MUSICRADAR.COM (12/6) Epic-Guitar-Performances-568156 MUSICRADAR.COM (12/6) http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/rival-sons-scott-holiday-talks-jimmy-page-riff-writing-and- epic-guitar-performances-568156 Rival Sons' Scott Holiday talks Jimmy Page, riff writing and epic guitar performances If Head Down were Rival Sons' debut album and not their third release, we'd be heralding the unexpected arrival of a bright new talent, and possibly even an important one, a group that manages to take their cues from firmly established blues-rock paradigms while proving there's still rich, untapped pockets to be mined. Oh, hell, let's dispense with the formalities and give it up for this California four-piece (singer Jay Buchanan, guitarist Scott Holiday, bassist Robin Everhart and drummer Mike Miley), who attack well- worn forms – there's also splashes of soul, funk and head-spinning psychedelia, for good measure – with a zeal that borders on audacity. The grooves are deep and the vocals are of the chest-beating variety, but the real star of the show is guitarist Holiday. On the album's 13 exhilarating cuts, he hits with with tectonic force, creating rich tapestries of sound that burst wide open with style, imagination and an infectious, warped charm. We caught up with Holiday the other day to chat about his spunky approach to guitar playing, his many axes and sonic toys, and to find out how he felt rubbing shoulders with a new fan, another six- string slinger who goes by the name Jimmy Page. So Jimmy Page likes your band. That's got to feel good. "It's bizarre-o, isn't it? [Laughs] I don't think I have to hide my admiration for that band and how much Jimmy Page has influenced my guitar playing. He came to our show in Camden, which was slightly nerve-racking for a minute. I was remembering my nine-year-old self, listening to his records and thinking, Man, I wanna meet that guy! It was a crazy experience backstage – we had a few other celebrity-type people around – and then there he was. "I made sure I set aside some vinyls for him, because I know he's a big collector. I got to meet him, gave him the vinyl, and we hung out and had chat. It was fantastic. We talked a little guitar, but we mainly talked about clothes. I was wearing a new suit that I had just received from a designer in London, and Jimmy complimented me on it. He knows a thing or two about fashion [laughs]." On the Zeppelin tip, how does a young band such as yourselves use their influence while still trying to sound fresh and original? "I'll tell you about that. Growing up, Zeppelin was such a signpost for me. Some kids have Beatles families, some kids have Stones families, but my family was totally into Led Zeppelin. The whole Zeppelin spirit was really ingrained into my soul. "When this band came together, I knew our individual makeups were very much in line with Zeppelin, with our members mirroring theirs – a very Motown/soul-based bass player, a really bombastic drummer, an extremely blues-based guitar player and a blue-eyed soul/folk-based singer. Interestingly, the band never really listened to Zeppelin together. It's more kind of bred into us. We don't take too much directly from them at all." You write some very strong riffs. What's your philosophy on coming up with the ultimate guitar patterns? "I don't overcomplicate things. I don't write too many riffs when I'm sitting at home. To me, playing a riff is like giving a speech – the worst thing you can do is over-rehearse. You want to come off very natural, like it's spontaneous. So when we're in a studio, I just want to spit it out, you know? "Keith Richards said something cool about this whole thing. He was asked if he records all of his music – how does he remember it all? And he just said, 'The stuff that's really good is the only stuff I'm going to remember anyway.' That makes a lot of sense. If I play something really cool, I'll keep that in the back, and I'll bring it out when we're in the studio. And that's the only place where we write: in the studio, where we're ready, recording, and we're in that moment." Do you ever write riffs on an acoustic, and if so, do you notice a difference in the way they come out? "Sure. I think it's less riffy if I'm writing on an acoustic. It'll usually be something in an open tuning and more blues based – for a riff, acoustically. I view the instruments pretty differently. I usually play an acoustic with just my hands – no pick. And I do a lot of slide stuff on acoustic too." I'm curious about what you said before, that you only like to write in the studio. "That's true. It's just more inspiring to be in the moment rather than play something that we might have done at soundcheck or whatever. It's literally like 'Here's what I got' – and I start playing. Keep On Swinging came together like that. I started playing it, the guys got inspired, and we pieced it together really quickly." Holiday on stage with his blue Gibson Firebird VII Reverse. © Marie GC The riff of that song plays off the drums in a Black Dog-like way. It reminds me of guitarist and drummer falling down the stairs and landing together on their feet. "Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, obviously Pagey wasn't the first guy to do that. He took a lot from the old blues guys. It's that pentatonic thing. Some musicians, particularly jazzers, go, 'The minor pentatonic – it's so common, so tired!' But it's a very easy scale to hear; it's an easy progression to listen to. Falling on your feet, yeah. It's an easy progression for us to play." When you come up with a riff like that, is it pretty obvious that it should be the backbone of the song? "Absolutely. The riff came first for that song, and everything was built around it. And besides that song, when a riff is strong enough, we'll base things around it. You encircle it." [laughs] Manifest Destiny, which is in two parts, is a real guitar epic. How did that come about? "Thanks. The main riff came about between takes, much like a lot of things. I was just bumming about, and the producer heard me do this thing [imitates a guitar] – 'wah-ah-ah-ah-ah' – and he got on the talkback mic and said, 'That's amazing. I have it recorded, we're rolling, we're going to work on that right now.' "I think I was taking a little bit from Spooky Tooth. When I had the form, I told the guys that I wanted to do a middle section that was more of a musical conversation and less of a solo. I didn't want to write bars, I didn't want to write sections – I just wanted us to talk. I said, 'I'll improvise, and I want you to just follow me.' I consider it an anti-guitar solo. It's not about how fast I'm playing or how cool the licks are. It's more about lyricism… painting a picture." "Yeah! Well, who can deny Mick Taylor? Yeah, that's the same idea – a band without boundaries just enjoying the conversation. That's been ingrained in my musical personality, along with Dazed And Confused and a lot of Hendrix stuff – Band Of Gypsies." Your amp is getting quite a workout in that song. It sounds like it's breaking up! [Laughs] "That amp is actually a 1930s Supro with a six-inch speaker in it. It's like the size of a Pignose amp, which I also used a lot on the record. That's a first take you're hearing. We did a first take, played it all through and put it on the record." Part Two of Manifest Destiny is no less gonzo. Were they separate songs you decided to link together? "That's right. Part Two is actually the first song we recorded. We didn't have them linked together musically until Jay had lyrics. He decided to write a story with a part one and part two." And you're going ape on the guitar, even more so than on the first half. [Laughs] "Thanks! I hope there's not too many wheelies and freak-outs. But yeah, that's what it is." "The band never really listened to Zeppelin together," Holiday says. "It's more kind of bred into us." What kind of guitars did you use on the record? "On every record, I use a specific group of guitars, kind of like arrows in a quiver [laughs]. I used my live guitars: my blue Firebird VII Reverse, my '65 Non-Reverse, and my '62 Jazzmaster. Those all saw a lot of time. Plus there was my '54 Les Paul goldtop conversion. I used a really beautiful 1960 335 with the Bigsby – a really, really amazing guitar. Oh, and a Gretsch White Penguin. "Let's see, what else… A lot of the rattier, garage-y stuff was done on a 1964 Harmony Rocket, which was most notably used by Dave Davies on a lot of the early Kinks stuff.

Arranging can broadly be defined as the process of transforming a collection of musical ideas into a complete track. It can involve everything from writing harmonies, re-arranging parts, adding parts, removing parts, planning the structure of a song or even adding effects from time to time. If there's one absolute truth about arranging, though, it's that it's the stage where you have to stop making excuses and start making firm decisions, whether these be about which parts to leave in or out, where to put them, or whether you need to add a whole new part altogether. Consequently, for many, arranging is also where music making stops being fun and creative and starts feeling a bit too much like pressure and hard work. This needn't be the case, though - with all the power and versatility that modern technology gives us, the possibilities are endless and the process can be relatively painless. Here are our 22 top arranging tips: 1. Listen, listen, listen. There's absolutely no substitute for experience, so be sure to analyse the arrangements of all your favourite tracks. Listen to what other producers have done and try to figure out why it works (or why it doesn't work, as the case may be...).

  • Rival Sons Annonserer Sjette Studioalbum
    Rival Sons - FERAL ROOTS artwork 02-11-2018 13:30 CET Rival Sons annonserer sjette studioalbum Rival Sons annonserte i dag utgivelsen av bandets etterlengtede sjette studioalbum. FERAL ROOTS slippes overalt 25. januar via den GRAMMY® Award-vinnende produsenten Dave Cobb's label Low Country Sound under Atlantic Records. Det kommende albumet, annonsert via Consequence of Sound, introduseres med en helt ny låt "Back In The Woods". FERAL ROOTS er Rival Sons' debut på Low Country Sound/Atlantic Records og er nok en gang produsert av bandets langvarige samarbeidspartner Dave Cobb i Nashville's berømte RCA Studio A og det like så legendariske Muscle Shoals Sound Studio i Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Coveret på FERAL ROOTS er malt av den berømte samtidskunstneren Martin Wittfooth. Alle forhåndsordrer blir slått sammen med øyeblikkelig gratis nedlastinger av det tidligere utgitte albumsporet "Do Your Worst," og "Back In The Woods". "Do Your Worst" debuterte forrige måned via Rolling Stone, som hyllet singelen: "a relentless rocker with a gritty verse spearheaded by a sinister lead guitar riff and thumping drums. The track takes a deft turn when it hits the chorus, forgoing out-and-out guitar bombast for rousing gang vocals with singer Jay Buchanan leading the charge.” Rival Sons er kjent som et kraftverk av et liveband og de feirer utgivelsen av FERAL ROOTS med en omfattende verdensturné som tar dem til Europa tidlig i 2019. Konserten på Sentrum Scene i Oslo 3.mars 2019 vil bli bandets trettiende (30!) konsert på norsk jord – og dette på mindre enn åtte år! FERAL ROOTSslippes 25. januar, og i dag kan du høre andre smakebit i form av låta "Back In The Woods" her.

  • Future Plc Today Announces the Launch of Fourfourtwo Turkey
    Future Plc today announces the launch of FourFourTwo Turkey FourFourTwo Turkey entered the market in 2006, and will continue its path with a new partner – Lobby Lobos Advertising 17th February 2020​ – ​Future Plc​, ​ ​The world's largest English-speaking football magazine, FourFourTwo, has expanded with the exciting arrival of its new partner in Turkey: Lobby Lobos. After initially entering the Turkish market in 2006, FourFourTwo has been followed with admiration ever since, becoming a leader of the football print media sector in Turkey. Future Plc has a reputation for thinking ahead of its competitors and adapting in the digital world – and as such, they have paved the way for a revamped FourFourTwo Turkey to develop the FourFourTwo brand in a football-obsessed nation of 83 million people. Together, Future and Lobby Lobos Advertising will integrate e-commerce solutions and establish dialogue between teams. Editor-in-chief, Can Elmas said: “FourFourTwo Turkey has always been the magazine everybody considered to be a guiding light. But in the same way that other football titles went through, it faced significant problems during the digitisation process. We have since agreed to a new economic model that will be an example for all in the new era of FourFourTwo Turkey and Future Plc. In a world that is becoming more and more digital, we will lead our competitors again.” FourFourTwo Turkey aims to become the first audio-magazine in Turkey, too, working to establish a new relationship with football fans. The editorial department has created the ‘FourFourTwo Reserve Team’, which aims to bring new sports journalists and writers aged 18-24 into the industry and showcase their work to a wider audience.

    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Compositional Possibilities of New Interactive and Immersive Digital Formats A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Composition By Daniel R. Dehaan EVANSTON, IL (June 2019) 2 Abstract From 2008 to 2019, a range of new interactive and immersive digital formats that present new possibilities for musical and artistic expression have become available. In order to begin the work of uncovering what new compositional and experiential possibilities are now possible, this document will examine each format’s core concepts and tools, cataloging the current state of related technologies. It also provides a survey of each format’s representative works, including a discussion of my original and evolving work for virtual reality, Infinite Void. The ultimate goal of this dissertation is to serve as a point of departure for composers interested in working with and influencing the direction that musical and creative expression will take in these immersive and interactive digital environments. 3 Acknowledgments This document would not have been possible without countless individuals to whom I owe more than just the acknowledgements of this page. To my committee members, Chris Mercer, Hans Thomalla, and Stephan Moore, who made themselves available from all corners of the globe and encouraged me to keep going even when it seemed like no end was in sight. To Donna Su, who kept me on track and moving forward throughout my entire time at Northwestern. To my readers, Nick Heinzmann and Caleb Cuzner, without whom I don’t think I would have ever been able to finish.
