Covers are unescapable and essential part of the music business. Many artists profit from the compulsory law by being able to easily and without infringing, perform and record/reproduce/distribute their styles of another’s song. This often results in thought-provoking new varieties of works being created that, if not for the compulsory license regulations, would certainly not have seen the light of day. Of course, because of these compulsory rules, the original author also profits financially. Certainly, it may not be a flawless balance, but it seems to
Member of Manfred Mann, Klaus Voormann, designed the iconic cover for The Beatles that John Lennon questions about during an interview with Jann Wenner. "Revolver" their album cover title, does not refer to a gun it actually refers to a Ringo Starr pun coming to the conclusion that an album revolves like the revolver gun. I really enjoy how open and triggered to stand out they are with their art, that's why I think the album is beautiful.
Is important for anyone who has created any intellectual property to protect it. In the music industry, in order for someone to protect their work, they must obtain a copyright. Music has been around before anyone could obtain a copyright and when the invention of the computer came along it made it easier for someone to steal another artist's intellectual property with the help of the internet. This paper will cover what events have taken a big role in copyright protection for artist, the consequences if someone was to break the rules of a copyright which is called copyright infringement, and how will a copyright hold in the future. Were copyrights enacted without the thought of life changing technology, and how can some music companies
My product is a 15 minute, 4 track EP. The songs featured on this album will be original with the instrumentation being predominantly keyboard, guitar, drums and possibly
Under the guidelines for covers Ruth Brown established in her article, “‘Miss Rhythm’ Speaks Out”, the cover version of “Shake Rattle and Roll” from Billy Haley and the Comets would be considered legitimate. Due to the racial hardships of the time period, you can say that Big Joe Turner didn’t
Good read for an article, the concept of image is something I do on the daily. Make me a poster to capture this concept…example Hockey Jersey Night. Making the poster took some thinking how do you capture the event with few words and strong imagery. (See attached pdf) To design you have to think outside the box and use imagery and word play a lot. Keep it simple is my motto and white is good when it refers to space within the design, but we are not talking about designing a poster we are talking about writing.
I chose Anna’s cover design/theme- Small Town Big Dreams as my second pick because I feel that it is not as unique or creative as Jada’s, but could still represent our school very well. Anna came up with many ways to carry her theme throughout the book such as the inspirational quotes which I really liked. Anna’s cover design not only fits our school- but is true for Marysville students. Many kids in our small town really do have big dreams, therefore it will be very easy to carry out this theme with interview questions and
Evolution of the CD After a couple of “failed” attempts of making a device that could be used for mass sharing of music in the late 1800s, an immigrant from Germany had finally come up with an idea that would change everything. Chichester Bell (Alexander Graham Bell's cousin) and Thomas Edison’s idea to record sounds on round cylinders was a good idea except for the sound quality and general effort that was required to make and replicate sound. The Phonograph was one of the earliest attempts at recording devices. Thomas A. Edison wanted to create this device in order to assist with business interactions. He originally used foil to record sounds, but this wasn't the best medium. You could only play sounds once and the quality wasn’t the greatest. This is when wax cylinders came into play. It was eventually decided that the wax cylinder wasn't strong enough to record something permanently. Next followed the graphophone. This invention by Bell fixed the replay problem, but mass production of music would’ve been impossible because of the sheer amount of work involved in recording each cylinder separately (Bells).
All of my albums are designed to work on mobile devices rather than 12" vinyl covers because the music industry and market is overwhelmingly digital. Because of this, I use fonts that work at small sizes and go for simple, graphic covers as opposed to the more intricate designs that tend to work very well in larger formats.
Bryan Krosser 9/10/15 Pop Rock and Soul The way artists cover songs today is very different than the way they were done in the mid nineteen hundreds. Today if a band covers a song it will typically be from a while ago. A performer like Miley Cyrus would not cover “Take Me To Church” by Hozier. Even if she were to perform the song people would be confused as to why she is playing Hozier’s song so close to when Hozier came out with the song. And when someone covers another bands song, it will still sound similar to the original. They will keep the same lyrics, but change the key or rhythm. In the mid nineteen hundreds, anybody could cover another bands song, but it would sound completely different. In many cases the artist would even change the lyrics to a point where it does
The first element of art present in this poster is the value of the poster. The dark brown colors allow the rest of the poster to really pop when looking at it from a distance. An example of a principle of design is the rhythm of the poster which is very much noticeable with all the players organized across the poster evenly. This allows the poster to feel like it has a visual tempo when looking at it. The next principle of design represented in this poster is the harmony which is shown with the accompanying text styles. This is achieved by repletion and small changes which is present in the photo. The second element of art that is represented by this poster is the shape of it. The poster is flat and is limited in height and width. These are just two examples of both the elements of art and the principles of
The theory of authorship often challenge the ideals of authenticity, especially within the context of cover songs. This is due to the fact that the composer of the song is a separate entity from the performer. Society has often valued composer-performers as it has been encoded in culture within the past century. "the attempt to understand the past in terms of the past is - paradoxically - an absolutely contemporary phenomenon." Authenticity is a historically specific abstraction and therefore, will continuously be subjected to reconsiderations as our societal construction of authenticity changes through time. A cover version is seemingly an art form that contains a thin line that dictates the authentic an artist presents their image within
The photo I chose was by Jessica Babcock it was her first submission and it is a checkered background that is warping into the center in the center of the photo the checkered patterns stop and in the center there is a black spot that a line is going through. The artwork is in all black and
Covers versions are credited to be “one of the most important precedents for the rise of rock ‘n’ roll.” This “commercial and musical phenomenon” is the use of a previously recorded song that is either remade or reinterpreted by another group or artist. There is an argument that cover versions are employed by bands and artists in order to “cash in” on the success that the original version provided the original artist. However, as in all debates, there is a side that argues that cover versions reinterpret or reimage the original song and change the experience and the meaning of the song based on how the artist or group reinterprets or reimages it. In the following singles, “California Dreamin’,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “She’s Like the Wind” there are examples of the latter argument of artists reinterpreting or reimaging the original singles in their covers.
