The Roots Report: Peter Frampton at Twin River The Roots Report: Peter Frampton at Twin River Okee dokee folks … The other night I had a chance to relive a bit of my youth. I saw Peter Frampton in concert for the first time in 35+ years. Back when I was 16 years old, the Peter Frampton concert at the Civic Center was the hottest ticket in town. The show at Twin River seemed to be at capacity, but unlike the teen crowd in the ’70s this gathering was much, much, MUCH older. It was like an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” If I closed my eyes and listened, I was 16 again. But when I opened them I was shocked back to reality when I saw Frampton and the AARP crowd. After being introduced by some guy (unknown to me, anyway) in a top hat and dreadlocks as “Peter F*ckin’ Frampton,” Frampton took the Twin River stage at about 8:10. He came out playing the lead track from his blockbuster ’76 live album Frampton Comes Alive. He was backed by a four-piece band of guitar, bass, keys and drums. Without stopping, the band launched right into the next song, which was a cover of Bowie’s “Rebel, Rebel.” They continued non-stop into “Doobie Wah.” After a change of guitars from a Les Paul to a hollow body electric, Frampton led the band with “Show Me The Way” and stepped to the center microphone where his signature talk-box was waiting to wah. After this, he took a moment to address the audience. “Good evening, Lincoln. It’s very nice to have you all here. Do you come to the casino a lot?” He kept chatting and added, “I’d like to play a number … number … number.” There’s a natural echo in the event center at Twin River and he was playing with it. He went on by saying, “It sounds like I am giving an inaugural speech. Maybe I should run. I’ll be on a box of Corn Flakes. That is all I can afford.” A long guitar instrumental prefaced one of my fav Frampton songs, “Lines On My Face.” The two large screens that flanked the stage constantly distracted me from the “live” action on the stage. At times it was nice to have a better view as I enjoyed watching Frampton’s fingers wandering up and down the neck of his Les Paul. Again, Peter chatted up the crowd, “Hello … hello. This is fun. We’re having a good time. My production manager has a lot of friends here and they all seem to be Italian. I love Italians.” Then, in his best RI accent he kept on, “What the f*ck … yuse guys kill me.” When he finished with his fascination with RI Italians he embarked upon a truly amazing, instrumental version of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.” For the most part it was solely instrumental, but a few of the lines were added and “sung” through the talk-box, which proved to be a perfect pairing for the number. The audience jumped to their feet at the finish and gave it a standing ovation. It really was impressive. “I’ll Give You Money” was next in the set. The song built in intensity and the pulsing beat backed Frampton and guitarist Adam Lester while they traded solos face to face on center stage. As the jam concluded, Frampton and Lester fist bumped and finished the song. Again this brought the audience up into a standing ovation. Frampton picked up his Martin acoustic guitar and told the audience, “I wrote this next song while I was on an island. I wrote two songs that day. The other song was ‘Show Me The Way.’ I wish I had another day like that!” “Baby I Love Your Way” was the song he started into. This had folks filling in lines with Frampton’s “don’t hesi-ta-i-ate” and singing along to the chorus. Though there was no “Bob Mayo on the keyboard” in this band, Rob Arthur played the Rhodes nicely on the song’s instrumental passage. The next song brought out Frampton’s black, triple pick-up Les Paul — the guitar I have lusted over for most of my life. After strapping it on he played the highly recognizable first notes to “Do You Feel Like We Do?” Once again Frampton played the talk-box, talking to and toying with the crowd through it, “Can you hear me? Do you feel like we do? Do you want to try this?” He laughs, “Sometimes I just crack myself up!” This time Frampton swapped solos with Arthur on the keys and at one point he was viciously and quickly slapping the ivories. The extended jam concluded with Frampton introducing the band and “singing” their praises. At 9:30 the song and set wrapped and Frampton threw his guitar pick into the audience. The band then lined up and took their bows. People were again on their feet and cheering for more. The house lights came up. Surprisingly Frampton came out once again. “What’s with the house lights? Turn them off, we’re going to be longer!” The encore, a passionate version of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” concluded the night. Many folks probably still think of Peter Frampton as the blonde, teeny-bopper idol from the 1970s. He is far from that. The blonde locks are gone and replaced with tufts of grey. Now at 66 years old he is the farthest thing from a hearthrob. He was first known as an amazing guitarist with bands like The Herd and Humble Pie. It was the teens who bought the records and launched him to the icon status, but that soon faded after the follow-up to his live release, the album I’m In You, which he fortunately did NOT play any of. It seemed Frampton had faded into history. For me he sort of did. Though he has been performing and touring pretty consistently I am sure that most still think of him as a forgotten teen idol. The show at Twin River showcased his immense guitar talent and showed he is far from just a teen idol of the ’70s. He truly appears to still enjoy what he is doing as evidenced by the smile on his face as he plays. Though the show was relatively short it was just enough to remind me how much I really did enjoy Frampton’s music and how much of an impact that Frampton Comes Alive had on me when I was young. Though we are now old, closing my eyes brought me back in time and it sounded just as good, no actually BETTER than it did back then. Thanks for reading. JohnFuzek.com.

    Florian Heesch Voicing the Technological Body Some Musicological Reflections on Combinations of Voice and Technology in Popular Music ABSTRACT The article deals with interrelations of voice, body and technology in popular music from a musicological perspective. It is an attempt to outline a systematic approach to the history of music technology with regard to aesthetic aspects, taking the iden- tity of the singing subject as a main point of departure for a hermeneutic reading of popular song. Although the argumentation is based largely on musicological research, it is also inspired by the notion of presentness as developed by theologian and media scholar Walter Ong. The variety of the relationships between voice, body, and technology with regard to musical representations of identity, in particular gender and race, is systematized alongside the following cagories: (1) the “absence of the body,” that starts with the establishment of phonography; (2) “amplified presence,” as a signifier for uses of the microphone to enhance low sounds in certain manners; and (3) “hybridity,” including vocal identities that blend human body sounds and technological processing, where- by special focus is laid on uses of the vocoder and similar technologies. KEYWORDS recorded popular song, gender in music, hybrid identities, race in music, presence/ absence, disembodied voices BIOGRAPHY Dr. Florian Heesch is professor of popular music and gender studies at the University of Siegen, Germany. He holds a PhD in musicology from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He published several books and articles on music and Norse mythology, mu- sic and gender and on diverse aspects of heavy metal studies.

  • In the Studio: the Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006)
    21 In the Studio: The Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006) John Covach I want this record to be perfect. Meticulously perfect. Steely Dan-perfect. -Dave Grohl, commencing work on the Foo Fighters 2002 record One by One When we speak of popular music, we should speak not of songs but rather; of recordings, which are created in the studio by musicians, engineers and producers who aim not only to capture good performances, but more, to create aesthetic objects. (Zak 200 I, xvi-xvii) In this "interlude" Jon Covach, Professor of Music at the Eastman School of Music, provides a clear introduction to the basic elements of recorded sound: ambience, which includes reverb and echo; equalization; and stereo placement He also describes a particularly useful means of visualizing and analyzing recordings. The student might begin by becoming sensitive to the three dimensions of height (frequency range), width (stereo placement) and depth (ambience), and from there go on to con­ sider other special effects. One way to analyze the music, then, is to work backward from the final product, to listen carefully and imagine how it was created by the engineer and producer. To illustrate this process, Covach provides analyses .of two songs created by famous producers in different eras: Steely Dan's "Josie" and Phil Spector's "Da Doo Ron Ron:' Records, tapes, and CDs are central to the history of rock music, and since the mid 1990s, digital downloading and file sharing have also become significant factors in how music gets from the artists to listeners. Live performance is also important, and some groups-such as the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, and more recently Phish and Widespread Panic-have been more oriented toward performances that change from night to night than with authoritative versions of tunes that are produced in a recording studio.

  • Robotic Voice Effects
    Robotic voice effects From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_voice_effects "Robot voices" became a recurring element in popular music starting in the late twentieth century, and several methods of producing variations on this effect have arisen. Though the vocoder is by far the best-known, the following other pieces of music technology are often confused with it: Sonovox This was an early version of the talk box used to create the voice of the piano in the Sparky's Magic Piano series from 1947. It was used as the voice of many musical instruments in Rusty in Orchestraville. It was used as the voice of Casey the Train in Dumbo and The Reluctant Dragon[citation needed]. Radio jingle companies PAMS and JAM Creative Productions also used the sonovox in many stations ID's they produced. Talk box The talk box guitar effect was invented by Doug Forbes and popularized by Peter Frampton. In the talk box effect, amplified sound is actually fed via a tube into the performer's mouth and is then shaped by the performer's lip, tongue, and mouth movements before being picked up by a microphone. In contrast, the vocoder effect is produced entirely electronically. The background riff from "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi is a well-known example. "California Love" by 2Pac and Roger Troutman is a more recent recording featuring a talk box fed with a synthesizer instead of guitar. Steven Drozd of the The Flaming Lips used the talk box on parts of the groups eleventh album, At War with the Mystics, to imitate some of Wayne Coyne's repeated lyrics in the "Yeah Yeah Yeah Song".

  • Recipe for Humble Pie a Talk by Rev
    A Recipe for Humble Pie a talk by Rev. Dr. David Breeden at First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis 30 December 2018 Simple Simon met a pieman, Going to the fair; Says Simple Simon to the pieman, Let me taste your ware. Says the pieman to Simple Simon, Show me first your penny; Says Simple Simon to the pieman, Indeed I have not any. Simple Simon went a-fishing, For to catch a whale; All the water he had got, Was in his mother's pail. Simple Simon went to look If plums grew on a thistle; He pricked his fingers very much, Which made poor Simon whistle.[1] He went for water in a sieve But soon it all fell through And now poor Simple Simon Bids you all adieu! INTRODUCTION This month we’ve been considering the Soul Matters theme, “Mystery: The practice of embracing life with humility and awe.” I’ve talked about how I see humility is the best approach to how we deal with our own ideas. For one thing, all of us are situated in particular places and particular times, and so it’s difficult for any one of us to see all that much of the bigger picture of our world and its people. I’ve also discussed the difference between a fact and meaning. Reason and science are very good at finding measurable facts but not so good at finding meaning. And I’ve insisted that meaning and purpose are what most human beings really need in order to “embrace life.” And I talked about how liberal Protestantism in the United States has failed to generate much awe because of a focus on individual conscience rather than collective well-being.
