  • The End of the Loudness War?
    The End Of The Loudness War? By Hugh Robjohns As the nails are being hammered firmly into the coffin of competitive loudness processing, we consider the implications for those who make, mix and master music. In a surprising announcement made at last Autumn's AES convention in New York, the well-known American mastering engineer Bob Katz declared in a press release that "The loudness wars are over.” That's quite a provocative statement — but while the reality is probably not quite as straightforward as Katz would have us believe (especially outside the USA), there are good grounds to think he may be proved right over the next few years. In essence, the idea is that if all music is played back at the same perceived volume, there's no longer an incentive for mix or mastering engineers to compete in these 'loudness wars'. Katz's declaration of victory is rooted in the recent adoption by the audio and broadcast industries of a new standard measure of loudness and, more recently still, the inclusion of automatic loudness-normalisation facilities in both broadcast and consumer playback systems. In this article, I'll explain what the new standards entail, and explore what the practical implications of all this will be for the way artists, mixing and mastering engineers — from bedroom producers publishing their tracks online to full-time music-industry and broadcast professionals — create and shape music in the years to come. Some new technologies are involved and some new terminology too, so I'll also explore those elements, as well as suggesting ways of moving forward in the brave new world of loudness normalisation.

The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, as the national association representing members across the surveying disciplines, has in recent years developed rapidly and reorganised into a vibrant professional body, with over 5,500 members, playing an active role in national development. Ireland has a long and notable history of surveying and measurement from the carefully aligned network of hill-top monuments constructed over 5,000 years ago, to the completion of the world’s first large-scale national mapping in the mid nineteenth century and, in the last decade, the National Seabed Survey that ranks amongst the largest marine mapping programmes undertaken anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, Ireland has one of the most open economies in the world and most of the major international IT companies have established bases in Ireland. At the same time, young Irish graduates can be found bringing their skills and enthusiasm to all corners of the world and, in many cases, returning home enriched professionally and culturally by their time abroad.

  • Chris De Burgh
    Chris de Burgh Christopher J. Davison alias Chris de Burgh, was born in Venado Tuerto, Argentina on October 15, 1948. He is the son of Charles Davison, a British diplomat, and an Irish secretary, Maeve Emily de Burgh. His childhood was rich in travel and experience due to his fathers’ diplomatic and engineering work. He grew up in different countries, such as Malta, Nigeria and Zaire. When he was 12 years old the Davison family moved to Emerald Isle, Ireland. Chris still lives there, with his wife Diane and their three children, Rosanna, Hubie, and Michael. In 1960, his grandfather, General Sir Eric de Burgh, bought an old castle ‘Bargy Castle’, which originally was built in the 12th century. After the Davisons renovated the castle, they opened it up as a half year holiday hotel for families. Chris held his first concerts in this castle and he used it to play and sing for the guests in the evenings. He learned to play the guitar by the ‘Learning by doing’ method. He studied English and French at the famous Trinity College in Dublin. This gave him ideas for his own lyrics. He began writing songs while studying French and English at Trinity College in Dublin where he earned his Master of Arts degree in French, English, and History. He also attended Malborough College in England. In 1971, Chris moved to London to pursue his music career. He was singing in a hamburger restaurant and a hair dresser's shop. He was looking for a job and was offered by a friend to sing in a recently opened restaurant in Dublin called ‘Captain Americas’.

  • Teaching Traditional Music Theory with Popular Songs
    s leaching Traditional Music Theory with Popular Songs: Pitch Structures Heather Maclachlan 1' his chapter provides a guideline for teaching conventi�nal, common­ Pr actice period music theory concepts using well-known English-language P opular songs. I developed the lessons included here in the a-ucible of the u niversity classroom while teaching music theory to undergraduate students t � Cornell University in 2007. This approach to teaching theory, therefore, as the advantage of having been created in conjunction with recent stu- d e�ts, who ultimately demonsu·ated mastery of the concepts presented and en1oyed doing so. While this tactic has not been tested with a large enough r g oup of students to provide reliable data, it is clear that the students who P�rticipated in these lessons deeply appreciated the oppo1tunity, and they at � � �s much on their course evaluations, all of which were quite positive. ndiv1duals made comments like, "It was ina-edible to hear what we were 1 earning in pieces that we knew," and "The teacher should write her own �eJctbook using examples from modern m\tSic! ! ! " This chapter represents a trst attempt at presenting this approach to a larger audience. BENEFITS OF INCORPORATING CONTEMPORARY-POP SONGS INTO TRADITIONAL MUSIC-THEORY CLASSES 'l'h. story of how I came to use this approach to music theory demonstrates s e orne important pedagogical principles. I was working as a teaching assis­ t ant for a professor of music theory who had developed a clear and consis­ t ent approach to the topic. Over the course of about 20 years, he honed his curriculum.

  • Within My First Introduction to the Estate Newsletter
    Summer/Autumn 2006 ● Issue No.12 HOLKHAM NEWSLETTER ithin my first introduction to the Estate Newsletter six months ago, I promised to continue my father’s programme of change. Change has to be handled sensitively, as some people find it difficult to adapt to. W However, it may amuse many of you who know me, to discover that I have been ‘hoisted by my own petard’, in that I have not found taking over responsibility of the Estate to be as seamless as I had expected. During the past 10 years, I have been very ‘hands-on’ at Holkham, running three or four Estate businesses and getting involved in the nitty gritty. Now, I too am learning to let go, step back from the detail and take on more of a Chairman’s role. On the subject of change, Holkham Farming Company will shortly be moving to its newly built premises at Egmere, alongside the grain store.This re-location should make its previous base at Longlands, a safer place and also allow Holkham Building Maintenance to continue to expand.As you will read on page 14, Building Maintenance has taken on nine Hector’s Housing employees and the management team has been strengthened by the appointment of David Smith, to a new position of Property Manager. Property forms a huge part of Holkham Estate’s portfolio with approximately 400 buildings (many of them listed), including 325 houses, farm barns and commercial property. It is important we accord these historic assets the care and respect they deserve, not least because of their increasing value.

  • THE SAVOY THEATRE, Limerick, Ireland EVENTS
    THE SAVOY THEATRE, Limerick, Ireland EVENTS – MARCH 1966 to FEBRUARY 1988 This is an attempt to start a comprehensive listing of events which took place at this venue. I am taking March 1966 as my start date as I am personally interested in the Savoy as a venue for rock, pop and folk shows and the first such show took place at that time. However, I am happy to accept additions for prior to that date. Hopefully, with your help, we will eventually have a full listing. The list below has been made through newspaper research and my own personal list of events which I attended between 1978 and 1987 and there are certainly many omissions. It is also likely that there are events listed here that didn’t in fact take place – some concerts were advertised or mentioned in the newspaper and were subsequently cancelled – where the cancellation was not recorded in the newspaper the listing remains. All corrections & additions welcome, supporting evidence particularly welcome. I would also love to get information about support acts – a lot of local acts would be among them and it would be great to have them recorded.
