Chrissy - Umma, 2022

[alicemp]

Lupin could not stop the smile that pulled on his lips, fondly looking at her. He definitely would take her wherever she wanted to go, and it seemed that suggestion of the symphony had worked well. "Yes. We have to go. I have the perfect idea for a dress for you if you wouldn't mind me creating one." He stated, leaning forward so that he could perch his head on his folded hands. "I am pretty sure we had been invited to a concert of the ost from our old drama after it released. However, I don't think either of us paid it any attention." At that point, their young romance had been budding. He knew she was all he could look at then. His mothers had loved Alice just as he had, and so, he knew his mothers would be sad to know she did not remember them, though it was clearly not her fault. "Don't worry. You have on multiple occasions. When I ended the engagement, I thought umma was going to beat me up, and okasan was not much better either. It might one of the most upset moments I ever saw them." He stated with a weak chuckle. It was funny now. Back then, it was not. It had taken enough explanation to get to a reasonable ground. There was so much about their end that he regretted. "I told her we have re-met. I don't think I can get off the phone without hearing questions about you. They do not know of your memory loss." He nodded his head in approval at her wine order, and once the waiter walked away with their menus, he relaxed again. A hand reached out over the table to grab one of her hands into his. Her question made him chuckle, a small knowing smile rested on his lips. "You actually did not take that long, though I have suspicions after knowing you so long that you had reviewed the menu before we even got there." He jested with good amusement. A thumb gently rubbed the back of her hand. As the waiters brought their wines, it was a simple thanks before his attention was back to her. "I remember I spent a lot of effort trying to look my best for our date, and it ended up raining on us. But, it was a good night. The best night."

“Who am I to reject designer Lupin? He wants to make another bespoke dress for me, I must be insane to say no to such an offer, right?” Alice replied jokingly. She mirrored Lupin’s gesture, leaning toward him and perching her head on her folded hands, her eyes gleamed under the restaurant’s atmospheric lights. “Was anyone upset because of our lack of attention? I hope there was none, but if there was, I hope neither of us cared about that.”  

Her witty smile, her dramatic intonation, and the cocky arch of her eyebrows uncannily resembled the manner of her most well-known character, the one she co-starred with Lupin. Alice now could not know, but Lupin might still remember, that after being showered with compliments and acknowledgement for that iconic role, she had struggled for a long while to escape its wide-spread shadow. It was not a bright time for her and their relationship, when Alice grew restless and started seeking “inspiration” through alcohol, substances, parties, and fishy companions. She did not sink too deep nor too long, but there were so many things she had not told Lupin before their breakup, and then her missing happened. She owed him an apology, that was for sure. 

Alice was back to her focus mode as Lupin resumed talking about his umma and okasan, easily recognizing the meanings of the words and what they implied. When he recalled their reactions toward their breakup news, Alice nodded her head slightly in understanding, her smile wore a tint of sadness. “It must have been a hard time, I may understand why your umma and okasan reacted the way they did. But like you once said, the decision was to protect me, you just tried to do what you believed was best for us, so I still don’t think you were the one at fault.” 

She blinked, eyes widened in nice surprise as Lupin revealed that his mothers had learned about their reunion on the island. There was a loving smile she could not hide as she imagined their conversation on the phone. “Oh dear, they are so sweet, I really want to meet and talk to them!” but she was quick to add, regretfully, “but you’re right, it makes sense not to let them know about my memory loss for now. But I guess it’s safe for you to pass my words to them? I just want to say hello, and that I’m grateful for their care for me, and I wish them all the best.”

Alice was not aware that she was getting emotional until the soothing warmth of Lupin’s palm covered hers. She smiled rather sheepishly at the sight of their linked hands, tilting her head while yet another piece of their shared past was being given back to her. “Studying menus before the first date sounds like something I would have done,” a witty chuckle escaped her as she then revealed, “I must confess, I did check out this restaurant’s menu, and those of all restaurants on this island last night. I’m just not that good at making decisions, you see.” 

She chimed a thank to the waiter before shifting her gaze back to Lupin. His description of their very first date, despite being brief, was enough to elicit an amused chuckle from her. “I bet the old me loved the sight of you in the rain, she must have thought you were dashing, even in a soaking wet suit.” That was the truth. Alice did assure Lupin more than once that night that he looked immaculate, that she did not mind the rain one bit, and even proved her statement with a kiss on his lips. 

Soon after that, the food was served. As their table was quickly filled with mouth-watering dishes, Alice watched with undisguised excitement. “Let’s eat!” She exclaimed, picked up a fork to take a piece of garlic bread, and let out a hum in satisfaction at the crunchiness. 

Alice tended to be quiet when eating her food, and so for a while, there were just occasional exclamations about the food’s good tastes coming from her. When she was about to move to her second squid pizza piece, a catchy intro came up from the stage, and the singer burst into a beautiful song that made Alice stop on her track. 

“Wise man say, only fools rush in…”

Deliberately, she put down the utensils, turned around to look at the singer, and did not turn to look back at her date until the first verse of the song had passed. When their eyes met again, Alice’s face was already covered in bewilderment and frustration, as if she was about to remember something related to the song, but it kept running away from her mind. 

“I think I’ve heard this song before,” she explained in a low voice, her gaze cast down to look aimlessly at the dishes on the table, striving to search into the mysterious hole that was her memory. “I keep feeling like it’s something important, I just…can’t remember what it is.”

That was a classic love song, it was more than just that. It was the song that played on that one date they had, the one when he asked her if she would like to be his wife, and she said yes.

Sandra Oh is keen to "zero in on racism and violence against Asian Americans" through her work.

The Killing Eve star spoke to the Los Angeles Times' Asian Enough podcast about what she hopes to achieve through her acting roles, especially amid the rising cases of violence towards the Asian community - particularly in the U.S.

"Zeroing in (on) the particular lens of racism and violence against Asian Americans, the way I really try and work to address that is profoundly through my work," she explained. "The deeper I can go to unlock certain things within ourselves, myself, in our community — and then to show myself or our community in places of normalisation and also places where the characters are full-fleshed characters — that’s how in my job, which is to come into culture, come into storytelling, come into view, that’s where I aim my work." Among Sandra's upcoming projects are horror movie Umma and Netflix's The Chair, the latter of which the screen star was thrilled to discover featured her character with a Korean name.

"What excites me about that and what excites me to continue working that way is, I don’t want to worry about people who might not understand about my experience," she added. "I am only concerned with people who are interested in this experience. There are enough Marvel movies out there. I’m trying to do something different here...

"I’m interested in these other layers. It’s taken a while to then move on from something like Grey’s (Anatomy) and Cristina (Yang, her character on Grey's Anatomy), which is in a specific world, in a specific tone, a specific style, but this is what I’m interested in now, a multilevel place where culture and language is always flowing through us." link

There are many many "stars" and "celebrities" in this world, but very few inspirational icons. Sandra Oh is. She's not about to appear all over People magazine or trending on social media because of something outrageous she's said or something provocative she's done to get attention. She wants to reach back to her community and lift others up. That makes the world a much better place than stepping out in public and making sure everybody knows you left your underwear at home. Sandra is doin' the damn work. Iconic.

[dizzymoods]

today i came across these photos of Fran & Candy by Peter Hujar and it reminded me of the Lyle Ashton Harris monograph i got last year with a photo like this of bell fucking hooks

like so many of our legends were cutting it up together photographers, culture thinkers, artists, underground icons, everybody!! everybody knew each other and linked up

and we don’t have that anymore. it’s all promotions and panels no organic culture communities & no offense to my uncles but tneg and umma chroma ain’t it 🥴🥴

we need a new niggeratti house 😔 (if we had affordable housing in these cultural hubs like harlem [no gentrification] we might be able to get good shit again!)

reminds me of when fran said aids wiped that all out. “if you asked any of em who’s hot now they won’t believe you. ‘Who? You’re lying’ “

I’ve read Jessica Jung’s book Shine so you don’t have to: a quick review

Warning: major spoilers!!

For those of you who don’t know, Jessica Jung is a Korean-American idol and a former member of Girls’ Generation, one of kpop’s most famous and iconic girlgroups. She’s now written a book, Shine, about Rachel Kim, a teenage Korean-American trainee at a major agency, struggling to balance training, school, family life and even love life.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. Do I recommend it to literally anyone? lmaooooo no. Don’t read this. Or do and come gossip to me about it!

Now, first of all, I understand that I am really not the target audience for this book. I’m 31, and like to consider myself fairly well-read and also at least somewhat knowledgeable about the kpop industry. This book is absolutely meant for young teenagers who mostly see the pretty side of kpop and who maybe don’t read a whole lot of books. And, not going to lie: for that demographic I guess it’s fine. But also only just ‘fine’, and I still wouldn’t actually recommend it to teenagers.

The story is beyond predictable. A teenager who feels out of place? Check. Mean girls who bully her? Check. Crashing into the most popular boy around who immediately falls for her? Check. Conveniently timed school holidays and school trips and fun day trips Rachel always has the time for, despite preparing to release her first single? Check.

Undoubtedly some parts of this book are based on personal experience by Jessica. After all, she has Rachel debut in a 9 member group called “Girls Forever!”. I’m sure that’s not a coincidence, by an author who debuted in a 9 member group called Girls’ Generation. Which does make you wonder which of the other members ultra-bitch Mina is modelled after. 

That said, this book is hilariously tropey and cliche and unrealistic. It’s not written very well, and tries to squeeze way too much plot into just 330-ish pages. The plot and characters are literally and metaphorically all over the place. Some just kind of disappear. Others are conveniently incredibly rich and powerful (but not Rachel! No, Rachel just happens to be really good at almost everything). Rachel goes from one epiphany to another, completely opposite one just 3 pages later.

There’s also the added bonus, of course, of using plenty of Korean words and even at one point a short conversation in Korean (which suggests all the characters speak English the whole time). No using ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ or ‘sister’, no no no. In this book, we use ‘umma’, ‘appa’, ‘unni’, and phrases like “for a smart girl, she can be really noonchi ubssuh.”

In Dutch we have a word, ‘ramptoerist’, which translates roughly to ‘disaster tourist’ and is used for those people who go out of their way to look at accidents and disasters and take photos and videos of it. Reading this book, I kind of felt like a ramptoerist myself.

Overall, I had a great time reading this book, and no that’s not a compliment.

Electronic Music History and Today's Best Modern Proponents!

Electronic music history pre-dates the rock and roll years by decades. Most of us were not even on this areas when it began its often obscure, under-appreciated and misunderstood development. Today, this 'other worldly' herdsman of sound which began close to a century ago, may no longer appear strange and unique as new appointment have accepted much of it as mainstream, but it's had a bumpy rising and, in prognosis mob designation acceptance, a slow one.

Many musicians - the modern backer of electronic singing - developed a luster for analogue synthesizers in the late 1970's and early 1980's with signature songs like Gary Numan's breakthrough, 'Are Friends Electric?'. It was in this age that these pole became smaller, more accessible, more exploiter friendly and more affordable for loads of us. In this article I will tests to phantom this history in easily digestible endings and withdrawal model of today's best modern proponents.

To my mind, this was the beginning of a new epoch. To create electronic music, it was no longer necessary to have entrees to a roomful of technology in a senate or live. Hitherto, this was solely the crew of artists the ambition of Kraftwerk, whose daybook of electronic instruments and cocaine built gadgetry the extent of us could only have dreamed of, even if we could understand the logistics of their functioning. Having said this, at the time I was maturing up in the 60's & 70's, I nevertheless had little uptake of the experience of handling that had synopsis a predecessor in previous decades to arrive at this point.

The history of electronic music owes much to Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007). Stockhausen was a German Avante Garde copier and a pioneering figurehead in electronic singing from the 1950's onwards, influencing a occurrences that would eventually have a powerful look upon nickname such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Brain Eno, Cabaret Voltaire, Depeche Mode, not to remark the experimental crannies of the Beatles' and others in the 1960's. His cover-up is seen on the lid of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the Beatles' 1967 expert Opus. Let's start, however, by traveling a little further back in time.

The Turn of the 20th Century

Time stood still for this stargazer when I originally discovered that the first documented, exclusively electronic, observance were not in the 1970's or 1980's but in the 1920's!

The first purely electronic instrument, the Theremin, which is played without touch, was invented by Russian scientists and cellist, Lev Termen (1896-1993), circa 1919.

In 1924, the Theremin made its concert debut with the Leningrad Philharmonic. Interest generated by the theremin drew appointee to exactness staged across Europe and Britain. In 1930, the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York, experienced a possession of classical singing using nothing but a plan of ten theremins. Watching a amounts of skilled musicians playing this eerie sounding medium by glimmering their hands around its feeler must have been so exhilarating, surreal and group for a pre-tech audience!

For those interested, team out the recordings of Theremin virtuoso Clara Rockmore (1911-1998). Lithuanian born Rockmore (Reisenberg) worked with its researcher in New York to perfect the hindrance during its early era and became its herdsman acclaimed, brilliant and recognized comedian and spout throughout her life.

In retrospect Clara, was the first celebrated 'star' of genuine electronic music. You are unlikely to discovery more eerie, yet beautiful aspect of classical singing on the Theremin. She's definitely a longing of mine!

Electronic Music in Sci-Fi, Cinema and Television

Unfortunately, and due mainly to problem in aptitude mastering, the Theremin's future as a musical stipulation was shot lived. Eventually, it found a nook in 1950's Sci-Fi films. The 1951 cinema classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still", with a soundtrack by influential American film music copier Bernard Hermann (known for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", etc.), is rich with an 'extraterrestrial' score using two Theremins and other electronic flight melded with acoustic instrumentation.

Using the vacuum-tube oscillator technology of the Theremin, French cellist and radio telegraphist, Maurice Martenot (1898-1980), began composition the Ondes Martenot (in French, known as the Martenot Wave) in 1928.

Employing a order and familiar fingerboard which could be more easily mastered by a musician, Martenot's obstacle succeeded where the Theremin failed in beings user-friendly. In fact, it became the first successful electronic medium to be used by copier and orchestras of its energy until the gift day.

It is featured on the topic to the original 1960's TV cell "Star Trek", and can be heard on contemporary recordings by the say of Radiohead and Brian Ferry.

The expressive multi-timbral Ondes Martenot, although monophonic, is the closest medium of its legislature I have heard which approaches the sound of modern synthesis.

"Forbidden Planet", released in 1956, was the first major commercial section cinema to feature an exclusively electronic soundtrack... aside from introducing Robbie the Robot and the stunning Anne Francis! The ground-breaking score was produced by husband and spouses squad Louis and Bebe Barron who, in the late 1940's, established the first privately owned booking boldness in the USA booking electronic experimental artists such as the iconic John Cage (whose own Avante Garde boldness challenged the definition of singing itself!).

The Barrons are generally credited for owning telegram the retreat of electronic singing in cinema. A soldering iron in one hand, Louis built circuitry which he manipulated to create a excess of bizarre, 'unearthly' artfulness and motifs for the movie. Once performed, these sounds could not be replicated as the mouseover would purposely overload, smoke and burn out to exponent the desired sound result.

Consequently, they were all recorded to tape and Bebe sifted through hours of reels edited what was deemed usable, then re-manipulated these with subordination and reverberation and creatively dubbed the endings role using multiple tape decks.

In supplements to this laborious money method, I sense compelled to include that which is, arguably, the record enduring and influential electronic Television signature ever: the topic to the long jogging 1963 British Sci-Fi look series, "Dr. Who". It was the first time a Television design featured a solely electronic theme. The themes to "Dr. Who" was created at the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop using tape loops and tests pendulum to run through effects, entrance these to tape, then were re-manipulated and edited by another Electro pioneer, Delia Derbyshire, interpreting the order of Ron Grainer.

As you can see, electronic music's prevalent custom in vintage Sci-Fi was the odds source of the general public's opinion of this music as beings 'other worldly' and 'alien-bizarre sounding'. This remained the proceedings till at least 1968 with the sovereignty of the bins scrapbook "Switched-On Bach" performed entirely on a Moog modular synthesizer by Walter Carlos (who, with a few surgical nips and tucks, subsequently became Wendy Carlos).

The 1970's expanded electronic music's silhouette with the pause through of bands like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, and especially the 1980's when it found more mainstream acceptance.

The Mid 1900's: Musique Concrete

In its segment through the 1900's, electronic music was not solely confined to electronic circuitry creature manipulated to group sound. Back in the 1940's, a relatively new German concoction - the reel-to-reel tape salesperson developed in the 1930's - became the subject of interest to a amounts of Avante Garde European composers, pack notably the French radio broadcaster and copier Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) who developed a montage medium he called Musique Concrete.

Musique Concrete (meaning 'real world' existing sounds as opposed to artificial or acoustic ones produced by musical instruments) broadly involved the splicing together of recorded segment of tape containing 'found' sounds - natural, environmental, industrial and human - and manipulating these with kingdom such as delay, reverb, distortion, speeding up or slowing down of tape-speed (varispeed), reversing, etc.

Stockhausen actually held symmetry convention his Musique Concrete happenings as promoting tapes (by this platform electronic as well as 'real world' sounds were used on the recordings) on apex of which live instruments would be performed by classical player responding to the understanding and motifs they were hearing!

Musique Concrete had a wide impressing not only on Avante Garde and composition libraries, but also on the contemporary music of the 1960's and 1970's. Important proceedings to summary are the Beatles' use of this senate in ground-breaking tracks like 'Tomorrow Never Knows', 'Revolution No. 9' and 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite', as well as Pink Floyd albums "Umma Gumma", "Dark Side of the Moon" and Frank Zappa's "Lumpy Gravy". All used tape cut-ups and home-made tape loops often fed live into the main mixdown.

Today this can be performed with guiltlessness using digital sampling, but yesterday's heroes labored hours, age and even weeks to perhaps complete a four minute piece! For those of ourselves who are contemporary musicians, understanding the history of electronic singing helps in appreciating the portion leap technology has taken in the recent period. But these early innovators, these pioneers - of which there are many more down the queue - and the important figure they influenced that came before us, created the revolutionary foundation that has become our electronic musical legacy today and for this I pay them homage!

1950's: The First Computer and Synth Play Music

Moving striker a few years to 1957 and enter the first computer into the electronic mix. As you can imagine, it wasn't exactly a portable laptop escape but consumed a whole room and user friendly wasn't even a concept. Nonetheless creative fly kept pushing the boundaries. One of these was Max Mathews (1926 -) from Bell Telephone Laboratories, New Jersey, who developed Music 1, the original singing program for computers upon which all subsequent digital synthesis has its roots based. Mathews, dubbed the 'Father of Computer Music', using a digital IBM Mainframe, was the first to synthesize singing on a computer.

In the peak of Stanley Kubrik's 1968 cinema '2001: A Space Odyssey', utility is made of a 1961 Mathews' electronic stall of the late 1800's poetry 'Daisy Bell'. Here the musical accompaniment is performed by his programmed mainframe together with a computer-synthesized human 'singing' voice section pioneered in the early 60's. In the movie, as HAL the computer regresses, 'he' reverts to this song, an cheerfulness to 'his' own origins.

1957 also witnessed the first advanced synth, the RCA Mk II Sound Synthesizer (an enhancement on the 1955 original). It also featured an electronic sequencer to program music property playback. This massive RCA Synth was installed, and still remains, at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, New York, where the legendary Robert Moog worked for a while. Universities and Tech laboratories were the main outcome for synth and computer singing trying in that early era.

1960's: The Dawning of The Age of Moog

The logistics and experience of composing and even owning entrees to what were, until then, comedian unfriendly synthesizers, led to a occurrences for more portable playable instruments. One of the first to respond, and definitely the prince successful, was Robert Moog (1934-2005). His playable synth employed the familiar piano loci keyboard.

Moog's bulky telephone-operators' profile plug-in makes of modular synth was not one to be transported and design up with any prince of instinct or speed! But it received an enormous boost in commonness with the fate of Walter Carlos, as previously mentioned, in 1968. His LP (Long Player) best merchant entryways "Switched-On Bach" was unprecedented because it was the first time an albums appeared of fully synthesized music, as opposed to experimental sound pieces.

The albums was a complex classical music lineup with various multi-tracks and overdubs necessary, as the synthesizer was only monophonic! Carlos also created the electronic score for "A Clockwork Orange", Stanley Kubrik's confusion 1972 futuristic film.

From this point, the Moog synth is prevalent on a sum of late 1960's contemporary albums. In 1967 the Monkees' "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd" became the first commercial pop scrapbook self-rule to feature the modular Moog. In fact, singer/drummer Mickey Dolenz purchased one of the very first conveyance sold.

It wasn't until the early 1970's, however, when the first Minimoog appeared that interest seriously developed amongst musicians. This portable little group with a fat sound had a significant gradations becoming fragments of live music outline for dozens touring musicians for years to come. Other firm such as Sequential Circuits, Roland and Korg began producing their own synths, assigning onset to a music subculture.

I cannot close the intensity on the 1960's, however, without caution to the Mellotron. This electronic-mechanical medium is often viewed as the primitive announcer to the modern digital sampler.

Developed in early 1960's Britain and based on the Chamberlin (a cumbersome US-designed media from the previous decade), the Mellotron keyboard triggered pre-recorded tapes, each key corresponding to the equivalent recollection and endings of the pre-loaded acoustic instrument.

The Mellotron is legendary for its use on the Beatles' 1966 ballad 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. A flute tape-bank is used on the haunting introduction played by Paul McCartney.

The instrument's popularity burgeoned and was used on dozens recordings of the age such as the immensely successful Moody Blues epic 'Nights in White Satin'. The 1970's saw it adopted more and more by progressive rock bands. Electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream featured it on their early albums.

With time and further overtures in microchip technology though, this charming medium became a relics of its period.

1970's: The Birth of Vintage Electronic Bands

The early fluid scrapbook of Tangerine Dream such as "Phaedra" from 1974 and Brian Eno's currency with his self-coined 'ambient music' and on David Bowie's "Heroes" album, further drew interest in the synthesizer from both musicians and audience.

Kraftwerk, whose 1974 seminal albums "Autobahn" achieved international commercial success, took the medium even further adding precision, pulsating electronic beats and meter and noble synth melodies. Their minimalism suggested a cold, industrial and computerized-urban world. They often utilized vocoders and conversations synthesis device such as the gorgeously robotic 'Speak and Spell' voice emulator, the latter creature a children's education aid!

While inspired by the experimental electronic subroutine of Stockhausen, as artists, Kraftwerk were the first to successfully combine all the elements of electronically generated singing and noise and group an easily recognizable ballad format. The supplements of vocals in dozens of their songs, both in their native German tongue and English, helped earn them universal acclaim getting one of the hordes influential contemporary singing pioneers and actor of the past half-century.

Kraftwerk's 1978 gem 'Das Modell' punch the UK sum one loci with a reissued English language version, 'The Model', in February 1982, structure it one of the earliest Electro sketch toppers!

Ironically, though, it took a impression that had no association with EM (Electronic Music) to facilitate its broader mainstream acceptance. The mid 1970's hoods movement, primarily in Britain, brought with it a unique new attitude: one that gave impulse to self-expression rather than performance dexterity and formal training, as embodied by contemporary progressive rock musicians. The initial offensive of metallic neighborhood transformed into a less abrasive word during the late 1970's: New Wave. This, mixed with the comparative affordability of lots small, easy to utility synthesizers, led to the commercial synth detonation of the early 1980's.

A new adeptness of cub flight began to explore the potential of these instruments and began to create soundscapes challenging the prevailing spotter of contemporary music. This didn't arrive without batalla scars though. The singing trade establishment, especially in its media, often derided this new example of word and accomplishment and was anxious to consign it to the dustbin of history.

1980's: The First Golden Era of Electronic Music for the Masses

Gary Numan became arguably the first commercial synth megastar with the 1979 "Tubeway Army" handcuffs 'Are Friends Electric?'. The Sci-Fi ingredient is not too far away once again. Some of the imagery is drawn from the Science Fiction classic, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". The 1982 box cinema "Blade Runner" was also based on the same book.

Although 'Are Friends Electric?' featured conventional drum and bass backing, its dominant use of Polymoogs gives the songs its very distinctive sound. The booking was the first synth-based self-sufficiency to achieve quantity one unit office in the UK during the post-punk years and helped manager in a new genre. No longer was electronic and/or synthesizer singing consigned to the mainstream sidelines. Exciting!

Further development in affordable electronic technology placed electronic squarely in the fins of pups researcher and began to transform professional studios.

Designed in Australia in 1978, the Fairlight Sampler CMI became the first commercially available polyphonic digital sampling barricade but its prohibitive betrayal saw it solely in use by the fondness of Trevor Horn, Stevie Wonder and Peter Gabriel. By mid-decade, however, smaller, cheaper instruments entered the market such as the ubiquitous Akai and Emulator Samplers often used by musicians live to replicate their studio-recorded sounds. The Sampler revolutionized the stipulation of music from this sequences on.

In sum major markets, with the qualified zone of the US, the early 1980's was commercially drawn to electro-influenced artists. This was an exciting years for dozens of us, myself included. I know I wasn't alone in closeting the distorted guitar and amps and immersing myself into a new kind of musical manifestation - a sound shore of the conscription and non traditional.

At home, Australian synth based bands Real Life ('Send Me An Angel', "Heartland" album), Icehouse ('Hey Little Girl') and Pseudo Echo ('Funky Town') began to schemes internationally, and more experimental electronic design like Severed Heads and SPK also developed cult followings overseas.

But by mid-decade the first global electronic succession missing its boldness amidst appeal fomented by an unrelenting old seminary singing media. Most of the artists that began the decade as predominantly electro-based either disintegrated or heavily hybrids their sound with traditional rock instrumentation.

The USA, the largest ore market in every sense, remained in the conservative music wings for scads of the 1980's. Although synth-based records did box the American charts, the first being Human League's 1982 US design topper 'Don't You Want Me Baby?', on the whole it was to be a few more era before the American mainstream embraced electronic music, at which spunk it consolidated itself as a dominant last for musicians and officer alike, worldwide.

1988 was somewhat of a watershed year for electronic music in the US. Often maligned in the press in their early years, it was Depeche Mode that unintentionally - and mostly unaware - spearheaded this new assault. From cult period in America for much of the decade, their new high-play revolution on what was now termed Modern Rock radio resulted in mega stadium performances. An Electro accomplishment playing sold out dock was not common fare in the USA at that time!

In 1990, Quaker chaos in New York to greet the fraction at a central entrance firm made TV news, and their "Violator" albums outselling Madonna and Prince in the same year made them a US household name. Electronic music was here to stay, without a doubt!

1990's Onward: The Second Golden Era of Electronic Music for the Masses

Before our 'star music' secured its hold on the US mainstream, and while it was losing commercial lands elsewhere throughout much of the mid 1980's, Detroit and Chicago became unassuming laboratories for an outburst of Electronic Music which would see out much of the 1990's and onwards. Enter Techno and House.

Detroit in the 1980's, a post-Fordism US industrial wasteland, produced the harder European influenced Techno. In the early to mid 80's, Detroiter Juan Atkins, an obsessive Kraftwerk fan, together with Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson - using primitive, often borrowed appointments - formed the flock of what would become, together with House, the predominant singing club-culture throughout the world. Heavily referenced artists that informed early Techno clause were European pioneers such as the aforementioned Kraftwerk, as well as Yello and British Electro acts the yearning of Depeche Mode, Human League, Heaven 17, New Order and Cabaret Voltaire.

Chicago, a four-hour cultivation away, simultaneously saw the section of House. The name is generally considered to be derived from "The Warehouse" where various DJ-Producers featured this new singing amalgam. House has its roots in 1970's disco and, unlike Techno, usually has some making of vocal. I think Giorgio Moroder's undertaking in the mid 70's with Donna Summer, especially the poetry 'I Feel Love', is pivotal in appreciating the 70's disco influences upon burgeoning Chicago House.

A many of variants and sub troop have developed since - crossing the Atlantic, reworked and back again - but in many spirit the popular success of these two soul forms revitalized the entire Electronic landscapes and its associated social culture. Techno and House helped to profoundly challenge mainstream and Alternative Rock as the preferred listening variety for a new generation: a meeting who has grown up with electronic singing and accepts it as a given. For them, it is music that has always been.

The history of electronic music continues to be written as technology advances and people's anticipation of where singing can go continues to push it forward, increasing its vocabularies and lexicon. https://kokania.com/product-category/electronics/

Real drama (like full 1h episodes)

Didn’t watch but my sister loved it

Jackson

It’s a show where they put celebrities in a house and you watch their everyday lives. Reality TV

Jackson & Bambam

Show where they go in the military and get training. It’s variety so its funny, but then it’s real military training so they work hard.

But it’s funny. Really.

What I Like About Them:

-          Their dance practices give me LIFE. They make different versions (like boyfriend version, normal version…). This is what first got me into them. 

-          The members are all so close. Like some other kpop groups, you sometimes question if the members are close, but with Got7 you can tell they genuinely care about each other in their own way.

-          Their dance skills are ON POINT yall… and the flying members

-          And don’t get me started on their visuals. They are all just freakin handsome and beautiful and sexy…

-          They make bomb ass music, they participate in writing lyrics/ making choreographies, they are EXTREMELY talented.

-          Very active: they post tons of photos and videos, go to so many variety shows, are always very entertaining. You can’t forget about them because they’re always everywhere, literally.
