Complete.pdf. Eric Clapton – Unplugged | 12bar Blues Guitar. “Eric Clapton was ‘unplugged’ in more ways than one at that performance. There, in front of a large studio audience – and later an enormous MTV and record-buying audience – an artist who is know to be very shy dealt with the most painful experience anyone could ever imagine – the tragic loss of his son, Conor.” - Alex Coletti, Producer of MTV’s Unplugged In February 1993 Clapton won six Grammy Awards for his 1992 released album “Unplugged”. Recorded live in January 1992 in the English Bray Studios, London, he showed his ability to play acoustic Blues with great intensity. Many “MTV unplugged” performances from other artists showed nothing new – they just played an acoustic guitar instead of an electric. EC’s performance was different. During this session he played some songs which didn’t make it on the album , but Since Unplugged EC included an “acoustic set” in every tour.

Spotify :: Year in Music 2014. This is What it Sounds Like When You Put Tree Rings on a Record Player. This is an excerpt from the record Years, created by Bartholomäus Traubeck, which features seven recordings from different Austrian trees including Oak, Maple, Walnut, and Beech. What you are hearing is an Ash tree’s year ring data. Every tree sounds vastly unique due to varying characteristics of the rings, such as strength, thickness and rate of growth.

Keep in mind that the tree rings are being translated into the language of music, rather than sounding musical in and of themselves. Traubeck’s one-of-a-kind record player uses a PlayStation Eye Camera and a stepper motor attached to its control arm. It relays the data to a computer with a program called Ableton Live. Hats off to Traubeck for coming up with the ingenious method to turn a simple slice of wood into a beautiful unique arraignment.

Your Weekly Earworm: Far From Any Road | WVPublic. There is no defense against an earworm. Even if the tune drives you mad (Call Me Maybe) and/or the lyrics are insipid (Blurred Lines) or the artist has no discernible talent (Miley-Bieber-et al), earworms are something to which you must surrender. You'll be a lot happier acknowledging the sheer ear candy's appeal than wearing your music snob-critic mask of misery. Fortunately, there are good earworms. Enter The Handsome Family's Far From Any Road. This rumba-Tex-Mex song graces the opening of HBO's True Detective and delivers a true, foreboding desert chill: From the dusty mesaHer looming shadow growsHidden in the branchesOf the poison creosote She twines her spines up slowlyTowards the boiling sunAnd when I touched her skinMy fingers ran with blood My main complaint about modern songwriting is the paucity of good lyrics.

However, the music is the perfect frame for these Keatsian words. My ever-so-short email interview with Rennie Sparks: 1. A perfect song in every way. The Eleven Best Metal Songs About Literature. For Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday, I wrote a piece about the band Uriah Heep, the only decent rock band to ever name themselves after a Dickens character. Their first album also referenced the David Copperfield antagonist in its title, Very ‘eavy… Very ‘umble. It was panned in Rolling Stone with the hook “If this group makes it I’ll have to commit suicide.” Reading up on Uriah Heep, I was reminded that I can’t stand literary elitism in music criticism. In literary criticism, fine. That’s what your English degree is for. But I don’t need to see anyone else fawn over the Decemberists for crooning about Myla Goldberg, and then dismiss Iron Maiden for being pompous. 1.

Anthrax are responsible for more Stephen King adaptations than Frank Darabont, but they never hit it better than on their tribute to Randall Flagg from The Stand. 2. The title track from C.O.C.’s mid-’90s rager took its name from another brutal portrayal of the decrepit American South. 3. 4. 5. What can I say? 6. 7-8. 9. Listen to the Oldest Song in the World: A Sumerian Hymn Written 3,400 Years Ago. In the early 1950s, archaeologists unearthed several clay tablets from the 14th century B.C.E.. Found, WFMU tells us, “in the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit,” these tablets “contained cuneiform signs in the hurrian language," which turned out to be the oldest known piece of music ever discovered, a 3,400 year-old cult hymn. Anne Draffkorn Kilmer, professor of Assyriology at the University of California, produced the interpretation above in 1972.

(She describes how she arrived at the musical notation—in some technical detail—in this interview.) Since her initial publications in the 60s on the ancient Sumerian tablets and the musical theory found within, other scholars of the ancient world have published their own versions. The piece, writes Richard Fink in a 1988 Archeologia Musicalis article, confirms a theory that “the 7-note diatonic scale as well as harmony existed 3,400 years ago.” Via WFMU Would you like to support the mission of Open Culture?

Mastodon were not particularly young dudes when they formed in Atlanta back in ’99. They were in their mid-to-late 20s, and already had their musicianship, as individuals, absolutely down. Their jackhammered instrumentation, from the light-speed riffs on 2002 debut Remission to the sprawl of 2009′s Crack the Skye, remains their signature characteristic. After all, the YouTube search “mastodon oblivion guitar cover” returns something like 10,700 results (well, including the wusses who skipped the guitar solos). That kind of appeal — which they share with virtually every iconic metal band ever — has undoubtedly brought in a shitload of revenue for Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend, Mom & Pop’s Guitar-O-Rama, et al.

Still, a decade and a half after their start, their sound continues to deepen all around, with an increasing emphasis on personal themes following the more elaborate concepts and recurrences of their 2000s output (Moby-Dick!
