Context essay

What it has got to do about my music is that I learn that they are very old bands and artists and I am learning their songs and performing them in college in the Gigs.Like for example Billie Jean by Micheal Jackson,Come together by the beatles and writing reviews if necessary ,It is a good experience to learn,as I never knew this before.


We had been learning in Band workshops Bob Marley one love,Billie Jean,Beat it and PYT by Micheal Jackson.This also similar about what I learnt about the Island records and also about Bob Marley in it.I never knew about the 80s before and especially about the music that was shaped and came from it.I am from I am from India, andnow as I recently relocated to Uk,I am finally getting a chance of study img about it and performing/playing it on the musical instrument which is the piano in music class sessions and listening and playing during the gigs.
I had been looking through the Internet,Blogs and other links as well to complete this task.It gives all the details 
about changes in the music that became thick during the 1980s and 1990s,I mean to say that these are very old and we all our studying and understanding about it.
People had been doing a lot of work to set up industries,it took them time to make CDs,cassettes etc.for people to listen to music.Changes in music became very thick and very fast during the 1980s.It consisted of two genres Bob Marley in 1981 and John Lennon in 1980.
In the pop world Micheal Jackson was the one who became a solo artist. https://plus.google.com/117879285261463035507/posts/jkJEqAiZTQZ.

About how the audience interacted with the musicians was that they had been talking about their songs to make 
people excited and they could sing in the choruses and the main part of the songs.This seems to be an amazing 
experience.Yet we have got to learn more about the Decades in 1980s.

Research of Margaret thatcher

Margaret HildaThatcher,Baronness Thatcher,LG,OM, FRS,FRICTIONS (nee Roberts;13 October 1925 to 8 April 2013) was a British stateswoman who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and the first woman to have held the office.A Soviet journalist dubbed her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

Originally a research chemist before becoming a barrister, Thatcher was elected Member of parliament for Finchley in 1959. Edward Heath appointed her Secretary of State for Education and Science in his 1970 government. In 1975, Thatcher defeated Heath in the Conservative Party leadership election to become Leader of the Opposition and became the first women to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became Prime Minister after winning the 1979
general election.

On moving into 10 Downing Street,Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives intended to reverse high unemployment and Britain's struggles in the wake of the Winter of Discontent and an ongoing recession. Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment,until victory in the 1982 Falklands War and the recovering economy brought a resurgence of support,resulting in her re-election in 1983.

Thatcher was re-elected for a third term in 1987. During this period her support for a Community Charge (referred to as the "poll tax") was widely unpopular, and her views on the European Community were not shared by others in her Cabinet. She resigned as Prime Minister and party leader in November 1990, after Micheal Hesltine launched a challenge to her leadership.After retiring  from the Commons in 1992, she was given a life peerage as Baronness Thatcher,of Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire,which entitled her to sit in the House of Lords. After a series of small strokes in 2002, she was advised to withdraw from public speaking.Despite this,she managed to prerecord a eulogy to Ronald Reagan prior to his death,which was broadcast at his funeral in 2004. In 2013,she died of another stroke in London at the age of 87.

Christopher Percy Gordon "Chris" Blackwell (born 22 June 1937) is an English businessman and record producer, and the founder of Island Recorders,which has been called "one of Britain's great independent labels."

Island Recorders was founded in Jamaica on 4 July 1959 by Chris Blackwell, Graeme Goodall and Leslie Kong, and partially finance by Stanley Borden from RKO.

As of February 2014,three Island label brands exist in the world:U.K.,USA and Australia.Partially due to the labels significant legacy, Island Recorders artist Melissa Etheridge stated :If you want to look at world music,music of the last fifty years that changed the world,you need look no further than Island records."

Here are 2 set lists,The first one consists of the one which was in order for today's gig,and the second one consist of the band members.Who performed today.

Winter gig review/evaluation

Today,we had a gig in room no. 139 in the college,Level 2 and level 3music performance students meaning all of us had performed the songs we had been practicing during the Band workshop classes and Songwriting sessions/classes.

It was a good performance and also I feel that this is the end of the term and which is why we had been performing our original songs as well.

So first the level 2 music performers performed on stage,the song which I liked best was the song named happy by phirall williams and I liked the way the singers and especially Peter sang and a good sense of rhythm.

Then after the level 2 music performers,it was our turn,I was first with my group band members which consisted of Beatriz,Russa,Danielle and I who were the singers,Olly on the guitar/Bass,Ivan on the piano and Junior who is a music production student was the drummer,We had a good time engaging with the audience,and also it was good that I sang,because usually I keep playing the piano and my friends could watch me sing as they never heard me before apart from the music certificate performance which happened in October,I liked watching the other performers as well and being a good audience,I feel good by James brown was the one which we practiced in the band workshop classes.
 Then  in between there were other L 3Music performers performing on stage,All those performers meaning who were the ones who were performing on the original songs of there own,The elements are Found Sound,Ostinato,Strings etc.I'm  In the last two performances,I performed again on stage with the group band members,The second last one was an original song called 'to the river running free',the element was Ostinato,which is a repeated phrase throughout the most of our music band performances,The Ostinato performance Consists of Marco and Kyrah who were the vocalists,Hasna on the guitar,Russa on the bass,Junior on the drums and I as the pianist playing the Ostinato in the choruses of the Song.
The next one was the song which we again played in the Band workshop was teardrop by Massive Attack.Another thing is that the Song Superstition  and teardrop are in two of the performances because there are two different people and especially the drummers. So in the first part of Superstition,Morgan is playing the drum and in the second part of Superstition,the drummer is Junior.Same thing for teardrop by Massive Attacks.I was in the last one in Junior's group for teardrop song.It is the same band and there was one more person I forgot to mention,Mimi was playing the Guitar in Both teardrop and I feel good.Olly was on the bass in I feel good. The only difference in teardrop was,I played the piano and Ivan shifted to the keyboard.I played the chords very well but there were a few mistakes but it was ok,But I at least participated.

Another thing I wanted to say is that,I do practice at home imagining that the group band is already with me and I am playing/singing with them but when we perform together in college,It is a little different as to what we are doing,for example in Superstition and I feel good,We had to change the key.Next time we will ensure that we perform better and improve our skills in the course and in life.Otherwise everything is Ok and I was happy that I performed well today.

The content of the performance was that the key signature had to be changed in I feel good,rhythm was the same,In our original songs,the Ostinato was changed prior to rehearsals.

The one which with my band workshop group are performing is teardrop by massive attackpart 1 and I feel good by James brown.This performance was much better in the yesterday's band workshop class.We just need to practice a bit more for the winter gig.In James brown we had to change the key from D major to C major,to make it sound nice.The teacher and the band workshop members have been very supportive and we could perform well.I am the vocalists,with two to three other girl vocalists named Beatriz,Danielle and Russa,Junior is playing the Drums,Olly is playing the bass,Mimi is playing the guitar/bass and Ivan is playing the piano in I feel good by James brown,We sang the harmonies of the musical part of the song along with the pianist.In teardrop song by massive attack,I am the pianist,Mimi is the guitarist,Beatriz,Russa and Danielle are the vocalists,Junior is the Drummer and Ivan is playing the piano.We kept practicing in every band workshop class for 1 and a half hours and therefore we could perform well and can do even better than this.
We will also be performing our own original songs for the winter gig which we had been doing in our songwriting classes.

1 December 1974:Manchester Utd fans behind bars,Context/External gig

"The Stretford End of Manchester United football ground ground is a kind of cademy of violence,where promising young fans can study the arts of intimidation," wrote Keith Colquhoun in the text accompanying Ray Greens photograph. The shot indeed captured the club at an extremely low ebb,relegated to the second Division and bedevilled by hooliganism. A pitch invasion following defeat to Manchaster City-with a late goal from former United hero Denis Law- led to the construction of 9ft spiked fences behind both goals,through which their fans are seen urging the team on in this photograph.AC.

Live Review:Iron and Wine at Birmingham town hall

The band started off,surprisingly,with a funky rendition of  'Boy with a Coin'. At once,I could tell it was going to be an amazing show;Sams beautiful,raw voice was heightened by the full sound of the new band.A few songs later a beat started,indicating that the next song was going to be an acoustic one, prompting the audience to clap along as soon as they realised this was the prelude to 'Freedom Hangs Heaven'.The keyboards joined in,and gradually more instrumental layers were added until the song ended with a big sound integrating the entire band.'House by the Sea' served as a showcase for the talented sax player,who gave an incredible solo towards the end of the song.Another old favourite-'Sea and the Rhythm'- was skilfully transformed into a slower version with new sounds,most notably high -octave piano notes to polish the song off.

Composing task Decades 2

So far,we had been working on two three tracks and we are supposed to have to tracks in our soundcloud,related to James brown and Stevie wonder.I had been using various instruments to create a track similar to the songs which we had been doing in class and then making an actual song of my tracks.I have been playing similar chords of the songs.I had been using volume and pan for the sound of the instruments with a help of a radiator.Hence,sounds interesting.I had been cutting and chopping into pieces and using microphones to speak as part of practice in one of the tracks.I had been shifting some pats of the tracksfrom one side to the other.I added more instruments along with the sound of instruments being played on my track.Basically whatever songs we were listening to in the composing class,we had to make our own track whatever came into our mind,and should go with the beat.I was taught how to make a song by putting my various instruments in place.
What techniques,I had used is after I used the instruments,I put them in the right place in the song,The verses and the choruses are being repeated with other instruments and as well as the intro and outro sound the same as to when we know that which is the starting and ending point of the song.Hence to make the parts of the song sound the same,I did some editing ,copying and pasting of some of the instruments in the tracks I used so far.What I feel is that when I click on any instruments in my track and start playing it,Some of them are played in a different way as to not to go out of time and beat.I tried going with the beat.I gave starting point of my track of especially the piano tune and then the drums and so on with other instruments.Th ever sees consists of mostly the piano and the choruses consists of Brooklyn instruments.Stevie wonder track is a continuous mixed track which there are lots of instruments put in.Why I had used audio files is because I felt that it would be a practice and I will get an Idea as to how I am doing in both my sequencing as well as composing classes/tasks.I just basically wanted to make some tracks randomly of my own because I am used to doing this but I shortened it before sharing and embedding it into Soundcloud and deleted some instruments which were not required.Superstition is the best song of Stevie wonder.

Rolling stone:-

Most of the love songs on talking Book have a romantic idealism reflected in the shimmering,translucent quality of music."You Are the sunshine of My Life," "You and I (We Can Conquer the world)," " Lookin' for Another Pure Love"and "I believe (When I fall in love it will Be forever)"all share this quality without becoming redundant.Stevie Wonders second album this year is in many ways a reprise with variations of the first,Music of my mind. Both are ambitious, richly-textured,almost entirely the work of Wonder himself,who produced(with assistance,primarily on the Moogwork, from Malcolm Cecil and Robert Morgouleff),composed the music and all but a few of the lyrics,plays the bulk of instrumental tracks (aided here and there on Talking Book by eight musicians including,on one cut,Jeff Beck and Buzzy Feiten)and sings densely multi-tracked.

Pop matters:-

Okay.As concepts go,this one is unusual to say the least. While its common for musicians to record songs they love that are written by other musicians,I've never heard a singer re-releasing another singers entire record.That,in a nutshell,describes Macy Grays version of Talking Book,Stevie Wonders seminal 1972 album and the one that contains a couple of songs that even non-Stevie fans will recognise ("You are the Sunshine of my life ","Superstition").

New statesman :-
It says that it has been 40years since Stevie wonder showed off the otherwordly range of this keyboard.
The notes made by this made by this unobtrusive little rectangle sparkle through the 1970s like space dust falling on the disparate worlds of a musical Galaxy.In the late 1950s and early 1960s Hohner-best known for harmonics-had been experimenting with portable versions of familiar keyboard types.

Aristotle:-
In the age of social media,the overuse of superlatives tends to render each assessment meaningless.His three plus hour recreation of the 1976 album Songs in the key of Life laid out a
sprawling extravaganza of emotion.It took nearly 30 musicians, a string section,and a gospel chorus to mirror the 100 or so who participated in the original production.This is by Aristotle.

To what extent,I can agree is about the songs of Stevie wonder especially on the song superstition.It is a very old album and was produced /published or recorded by someone else in some cases.

By Barry Walters

When Kate Bush debuted in early 1978 with "Wuthering Heights," arguably pops most uncanny ballad,she arrived as England's first and perhaps only out of the box genius. Several years earlier,a publicist and Bush family friend gave Pink Floyds Dave Gilmour a demo of over 50 songs recorded when she was only 15.

On this and 78's follow up Lionheart, Bush sang fearlessly of religion, incest,murder,homosexuality,and much more.Theres room for a life in your womb,woman,"she crooned with the earnest of a Michigan Womyns Music Festival radical,and did so while much of Europe was watching.

Variety film review:-
An outwardly normal suburban Perth couple who abduct,torture,and murder schoolgirls must face their funny games in debuting writer-director Ben Youngs genre bending powerhouse thriller "Hounds of love".
It's Christmas time 1987 in the sun-baked western Australian city as Evelyn and John White (Emma Booth,Stephen Curry) brutalise and kill a teenager in a discretely photographed sequence that reveals little blood but a chilling routine.

Funding organisation Screenwest claims the film is the first to be developed,filmed,and posted entirely in the state of WesternAustralia. This bodes well for the local industry, as "Hounds of love" is a calling card not soon forgotten.

These are some lies/paragraphs of articles Coles/reviews about Stevie wonder talking book and Kate bush hounds of love.

These are some more things about stevie wonder and kate bush as to whatever we have been doing in the composing class.
the main tracks which I had uploaded to my sound cloud and then to my blog which is the last post are James brown and Stevie wonder tracks

I used some of my own audio tracks to create a song out of my tracks.

External gig,Review 3,lowky gig

https://youtu.be/1xkOsJwwr6M
This gig was amazing because apart from performers who stand and move as they perform,The performers who supported lowky,moved in excitement,walked around the stage and were successful in engaging on the stage and towards the audience,I also liked the audience singing along with the performers.The way the performers performed on stage was a way of expresses feelings and making the whole audience and everyone enjoying the show.It was like a sound and light show because ,the light reflects on the person who is performing,when the performer speaks very fast,The words are not very clear,as to what is happening.The performers had a good sense of rhythm and this show was a lovely experience for me.They also wanted to thank everyone for this show like the supporters,security etc.They rocked the stage and I liked the audience taking videos of the performers.Especially,in the Song called terrorist/Soul,I liked the way the performer was waving his hand towards the audience.Actually,all the performers were successful,they had a lot of confidence and enthusiasm towards themselves.Hence,I enjoyed.The performers were successful in talking about the meaning of their songs.People clapped,shouted etcSome of the performers were those who were supporting lowky,hence that is why it is called the lowky gig.The final performance was the performers who were singing a song as part of their performance called Ahmed.The Audience enjoyed,which is why the performer said thank you all for coming.It has been a wonderful evening as the performers rocked the stage.The overall impression of this entire event is I also enjoyed and like the sound,rhythm and everything.I also liked moving with the musical beat.

On this and 78's follow up Lionheart, Bush sang fearlessly of religion, incest,murder,homosexuality,and much more.Theres room for a life in your womb,woman,"she crooned with the earnest of a Michigan Womyns Music Festival radical,and did so while much of Europe was watching.

• Variety film review:-

An outwardly normal suburban Perth couple who abduct,torture,and murder schoolgirls must face their funny games in debuting writer-director Ben Youngs genre bending powerhouse thriller "Hounds of love".
It's Christmas time 1987 in the sun-baked western Australian city as Evelyn and John White (Emma Booth,Stephen Curry) brutalise and kill a teenager in a discretely photographed sequence that reveals little blood but a chilling routine.

Funding organisation Screenwest claims the film is the first to be developed,filmed,and posted entirely in the state of WesternAustralia. This bodes well for the local industry, as "Hounds of love" is a calling card not soon forgotten.

Rolling stone:-

Most of the love songs on talking Book have a romantic idealism reflected in the shimmering,translucent quality of music."You Are the sunshine of My Life," "You and I (We Can Conquer the world)," " Lookin' for Another Pure Love"and "I believe (When I fall in love it will Be forever)"all share this quality without becoming redundant.Stevie Wonders second album this year is in many ways a reprise with variations of the first,Music of my mind. Both are ambitious, richly-textured,almost entirely the work of Wonder himself,who produced(with assistance,primarily on the Moogwork, from Malcolm Cecil and Robert Morgouleff),composed the music and all but a few of the lyrics,plays the bulk of instrumental tracks (aided here and there on Talking Book by eight musicians including,on one cut,Jeff Beck and Buzzy Feiten)and sings densely multi-tracked.

Pop matters:-

Okay.As concepts go,this one is unusual to say the least. While its common for musicians to record songs they love that are written by other musicians,I've never heard a singer re-releasing another singers entire record.That,in a nutshell,describes Macy Grays version of Talking Book,Stevie Wonders seminal 1972 album and the one that contains a couple of songs that even non-Stevie fans will recognise ("You are the Sunshine of my life ","Superstition").
New statesman :-
It says that it has been 40years since Stevie wonder showed off the otherwordly range of this keyboard.
The notes made by this made by this unobtrusive little rectangle sparkle through the 1970s like space dust falling on the disparate worlds of a musical Galaxy.In the late 1950s and early 1960s Hohner-best known for harmonics-had been experimenting with portable versions of familiar keyboard types.

Kate bush Hounds of love and Running up that hill are very good songs and Some of us had been practicing in Band workshops and learning about it in other lessons such as context classes.

Group presentation

What we had been doing so far in our songwriting sessions is we thought of a metaphoric
song,we named it "to the river running free don't mind me let em be". The topic is Life and as well as freedom and also why we did this is so that the performers can give an opinion about this song.The band consists of Hasna playing the guitar,Russa on the Bass ,Samarth which is me on the piano playing the obstinato which means a repeated phrase throughout most of the song,Marco and Kyrah as the vocalists meaning singers.I am playing the obstinato on the chorus and singing silently with the others.The producer is Kyrah/Hasna/Russa.We kept thinking of the words in a song and kept working it out.It was Ok,  meaning not too good or bad because we were out of beat and time,but we will improve on the main performance,We are trying very hard.The song is like the verse chorus verse chorus and verse.More like poem of rhyming words.Concept was clear in mind.Chords are E C and A.C major scales related stuff are in the song which we will be performing.Ostinato is the main element.The song talks about who we are and what we feel towards the river.Progress is Ok.Kyrah is the producer and Russa as well.I felt OK as we kept rehearsing during these songwriting sessions.We have also got one Music production student named Junior,he is doing beat basing on the stool using it as a drum beat for the song.If we do songwriting on our own meaning that if only one person does it alone and composes it,it requires a lot of work.It is fun and a good experience if we do it more with group members,therefore we are working and understanding each other and the teacher can help us and it is much more fun and we can understand what is going on.However,we must also try and apply our mind,therefore,I am getting an idea of my and my groups progress while we are doing work on the song during these practical sessions.Hence we can improve it a bit more.Director is Hasna/Kyrah and Marco.Mostly Kyrah,Hasna and Russa had been working on the lyrics and how to sing it.Marco was the singer.I was figuring out the chords by listening to the guitar and bass,then finally I tried matching the Ostinato.I played notes A and E.Creative negotiations were positively and diplomatically done.

Kyrah was the artistic director

Russa -Hasna-Samarth instrumentalists.

Marco and Kyrah vocalists

We were all producers as we all contributed with it.
In today's presentation on 5th December,Kyrah was absent means that she didn't come.So only Marco,!e,Hasna,Junior and Russa were there but it was still ok.We will do better on Friday.
We changed the key today and I had to change the Ostinato to match the chords of the song.
