THE FINAL REFRAIN A Note from the Author: I have received a great deal of enjoyment putting together this songwriting book and course, and through my many years as a songwriter, record producer and studio musician I have learned some valuable lessons from the school of hard knocks. As in every creative endeavor each of us takes a little different approach. The methods I suggest in this book (many of which are > tried and true, and other's of my own preference) have worked very well for me, and it has been my pleasure to be able to share some of the useful knowledge that I have learned while pursuing my own dreams, and making a living at what is the best profession in the world. SONGWRITING. One of the things that I love to do now is help new songwriters and lyricists sharpen their skills, and get their material recorded. If you're a lyricist only, or a lyricist that has "a tune in your head for your words" > but knows nothing about music, please read the section of this book titled SONGSCULPTOR. I hope you will benefit greatly from studying this songwriting book, and may you write the world's next big smash hit. Happy Songwriting. Thanks and Good Luck. Richard Brown OVERTURE: An Introduction to Marketable Songwriting There are some proven methods for writing marketable songs, and with a little bit of effort almost everyone with some creative juices flowing between their ears can come up with some great song ideas and turn those ideas into some pretty good songs. Obviously a good song is made up of 2 basic ingredients. Words and Music Some writers will write the words first and then compose a suitable chord progression and melody to compliment their lyrical ideas. Lyricists will often write a song lyric and then hand it over to a musical composer to compose some appropriate music to it, and turn it into a song. ● If you are a lyricist please read the section of this book just before the Music Section in Chapter 5. It is titled Songsculptor Musical Partner To Lyricists, Poets, Wordsmiths and Storytellers, Together We Write The Songs". Other writers (especially seasoned musicians) will compose the music first, and then either write the words to the already composed melody, or make a tape of their (music only composition) and give it to a lyricist to find the right words to go with their musical ideas. Although I have written many songs with both the words and music, I quite often collaborate with lyricists such as yourself to create good songs. The reason I do this is very simple. I am a much better (music) writer than a lyricist. This is not to say I haven't written some good lyrics, it only means that I am the kind of lyric writer that needs to be inspired to come up with a great story. When I find that I just can't think of anything to say, I try to find a good lyricist to give me a hand. So, don't be afraid of collaboration, most of the time, two heads are better than one. This principle also works in reverse for lyricists who have a limited amount of musical knowledge. If you find yourself with a dynamite lyric but just can’t seem to find the right melody and chord progression to compliment your great lyric then by all means turn your ideas over to a seasoned composer who can help transform your inspiration into a well written and meaningful song. Although there are no absolute rules for writing a great song, there are certain formulas and guidelines that seem to help enormously in creating songs that are pleasing to the majority of people. A commercial song is a song that has wide appeal to the masses. Pop Music, Country, and Rock and Roll are styles of music that are very popular to huge numbers of the population. Although there are exceptions to the rules in songwriting, most popular songs are very simple in structure. A song that comes to mind that seemed to break all the rules of formula writing is Jimmy Web's (MacCarther Park). It is truly a wonderful song, but it definitely does not fit into the mainstream of popular songwriting. To begin with the song is about 7 minutes long. Most pop songs are about 3 minutes in length. Some songs, especially ballads can go as long as 4 minutes, but that is pushing it. Most radio programmers do not want to play songs longer than about 3, or 3 and a half minutes in length. The song MacCarther Park also has a very complex chord progression and melody, not to mention lyrical content that is definitely out of the norm. I think you get the picture, although there are certain formulas that work very well in writing popular songs, that doesn't mean you can't break the rules if you choose to. For beginner and amateur songwriters I think it is a wise decision to keep to the rules and keep your writing as simple as possible, without compromising your creativity. If you were to read one of the books that list the top songs of the year, from away back when until the present time, you would find that the majority of the hit songs use popular and proven song structures, have only 3 or 4 chords in their chord progressions and the lyrical content is also not exceptionally complicated, but simply directed at arousing emotions in the listener.

  • Master's Thesis
    I Know I Am Someone: Michael Jackson, Thriller, and American Identity by Sara Tenenbaum B.A. in American Studies, May 2006, Brandeis University A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of George Washington University in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 15, 2011 Thesis Directed by James A. Miller Professor of English and American Studies © Copyright 2011 by Sara Tenenbaum All rights reserved ii Abstract of Thesis "I Know I Am Someone: Michael Jackson, Thriller, and American Identity" This thesis addresses the cultural phenomenon surrounding Michael Jackson's 1982 album Thriller and uses it as a lens through which to view and analyze the development of a distinct American, primarily youth, identity in 1983 and 1984. It is structured using a three-prong approach that first analyzes the sonic work of the music of Thriller, second explores the characteristics of Michaelmania and the youth identity being constructed within the Michael Jackson pop explosion, and third analyzes the backlash from both the white and African American communities against Jackson in that time to illuminate his subversion and danger to the status quo. I argue that Jackson's act of profound crossover during the Thriller era triggered within the American youth an equally profound act of identity formation that transcended racial stratification in America's past and created a foundational part of our contemporary identity that moves slightly beyond America's troubled racial history. Using both the voices of his fans and his critics to tease out the work his person and his music did in the early 1980's, I advocate we keep Jackson and his work foregrounded in our study of popular culture in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, as his pop explosion fundamentally and permanently effected how Americans understand ourselves and our relations with each other.

  • The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games
    © Copyright 2019 Terrence E. Schenold The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games Terrence E. Schenold A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Brian M. Reed, Chair Leroy F. Searle Phillip S. Thurtle Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English University of Washington Abstract The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games Terrence E. Schenold Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Brian Reed, Professor English The Poetics of Reflection in Digital Games explores the complex relationship between digital games and the activity of reflection in the context of the contemporary media ecology. The general aim of the project is to create a critical perspective on digital games that recovers aesthetic concerns for game studies, thereby enabling new discussions of their significance as mediations of thought and perception. The arguments advanced about digital games draw on philosophical aesthetics, media theory, and game studies to develop a critical perspective on gameplay as an aesthetic experience, enabling analysis of how particular games strategically educe and organize reflective modes of thought and perception by design, and do so for the purposes of generating meaning and supporting expressive or artistic goals beyond amusement. The project also provides critical discussion of two important contexts relevant to understanding the significance of this poetic strategy in the field of digital games: the dynamics of the contemporary media ecology, and the technological and cultural forces informing game design thinking in the ludic century. The project begins with a critique of limiting conceptions of gameplay in game studies grounded in a close reading of Bethesda's Morrowind, arguing for a new a "phaneroscopical perspective" that accounts for the significance of a "noematic" layer in the gameplay experience that accounts for dynamics of player reflection on diegetic information and its integral relation to ergodic activity.

  • The Devils' Dance
    THE DEVILS’ DANCE TRANSLATED BY THE DEVILS’ DANCE HAMID ISMAILOV DONALD RAYFIELD TILTED AXIS PRESS POEMS TRANSLATED BY JOHN FARNDON The Devils’ Dance جينلر بازمي The jinn (often spelled djinn) are demonic creatures (the word means ‘hidden from the senses’), imagined by the Arabs to exist long before the emergence of Islam, as a supernatural pre-human race which still interferes with, and sometimes destroys human lives, although magicians and fortunate adventurers, such as Aladdin, may be able to control them. Together with angels and humans, the jinn are the sapient creatures of the world. The jinn entered Iranian mythology (they may even stem from Old Iranian jaini, wicked female demons, or Aramaic ginaye, who were degraded pagan gods). In any case, the jinn enthralled Uzbek imagination. In the 1930s, Stalin’s secret police, inveigling, torturing and then executing Uzbekistan’s writers and scholars, seemed to their victims to be the latest incarnation of the jinn. The word bazm, however, has different origins: an old Iranian word, found in pre-Islamic Manichaean texts, and even in what little we know of the language of the Parthians, it originally meant ‘a meal’. Then it expanded to ‘festivities’, and now, in Iran, Pakistan and Uzbekistan, it implies a riotous party with food, drink, song, poetry and, above all, dance, as unfettered and enjoyable as Islam permits. I buried inside me the spark of love, Deep in the canyons of my brain. Yet the spark burned fiercely on And inflicted endless pain. When I heard ‘Be happy’ in calls to prayer It struck me as an evil lure.
