Whether you play the organ or the kazoo, the most important part of playing music is to enjoy it. Keyboard instruments have a broad range of sound, making them some of the most versatile musical instruments. That includes the piano, harpsichord, organ, and many others. Today, many people even see them as part of a completely different family of instruments-the keyboards.Īny instrument that produces notes when keys are hit falls into the keyboard family. That’s right! It can be put into either family. The piano is both a percussion and a string instrument. Would that make it a percussion instrument? Where does the piano fit? But those strings vibrate because they’re struck by a hammer. is the piano a string instrument? Or is it percussion? The sound comes from vibrating strings.

By pressing the piano’s keys. One of the most popular instruments of all- the piano-is hard to classify. But sometimes, it’s not so straightforward. You play the tambourine by hitting it with your hand, so it’s part of the percussion family. It’s played by blowing wind to vibrate a wooden reed. The saxophone is clearly a woodwind instrument. Often, it’s pretty obvious what family an instrument falls into. Percussion instruments make a sound when hit, whether with a stick or hand. They also have valves that help change the sound that comes out. Brass instruments are also played using wind, but they’re made of brass. Most members of the woodwind family can be made from wood and are played with wind. Cowbell, wood block, tambourine, guiro, hand drum, triangle Classroom Percussion Listening Quiz.

Why do jazz renditions of the Sinnoh work so well in transcribing the music from in game to reality. Like a lot of people try and fail to really capture the way older games sound for a more traditional audience. If we look at the sinnohvation by insaneintherain, he does the same things a lot of other musicians do - add texture and complexity, insert more tracks to accommodate said complexity, and so on, but he succeeds at transforming sinnoh music into something that I could believe was actually the intended sound instead of just a rendition. Idk. This ask is all over the place

The answer is sort of threefold:

Insaneintherainmusic had I think 5 years of experience at that point turning video game music into jazz, and he collaborated with a dozen other artists on that album to combine their expertise.

The man is incredible talented and has mastered his craft, and anything he does appears more effortless as a product of that.

2. The DS is really special. Diamond & Pearl released in 2006. In terms of retro music, this is some of the most technologically advanced you can get while still feeling old.

I've been meaning to make a special interest post for a while about the DS's music capabilities and how it taps into the way we think about retro game music/chiptune while still being so advanced that the composer can do whatever they want. I'll do the short version now:

Older game consoles use something akin to a MIDI system, and PC games of the same era did too. Basically, instead of a rendered song file, the console receives a series of instructions about what notes to play at what time using what instrument at what volume, and the console is performing this music in real-time. The amount of space a cartridge could dedicate to sound was limited, and the actual processing ability for instructions was limited, so songs were short, used simple (or bitcrunched) instruments, and only used so many of them at a time.

But then we have the DS. Home consoles had moved on to rendered music, but its cartridges couldn't support that so it was stuck with MIDI; but it benefited from all of the advancements in MIDI technology, both hardware and software, that had been made up until that point. What that means is that, while the quality of the instruments and sounds the DS could produce was limited, the actual quantity and complexity was not.

Basically, the instruments were not perfect but better than they'd ever been, and the actual compositional limitations were functionally non-existant.

3. The DPP soundtrack is uniquely positioned in the transitionary period from classical to pop, and that means it's weird and complex and simple and diverse in ways that create ample opportunity to jazz it up.

You may be familiar with the Mozart or Pokemon Quiz, which makes clear just how much the original soundtracks were making up for the lack of technical complexity in the music with compositional complexity. In the Red & Blue soundtrack only 3 notes could be played at a time. 3 notes. And no percussion, because that track was dedicated to sound effects. So the composer opted to use classical techniques to keep the energy where they couldn't use chords.

Flash forward to the DS and those techniques aren't necessary, since we have pretty good percussion and other instrument capabilities. Pokemon was now capable of producing more modern-feeling music, but still had an obligation to its compositional roots, to "feel" like Pokemon music. So the soundtrack is filled with interesting arpeggios and syncopation and other elements of musical complexity that make translation into jazz far less of a stretch than either the previous or the later generations.

Also some of the songs are just jazz.

Katy Kirby Album Review: Blue Raspberry

(Anti-)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Cubic zirconia. Blue raspberry flavoring. Synthesizers: Do they truly possess less innate worth because they're not organic? Or is worth determined by the value we put on them? These are the questions Katy Kirby grapples with on her sophomore album Blue Raspberry, but in the context of self-definition, outward image, and the mind games of people in a relationship. Just like on her stellar debut Cool Dry Place, Kirby's clever wordplay elevates mundane imagery into deeper queries on life and love. Blue Raspberry, though, is more biographical and more instrumentally sweeping; that is, Kirby's first written album as an out queer woman, more emotionally complex than anything she's released to date, required more elaborate arrangements and production than the comparatively sparse Cool Dry Place. "Why wouldn't that be enough?" she sees herself asking throughout the queer love songs of Blue Raspberry, always answering by yearning for something more lush than bedroom recordings of bedroom-and-beyond tales.

Nonetheless, on Blue Raspberry, what happens between walls carries major consequences, and Kirby expertly builds up her stories. Take opener "Redemption Arc"--its title itself a reference to plot and narrative--with its initially arpeggiated piano and Kirby's vocals following the melody atop weeping strings. "I pour out a drink and I stand for a toast / I raise up a glass to your personal growth," she sings, ambiguous in her tone. Eventually, you realize she's being sarcastic, which mirrors her significant other's lack of genuineness: "You misspelled apology / You ended it with I and E / Diminutive contrition / But I still know what you mean," she sings, sliding a grammar joke into her barb. Towards the end of the song, producers Alberto Sewald and Logan Chung's pattering drums and distorted bass swell as Kirby tries to prevent tragedy, albeit recounting the dark humor of the event: "I lock the doors and I talk you down," she sings, quipping, "I put our reconciliation in my calendar." Leave it to her to supply an album's worth of sounds and moods in one song.

But with Blue Raspberry, Kirby's given us a whole collection of tunes tied together through their balance of romance and rawness. "Cubic Zirconia" concentrates on surface-level attraction and her attempts to nonetheless dig deeper. "Magazine quiz called you apple shape / You look to me like dollar signs," Kirby flirts, eventually admitting that her wants can usurp her needs: "I'm still craving that unstable sort of shine." The collection of key instruments on the song, from panning Rhodes piano to organ, gives it an expansive, yet tactile feel, an expert manifestation of how even the cheapest jewelry and plastic can gleam. The album's title track--whose writing process helped Kirby realize her own queerness--plays with similar ideas of authenticity. Her vocals are layered and pitch-shifted, horns and acoustic guitars muted by otherworldly synthesizers, the perfect backing to similes like, "Her eyes burn white as Styrofoam right into me."

Perhaps most rewarding about Blue Raspberry is the extent to which the same instruments can conjure contrasting feelings. Swirling, percussive textures and plucked strings on "Hand to Hand"--reminiscent of Fetch the Bolt Cutters--recall the unvarnished emotions of breakups, but in the contrast of "Fences"' statement of agency, provide a breezier sway. Sean Brennan's forlorn cello leads "Party of the Century"'s reckoning with the ethical responsibility each of us have as the world burns, while it menaces the slow-lurking, doomy "Alexandria", a song about something far more personal: the dissolution of Kirby's first queer relationship. For the whole record, Kirby enlisted the likes of Rowen Merrill to compose baroque orchestral arrangements to match the cinema of the album, which they do to great success on piano ballad "Salt Crystal" and chiming satire "Drop Dead". Kirby's anything but obvious, though, as it's actually the most gentle-sounding song that viciously guides you through the peaks and valleys of infidelity. Over a slinky instrumental, Kirby sings, "I turned off my location / Let her fuck me like you thought you did," before delivering the kicker: "I remember every minute." On an album concerned with inner and outer beauty, Kirby at least comes away with the realization that the deeper you go, the greater the permutations for levels of ecstasy and hurt.

Which Instrument - Mai Takeda

You should learn the bass

No instrument is given as little credit for doing as much work as the bass. Electric or acoustic, double or synth, the low end rumble is what gives music its form and power, and without it, Beethoven would sound weedy, funk would sound silly and drum 'n' bass would be just percussion. There are transport issues, particularly for double bassists, but at least they know they're integral to proceedings, and when they do let rip - whether it's slap bass or rockabilly - they're practically a one-man band.

[kyrie-silverwings]

Kyrie should learn....the piano!

The piano is an exceptionally expressive instrument, one that can bash out a party-starting boogie-woogie and then deliver the fiery passion of Rachmaninov with barely a pause to wipe the sweat off the keys. It's also a real challenge, not least if you want to play in a place where there isn't one. Becoming proficient in one style won't necessarily get you closer to mastering another, but the act of learning is a meditation in itself. Especially something flash and happy like a Scott Joplin rag.

“Now that I think of it, Niqesse might not mind if I practice on hers...”

Kyrien should learn the bass!

Last thing I Googled: Avatar: the Last Airbender (checking what year it first aired)

Favorite musicians: Weird Al’s probably the single artist I’m most a fan of, but my tastes are all over the place, I don’t really play favorites and I’m more likely to like one or two songs by an artist than their entire portfolio. I like Jonathan Coulton, Flight of the Conchords, Stan Bush, Ron Wasserman, MC Skat Cat and too way many others to list.

Song stuck in my head: Why Should I Worry - Billy Joel

Following: 254

Amount of sleep I get: 6-7.5 hours on school days, 8-9 hours on off days

Lucky number: Never had one, unfortunately. Seems like a fun thing to have.

Dream job: Tenured English Professor with a single-author-focus class about Terry Pratchett

Wearing: Pajamas, cause today was a lazy day

Favorite songs: Might as well ask me what my favorite organ is. If I had to throw something out I’d say that the song that got me rocking the hardest during my last commute was Eye to Eye from A Goofy Movie

Instruments: In theory I used to play percussion back in highschool but I never practiced and only ever really got to play the bass drum during performances. I’m much more of a vocalist than an instrumentalist

Facts:

- I consider myself a writer, which is to say, I have half a dozen potential, half-started projects that might eventually see the light of day at some point in the future. Maybe.

- The word “favorite” in the previous questions in this quiz were originally spelled “favourite” but I changed them because I’m American and petty.

- People always said I’d get more conservative as I got older, but I just keep getting more radically progressive and liberal. I also identify more and more with Dennis from Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail. Oh, to be a muck farmer living in an anarcho-syndicalist commune...

2. Write a percussion quartet. (IT'S FINALLY DONE YAAAAAAAY)

3. Fill out practice percussion quiz. (I've still got to review everything, but for now, I'm pleased.)

Musicology

5. Fill out peer evaluation. (After much analysis, the task is complete.)

6. Write paper. (The presentation went fantastically, especially for one that had been researched and put together in about ... six, seven hours? I certainly paid dearly with my messed up sleep schedule.)

Pedagogy

7. Presentation. (Aside from a few small things, the presentation is basically done. WOO!)

8. Final project website. (This really shouldn't take that long to do.)

No instrument is given as little credit for doing as much work as the bass. Electric or acoustic, double or synth, the low end rumble is what gives music its form and power, and without it, Beethoven would sound weedy, funk would sound silly and drum 'n' bass would be just percussion. There are transport issues, particularly for double bassists, but at least they know they're integral to proceedings, and when they do let rip - whether it's slap bass or rockabilly - they're practically a one-man band.
