Midnight Special Songlist
west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has. -

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time. -
MIDI に関する技術系統化調査 1 Systematized Survey of MIDI and Related Technologies
MIDI に関する技術系統化調査 1 Systematized Survey of MIDI and Related Technologies 井土 秀樹 Hideki Izuchi ■ 要旨 MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface)は、日本の MIDI 規格協議会(現 AMEI:一般社団法人 音楽電子事業協会)と国際団体の MMA(MIDI Manufacturers Association)により制定された電子楽器の 演奏データを機器間でデジタル転送するための共通規格である。 1981 年 6 月シカゴで開催された NAMM ショーで、共通インターフェースの可能性に関して、最初の呼 びかけを行ったのがローランド創業者の梯郁太郎である。この呼びかけに応じ、最初の規格案を提案したのが Dave Smith(Sequential Circuits Inc. 社長)であった。両者は MIDI の制定に尽力し、MIDI 規格がその後 の音楽産業の発展に貢献したことが評価され、MIDI 制定から 30 周年を迎える 2013 年第 55 回グラミー賞 にて、連名でテクニカル・グラミー・アワードを受賞している。 MIDI を使って、異なる電子楽器同士がメーカーの枠を超えて同時に鳴らせるようになった。またコンピュー ターと電子楽器をつなぐことが可能となり、コンピューター上で演奏データを作成し、MIDI を通じて電子楽 器を自動演奏させることが可能となった。机の上で音楽の最終形まで制作可能になったことから「Desk Top Music」と呼ばれ、音楽制作の現場を大きく変えることになった。 また 1990 年代大手パソコン通信ホストによりアマチュア・ミュージシャンによる MIDI データの流通が隆 盛を極めた。このような MIDI データの流通には GS 音源、XG 音源と呼ばれたデファクトスタンダードな音色 配置と、SMF(Standard MIDI File)と呼ばれた MIDI データを記憶する共通ファイル・フォーマットの存在 が貢献した。 1992 年通信カラオケの誕生によって MIDI は楽器業界以外にも活躍の場を得ることになる。MIDI データを 使った通信カラオケシステムは、従来のディスクメディアによるカラオケシステムより、新曲の制作・配信が圧 倒的に速く、内蔵曲数の制限も少なく、ランニングコストも安価になったことから、カラオケの低価格・大衆化 を大きく前進させた。また 1999 年 2 月の i モード・サービス開始などにより、コンテンツ・プロバイダのメ ニューサイトで着信メロディーの演奏データを課金のうえダウンロードするのが一般的となり、携帯電話向けコ ンテンツビジネスが急速に拡大した。着信メロディーの演奏データの実体は Standard MIDI File(SMF)で あり、MIDI データが携帯端末の世界でも活用された。 MIDI は演奏データ情報に留まらず、クロック情報、タイムコード情報なども扱えるためレコーディング・ス タジオの制作プロセスを大きく変革した。さらに MIDI の RP(推奨実施例)として MIDI Machine Control、 MIDI Show Control、MIDI Visual Control 等も制定され、マルチトラックレコーダーの機器制御、照明機 器の制御、映像機器の制御にも MIDI が使われるようになった。 1999 年には MIDI を USB ケーブルの中に通すことが可能となり、また 2015 年には Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE)が規格化され、 2016 -
