... loudspeakers. The first practical phonograph was built by the American inventor Thomas Edison in 1877. Edison recorded sound on a cylinder, which was then rotated against a needle. The needle moved up and down in the grooves of the cylinder, producing vibrations that were amplified by a conical horn. Because of the vertical movement of the needle, this recording method was called the "hill-and-dale" process. Edison had intended the phonograph to be used primarily as a dictating machine in offices. However, with the invention of the flat-disk phonograph, or gramophone, by the German-born American inventor Emile Berliner in 1887, the phonograph began to develop as an artistic medium for reco ...
... in 1995 were rental fees for condos and homes. Charged with more than $120,000 in rental cost for a Malibu home that was actually occupied by Kenner. Complaints by Afeni, Tupacs mother, were that Kenner failed to protect the interests of Tupac. Kenner collaborated with Suge Knight to drain cash from Tupac’s royalty accounts (Gill). More than $100,000 to furnish an apartment owned by Death Row. In 1996 rent totaling $57,600 was charged to Tupac for a Wilshire Blvd. apartment that was used by other Death Row performers (Saltonstall). This shows you how Death Row Records can milk millions from any star. Afeni’s lawsuit also alleges that Tupac was charged $2,700 for another Death Ro ...
... numbers seemed small compared to the 400,000 to 500,000 people who converged on the area on August 15, 16, and 17 of 1969. Many expected singers and bands could not arrive due to traffic backed up for miles along all the roads leading to the area. It was said that nearly one million people could have attended the concert if it had lasted longer. Many recognized musicians preformed at the concert such as Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, and many others. Truly by the first day, as the musicians looked out upon the vast crowd, they must have known that Woodstock was not going to be just another concert that would be forgotten. On the ou ...

... force behind the Prodigy sound, although there are three other members who contribute to the live performance - Maxim Reality, Leeroy Thornhill and Keith Flint Liam was once the DJ for the London rap act Cut To Kill, but he became disillusioned with the rap scence's aggressive attitude after experiencing the 'Love, Peace and Happiness' that dominated the rave scene. Liam is also a classically trained pianist, whose ambition once was 'to get a record deal and put out a few tunes'. That goal was achieved very quickly, so Liam is now concentrating on maintaining his status as the most successful hardcore underground act, blending his unique sound of hip-hop beats and manic house music, and, ...
... of the year in Spin magazine and NIN has been the number two band of the year. In 1994, Nine Inch Nails was announced MTV's band of the year. This was a great honor because MTV spends most of it's time with rap and hip-hop. When NIN's first album came out in 1989, it was mostly rock and roll with a techno twist, containing songs full of depressing, suicidal lyrics. Then as the next two albums arose, Trent became more evil with his music, using machines and pretty much anything he could find that would make his music sound angered and irritated. This hard, twisted music, backed up by words of pure hatred started the industrial ball rolling. One band that has tried to lighten up in ...
... understand music that I was not already familiar with. The first couple of weeks in the class, we learned the basic elements of not just “classical” music, but all music in general. The next couple of weeks later we listened to music so could utilize the terms we learned. Works like harmony, melody, key, pitch, and chords became more outstanding to me. Next, we started studying the various time periods of Western Europe music. I learned that music started way back 450 A.D. which is also known as the Medieval period. As time passed, music evolved. Then came the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. When I think about it, all five of these periods made just the one ...
... recognized as Gregorian chant, wrote after the great Pope Gregory. It signified the religious aspect of the early to middle ages. Chants were performed as a ritual of praying and were very popular in these times. An organum was the earliest sacred music performed in churches and many other religious stages. It could be sung in polyphonic, monophonic, or homophonic. Homophonic consists of a singer and accompaniment. Polyphonic has many contributing factors, singers, instruments, and back up singers. Pallastrena composed many sacred masses of the Renaissance. A mass is a religious gathering of performer that sings praise to the heavens. Acupela is one performer without any accompany ...
... a music similar to jazz played by blacks. This kind of music started to attract white teenagers. Disc jockey Alan Freed was the one who introduced this music and later gave it the name of Rock n' Roll. Record companies distributed records played by whites but composed by blacks. Whites were frustrated because there weren't any white artists and they didn't want the blacks to be the stars until Bill Haley appeared with his "Rock Around the Clock". In this decade, Elvis Presley introduced a music that was sexual suggestive and outraged dull adults. In time he changed the style of the music by adopting a country and western style and became a national hero. By the end of this decade and the s ...
... here and there, about this "circus" behavior had maybe a little to do with the bands past experiences. It took them forever to make there song a hit, but now that it's there, all they think is about the past, and how terrible it was. Personally, I think that to blame the future on the past is some- what ridicules. The past is over with, you should respect what you have now, appreciate it. Take pride and dignity not, disrespect and harm. To throw a typewriter ( 2) is just so extrodenary stupid, I don't think I can even relate to the person who did this. The way that is said "child's play", has absolutely everything to do with this. I don't even think my 8 year old brother is cap ...
