Podcasts about How Music Works

Seuraava MIETI VÄHÄ! jäi limboon, mutta sitä odotellessa Joonas ja Vade ovat palanneet lukulomaltaan toteuttamaan lupauksensa musiikkifilosofiapodista! Luimme yllättäen käteen sattuneen tutkimuksen musiikkifilosofiasta Turun akatemiassa. Jukka Sarjalan Music, Morals and the Body: An Academic Issue in Turku 1654-1808 (SKS, 2001) antoi syyn fiilistellä filosofisesti musiikin taikavoimaa kontekstissa, missä nykyaikaiset tavat lähestyä musiikkia eivät päde. Entä jos keskeistä musiikissa ei olisi esittäjä tai tuote vaan sen yleisöön kohdistama vaikutus? Entä jos musiikissa olennaista tutkittavaa olisikin kappaleiden ja partituurien sijaan sen mystinen kyky pistää ihmiset tuntemaan ja liikkumaan? Ja miltä suomalainen akateeminen filosofian tutkimus ylipäätään näytti 'bout 300 vuotta sitten? Tässä podissa vertailemme dnb-miksejä uuden ajan kamarimusiikkihetkiin ja käymme läpi musiikin kykyä herättää Voimakkaita Tunteita.

Abonnez-vous à la Newsletter : mailchi.mp/372ce005d7cc/explizik Alors cette semaine, je vais vous donner de la lecture pour l'été. Explizik a pour vocation de vulgariser le fonctionnement de l'industrie musicale et lorsque je trouve un rapport intitulé How Music Works, je saute dessus. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65fc5fa49f382d5afc459bac/t/66969c7f501ac57812e99d71/1721146517342/ORCA+Setting+The+Stage+%E2%80%93+How+Music+Works.pdf

Welcome to part two, of this two part episode with Brandon Rowan, aka Birocratic.In case you missed part one of this conversation, Birocratic is a Brooklyn-based producer, making sample-based beats in the vein of ‘70s funk and old-school New York hip hop, augmented by live-recorded bass guitar and synthesizer. Birocratic's Beets albums have topped the Bandcamp hip-hop charts.And Birocratic has toured the US multiple times, including stops at venues like Red Rocks in Colorado. Finally, Birocratic has co-written songs with Grammy-award winning artists. Birocratic currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.If you have not already, I can't recommend enough that you check out part one of this convo we where discussed:- Approaching your creative process through a place of excitement and fun versus hard work.- Lessons learned from giving lessons to other producers.- Motivation.- Making money and its place in artistic development- AND, of course, our mini-listening session, where we played a couple tracks and talked about what we heard.Now, in part two of this conversation, we discuss:- The importance of establishing your own purpose- Appreciating the amount of work behind the scenes of others who appear to be “ahead” of you.- Building Relationships through collaboration.- The state of streaming as it relates to beats.- Building an audience of true fans of what you do.- How Birocratic went from making beats in his dorm room to catching a buzz and developing his career.As you'll hear throughout this conversation, Birocratic has a deep passion for making music. Birocratic continues to explore and expand his horizons while spreading motivation and encouragement to others around him. This conversation is full of ideas to keep you moving forward.Top 3 Gems From This Convo:1. DECIDE ON YOUR WHY. If you develop your own sense of purpose and direction as to why you are pursuing what is you pursue, you are less likely to be distracted or thrown off of balance by the whims and opinions of others.2. LEAN BACK LISTENERS ARE STEP 1. Do Not Forget: A large quantity of passive consumers is not necessarily a signal that you have a real fan/customer base. If building an audience is something you have decided is a priority (see Gem 1), explore ways in which you can develop direct relationships with people who are interested in what you do.3. DON'T OVEREMPHASIZE VANITY MECTRICSThe gamification of much of what we do and share online can lead us to focus on areas that don't serve our growth and development. It is important to monitor goals and purpose (again, See Gem 1), while ensuring that your efforts are directed to help you reach them.Listen on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Tap in with toru:Substack: Instagram: @torubeattiktok: @torubeatTap in with Birocratic:email: birocratic@gmail.comInstagram: @birocraticTo jump to a specific moment in the conversation:00:00 Introduction 02:20 In It For The Money 02:30 The Value and Importance of Purpose 05:02 Lack of Visibility into The Careers Of Others 05:20 Birocratic's Trajectory and Origin 09:50 Outreach and Hustle (finding places for your music) 11:00 Appreciating the Work of Others You Can't See 11:56 Taking action based on context 12:15 Building Relationships and Offering music in the world and era of tiktok and digital creators 13:08 Honesty about where you are in your career 15:12 Valuing Your Own Music 15:40 Chillhop Music History and Birocratic's Role in its development 19:50 Starting From a Place of Creating Quality/Adopting a Long-Term View 20:30 The rise of other labels following the model demonstrated by Chillhop 20:50 The State of Lofi and Streaming 23:30 Ideas for approaching relationship building 25:40 How Music Works and the Quality of a Music Scene 26:20 Meet Your Internet Friends IRL 27:30 Lean Back Listeners and How to Build an Audience 28:00 Monthly Listeners Talk 28:30 Monthly Listeners v.

In this episode we welcome acclaimed novelist Michel Faber to RBP's Hammersmith HQ and ask him about his new book ... as well as about a 1979 interview he did with the young Nick Cave. Barney gets the ball rolling by asking the author of Under the Skin and The Crimson Petal and the White what he set out to do with Listen: On Music, Sound and Us. Viewing music through a variety of prisms — from nostalgia and snobbery to racial bias and auditory biology — was the book at least partly an exercise in demystification? A stimulating conversation unfolds as Michel answers questions about "MOJO-fication", vinyl fetishisation, and live performance. A tangent on tinnitus takes us to his memories of seeing (and hearing) one of the Birthday Party's last shows... and waking up temporarily deaf the next morning. Which in turn leads to discussion of the interview our guest did as a student at Melbourne University with the pre-Birthday Party Boys Next Door, and then to clips from a 1995 audio interview in which Nick Cave answers Andy Gill's questions about Murder Ballads and Kylie Minogue. Finally the "panel" considers the week's featured artist (and a key influence on the early Birthday Party): the archetypal "MOJO-fied" cult hero who traded musically under the moniker Captain Beefheart — and whose exceptional paintings as Don Van Vliet feature in a new exhibition at Mayfair's Michael Werner Gallery. After Mark quotes from recently-added library pieces on Little Walter, Sylvester, Ornette Coleman and Björk, Jasper wraps up the episode with his thoughts on articles about the aforementioned Kylie Minogue, Goodie Mob and The Face. Many thanks to special guest Michel Faber. Listen: On Music, Sound and Us is published by Canongate and available now from all good bookshops Pieces discussed: 'Revolution 9', David Byrne's How Music Works, Nick Cave: A Boy Next Door, Nick Cave audio, People talk about BEEFHEART!, Captain Beefheart, Don Van Vliet, Little Walter, Joni Mitchell, Iggy & the Stooges, Ornette Coleman, Björk, Phil Everly, Sylvester, McAlmont & Butler, Kylie Minogue, Goodie Mob and The Face.

“Things fall apart- it's scientific” is a line from the Talking Heads song “Wild Life”. Like most Talking Heads songs, including the one from which the This Must Be The Place podcast takes its name, the lyrics are a bit bookish. “Wild Life” seems to be a reference – one I haven't actually fact checked – to popular scientific accounts from the mid 20th century, theorising the trajectory of the universe and of life in it. Entropy, or the second rule of thermodynamics, refers to the “general trend of the universe toward death and disorder”. And in 1944's “What is Life”, Schrodinger put forward the idea that life itself is a kind of negative entropy machine, defined by a temporary state of order-from-disorder. Aside from sometimes passing on copies of our DNA, however, the ends of our lives are as apparently inevitable as that of the universe. Meanwhile and despite this cheerful thought, our lives are temporarily put together from bits and pieces, material and digital. People attempt at various times to curate, purge, hoard, systematise or selectively narrate piles of memories and things and files. Friends and relatives might do the same for us after we pass away. Music, and the changing technologies through which music is created and duplicated, forms one part of this. In “This is your Brain on Music”, Daniel Levitin writes about how music can connect people to times and places long after their more practical memories have faded. Side note – the music we remember the most vividly tends to be from when we are 14 years old. I was not 14 years old, but I remember the first time I heard the Talking Heads song “This Must Be The Place” because it was on the soundtrack to the film “Wall Street”, which I watched on a rented VHS tape in 2001 before I first travelled to the US. David Byrne of Talking Heads later discussed the effects of a century of music technology in “How Music Works”. The study of technology and media as part of the social and historical record is not new – in coining the term “the medium is the message” Marshall McLuhan in 1964 proposed “communication medium itself, not the messages it carries, should be primary focus of study”. Radio and records are central to Ken Burns' History of Country Music – previously, songs were reproduced and adapted through live performance. The Carter Family's early recorded songs were said to have been “captured, rather than written”. But what of the music so many people now record themselves, and which does not form part of the broader popular or cultural memory? How do people give order to their own songs and recorded music over the course of decades, during which mediums for recording and sharing music have come and gone, and changed fundamentally? The topic has been more in my mind and conversations of late in light of the recent death, from Motor Neurone Disease, of an old friend of my husband. Two decades ago, they and others spent years writing and recording music together in garages and warehouses. But you can't always find, let alone access old recordings. Listening to a song is one way of putting yourself into a place and time. Music is geography and is also technology. In the shift to digital, each new technology promises less physical stuff, less clutter, perhaps even a kind of longevity. It's an illusion – the archiving and curation of our own music is contingent on constantly changing technologies and media which are as fallible as the material world. There are extremes to navigate – you might have only one copy of a song, or you might have hundreds of copies of lurking old CDs. I've put together a rough chronology of different technologies for recording and sharing music that I've used, over the 1980s to 2020s. I've included example songs where I could find them – its own saga. Radio, cassette, VHS, studio and home recorded CDs, social media, digital releases, vinyl, the cloud, and back to a missing hard drive – and a song about the ephemeral artificial Lake Mokoan.

On Books, on "Dune, " on Uncle Buck and Marcella! After a few weeks apart, the Halls reunite to talk books, TV series, and the new movie "Dune." And being us, we manage to squeeze in all sorts of intriguing tidbits, from the inspiration for the movie "Home Alone" to the fact we're "famous by proxy." We discuss:Books:"Ghosts of New York," by Jim Lewis.  A novel that suspends the laws of time and space follows four characters in the Big Apple."The Silver Arrow," by Lev Grossman. The author of the adult-themed "Magicians" series writes a fun children's yarn involving a magical train and saving the world."How Music Works," by David Byrne. The Talking Heads frontman explains how the making of music stems from context (time, place, the technology available) and looks at his own musical history. Highly recommended."A Mind Spread Out on the Ground," by Alicia Elliott. This raw memoir explores the ongoing effects of personal, intergenerational, and colonial traumas on Native people.Streaming/Theaters:"Dune": Denis Villeneuve ("Blade Runner 2049," "Arrival") directs an engrossing, visually stunning adaptation of Frank Herbert's complex 1965 sci-fi novel of otherworldly adventure, political intrigue, and giant sandworms."Marcella",  a Netflix drama with a London detective (Anna Friel) coping with marital woes, her struggles as a mom, and a tragic loss—while she excels at catching killers."Uncle Buck," a lesser but still enjoyable John Hughes movie with John Candy as a bachelor slob babysitting his brother's kids in suburban Chicago, to their chagrin."In the Dark": The third season finds our hot mess blind girl (Perry Mattfield) and her friends on the lam while searching for her abducted pal Jess. And having lots of sex.

Al centro della puntata di oggi la mitologica dea greca distributrice di giustizia: Nemesi. Noi, però, siamo presuntuosi e intendiamo trasformare una dea in un oggetto del desiderio: il nuovo disco dell'Illogic Trio. NEMESI, le composizioni. Nemesi è un concept album i cui brani hanno iniziato a prendere forma molto prima della pandemia. Ognuno dei componenti del gruppo, ognuno con un background diverso, portava con casualità, ma con tecnica e ispirazione, basi di partenza o modifiche ritmico e armoniche ai pezzi. Il più recente ingresso in formazione del contrabbassista Gabriele Pagliano ha arricchito il lavoro fatto fino a quel momento dal pianista Lucio D'Amato e dal batterista Ugo Rodolico. Il trio scopre che stà lavorando al nuovo progetto utilizzando una tecnica di "composizione condivisa" meglio descritta da David Byrne dei Talking Heads in un suo libro dal titolo "How Music Works". Il risultato è un enorme mole di materiale inedito che si sintetizza negli 8 brani pronti alla pubblicazione poco prima del lockdown, a febbraio del 2020. Arriva così, inaspettatamente e tragicamente, il tempo per un ulteriore riflessione sul processo creativo e, quindi, al concept album. Il concetto viene spiegato soddisfacentemente da Lucio D'Amato e Ugo Rodolico, ospiti di questa settimana nella puntata. Il Concept Album I tre componenti dell'Illogic Trio si accorgono che con le loro composizioni hanno iniziato a musicare immagini di riflessione sulla contrapposizione e la sintesi di due concetti: l'ordine e il caos. I due momenti che, per l'appunto, vengono equilibrati dalla giustizia della dea greca Nemesi. Musicalmente, la nemesi è presente soprattutto nei titoli e nelle musiche di Shadow Hunting (titolo di due brani che aprono e chiudono il disco - Opening Scene e Closing Scene), Dancing with the Big Bang o The last Chromosome (composto da Gabriele), i tre singoli che hanno aperto la strada all'album. Brani, per i cui dettagli concettuali, vi rimandiamo all'ascolto del programma o a far visita al canale Facebook del Trio. Alla concezione, però, non sono da meno gli altri 5 brani inclusi nel disco, anche l'unica cover nata su Mad World dei Tears for Fears, qui magnificamente rifatta. Il concetto è l'iter sono, poi, ulteriormente arricchiti e spiegati con il suggerimento di ascolto di brani di altri autori che l'Illogic Trio porta nella puntata. La nostra impressione è che l'Illogic Trio produca, con logicità e fervore, una musica che trae forza dal classicismo europeo e con uno sguardo rivolto a un futuro movimentato e spigoloso nel quale, poi, ognuno di noi è chiamato a trovare il proprio momento armonico con la vita e con il mondo in cui siamo, inevitabilmente, immersi. Nella dualità ritrovare il proprio equilibrio, senza immedesimarci in Nemesi, non siamo dei. Non mancate l'ascolto della puntata e concedetevi del tempo per l'acquisto e l'ascolto di un ottimo disco.

No one enjoys getting a shot at the doctor’s office. But there is something you can do to ease the pain. We begin this episode with a little strategy that can cut the pain in half. But you have to do it just right. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27514-hold-your-breath-to-dampen-the-pain-of-an-injection/ Music plays an important role in our lives – but why? We don’t need it to survive yet every culture on the planet has music of some sort. John Powell, author of the books Why You Love Music (https://amzn.to/2IC5PTG) and How Music Works (https://amzn.to/2kcOYrP) joins me to examine the fascinating role music plays in our lives and why we like the music we like. Buying something that is biodegradable or has biodegradable packaging sound like a good thing. However, things don’t really biodegrade in a landfill like you think they would. Listen as we explore that topic. http://www.sustainablebabysteps.com/biodegradable-waste.html Have you heard of the “New Power”? It is the power of connecting communities. Uber does it. Airbnb does it. Facebook does it. Their power comes not from owning something but from connecting people to something. Henry Timms has explores this in his book, New Power: How Power in Our Hyperconnected World – and How to Make it Work For You (https://amzn.to/2IzIDB7). He joins me to explain how it works and how you can put it to work for you and your organization. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're back once again with Dennis White aka Latroit aka Static Revenger. He was our very first guest ever, and came back a couple years ago and interviewed me. Links below. Since then he won a GRAMMY for best remix of Depeche Mode's "You Move," and today we're learning a bit about what that does for someone's career and how to leverage wins to keep the momentum going. This is a short episode, and it's part one of three with Latroit. Coming up, we'll be tackling a couple topics relevant to his business and seeing what we can learn from each other. Love to hear what you think of that format if you want to leave us a comment.

MMMS Podcast Ep #7: How Music Works with Marcin Bela (Part 1) Find on iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud & YouTube “Movement Medicine Mystery School Podcast” While I am not an expert of any kind on how music works, I often ponder the MYSTERY of how the sound waves impact me to such a point and in such a way as to move me viscerally to tears, anger, joy and even full body orgasmic bliss (yes it is true). To me, for me - music has become my Beloved - the ultimate Lover of my Soul. So, when I found Marcin Bela talking doubt “How Music Works” on Facebook I JUMPED at the opportunity to ask him onto the Mystery School Podcast! Marcin Bela is a composer, teacher and performer of music located in Nashville, TN (hoot hoot!) I found Marcin and his work via his Facebook Group “How Music Work”. This group is an outpouring of his love and passion for music as a place to explore all the many faucets of the inner workings of music with musicians and fans alike. He created this group as a way to interact with others about this concept “How Music Works” as he wrapped up writing his upcoming book under this same title. Just some of the mysterious musical topics we cover in todays podcast: * IS there a secret chord? * How he uses idea of the universe to explain how music works * How music notes become numbers (!!!) * Archetypes and music as pure archetype * How music can step us into different dimensions * Power and strength/chaos and order/harmony, structure and freedom “How is freedom not chaos and isn’t chaos oppression in a way? Don’t we need structure to feel freedom, and at some point structure can become oppression?” * How classical music was a replica of the feudal system * How current music patterns are not dumber but are...

No one likes getting a shot at the doctor’s office. But there is something you can do to ease the pain. We begin this episode with a little strategy that can cut the pain in half. But you have to do it just right. (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27514-hold-your-breath-to-dampen-the-pain-of-an-injection/)Music plays an important role in our lives – but why? We don’t need it to survive yet every culture on the planet has music of some sort. John Powell, author of the books Why You Love Music (https://amzn.to/2IC5PTG) and How Music Works (https://amzn.to/2kcOYrP) joins me to examine the fascinating role music plays in our lives and why we like the music we like.Buying something that is biodegradable or has biodegradable packaging sound like a good thing. However, things don’t really biodegrade in a landfill like you think they would. Listen as we explore that topic. (http://www.sustainablebabysteps.com/biodegradable-waste.html) Have you heard of the “New Power”? It is the power of connecting communities. Uber does it. Airbnb does it. Facebook does it. Their power comes not from owning something but from connecting people. Henry Timms has explored this in his new book New Power: How Power in Our Hyperconnected World – and How to Make it Work For You (https://amzn.to/2IzIDB7). He joins me to explain how it works and how you can put it to work for you and your organization.

David Byrne's self-titled album is a personal moment in his creative history, but do his lyrics have meaning? Or do they simply dredge up emotions for the listener? Also, how does an album that's this diverse have such a white, middle class identity associated with it?  Interested in the media we discussed this episode?

Christopher (@stoneymonster) and Elecia (@logicalelegance) chat about listener questions and things they’ve been up to. A listener turned Chris on to Ray Wilson and his Music From Outer Space website on DIY analog synths and book Make: Analog Synthesizers. After collecting parts for a total DIY, he found and built a neat kit: Kastle Synth (as heard on the show) and has connected it to his Roland SE-02 Analog Synthesizer (on Amazon). BTW, his ham radio WSPR kit is the Ultimate 3 in case you are behind on hobbies. You can hear more about it in 197: Smell the Transistor. Elecia has been working through Udacity’s Self-Driving Engineer nanodegree. She completed term 1 with its computer vision and machine learning and is on to term 2 with sensor fusion, localization, and control. She blissfully is unaware of the cost because she got to be an industry expert for the Intro to Self-Driving Cars course. Listener Simon asked about non-fiction books. Elecia gets many of hers by looking at what is on discount at BookBub’s science section which lead to two books she highly recommends Spirals in Time (snail facts) and Tristan Gooley’s How to Read Water (beach explainer). Chris has been reading Scott Wolley’s The Network: The Battle for the Airwaves and the Birth of the Communications Age and How Music Works by David Byrne. Some show-related recommendations include Gretchen Bakke’s The Grid (hear Gretchen on episode 213: Electricity Doesn’t Behave Like an Apple) and Jimmy Soni’s Mind at Play (hear Jimmy on episode 221: Hiding in Plain Sight). She’s reading Tim O’Reilly’s WTF book about the future in anticipation of an upcoming episode. That's a good reminder: we, of course, also recommend Making Embedded Systems. Zach asked about Michael Barr’s Embedded Software Training in a Box. Apologies if we weren’t specific enough, it would likely make a better blog post. Also: $1 Microcontrollers!

Yliana Paolini is a constant doubter, doubting from herself to the universe itself.  She is an artist from Luxembourg who likes to create, but doesn’t see herself as a GREAT artist, just somebody who is willing to go beyond her comfortable zone to get more of what she loves, which is passion itself. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/yliana In this episode, Yliana discusses: -How doubt is something that is prevalent with creative people and how it never seems to go away. -A bit of history in her tattooing career and why she decided to go into music. -How her tattoos are for pleasing other people, but her art and music is for pleasing herself. -How she feels after just releasing her first EP. -How she had to find a balance between the tattoo artistry and the music. -Her advice for anyone who already defines themselves in one particular field of art or creativity that is thinking about trying a completely different form of art. -How the main thing that held her back and still does to some extent is her ignorance in knowing what she wanted. -How her ego held her back from pursuing music because of the imagined limitations it placed on her. -The fear that people have to jump into something unknown, but how we should all do it anyway. -How simply thinking positively isn't enough -- you have to take action. -Working on and mastering her EP with a Grammy winner. -How doing art and tattooing gives her balance and a form of meditation, which leads to peace of mind. Yliana's Final Push will inspire you to understand that it is YOU who decides what to do with your life. Quotes: "Music is the way I can express myself in the best way." "Music for me is my healing tool." "I think I found myself some sort of balance." "First of all you need to believe that you can do it." "We all have a different way of learning.  We all grow in a different rhythm." "Just let that little light from the end of the tunnel shine through and guide you to create something."

Let There Be House: It's a Rhythmy Thing When ever I go on vacation, I am always inspired by the Caribbean Rhythms to put together a set full of various rhythmic house tunes but what is Rhythm. Rhythm is any regular recurring motion, symmetry generally means a movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions" This general meaning of regular recurrence or pattern in time can apply to a wide variety of cyclical natural phenomena having a periodicity or frequency of anything from microseconds to millions of years. In the performance arts rhythm is the timing of events on a human scale; of musical sounds and silences, of the steps of a dance, or the meter of spoken language and poetry. Rhythm may also refer to visual presentation, as "timed movement through space" and a common language of pattern unites rhythm with geometry. In recent years, rhythm and meter have become an important area of research among music scholars. In his series "How Music Works," Howard Goodall presents theories that human rhythm recalls the regularity with which we walk and the heartbeat. So feel the rhythm with me and as always peace and love. 1. 5 Bags of herb (The Healing Of The Nation)(Original) - Matthias Heilbronn 2. Storm Troopers (Original Mix) - Will Power & Attison 3.

Colin Marshall sits down in San Francisco's Mission with Ethan Nosowsky, Editorial Director at McSweeney's. They discuss security breaches at the McSweeney's office by overenthusiastic fans seeking a physical connection to their favorite publisher of physical books; his tendency to act as "the Joe Lieberman of publishing" in his editorial career, carrying unchanging tastes through changing times; Geoff Dyer, the writer with whom he has worked the longest, and how the subject-independence of Dyer's writing parallels the subject-independence of his editing; the counterintuitively un-self-indulgent qualities of "Dyeristic" prose; memoir booms vampire booms, and the eternal bad-book boom; how he finds the real action in hybrids of fiction and essay, and how those forms provide the surprises that all art should; his life in New York publishing before his homecoming to the San Francisco Bay area, and how he has come to regard the ecosystem/echo chamber of the New York literary scene at a distance; the dominance of food and technology over books in Bay Area culture; David Byrne's new ​How Music Works​ , and other books that you want certain authors to write; and the potential usefulness of the authorly switcheroo, as when Dyer planned to write a book about tennis but wrote a book about Andrei Tarkovsky's ​Stalker​.
