Celebrate | Slowfoot Records. This playful, freewheeling and energetic trio is comprised of three of Europe’s most in demand and respected jazz musicians. Joining Finn Peters on flutes and sax, we have the highly individual playing of Oren Marshall (Sons of Kemet) on tuba and Tom Skinner (Melt Yourself Down, Owiny Sigoma Band) on drums.

Both musicians have previously released records on Slowfoot, Skinner most recently under his Hello Skinny moniker, and both have collaborated extensively with Finn over the years, most notably on his critically acclaimed ‘Music Of The Mind’ project. In some respects The Grip is a reaction to the Music of the Mind project, that heavily featured live sampling, electronics and ‘…covered the stage with wires’. Wanting to bring the music down to earth again, this completely acoustic trio was born. The name "The Grip" is taken from the classic free jazz album by Arthur Blythe.

Have you discovered the smarter world of music production on a tablet? If not, it's time to start: with their mobility, touchscreens and range of music apps, today's tablets are capable of turning into digital audio workstations that previous generations of musicians could only dream of. "The flexibility is amazing," says Carphone Warehouse's tablet expert Leon Andrews.

"You can program in your own music and use the in-built synths to make that music into beautiful songs. You could knock out a tune on an hour's train ride, with drums, synthesisers, everything: some of the virtual instruments that come in these packages are amazing. " If you're going to be producing music on your tablet, Andrews suggests, choose one with a fast processor. Because digital studio apps condense a lot of musical information into a single screen, it's also important to have a great display.

Some composers still enjoy the amazing privilege of working with a live orchestra to record their work. Imagine having a 60-piece string orchestra just sitting in front of you, ready to play your latest composition. A full woodwind and brass section right there, waiting to do your bidding! So how do you create your musical ideas in such a way so that each part sounds perfectly tailor made and ‘just right’ for that instrument? How does the clarinet actually sound in a particular given octave range? Is this part going to be too low for the oboe? How can my cello part here best accompany that awesome sweeping violin theme tune I’ve just written?

And when do I bring in the french horns - how will that alter the overall ‘feel’ of the piece at this particular moment? Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and Shostakovitch First of all, it helps to remember that orchestral writing is a craft that dates back centuries. Then there’s the instruments themselves.

Technique : Composing / Arranging Like drum & bass and jungle before it, dubstep showcases the inventiveness of British urban music. We explain some of its fundamental production techniques, from ‘wobbly’ bass lines to half-time drum programming. Pete Jenkins New genres appear on an almost daily basis in electronic music, but few have had the impact of dubstep. From the grimy nightclubs of Croydon to mainstream radio airplay, via high-profile endorsement from acts as disparate as Snoop Dogg and Radiohead, its meteoric rise is unrivalled.

Labels like Tempa and Hyperdub laid the foundations with artists such as Horsepower Productions, Kode9, Skream, Benga and Burial. Technical Dubstep’s main characteristics lie in its rhythms, bass and dark sound, with heavy use of spatial atmospherics, low-end frequencies and swing.

Skaņu Mežs 2013 – dubstep veteran and bass music innovator Shackleton | Skaņu mežs. The musician Shackleton, originally from Lancashire but currently residing in Berlin, will perform during Skaņu Mežs rhythm music night in the concert hall Palladium on October 11. Shackleton first became known as one of the pioneers of dubstep, but in the last few years has caught the attention of the dance music world by experimenting with more unusual forms of bass music.

Sam Shackleton, or just Shackleton as he is known, founded the record label Skull Disco together with colleague Appleblim. This label was for many years an indespensible part of the dubstep scene. Skull Candy also released Shackleton’s own records in which the development of his own music from more minimal techno, influenced by the project Muslimgauze, to music influenced by dub and more contemporary dubstep forms, is clearly visible. The magazine Resident Advisor writes writes about his music thus: “Shackleton’s loopy drum programming and ink-stained bass [...] are pushed to psychedelic extremes.

The Guide To Sound Effects | Epic Sound. I like to think of such sounds as having two general components: a ‘defining’ one, and an ‘impact’ one. The defining one is what sounds up front and tells the listener what the sound is, especially if combined with picture. The impact one can be anything at all, designed only to pump up the sound to hyper-real. For defining sounds, simply record what things really are: For a face slap for example, record a real slap, hand clap, slap on thigh, etc. For a body kick, record a fist on chest thud, etc. For impact sounds, anything goes. Other purely impact sounds: kick drum, fist-pound on closet door (tapered), car door slam (tapered), kicked or stick-hit cardboard box, leather belt snap, whip crack, etc.

In my opinion, especially what I’m loosely calling the “impact” component can and often should be gain-maximized and mixed with the “defining” so that the defining is still the part that gives the information as to what the sound is. - Clint Bajakian.
