It’s the interviewer’s job to balancing his ever-growing list of projects and break through that monotony and sometimes collaborations. “It’s more and more difficult take the musician off guard, but that’s assuming that’s why I cherish my times when I get to dig there is a guard to begin with—and in Mayer’s in the record stores like this.

He sounded a little tired, and the rundown for the unfamiliar: In the early quite frankly, I would be too had I been through part of the decade Cohen was earning his the whirlwind of the past two years. stripes on Detroit’s hip hop circuit, spinning and “I still make all my music in my bedroom scratching as DJ Haircut, until Stones Throw at home and I do it pretty much the same way Records founder Peanut Butter Wolf got a hold that I always have. I think that’s why it’s been of a couple demos Cohen had been working working,” Cohen said. “I live in Los Angeles on under the name Mayer Hawthorne. Wolf, now, yeah that’s different. I’m in West LA.

After meeting a few times, Wolf signed Mayer Hawthorne to Stones Throw, and in November of 2008, the label released Strange Arrangement on a red heart-shaped record—the title, a fitting description given the circumstances that led to it being made. “I’m sick of being asked the same questions, but I’m not sick of answering questions,” Cohen said about the constant 58 Getting it, he 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.

  • Pm-Mayer Hawthorne-07.06.2016 Pdf
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 07.06.2016 Mayer Hawthorne am 9. November im Mojo Club Mayer Hawthorne hat angefangen Soulmusik zu machen, weil es ihm als HipHop- Produzent zu aufwändig wurde, ewig lange Samples zu klären. Warum, fragte er sich, spiele ich die nicht einfach selbst ein? Zumal er eigentlich alle Instrumente, die man dafür braucht, sowieso beherrscht. Dieser Entschluss brachte dem Mann aus Ann Arbor, Michigan, im Lauf der Zeit nicht nur eine Grammy-Nominierung für sein zweites Album „How Do You Do“, sondern auch über 100 Millionen Klicks auf YouTube, Spotify und Anverwandten und die Huldigung aller großen HipHopper unserer Zeit ein. Und wenn er für jeden Soundcloud-Follower eine Stimme bekäme, würde er auf die Schnelle zum Senator eines mittelgroßen US- Bundesstaats gewählt. Zum Glück ist er kein Politiker, sondern ein begnadeter Musiker. Mayer Hawthorne war zur besten Zeit des Detroit-Hip Hop in Michigan als DJ. Er war da bevor Eminem abhaute und als Dilla noch lebte. Er legte auf und machte Rap Beats. Jetzt macht er Soul-Platten und die Rapper sampeln ihn. Jüngst erschien Mayer Hawthornes vierte Platte „Man About Town“ auf der er wie immer den Löwenanteil der Produktion allein übernahm. Außerdem spielte er fast jedes Instrument selbst ein und schrieb jeden Track. Seine Texte stammen aus seinem Leben und seinen Beobachtungen, seinem Kummer und seiner Freude. Manchmal klingen sie groovy, manchmal klingt er verletzlich und ernst. Mayer Hawthorne ist die Blaupause eines modernen Crooner, besonders wenn er live auftritt wie am 9.

  • Nova Folk... Velha Soul Os Supergrupos
    DISCOPATIA M Honorato Pimentel Nova folk... velha soul Os supergrupos Nas décadas de 1960 e 70 o termo supergrupo detinha uma aura mágica, designando músicos ilustres per se, que se juntavam para criações conjuntas – pausa sentida in memoriam dos Cream, Blind Faith, Emerson, Lake & Palmer (que mal que envelheceram) e Crosby, Stills & Nash (mais tarde CSN & Young). Amiúde estas associações implodiam vítimas dos egos desmesurados dos seus membros e das habituais dietas indulgentes de álcool e drogas, não sem antes terem alimentado a curiosidade insaciável dos media e o gáudio dos fãs. Quiçá por isso as experiências não se tenham multiplicado, ou tenham ficado circunscritas à Segunda Liga do Who’s Who do rock. Em 2009 um grupo de patuscos e talentosos músicos americanos reeditaram a fórmula, salva da pompa pelo sentido de humor indiciado no título escolhido – Monsters of Folk.
