Earn It Yourself. We are hyena. indie-electro. official hyena site. New Music Incubator. The Music Incubator | MeFi Music. , a place to incubate your musical ideas until you're ready to go public with them. A few of the challenges (aka features) of music.mefi are that -- 1. Any song you post is de facto public. Not only to everyone here, but the whole wide world of the internets 2. 3. So I created the Music Incubator. 'Closed' means only members can see what you post. Yes, it's Facebook, but feel free to create a single-purpose FB account under you Mefi handle if you don't want Zuckerberg peering through your window. This is not specifically a mefi resource - I'll be inviting other non-mefi musicians I know and trust and I invite you to do the same.
The purpose of this is not to supplant music.mefi in any way but to open up and support the front end of the creative process. In terms of posting music to FB, I've found Soundcloud the best option. Electromagnetically-Prepared Piano. Rosicrucianism. Rosicrucianism is a philosophical secret society said[1] to have been founded in late medieval Germany by Christian Rosenkreuz. It holds a doctrine or theology "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm. "[2] Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross. Between 1607 and 1616, two anonymous manifestos were published, first in Germany and later throughout Europe.[3] These were the Fama Fraternitatis RC (The Fame of the Brotherhood of RC) and the Confessio Fraternitatis (The Confession of the Brotherhood of RC).
The influence of these documents, presenting a "most laudable Order" of mystic-philosopher-doctors and promoting a "Universal Reformation of Mankind", gave rise to an enthusiasm called by its historian Dame Frances Yates the "Rosicrucian Enlightenment".[4] Origins[edit] Reception[edit] Some[who?]
The Rosicrucian Enlightenment[edit] Modern groups[edit] Erik Satie. Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (French: [eʁik sati]; 17 May 1866 – 1 July 1925) — he signed his name Erik Satie after 1884 — was a French composer and pianist. Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.[1] An eccentric, Satie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies.
Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures sounds") preferring this designation to that of a "musician", after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician" in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.[2] Early life and training[edit] Satie house and museum in Honfleur, Normandy Satie was the son of Alfred Satie and his wife Jane Leslie (née Anton), who was born in London to Scottish parents.
Career[edit] Montmartre[edit] Move to Arcueil[edit] Gymnopédies (Satie) The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie. Music[edit] These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopédies are regarded as an important precursor to modern ambient music[1] — gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition.
[citation needed] For instance, the first few bars of Gymnopédie No. 1 consist of an alternating progression of two major seventh chords, the first on the subdominant, G, and the second on the tonic, D. The melodies of the pieces use deliberate, but mild, dissonances against the harmony, producing a piquant, melancholy effect that matches the performance instructions, which are to play each piece "painfully", "sadly" or "gravely".[2] Poetry[edit] The work was possibly based upon the poetry of J.P. Satie gymnopaedist[edit] Orchestrations by Claude Debussy[edit] Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise (album review)
Review Summary: Space Is Only Noise: A 2011 Odyssey. 10 of 11 thought this review was well written Outer space, a vast black sea; the idea of it tantalizes the comfortable complacency in which we all reside. It is so massive that the physicists of our world can only speculate as to how large the universe actually is.
Some believe it spans forever, an infinite amount of dust and darkness. Others say it is about 150 billion light years across. The endless fields of space are home to an unimaginable mental dissonance. “Space Is Only Noise” is a transmission from afar; shrouded by dark matter. Nicolas Jaar’s electronic noises evoke feelings that reach our core. Coming Soon. Rising: Nicolas Jaar. Nicolas Jaar: "I Got a Woman" Nicolas Jaar is a New York-based 21-year-old who does a lot of things that young dance producers do-- plays shows in clubs around the world, remixes dance artists, runs a small record label called Clown and Sunset-- but he doesn't really make dance music.
Born to artistic parents, Jaar listened to everything from minimal techno producer Ricardo Villalobos to hip-hop mastermind Madlib to Portuguese fado music, Ethiopian jazz, and Pink Floyd while growing up in Chile and NYC. And on debut full-length Space Is Only Noise, coming February 14 on Circus Company, he works a lush, meditative style that depends more on silence than on beats-- check out highlight "I Got a Woman" above for proof.
Pianos, guitars, and voices blur into electronics, all of it melting into a soft, drifting haze somewhere between Air and Portishead. It's a deeply relaxing, satisfying piece of work from someone seemingly way too young to be making music this mature. NJ: No. NJ: It's funny. Jeff Mangum Composes Score for Apples in Stereo Frontman Schneider's Mind-Controlled Instrument. Photo by Will Westbrook Back in September, we reported the (literally) mind-boggling news that Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider had invented a new instrument, the Teletron, that you basically play with your mind. (Or, in Schneider's own words, it's "a circuit-bent Mattel MindFlex toy that enables you to play a Moog synthesizer by varying your thoughts. ") Last week, Schneider debuted an original Teletron composition written by Neutral Milk Hotel mastermind and notable recluse Jeff Mangum.
(Thanks to James Hindle for the tip.) In a statement, Schneider explained that he and noise musician Robert Beatty (Hair Police, Three Legged Race, Ulysses) performed Mangum's Teletron piece with Duke University's Dr. Marc Sommer during Dr. Sommer's neuroscience class last week. "A Teletron score is a collage-like sequence of opposing pages, where the right page speaks to the left side of the brain, which is more logical, and the left page speaks to the right brain, the intuitive side. Pinback. Hundred Year Storm. The Shanghai Restoration Project. Downtown Music. Songtrust | Home. Jimmy LaValle - Musician/Band. THE ALBUM LEAF - www.thealbumleaf.com. The Album Leaf is the solo project of Jimmy LaValle, a San Diego-based songwriter who began recording solo material one year after forming the post-rock band Tristeza. Inspired by a number of genres -- classical, jazz, and post-rock among them -- LaValle constructed his own songs in a similarly eclectic manner, utilizing everything from ambient noise to field recordings to radio transmissions.
An Orchestrated Rise to Fall introduced the resulting sound in 1999. An EP (In an Off White Room) preceded the release of LaValle's second full-length album, One Day I'll Be on Time, which was released by Tiger Style in March 2001. The Album Leaf's profile blossomed as a result of those recordings, and LaValle found himself opening shows for Sigur RÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂós' first American tour that fall.
The Seal Beach EP, originally issued in 2003 in Spain, appeared stateside in early 2005, and LaValle's next album, Into the Blue Again, followed in September 2006. BEAT7.COM.

The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, produced 1980–1984 Origins[edit] Use and importance[edit] As more realistic and tubular drum computers appeared, the TR-808 was discontinued and it became easy to buy a used machine for a low price. Its availability led to a second life as a cheap source of rhythm for hip hop artists in the mid 1980s. The Beastie Boys breakout album Licensed to Ill consists mostly of hip hop rhymes backed by the characteristic TR-808 beats and samples from popular rock songs; its success led to a new surge in popularity.

Nitin Sawhney. Nublu. MV Bill. MV Bill, real name Alex Pereira Barbosa, is a Brazilian rap singer and co-author of the best-selling book Falcão - Meninos do Tráfico.
The initials "MV" stand for "Mensageiro da Verdade", Portuguese for "Messenger of Truth". MV Bill is one of the leading and most controversial rappers of Brazilian hip hop in Rio de Janeiro. Rio remains as the center of developing Brazilian politics.[1] MV Bill is an advocate for getting the Brazilian youth out of the drug trade and into some other forms of self uplift, so he began a network of NGOs located in Rio, which strive to teach hip-hop skills, graffiti, and break dancing to children, alongside educational classes such as computer training.
Many of his songs contain lyrics discussing the Brazilian youth lost to the trades and confrontations in Rio. MV Bill has also funneled his passion for social justice into a book, Cabeça de Porco, that he co-authored with Celso Athayde and Luis Eduardo Soares, one of Brazil's foremost social anthropologists.
