The Rough Guide to the Music of Vietnam

The Rough Guide to the Music of Vietnam Review



On the Rough Guide musical tour of the world, next stop is Vietnam! And as usual they've excelled in offering a CD full of great music that's evocatively representative, widely ranging, and eminently listenable. From contemporary pop songs to time-honored folk lyrics, from popularly traditional melodies to globally-influenced innovations, this CD will take you on a crash tour of one of the most exciting musical landscapes on the planet (and the stuff people in Vietnam are really listening to). If you've never heard Vietnamese music before, you can't find a better intro than this album. On the other hand, if you've been a big fan of Vietnam's incredible music for years, you'll appreciate this fine selection and find a few surprises--Vietnamese Blues? "Rider in the Sky" on the dan bao recorded poolside in Saigon? You'll only hear it here! But every track is golden in its own way, lovingly handpicked by the compiler as is standard practice with Rough Guide CDs.

Speaking of the compiler, Paul Fisher's liner notes are well-written and do the job nicely of introducing each performer and singer while contextualizing and placing the music within the overall musical culture of Vietnam--no stuffy musicological details, just the right amount of background so that the listener can pretty much know and appreciate what's playing. And the tracks are introduced in the order that they appear on the CD (a common sense arrangement that some Rough Guide CDs have gotten a bit too fancily experimental with), so it's easy to follow along with the music--at least the first time, and with this music, it'll be the first time of many!




The Rough Guide to the Music of Vietnam Overview


The apocalyptic image of Vietnam in the movies is a far cry from the reality of later-day Vietnam - a dynamic country with an ancient and vibrant culture combining Eastern, and in recent years, Western influences. Featuring some of the biggest stars of contemporary Vietnamese music, key regional styles, popular folk songs and ancient court music, The Rough Guide To The Music Of Vietnam offers a unique insight into one of the world's least understood nations.

Artists include - Huong Thanh, Than Quy, Cam Ly, Blue Asia, Thu Hien, Kim Sinh, Khac Chi Ensemble, Tranh Sao Bao, Huy Du, Tuyet Tring, Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Van Khanh, Quang Linh, Chau Dinh & Ca Hue Ensemble, Dan Bao Vietnam

Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop

Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop Review



"Orange crush mama, it's a laugh laugh laugh."

A rip at R.E.M., perhaps?

Nevermind. This is the best STP album and, like many of the other reviewers have said, one of THE underrated albums of the last decade. I got turned onto these dudes by my son, thirteen at the time Core came out, and this is first-rate rock and roll in an era when rock was dying a slow death after Kurt's freakout. Who knows why the critics crapped on this band so much. (My theory is that the story went around about "Pretty Penny" being an anti-abortion song, and you know how the tolerant Left deals with heresies like that one.) I guess you just need to shave your head, declare you're bisexual, and denounce the USA to garner the acclaim. Eff them. The Pilots may never wind up as background music in a TV commercial, but they truly rocked...and Tiny Music was as good as it got for them.




Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop Overview


Grunge was the Stone Temple Pilots' stock-in-trade on their first two albums, but Tiny Music takes the group beyond such stylistic limitations. There's still plenty of grinding, metallic alt-rock here, thanks to "Pop's Love Suicide," "Big Bang Baby," and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart." "Lady Picture Show" is a bracing blast of Beatlesesque pop, however, while "And So I Know" finds Weiland crooning over, of all things, cocktail jazz. The album's dozen tracks find the troubled singer musing (rather creepily) about the price of fame on "Adhesive" ("Sell more records if I'm dead... Hope it's sooner / Hope it's near corporate records' fiscal year"), and not apologizing for his bad behavior ("Tumble in the Rough" asserts, "I'm looking for a new stimulation"; bet you are, Scott). But they're rock stars, not role models, and Tiny Music is STP's edgiest, most accomplished effort. --Daniel Durchholz

George Rochberg: Symphony No. 5; Black Sounds; Transcendental Variations

George Rochberg: Symphony No. 5; Black Sounds; Transcendental Variations Review



This is an outstanding CD. It consists of three orchestral works by the contemporary American composer, George Rochberg (b. 1916), including world premiere recordings of his Symphony No. 5 and his Transcendental Variations. The Saarbrucken Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Christopher Lyndon-Gee offer impassioned, convincing performances. Lyndon-Gee's liner notes for the CD are insightful and informative. The CD comes at a budget price as part of the Naxos "American Classics" series.

But the overriding reason to hear this CD is Rochberg's music. During a long compositional career, Rochberg has used many styles ranging from atonality to traditional diatonic music. This disc has examples of several different combinations of tonal and atonal music. For all their stylistic differences, the music on this CD has a passionate, visceral appeal, combined with a discipline and tautness resulting from attention to musical form. Lyndon-Gee's liner notes aptly use the term "hard romanticism" to describe this music.

The highlight of this CD is Rochberg's infrequently heard Symphony No. 5 (1984-1985) which is here recorded for the first time. This is a symphony of about 28 minutes which consists of a single movement. The symphony divides into 7 separate sections which Rochberg weaves together without pause. Sections of passionate, tumultuous, dissonant music alternate with three plaintive, reflective episodes. There is a hypnotic use of repetition and variation of simple musical phrases in this symphony. The work opens with a falling two-note figure which is repeated over and over again with increasing intensity to a chorus of brass. The symphony's orchestration is stunning. The work features effective use of solos, particularly for brass, for oboe and flute and for violin and cello. Percussion is used with great effect particularly in the development sections. There is an intriguing section with bells gonging behind solos for flute and oboe. The music is highly dramatic, and comes to full stops at several critical moments. The concluding, climactic section of the work features repetition of a swirling figure in the strings surrounded by brass. There is a rising cresendo in a string tremelo, which brings the work to a sudden dramatic end.

The second work on the CD, "Black Sounds" (1965) also appears on a Naxos disc of Rochberg's music featuring the Boston Modern Orchestra Project conducted by Gil Rose. This work was written for the performance of a ballet on public television titled "The Act" which is about a murder. The music is ominous with march-like figures in a blaring brass choir to the incessant beating of the tympani. This is intense music with a feeling of the bizarre and a real sense of disorientation. The work progresses to a slow desolate section with the winds seemingly talking back and forth to one another. Then there is a return to beating tympani, squacking winds, and curdling brass as, apparently, the evil deed is done, concluding with a quiet fade-away. To me, the performance of the work on this CD shows greater intensity than does the performance by the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. But both performances are excellent and the music bears the two separate performances.

The final work on the CD, Rochberg's "Transcendental Variations" (1975), derives, Lyndon-Gee tells us, from Rochberg's Third String Quartet (1971-1972). This is a work for string orchestra alone and it is in seven short movements. Unlike the other two works on the CD, this music is tonal and character. Lyndon-Gee describes this music as "ecstatic". The work is slow and reflective in character with long flowing lines in the strings. The orchestration varies from sections in which the high and low strings alternate with each other to sections in which they play in unison. The music has a tranquil, elevated character. Portions of it sound almost baroque -- a contemporary, highly sophisticated 20th century Pachbel's Canon. The second and fifth movements of this music consists of gracious, bittersweet dancelike themes, which extend with great delicacy even though each of the movements is only about two minutes in length. This music is indeed mystical, transcendental, and moving.

Altogether this is a first-rate CD.




George Rochberg: Symphony No. 5; Black Sounds; Transcendental Variations Overview


George Rochberg’s name enjoys a secure place in the canon of 20th century American composers, yet his large-scale, most challenging works remain little known. The power and sweep of Symphony No. 5 make a potent case for Rochberg as one of the century’s truly great symphonists, blending a mature twelve-tone mastery with elegiac evocations that range across the span of human history and experience, while Transcendental Variations is one of the most searingly beautiful works ever conceived for the intimate medium of the string orchestra.

Oyasumi: Japanese Lullabies and Restful Melodies

Oyasumi: Japanese Lullabies and Restful Melodies Review



Japanese koto - luminous, surprisingly accessible sleepy-time music. Ethereal and lovely tunes with a warm and loving delivery by the singer. The listener feels enfolded in a blanket of peace. Honestly, you don't have to be Japanese to love these. Two of the songs can be heard on the "Koto World" label website.




Oyasumi: Japanese Lullabies and Restful Melodies Overview


Winner of both a 2002 NAPPA Gold Award and 2001 Parents' Choice Gold Award. Aiko Shimada (voice) and Elizabeth Falconer (koto) play old songs from Japan; lullabies and age-old favorites that have been used to soothe children and adults alike for centuries. Compellingly understated arrangements bring out the warmth of Shimada's voice and the ephemeral beauty of the 13-string koto. Works sung largely in Japanese, with some English lyrics artfully woven in, but no knowledge of Japanese is necessary to enjoy the beauty of these intimate, nurturing songs.

How to sell my music online? Make a website Music

Let's have a look at the situation then ... Maybe you're a great singer or you have a small group or even your own label. They have great ideas, but only a small budget. His father is the owner of a record company and your mother is an actress in Hollywood, so the network is limited to writers and local media groupies.

Perhaps you have already made their own CD and some sales, but I can not find the time for promotion. The concerts will bring to play a bit 'of money, but thingsnot seem to get anywhere. So while the progress?

One realistic possibility is to exploit the potential of the Internet. Of course, the Internet has often been cited as the answer to everything, but in this case, you can get results really surprising. And this is fundamental: it is very cheap and is fast.

The music is changing, has changed. We are now in transition, seriously. Discontent among the music, the buyers have a gap that creates Internetto fill properly.

The market for music on the Internet is real. A survey conducted by Georgia Tech found 41% of all Internet users have bought music from the Internet. Forrester predicts a market of USD 76 million U.S. dollars for digital music downloads in 2003 and rose to 541 million U.S. dollars USD in 2005 and further training of up to $ 2 billion dollars in 2007 to achieve.

Statistics show that there is a real market for legal music favorable.

The Internet is an ideal platform forMarketing your music. Stocks, press releases and
Positioning are less expensive here than in the real world. Your audience is already there. Web --
(along with sites like pitchforkmedia) the first point of reference for news and music as we all know is, is a major source for downloading music.

The functions of the Internet as a means of communication have a direct line to your listeners, colleagues and even your criticism. E-mail is the perfect mechanismto keep in touch with the club and sending out newsletters and is cheap.

This does not mean that if you used a web site starts the music of today and get online sales of music downloads that will be given the opportunity to the day's work today! However, the Internet can provide a lot of things that you need to promote himself as a musical artist.

This is what you can do a music website for you:

1. News Enter your fans, if your last CD is finished, you can read here!

2.Concerts in the United States or dates of concerts (revised)

3. Sell your songs as downloads of music for fans around the world

4. Press Enter

5. Publish interviews, photos and biographies

6. Enter into a communications center for dialogue with the fans and other bands

7. Act as a "calling card" for more new messages or the attention of major record labels, the first contracts for the music stage, etc.

A web site can make the musicMultimedia much better than the press or radio, and TV is much cheaper. And you can guarantee your songs as music downloads for sale around the world! Considering the relatively low start-up costs (for example, you can store scripts 1-2-3 music that was a complete "shop" and only costs $ 168 for a license tag, and only) $ 68 for one person or group.

Music downloads are now a serious alternative to the CD. At a time when most modern
Burn their childrenCD, it makes sense to change your strategy. Sales of downloaded songs as a means of inexpensive non-production costs. This means that you do not need a record deal and you are free to do what you want with your music. Package on the cover of the CD with the songs and your fans can burn the CDs themselves.

Purchase of music downloads is potentially a more satisfactory to my experience of traditional music stores. It provides instant gratification for consumers whendiscover, download and play your songs immediately.

Internet is a very flexible format. In theory, you could have a live show, record, encode and upload them later tonight, so it would be just the show for sale the next day. Dear friends this would be like a memory of a great concert. Better than a T-shirt!

Seriously consider setting up your website design and music to sell music online. A website music is often the first point of contactthe call for people - fans, label manager and A & R control you. It makes sense for you to have as an unsigned artist too.

Promote your music online

Promote your music online has never been easier than it is now. For the year 2008. And for the fans and bands alike, this is incredibly exciting.

Because it is easier, the promotion of music for the average musician, band and author? Because it was difficult to do?

There are two main reasons why the music was hard-promotion.

First, music production and distribution was largely the domain of the five major record companies.

Among them the control of aCatalog of about 3.5 million songs (2004). This catalog of songs that have filled more than seven decades. And they were always and only a minimal loss of its catalog of 36,000 albums a year or so.

Secondly, their power to control an off-base, brick and mortar music industry, where fans have bought expensive CD-based music stores.

How easy it was to your opinion, to notice your songs, blockbuster product marketed in those days?

Why iseasier now?

Mark Vidler, Go Home Productions in Great Britain, sums up the advantages of the new musical environment.

"You do not need a distributor, because your distribution is the Internet. You do not need a label, because it's your bedroom, and you do not need a recording studio, because the computer. You do it all yourself .

In just 37 words, a musician just said what changed things.

Internet Marketing Pioneer Mark Joyner, has itsSimpleology blog that "you need a label. You do not need an agent. You do not even have a huge budget. Some people do it on a zero-budget advertising dollar.

In just 27 words, a marketing maven who had three secrets of success for the promotion of music online.

We will work with experts at hand for a second and return it to you, the songwriter, musician looking for music fans in stock.

In principle, if we take down a day job, scores, andHundreds of fans feel famous.

If you played then you play hundreds of thousands of fans. If thousands of people are your videos will be viewed or downloaded music, so it is normal for millions of video views, downloads and sales you hear shooting.

And you know what? In the age of Internet has millions of fans is just that: normal.

Let's look at one specific development of the Internet, underlines the new normal.

MySpace launchedin February 1999. In February 2008, has a MySpace profile musicians, numbering 13.4 million. Musicians typically register for three sections at 13.4 million, or approximately 4.45 million actual profiles of artists and groups.

This is big.

Each profile provides its visitors with an average of three songs to listen to. This means that on MySpace.com alone, there are about 13.4 million songs.

The song is 13.4 million.

Have you noticed what happened? In nine years(less than a decade), MySpace has more tracks together faster than the record companies.

Nearly four times as many songs, seven times faster!

What kind of nightmare of a company record. Worse still, this is just a website, are buried. What about all the other music sites?

iTunes for example, pays up to a million downloads of music. Daily.

He changed the game or has changed the game?

And the promotion of music online has become easier or is iteasier?

Music of Islam, Vol. 3: Music of the Nubians

Music of Islam, Vol. 3: Music of the Nubians Review






Music of Islam, Vol. 3: Music of the Nubians Overview


Ten years in the making, The Music of Islam series recorded in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Yemen, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran and Qatar represents the most comprehensive sound documentation available to Westerners today, of a world religion dating back to 1/622. Although governed by strict rules for fourteen centuries, contact with other cultures has radically affected Islamic music throughout history. As the world enters the XV/21st century the timing of this collection serves an even larger purpose, documenting the traditions that have survived and will continue to survive for centuries to come. Today, one fifth of the world's population, one billion people, are Muslims, occupying a large territory stretching from the Atlantic shore of north and west Africa, through west, central, and south Asia to island southeast Asia, and attracting an increasing following in India, western Europe, north America, east Asia, and southern Africa. This is a global presence which cannot be ignored.

From ancient times, Nubian peoples have flourished in the land along the Nile River. But Egyptian projects to dam the river at Aswan have, over time, submerged the Nubian territories along the Nile under water. And with the completion of the Aswan High Dam and Lake Nasser came the inundation of the entire Nubian valley in southern Egypt. As a result, the Egyptian Nubians irrevocably lost what remained of their ancestral lands along the Nile and were forcibly relocated. The resettlement has given rise to a range of social problems, and many aspects of Nubian culture and social organization that previously existed have now changed or disappeared.

Despite efforts to survive or revive their culture, at this present point in the epic history of the Nubians, when their ancestral land is lost, and when their language is no longer the medium of either their religion or their government, music may in fact prove to be the best means for preserving something of the ethos of Nubian culture, and for adapting it to further changes in the future.
