  • The Blues Foundation Archives: Immersion and Preservation
    The Blues Foundation Archives: Immersion and Preservation Stephanie Swindle Blues music, while still experienced through live performance, should also be documented and preserved in order to honor and promote one of the world's most essential genres of music. The influence of the blues tradition upon rock and roll artists of the nineteen fifties and sixties as well as upon the contemporary R&B and hip-hop musicians is evident in their similar subject matter, rhythmic underpinnings, and featured instrument - the guitar. Therefore, educating the public and providing scholars and fans with the resources to further appreciate and understand the blues is a significant task. The Blues Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted specifically to the preservation perpetuation of the blues. In its possession is twenty-five years worth of archival material that is in desperate need of preservation. The goal for this project is to work in conjunction with the staff and Executive Director of The Blues Foundation in order to write a grant proposal for a National Endowment for the Humanities preservation grant award. Organizing its archives, which is divided into photographs, autographed guitars, audio, video, concert, compact discs and cassettes, and miscellaneous, is the first step in a long process of preservation. In order to organize its media, The Blues Foundation will be served by submitting a grant proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities to receive funding necessary to undertake such an elaborate project. Due to The Blues Foundation's vast amount of archival wealth, the Foundation and this project, in particular, merit NEH funding consideration.

  • Music Guide Music HISTORY There Was a Time When “Elevator Music” Was All You Heard in a Store, Hotel, Or Other Business
    Music Guide Music HisTORY There was a time when “elevator music” was all you heard in a store, hotel, or other business. Yawn. 1 1971: a group of music fanatics based out of seattle - known as Aei Music - pioneered the use of music in its original form, and from the original artists, inside of businesses. A new era was born where people could enjoy hearing the artists and songs they know and love in the places they shopped, ate, stayed, played, and worked. 1 1985: DMX Music began designing digital music channels to fit any music lover’s mood and delivered this via satellite to businesses and through cable TV systems. 1 2001: Aei and DMX Music merge to form what becomes DMX, inc. This new company is unrivaled in its music knowledge and design, licensing abilities, and service and delivery capability. 1 2005: DMX moves its home to Austin, TX, the “Live Music capital of the World.” 1 Today, our u.s. and international services reach over 100,000 businesses, 23 million+ residences, and over 200 million people every day. 1 DMX strives to inspire, motivate, intrigue, entertain and create an unforgettable experience for every person that interacts with you. Our mission is to provide you with Music rockstar service that leaves you 100% ecstatic. Music Design & Strategy To get the music right, DMX takes into account many variables including customer demographics, their general likes and dislikes, your business values, current pop culture and media trends, your overall décor and design, and more.
