Episode 06 Summary   0:00 - Intro If this is your first time listening, feel free to start with this episode if you’d like, but we’d recommend checking out some of our earlier episodes first Melody Harmony Rhythm & Meter Timbre Dvorak’s 9th Symphony (Exploring all of the above) Texture may be a slightly difficult episode to start on because it’s a little more abstract 1:35- Defining Texture Texture tells you how many melodic lines are present and whether there are accompaniment lines supporting the melodic line(s) It’s like a job board that tells you how many melodic roles and accompaniment roles are available for a given piece of music Garrett makes a comparison to a variety of fabric textures music works the same way To make it even simpler, try using these words: Thick or thin Busy or sparse An even simpler definition: How much is going on in the music Texture doesn’t tell you how many players there are… just how many melodic lines there are and whether they are accompanied 4:18 Texture Classifications Three common ones and one uncommon one Common: Monophonic Homophonic Polyphonic Uncommon: Heterophonic Don’t be scared of these words! Knowing that’s what you don’t like can help you either avoid music that won’t appeal to you or help you develop an appreciation for it You probably have favorite textures! You probably have least favorite textures… 6:03 - Monophonic Texture (Monophony) Literal translation: “one sound” A single melodic line with no accompaniment If you’re unsure what a melody is, head to Episode 01! Monophonic doesn’t necessarily mean solo Texture doesn’t tell you about the performance forces (number of performers, what they’re performing on) Can be achieved by a soloist or by a children’s choir singing in unison Monophonic examples: Singing in the shower without any accompaniment (no phone/bluetooth speaker/waterproof ukulele) Coworkers singing "Happy Birthday" in unison Played example: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" (Monophonic) 8:57 - Homophonic Texture (Homophony) Not “Homophobic!” Literal translation: “same sound” Most popular texture used in most music One melodic line supported by any number of accompaniment lines Accompaniment lines don’t pull for your attention nearly as strong as the main melody does If there were two competing lines, that would be a different texture Often you’ll hear a simple melody with basic chords underneath Played example: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" (Homophonic) A lot of choir music is homophonic One voice type will have the melody (often sopranos) and everyone else’s lines will be slightly less interesting Played example: “My Country ’Tis of Thee” (Soprano line) Played example: “My Country ’Tis of Thee” (Alto line) The alto line has less movement and interest (melodically) but it supports the soprano part A lot of choir music is also homorhythmic When the lines use different notes but the same rhythms They’re on the same words at the same time, and they change to new words together Played example: “My Country ’Tis of Thee” (Soprano and alto line together) Remember: Homophony can be achieved by a soloist, not just a group A guitarist playing a melody and chords beneath it (or singing a melody and playing chords underneath it) This is the most popular texture in both popular styles and classical music Doesn’t pull your as much as polyphony More substance than monophony You can see all of your notes neatly organized in front of you on the score Multiple melodic lines get a little hairier on paper In Garrett’s opinion, it’s easier to listen to It’s easier to write 13:47 Polyphony Literal translation: “Many sounds” Multiple melodies happening at once If you’ve ever heard of a “countermelody…” counter means “against,” so it’s a melody against another melody Both melodies compete for your attention You have to pick your moment with this texture because it can be overwhelming! Played example: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” (Polyphonic) Polyphony is often saved for the end of pieces after homophony or monophony to build tension or to give a big ending where everything comes together Musical theater loves to use polyphony! It doesn’t annoy in that moment you because you’ve heard the tunes (and often the lyrics) before If you try to listen to all the singers at once, it can overwhelm you They often won’t say anything that hasn’t been said already "One Day More" from Les Miserables "Christmas Bells" from RENT These each close Act I respectively They’ll play many different melodies throughout the musical In key moments, they’ll combine them Two examples: There are a set of rules for how to write polyphony well: Polyphony is the type of writing Counterpoint refers to the rules of how to write it well This is called counterpoint Music majors learn these rules in rules Adjective form: contrapuntal For our purposes, you can think of them as the same thing 17:28 Heterophonic Texture (Heterophony) Literal translation: “Different Sound” (not that helpful, really) Popular in lots of Asian, Middle Eastern, and even Gaelic music When a melody is doubled but ornamented and changed up very slightly by one of the players Garrett brings up an example from “The Jerk” (a great movie!) Rare in both popular styles and classical styles Link: https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/heterophony/ Debussy and Stravinsky took a whack at it Sweetwater article recommends the “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” by The Chieftains Amanda calls upon musical theater to start using this texture more often 20:02 Considerations to make about texture Texture shifts multiple times in a single piece of music Even in a 3 minute pop tune! If you keep the same texture for too long, you get bored It takes a lot of practice to get good at identifying different textures Garrett points out that a lot of bass lines in pop music are very melodic, so that’s an example of a common musician texture argument See: "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson Music students often struggle to learn these classifications Musicians sometimes argue about these classifications Don’t expect to master this in one day… but listening for texture differences can help you appreciate different pieces (especially longer ones) Types of music can have characteristic textures Earliest type of jazz Not all styles of jazz sound like Dixieland, but it’s a very important style of jazz Lullabys won’t include really busy accompaniment parts or multiple melodies because that won’t soothe babies Rhythm guitar parts in rock music are another example of a characteristic texture Dixieland jazz is characteristically polyphonic The inclusion of non-tonal percussion is not figured into texture “Sing, Sing, Sing” by Benny Goodman features a very important drum texture, but there’s no classification for it One sustained low note under a melody that either never changes or changes very rarely Music featuring a drone can still be considered monophonic Garrett’s example is Amazing Grace on bagpipes (which you can simulate using a microwave… thanks, Joseph!) Amanda calls this percussive erasure Definite pitch instruments such as xylophone or vibraphone DO count towards texture Another device that gets left out is a drone If at the end of the episode, you don’t feel confident about the classification names, that’s okay! “Thick or thin,” “Lots going on,” or “Not much accompaniment” are all fine ways to describe texture This is something to add to your toolkit when you want to describe music You can also impress music majors at parties by using these words Listeners don’t necessarily need to understand texture really deeply… just enough to appreciate composers and musicians Like of a musician “rises out of the texture” Or if someone “can’t bend” (doesn’t fit the texture) For everything texture tells you, there’s a lot of stuff it doesn’t tell you Percussion How many performers What instruments How they’re playing their instruments Dynamics (volume) Timbre (tone color) Much more! Amanda compares this to gravity because everyone has sort of a practical knowledge of it, but not all of us can explain how it works in depth Does not include: Hopefully you see why performers, composers, and conductors need to know all about it 32:02 - Recap Texture tells us how many melodic lines there are in music and whether or not they are accompanied Three common classifications: Monophonic, homophonic, polyphonic One uncommon texture: heterophonic Textures usually shift in pieces of music multiple times   32:34 - Listening Recommendations: (32:48) Garrett’s 1st Monophonic Example: “Die Easy” by Rag’n’Bone Man (2017) (33:47) Amanda’s 1st Monophonic Example: “I See Fire” by Ed Sheeran (2013) from the Hobbit soundtrack (34:48) Garrett’s 1st Homophonic Example: “Taking Care of Business” Bachman Turner Overdrive (1974) (36:12) Amanda’s 1st Homophonic Example (also homorhythmic): “Come and Get Your Love” Redbone (1973) (38:06) Garrett’s 1st Polyphonic Example: “A Man’s Gotta Do” from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008) Also we did realize it’s Captain Hammer, not Hammer Man Also also, her name is Felicia Day, and she’s awesome (39:45) Amanda’s 1st Polyphonic Example: “Tiger Rag” recorded by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (2009) First recorded by the ODJB (Original Dixieland Jazz Band) in 1917 Louis Armstrong and His Allstars “Tiger Rag” is great, too (YouTube) Amazing Bob Havens rendition of “Tiger Rag” (YouTube) (41:16) Garrett’s 2nd Polyphony Example: “The Cleaner” from the Toy Story 2 soundtrack (Randy Newman, 1999) (43:33) Amanda’s 2nd Polyphony Example: “Ave Maria… Virgo Serena” by Josquin des Prez (ca. 1475)   46:48 Listener Question from Michael M: What are our goals for the podcast and why did we start it? Garrett: Wants to support Amanda, wants to have fun, and misses talking about music Amanda: Thinks a lot of musicians are bad at talking about music and wants to help with that Amanda: Wants everyday people to be able to talk about their favorite music and why the love it just as intelligently as they can tell you about their favorite TV shows, sports teams, other hobbies, etc. Hopefully this podcast gets you interested in concerts you may not have gone to otherwise Hopefully it gets parents to encourage their kids to participate in music Participating in something new helps create more well-rounded people   49:32 Sign-off Thanks for listening Have a great day!

This week Lia talked to Claire and Lia's dear friend Katie about her two favorite bad movies... THE MUPPETS & DR. HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG!! "Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, is on vacation in Los Angeles with his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary's girlfriend, Mary (Amy Adams). They discover that greedy Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) plans to raze Muppet Studios and drill for oil on the spot. Desperate to save the Muppets' former stomping grounds, the three friends join forces with Kermit to reunite Miss Piggy, Fozzie and the rest of the gang to hold a telethon to raise the $10 million they need to save the studio ." "Dr. Horrible tries to get into the Evil League of Evil by defeating superhero Captain Hammer."

In the final part of our San Diego Comic Con 2014 coverage, we talk about Tracy winning a Captain Hammer costume contest, our favorite cosplayers, and our votes for coolest displays on convention floor including the Walking Dead Terminus building, Lego versions of Rocket Raccoon and Groot, the life-size Hot Wheels Darth Vader car, the zip-line over Gotham city, and the 75th Anniversary Batman display. We also discuss the new look of Batman from the upcoming Batman v. Superman film, the new Terminator movie and television series, Walking Dead season five, Weird Al, Shazam, Tremors, True Detective, Falling Skies, and the joys and terrors of seeing ourselves on video.

Entertainment Weekly has dubbed him "The Geek God". Whether you know him as Captain Malcom Reynolds, Captain Hammer, Hal Jordan or Richard Castle you won't want to miss him!

This week's blender is plain greek yogurt, olives, hot Chinese mustard, and black bean tofu scramble.  Cody dresses up as Captain Hammer, we make fun of Greek people, and everyone freaks out when Judd explains the concept of angel babies.

In this episode we talk about games. Special guest star: Captain Hammer.

It's one for the Whedonites! Join Jerad Formby, Kathy Lehman, Jill Valuet, Melvin Ladera and Paul Storrie (with a little help from Damon Shaw and Mike Ortiz) as they plunge through pithy dialogue, ass kicking women and pop culture references with the BEST WHEDON CHARACTER. Firefly got no love in Best Spaceship, can Captain Mal reverse things and pound Captain Hammer?  Can Willow work her wild witchery for the win (didn't we use that line before? I don't know, do you think writing this stuff is easy?) Can Echo assume the identity of a winner?  The Whedonverse began with Buffy, will the fight end with her?

Themes for recurring characters can bring a great element in to a long-form show. Here are some we put together for Prognosis: Death!.In the last instalment about Prognosis: Death!, Impro Mafia's long form improvised show, we talked about how character themes can contribute to the immersion of a story. Dan from Impro Mafia has been hounding me relentlessly to record a medley of the themes from P:D!. (Well, ok, he's asked me twice. Lay off, man!) I finally got around to it, and just in time, too - the second season of Prognosis: Death! is right around the corner.Some of these character themes were pretty well-formed during the first season. Others were still on their way, especially where I was still getting to know the characters.Here's that medley, along with a breakdown of how it maps to each of Prognosis Death's characters.Listen to Prognosis: Death! Medley or download it from Podbean.comListen to P:D! Theme by Tim Wotherspoon or download it Intro: A piano-only interpretation of Tim Wotherspoon's excellent theme music.Best Damn Doctor: Dr Burton Mangold (played by David Massingham) is the hospital's uberdoctor. Patients rarely die on his watch. And when they do - the drama! Mangold's music is an upbeat triumphant march, very heroic. I must admit borrowing a fair bit from Captain Hammer's opening number in Dr Horrible for this.Meanwhile, At The Nurses' Station: During the show, as one scene finished, the narrator would call the beginning of the next scene, priming it by introducing the characters and the location. The Nurses' Station was a great spot for some of the characters to meet, gossip, and console over impossible relationships, unaware that the latest supernatural threat to St Love is on the rise.The Leggy Avenger: Nurse Lotte Buble (played by Natalie Bochenski) has been with the hospital for a long time. Things never quite go her way, but she soldiers on. Buble has a variety of unusual skills (one of which comes from the audience at the start of the show), including a doorframe repair person and a masked superhero.Buble's theme is mostly upbeat, bittersweet, and resilient.Love Theme: Dr Mangold and Nurse Buble's simmering tension often seems hopeless, as they set their feelings aside to deal with the latest crisis to hit the residents of St Love. This theme, or variations on it, often appeared when Mangold and Buble had the stage to themselves.Faith and Donations: Reverend Thistlewaite (played by Wade Robinson) was the name of a variety of members of the cloth that appeared in different episodes, all with different countries of origin but somehow always named Thistlewaite. Jeremy Thistlewaite. Jeremy Von Thistewaite. Jeremy McThistlewaite. These Thistlewaites seemed to die. A lot. Three Seconds Behind: Dr Ludwig LeStrange (played by Dan Beeston) is the hospital's mortician. He doesn't have very much to do, thanks to Dr Mangold and the low mortality rate at the hospital. Dr LeStrange is introverted and outwardly calm, but hides all manner of emotion and tension. He has awkwardly formed hand gestures; due to a bizarre time travel accident, his fingers are three seconds behind the rest of him. His theme music is sad and discordant. This is the theme music I figured out first. Sadly, I recently discovered that Dr LeStrange's theme works very well as backing to Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time. Sigh.Hunting for Doilys: Dr Harold Dean (played by Luke Allan) is the hospital adminstrator, and Dr Mangold's arch enemy. Dean schemes to scrimp and save every penny to generate more profit for the hospital. Healthy people aren't profitable, so Mangold's prowess in the operating theatre runs counter to Dean's agenda. Dean is always looking for a way to take Mangold down.Dean's music is a nice counterpoint to Mangold's, similar in tempo and feel, but with a descending minor chord structure vs Mangold's ascending major chord structure.Will Have Ten Cats: Dr Melody Carmichael, Intern (played by Amy Currie) is the youngest staff member at the hospital. She is good-hearted, somewhat naive, and tries to do the right thing. (Well, until the first season finale where, possessed by Satan, she orchestrates the death or downfall of nearly every other character. St Love is a complex place.) Scratch the surface and her ambition to be a great doctor shines through.Melody's music is positive, a little oblivious, and happy.Finale: The finale music, again based on Tim's theme, has a chord progression with a ring of finality and triumph. I avoided the temptation to use it early, and saved it for the very end of the last show of the first season.Sadly some of the cast didn't have recurring theme music. Michael Griffin swung in to support roles for whatever story was on, playing every part imaginable - a giant vampire kitten, a dying psychic child, a mafia enforcer, up to Rick Cocksteady (the one doctor better than Mangold). The director and narrator Greg Rowbotham got on stage for the last show to play the angel Gabriel, sneakily encouraging a fallen Mangold to get back to the hospital and make things right again.Mike has challenged me to come up with theme music for Thistlewaite, and for each of the villians that make an appearance this season. I accept your challenge, Mr Griffin.I'm pleased that the show is returning for a second season at the Brisbane Arts Theatre. For Prognosis: Death! Relapse I'm sharing music duties with Nathan Howard, a fellow improvising musician here in Brisbane. I hope this show is as much fun for him as it is for me!
