    30-05-2008, Primavera Sound Festival, Barcelona 3rd Bridge Helix From Experimental Punk to Ancient Chinese Music & Universal Physical Laws of Consonance This article is a written excerpt of my lecture I gave at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona about my self built musical instruments. I explained what kind of instruments I make, why I make them and for which bands. I showed the audience my own copies and played a little on those instruments. Additionally I gave a deeper explanation about one particular instrument I have created, the Moodswinger. After finishing this instrument I rediscovered this instrument is not only a musical instrument, but also a educational measurement instrument which shows a universal system of consonant values based on simple physical laws. I discovered all musical scaling systems all over the world are derived from this basical system, inclusive the worst inharmonic deviated tuning system of all these variations, our Western 12-tone logaritmic equal tempered scale. - Yuri Landman The Beginning I bought my first guitar and bass guitar when I was 18. I always had a fascination for direct and simple punk rock structures instead of highly practised virtuose guitar playing used in symphonic rock and hard rock. In line of this estethical rule I refused to take traditional guitar lessons from a jazz or blues guitar teacher. I took notice of some chords and know where to put my fingers for a C7 or minor D-chord, but I have never practised long enough to play them well. I cannot even play Nirvana’s Polly properly for instance.

  • Musical Acoustics - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 11/07/13 17:28 Musical Acoustics from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Musical acoustics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/07/13 17:28 Musical acoustics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Musical acoustics or music acoustics is the branch of acoustics concerned with researching and describing the physics of music – how sounds employed as music work. Examples of areas of study are the function of musical instruments, the human voice (the physics of speech and singing), computer analysis of melody, and in the clinical use of music in music therapy. Contents 1 Methods and fields of study 2 Physical aspects 3 Subjective aspects 4 Pitch ranges of musical instruments 5 Harmonics, partials, and overtones 6 Harmonics and non-linearities 7 Harmony 8 Scales 9 See also 10 External links Methods and fields of study Frequency range of music Frequency analysis Computer analysis of musical structure Synthesis of musical sounds Music cognition, based on physics (also known as psychoacoustics) Physical aspects Whenever two different pitches are played at the same time, their sound waves interact with each other – the highs and lows in the air pressure reinforce each other to produce a different sound wave. As a result, any given sound wave which is more complicated than a sine wave can be modelled by many different sine waves of the appropriate frequencies and amplitudes (a frequency spectrum). In humans the hearing apparatus (composed of the ears and brain) can usually isolate these tones and hear them distinctly. When two or more tones are played at once, a variation of air pressure at the ear "contains" the pitches of each, and the ear and/or brain isolate and decode them into distinct tones.

  • Guitar Harmonics - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Guitar Harmonics from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    3/14/2016 Guitar harmonics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Guitar harmonics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A guitar harmonic is a musical note played by preventing or amplifying vibration of certain overtones of a guitar string. Music using harmonics can contain very high pitch notes difficult or impossible to reach by fretting. Guitar harmonics also produce a different sound quality than fretted notes, and are one of many techniques used to create musical variety. Contents Basic and harmonic oscillations of a 1 Technique string 2 Overtones 3 Nodes 4 Intervals 5 Advanced techniques 5.1 Pinch harmonics 5.2 Tapped harmonics 5.3 String harmonics driven by a magnetic field 6 See also 7 References Technique Harmonics are primarily generated manually, using a variety of techniques such as the pinch harmonic. Another method utilizes sound wave feedback from a guitar amplifier at high volume, which allows for indefinite vibration of certain string harmonics. Magnetic string drivers, such as the EBow, also use string harmonics to create sounds that are generally not playable via traditional picking or fretting techniques. Harmonics are most often played by lightly placing a finger on a string at a nodal point of one of the overtones at the moment when the string is driven. The finger immediately damps all overtones that do not have a node near the location touched. The lowest-pitch overtone dominates the resulting sound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_harmonics 1/6 3/14/2016 Guitar harmonics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Overtones When a guitar string is plucked normally, the ear tends to hear the fundamental frequency most prominently, but the overall sound is also 0:00 MENU colored by the presence of various overtones (integer multiples of the Tuning a guitar using overtones fundamental frequency).

  • Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’S Development As a “Crossover” Musician
    FORMS OF INTERTEXTUALITY: KEITH EMERSON’S DEVELOPMENT AS A “CROSSOVER” MUSICIAN Akitsugu Kawamoto A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: John Covach Reader: John Nádas Reader: Severine Neff Reader: Allen Anderson Reader: David Garcia © 2006 Akitsugu Kawamoto ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT AKITSUGU KAWAMOTO: Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’s Development as a “Crossover” Musician (Under the direction of John Covach) Despite the broad range of attempts to mix “rock” and “classical” music by “progressive (“prog”) rock” musicians from the late 1960s, many writers on prog rock have interpreted the music in a relatively monolithic manner; they often have interpreted the resulting intertextuality simplistically as an elitist experiment that opposes rock’s populist origin. This could certainly be one interpretation of prog, but it is only one of many; there are additional kinds of possible narratives, according to the specific ways in which the materials are combined and fused. Yet the variety of intertextual approaches has rarely been recognized explicitly, and little analytical or musicological attention has been paid to the distinctly different intertextual styles. Generalized approaches to intertextuality have been common not only within popular music studies, however, but also within many humanistic fields. Since Julia Kristeva’s coinage of the term intertextuality in the late 1960s, theorists of the arts (literature, music, painting, architecture, etc.), sociology, politics, economics, and many other fields, have almost always treated intertextuality in a singular manner, presuming that all intertextual practices are more or less of the same kind.

Kasper en Elise praten hierover met Laurine Jansen Zij is muziekterapeut bij www. Ik ben inderdaad muziektherapeut voor volwassenen met een verstandelijke beperking. Daarnaast geef ik ook gitaarlessen speciaal gericht op het begeleiden van liederen. Als muziektherapeut begeleidt ik verstandelijk beperkten en volwassenen. Ik richt me op de sociale en emotionele ontwikkeling van cliënten. Samen muziek maken helpt om nieuw gedrag te ontwikkelen of om woorden te vinden bij gevoelens die ze uit zichzelf niet kunnen vinden. Ik heb groepen en individuele cliënten. Bij bijvoorbeeld rouwverwerking begin ik vaak individueel, maar als dat verwerkt is stel ik vaak voor dat die persoon in een groep terecht komt. Dat stimuleer ik heel erg. Ik probeer er voor te zorgen dat kinderen niet verkrampen. Lach samen om fouten. Ik lach ook enorm veel in de therapieën. Dan is de spanning gebroken. Het is belangrijk om op de laag van de emotie te komen. Daar kun je kinderen mee helpen. Dat helpt ze om gevoelens te uiten. Of je kunt nieuw gedrag aanleren met muziektherapie. Ik creëer situaties waarin kinderen dan nieuwe dingen tegen komen. Dan kunnen ze kiezen tussen een oude situatie en een nieuwe. Dan kiezen ze vaak voor de oude. De volgende keer doe ik dan twee nieuwe situaties. Dan moeten ze wel iets nieuws kiezen. Maar voor laat ik ze genieten van de muziek! Hersenen worden beïnvloed door muziek.

  • String Vibration a Vibration in a String Is a Wave
    String vibration A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch. If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone. Vibrating strings are the basis of string instruments such as guitars, cellos, and pianos. Contents Wave Derivation Frequency of the wave Vibration, standing waves in a string. The Observing string vibrations fundamental and the first 5 overtones in the harmonic series. See also References External links Wave The velocity of propagation of a wave in a string ( ) is proportional to the square root of the force of tension of the string ( ) and inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density ( ) of the string: This relationship was discovered by Vincenzo Galilei in the late 1500s. Derivation Source:[1] Let be the length of a piece of string, its mass, and its linear density. If the horizontal component of tension in the string is a constant, , then the tension acting on each side of the string segment is given by 1 4 If both angles are small, then the tensions on either side are equal and the net horizontal force is zero. From Newton's second law for the vertical component, the mass of this piece times its acceleration, , will be equal to the net force on the piece: Dividing this expression by and substituting the first and second equations obtains The tangents of the angles at the ends of the string piece are equal to the slopes at the ends, with an additional minus sign due to the definition of alpha and beta.

  • Authentic Connectivity: a Pedagogue's Loving Responsibility
    Authentic Connectivity: A Pedagogue’s Loving Responsibility by Madeleine Azzola A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Learning and Teaching Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto © Copyright by Madeleine Azzola, 2014 Authentic Connectivity: A Pedagogue’s Loving Responsibility Madeleine Azzola Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Learning and Teaching Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto 2014 Abstract I learned to authentically connect by observing the pedagogues who mentored me. My lived experience with them inspired me to base my pedagogical approach on the constructs of community and engagement that youth dismantled by displaying increasing disengagement, which transferred into disaffected relationships. This reflexive/narrative autoethnography investigates the problematic phenomenon affecting youth: the loss of authentic connectivity. I critically examine my professional journey with pre- digital, digital, and post-digital university students by analysing our common, cultural context, thereby interpreting my behaviour, thoughts, and experiences in relation to them. Hermeneutic phenomenology’s framework deepens the inquiry, as it involves a broader cultural, political, and social understanding to uncover deeper meaning in changing behaviours by reflecting on what is the lived experience of authentic connectivity for youth. My comprehensive research evidences that youth’s technological addiction has influenced rapid brain evolution, and exploded their visual and multimodal skills. Neuroscience has broadly concluded that the new forms of learning technology offers are changing the way the brain processes information. I suggest that youth are experiencing a biological conflict, the brain’s ii rapid evolution overwhelming more slowly evolving physical responses, effectively interfering with the flow of affective information that requires hemispheric transfer.

    Tele Guitar Kit Assembly Instructions WWW.byoguitar.com Assembling Your Guitar California requires the following notice: WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paints. Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products. Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. - 1 - Assembling Your Guitar Warning Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the methods stated in this manual. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know your skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same result. Warning These instructions assume that you are familiar with the safe operation and use of woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to assemble this project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for your own safety.
