DECADES PROJECT - OVER TO YOU
Below is a table relating to the eight Decades Project lectures you've had this half term.
The titles link to Powerpoint
information and videos. In each box, please write:
1) ONE piece of information that relates to a purely musical or sonic aspect (eg. how a ninth chord is formed / what gated reverb is etc.)
2) Also write about ONE aspect that has a wider cultural, social or political context (eg. the relationship of funk rhythms to African music in the context of the 60s Civil Rights and Black Power movements.)
3) Finally, write about an aspect that can be compared or contrasted with a more recent equivalent (eg, the use of vocal runs in modern Pop and R&B compared to Stevie Wonder's use of melisma on Talking Book.)
Please download the table from the link below, add your answers and then post on your blog when you've finished.
