  • Deftones Annonserer Albumet Ohms
    Deftones - Ohms 21-08-2020 11:40 CEST Deftones annonserer albumet Ohms Det GRAMMY-prisvinnende og internasjonalt kritikerroste bandet Deftones har annonsert at det etterlengtede albumet, Ohms, utgis 25. september via Warner Records. Annonseringen kommer sammen med det episke tittelsporet, ny video regissert av Rafatoon og oppdatert hjemmeside via deftones.com. Spekuleringen rundt det kommende albumet blant fans har feid over medielandskapet og satte fyr på nysgjerrigheten i det bandets hjemmeside og sosiale medier ble mørke. Dette fortsatte å øke da bandet røpet album coveret uten noen videre tilleggsinformasjon. Coveret er designet av deres mangeårige samarbeidspartner Frank Maddocks (som også designet det ikoniske White Pony LP coveret), og det fengslende bildet av to øyne bestående av tusener av hvite piksler dukket kryptisk opp på en billboard i den kulturelle kjernen av Los Angeles på Fairfax Avenue over den ikoniske restauranten Canter's Deli med skriften "This Is Our Time...We Devour The Days Ahead." Ohms ble innspilt på Henson Studios og Trainwreck Studios og er et utenomjordisk arbeid laget av kvintetten. Det markerer også deres første album på fire år siden kritikerroste Gore i 2016. Bandet, som består av Chino Moreno, Frank Delgado, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, og Sergio Vega, har produsert en kompakt plate der hvert bandmedlem leverer på sitt beste. Albumet har også med seg en velkjent samarbeidspartner i veteran produsent og ingeniør Terry Date, som jobbet på Adrenaline (1995), Around The Fur (1997) og White Pony (2000). Alt dette legger til rette for å levere Ohms; 10 spor med rå virkelighetsfrukt og enestående groove som har gjort Deftones' sound eksepsjonell i over to år.

Pianist Tommy Flanagan was among the players on the recording, which was 10/31 David Amram notable stylistically for a movement away from chordal Multi-instrumentalist/ composer/ author jazz. This reissue of Flanagan’s 1982 Giant Steps is an homage to Coltrane, repeating several of the tracks while adding “Central Park West”. During the ‘80s, Photo copyright Richard Conde. THE NATIONAL JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM 104 EAST 126TH STREET, SUITE 2C DONATION SUGGESTED 6:30 - 8:30PM FOR MORE INFORMATION: 212-348-8300 Flanagan favored trios and frequently played with Czech-born bassist George Mraz. Theirs was a felicitous coming together as evident here and recalled fondly by denizens of Bradley’s, a long-gone-but-not-forgotten Village jazz spot where they appeared frequently. Flanagan is notably more confident with what had been a new idiom the first time around. That sureness of technical facility is evident from the first note to the last and the same is true for Mraz. By this time the latter had become one of the most dependable of October 4: FFEAR rhythm men. Together they are as close as pages in a $18 ADVANCE $20 AT DOOR book on a funky “Cousin Mary”.

  • Common Errors in English by Paul Brians Paulbrians@Gmail.Com
    Common Errors in English by Paul Brians paulbrians@gmail.com http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/ (Brownie points to anyone who catches inconsistencies between the main site and this version.) Note that italics are deliberately omitted on this page. What is an error in English? The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. But isn't one person's mistake another's standard usage? Often enough, but if your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it. You have the right to express yourself in any manner you please, but if you wish to communicate effectively you should use nonstandard English only when you intend to, rather than fall into it because you don't know any better. I'm learning English as a second language. Will this site help me improve my English? Very likely, though it's really aimed at the most common errors of native speakers. The errors others make in English differ according to the characteristics of their first languages. Speakers of other languages tend to make some specific errors that are uncommon among native speakers, so you may also want to consult sites dealing specifically with English as a second language (see http://www.cln.org/subjects/esl_cur.html and http://esl.about.com/education/adulted/esl/).

  • GIVING a JAZZ RECORD AS a GIFT by Eric Myers National Times, December 7, 1980 ______
    GIVING A JAZZ RECORD AS A GIFT by Eric Myers National Times, December 7, 1980 ______________________________________________________________ The National Times opera critic JOHN CARMODY, Sydney Morning Herald jazz critic ERIC MYERS and rock writer SHANE NICHOLS prepared this guide to records most likely to be gratefully received. They cover a range of tastes and should be available. ______________________________________________________________ f you are buying a jazz record as a gift, you should determine the style preferred. There are so many different, although related, idioms I congregating under the banner of "jazz" that it is rarely possible, these days, to buy a "jazz" album that suits all tastes. Duke Ellington At Fargo 1940 Live (Book Of The Month Records 305622). If the recipient likes big band jazz, you could do no better than the three-record set Duke Ellington At Fargo 1940 Live (Book Of The Month Records 305622). This was a performance at the Crystal Ballroom, Fargo, North Dakota, on 1 November 7, 1940. Many critics believe, with some justice, that this particular line-up of musicians was the greatest that Ellington ever assembled. This was a special performance - the first night Ray Nance played in the trumpet section, having just replaced Cootie Williams, who had left to join Benny Goodman. Rex Stewart is also in the section. The saxophones include Barney Bigard (clarinet), Johnny Hodges (alto) and Ben Webster (tenor) among others; Tricky Sam Nanton and Lawrence Brown are among the trombones; and the great Jimmy Blanton is on bass. It is a distinguished line-up, and the band roars through the Ellington repertoire with all the qualities that made it the greatest big band in jazz.

  • Design Project: Big Beat DJ Project Overview
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering ECSE 4560: Signal Processing Design, Spring 2003 Professor: Richard Radke, JEC 7006, 276-6483 Design Project: Big Beat DJ “I never worked a day in my life; I just laid back and let the big beat lead me.” - The Jungle Brothers Project Overview A good techno DJ spins a continuous stream of music by seamlessly mixing one song into the next. This involves not only synchronizing the beats of the songs to be mixed, but also incrementally adjusting the pitches of the songs so that during the transition, neither song sounds unnatural. Your goal in this project is to use signal processing to produce a computerized DJ that can automatically produce a non-stop mix of music given a library of non-synchronized tracks as input. On top of this basic specification, additional points will be given for implementing advanced techniques like sampling, beat juggling and airbeats that make the mix more exciting. At the end of the term, the computer DJs will face off in a Battle for World Supremacy with a library of entirely novel songs. Basic Deliverables To meet the basic design requirement, your group should deliver • An m-file named bpm.m with syntax b = bpm(song) where song is the name of a music .wav file (or the vector of music samples themselves), and b is the estimated number of beats per minute in the specified song. • An m-file named songmix.m with syntax mix = = songmix(song1,song2), where mix is the resultant continuous mix between song1 and song2.
