And Then There Was Pub Rock
Introduction I have been listening to “Goodbye Nashville, Hello Camden Town” which is a compilation of songs that went under the label “Pub Rock”. This was a peculiarity to the UK, and was a reaction to the overblown glam bands and stadium rock excesses that occurred in the thoroughly seventies.

A look back at Charlie Smith + friends live at the arthouse
Hello, it's only me again. You know that man who does gigs sometimes and spends the rest of the time watching old horror movies and eating pizza. Not the most interesting life I can assure you, but we are not here to talk about that today. We have some far more exciting news for you. I want to talk about a Gig I hosted at the arthouse on the 9th of September. Some familiar faces returned to make a lovely night of music. I was for the second time a very unintimidating doorman, but I must self-congratulate myself and say that I am improving. Maybe I have got to hit the gym, but hey at least I am pleasant meet and greater. In this article, we are going to take a look back on the evening and also take a look at a brand new musical partnership that seems to have developed.

Best Way To Learn Classical Music At Home
In today’s modern world, many prefer to learn only contemporary music genres such as jazz, pop music, and so on. Most youngsters regard classical music as “outdated,” “boring,” and “irrelevant.” However, one cannot disregard the strong relationship between modern and classical music. Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Adele, and many other famous artists in today’s music industry have incorporated classical music into their works.

Where The Gigs Start
Saying Things They say life starts when your best made plans take a break on the side of a highway somewhere between Moab and Sedona on the reservation in the middle of June. They also say that none of these things really matter. You could've lived in Japan, played music in Australia, kayaked many rivers, climbed many peaks, but really life spits out "who cares" at you around every turn. That's why playing music and making art is important. It really jumbles everything together and plops you down in a coffee shop so you can pretend to write and enjoy your favorite brew. That's why you're doing that in that precise moment. No one really knows what brings you there and with time you learn to not care about that either. Now that doesn't mean that everything's not sacred. Not caring and being sacred as it turns out are two very different things. The answer to why this is requires lots of contemplation and few words and so it's better to refrain from any true answer. Any true answer really gets away from the answer or it becomes a fake answer or something in between. It can be kind of compared to the smell of coffee versus what coffee actually tastes like. You're the one writing in a coffee shop though so it seems linked up to write this down to explain things. You're the creator in every moment and at the same time not at all.

Changes Streaming Brought To The Music Industry
In the past watching videos was only available on televisions. In which channel control what you see and how you see it. The viewer has no control over these videos. But when the computer and the internet were introduced some new ideas popped up why not make a platform that would be similar to television channels but would give the viewer more control over what he wants to watch and from which part.

How Circuit Bending Saved Me
For those of you unfamiliar with Circuit Bending, the general idea in a musical context goes like this: You buy a small consumer electronic with audio circuitry inside (a child's toy, a thrifted digital keyboard, or a guitar effect pedal).You crack open it's shell and play with its guts with wire, switches and solder until it makes a sound it was never intended to make.

Whats really needed to set up a home recording studio
It all began with little knowledge and experience. The definition of knowledge translates into know how of softwares and programs and their general functions. Experience is gained by applying the knowledge. Before one can pursue the art of music production the basic knowledge of the systematic process of audio frequencies must be attained.
