Porter Robinson And Madeon Concert Report

In a large city, full of diverse people, finding a musical performance is not hard to come by. Luckily, as I was searching online for different performances I ran across The Flex Crew performing at Skully’s music diner. I have been to Skully’s once before to watch a folk band perform. The atmosphere was a lot different than when we saw The Flex Crew. Obviously, the genre of music was a lot different, along with the atmosphere of the crowd. I was very surprised by the number of people in the bar that evening. Mostly, because the performance started at 11PM and the world series was on. On top of this, online their website said the show began at 10PM, but like a very great band they came out at their own pace. In the meantime, there was a DJ performing to keep the crowd alive. The Flex Crew is a reggae band from the Columbus area. After doing a little research I learned they are known as “the best reggae band in the Midwest.”

It’s amazing to listen to musicians who do not normally play with each other come together and leave the audience in complete awe. That is exactly what happened on the day of Thursday November 26th 2014. The Bill Crothers Varsity Winds comprised of grade eleven and twelve students along with a few, talented grade tens went to listen to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra play. We travelled via a typical yellow school bus that took us to Roy Thomson Hall where we went right to the top level and took our seats. The seating seemed rather helpful because from a distance you could hear every instrument when you focused on it. It was beautiful. The band presented well with their “Penguin” like attire that was kind to the eyes. They appeared very organized,

The first one would be the introduction, which it opens with a group of performers with a billboard sign that they begin to play music by hitting kitchen pots, street signs, brooms, garbage cans, and various ordinary materials. Another one is in the kitchen, they use kitchen utensils and begin the rhythms while cooking, so they be doing their job alongside an unpredictable rhythm. Thirdly, the scene where the venue is the in the back of some buildings and the performers create a beat when they bounced the basketballs, they throw them against the walls and the garbage bins. The last scene would be in the sewers, the performers would use the pipes and hit them to create a musical beat. They all worked in unity and that’s the most important thing that stood out to me in the entire

When listening to “The Santé Fe Jazz Combo,” you get a mellow feeling that courses through your body. Their opener “Recorda-Me,” which was my favorite piece, featured solos from Dr. Hamilton on Piano, Spencer Hoefert on Guitar, Ben Salhanick on Bass, Doc B on Alto Sax, Wyatt Thomas on Trombone, and Noah Woolard on Drum Set. The song had a moderate swing tempo that kept your feet tapping up until the solo. First, the brass rang through their part, then the electric instruments. Next came the bass; he was strumming so fast but he was barely audible. The pianist busting through with a tricky piano rift and the drummer finished it off with an intense solo. Every rim-shot sent a jolt into the air like lightning and the buzz rolls sounded like thunder. Noah’s part reminded me why I love playing the drums.

On April 11th, 2017 in the Louis Armstrong Theatre, I attended the GVSU “University Band”. This up-beat ensemble lasted about 90 minutes; the talented students of GVSU’s university band joined together to perform multiple different songs ranging from a Waltz to a Dixieland Jamboree. All of the songs that the band played for the audience were all well-known, popular songs that they all enjoyed. Having the opportunity to attend this concert has opened new musical paths for myself and has allowed me to enjoy and kindly critique something that I perhaps would have never had the chance to otherwise.

The interesting thing about this event was that all the songs were basically one giant sound. In the program, there were eight songs listed, but

The concert night began with almost 20 minutes of performances by The Jazz Band that performed five songs: “Choo Choo Ch” (Horton et al., 1946),“Dreamsville” (Mancini, 1960), “Work Song” (Adderley,

On November 10th from 12:30 to 1:30, Taxi Chain performed a free concert in The Family Martin at York University. Grier Coppins founded Taxi Chain in 1993. They offer bluesy jigs and strong overtones of old school funk, R&B, rock n roll, country, folk and world music. This vast amount of styles allowed for their performance to be very intriguing. The styles are versatile, daring and fun (York university website). The setting of the performance was at The Family Martin Lounge, so the environment was relaxed. Everyone was doing their own thing in addition to listening. The atmosphere of the space was relaxed and most people were just doing their own thing while getting to enjoy the fantastic music that was being played. Truthfully, I choose this

My position on the "See the Music..." talks affixed to certain programs is neutral. Nevertheless, the one at the start of Saturday's matinee "All Robbins No. 4" program proved arduous and vexatious. After relating some amusing personal experiences and providing the audience with a few intriguing facts about Ravel and his music, Andrew Litton eventually began what suddenly loomed as an interminable discussion of the "Piano Concerto in G" which included snippets played by himself on the instrument. Unlike his case, this piece--atypically--was familiar to me long before attending a performance of Robbins' ballet at NYCB, and I consider its second movement among the most hauntingly beautiful music ever created. (The section during which Robbins has the ballerina execute bourrées forwards and backwards is a supreme musical expression of the pathos of human existence.) Analyzing it before a performance is, to put it kindly, superfluous.

MUS 110CL Concert Critique Guidelines and Rubric After either attending a live concert or watching a full length concert online, write a critique of the performance following the format below. Here are a few examples of full length concerts you can find online (by conducting a web search using the criteria below) that could be used for this assignment:         Coldplay Live In Boston 2012 (Full Concert DVD) Sting: If on a winters night-Live from Durham Cathedral 2009 (watch all 14 songs on concert) Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Bill Wyman, Jan Hammer, Charlie Duke Ellington The Great Paris Concert Richard Galliano/Winton Marsalis - Billie Holiday meets Edith PIAF Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Jazz Center

They opened the show with “Al”, a dedication from Wilson to the late avant-garde saxophonist Albert Ayler, in which we could sense a thrilling sense of looseness. Despite rhythmically broken, the tune promulgates a romantic side, especially created through Melford’s melodious-yet-intense attacks and well supported by the playful interaction between Dresser and Wilson.

Here the atmosphere was completely different. There was a presentational performance going on, with a girl who was singing while accompanying herself on guitar. Everyone was quiet with eyes fixed on the performer. The song was slow and calm with a four/four measure, and the song was about a lover who had left her. The audience seemed entranced by the performance and when it ended they all clapped for her in awe of the performance. I found it strange how just by going downstairs the feeling of the environment changed drastically. We had just come from a blasting bass that was so powerful it shook our chests, and walked into a calming acoustic jam session. There were way more people gathered in the small tight-knit room with the acoustic open mic night then there had been in the huge open room with the blasting pop music and giant dance floor. I found that interesting and began to ponder why that was. Upstairs no doubtedly played music by a lot of African American artists, specifically 90’s rap and R&B. I wondered on a campus that seemed to be made up of 98% white middle class, if this was possibly a cultural

The headliners were Madeon and Porter Robinson, both DJs. The latter is my favorite of all time, which created much suspense for me and my friend when we arrived to the venue. Ever since we were assigned this project, I immediately thought about this show. Before taking this class, I always thought music was one of the greatest and most raw forms of art and I cannot go a day without listening to it. Doors opened and there we were, T-minus three hours until the headliners came on. The wait was rather boring as the other smaller DJs were neither as good nor as well-known as either Madeon or Porter Robinson. When one a.m. hit, the crowd was ready. The show started strong as they both played their most recognized songs, and we were having a great time. Then as an hour passed, Porter went to Madeon’s side and started playing the piano. In this moment, I felt as if nothing else mattered in the world. I started to match the sound of the piano with the songs I knew and then I realized he was playing my favorite song, Fellow Feeling. The song, which will be in the PowerPoint presentation, embodies how we can have a certain perception of someone or something but as we grow closer to them we realize the reality of who or what they are, which changes our perspective. It embodies the infamous saying that everything is more beautiful from a

I attended the concert call Jack U on Wednesday, April 13. It a type of concert that always play Electronic music. The concert start at 8pm, was located in Bill Graham Civic Auditorium near City Hall. Jack U got name from American Dj Duo, project “consisting of Mad Decent founder Diplo and OWSLA founder Skrillex, formed in 2013.” The two famous DJ players that play at Jack U was DJ Skrillex and DJ Diplo which are the top most famous DJ players now. The style of music that they play are Electronic music and some remix music from popular music. When I first enter the building I was very surprised how the people are friendly and the environment. I was never been to those EDM music festival and this is my first time went to the rave. People in the concert are very nice and everyone look like very happy too. The people that attended to rave mosley young ages around 20-25 and the environment is very loud with music and people screaming. The people at this concert mostly jumping, dancing, and very happy with the music. I don’t expect that much people at one concert but the crowds in the building is unbelievable. I think in this music concert mostly people are on some kind of drug and I smell lots of marijuana so I decide to sit all the way up at seats and take some notes. Most people in the concert wear really shiny clothes and a fews of themes are shirtless. In the concert I also saw some light show in groups and and rave Jesus which a mean dress like jesus and people taking
