Judgement Day: Heavy metal trio with strings

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:56:46 GMT

clipped by: Lexica

Young Americans have embraced metal as part of their rebellion sound tracks for decades. The Patzner brothers - violinist Anton, 28, and Lewis, 24, - have taken part in this legacy and pushed it a step further.

With their metal band, Judgement Day, they loudly rebel against the typical path set out for classically trained instrumentalists by turning their talents to this unorthodox musical genre.

The brothers, the spawn of two classical musicians, have been breathing music since birth.

In Judgement Day, Lewis' cello replaces the typical bass and Anton's violin fills in for lead guitar. The unholy trinity was completed when they added drummer Jon Bush.

at first, live performances incurred technical difficulties: "It was a challenge to get the strings to work, because they're hollow

They feedback really easily

Judgement Day melds a range of influences from Finland's four-cello metal band Apocalyptica to rockers Led Zeppelin and Tool to contemporary classical composers Béla Bartók and Arvo Pärt

Harry Gorodetzer, my first cello teacher

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 16:56:54 GMT

Clip Source: www.psychologytoday.com

As for my Philadelphia Orchestra dreams, things fared better for me. I started to take cello lessons with my Grandfather, Harry Gorodetzer, who was associate principle cellist of the Philadelphia Orchestra for 50 years (the record). After a month of daily lessons with gramps, I had joined my high school orchestra. I even beat the lowest cellist at the first seating auditions, an individual who had been playing for at least 5 years.

While I put in the same amount of intense practice in both basketball and cello, I struggled to stand out in basketball (don't get me wrong, I wasn't bad!), and learned cello with an ease that shocked everyone around me, including myself.

From these two experiences, I became convinced that people really do have certain proclivities, and while deliberate practice certainly matters, genes facilitate the rate of learning to a considerable degree.

Musical training sharpens the ability to sense emotions

The Sound of Passion

Musical training sharpens the ability to sense emotions.

study showed that years of musical training leave the brains of musicians better attuned to the emotional content, like anger, of vocal sounds

Ten years of cello, say, can make a person more emotionally intelligent, in some sense. So the alarm carried in a baby’s cry make a deeper impression; your spouse wins the race

The new work is part of an emerging portrait of the broader connections between music, emotion and speech. These studies are finding that musicians are more accurate in detecting emotion -- such as joy, sadness and anger -- in speech samples. The effect has been found even in children as young as 7 years old, with as little as one year of music training. It is a fascinating example of how experience in one domain (music) benefits another (emotion perception).

However, it is not until very recently, with the publication of the new study

that the biological foundation of the effect has been demonstrated

The Sleeping Years: Setting Fires to Sleepy Towns

Here we meet again on this lovely Monday afternoon.

I'm a big fan of acoustic folk bands from the UK....there's something about an unplugged guitar, a cello, and a British accent that really gets me. It won't surprise you then to find that The Sleeping Years, a folk group of out the UK, is one of my favorites.

Check out this rendition of "Setting Fires to Sleepy Towns," shot in a quaint little coffee shop. It will most certainly get you through your Monday, or at least give you five minutes of calm.

Under Byen: Mission

Under Byen, Danish for "Below the City," was founded in 1995. I would categorize the group as experimental folk; infused with violin, cello, and piano, the group has a seriously unique sound.

Their most recent album, Samme Stof Som Stoff (in English, Same Fabric as Fabric) comes highly recommended...a recommendation which I absolutely second...but today I thought I'd bring you this rendition of "Mission" which comes from their 2002 Album entitled Det Er Mig Der Holder Traeerne Sammen (translated, "It is Me Who Keeps the Trees Together"...lovely, right?)

Evolution of Human Consciousness, With Words, Music and Brain Imagery

Mon, 11 May 2009 21:24:13 GMT

clipped by: einbar
clipper's remarks: Self Comes To Mind is a collaboration between composer Bruce Adolphe and neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, known for his research and writing on the evolution of human consciousness.

"My view is that we evolved mind first, in a very broad sense," Damasio explains. "And eventually we also evolved the possibility of knowing that we have a mind. That is a process that begins with the construction of the self … and it is out of that which comes our sense of discovery — of our own existence, of our surroundings, and eventually of our own condition."

Evolution of Human Consciousness, With Words, Music and Brain Imagery

Just how the human brain works remains one of the greatest mysteries in science. In his program note Mr. Adolphe suggests that music itself may be an expression of our physical minds, though, he adds, composing is never a matter of musical illustration, but of finding “technical and expressive parallels to extra-musical ideas.”

Self Comes to Mind,” a 30-minute work for cello and two percussionists, with video imagery based on brain scans and with texts by Mr. Damasio. The piece had its premiere on Sunday night at the American Museum of Natural History

Mr. Adolphe asked Mr. Damasio to collaborate on a work that would combine text, music and imagery of brain activity to evoke the evolution of the human mind. Mr. Adolphe also recruited Yo-Yo Ma, an old friend from his Juilliard School days, for the collaboration

Cello ShotsJamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. in The Soloist.

By Dana Stevens

It seems awful to say this when Jamie Foxx worked so hard for this role—he even had his piano-key teeth chiseled to change their shape—but his generally fine performance as Ayers betrays moments of flashy Oscar-baiting, the kind of calculated uplift Ben Stiller satirized (with Robert Downey Jr.'s help) in Tropic Thunder. Playing our heartstrings like a busted violin, Foxx veers dangerously close to violating the acting law that Downey's character laid down in that movie: "Never go full retard."
