By merging light and sound sine waves, parameters such as frequency, amplitude and spatialization have been mapped into three sound wave generators or voices (bass line, harmonies and lead) and three waveforms from a modular video synthesizer on MaxMSP aiming to audiovisual synchronicity and equivalence. Jordan Dykstra “Within, Outside, and Beside Itself: The Architecture of the CFA” A performance which plays not only with the idea of lecture-performance as a musicological extension of history, narrative, and academic performance-composition Within, Outside, and Beside Itself: The Architecture of the CFA also addresses how the presenta- tion of knowledge is linked to the production of knowledge through performance. I believe that creating space for new connections through creative presentation and alternative methodologies can both foster new arenas for discussion and coordinate existing relationships between academia and the outside world. A critique regarding how the Center for the Arts at Wesleyan University func- tions as an academic institution, as well as its physical role as the third teacher, my lecture performance playfully harmonizes texts from art historians at Wesleyan University, archaeologists, critical theorists, YouTube transcriptions, quotes from the founder of the Reggio Emilia school, and medical journal articles about mirror neurons.

  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 4: REVIVAL Music of the thirties. By the late thirties, the kinds of songs that were woodshed had become a thing of the past. Harmonies had become even more sophisticated with the advent of the big band sound, in which avoidance of "obvious" chording prevailed. The major chord was replaced by the sixth, major seventh, or even more obscure substitutes; the dominant was replaced by minor seventh, diminished, or tritone substitute. We should note that the old style didn't vanish altogether. In certain haunts one could still hear the happy sound of the old ragtime style of earlier times, which characterized the "barbershop" era. One musician who thrived on this music into the forties was the great Thomas E. ("Fats") Waller, who composed, sang, and played stride piano in the old style. Although the songs he wrote himself show some of the "swing" influences of the thirties ("Honeysuckle Rose" (1929), "Ain't Misbehavin'" (1929)), many of the songs he popularized were of the style of the twenties, like "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie" (1936) and "(Oh Susanna) Dust Off That Old Piano" (1934). One of his best recordings was "Dinah," recorded in 1935. (In 1978 the musical revue "Ain't Misbehavin'" appeared on Broadway, featuring the music of Fats Waller.) Owen C. Cash. Owen Clifton Cash, born 1892, was a man who had been profoundly influenced by the musical customs of the early 1900's, the tradition of singing popular music with woodshedded harmony. He was the son of a Baptist minister, who moved the family westward by wagon from northern Missouri (where Cash was born) to the town of Keytesville in Cherokee Indian Territory, later to become part of Oklahoma.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.
