UK Bass Music Analysis

Godspell is a musical that explains various parables from the Gospel of Matthew (and a few from the Gospel of Luke.) The production of Godspell put on at Carthage took a modern approach to the Broadway classic. Instead of philosophers debating religion during the opening, it was college students venting on the internet. Additionally, the actors chose not to don clown makeup after choosing to follow Jesus, but instead, each wore a pin to demonstrate their allegiance. The music is set to modern beats but the lyrics are derived from popular hymns.

Everybody knows that feeling when you like a girl or a boy. You get nervous around them, can not think clearly around them. Both pieces of writing speak to this feeling. In the short story The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant the narrator states “ the only creature that seemed lovelier to me then a largemouth bass was sheila mant” (Wetherell 245). That statement shows us that she means alot to him because fishing was everything to him and he put her above it. The poem It’s Raining in Love, talks about these feeling as well. Richard Brautigan express this feeling when he says “ I don’t know what it is, but I distrust myself when I start to like a girl a lot” ( Brautigan 251). The short story and the poem have a very similar theme, they both

The hip­ hop underground remains a admiring and powerful influence that is lifelike in telling

"Mickey Monday" born Miguel Ramirez in The South Bronx section of NYC is a Hip Hop/RnB/Dance Hall artist of Puerto Rican heritage. Being brought up in the 90's in The South Bronx was a struggle in its own with poverty, drugs, and violence. Having both parents wasnt enough to keep me from falling into the jungles. Music kept me out of a lot of trouble coming up but, it didn't keep me away from all of it. But fortunately having my first child at 22 put things in perspective for me. There was so much more to life and much more creativity to tap into mentally and spiritually.

Fela Kuti’s family background plays an interesting role in the making of Afrobeat. Fela’s father was a pastor and his mother was feminist activist active in the anti-colonial and anti- military movements in Nigeria. “So at an early age, Fela experienced politics and music in a seamless combination” (Dougan). Yet, he was sent to London for an education in medicine, however Fela registered at Trinity College’s school of music. Which led to the beginning of the creation of Afrobeat. Afrobeat became a popular genre, due to its diverse Beliefs, Culture significance, and its Composition in the late 1900’s.

There are many kinds of people, artists and music genres. Everyday, we try to discover something or someone new, especially when it comes to music. For a new vibe, look no further then Taz Da Realist.

In his book, Making Beats, specifically the chapter titled “It’s about Playing Records”; Joseph Schloss attempts to discuss the relationship between deejays and producers, and the connection between individuals and collective hip-hop identity and history. He argues that academics who write on this topic tend to center more on economic, political, and social concerns instead of the individuals (Schloss 2004). His main points of this chapter are how deejaying relates to sampling, how individuals shape the aesthetic quality of hip-hop, and female producers in a masculine profession. While Schloss makes a convincing argument against writing about hip hop as if it were a conglomeration of millions of black youth’s tastes, he leaves a few things

Kool DJ Herc opened the door to the world for many up and comers such as Grandmaster Flash. DJ Grandmaster Flash and his group the Furious Five were hip-hop, greatest innovators, transcending the genres’ party music origins to explore the full scope of its lyrical and sonic horizons. Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler, began spinning records as a team growing up in the Bronx. By age 19, while attending technical school courses in electronics during the day, he was also d-jaying on a local disco circuit. Over time he developed a series of groundbreaking techniques including “cutting” (moving between tracks exactly on beat), “back spinning” (manually turning records to repeat brief snippets of sound), and “phasing” (manipulating turntable speeds). In short Grandmaster Flash created the basic vocabulary, which DJ’s continue to follow even today (Brewster and Broughton, 2000).

Our book states that, “African music had ccomplex rhythms and strong beats.” Africans kept this element of their heritage even through slavery. In todays society, hip hop music is extremely popular. Only, the whites have taken this music style and made it popular and do not give credit to Africans. Cultural appropriate can also happen within looks.

We learn from looking at the literature that modern-day Reggae had its wellsprings in the African-American soul music of the 1950s and 1960s. The insistent, off-beat rhythmic pattern of soul music became a feature of reggae in the late-1960s and early 1970s. However, the aforementioned pattern mostly appeared in the form of the trade-mark galloping backbeat of ska, which was a tip-beat and dance-oriented predecessor of reggae. Ska had a limited expressive range and its galloping speed needed to be slowed down if it was to enjoy a larger audience. Fortunately, it did slow down and, by the end of the 1960s, something known as “Rock Steady” was beginning to surface (Anderson, 206-208).

The Bass technique is the one I picked to look more into and I found a video on YouTube that talked about how to brush the teeth using this technique. This technique could be used by someone with limited gun recession. The brush needs to be placed at a 45 degree angle on the front surface of the teeth. A small circular motion is made from the pocket of the tooth then the brush it swept over the surface of the teeth toward the biting surface. That is repeated on all the surfaces of the teeth and the inner parts. This method with the video as an example would be easy for anyone to understand and learn how to do this method.

Sidney Hook said, “Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.” Mr. Fitzpatrick an experienced teacher and Mr. Meyer a brand new teacher were both influenced by their teachers to help them realize their passion to teach. Mr. Fitzpatrick was my U.S. History teacher my freshman year of high school and I remembered when he taught anyone could tell how much he loved history and how every year he brings joy to so many students by hosting Disco Daze. Disco Daze allows anyone who participates to go back in time for a little while and truly experience what it was like living in the 70s. It was a truly memorable experience as a student and I still look forward to it as a senior. Mr. Meyer reaches out to students through his coaching. Many athletes look up to him and every time they are around him they are smiling and laughing. It is his first year teaching and he already has students who look up to him as a role model. Comparing the years of experience they have can show the similarities and differences between how they talk about their teaching styles, their inspiration that made them decide to be a teacher, and the memorable experiences they have had as a teacher.

In 1987, once again, two boys from Chicago, DJ Pierre and Marshall Jefferson, knew that something had to be done so they have decided to create a new sound by using Roland TB 303 bass synthesizer (the instrument that has appeared in the 1983 in disco via Alexander Robotnick). It was a sound which when emitted from the machine swirl it stabs across House music 4/4 beat and that was completely overpowering the listeners.

The music video for "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith shows how everyone will be stricken with grief after losing a loved one sometime in their life. The video starts out at a funeral and no music is playing. Smith is pictured in front of a casket at the front of a church standing completely still, ridden with grief. When the song begins, it is very slow paced. The people in the church can be viewed behind Smith, holding candles while trying to control their emotions. As Sam Smith walks out of the church, the video flashes back to a time of happiness. Smith appears to be saying his vows to his fiancée as they were getting married. Everyone at the wedding is dressed in all white, making the emotions seem much happier. All of the people are smiling, clapping, and having a good time. The video then reverts back to the church where the music and lyrics slow down again, showing the emotion in the song and Smith is seen alone bowing his head in the
