Music on the Web By Student Example
About Me • My name is ********* • I grew up learning how to play the drums • I have some experience playing the piano/keyboard • My Dad was a bassist so I was exposed to Jazz and Blues often • Rap is my main musical interest
Eminem • Rapper From Detroit, Michigan • Controversy over topics of his music, heavily influenced by his troubled childhood • Recent release of MMLP2, sold 792,000 copies in its first week, Went Platinum in its second week • Songs: Infinite, Renegade, Toy Soldiers, Beautiful • I like his music because it is expressive and a release of emotion about his past. • http://www.eminem.com/
Logic • Rapper from Maryland • Signed with Visionary music Group at 17 • Music For Free • Welcome To Forever, Undeniable (Mix-tapes) • RattPack (Real All The Time) • Draws inspiration from Frank Sinatra • I like his music because his music ranges from upbeat to depressing • Baltimore Sun Article
Anonymuz • Rapper From South Florida • Mix-tapes include Q1, Q2, Q3, Abstract, Ascension X • Music For Free • Name from his lack of personal identity • Songs: Fall of Earth, Fall of Olympus, Destiny, Blown Away (Pt. 2) • I like his music because his lyrical skills are better than 90% of known rappers, and his beats are of a different style than anyone • Biography
Music Sites • Soundcloud – A site that anyone can upload music to. There are many free downloads and a lot of music from independent artists. It is great for finding new music to listen to. • DatPiff – A site that hip-hop/rap artists upload their mix-tapes to. Specialize with independent/underground artists. Usually mix-tapes are available for free download. • Grooveshark – A site where you can listen to music. Just about any song, at least from “known” artists. You are not able to download music from Grooveshark.
Irish Music • I like the use of string instruments besides guitar to create fast paced melodies. • Irish music is fast and upbeat. • Irish Music Magazine
Mongolian Throat Singing • Interesting expressive form of music • Uses the throat, which is different from the voice and is very uncommon • Throat Singing
African Tribal Music • The use of drums and percussion instruments is very interesting • I like the beat and feel that this music creates • Music of Africa
Creating Music with a computer • Soundation – A site where users can choose from hundreds of loops and samples to create music, and then publish it online. • MIDI – Musical Instrument Digital Interface • Image-Line – A private software company that created FL Studio, a popular music creation software. They also provide a wide range of plugins, loops, and samples for this program. • Soundcloud – A site where users can upload their music online for anyone to hear, and can make it available for download. For free, a user gets 2 Hours of total upload time.
Summary • This Web Quest helped me further explore creating music on the web. I will definitely be sure to check out Soundation, as it sounds like an interesting site that combines ease of use with the complications of computer music. I own FL Studio at home, and use it often, and will continue to do so as it is a very comprehensive software. Soundcloud will continue to be a site often frequented by me, because I enjoy finding music created by independent artists, and Soundcloud is perfect for this purpose.
