Son Lux Music Analysis

Pablo Escobar has been a popular topic lately. From ‘Narcos’ on Netflix to Andrea’s Di Stefano’s underrated ‘Escobar Paradise Lost,’ cocaine and greed can’t get anymore bombastic in the entertainment zeitgeist. Yet with director Brad Furman’s (The Lincoln Lawyer), The Infiltrator, the infamous Columbian drug load plays only second to agent Robert Mazur (played wonderfully by Bryan Cranston), the man who brings down the world’s largest cartel. It’s a refreshing angle on the subject matter with stellar performances (most notably John Leguizamo’s radically different and award-worthy role) to match. Yet, one of the biggest highlights of the film is that of film composer Chris Hajian’s (First Position, Yonkers Joe, The Take) score. Hajian manages to keep the film’s music subtle, but with gravitas to capture the heaviness of the situation at bay. It plays to the trend of synth percussion, a popular sensation seen everywhere from Cliff Martinez’s score in Drive to Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein of Stranger Things. Sure it plays to the trend, but doesn’t get lost in it. Hijian has the ear to work with modern sound, but keeps disciplined by incorporating instrumental sounds that grounds the film, but at the same time keeps it constantly moving. Check out track “I’m Being Followed,” to hear the complexity of modern synth, layered with piano. Recently I got the chance to sit down and interview Chris Hajian. Read below to

Before entering the exhibition the viewer is introduced to an energetic video montage of all the works with a sound created by Kevin J. Simon. This fast pace hip-hop sounding song at first seems very out of place from the work, but after listening to it for some time you do hear

I have chosen a song entitled “Penthouse Cloud” sung by the band “The Internet” which was released in 2015. Based on the lyrics, there are a lot of significant linguistic foregrounding included in the song using the techniques of parallelism and deviation.

The syncopated rhythms that initiate “Duality” are also velvety. They are an integral part of a magical soundscape, which, even shifting along the way, maintains both the consistency and stability. The improvisations are further extended here, beginning with Cowherd, who pulls out interesting melodic lines over exuberant chord changes. Giving the best sequence to a short bridge, packed with horn unisons and counterpoint, it’s Walden who, taking advantage of the recently appeared balladic tones, makes his alto saxophone cry and beseech intensely within an outstanding, repeatedly motivic post-bop language. Holding an absolute control of tempo, “Broken Leg Days” closes the session, flowing elegantly while Blade's drumming brings together simple rudiments and dynamic rhythmic

“Momentary Glow” takes us back to the acoustic roots of Pyke, and the brevity of his tones articulate the delicate nature of a relationship and how it becomes all consuming. Lead single “Hollering Hearts” is next, and the delightful banjo driven melody eases the complexity of the album. Exploring what it means to find the things that give us passion, percussion makes this a pop tune that will simply make you feel

During the late 1980s, two brothers from Leith, Scotland, formed a Celtic rock band called The Proclaimers which gained popularity in Europe. After their first hit album, The Proclaimers released a second album called Sunshine on Leith, and from that album came their most famous song, “I’m Gonna Be 500 Miles,” which woul¬¬¬¬d reach number one on the charts in New Zealand and Australia, as well as number 3 on the charts in the United States. Later in 2013, a cover of “I’m Gonna Be 500 Miles” was recorded by Sleeping at Last, an alternative rock band formed in 1999. Both of these covers have distinct and noticeable differences, including, genre, feel, lyrics, and instrumentation. Comparing these two songs, it is easy to see the reflections of the different artists who produced them.

He also establishes Pathos. He does this by using these songs that stand for such emotional things in the past and present. He acknowledges the struggle and the sorrow, but also includes the hope that is often viewed in these songs. A hope that, one day, the double-consciousness will

The poems “My Father’s Song” by Simon J. Ortiz and “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke, these two poems express uniqueness and similarities. In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz” a young child describes his time spent with his father. In the poem “My Father’s Song” a grown man remembers the previous memories of time spent with his father, when he was a child. These two poems coincide through tone, word choice, and figurative language to show the relationship between a father and son.

Music is a subtext that runs throughout the film under the theme of History. In O Brother Where Art Thou, there are 19 songs present. As the film is based during the time of the Great Depression, the songs reflect very heavily on the issues in the 1930’s. Music in the film has a very powerful meaning behind it and is one of the most important aspects of the film due to its historical context. All the songs have a political, historical and religious meaning, however the song “O Death” by Ralph Stanley is very much connected to the theme of history.

This is in part due to the extra instruments involved resembles an orchestra as opposed to a band. Guitars, Bass, drums, saxophones, pianos and trumpets all play a part. One of the more unique instruments, a pair of soda cans can be heard in the background creating a distinct clopping noise. Percussion and trumpets are the most prominent instruments in the song, providing an almost Latin-like sound effect. A pause at 0:44 in all instruments but the percussion allows for anticipation to build up to the 0:52 mark, where all of the instruments go back into the swing of the beat, hooking the attention of the audience.

Summary: Louis Armstrong singing is remarkable. I can understand why he inspired so many people in the music industry. What I love about this album is his singing and his form in trumpet playing. Listening to Armstrong voice, as well as his lyrics, flushes away my sorrow when I listen to What a Wonderful World and Sittin’ in the Sun. These types of songs help me appreciate what I have. Armstrong duet with Bing Cosby is adorable. Gone Fishin’ song has humor, in addition, both man scats singing makes me smile. Armstrong and Cosby voices work well in numerous levels together. When you Smile (The World Smile with you) is one of my favorites. I can never get enough of this song. The way Armstrong plays his trumpet is truly tremendous the timing of his trumpet playing with his notes is on point.

There is no defying rule to rise against the traditional order of what makes anyone rebellious when the only rule is to learn how to keep on riding while waiting for the green light. Ro James defies his purpose in his debut studio album, ‘ELDORADO,’ by coasting through his past and learning to reflect over his own barricaded stories. By doing this, he may potentially be in pursuit of becoming one of the few artists who hone the craft to rule against any direction and succeed, such as D’Angelo, Johnny Cash and Prince. He responds to heartbreak with bold hostilities in ‘Everything’ and ‘New Religion’ while enduring a superior force of emotion in his debut lead single, ‘Permission.’ Ro James should not be dismissed as a myth when ‘ELDORADO’ corresponds

As the power of a song resides completely in its lyrics, it is no longer surprising that music can be healing, inspiring, or even motivating. After introducing this insight to my life, it became very rare for me to listen to any Imagine Dragons’ song without it leaving an impact on my life and my perspectives. Imagine Dragons is a rock band whose music tends to address both personal and social issues. It’s Time, one of their biggest hits and most influential songs, was written by the band’s lead singer Dan Reynolds during a difficult time in his life. “ I was not very happy with who I was, I guess, and I wanted to make some changes” says the singer in an interview with Purevolume , in which he addresses It’s Time as a poem he wrote to express

In Song of Roland, the ideas of chivalry and loyalty to one’s king are central. Throughout the text, the author uses the concepts of good versus evil, shown by the Christians versus Muslims, as well as loyalty versus treason, shown by Roland versus Ganelon, to highlight and exemplify the ideals of the code of knighthood. The main character, Roland, is often presented as being an exemplary knight; he personifies the conventional chivalric values of the time such as bravery and loyalty, but he also struggles to balance these values in order to be a responsible leader. Roland is in stark contrast to his stepfather, Ganelon, as well as being in slight contrast to his close friend, Oliver. These contrasts of character come to a climax as the battle against the Muslim army at Roncesvalles begins; Oliver and Roland debate over whether they should call the king to help them, leading to the eventual demise of the French army. This specific scene brings to light the ideological dilemma of bravery versus wisdom and logic, by utilizing Roland as an example of the former, and Oliver of the latter. Roland, as evidenced by this situation, displays perfect loyalty to one’s king and God by being incredibly brave in the face of danger, making sacrifices that he sees are necessary, and fought valiantly until his death, all the while keeping the utmost faith in his God and king.

“Time is gone the song is over”, now what? In life humanity craves more time. Time is the one fixation we cannot get enough of. Since humanity is required to age, time seems to slip away. We don’t comprehend how time is synthesized. Society knows it goes on forever, regardless of what happens in life. Pink Floyd’s album, Dark Side Of The Moon, had immense success. It was recorded in the summer of 1972 on Capital records. The song Time was written by Roger Waters and recorded in the progressive era of rock and roll. The song is important because it demonstrates how people don’t realize that time slips away. The song displays this by means of engineering, instruments, lyrics, and arrangement. Therefore, taking us into how this song fits the historical context of the progressive era of rock and roll.
