    Within this week’s reading, finishing up with the music stardom unit, we read about the band “New Kids on the Block,” through David Marshalls input on the meaning of the Popular Music Celebrity. He explains how song writers developed the singers through sheet music and lyrics, connecting the performer to the audience. To continue, he explains how the growth of technology thus allowed the mass productions of songs, with portable music devices and radios, everyone was able to listen to their favorite music in their favorite environments. Marshall says, “Moreover, the activity of listening permitted the investment of personal experiences into the meaning of the music to a great degree than did concert performances” (198). Essentially, the portable…

    While HipHopKhasene is a ‘mock wedding’ style music album, Abigail Wood shows how the album differs greatly from a traditional klezmer wedding album. Most klezmer wedding albums “have created programmes where the repertory and performance practice recreate as faithfully as possible a wedding that might have existed in a certain time and place in Eastern Europe” (Wood, 11). These albums, whether intentionally or not, form a stark contrast to modern day Jewish music. HipHopKhasene on the other hand, does not try to reenact a wedding that may have taken place hundreds of years ago, but tries to bring those traditions into the modern day. Instead of having tradition klezmer wedding music and modern day music running parallel, yet completely apart, to each other, HipHopKhasene fuses the two together. Abigail Wood shows how Solomon and Dolgin take tradition klezmer musical instruments such as a violin and combine them with electronic beats to create a new sound. By doing so, “the listener is introduced not to a disembodied CD which somehow appeared on the shelves of the record shop but to the world that this project is coming from: not only a past culture, but a contemporary, everyday world where people hang out and music is made” (Wood, 7).…

    Producing Country Analysis

    Jarrett’s focus is a chronological oral history accounting of the art and act of record production. First, though, Jarrett offers many of the field’s most accomplished practitioners attempts to define the role of record producer, though the author remains silent and does not synthesize these voices into any kind of coherent single definition. This lack of a singular definition maybe the author’s intent after all. Jarrett then begins with many pre-war historical sessions highlighted by Ralph Peer’s Bristol sessions and Don Law’s Robert Johnson and Bob Wills recordings when the A&R man served as the recordings “producer.” While Jarrett does not access primary oral accountings, he finds very capable narrators in Don Law Jr, Chet Atkins, and Bob Irwin. Jarrett next ventures into the post war country honky tonk era when the records were still cut live. While mainstay country recordings by Kitty Wells, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, and Merle Travis are explored, Jarrett effectively argues for the inclusion of country-influenced recordings by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and Ray Charles. This effective methodology carries forward into the next two sections dealing with the multi-track and modern country music industry. Producing Country is an excellent walk through the history of not only country music recording but the craft of record production that can be read either from front to back or used as a reference book. However, it could have been even more effective with the inclusion of some discographical information, such as exact recording dates and studio names, as Jarrett points the reader to a reissue rather than the original recordings. Since these are one to two page narratives, a detailed bibliography of more thorough accountings of the producer and…

    Dj Shadow Song Analysis

    • 898 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The two songs I am analyzing are by the same artist. The artist is DJ Shadow and the songs are entitled “Building Steam with a Grain of Salt” and “Midnight in a Perfect World.” These songs are from his first album “Endtroducing…,” which was written in 1996. Shadow’s music has been classified into a few different types of genres; trip-hop being the most prominent. What makes his first album so different is that it is composed entirely of samples. Shadow spent years and years “digging” and listening to thousands of old records to piece together his first album. He listened to each record with and open-mind; waiting for something to spark creativity. In 2001 “Endtroducing…” was published in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the “First Completely Sampled Album.” The only pieces of equipment that were used to produce this album included a 12-bit sampling drum machine and a pair of turntables. I have seen Shadow perform live a handful of times. His shows take place anywhere from small night clubs, to stadium style concerts.…
