  • Does the Primetime Television Upfront Still Matter? by Steve Sternberg
    May 2019 #62 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Does the Primetime Television Upfront Still Matter? By Steve Sternberg For American television viewers, the start of the new primetime television season is still four months away. For insiders at media agencies, networks, and advertisers, however, the Upfront season is placing thoughts of September squarely into May. Of course, the very idea of a fall TV season in today’s video world seems old fashioned. The broadcast networks might still adhere to fall and mid-season schedules for debuting new shows, but their competitors do not. Ad-supported cable networks premiere many new series when the broadcast nets are airing repeats and some limited-run series (mostly non-sweeps months and the summer). Premium cable networks, such as HBO, Showtime, and Starz, air new shows throughout the year. Streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, release full seasons of new series whenever they happen to be ready. CBS All Access does as well, although it releases new episodes on a weekly schedule, rather than all at once. In a television landscape of 10-episode cable series, and streaming services where you can binge- watch entire seasons, viewers don’t necessarily think in terms of TV seasons anymore. Nevertheless, the broadcast networks still hold onto a schedule that starts in the fall. Throughout April and May, cable and broadcast networks give presentations to the ad industry in which they unveil their fall schedules and discuss

  • Barbershop: a Cappella's Martial Art by Deke Sharon You're Young, You
    Barbershop: A Cappella’s Martial Art By Deke Sharon You're young, you're scrappy. You want to be the best. You started singing in school, like everyone: choir, maybe a couple musicals. Karaoke with some friends, talent shows. Then some collegiate a cappella. But you don't want to just be fine. That's not enough. You want to be great. You want technique, you want moves. You need to learn karate...except contemporary a cappella doesn't have a traditional refined martial art...does it? It does. It's called Barbershop. And you're about to get the best schooling a young'un can, including: BLEND: There's no blend like a barbershop blend. They don't just match their vowels, they align their diphthongs as they sweep from one vowel to the next. Four guys sounding like one guy. Why does blend matter? Because each vowel has a very specific "fingerprint" — frequencies in the harmonic series— and when the vowels are perfectly aligned, it helps lock down... TUNING: You think four voices can only create four notes? Guess again. When you lock your voices into perfect tune with the same vowels you cannot only create additional notes above yours, you can even create the perception of a bass note below the human vocal range. That's right, that's the vocal equivalent of some kind of dark arts ninja magic. But it works, and it happens every day, along with... DYNAMICS: Pop music on the radio has had the life squashed out of it. Learn how to sing quieter than you thought you could, and make a group sound that's louder than you have, without microphones.

  • Abstract Phd a Cappella Arraning English
    Abstract: „Contemporary A Cappella - Arranging and Producing“ My PhD-thesis gives an insight into contemporary a cappella arranging. It focuses on two a cappella groups of the United States who emerged from the a cappella boom since the foundation of Contemporary A Cappella Society by Deke Sharon in the year 1991. Both Groups, each won the a cappella casting show The Sing off - Pentatonix in 2011 and Home Free in 2012 - and started/continued their career as professional a cappella singers. I will mainly focus on the arrangements of Pentatonix and Home Free in terms of writing- and production process and in what way the Music is released as media (CD, Spotify, iTunes, music video and sheet music). By using music analysis I am trying to understand how the arrangements of the above mentioned groups are processed and what techniques they use. With this knowledge I plan to explore these ideas via qualitativ empirical methods in the field of contemporary a cappella: interviews with arrangers, producers and a cappella singers, participating observation through camps, rehearsals and concerts, and being part of production-, mixing- and mastering sessions with the a cappella groups, arrangers and audio engineers. After gathering these informations I’m planing to transform them into a (german) „how to…“-guide for music teachers and conductors to create their own arrangement „in the style of …“. My central aim is to combine popular music research with music pedagogy to feed back knowledge I achieved to the actors in the field. Keywords: a cappella, arrangement, contemporary, popular music, Pentatonix, Home Free Max Stadler is a professional a cappella arranger, singer and conductor.
