Listening analysis/ of music performance or production in the last 5 years

In general,the musical features approach is found in many different schools and locations,both nationally and internationally and so there is evidence that it basic principles are replicable and also adaptable.At Morpeth ,the programme is not genre specific and works across all age phrases,as well as with technology.Harrogate regards the approach as good music teaching and has first-hand evidence of the positive impact of the approach,including the encouragement of teachers to act as musicians with their pupils," Music teachers shouldn't be afraid to sing or play for students".Steyning reports that the approaches with older pupils are replicable in other settings,suggesting that,in more challenging schools,it could be simpler to set the different types of vocational and academic qualifications as separate options.

This link gives you the 10 most irritating sounds in music,errors in music performances.Performers play rock music which they think that they are having fun and making the audience have fun when it is actually a total commotion and not sounding good.
The last five years:-

This modern musical ingeniously chronicles the five-year life of a marriage,from meeting to break-up and from break -up to meeting.

Jason Robert Brown's Drama Desk winner,The last five years,has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of TIME Magazines ten best shows of 2001.A testament to the show's longevity,and spurred by the show's regional popularity,The Last Five years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013.A film adaptation was released in 2014,starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years,the show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy,the woman,telling her story backwards while Jamie,the man,tells his story chronologically;the two characters only meet once,at their wedding in the middle of the show.

Featuring a two-person cast, The last five years is a great opportunity for actors with both range and stamina. This intimate musical is perfect for small theatre companies and black box venues.

TIFF:Anna Kendrick on Singing Her Way Through 'The Last 5 Years':-

Anna Kendrick is in Toronto promoting a number of movies( she's a busy gal),but one is especially
close to her heart. In said film,the musical "The Last 5 Years", Kendrick gives one of her most
appealing performance as Cathy,an aspiring actress trying to hit big in New York. The film-directed by Richard LaGravenese and based on the hit off-Broadway musical-traces her characters
relationship to Jamie(Jeremy Jordan),an up-and-coming novelist,over the course of five tumulus
years." The Last 5 years,"which RADiUS-TWC opens next Valentines Day,isn't the only musical the actress has completed this year.

UK Music has publishing Measuring Music 2015-an annual economic study that reveals the true scale of the U.K. music's vast contribution to the UK economy.2014 proved to be a buoyant year for music with increased growth across the sector contributing to a staggering £4.1billion overall contribution to the UKs economy.

The art of noise:how music recording has changed over decades:-

Technology provides crystal clear recordings of all the music in the world,at little or no cost.But,as a
historical audio installation opens at the science Musuem,composer Christopher Fox asks why we won't let go of our musical past.


History of sound recording:-

Experiments in capturing sound on a recording medium for preservation and reproduction began in earnest during the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s. Many pioneering attempts to record and reproduce sound were made during the latter half of the 19th century-notably Scott's Phonautograph of 1857 - and these efforts culminated in the invention of the phonograph,patented by Thomas Edison in 1877.

The history of sound recording- which has progressed in waves,driven by the invention and commercial introduction of new technologies-can be roughly divided into four main periods:-


the " Acoustic". era,1877 to 1925

the "Electrical" era, 1877 to 1925(including sound on film)

the "Magnetic" era,1945 to 1975

the " Digital" Era,1975 to the present day.

Effect of Errors and Delays in Inventory Reporting on Production System Performance:-

Abstract:-

A discrete linear control has been used by the authors to examine the performance of multi-level,multi-product production control systems operating in an environment where system errors are expected. The basic method was reported in and it's use to examine system structures and system implementation sequences was discussed in (2). Production control systems operate in an uncertain
environment.Besides the commonly considered uncertainties in demand,yield,quality and delivery times,errors frequently exist in basic data such as bills of materials and occur in stock records as a result of incorrect or late transaction recording. This paper presents the basic discrete linear control representation of MRP and ROC systems,shows how these representations may be modified to
include certain types of internal system error, before examining the effects of delays in stock recoding and of recording errors on the performance of the system.Performance measures include the effects on schedules,planned stock and delivery performance.

Evolution in music is the name of this video.This shows that the rhythm is changing and there is no fixed rhythm which they have because of their medley. The beat boxing doesn't sound so clear in this video.

This video is called closing Ceremony by Estelle.
In this video what I have realised that the way she is singing is the matter of feeling sad,She is sitting
near the piano while singing and in the field of sports,the athletes are crying even though they won their matches which shouldn't be the case because,It is good that you worked hard and it is the matter of feeling happy.The singer should have an appropriate standing posture while singing.

The name of this video is ( Shaggs  my Cutie)  and the error in this performance/Production recording is that it is off tune,off beat and off time.A little bit.


Listening Analysis/errors in music performance

Track 1: ( around 8.50):-

Too much noise and pathetic singing. The vocals need to improve their pitching and the drums shouldn't be played continuously. The music is in slow motion.Bass should also sound good. Music is out of time and out of tune. It doesn't sound like an actual music video. There is not much Singing,In this video or performance, Only the drum, bass/guitar is being played meaning mostly instrumental versions. What Could've been done is to add a pianist meaning there should've been a piano sound/version in the intro and singers could sing better some of them could do harmonies in the beginning. This track is not even a performance or a proper music band. Basically the structure,vocals etc. need to improve to make a better performance.

Track 2: (in the introduction):-

Too much  harmonies and it is not coming clear. Secondly the harmonies and the singer are stretching some of the phrases for too long and Infact the instruments like guitar and drum are also too loud. What could have been done to fix it is that the harmonies shouldn't two much and should only be in very little parts of the track.Secondly, the singer and Of course,the other band members should know what they're doing and the singers should know the words of what they're singing(lyrics should be learnt).

Track 3:Faulty Version and Goodish Version:-

Singing needs to Improve. Too many harmonies in between the track and the words are not clear.In the Goodish Version it is still Similar, but luckily this time what has happened is that the singers who are doing the harmonies are repeating after the Singer which sounds much better. What could've been done to prevent or fix the faulty version, is that the singer alone could've sung the first paragraph of the song and the harmonies could've also joined after him and after each paragraph. There Should've been an intro Starting with a drum/bass/guitar/piano which wasn't there. The singer aloneshoulddo the verses and all of them including of those doing the harmonies should've sung the choruses. The pitch of the harmonies should be slightly Higher. Otherwise in both the Versions the beat was good and both the versions . The beat was good and both the tracks were similar to each other. Also the phrases should not be stretched for long while Singing.
