8 Hour Old School Hip-Hop Mix (90's and 80's Rap Playlist by ERIC THE TUTOR) - MATHCLA$$MUSIC MIX V1 THE PLAYLIST: MASOCHISTIC PIANISTS Satanic climaxes, perilous fireworks, duelling fencers: there's nothing quite so seductive to piano students as a nearly unplayable piece of music. Irving Wardle finds some models on iTunes ... From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Summer 2009 Piano students tend to be difficulty snobs for whom nothing is worth playing unless it’s unplayable. It’s a thrill akin to bull-fighting to look down at a page of Liszt and then observe some reckless newcomer or leathery old slogger heading into the minefield of double-flats, octave marathons, multiple time-signatures, and copious droppings of demisemiquaver fly-shit. If some music arises from this collision, so much the better, as in the following gladiatorial items. LIGETI: ETUDES Pierre-Laurent Aimard (Sony Classical 1996)Proceed to Track XIII, “L’escalier du diable”, and surrender to those deadly feet coming up the ladder again and again until they reach the top with a satanic climax which ebbs away into the longest dying fall in piano literature.

Comments Arguably the most articulate human being the world has seen. He shares a very important message, while doing so in a way that provokes both our inner thought processes and a hidden love for poetry. Good man! Great message! Sri Pavan Sunnam Fantastic message which ended with an open question to us. Dallas Mack Not true. Aida Cerina I do the internet but only to get even more inspiration from people like you. Brian Mullins The solution to all these paradoxes is Jesus Christ. Jeremy Daniel Too much focus on opposing themes to clearly state his message. Apoorva Abhinav Technology has killed everything. Alexander Moss Wow he must be so wise, all those opposing metaphors and quoting the Daila Lama as well as Einstein! Tenzin La People have the tendency to 'pay attention' to the 0.01%.

Cazzette Talk the EDM Movement, Finding Artistic Freedom and their Upcoming EP [TMN Exclusive Interview + BTS Video Premiere] Cazzette Together (Till The Morning) Feat. Newtimers I can still remember vividly hearing my first Skrillex song in a hazy dorm room about five years ago–it was around the same time that “EDM,” to some people’s chagrin, became an unstoppable force in mainstream music. For the college kids of that generation, like myself, it was an exciting moment hearing a completely new genre of mind-altering compositions. While frantically looking for all the EDM I could find, I stumbled across a Swedish duo by the name of Cazzette, who created an enormous dubstep remix of one of my favorite songs at the time, “Monster” by Kanye West. As Cazzette rose to popularity, they signed with legendary manager Ash Pournouri, who’s best known for helping launch Avicii‘s career, and ended up supporting Avicii on his world tour when “Levels” was making him a household name. Alex: So for me, I’ve always been around music. TMN: When you guys first linked up, it was online, right? Alex: Yeah, it was very different.

Top 5 Sites For Learning Piano Online For some reason, whenever you search for anything free online, you are inundated with sites created solely for collecting email addresses or for selling a product. This is especially true when it comes to sites on the Internet that offer free piano lessons. Unfortunately, almost 90 percent of the websites with “free piano lessons” in the title only offer one or two very basic lessons.

The Painful Truth About Filmmaking No One Tells You When You're Just Starting Out YouTuber and independent filmmaker Darious Britt is back, this time with some hard truths about independent filmmaking that are sure to be painful to hear for anybody just starting with making their own films. Despite the bleak outlook, this video is one of the most inspiring things you'll see this week. Take a look. The painful truth is this: filmmaking -- particularly the independent variety -- is an uphill battle, and that's putting it mildly. For most of us, every step along the way will be fraught with unforeseen obstacles, most of which we won't have the proper time, money, or physical resources to solve. However, many of them are far more debilitating, especially from a psychological perspective. On top of all that, the business of independent filmmaking is perilous -- cutthroat even. Where's the upside in all of this doom and gloom, you ask? All of this is to say that if film is your passion, you can make it happen.

The $200 Los Angeles Bike Ride Music Video This is a Guest Post by Nick Roberts of “And the Giraffe” A short introduction about myself: My name is Nick Roberts and I play in a band called “And the Giraffe” based out of Nashville, TN. A few months ago, after putting out our second album, we decided to shoot a music video to support the single from the record. A friend of mine, Harrison Sanborn, lives and works out of Los Angeles and has been our go-to director/cinematographer for our music videos in the past, so there wasn’t any question that we were going to work with him for this project as well. Given that we’re an independent band, our budgets for just about all creative projects may as well look like we found loose change in our couch. We had about $200-$250 to spend on making a music video when we went out to visit Harrison in LA for a week, and we definitely put it to good use. We shot the video with a Black Magic Design cinema camera, a recent purchase by our friend/director. And The Giraffe – Sorry
