Each member of Botti's band performed a cadenza near the end of the show. The other musicians in Botti's band included Geoffrey Keezer on piano, Richie Goods on bass, Lee Pearson on drums and Ben Butler on the electric guitar. Keezer played at the mezzopiano dynamic level. Botti played at the piannissmo dynamic level in "The Look of Love" but in some of his other songs he would begin in a soft piano and crescendo to a mezzo forte with some subito changes from mezzo piano to forte. While there was contrast due to the nature of jazz, most of the harmonies were consonant and the melodies were conjunct and pleasant to hear. There was never a moment in the performance where I felt the need for tension to be resolved, it was generally smooth. Overall, the wind instruments played included a bass clarinet, clarinets, an English horn, flutes, a piccolo, oboes, and bassoons. Among the strings heard were violins, violas, cellos, a harp, and double basses. Besides the trumpet, the concert included other brass instruments such as French horns, trombones, and a

Mötley Crüe struggled to become famous due to the New Wave music, which they later helped kill off at the US Festival. The band struggled even more with getting a record deal then with becoming famous. No record company wanted to sign this band of degenerates who are playing rock and metal music when what was in was New Wave. Mötley Crüe very often struggled with fights and criticism for what they look like and how they sing. Their other major fight that they constantly battled was girls, with abusive girlfriends like Honey and Bullwinkle. The band in there early days usually used women for four purposes Food, Alcohol, Drugs, and

The Band was formed by brothers Chad and Mike Kroeger in Vancouver, with the help of their cousin Brandon Kroeger, and their friend Ryan Peake. Brandon Kroeger (the drummer) however, is no longer in the band. He left the group in 1997, and was replaced by two other people. First he was replaced by Mitch Guidon from 1997 to 1998. Then Mitch was replaced by Ryan Vikedal from 1998 to 2005.

I interviewed my stepfather, to be known in this paper as Kevin, on his early memories concerning sound recording, radio, and television in that order. As his memory is nearly perfect I believed he would be the best to interview, especially as his most recent birthday last New Year’s Eve put him within the age group we could focus on. I was not disappointed in the least, and as the interview progressed I felt less like I was asking pointed questions and more like I was just listening to him tell another one of his many stories. My mother, eight years young than him, listened as well and was equally fascinated by the events she had heard about many times already.

Tyler is the lead singer but he is also the one who plays the most instruments. For many of his songs he plays the piano, "The first song I ever played on the piano was my own. I never took any lessons; I looked at the piano and realized that music was a way of being able to say something…” (Tyler Joseph). I bought a ukulele mostly so I could learn their songs because he has made a few songs with this instrument as well. In addition, he can play the bass, keytar, and synthesizer. Joshua is simply the drummer (Gwenevere). Many people may think that is not much but he puts more emotion and effort into playing than any other drummer I have ever

Steven was a drummer but wanted to be a singer so when they all met in Boston before he would join the band he said I would have to be lead singer. So Joe and Tom agreed and they started the band. Joey gave up college to go with them (Schlesinger, 2008). The five were good friends and worked

Never could I have thought that my first concert experience was going to be in a college class, performed by various composers of classical music. During the concert, I got to listen to four performances. First, the Oxycotton was played by Tim Sanchez. Second, Samantha Post played Acht Stucke on flute, followed by Nicholas Gledhill, playing Blues and Variations for Monk on horn. Finally, the CSU Graduate Brass Quintet performed a piece named Misty. In this essay, I will share my personal experience of the concert and discuss the different elements of music seen in the different performances.

As an electrical engineer, it is only appropriate that I interview another fellow senior electrical engineer. I decided to interview one senior group consisting of Bryan Guner (Interviewee), Ralph Quinto and Haley Scott. I found Bryan during an IEEE meeting at TCNJ and realized he would be perfect for the interview. Their senior project is a software platform that digitizes a guitar signal then analyzes a sequence of notes played in time and triggers guitar effects at a desired time. However, the system must be able to tolerate inconsistencies between the performance where the system learns the song and the trigger points in the live performance. The primary goal is to produce a system that frees the guitarist to be anywhere on the stage when performing, rather than standing by the effects pedals.
