    1. But LHD 244 is unique in how it captures an art form evolving overa long period, and shows how it was transmitted from musician tomusician. This formal study of musical theory shows us how classicalmusic evolved out of liturgical chanting and towards the harmonicsophistication that Bach, Mozart and Beethoven would master
    2. It documents the English harmonic innovation known as the gymel,in which two or more voices singing a part in unison suddenly split intopolyphonic harmony, producing rich, textured chords before returning tothe melody in unison.

    1. Spotify was filling some of its popular and relaxing mood playlists—such as those for “jazz,” “chill,” and “peaceful piano” music—with cheap fake-artist offerings

      well, here comes the a.i. in handy. admittingly, i welcomed this perspective in the nineties along with piratebay, napster and so on. but i had to realize, that this still is social science fiction: we have the technic but not the economy for this: under the given, we are killing our idols. luckily, we just can not use spotify and buy their albums, no?

    1. Nascimento wrote the music for a stage play by José Vicente de Paula entitled Os convalescentes (“The Convalescent Ones”) in which ‘”San Vicente’ was originally conceived for that play’s portrayal of an unidentified Latin American country under dictatorship, as a stand-in for Brazil during years of heavy censorship.”

    2. “Coração americano” (“American heart”). Those two little words—repeated at various points in the song—reflect not only Brant’s desire to link the darkness that fell over Brazil with the darkness that eventually smothered life in other Latin American countries but also expresses confidence that the Pan-American spirit is real and will survive the cataclysm.

    1. Ways to discover music organically: - 1) Check out the producer of the song - 2) Check out artist features (who features on them and who they feature for. - 3) Check out playlists by favorite artist. - 4) Keep up with critics/publications of music - 5) Genre Reddit communities - 6) Rate Your Music -> IMDB for music - 7) AlbumOfTheYear - 8) Physical Record Stores - 9) Discover Music through Friends Warning: Not for Loners!!! - 10) Local Music Venues

    1. Best methods for mixing: - Same number, same letter - Same number, different letter This is the absolute best method for mixing compatibility for a tonal shift - Same letter, 1 difference in number (+1/-1)

      Other Methods (less reliable but still useful at times): - Semitone Shift (+7 number, same letter) - Full tone shift (+/- 2 number, same letter) - Compatible tone shift: -3 number, different letter - Diagonal switch (+/- 1 number, different letter


      All this is due to the overlap in notes within the respective scales. Most of this is also dependent on the tracks being played and their notes.

    1. A simple technique when it comes to harmonic mixing is by simply going from a major key to a minor, or a minor to a major key, whilst staying in the same relative key. For example, if a DJ is mixing in the key of 8B-C major, then he/she can transition to 8A-A minor or vice versa. Just keep the number the same (in this example it is 8) whilst changing the letter (B to A).

      Number same, letter different.

    1. The dancehall deejays of the 1980s and ’90s who refined the practice of “toasting” (rapping over instrumental tracks) were heirs to reggae’s politicization of music. These deejays influenced the emergence of hip-hop music in the United States and extended the market for reggae into the African American community. At the beginning of the 21st century, reggae remained one of the weapons of choice for the urban poor, whose “lyrical gun,” in the words of performer Shabba Ranks, earned them a measure of respectability.
    2. During this period of reggae’s development, a connection grew between the music and the Rastafarian movement, which encourages the relocation of the African diaspora to Africa, deifies the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie I (whose precoronation name was Ras [Prince] Tafari), and endorses the sacramental use of ganja (marijuana). Rastafari (Rastafarianism) advocates equal rights and justice and draws on the mystical consciousness of kumina, an earlier Jamaican religious tradition that ritualized communication with ancestors.

      Diaspora: the jews living outside Israel (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/diaspora)

      Interesting musical roots for Reggae... Wonder if this is still present?

      Mystical roots.

      (Note, I give this the fiction tag because I might want to look into this mystical religion for fiction writing as inspiration)

      Logical that marijuana (a drug) is correlated with the mystical concept of communicating with diseased spirits for marijuana makes you hallucinate (or perhaps it's demonic in nature?)

    3. Among those who pioneered the new reggae sound, with its faster beat driven by the bass, were Toots and the Maytals, who had their first major hit with “54-46 (That’s My Number)” (1968), and the Wailers—Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, and reggae’s biggest star, Bob Marley—who recorded hits at Dodd’s Studio One and later worked with producer Lee (“Scratch”) Perry. Another reggae superstar, Jimmy Cliff, gained international fame as the star of the movie The Harder They Come (1972).

      Main early pioneers: - Toots and the Maytals (band) - Wailers (band)

      Notable members of these bands: Toots and Maytals - Paul Douglas - Radcliffe "Dougie" Bryan - Jackie Jackson - Carl Harvey - Marie "Twiggi" Gitten - Stephen Stewart - Charles Farquarson - Frederick "Toots" Hibbert - Henry "Raleigh" Gordon - Nathaniel "Jerry" Matthias - Hux Brown - Harold Butler - Michelle Eugene - Winston Wright - Winston Grennan - Andy Bassford - Leba Hibbert - Thomas Copied from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toots_and_the_Maytals

      Wailers: * Aston Barrett Jr. * Owen "Dreadie" Reid * Josh David Barrett * Glen DaCosta * Andres Lopez * Junior Jazz * Aston "Familyman" Barrett * Donald Kinsey * Junior Marvin * Carlton Barrett * Alvin "Seeco" Patterson * Tyrone Downie * Earl "Wire" Lindo * Al Anderson * Gary "Nesta" Pine * Joe Yamanaka * Elan Atias * Anthony Watson * Chico Chin * Everald Gayle * Irvin "Carrot" Jarrett * Brady Walters * Basil Creary * Keith Sterling * Kevin "Yvad" Davy * Ras Mel Glover * "Drummie Zeb" Williams * Audley Chisholm * Koolant Brown * Dwayne Anglin * Ceegee Victory * Javaughn Bond * Shema McGregor Copied from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wailers_Band

    1. Levels of understanding genres: - 0) No understanding Like the song, never heard anything like it before, but no idea about anything. - 1) Basic Understanding Knowing a bit about the name of the genre and subgenres, but you can be wrong. - 2) Immersion Really dive into subgenres and flavors of the main genre... Also a bit of history about the genre. Research. - 3) Structure Breaking down the structure of the tracks in the genre. For example through DAW. Basically first-principles thinking.

      To level 1: Song Analyzer tools (for example musicstax or AI). The author recommends everynoise.com too to gain a basic understanding of genres.

      To level 2: Find similar songs and artists for your playlists with that genre. Perhaps playlists. Important to understand the origin of the genre.

    1. Chris M. recommends to use a layered system for music categorization:

      • Layer 1) Genres / Subgenres
      • Layer 2) Energy
      • Layer 3) Vibe

      Genre itself is the main overall (and broad) genre. Subgenres are tag-like and related to when you want to play it more granularly.

      Energy is a measurement of the average energy of the song.

      Vibes refer to the emotions and memories it brings up to you and potentially others you play it for. Some questions he asks: - 1) How does it make me feel? - 2) What does it remind me of? - 3) Where would I play it? - 4) When would I play it? - 5) Why would I play it? - 6) Who would I play it for?

    2. When looking for songs in the library, it's very important to answer a few questions to filter. Not just to save storage space, but also to ensure the quality of one's library.

      Chris M. recommends a SHORT LIST... Music you come across that you like and think about downloading, you put in there. Then wait for 24h before listening again to it. Finally, ask 3 questions before deciding to add it: - 1) Do I still like it? - 2) Would I play it out? - 3) Would I pay money for it?

    1. Transitions he mentions: - A) Instant RAGE Slower Song -> Instant Drop Instant Drop = a song that immediately pulls up the speed. - B) Slow Down, Speed Up Hype song with a gradual slow down, leading into an immediate speed up. Kick or beat drop from track 2. - C) Vibez to Vibez Track 1 to Track 2 while remaining energy (energy the same) but switching the genres. - D) Get up and Dance Weird ending that you CAN'T dance to leading into something that you HAVE to dance to. - E) The SLOW DOWN Song pace doesn't matter. Slow Ending to a Slow Beginning. - F) The Lit Switch Lead one LIT song seamlessly into another LIT song, regardless of genre. It maintains hype level. - G) Is that the same X Have a similar sounding X playing at the end of track 1 and at the beginning of track 2... X can be anything, for example an instrument/guitar. - H) Weird BUT Effective Track 2 starts with a sound effect and you use that to transition seamlessly with track 1. - I) The Dip/The Rip Track A with decent pace to Track B (slowest song of the 3) to Track C which starts slow but picks up the pace again Can be reversed into the hip... Then the middle song is the fastest song.

    1. When Jimmy Buffett has an idea for a song — sometimes just a phrase — he writes it down on any available scrap of paper and stuffs it into an old sea chest. When he’s ready to write some new music, he sits down and pulls out all those scribbles, which I imagine must be torn off bar napkins and beer coasters, and sorts through them, one by one. He says many of his most popular songs marinated in his sea chest before emerging as lyrics.

      Source for this?

      Sounds very similar to Eminem's "stacking ammo".

    1. It is said these two songs spring from the same tune - but with different lyrics applied in the American west... Separated by hundreds of years and the Atlantic Ocean, I alternate the verses of the two songs here, showing the similarity..

      There's a close similarity between the Streets of Laredo and the sean-nós ballad Bard of Armagh.
