The Chöömij of Mongolia a Spectral Analysis of Overtone Singing Ronald Walcott SELECTED REPORTS in Ethnomusicology Volume II, No
Soundtransformation, Michael Ormiston & Candida Valentino Web Pages The Chöömij of Mongolia A Spectral Analysis of Overtone Singing Ronald Walcott SELECTED REPORTS IN Ethnomusicology Volume II, No. 1 1974 CHÖÖMIJ* is the Mongolian name for a solo style of overtone singing where two distinct pitch lines are sounded throughout. One, a nasal-sounding drone of relatively constant pitch, corresponds to the fundamental; the other, consisting of piercing, whistle like tones, forms a melody, line above the drone and results from the reinforcement of individual overtones within the ambitus of the 5th through 13th partials. Reinforcement of partials is achieved by characteristic changes in the shape and volume of the mouth cavity. This is reminiscent of the principle of the Jew's harp,' where a vibrating tongue sounded at the lips produces a drone fundamental which the player modifies by shaping his mouth cavity so as to form a resonance chamber of critical volume. The volume of this chamber, functioning on the principle of a Helmholtz resonator, reinforces a narrow frequency band area within an existing spectrum. This band is sufficiently narrow to enable the singer to select a given single partial above the drone in accordance with the degree of modification made by him. The principle involving the reinforcement of discrete partials by a specific shaping of the mouth cavity is thus common to both chöömij and the Jew's harp. A difference, however, lies in the physical origination of the fundamental. In the Jew's harp it is produced at the lips, in the chöömij it originates in the throat region. -
Humour Investigation: an Analysis of the Theoretical Humour Perspectives, Cultural Continuities, and Developmental Aspects Related to the Comedy of Dawn French
Humour Investigation: An Analysis of the Theoretical Humour Perspectives, Cultural Continuities, and Developmental Aspects Related to the Comedy of Dawn French Thursday, 10 May 2007 Nationally acclaimed former cartoonist and short story writer for The New Yorker, James Thurber, said that “the wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; [and] the humorist makes fun of himself” (Moncur, 2007, p. 1). Despite his misogynistic pronoun usage and the obviously unforgivable atrocity of overly Americanizing the spelling of 'humourist,' he did nicely categorize three of the methodological approaches to comedic targets. What Thurber didn't account for, however, were those comedians and comediennes who pay little to no regard for the socially constructed boundaries in form; he didn't account for the wildly transcendental Dawn French. Dawn French was born in October of 1957 in Wales and since early adulthood she has honed her humour skills through numerous television performances, a largely successful sitcom, and feature-length films with her comedic partner in crime Jennifer Saunders (Wikipedia, 2007). Though she started her career in a non- mainstream vain of comedy in the UK, her first major public debut was her starring role as Geraldine Granger on BBC1's 1990s smash situational comedy, The Vicar of Dibley (Wikipedia, 2007). Thus, the majority of her comedy has taken place in very recent times—the mid-to-late 90s and on into the current decade. While she utilizes many different comedic modes and forms, French's humour largely revolves around a few central themes and consequent philosophies. When investigating those themes, it is necessary to view her career as being dichotomously split into the Vicar of Dibley era and the subsequent post-Vicar epoch. -

Your guide to everything from craft skills, to taking your next step in the industry. 00.00.13 CHARLES Hello, I’m Charles Miller, this week we’re hearing about the world of television comedy from one of its most successful practitioners, Jon Plowman. If you haven’t heard of him don’t worry, he’s a producer not a performer but his work includes plenty of shows you will have heard of. French and Saunders, the Vicar of Dibley, Absolutely Fabulous, The Office, W1A and there are plenty more. At an event for the Media Society, Jon Plowman was interviewed by journalist Phil Harding, Jon offered his take on scripts, stars and what makes a great sitcom. 00.00.47 CHARLES Phil started by asking about Jon’s comic roots, which were back in school, he was no good at sport but he could make people laugh but he never expected that to turn into a career. 00.00.59 JON I didn’t spend my life thinking I want to make people laugh, if I thought anything, particularly a bit later than school, end of school I thought I want to be a theatre director and I was lucky enough to get a job early on at the Royal Court Theatre, with a wonderful guy called Lindsay Anderson, who made, if you’re old enough, movies like If and Oh Lucky Man and was a very, very good theatre director. -

Jovanotti È Un Personaggio Colorato, Vitale, Prezioso Di Spunti E Sollecitazioni Anche Per Chi Non Dovesse Immedesimarsi Del Tutto Nel Suo Linguaggio
5 Prefazione L’idea della Zanichelli di affidare un robusto Dizionario del Pop-Rock a due dei no- stri più appassionati e colti critici musicali, Enzo Gentile e Alberto Tonti, ripercor- rendo decenni e decenni di storia della musica leggera nelle sue varie forme ed evo- luzioni, è un segnale importante per diversi motivi. Primo fra tutti quello di ferma- re una memoria storica che ci aiuta a comprendere l’evoluzione della società dal do- poguerra ad oggi. Sì, perché la Musica è la colonna sonora del tempo, degli umori degli anni, degli ideali di un periodo, della malinconia, degli entusiasmi o della rab- bia della società nel suo procedere. Voglio dire che si può perfettamente compren- dere lo stato d’animo di un popolo attraverso la colonna sonora che lo sta accom- pagnando in quel preciso momento storico. La Musica, dalla metà degli anni ’50 in poi, attraverso straordinari artisti ha suggerito mode, ha capovolto comportamen- ti. È stata la bandiera, grazie a molti brani, di lotte politiche, di battaglie civili, di poesie di protesta, di confessioni dolenti ma anche di esaltazione collettiva. Blues, Soul, Pop, Rock, Techno e tanti altri stili, fino ad arrivare alle più interessanti ricer- che sonore che partono da Brian Eno fino a Sylvian, Fripp e Scott Walker, sono le spericolate mutazioni di un’arte in perenne trasformazione che ascolta le pulsazio- ni della vita che corre. Per questo credo che un dizionario serio del Pop-Rock sia stato non solo un atto culturale indispensabile, ma un risarcimento, grazie alla cul- tura dei due autori e dei loro sensibili collaboratori, per tanti artisti a torto consi- derati minori e qui finalmente rivalutati e segnalati per il loro talento non ricono- sciuto tempestivamente. -
BBC Press & Publicity
British Broadcasting Corporation BBC Worldwide Press Office Level 5, 6 Eden Park Drive, Macquarie Park NSW 2113 Monday March 26, 2012 UKTV ANNOUNCES A WEALTH OF AUSTRALIAN PREMIERES FOR 2012 GOING FOR GOLD, WE’LL TAKE MANHATTAN, ONE NIGHT, INSIDE MEN, FALCÓN AND NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS Australia’s UKTV today announces brand new premium drama and entertainment content for 2012 including Going for Gold, We’ll Take Manhattan, One Night, Inside Men, Falcón and the ultimate irreverent music quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks which has never before screened in Australia. Starring Doctor Who’s Matt Smith, Going for Gold (1 x 90) is the powerful and uplifting story of how two men from very different backgrounds triumphed against the odds, capturing Olympic Gold in the double sculling and embodying the battling spirit of the 1948 London games. This is the first of three dramas with a London theme. Set over one hot summer’s night when nerves are frayed and tensions ride high, One Night (4 x 50) follows four very ordinary, but very different people whose fates become intertwined by a seemingly trivial event…with far reaching consequences. It’s winter 1962, and the cockney photographer David Bailey and unknown model Jean Shrimpton (played by Doctor Who’s side kick Karen Gillan) are sent to New York for a prestigious Vogue photo shoot. The 90 minute drama, We’ll Take Manhattan tells the story of a wild week, their love affair, terrible fights with their fashion editor – and how two young people with no such intention happened to change the world of fashion forever. -
