Have you heard the latest in music? If not, then remember the name Skrillex. Sonny Moore is the mastermind producer and performer behind Skrillex. He is a one man superstar of the new American electronica called dubstep. He grew up in Los Angeles, where Sonny met many artists and was influenced by everything from the Prodigy to Marilyn Manson, Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails. Skrillex is part of a new breed of artists that refuse to be limited by labels like ‘musician’ or the notion that they are part of a genre. Skrillex says he is not really any one style, although his style is a mix of dubstep, electronica and glitch all mixed into one. If you do not know what any of those words mean, they you may have some catching up to do. Skrillex is already hugely successful, he has no record label, no rock music company backing him or anything like a studio. Yet his 9 song EP SKRILLEX has had 8 songs hit the top 10 charts. Everyone is now asking Skrillex to be their remix mastering man. Check Skrillex out before the world ends, it’s the future of music as we know it.

Quoting More Than A Single Note About Music

Information about music and new artists, just like everything else in our fast-paced society, is continually changing and morphing, creating a fluid stream in which the casual onlooker and listener is unsure of where to jump in. Television, the Internet, and magazines are the best guides to what is happening in the local and global music scene. Still, it is difficult to keep pace with all the new band names, the latest shows, and when new records are being dropped. In other words, why even bother trying to keep up with all the changes and fads in music? Music is subjective. You know what bands and artist you like, therefore you will always know when they are planning new albums or touring in your area.

Music is something that is passed along amongst friends. This is where the greatest music knowledge comes from. Your peers are going to be into all styles and types of music, and perhaps from them you will be introduced to new bands. It is better to listen to what your friends are into than to pretend to like what is on the radio. Sometimes quoting more than a single note about music is hard work.More info here: Stereotypes in music

Knowledge On The Newest Music Technologies

admin — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

In the current age of the music-industry, the desire to sound different from the crowd has created an increasing need for new technology and sounds. Not only are new instrument variations — the electric violin or hollow-bodied electric guitars come to mind immediately — sprouting up constantly, but so are the tools used to modify the sounds and frequencies of these instruments. Even the simplest of tools like the amplifier is being modified in eclectic and unusual ways to add traditional effects like reverb and more complex effects like amp overload or phasers– this job was originally reserved for effects pedals or post-recording processors.

Even more unusual is emergence of the sound processor that requires no sound. New “touch pad” synths and drum machines absolutely flood the music scene in emerging experimental genres such as “dubstep” or “industrial”. These same technologies are also being employed within the editing room to mix tracks together seamlessly without the slightest amount of sound-wave distortion.

When all of the different stages of productions mesh together the increasing amounts of technology, final tracks and entire albums begin to set themselves apart from the rest of the musical crowd– gaining popularity and quickly flying through the charts of culturally-accepted masterpieces.
