J.-P. Martens, prof. dr. M. Leman Proefschrift ingediend tot het behalen van de graad van Doctor in de Ingenieurswetenschappen Vakgroep Elektronica en Informatiesystemen Voorzitter: prof. dr. ir. R. Van de Walle Faculteit Ingenieurswetenschappen en Architectuur Academiejaar 2015 - 2016 ISBN 978-90-8578-883-6 NUR 962, 965 Wettelijk depot: D/2016/10.500/15 Abstract Chords and keys are two ways of describing music. They are exemplary of a general class of symbolic notations that musicians use to exchange in- formation about a music piece. This information can range from simple tempo indications such as “allegro” to precise instructions for a performer of the music. Concretely, both keys and chords are timed labels that de- scribe the harmony during certain time intervals, where harmony refers to the way music notes sound together. Chords describe the local harmony, whereas keys offer a more global overview and consequently cover a se- quence of multiple chords. Common to all music notations is that certain characteristics of the mu- sic are described while others are ignored. The adopted level of detail de- pends on the purpose of the intended information exchange. A simple de- scription such as “menuet”, for example, only serves to roughly describe the character of a music piece. Sheet music on the other hand contains precise information about the pitch, discretised information pertaining to timing and limited information about the timbre.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.

  • The Knife Music Snobs Inc
    The Knife Music Snobs Inc. A collection of expert witnesses making sweeping generalizations about the scene. Facebook Talk to The Knife A few years ago in a dimly lit living room in Bangalore, amid an assembly of projectors and new friends late at night, Rahul Giri would meet Tanvi Rao. Lounge Piranha guitarist Abhijeet Tambe would host these mini house parties, periodically throwing into a room an abundance of burgeoning talent, and they subconsciously became the messing­around ground for a sub­scene. Vocalists met producers met writers met opera singers, and into the early hours of the morning, collaborations would appear and disappear, occasionally leaving behind something that would last far longer. Those nebulous evenings caused the intermingling of some of the most spectacular music in the country­ illustrated alt rock from Lounge Piranha, volatile operatic­pop from Sridhar/Thayil, fragments of future psychedelic bands, and the evaporative electronica of Sulk Station. Till You Appear is mellowdramatic/downtempo act Sulk Station’s long awaited debut, a sweeping fifty minutes of rainwashed music that slowly drips blue­grey all over your surroundings. It’s been on loop since its release four days ago, we’re all waiting to get sick of it, but it just isn’t happening. Giri has built an ominous castle of echoes to surround Rao’s glassy vocals, a crystalline presage. With its recurring themes of lostness, Till You Appear soundtracks an unhurried yet frantic timelapse of a life spent in yearning. By virtue of its own distinct sound, different music exists at different altitudes; rock and roll was always closer home and earthly, dirty when at its best.

Alain Badiou is undoubtedly the most exciting and influential voice in contemporary French philosophy and one of the most important theorists at work today.

The track opens with nearly a full minute of dark, spacious chords ringing out from a Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Fender Twin , with the bass cranked with the onboard tremolo cranked to deliver the pulsing vibe that gives the song its underlying rhythm.

In this projeCt, I investigate the interseCtions of faith, environmental justiCe, and speCulative futures in both Christian and popular literature and media in the US. Utilizing analysis based in interpretive methodologies and my own experience as a politiCal educator and organizer, I analyze speCifiC narratives in works of faith and fiCtion—eaCh attempting to address environmental apocalypse, colleCtive struggles for survival, and the processes of building livable futures—as works of politiCal theory. I examine literary and cultural texts and consider ideas, values, beliefs, and strategies for surviving and adapting in the faCe of varying potent apocalypses.
