In the song " this is america" there was a pattern of the way this was set up. meaning you can hear the tempo change back and forth to different ways, also with the rhythm and dynamics. The sound of the song never stood the same. The song began with a slow tempo then it would speed up then going back to a slow tempo. At 0:52 it went from a very happy sound to a very loud but very serious sound. You can say it went from major key to minor key real quick. At 1;57 the dynamics of the song went to a serious tone but that serious loud type of tone. The rhythm of the song basically broke into two main rhythms. in the begging of the song to 0:52 there was that happy sound, that rhythm stays the same when it comes back later in the song. from 0:52-1:24 that is the other main common rhythm that plays through out the song. right after that point the rhythm has a slightly change, you can noticed a new beat is added to that rhythm. At 1:42 the rhythm of the song goes back to that happy sound, the tempo is back to that slow tempo and dynamics is back to mayor key. looking at the piano sheet you can see from measure 1-28 the key is F major and changes to D minor when it hits to 29-51. extra creditIn the video there is many actions that are being acted out and symbols that are being shown. Overall all these actions and symbols all represent either African american culture or gun violence. The sing begins with a happy tone as if the song was going to be a happy song. Then you see Gambino shooting a man in the head changing the whole tone of the song. Gambino shoots the man and the a man from behind comes with a red rag taking the gun away from Gambino and carefully putting it away while the man who was shot is drag away from the scene. That show how gun are handle with care while people are not. Second Gambino is making the Jim crow pose representing African american culture. third you can see all the violence going on the back. you see riots, fights, shootings and people fighting with the police. But you only see that if your not distracted by the people dancing in the front. They are dancing and hitting all the new dances that are trending. That symbolize how people now in our society ignore the wrong that happening in the world with the new trends in life. Fourth, more into the video you will see a choir in the back singing then Gambino with an assault rifle and shoots at them. That represents all the mass shooting that been going on in the world. lastly Gambino is running in the end of the video, it seem like he running away from the people who are chasing him. That represents him running from his problems, running from society.

Starting off with the basics, DAW takes a big part of MIDI. DAW stands for digital audio workstation but it is a type of technology that can record, store, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signal that have been encoded in digital form. MIDI stands for musical instrument digital interface but it is basically a language that let computers, musical instruments and hardware to communicate. So here is how they relate, they rely on each other in some way. For instance, MIDI connects to the DAW so you can be able to make audio a bit more easier. DAW is were you record the audio and see the sound waves that the audio makes and the MIDI keyboard is the data that can be easily edit and movable. Both together can be very useful to make audio sounds, like songs, when having both because they make it much more easier. Music artist uses this type of technology to male their music.
An Electrifying Acoustic Guitar Performance
But is this music? why or why not? I feel like this is music but it goes more into sound due to the fact that it was all instrument that was being played. There was no lyrics to this song, it was nothing the sound. Sounds are included in music but there is more then sound, their is vocal. Although it does say that music is "An art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color." I feel like that is just a certain type of music. There is dozen of types of music genres in the music industry. When a song has just beat , it is still music just a different type. Singing the Primal Mystery But is this music? why or why not? In this video you seen her read these words that had lines on top of them. Each color and line had a different tone and meaning. In the beginning so was singing opera music, so i thought it was opera music that was going to be sang through the video. My thoughts were wrong she started to sing out these words and line that were on a paper. She making sound with her mouth, and the drawing in the back. You have to be creative, you choose your own temple and what genre you'll sing. There is no lyrics and it was really short. I feel like this was not music but yet more a different way to get creative on making sounds. Tion composed by Mark Applebaum But is this music? why or why not? In this video it was completely something I wouldn't expect, There was no sound at all! Not one beep come from none of those 3 men mouths or they didn't make any sound. But in stead they were moving their bodies in a certain way, they were following a music sheet. So how can you follow a music sheet and no sound or words and coming/ playing out? I find this hard to think if it is music or not, I think is it not because the definition of music is when sound or vocal or combined is being plpayed in a way were it makes people feel some type of way. here is was just gesture so im not sure on if it was music or not. What is music?
