Beardyman: Beatboxer and inventor! Beardyman, AKA Darren Foreman, was studying product design at Brighton University in the UK when he started beatboxing. After winning two consecutive UK Beatbox Championships, he turned to live looping (recording and playing back audio samples in real time) as a way to layer his vocal ablutions into dance- floor-rocking hour-long sets. He released his debut album in 2011 and has been rocking stages all over the world ever since.! Working with DMGAudio, Beardyman built what he calls the "Beardytron_5000 mkII," a real-time music- production system that could be the solution to the problem of how to smash a dance floor using only your voice -- and how to compose and produce complex and highly nuanced electronic dance music in !real time. “There was nothing available that does what I need, so I was forced to make it myself," he says.!

Frustrated by not being able to sing two notes at the same time, musical inventor Beardyman built a machine to allow him to create loops and layers from just the sounds he makes with his voice.

Sit back and let the wall of sound of this dazzling performance wash over you.! Beardyman, “ruler of beats and destroyer of dance floors,” has developed a real-time music-production !system that places live looping at the center of a new musical paradigm.! !Now watch the video.! Answer the following questions in pairs.! Do you play a musical instrument? If so, which?! Would you like to be a professional musician?! What is your favourite type of music?! If you could listen to music during exams, what music would you play?! ! !READING! How to Ask Your Parents to Let You Go to a Concert! Edited by Flickety, Bo, 1guitarhero2, Sondra C and 7 others! From http://www.wikihow.com/Ask-Your-Parents-to-Let-You-Go-to-a-Concert! ! So you want to go to that cool rock group that is coming to town. The tickets are on sale, people are going. But not you! This is the guide to convince your parents to let you go!! Steps! 1 Make plans. Get a group of people together since most likely, your parents will want to know that you're not alone. Make these plans far ahead of time, figure out exactly what you're going to do and where you'll be going.! 2 Choose a show. Consider this decision carefully, especially if you're sixteen years old or younger. It will be a big step for your parents to allow you to go to a show, even more so if it's not close to home. Choose a band or artist that you know you will have some chance of seeing without your parents going ballistic. Try to keep the choice as reasonable as possible (i.e. don't try to go see Blink 182 as your first show UNLESS for some reason, your parents like them, then its okay).! 3 Get your tickets. Save up your money and buy tickets so that you'll be able to guarantee going to the show and prove that you're really serious about going.! 4 Tell the parents. Give them notice about a month or even two months ahead of time. This should be enough time to let them think about your plans, even if you're already set on going. Don't expect an answer right away and be patient. This will show them that you're mature enough to go in the first place.! 5 Give details. Your parents will most likely want to know about the bands, what sort of music they will be playing, and possibly even want to see song lyrics. Don't hold back this information. Most likely, if you do, your parents will feel as though you're keeping something from them and won't trust you.! 6 State your responsibility. You are paying for your own ticket, and are going with a group of people. Let them know that all you need is permission and that everything else is taken care of. This will show that you're responsible enough to take care of yourself.! 7 Keep them in the know. Once you've left for the show and are headed to the venue, make sure to keep your phone near so that if they call or text, they can get in touch with you. If they can't, they might !suspect something is wrong and panic.! Look at these sentences from the text. What do they have in common?! Consider this decision carefully, especially if you're sixteen years old or younger.! It will be a big step for your parents to allow you to go to a show, even more so if it's not close to home.! This should be enough time to let them think about your plans, even if you're already set on going.! Don't hold back this information.

Are the conditions and the consequences real or just hypothesis?! GRAMMAR 1! Conditional sentences! Conditional sentences are formed by two clauses, one expressing the condition (normally introduced by if) and another expressing the consequence. When the condition comes first, we normally use a comma to separate both clauses. We can also use other words to introduce the condition: provided, providing, supposing, as long as, on condition that. We can also use unless to introduce the condition, with the meaning of if not.! In very formal language, when if is followed by an auxiliary verb, we can invert the order of the auxiliary and the subject and omit if.! ! Had he played well, they would have won. = If he had played well, they would have won.! ! 1. Zero conditional! We use this type of conditional when the consequence is always true, as in scientific statements. Quite often, you can replace if by when.! ! If you heat ice, it melts. / When you heat ice, it melts.! Both the condition and the consequence are in Present Simple.! ! If I practice, I play well. / When I practice, I play well.! !I don’t play well if I don’t practice. / I don’t play well unless I practice.! ! Do your parents get angry if you come home late?! ! If you come home late, do your parents get angry?! EXERCISES! Complete the sentences with the verbs in brackets. Use Zero conditional.!

If you _______________ (heat) water to 100ºC, it ______________ (boil).! !Oil _______________ (float) if you _______________ (pour) it on water.! 2. First conditional! We use First conditional when it is possible and very likely that the condition will be fulfilled. The condition is expressed in Present Simple and the consequence with will + base form of the verb. When the condition comes first, we use a comma to separate both clauses.! ! If I see her, I’ll ask her about the book.! !I’ll ask her about the book if I see her.! ! He won’t pass his exams unless he works hard.! Other possible combinations are Present Simple + Imperative, Present Simple + modal verbs and Present Continuous + will.! ! Don’t come if you feel ill. / Come if you feel well.! !If they come before six, they can join us.! ! If they are coming for lunch, we’ll have to buy more food.! We can use other expressions instead of if, as we saw earlier.! !!!He will pass his exams provided he works hard.! !!!He will pass his exams providing he works hard.!

The Beatles revolution- ized the recording process using technology to achieve completely unprecedented sounds and arrangements. Until then, popular music recordings were simply faithful reproductions of a live performance. Over the past fifty years, recording and production techniques have advanced so far that another challenge has arisen: it is now very difficult for performing artists to give a live performance that has the same impact, complexity and nuance as a produced studio recording.

His knowledge was a lifeline, for I could always count on his informed opinion, but his greatest aid was in letting me make my own mistakes, and then hinting at various ways to resolve them. It showed me that he was convinced that I was capable of finding my way out of the dead ends, and would overcome the trials and tribulations of writing a thesis. Thank you for believing in me, my brother. To my dear advisor, professor João Soeiro de Carvalho, I have nothing but words of gratitude.

  • Philip Uppsats Uppdaterad
    Course: FG0045 Examensarbete 15 credits Spring 2015 Master of Arts in Education Department of Music Education Advisor: Ronny Lindeborg Philip Sherman Boots and cats! Beatboxing from a pedagogical perspective Abstract This thesis attempts to discover how and when beatboxers learn this art form, and also if that differs depending on when they were born. My hypothesis was that beatboxers who grew up without the aid of YouTube and similar online resources learned it in a fundamentally different way than those born into the Internet Age. I also wanted to find out if they were happy about the way they learned beatboxing, or if they in general would have preferred a more methodical and pedagogical structure to their learning. I posted a questionnaire on numerous social media forums in addition to personally sending it to many beatboxing friends and acquaintances, receiving 47 replies in total. Most respondents had learned beatboxing in high school or college, but many of the younger beatboxers had learned it earlier, which I believe is due to its increasing popularity. The study found that while approximately a third of the respondents were happy with the way they had learned, nearly half expressed a wish for a more structured, methodical learning process or a teacher to help them progress. I believe the findings of this study highlight a need for beatboxing to be included as a future instrument in music pedagogy education programs to help the next generation of beatboxers in the progression of this art form. Keywords: beatbox, beatboxing, vocal percussion, pedagogy, methodology, a cappella, vocal group Table of contents 1.

  • The Evaluation and Assessment of Electronically-Composed and Performed Music
    2017 HAWAII UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES ARTS, HUMANITIES, SOCIAL SCIENCES & EDUCATION JANUARY 3 - 6, 2017 ALA MOANA HOTEL, HONOLULU, HAWAII THE EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRONICALLY-COMPOSED AND PERFORMED MUSIC MACKEY, RYAN CENTRAL CHRISTIAN COLLEGE OF KANSAS MUSIC DEPARTMENT THE EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRONICALLY-COMPOSED AND -PERFORMED MUSIC The Rt. Rev. Ryan Mackey, OCC, OSA, MA, MM Department of Music Central Christian College of Kansas 1 Abstract + Some purveyors of traditional music may see the introduction of electronics and electronic instruments as stains on the grand tapestry of music; yet there are many composers and performers who have embraced the possibilities that can emanate from technology and deftly woven those threads into this aural tapestry. A significant step toward equal footing with Western art music is to critically evaluate and assess electronically-composed and -performed music. This paper will address issues of evaluating and assessing electronically-composed and - performed music, especially as it relates to defining composition, discussing "skill," and contemplating musical literacy. 2 Introduction + As one who teaches both music history and music technology I have been caused a reasonable level of consternation by the divide which has gradually formed between historic formal/concert music and popular music. As one who teaches on everything from the Grecian modes to drum ‘n’ bass music I stand in the midst of that divide and give credence to both sides. As one who teaches music technology I remind my students that audio recording is not just rock ‘n’ roll – it encompasses all genres of music. These thoughts became increasingly present to me as I began to focus more of my compositional efforts towards technology, specifically the use of computer-generated audio, both in composition and performance.
