon. Mastering finished up late March 2019 by Mike Kalajian at Rogue Planet Mastering in Hudson, New York.
Musically this is really about exploration and experiments with musical themes and styles.

Study abroad? Well there has been some studying, but most of what I have learned has come from sources other than the institution of which I am enrolled. Extracurricular activities such as teaching, volunteering and adventuring have brought about some grand realizations, although, I require a significant amount of reflection time before I am comfortable sharing such findings. However, in response to my friends and family who are curious about my recent activities I will give a glimpse into my Indian life.
Student teaching has been quite an experience. I am working with the Hyderabad foundation for western music, and recently completed a course in music theory and ear training. The students came from many different backgrounds and levels of musicianship and there was a wide range of age difference from eight to eighty! The most interesting observation on my part was how the students interacted with me. Despite my 'easy-going' attitude and demeanor, the students were very hesitant to speak in class and at first they never even asked any questions. "This is an interactive experience" I would tell them, "I am not the only teacher in the room. We all have something to learn from each other, including me!"
I spent a lot of time with the students outside of class, either in a formal tutoring session or just a casual chat over chai. In this way, I was given insight into how most teachers are perceived in India. "They never admit fault" one student told me, "and they perceive any question as a challenge to their authority and intelligence." With this understanding I continually altered my teaching style, slowing giving more and more student independence with the material; reinforcing the idea that they are teaching themselves and I am only a guide and eventually they were even interrupting me with questions! In the last session, I asked the students for a teacher evaluation (a foreign concept to them), and in reading the responses I have decided I would like to continue teaching. It would seem that I hone my entertainer persona whenever I get in front of a large group of people, as they all gave remarks about being thoroughly engaged for the full two hour session each week.
I have also been directing a choir. The manager of the choir contacted me when she heard there was an American music teacher in Hyderabad. They had suddenly lost their conductor and were in need of finding a replacement. I informed them of my experience with instrumental ensembles, and that although I have sung in several choirs I have certainly never directed one. Despite my lack of experience, they were eager to have me on board. The music had already been selected and is predominately, much to my surprise, church music. Even though have no experience with liturgical music I decided I should still give it a shot. I am learning so much in working with this group who, much like the music class, have a wide range of skill sets and span across many different age groups. Our concerts will be on the 3rd and 5th of December and we will be performing several Latin American folk songs, a Hindi lullaby, some Christmas tunes and Gloria from Mozart's Coronation Mass.
My research has brought me to the Hindustani Shastriya Sangeet, an ancient Indian text which discusses aspects of music theory and aesthetics. The nava rasa theory states that music (and other art forms) have several predetermined rasas (moods or sentiments) which can bring about or alter the audience's emotional state. To test this theory several musical excerpts have been selecting from a wide range of musical styles, each with their own expected emotional response. The audience is asked to answer a few questions regarding their level of musical engagement. They are then given the option of selecting which emotion best describes the musical excerpts provided.
I conducted the research project during the SIP (study India program) cultural show, of which I was also an MC! What?! (more of the entertainer persona). The project lives on as I have landed a sponsor, Creative India, for my research in Chennai at the IndiEarth music and arts festival. The dates are the 6th, 7th and 8th of December so Ill be hopping a train immediately after the choir performance and arriving for the first day of the festival. Yowza! After that Ill be bouncing around India for a while with no solid plans until my mother and sister arrive to visit. Yay! We will travel around a bit and celebrate Christmas together.
I hope all is well with everyone everywhere. Sending love to all my friends in America, Europe, India and all other places in the universe. | music_and_dance |

Additional material, based on the classic Airwolf theme, is also included in this unique compendium. All tracks are designed and arranged to closely resemble the unforgettable sound of the original TV series composed by Sylvester Levay.

Do you want to try a new instrument? Looking to advance your violin playing skills?
Open to students aged 4 and up!
Teaching Philosophy I believe that learning music should be a positive experience, and that learning to play an instrument greatly enhances the quality of one’s life. Learning to play a musical instrument before the age of seven has been shown to improve connections between the two hemispheres of the brain (source), and there are many other benefits to learning to play music, from reading and improving math skills to teamwork and responsibility. For more benefits of music playing, see this list: https://www.learningliftoff.com/ten-benefits-of-music-education-for-students/. While teaching you or your child how to play the violin, I will also incorporate musicianship skills such as music theory, technique, ear training, and sight-reading. Above all, I will always maintain a positive learning environment. I will be using a combination of Suzuki method techniques and other methods (such as Mimi Zweig and Paul Rolland principles) and repertoire. Beginning students (who don't already know how to read music) will start learning by rote but I will also teach them to read music soon after starting the instrument.
Background When I was four years old I asked my parents for violin lessons and that Christmas there was a tiny violin under the tree! I believe every child should get to experience the joy of playing a musical instrument. I am a professional freelance violinist with a bachelor's degree in Violin Performance from Miami University and a master's degree in Violin Pedagogy from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I play the violin for weddings, funerals, religious holidays, and other events. I have also released a Christmas album titled Snowfall, which is available on iTunes and Amazon mp3. Check out the videos tab for videos of me playing the violin, including a timelapse video from when I first started the violin.
Contact me for my location in Cincinnati, 45248 zip code.
My lesson rates are $20/half hour, $30/45 minutes, $40/hour. Beginning students usually start with half hour lessons. This does not include materials (such as the sheet music, which you can order or I can order and bill you for).
Lessons can be paid for at the start of each month, or before each individual lesson.
Cancellation policy: if I need to cancel (for example, if I get sick) or if you need to cancel and notify me at least 24 hours in advance, there is no fee. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, you will still need to pay the lesson fee. Makeup lessons can be scheduled depending on availability.
Recitals: There will be a $20 accompanist fee for recitals, which covers a piano accompanist playing with the student at the recital and rehearsing with the student in the lesson proceeding the recital. If you the parent are also a pianist, you are welcome to accompany your child instead if you prefer.
Expectations: Practicing and Parental Support
Each lesson, the student will be expected to bring their violin and bow, rosin, a notebook, a pencil, and any music books that they have been assigned to work on.
In lessons, I will be engaging with the student to create an inspiring, positive learning environment, and I will take notes in the notebook on what they need to work on for the next week.
For young students under the age of 13, I request that the parent attend the lesson with them to observe what the student is working on and to be able to practice with the student at home. Practicing should occur at least 5 times a week and should be about the same amount of time as their lesson. We will talk about how to practice effectively in the lessons.
I hope that parents will use a positive approach to motivating their students to practice, such as suggesting that they do not do other activities such as use electronics until their practicing is complete. This way, practicing is immediately rewarded with something they enjoy rather than just becoming a chore.
Acquiring the Instrument Violins come in different sizes for children and I recommend renting an instrument from a local violin shop rather than buying an instrument, as the student will grow out of their instruments until they reach a full size violin. It is very difficult to play on a violin that is too big for you, so it's important to get the right size.
After the student gets their initial violin size, I will be able to tell when it's time to move up to the next size. Also in my experience, if the student is frustrated by the tone of their small violin, it can be greatly improved by purchasing a set of Dominant strings, which I am able to put on the instrument. If you decide to buy a set of strings, be sure to buy the correct size!
You will also need to make sure you have rosin and a violin sponge. I use violin sponges rather than shoulder rests with my students because they allow for more freedom of movement when playing, and you should be able to get these at the violin shop as well. I will also have some options in stock so we can find the most comfortable fit for each student.
Studio Calendar The studio calendar page will list when I am out of town.
If you or your child are interested in violin lessons this semester, contact me with any questions and to set up a lesson time! | music_and_dance |

Just as there was an allure to Marilyn Monroe that fascinated men and women, The Marilyn Guitar has also had its share of suitors and admirers. Johnson first recognized the appeal his guitar could hold over rock 'n' roll royalty when he entered the guitar in a contest sponsored by the legendary Frank Zappa, who was looking for the perfect "It Girl".
Frank Zappa met and signed the Marilyn Guitar, becoming the first of many stars who would make their mark on the well-traveled instrument. In the years that followed, Johnson would acquaint numerous stars with The Marilyn Guitar: Keith Richards, Angus Young, Chrissie Hynde, Rick Nielsen and many others. The Marilyn Guitar opened backstage doors to rock legends, who wanted to put their hands on this one-of-a-kind treasure.
With a full slate of famous and talented musicians now marking the back of Johnson's guitar, he felt it was time to bring Marilyn to a larger audience by making available a limited number of reproductions. Using a revolutionary investment method called Crowd Funding to attract investors, he will soon begin creating 100 reproductions of The Marilyn Guitar to sell to loyal fans of Marilyn Monroe and rock music enthusiasts. | music_and_dance |

Last October, the New Yorker magazine called Tulsa Opera “one of the sturdier and more adventurous companies in its class” and the Tulsa World called our production of Dead Man Walking “the best best production Tulsa Opera has staged in more than a decade.” We are excited to be raising the curtain on another season of amazing singing and productions passionately prepared by our talented staff, musicians and crew.
We open the season October 13th with The Daughter of the Regiment, one of Gaetano Donizetti’s lesser known but most entertaining works. Last October Tara Faircloth’s staging of The Barber of Seville received such a great audience response that we decided to open this season with a production in a similar vein, directed again by her. Sarah Coburn, the incomparable bel canto stylist, gives her first performance in the title role. Tenor Greg Schmidt brings his thrilling top to the famous aria of the nine high C’s. The irrepressible Peter Strummer returns as Sergeant Sulpice, and Grammy-nominated mezzo-soprano Dorothy Byrne makes her Tulsa Opera debut AND gives the final performance of a long and illustrious career as the Marquise de Berkenfield.
In February, Tulsa Opera joins some of the nation’s most prestigious opera companies in exploring the treasures of classic American musical theatre with the Tulsa premiere of “the most operatic work written for Broadway”. The Most Happy Fella, by Guys and Dolls composer Frank Loesser, features such favorite tunes as “Standing on the Corner” and “Big D”. The cast is led by Metropolitan Opera baritone and University of Oklahoma professor Kim Josephson as an aging Italian-American vineyard owner who falls in love with a young waitress. Legendary stage director Dorothy Danner guides this exciting venture into the realm of Broadway.
In 2013, the world of opera celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi. Beyond being a great melodist, Verdi was a profound dramatist who is often compared with Shakespeare for the dramatic power of his works and for his understanding and compassion for the human condition. We join the celebrations with a production of Aida, last seen in Tulsa in 1997. In the title role is soprano phenomenon Amber Wagner, whose debut performances in Lohengrin at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 2011 took the opera world by storm. She will be joined by a Tulsa Opera favorite, mezzo-soprano Dana Beth Miller, as Amneris and former Tulsa Opera Studio Artist Brian Landry as Radames. We also welcome back dancers of the Tulsa Ballet II, choreographer Ma Cong, and singers from the Tulsa Oratorio Chorus.
Tulsa Opera, at 65, is more vivacious, vibrant and vital than ever. I hope you join us for all three productions, and that our performances not only delight your eyes and ears, but touch your heart, take you by surprise and reveal something new.Kostis Protopapas, Artistic Director Tulsa Opera | music_and_dance |

The songs we weave tell tales of myth and legend and the old beliefs of our lands and peoples. Our music is timeless, evocative of earlier, simpler times. The instruments reflect our love of forgotten timbres - we play english & swedish bagpipes, woodwinds and recorders, the medieval hurdy-gurdy, mandola and laùd, and a host of percussion.
Brocc's songs and tunes are mostly original, with some traditional material in our own distinctive arrangements. You can hear some on our music page.
We are the masked troubadours - watch out we are masked and dangerous!
13 Moons - Review
13 Moons is the first full length album of a band with a very distinctive look and sound. The album was recorded and produced by Pete "peewee" Coleman - more usually noted for his work with bands such as AC/DC, The Charlatans and Echo and the Bunnymen - on his label PipeDream Music.
"There is something of the original Wicker Man soundtrack in the vocal arrangements - the earth magic content of the lyrics, too, call to mind Summerisle. However the gallimuafry of exotic instruments conjures up an altogether more complex vision with echoes of Gryphon and their ilk.
"When the album arrived, we were instantly in love with it"
Herne - Wyldwood Radio
"A sonic smorgasbord of songs and dance tunes comprising Flemish and Swedish pipes, various whistles, harp, bouzouki and hurdy-gurdy strings, assorted percussion and glorious vocals, serving up a medieval, neo-pagan, traditional, and Cornish/Welsh Celtic musical feast! Delicious! "
Len Holton - From Albion and Beyond (KUAR FM89)
"Beautiful, magical, enchanting. 13 Moons is evocative of the inherent magic in the British Isles. A wonderful blend of both traditional and entirely new songs. A must have for fans of British folk music."
Herne and Nemetona - Wyldwood Radio.
"Magical and mysterious, musically exquisite and enchanting"
Karen Kay (faeryevents.com)
Hallr - vocals, english and swedish bagpipes, willow flute, acoustic bass, recorders & bazouki.

Fans drawn in by Luke Bryan’s boyish, down-home charm soon discover what’s behind it: an intelligent wit, an off-the-wall sense of humor and a unique take on life. They also soon discern that he is a talented triple threat vocalist, songwriter and musician.
Bryan had his first guitar by age 14, by age 16, he was regularly writing songs and leading his own band. His intention was to move to Nashville and pursue a music career after his high school graduation. Sadly, fate had other plans. The day he was scheduled to move, his older brother, Chris, was killed.
Bryan immediately scrapped his career plans, choosing instead to stay with his family. He continued to write and play music, and eventually enrolled at Georgia Southern University. It was there that Bryan’s talents really blossomed.
Even before his first single, “All My Friends Say,” had been sent to country radio, Bryan was earning significant media attention, including being named one of Billboard magazine’s new faces to watch in 2007. At the same time, his second major cut as a songwriter—Billy Currington’s “Good Directions”—was quickly climbing the country charts and eventually hit the top spot.
Bryan signed with Capitol Records Nashville in 2004 and released his debut album, I’ll Stay Me, in August of 2007.
“We Rode in Trucks” (Luke Bryan/Roger Murrah/Jim McCormick)
“This song is probably the most representative of me as an artist because it talks about growing up in Georgia. We wrote the song probably about a month after I arrived in Nashville.
I wasn’t sure if it would make the album, but I just woke up one night and said, ‘If I do not put this song on the album, I wouldn’t be able to call it my first album.’
We get so many compliments on the song, and what’s neat is we’ll do it in New York or Portland or anywhere we are, and people say ‘Ah, that takes me back.’ That’s the best compliment in the world when you can get people from the big city to like such a rural type of song.”
I’ll Stay Me is out NOW and available everywhere! | music_and_dance |

I thought I'd use today's post to introduce people to a wonderful little neighborhood performing arts theater here in Midway. dreamland arts, on Hamline Avenue, just south of Minnehaha, opened in 2006. In addition to its 40-seat theater, Dreamland also offers classes, workshops and performances in theater, music, puppetry, dance and more. What I really love is the commitment of the owners to bringing arts to the community and that their house is physically connected to the studio theater. So next time you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for supporting some local artists, checkout dreamland arts. | music_and_dance |

Beginning their singing careers as teenagers, Mike and his cousin, Brian Wilson, frequently sang at family get-togethers and holiday gatherings. These early influences served as the inspiration to form the legendary group, The Beach Boys, which first consisted of Mike and his cousins, Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson along with neighbor David Marks and High School friend Alan Jardine.
In the fall of 1961, Mike wrote the lyrics and melody to The Beach Boys’ first song, “Surfin’,” along with Brian Wilson. This led to the signing of the band by Capitol Records. Following the song’s debut, Mike and his cousin Brian went on to co-author numerous tracks, which included eleven Top 10 singles in the first five years of the band. Hit after hit, Mike created many of the concepts, and wrote or co-wrote the lyrics and hooks to several of the most performed songs in pop music history including: “Good Vibrations,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Surfin’ Safari,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Do It Again,” “Kokomo” and the incomparable “California Girls,” which featured Bruce Johnston’s debut vocal recording as a member of The Beach Boys.
For more than fifty years, Mike Love has been the lead singer and front man of The Beach Boys, taking the sounds of America’s band to every corner of the globe. His distinctive and iconic vocal range is synonymous with fast-paced rock ‘n’ roll tracks, as well as many of the band’s softer ballads. Mike’s vocal versatility is central to many of the bands signature hits including: “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Little Deuce Coupe,” “Be True to Your School,” “Little Saint Nick,” “When I Grow Up (To Be a Man),” “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “That’s Not Me.” Beyond his unique persona and sound as the lead singer, Mike’s dynamic bass vocals provided the foundation of the group and anchored the legendary Beach Boys harmonies. Love’s voice is a style of its own. He combines his steady bass/baritone with a whimsical intonation— indicative of the ultra-cool, self-confidence and innocence of the early 1960s.
In December of 1967, The Beach Boys were invited to Paris to perform at a benefit for UNICEF. The curtain opened to a very distinguished front row including Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, George Harrison and John Lennon. At Maharishi’s invitation, Mike, along with Carl, Alan and Dennis were initiated into the practice of Transcendental Meditation. Mike was profoundly affected by the first meditation experience, stating, “If enough people were to practice TM, the world would be a better place.” He continues to practice TM today and supports organizations such as the David Lynch Foundation, which promote the vast benefits of Transcendental Meditation.
In 1985, Mike Love had an idea to perform two shows to celebrate July 4th: The Beach Boys would play Philadelphia during the day and the Washington D.C. Mall later that evening. This resulted in record breaking attendance— with The Beach Boys performing live for over 1.5 million people in a single day.
In 1988, Mike and the other members of The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, Mike co-wrote the #1 hit “Kokomo,” with John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas, and producer Terry Melcher. This was 22 years after Mike co-authored the Beach Boys’ #1 hit of the 60’s, “Good Vibrations,”— marking the longest span of time between number one records of any artist in music history. Both “Good Vibrations” and “Kokomo” were nominated for Grammy® awards. “Kokomo” was also nominated for a Golden Globe® Award. In 2001, the band was the recipient of the Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 1990, Mike was the first artist to respond to President George H. W. Bush’s call for service as part of the Thousand Points of Light Initiative. Mike began StarServe, “Students Taking Action and Responsibility to Serve,” enlisting high profile celebrities to inspire young people to serve their communities. More than twenty years later, Mike continues his commitment to young people. For his work in continued education, Mike was the recipient of the 2013 Seven Generations Award by City Year, a national education organization that identifies at risk students and encourages them to reach their full potential through mentorship. Mike is also a founding member of the Surfrider Foundation, and a longtime supporter of environmental causes. In 1992, Mike was a speaker at the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, and again on Earth Day 2000 on the Mall in Washington, D.C. In 2002, Love proudly carried the Olympic torch for the Salt Lake City, UT Olympic Games.
In 2012, Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks reunited for their 29th studio album, That’s Why God Made The Radio, and The Beach Boys’ 50th Anniversary Tour.
Throughout his career, Mike has co-authored more than a dozen Top 10 Singles, cementing The Beach Boys legacy, alongside The Beatles and Michael Jackson, as the only artists to have produced twelve Top 10 Singles, within 5 years.
Today, Love is happily married to Jacquelyne, and is the proud father of eight children. Mike primarily resides on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. He continues to enjoy life on the road, performing over 100 sold-out shows a year all over the world. The endless summer will continue in 2014 as The Beach Boys celebrate fifty years of Fun, Fun, Fun… | music_and_dance |

“Joseph’s the champion, my friend! He’s one of the few around the world who can do the mercurial legendary QUEEN vocalist justice, with panache, style and the glory that was Freddie Mercury in full roar.”
The New York Times
“Daily News, Durban”
Live Theatre UK
“Singer Joseph Clark is phenomenal...”
Cape Time (SAF)
“Not only does he possess the voice, he also exudes sheer charisma and energy that puts him on par with the late Mercury himself”. “This is no copycat ‘tribute’ show in which all the usual hits are rehashed and regurgitate.” “If you’re seeking a concert that showcases the versatility and range of Freddie Mercury and Queen, interpreted in a dynamic style by the cream of SA’s musicians, then you’ll be dumbstruck by The Music Of Queen.”
Official website: www.josephclark.co.za
Even if you are not a Queen fan, this is the show to convert you. Joseph Clark will take you on a roller coaster ride with his powerful renditions of some of the greatest songs ever written, including classics like We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, We are the Champions, I Want to Break Free, Under Pressure, Who Wants To Live Forever, Bohemian Rhapsody and many more.
But, Queen is not all about rock ‘n roll. The group crossed all musical genres with rock, ballads, anthems, pops, blues, jazz, classical, musical comedy and even disco!
The line-up of songs, is like no other 'Queen show' in the world. Joseph Clark and his band will 'whoo' you with songs like You Take My Breath Away, Is This The World We Created, Get Down - Make Love, Killer Queen, Too Much Love Will Kill You, Innuendo, Sleeping On The Sidewalk, Mother Love, Made In Heaven and more!
Some of the songs they are covering, have never been performed live! These songs were recorded by Freddie before he passed away and no other artist has been or is currently performing this magnitude of jewels from Queen!
Director, Elzette Maarschalk says this is not just another QUEEN/Freddie Mercury look-alike show, although one can’t get past the strong on-stage resemblance, physically and vocally between Clark and the iconic Mercury. | music_and_dance |

Singer/guitarists Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein first met in 1992, when Tucker was one half of the duo Heavens to Betsy. Brownstein, a classically trained pianist, was so inspired by Tucker and other grrrl musicians like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile (not coincidentally Tucker's own influences) that she formed her own band, Excuse 17, a year later. Sleater-Kinney, which earned its name from a local freeway off-ramp, initially began as Tucker and Brownstein's side project. Things changed in late 1994, though, when Australia-born Lora MacFarlane signed on as the group's first permanent drummer. Over the course of the following two weeks, the trio recorded its self-titled 1995 debut for Chainsaw, a label run by Team Dresch bassist Donna Dresch.
Upon its release, the album earned widespread acclaim for its visceral intensity as well as the group's passionate vocals, intricate melodies, and provocative, politically charged lyrics. With 1996's Call the Doctor, Sleater-Kinney garnered even greater media exposure and critical applause on the strength of their incisive rants against gender inequity, consumerism, and indie rock's male-dominated hierarchy. Their Kill Rock Stars label debut, Dig Me Out, recorded with new drummer Janet Weiss from Quasi, followed in 1997, and was again among the most acclaimed releases of its season; The Hot Rock appeared two years later, and in the spring of 2000, Sleater-Kinney resurfaced with All Hands on the Bad One.
In August 2002, the group returned with its most musically accomplished record to date, One Beat. Sleater-Kinney upped the ante again with 2005's The Woods, a powerful, inventive album that was released by Sub Pop, produced by Dave Fridmann, and inspired by, among other things, the political climate of the mid-2000s and the freedom of the improvised parts of their gigs supporting Pearl Jam on a 2003 tour. During the summer of 2006, though, the group announced they were going on an "indefinite hiatus" after finishing the remaining dates on their tour. Brownstein went on to create the Spells and Wild Flag with Mary Timony, and Corin Tucker launched a solo career in 2010. Late in 2013, the group reunited during the Portland stop on Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt tour, joining them to perform a cover of Neil Young's "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World." The following year, Sleater-Kinney's albums were remastered and reissued, and the limited-edition set Start Together -- which featured the newly recorded song "Bury Our Friends" -- was released. Late in 2014, Sleater-Kinney announced that they had recorded a new album, No Cities to Love, which was set to arrive in January 2015. | music_and_dance |

Q: When does band meet?
A: Band is during the school day! Students attend weekly band lessons with their instrument group during their specials. Students take band lessons instead of regular music class, and if they miss another special for lessons they will make it up, so they never miss PE, STEM (library) or art. Students will be given a monthly calendar to keep track of their lesson days. The lesson schedule goes by the specials A-E schedule, NOT by day of the week, so students must keep track of their calendars!
Full band rehearsals are also once a week during the school day.
Q: When are the concerts?
A: We have 2 concerts per year, and they are held at Lakeside Middle School Auditorium. This year our concerts are Thursday, December 19th at 6:00pm and Thursday, May 21st at 6:00pm. Concert attendance is mandatory for all band students!
Q: Does my child have to practice at home?
A: Yes! Because I only see band students twice a week, it is VERY important that they practice at home! Each student gets a practice log for their parents to sign. They should be practicing 3 times per week for 15 minutes each time. The child must be responsible for bringing their instrument to/from school for lessons and band.
Q: What instruments can my child play?
A: Students have a choice of flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and percussion. We “mouthpiece test” all of the instruments to find the ones that will be the best fit for your student, and I will make a recommendation based on that testing. Percussionists must audition by reading a rhythm and clapping a steady beat. I want to make sure your student can start off with the best chance of success possible!
Q: How do I get an instrument for my child?
A: I have a limited number of school instruments available for students to borrow. Depending on how many students register for band, these are loaned on a first-come, first-serve basis, free of charge. If the instrument your child selected is no longer available, you can rent one from our company of choice, Coles Music (www.colesmusicservice.com) or supply one that you already own. **I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING AN INSTRUMENT IN 4th GRADE!** We want to make sure your child is going to continue playing the instrument beyond the 4th grade before you make that commitment! If you do choose to purchase, I encourage you to speak with me first to get a list of recommended brands. There are a lot of inexpensive brands out there that seem great, but those instruments break easily and are expensive or impossible to repair. (see back for more information)
Q: What if my child wants to quit band?
A: Unless there are special circumstances, band students should finish out the entire school year! There are a couple of reasons I do not like to let students leave band halfway through the year: 1.) Many students go through an “I want to quit” phase halfway through the school year because they are over the initial excitement of the instrument, but they haven’t learned enough skills to really start making music at a satisfying level. I encourage them to stick with it, because by the end of the year most students come around and really enjoy being able to make great music! 2.) One of the most valuable lessons band students learn is a sense of responsibility and commitment, and this lesson will carry them through many obstacles in life! I ask that you join me in teaching them the importance of following through with the commitment they make to you, to me, to themselves, and to their fellow band members when they sign up to play in band.
Q: How do I sign my child up for band?
A: Beginning the first full week of school, I will be visiting all 4th grade students in their music classes, and at that time if they are interested in band and/or chorus I will send them home with paperwork to be signed and returned. **All paperwork will be sent home between September 9-13, and due back no later than September 20th. Please keep an eye out for these papers!**
Q: My child loves music! Can my child do both and and chorus?
A: YES, students can do both band and chorus! They meet at different times, so they can enjoy being a part of both groups. We encourage students to do both - singing makes instrumentalists better, and playing an instrument makes singers better!
If you have any additional questions before paperwork is sent home, please contact us! We look forward to a wonderful year of music-making!

I’ve felt a special connection to music literally since I was able to walk. It all started with me listening to my dad’s records and experiencing that pure magic when grooving to all sorts of classics. My journey continued when I learned to play the piano in my early childhood. Playing classical music, blues, jazz, Rock’n’Roll, ballads and everything else gave my fragile artistic soul a way of self-expression that it had craved since the day I was born.
To this very day, music of all sorts and the creation of it continues to define and drive me. However, the ability to express my feelings for life through music has grown and continues to do so. To me, the feelings of absolute euphoria I get when I produce a new track make all the unavoidable pain and suffering that go along with it worthwhile. Yet, I feel that I’m still only at the beginning of my journey as a musician.
When I was around 15 years old, I was introduced to DJing and bought all the house music records I could find. Guys like Eric Prydz, Axwell and then later of course Nicky Romero, shaped my musical taste and furthered my innate desire to produce music that was just as good. Thus, after a short email correspondence with from Nicky in 2009, I got more and more into music production.
I witnessed the rise of EDM and its heroes (Nicky and Avicii just to name a few). In 2016 I traveled to Las Vegas to attend the EDM Bizz Conference in Las Vegas and saw Nicky play live in Omnia – a life-changing experience. However, after getting all hyped up, it still took me a good while to wrap my head around the production side and at some point I noticed that for some reason, I needed to surround myself with other producers and get first hand insights to push my ability to produce to its absolute max.
Consequently, in 2017, I quit my regular job, moved to London and learned at the famous Toolroom Records music label where I was suddenly sitting in the studio with D. Ramirez, a producer legend in the U.K., who trained me hardcore for months. He truly laid the foundation for my professional music production and I’ll be forever grateful to him. My time at Toolroom Records pulled me towards tech house for a while and consequently, under the artist alias of HANNS, I produced a variety of tech house tracks, some of which are being played by DJs like Camelphat, Chocolate Puma, and so forth. I am proud to say that Pete Tong even premiered my track Kickdrum on his BBC Radio 1 show on a Saturday evening. Having my tune blasted nationwide all over the U.K. gave me more confidence to take things further.
Thus, after my time in London, I moved to Ibiza and spent six months on the white isle discovering the music scene – and myself. However, after a season of doing that, I felt it was time to go back to my roots. To take some time to think about things, I took on another regular daytime job, moved back to Germany and focused on starting the next chapter: making music that has the potential to move millions, produced to the absolute highest of my ability and the highest industry standards. Surprisingly, it turned out to be so freakin’ hard, but that’s why I love it. 😀
The decision to produce very melodic, vocal driven beats rekindled my love for music and I am truly excited where my journey will take me next. It’s life at its finest – with all it’s ups and downs. Hey, because I wish that someone would have told me many of the things I learned the hard way, I created a Youtube channel with tips for production. If it helps you, I am happy. 🙂
Recently, I put out a new melodic track called Let Go. It’s the first one of many more to come. It would be great to have you follow my journey.

Full of hops and kicks, and danced to medium or fast tempos, it has a style that is recognisably ‘jitterbug’. It is danced in a closed position hold, similar to most ballroom dances, but also includes open and separating elements.
In its most popular form today, it has a 6-beat basic step that has a “slow, slow, quick-quick” rhythm similar to Fox Trot. This form is sometimes called Double Shag (because of the two “slow” steps), but there are also Single and Triple forms of Collegiate Shag. There are other dances known as “shag” dances, including Carolina Shag and St Louis Shag, but these are vastly different. | music_and_dance |

Although the USB audio interfaces described in Selecting an External Microphone can be very pricey, even the most basic of models offer the ability to record your compatible instrument directly. Whether you are a teacher or student, the ability to directly capture your instrument's sound for online lessons adds immensely to the quality of your lessons. With the right software (normally included with audio interfaces), you can also record and compose your own music.
In order to determine if you can record your instrument directly, you first have to check if your audio interface has a second input available. In the example model below (3rd generation Focusrite Scarlett Solo), we have two inputs available.
The first input (labelled 1) is a dedicated microphone input and uses an industry standard 3-pin XLR jack. The second input (labelled 2) is available for instrument use, and uses a 1/4" jack that is common with guitar cables, DJ/recording equipment, and studio headphones.
High and Low Impedance
An important thing to note on many audio interfaces is the presence of an Instrument or Hi-Z switch or button. In the interface model shown above, the instrument button is used when you are plugging in a High Impedance sound source. You should disable this when using a Low Impedance or Line-Level sound source. If you are unsure what this means, follow the general guidelines below:
High Impedance: Electric guitars with passive pickups (direct without amp), some guitar effect pedals, electric pickups for other instruments such as violins, karaoke microphones
Low Impedance/Line-Level: Headphone outputs from tablets/computers/smartphones, headphone outputs from digital pianos/keyboards/guitar amps, Line Out or Aux Out outputs from high end guitar amps, most guitar effect pedals, guitar Preamps (active pickups and most acoustic-electric guitars) and multi-FX units, Line Out outputs from computers (blue speaker jack)
It is important to properly match your device impedance with your audio interface setting. Using the incorrect setting can lead to either low sound levels or distortion (and potential damage to your interface). Some interfaces, such as the Steinberg UR22, label High Impedance as Hi-Z. Turning or switching on Hi-Z prepares the interface for high impedance sources mentioned above. If you’re are unsure, consult your audio interface's user manual.
NEVER CONNECT the Speaker Out of any guitar amplifier to the input of your interface or you will damage the unit!
Assuming you have an instrument with some type of standard output, all you need to connect your instrument to your audio interface is an appropriate cable. If you are using an electric guitar/violin without an amp, you can simply connect the guitar into your interface (like if your interface was the amp itself) and ensure that Instrument/High Impedance or Hi-Z is turned on. If High Impedance or Hi-Z is turned off, you will get little to no volume, even with the Gain knob set to max.
For other instruments, use the line out or headphone out and the Low Impedance setting on our audio interface (Instrument or Hi-Z turned off). Below is an example of the rear I/O panel of a Yamaha P-115 digital piano.
The Aux Out (line out) has two options: separate left and right jacks, or a combined stereo jack built into the left output jack. We should note that the instrument input on an audio interface is normally a mono input, and therefore can only records in mono. To be safe, we would simply connect the L/L+R output of the keyboard to the input of the audio interface using a patch cable. A regular guitar/instrument cable would work but there are also dedicated options meant for recording equipment, which may look the same but actually use a cable of different construction.
If your instrument has very distinct Left and Right sound outputs that are not translating well into your audio interface, you may need to purchase a Stereo to Mono cable or converter to merge the Left and Right outputs into one mono output. This method of merging L/R outputs was common in the days of old tube TVs and VCRs/DVD players where the TV only had a White (mono) RCA jack for sound, but the VCR or DVD player had White (Left) and Red (Right) RCA jacks.
Remember that most dedicated Headphone jacks output in stereo. For certain headphone jacks, you may also need a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch converter as well. 3.5mm jacks and plugs are common with computers/tablets/smartphones, as well as certain guitar amps such as the Fender Frontman 10G.
Once our instrument is connected properly to our audio interface, we need to properly set our Gain knob. The Gain knob is commonly mistaken as a volume control for the instrument, but the true function of the gain knob is to properly match the electrical signal of your instrument to your audio interface.
It is better to think of Gain as the sensitivity of the audio interface rather than volume. We want to set the gain just right so that the signal/sound quality is free of hiss and distortion, and volume the listener hears is loud enough. Set it too low and the resulting instrument volume will be too quiet. Set it too high and the instrument will distort, especially when playing with loud dynamics.
You can tell if the gain is too high if you are triggering the Clip or Peak LED light on your audio interface (which is usually red). If you can hear your instrument clearly and rarely trigger the clip or peak light on your device, you have set the gain level appropriately. You can test the audio quality yourself by plugging in some headphones to your interface and using the headphone volume or Direct Monitor feature if present.
Your Gain setting will vary from instrument to instrument, especially with instruments that have their own built-in volume control. The best practice is to set the volume of your instrument first, then start with the Gain knob at 0 and slowly increase it until you find the sweet spot (where the volume is good and the signal is clean). Remember to avoid triggering the Clip or Peak light as much as possible.
For guitars without active electronics/pickups, you may want to set your guitar's volume to 10 right away as volume knobs on guitars only reduce what little output the guitar offers, not boost it (think of slowly opening or closing a floodgate). If you are unsure if your guitar uses active electronics, check if it needs a 9V battery. If it uses a 9V battery, it has active electronics. | music_and_dance |

Carmen Ledding has been involved with the Rosetown Music Festival since 2008. "It was a really great night. It's put on every year by the Rosetown Music Festival and we invite all of our choirs in the local community, as well as the Herschel and Fiske Choir. It's also an opportunity for those who won an anniversary trophy, the biggest trophy at festivals, those soloists perform as well."
The Rosetown Central High School took the stage first with their new Director, Chelsea Holt. The ensemble played three pieces for the crowd.
The Walter Aseltine Elementary School Choir also performed. Walter Aseltine was lead by Directors, Stacy Becker and Renee Torwalt-Lauren, and accompanied by AnnaMarie Cressman. Ledding said the choir has around 30 members, which is an impressive number for such a young group.
The other performances include the Herschel and Fiske Choir, the Rosetown United Church Choir, a Duet from the Rosetown Community Church and a Duet from the Alliance Church.
This years soloists included Annette Hunter and Johanna Wiebe. Hunter won the 'Most Promising Vocalist' at the 2018 Music Festival, while Wiebe won 'Most Promising Pianist' and 'Most Promising Instrumentalist.
Ledding said they also honored a big name in the local music scene during the night.
Eleanor Sparks, who has been involved with local music festivals for 52 years, was honored. Sparks has been involved as both a performer, teacher and parent of performers through her years. She was given a lifetime membership to the Festival Association as recognition for her years.
The Rosetown Music Festival is also coming up on a big milestone. Ledding said in 2019 they will be celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Festival in Rosetown, "It's a big deal for something like this to have been carried on for that long. The first Music Festival was held in Kerrobert and then it rotated around to Rosetown and Biggar."
Ledding shared a bit of history from the first music festival, "Mrs. Julia Graham was instrumental for the first Music Festival in 1929. We had a show of hands and there was a number of people who were taught either by Julia or the people just after her."
In honour of the upcoming 90th anniversary, the Music Festival is donating the proceeds from Monday's night concert to their host, the United Church. | music_and_dance |
