Audio Format Wars
... Philips' Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) and Sony's Mini Disc (MD).
What exactly is digital recording? The definition is, "An electronic
format that is designed to duplicate sound, while affording extremely accurate
control over any changes you might wish to make in the recording" (Mclan &
Wichman,1988). In simple terms it means that the digital circuitry samples the
signal and then reproduces what it has seen. The quality of the recording
depends on the sampling rate of the machine. The sampled signal is then encoded
to the tape or disc in 1's and 0's, just like a computer disk drive would encode
information. However, the biggest advantage of digital reco ...

A Rock Concert
... all packed in there liked caged wildcats. I had to move as the crowd
allowed or insisted. Everything was done as a group. There were no individuals
here. It was only one group of crazed fans fighting for that one glimpse of
their favorite band. The crowd would shift as people passed out. This only
allowed me to move closer to the front. As you can tell, I was packed in until
the end.
Your sight was not left out either. Plenty of pyrotechnics kept your eyes
filled with colorful wonder as the music played on. Souvenir "AC/DC money" fell
from the top of the building. The bills fluttered down to the hungry hands of
the crowd. The stage was a constant f ...

Hear No Evil: Music Censorship
... important issue, where both sides must choose their words carefully in order to have the greater impact. By better understanding the ways in which both sides use appeals, the audience can make an informed decision on which stance to take. The audience will know and be able to take into account the ways that both groups use appeals to manipulate the audience to take their stance.
One of the founding debates over censorship in music was the Parent Music Resource Center (PMRC) Congressional hearings on September 19, 1985. The PMRC is a Washington women’s group that informs parents about violent or obscene music. The group was founded in 1985 by Tipper Gore, along ...

The History Of Greek Music
... have survived. It is impossible to fully understand the notation to make an authentic performance.
For the Greeks, music was of divine origin. According to Greek mythology, the gods themselves invented music and it's instruments. Many of the early myths told of the powerful effects of music. Music played an important part in both the public and private lives of the Greeks. They believed it could deeply affect human behavior. Greek music was built up of a series of distinct modes, each with it's own name. According to the doctrine of ethos, each mode was so powerful that it gave music the ability to influence human actions in a precise way. The Phrygian mode expr ...

... of sub dominate chords, and finally two measures of tonic
chords.
Blues performers would travel around the south singing about their loss of
love and family, and the pains they were forced to endure. The music became
popular because nearly every one who heard it could identify with its message.
This type of Blues later became known as country blues because it was rooted in
rural areas. The Blues became more main stream and popular in the 1920's
because of the recording industry coming into existence. More instruments were

The Difference Between Punk And Ska
... good all put together.
Not only are some of the instruments different, but the ones that are the same are played differently. There are differences in sound effects, methods of playing, and beat. Punk will use a lot of distortion, but not a lot of other effects like flangers and wahs. It is fairly easy to hear what they are playing.

Punk bands have a lead guitar player, and sometimes a rhythm guitarist who backs up the lead guitarist. In ska, all the guitars make quick, snappy, upward strums and qui ...

Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
