  • Saosin by Neelofer Lodhy, Editor
    2006-2007 http://www.elsegundousd.com/eshs/bayeagle0607/October11thP23Saosi... Saosin by Neelofer Lodhy, Editor Finally! After such a long wait of anticipation and excitement, Saosin is finally back with their new self-titled album! After the release of an EP (2003), Saosin finally decided to release their first album. The band's genre is listed as post-hardcore and emo. Originally from Newport Beach, the band formed back in 2003, and is signed with record label Capitol Records. The band's original vocalist Anthony Green left Saosin and later joined a well-known band today called Circa Survive after the release of their first EP. Saosin definitely did a great job finding a new vocalist Cove Reber, because Cove and Anthony sound extremely similar, especially if you are hearing both bands for the first time. After a change of three band members, Saosin now consists of Cove Reber on lead vocals, Beau Berchell as guitarist and vocals, Justin Shekoski on guitar and vocals as well, Chris Sorenson on bass and vocals, and Alex Rodriguez on drums. Saosin's initial discography consisted of EP's such as Translating the Name (2003), Translating the Name Acoustic (2003), their self-titled Saosin EP, and finally their first real album also self-titled Saosin (2006). Saosin's current singles include songs off the EP such as the very well known Bury Your Head (included on the new album), Seven Years, I Want to Hear Another Fast Song, also titled Sleepers (also included on the new album), and the newest addition off the fresh album, Voices.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • DIZZY WRIGHT BIOGRAPHY DIZZY WRIGHT First Started His Career Out
    DIZZY WRIGHT BIOGRAPHY DIZZY WRIGHT first started his career out as a youth reporter when he was really young and barely nine years-old reporting for "Just for Kids News" and interviewing major celebrities and professional athletes. Having a strong passion for music, he quickly decided that he wanted to be a Rapper and gave up being a youth reporter to be in a group with his younger brother KJ. Singer turned actor Tyrese named the group called DaFuture at an awards show. The group recorded many songs that were never released while negotiating with several record labels. Some of those songs included features by Layzie Bone of the multi-platinum selling group Bone thugs-n- harmony, Cassidy, K-Young, Miracle as well as Michael Jackson of the R & B Group Portrait, and many others. In 2009, Dizzy graduated from Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada. By graduating and not dropping out to pursue music, he not only set an example for his younger siblings but for other younger people who look up to him. While he had planned to attend a community college in Las Vegas and major in Psychology, that same year Dizzy's career as a solo artist took off and began to take him to great heights. Formerly known as Dizzy D Flashy, The Jump Off Magazine named him the "Hottest Rapper in Las Vegas." During this time, he was promoting parties at the local teen club as a way to earn income and generate exposure for himself. He continued to receive even more exposure with his first performance at BET's 106 & Park on Wild Out Wednesday and won the competition! Up next came the New York Blaze the Stage with an invitation to perform.

    Federated Ontology Search Vasco Calais Pedro CMU-LTI-09-010 Language Technologies Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University 5000 Forbes Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 www.lti.cs.cmu.edu Thesis Committee: Jaime Carbonell, Chair Eric Nyberg Robert Frederking Eduard Hovy, Information Sciences Institute Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy In Language and Information Technologies Copyright © 2009 Vasco Calais Pedro For my grandmother, Avó Helena, I am sorry I wasn’t there Abstract An Ontology can be defined as a formal representation of a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. The development of the semantic web initiative is rapidly increasing the number of publicly available ontologies. In such a distributed environment, complex applications often need to handle multiple ontologies in order to provide adequate domain coverage. Surprisingly, there is a lack of adequate frameworks for enabling the use of multiple ontologies transparently while abstracting the particular ontological structures used by that framework. Given that any ontology represents the views of its author or authors, using multiple ontologies requires us to deal with several significant challenges, some stemming from the nature of knowledge itself, such as cases of polysemy or homography, and some stemming from the structures that we choose to represent such knowledge with. The focus of this thesis is to explore a set of techniques that will allow us to overcome some of the challenges found when using multiple ontologies, thus making progress in the creation of a functional information access platform for structured sources.
