The Sacred Geometry Of Music The Sacred Geometry Of Music by Andrew Lorimer Music uses the laws of vibration to manifest aurally what exists at the center of everything. Into our reality springs a non-visual harmonic law that is universal. The notes and intervals of music speak directly to the chakra centers and causes them to vibrate in harmony to the vibration of a string or vocal chords, speakers moving through the air, or the sound of someone’s lips making a farting noise through a metal tube. Music uses the laws of physics and mathematics to bring out an emotional response in the listener. The music of the Western world uses a mathematical system based on Twelve. Clock Harmonisphere The mathematics of the harmonisphere are amazing. When we measure the same chords on the harmonisphere, the seven chords have the same mirrored combinations as the piano:
Music theory Music theory considers the practices and possibilities of music. It is generally derived from observation of how musicians and composers actually make music, but includes hypothetical speculation. Most commonly, the term describes the academic study and analysis of fundamental elements of music such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, and form, but also refers to descriptions, concepts, or beliefs related to music. Music theory is a subfield of musicology, which is itself a subfield within the overarching field of the arts and humanities. The development, preservation, and transmission of music theory may be found in oral and practical music-making traditions, musical instruments, and other artifacts. History of music theory[edit] Egyptian musicians playing lutes in an ensemble. The beginnings of music theory can be observed in extremely ancient instruments, artifacts, and later, depictions of performance in artworks. Set of bells from China. 5th Century BCE.

Patatap How to program 6 different jungle and drum ’n’ bass grooves The breakneck speed of drum ’n’ bass and jungle demand a very particular style of drum programming, but within that core framework, there's plenty of room for creative manoeuvre. Let's take a look at six established DnB MIDI drum patterns and explore the differences between them. You can learn more electronic drum programming techniques in the June edition of Future Music. Step 1: In comparison to many drum-machine-driven electronic styles, '90s jungle is synonymous with sliced and resequenced breakbeats sampled from funk records. Quite often, one or more breakbeats can be sequenced in tandem to create polyrhythmic effects. Step 2: Jungle’s evolution into drum ’n’ bass saw tempos rise to around 170bpm, and those breakbeat polyrhythms reduced to the essence of DnB: the two-step beat, whereby the second kick in a bar is pushed later in time to the eighth-note before the second snare, giving the groove a signature ‘stepping’ quality.
Introducing the New System Fonts - WWDC 2015 - Videos Download ANTONIO CAVEDONI: Hi, everyone. My name is Antonio Cavedoni. I am a member of the team who designed the new San Francisco fonts, and I am thrilled to be here to introduce them to you. So on the agenda today we are going to look at the San Francisco fonts, how they were designed, and what they mean for our platforms. We are going to look at some new features and how you can make your apps more awesome with them, both coding-wise and design-wise. And lastly, we are going to talk about some potential API pitfalls that you may run into when adopting these new fonts in your apps. So let's get started. But fonts also have a voice. You read fonts all the time, and you read them on different screens, on different devices, and at different point sizes. You also read them at different viewing conditions, such as light conditions or viewing distances or screen sizes and resolutions. In SF, they are round, and in SF Compact, they are actually slightly flat. Great.
Music Harnesses Emotion to Drive Evolutionary Behavior by Lori Chandler The various milestones of my life are best explained by the soundtrack I was rocking to at the time. In fact, my growth as a person can be documented in great detail by exactly what artist resonated with me at which juncture. Science has a number of different takes on what attracts us to certain melodies and chords, and why we need music at all. Neuroscience tells us why music is such an integral part of what makes us human. According to neuroscience, the article says, dancing can blur our sense of separateness. On the other hand, if you want to outsmart evolution's invisible hand, here's how: On a monetary level, that may be why we all swoon at the Sarah McLachlan "Angel" puppy commercials, or donate to charity concerts. We feel close to artists who talk about the world we live in, because through their music and lyrics we connect to the very group/society they are observing; they show us that we are all a part of the same thing.

Some Interesting Keyboards Some books about music refer to a persistent "myth" that it is possible, using only two keyboards, to construct an instrument on which it is possible to play music in any key using just intonation. Indeed, it is true that it is not possible, with only 24 keys to the octave, to construct an instrument that will play in perfect just intonation in every key. However, it is possible to exhibit an example of the type of keyboard that has given rise to this "myth", so that its capabilities, as well as its limitations, can be seen. Thus, what may be constructed with 24 keys to the octave is a keyboard which allows playing diatonic music in just intonation in any of the twelve conventionally designated keys, even if nothing can be ensured concerning the pitch of accidentals, and with the provision that one has to make a jump in pitch when one transposes around the far end of the circle of fifths. The most obvious design: This sequence is made up of these 22 ratios:
