Speech About DJ Culture

This creates a beautiful blending of the two parts together and shows that this song was written to showcase the vocals.

Throughout history, there has always been some form of music; however, the form and style have changed over time. During the twentieth century, the gap between classical music and the “popular” music widened, as people picked more of what they thought sounded pleasant. One of the popular styles today is country and an example is “Body Like a Back Road” by Sam Hunt, which was released in February 2017 as a single from his upcoming album. “Body Like a Back Road” is a song that has a complex and changing texture which is created by varied musical elements and composition throughout the piece.

DJs have one simple task: make people dance. Or that's what it used to be.

The song begins immediately, with no intro of any sort. However, the first line, "Take out the papers and the trash" is sung a capella, before an instrumental of crashing drums, bass (I think, not sure quite what it is), and a saxophone. A piano also plays chords within the instrumental, filling space that that would otherwise be somewhat empty, although it is not at the forefront. The bass is also not extremely well defined, but it creates a dancelike feel to the song that adds more of a musical aspect of the song and is what a listener might subliminally bob their head to during the song. The lyrics are sung very loudly, almost as if the singers were shouting at the listeners. At 0:47, the bridge begins, marked by a jumpy and exciting saxophone solo that maintains the song's energy and intensity. During this solo, the bass, drums, and piano continue their beats. The song ends with a repetition of the song's title, "Yakety Yak" which could be considered a coda although it is really just an extension of the chorus. During some lines of the song, the instrumental cuts out, bringing front the already distinguished vocals. Lyrically, the song is pretty simple, with the lyrics being what a parent might tell a disobedient child. Structurally, the song is also very basic, with very little distinctness between the verse and the

You could call this “ The Luck of the Irish.” While I was recording the song in a studio in LA, the producer of the movie, Michael Damian, overheard the song as he just happened to be in the same studio and knew immediately that the song was a fit for the movie, and my management team handled it from there.

Normally at a rave, a DJ "spins" to create the music that the ravers hear. The act of spinning is the art of mixing songs together using different pitches, different speeds, and an equalizer to create an ever-flowing, ever-changing wall of sound. In effect, artists record techno songs, which are then reinterpreted and mixed with other techno songs, creating a spontaneous new song.

a. DJ Kool Herc originated the idea of extending beats and isolating beats by using two record players.

The song was compressed and had extreme EQ on it. The sample of Daft Punk that Kanye West used on the track, it left many glitches within the clip that have been corrected by Marroquin, he lowering the volume for several milliseconds on each. In the intro they a cut-up sample of Daft Punk robotic vocal that continues to play in the background at a decreased tempo. When the song track enters the

The hip-hop culture began in the streets of New York City during the 1970’s and has gone through tremendous changes up until now. Hip-Hop consists of four elements: rap, graffiti, break-dancing, and the disc jockey. In this paper, I intend to fully explain the evolution of rap music, from its infancy to the giant industry it is today.

The paper will focus on comparing two different songs by discussing their context and highlighting the similarities and differences between both chosen songs. The comparison will be based on the background information for each song as well as peripheral information about the albums. The comparison will also include any contextual similarities and differences between the songs. The two chosen songs for the comparison are: 'Woodstock' by Joni Mitchell and 'The Times They Are a-Changin' by Bob Dylan.

The two songs which shall be scrutinized shall be Roxanne. Originally released in 1978, it was performed by ‘The Police’. The cover version El Tango de Roxanne was rearranged by Mariano Mores in Moulin Rouge, 2001.

Introduction This assignment will place two jazz songs side by side and compare various factors from each of them. The factors being compared will be the compositional techniques employed in the writing of the pieces, the musical elements that can be found within the pieces and how they relate to the genres from which the songs came and the historical and social context that surrounded the years in which the songs were first composed. The songs that will be compared are Take Five performed by Dave Brubeck and ‘Round Midnight which was written and performed by Thelonious Monk.

Thesis Statement: Electronic Dance Music is more than just bops and scratching sounds; it’s a way of life.
