The objective perspective is the idea of getting an unbiased perspective from someone who isn’t as close to your situation as you are. The objective perspective has many uses in music. We’ve all had problems with our significant others–if you go talk to a friend about it, you might gain a newfound sense of clarity on the situation. Even if they just reaffirm what you already think, sometimes you just need to hear from someone else. The same goes with your music: You may have gotten so deep into a project and worked so hard on it that you’ve become insensitive to the finer details. Songwriting - Record producers do a lot of rehearsing with musicians.
The simplest viewpoint a producer can bring to the situation is as a new ear that wasn’t around for the entire songwriting process. Whose Opinion Do You Listen To? Your Songs - Friends will often give you their opinions on your songs. If agendas aren’t enough, some people are incapable of having their own opinions.

Google Inc. has landed licensing deals with Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group to introduce an on-demand music streaming service that would compete with Spotify, Rhapsody and others, according to executives knowledgeable with the contracts. Warner Music Group was the first major record company to sign on to Google's proposed music service in March. Now, with all three major labels agreeing to license their catalogs to Google, the Mountain View, Calif., technology giant is set to launch its service as soon as this week, sources said. The addition of Sony and Universal was first reported by The Verge . The new service will be offered by Google Play, the online marketplace that also sells Android apps, games and other digital media, including books, movies, music and magazine subscriptions. For companies building media platforms such as Google, having a music service is important to offering a one-stop destination for entertainment and information.
De-Loused in the Discography: A Look Back at the Mars Volta. The Curse that Flew Right by You... Of all the progressive rock groups that have come and/or gone over the last several decades, few—if any—have been as idiosyncratic and audacious as the Mars Volta. Formed out of the ashes of post-hardcore Texan outfit At the Drive-In (whose other three members went on to form indie rock band Sparta) by guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala in 2001, the ensemble continuously broken boundaries, challenged expectations, and blew minds with their blend of power, intricacy, conceptuality, catchiness, and eccentricity. Full of arresting counterpoints, relentless complexity, entrancing melodies, and wildly imaginative (if also incoherent) imagery, their work was unique, prophetic, and downright addictive. In light of their recent disbandment, PopMatters’ Jordan Blum and Brice Ezell have decided to look back on the Mars Volta’s studio output in commemoration of their illustrious career.

Super music bros: 'World 1-2' is an all-star collection of gaming's best musicians. "I'm just a video game music fanboy from Kuwait," Mohammed Taher tells The Verge.
"This wasn't planned. " But despite the humble attitude, Taher has managed to create something special in the form of World 1-2, an upcoming album featuring some of the biggest names in video game music. There's everyone from the Grammy-nominated Austin Wintory, composer of Journey, to Manami Matsumae, who scored the very first Mega Man back in 1987. It's a diverse lineup, spanning multiple styles and eras, but with one unifying theme: video games. "A lot of people think video games are just chiptunes," Taher explains, and World 1-2 is a way of showing just how much more the medium has to offer. "A lot of people think video games are just chiptunes.
" It all started with a podcast. But the biggest breakthrough came later, when Taher decided to reach out via Twitter — and an interpreter — to renowned video game musician Akira Yamaoka, best known for his work on the Silent Hill series of horror games.

A Working Day: An Interview with Ben Folds. Ben Folds is a singer-songwriter, and in many ways is sort of a bridge between the first generation who bore the title from decades ago by virtue of his innate knack for killer pop hooks and contemporary music fans who value a quick wit as part of the big picture.
Folds, a celebrated lyricist, took time out of his busy schedule to chat with PopMatters about Lonely Avenue, a collaboration between himself and author Nick Hornby. This unique album saw Folds write music around the e-mailed lyrics of Hornby. The end result—which took 18 months from conception to completion—is terrific pop music, with the co-conspirators’ fondness for cleverness very much at the fore.
Folds, a supremely gregarious interviewee, talked about how the album came together, what fans who come to the shows might expect to see and hear, and some of the other musical endeavors on his very full dance card. I’ve had a number of listens to the album, and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you. “Enjoyed” past-tense. Mike Watt. Ben Folds Goes A Cappella, With Help. Alex Day Sells Half A Million Songs By Breaking All The 'Rules'
Well, what do we have here? Another artist operating outside the constraints of the recording industry and yet, against all odds, making money? Probably too good to be true. He's built a huge following on known pirate site YouTube and his first two royalty checks totaled over $200,000, but the question remains: how can Alex Day make money with such a wrong-headed approach? The Tunecore blog gets to the bottom of this Alex Day sensation. In a day and age where no one can sell music, Day is doing exactly that. Alex Day, a 23 year-old musician from Essex, England is focused on releasing music that puts listeners in a good mood. How does he do it? First rule broken?

No One Takes YouTube "Artists" Seriously Well I have Twitter and Facebook pages like everyone else in the world, but really it is just YouTube. Alex Day. Deconstructing Alex Day's Success. I’ve recently become intrigued with DIY, Youtube sensation Alex Day. Coverage of his ongoing artistic success has been popping up here and there for the last year and I finally sat down to review and digest the different possible factors that have led to his success in hopes of revealing a path I may be able to co opt for my own musical efforts. Day had an online following before he started making music, which is part of the key to his success. Most to all bands start out having very little to no fans which by having some kind of audience is where he got the initial boost.
Some musicians can substitute their friends and family for an initial fan base, but it can still be difficult to obtain the same momentum doing so. Day distributed his music primarily on iTunes and YouTube (at first) and by doing so he kept his music from being on every Tom, Dick, and Harry music website out there which helped legitimize him. I believe that Day’s greatest strength is his charisma. The 360 Deal by Andrew Dubber.

No, a Computer Wrote It. IN a low-key, musical version of the match between Garry Kasparov and the chess-playing machine called Deep Blue, a musician at the University of Oregon competed last month with a computer to compose music in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Steve Larson, who teaches music theory at the university, listened anxiously while his wife, the pianist Winifred Kerner, performed three entries in the contest -- one by Bach, one by Dr. Larson and one by a computer program called EMI, or Experiments in Musical Intelligence. Dr. Larson was hurt when the audience concluded that his piece -- a simple, engaging form called a two-part invention -- was written by the computer. But he felt somewhat mollified when the listeners went on to decide that the invention composed by EMI (pronounced ''Emmy'') was genuine Bach. ''Bach is absolutely one of my favorite composers,'' Dr. ''EMI forces us to look at great works of art and wonder where they came from and how deep they really are,'' he said. I analyzed the chords of 1300 popular songs for patterns. This is what I found. | Blog – Hooktheory.
For many people, listening to music elicits such an emotional response that the idea of dredging it for statistics and structure can seem odd or even misguided. But knowing these patterns can give one a deeper more fundamental sense for how music works; for me this makes listening to music a lot more interesting. Of course, if you play an instrument or want to write songs, being aware of these things is obviously of great practical importance. In this article, we’ll look at the statistics gathered from 1300 choruses, verses, etc. of popular songs to discover the answer to a few basic questions. First we’ll look at the relative popularity of different chords based on the frequency that they appear in the chord progressions of popular music.
