Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is a well-known song in the rock community, and it ranked 11th on the rock charts when it was released in 1992. There has been many covers of the song since its release, but the most musically different cover had no vocals and was 100% acoustic. Apocalyptica, a metal band, recreated Nothing Else Matters with only cellos. Without harnessing any of the instruments used in the original song, Apocalyptica composed a brand-new classical sounding version of a popular rock song. The original Nothing Else Matters begins with a steel-string guitar solo that lasts approximately one minute. After a brief drum fill, the vocals begin. The vocals are more rhythmic than they are melodic, and they put emphasis on the
Does the education system encourage or improve your intelligence?. Base on the two articles “This is water” by David Wallace and “Learning to read” by Malcolm X. What I really Know is that education knowledge help you to see life in different ways, open your mind. May be education accelerate the process.

At one point they come together center stage and perform contact improvisation. The white male pressed his head into the side of the black man affecting his movement as they slowly come to their feet. All while, the background music supports this idea of tension between the two with soft yet powerful drum beats, light snares, and the sound of a woman softly wailing in pain. All of these movements, interactions, and sounds complete a mood of separation, pain, and
The hint of keys, breaks, and intense drumming, excels in it's craft, while packaging the heightened tempo all under two minutes. Despite the music being loud, and constantly on a high, all tracks contain the smallest of detail that represents the band's technique, such as "Lovely Eyes" - which provides a break of Swann speaking on how a girl will say she needs 10 mins to get ready, but it turns into 20.This comical break, that leads back to the driving drums, provides charm and personality. "Little Blue Dress," is a personal favorite that also displays these small details, heard in the drumming, groovy keys hidden in the intensity, and Swann's vocals that excel on every
In Brian Stokes Mitchell’s performance, he possesses great phrasing in which added various layers to the song. The piece requires a vocalist who can sound sincere recite such powerful and thought provoking lyrics. Brian Stokes Mitchell ending note had a full tone and sustain pulsing vibrato. Brian Stokes Mitchell displayed how important it is for a Vocalist to connect to a piece and to understand the context of the lyrics. I believe an audience can tell when someone is not being authentic and people truly enjoy when an artist can be vulnerable enough to show them a piece of their
There is a lot of vocal harmony, and then speaking solo parts as well. The performance media is horns, with a little bit of
Seventeen seconds into the song an additional instrument possibly the sound of a top hat are added and enter with a
In her award-winning first novel, Nobody Is Ever Missing, Catherine Lacey tells the story of 28-year-old Elyria who, without telling a soul, buys a one way ticket to New Zealand, leaving her unfulfilling life in Manhattan. As her husband tries to find out what happened to her, Elyria begins a life of vagabond travels and wilderness pursuits. She is, it seems, leaving civilization in the dust. I both loved and hated this novel. I do want to know why a young woman would flee from her family and reject society in order to reflect on her deeper desire to find meaning in her own experiences.
The instrumentations were two guitars, keyboard, tenor sax, electric bass, and drums. It is an energetic piece. They started together then everyone was having a virtuoso play. Between each solo, the drums would fill in four to eight beats. When they were doing solo, other instruments would only played few chords with syncopated rhythm to support. The only instrument that did not have solo was the bass; he was mainly playing the root and “walking bass” pattern to support the melody. Before the last section, the sax was having solo and it started with steady slow rhythm and it sped up with aggressive rhythm and the whole song ended with everyone playing together.
The fifth song was hand drummer used sand rattler instead of hand drum. The drum solo in this song was very powerful and brought the exhilaration of this concert to the climax. The change of unpredictable rhythm and tempo made audience excited. Many audiences were clapping with rhythm.
Likewise, the texture also changes throughout the song. The texture is initially thick when the three instruments are playing during the intro, and remains thick until the chorus. The texture becomes even thicker when the brass instruments play during the chorus, and it becomes thin during the guitar solo. The texture returns to being thick once the solo ends. Moreover, the electric guitars, drums, and keyboards create the song’s tonal color, while also blending together well because the instruments work well with each other; the instruments do not clash.
The cymbals are being played louder for a few seconds, and have now calmed down. The song ends with a quick saxophone combo and then ends with a cymbal hit. The radio host is now talking and is now saying that all those were different songs, and it just so happened that the transitions sounded so smooth to make it look as if it were still the same song. He says about over five different artists. He talked to fast and I was not able to keep up to make up the names of the artists he named. The host announces that donating to this foundation will allow you to pick up a free tee shirt and be entered into a raffle to win 91 CDs. A work from Jimmy McGriff is now being played. The drums are constant in the background while the saxophone is playing solo magnificently. The bass guitar is now being played while the saxophone has stopped. The synthesizer is now being played. The saxophone is now back in unison with the synthesizer playing very high notes. The song ends with the synthesizer holding on to several notes being pressed down on with the drums making a flurry of beats, mainly on the cymbals again. A new song is now being played with a guitar being
So currently, i’m about one minute into the opener ‘Resolution’. Something that struck me was the rich vocal harmonies at the beginning of the song, there are plenty of staples of the “djent” subgenre appearing throughout the track. You have the TesseracT esque chord arpeggio, clean guitar intro bleeding into a heavy riff and then dropping out to the verse, which is very ethereal and spacey melodically with a thundering syncopated drum
“If you came here to see spandex and big hair, this ain’t your band”, Metallica’s “war cry” throughout the early eighties. While the rest of the hard rock bands wanted to get rich and a lot of women, Metallica, as in the words of former lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, “Our hole existence pretty much was guitar, dominating the world and getting liquored up”.
Further evidence of the Song as rooted in oral performance is that it is filled with sound play—“the ultimately a
The second vocal ensemble of the night started out with a song which included a twelve bar blues, called “ I use to know you”. This performance consisted of the most combinations of solos of the night as well as using an improvising style. The entire band started all together which led to a Trumpet solo. Then Jose on the Sax did his solo followed by the pianist comping. Then the choir along with the band joined together to lead to a female solo which was particularly interesting since she was scatting. The second performance of this ensemble was “Spring can really hang you up the most” which consisted of 3/4 time and 4/4 time. This started with a female solo vocalist then a male one. The band as a whole played together and ended with a male solo scatting. The third and shortest performance of the night was a vocal acapella piece, “Love walked in” which was short and sweet. The fourth performance of the night was a Richmond Rogers piece. This had a rhythmic swing/salsa feel from the “Lady is a tramp”. This started with the rhythm section, with the male vocalist and horns. Then the female vocalist from the choir joined and concluded this piece. The fifth performance for the group was a sequel to voice stand an acapella piece by Greg Jaspers. This song started with the choir using their voices as the instruments altogether. The final performance of the night was one of
