I saw a video playing of females in white clothes playing violins in the electronic store?

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

they had instruments only and were very good, all women and sounded like trans siberian orchestra who are they?

Hi, from you description, it sounds like the group, Bond. Bond is an all-female quartet that plays updated classical (or classically-inspired) music. Talented musicians, and also quite beautiful.

Would anyone like a long joke?

What is a good instrument for an 8 year old to play?

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

He told me he wants to be a conductor when he grows up or a musician. He asks for a new instrument every year so far we have electronic drums, acoustic guitars,xylophone, standard drum set with cymbals and a keyboard and a recorder. This year he wants either a violin a trumpet or a clarinet what is the better choice? I will tell you that he currently only has lessons on the recorder and thats at school other than that he just fiddles with them.

What about a keyboard that can sound like other instruments at the touch of a button? That would give him a bit of a selection if he gets bored with the same sound after a short time.
I bought my eldest son a good keyboard about 6 years ago and he’s had more pleasure from that than almost anything else..he downloads sheet music from the computer ( there are quite a few free sites for this! ) and teaches himself how to play the songs in different instrument modes.
If your little boy has his mind set on one of these three instruments you mentioned, then I think the clarinet might be best. Apparently it’s a little bit simpler to play than the other two….but if he just fiddles around with the instruments, he might lose interest in a particular one!

Are there any songs like these?

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Does anyone know of any songs that are like "The Mass" by Era, "Ebla" by E.S. Posthumus, and Final Eclypse by V-Mitrox? Its somewhat electronic. I love pianos and violins too.

What happened to real music?

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Now, I don’t mean to be one of these questions that ask why music sucks. I was just curious as to why mainstream music "hits" and most of what is on the mainstream is starting to take a turn to electronic beats and all the instruments are computer based. Music like "poker face" by Lady Gaga and "Down" by Jay Sean ( I actually think this son would be more beautiful if you removed the beats and put in a piano and had an real orchestra play it..What do you think of this?) and Rhianna’s "Russian Roulette" is all drum beats. When will there be a real violin or trumpet in out music?

i’m thinking the same thing, rockabilly is the only true genuine music out there.

it’s actually disgusting what people these days listen to.. lady gaga is just stupid.

Proofreading help please!!!?

I just finished a paper i have to due for English. Basicly, what I had to do is write a one paragraph letter to my teacher telling her about one main thing about me. but i have to make it from an inanimate object!
she gave us an example where the letter was from her van, and the letter was about how she likes to travel.
So anyway, I was wondering if you guys could help me out with any mispellings, or stuff like that. Here’s the letter:

**By the way, I’m replacing my teachers name with Mrs. Smith. and my last name with Fink. and my birthday with something random**

Dear Mrs. Smith,

Hi! I’m Matt Fink’s iPod Touch. I’ve been with Matt since June 26th (His birthday) last year, and if you should know one thing about Matt, it’s that he loves music, and in many ways! He began his intrest in music in kindergargen, when he started playing violin, and now he plays many more instruments such as the bass guitar, and guitar! Another example of his love for music is me, his iPod! He has over 300 songs, and several music videos. But probably the most important thing about his passion for music is that he loves so many types of music! He enjoys rock, electronic, classical, and some hip-hop! So as you can see, music is a big part of Matt’s life, and I hope you get to know more about him as the year goes on!

Sincerely,
Matt’s iPod Touch

His interest in music began in kindergarten, when he started playing the violin, and now he plays many more instruments such as the bass guitar and the acoustic guitar! Another example of his love for music is me, his iPod! I look after over 300 of his songs and several music videos. But probably the most important thing about his passion for music is that he loves so many types of music! He enjoys rock, electronic, classical as well as some hip-hop! So, as you can see, music is a big part of Matt’s life, and I hope you get to know more about him as the year goes on!

How can I find a good synthesizer? or something to compose music with?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

To be honest I’m not really sure how to phrase this. I know the question isn’t worded quite right, but here’s what I’m trying to find out:

I want to play music (I’ve already written melodies, chords, and so on) but I only can play a few instruments. (mainly piano and violin) However, most songs you hear have a multitude of sounds, and on the radio, (depending on the station, I suppose) most of these sounds are electronic. I want to know how I can use these things to make a song with a variety of instruments, with a variety of sounds/ timbres. Any suggestions? I am drowning in confusion and I have no idea where to even start. Any kind of suggestion would be loved.

You need notation software. Go to www.makemusic,com, and for ten bucks, download Finale NOTEPAD. It will support quite q few staves – and when you want to trade up, you can – and all your files will open. If you want to go ALL the way – get FINALE – but do NOT get it from them – get it from www.academicsuperstore.com If you can prove in ANY way that you are a student or teacher, etc, – you get a huge discount. You can also investigate Sibelius – but they offer no significantly-discounted entry program – you just dive in. I sues them BOTH almost daily in my work.

Everything you compose will be saved – you can put in alternate tracks, mute ones you wish to hide so you can try others, etc. Good luck!

how do you handal this? 10 POINTS?

right now i’m 16 years old and i hate my home contry (wich is america by the way) take no offance america lovers i won’t list the things i hate cuzz if i did that would prevoke the peopul who do like america, no matter whair i go and no matter what i do i can never meet anyone who understands the culture i’m into, i’m into the japanese culture and i’ve ben doing evrything i can to live just like a japanese person here in america but thair are so menny things that are apart of the japanese culture that isin’t even in america. also i hate the american culture but i always get rebelled as being called "a deamon" or "evil" when i say anything about it. also my hole life i’ve ben thinking of moving to japan once i graduate from college but thair are menny things that are stoping me such as;

#1 i don’t have any way of lurning the japanese langwege exsept throw anime (in death note light says "shinigami" means "god of death" when he meets one or in XXXholic then watonuci’s frainds ask him "your name watanuci means ‘april fools day’ but isin’t that also your birthday?") that’s my only sorce of lurning the japanese langwge wich isin’t any help at all and i can’t find anything that helps me read write and talk in japanese

#2 i’m always traped in the house never to leave for anything but school, can’t hang out anywair, can’t viset anyone, can’t go to clubs, can’t wonder the city, can’t go for a walk, can’t look for any events. this really stops me from being able to look for anything that will help exspeshaly since when i look it up online the only websites that pop up are just stuff for vacation and music vidoes and thair’s nothing that tells you how to lurn the japanese langwege with no resorses and how you can plan out all your high school years and to plan out collge to forcefuly be alowed to moove to japan and be sesseful over thair.

i do evrything in my life acording to the japanese such as when i thank someone i bow to them, or i only wach anime this one isin’t a choice i wach anime cuzz i like them better then any other movies or shows not cuzz thair japanese and some anime are amiracan wich i still like. so when evryone gets talking about what thair faverot movie or show is my classmates always give awnsers like;
fredy VS jason
X-men
transformers
harry poter
scooby doo

my awnsers are always;

spirited away
naruto
duel monsters GX
the grate yokai war
full metal alchemist
XXXholic

then when evryone is asked to list games they like to play my classmate’s awnsers are always;

halo 3
metal gear
gitar hero
or something about vaperising alins and zombis

my awnsers are always;

radiata storys
dot hack
ultimite ninja
star ocain
kingdom hearts

and when we are asked about are favret food most of the peopul awnser pizza, burgers or chiken and i always awnser instent raman in a cup, shrimp and rice. also i read manga wich are made to read backwards and peopul complain at me on how i read books from right to left when they wer made that way if i get a book that reads left to right i will read it the correct way but, amost evry book i read are made to read from right to left and peopul complain about it. i have no acsess to anything that teaches about japanese history. i hate american music, music isin’t sapost to be about making loud electronech noises wail yelling as loud as you can repeating the same thing over and over. music is soppost to be an art about convying your emosains and each line is sopost to be different. i usewely wach japanese music vidioes with subtitles so i can understand the song and in all japanese song i’ve lisend to this one you’ll see by clicking on this website is the MOST electronic one i’ve heared http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYST7X3qd30

my favoret singers are kenn and bowl. bowl sounds like a 31 year old and he sings very sad songs and when he sings he’s voice ALWAYS sounds sad when he sings. kenn sounds and looks like a 17 year old he sings J-pop songs that are very cheerful songs that have a very fast beat the song in this site was his bigets hit it’s called "wake up your heart" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae-K5LK198U you can get the english translation by e-mailing me or by useing wikipidiea. and peopul get all predegist over me when i talk about this kind of music but they have no problem talking about that crapy heavy metal and rap. sorry but i like J-pop and violin music and i hate lisening to heavy metal and rap reason. heavy metal and rap singers don’t show any emosans in thair voice when singing exsept anger wich is the easiest and cheepest emosain and the music has no beat and no lessen in the lyrics. wair in J-pop the music has a beat such as the song i listed from earlyer it’s beat is the same as your heart beat when your running and the music i lisen to have lessens in thair lyrics. like in the song "endless dreams" the song talks about useing determenation and never giving up to reach your goals and give yourserlf mean

I have absolutely no idea what your actual question is, but I do hope that if you do move to Japan you will do more justice to spelling there than you’ve done here. No offense, truly, but if you expect to get to college in any country, you seriously need to put in a wee bit more effort and trust me, this is coming from a lady who really does not spell terribly well! Spell check is a lovely invention.

As for the rest, if you don’t like this country, no big deal, to each his own. You might want to look into becoming a foreign exchange student when you get to college. With any luck, you’ll end up able to stay, assuming you really like it as much as you think you do. Remember, though, a culture is more than movies and ramen in a cup. You’re really not going to understand it until you live there.

Good luck.
