Six Machines That Changed The Music World

The Mutant
ROLAND TB-303 synthesizer


The Stepchild
ROLAND TR-808 DRUM MACHINE


The Workhorse
TECHNICS SL-1200 TURNTABLE


The Screamers
NORD LEAD 1 KEYBOARD, AMEK SYSTEM 9098 EQUALIZER 


The Transformer
AKAI S950 SAMPLER




Every one of these machines that their own unique characteristics that changed the music world forever, I believe that with the invention of one, it undoubtedly influenced the next generation of 'music machine.' Reading about to progression of all machines really is amazing. Without these machines recording and music wouldn't exist today, or be half as outstanding!

Rare 70's Electronical Music / Hunger Games Soundtrack

When reading the article about the rare 70's electronical music created by Laurie Spiegel, in the soundtrack of The Hunger Games I couldn't help to think about why they decided to use other popular indie rocker bands in their 'official' soundtrack rather than the  analog synthesizer and old-school tape machines that were used in the movies sound design. I believe that the rare music was definitely very fitting for the newly released movie, but at the same time the audiences would better relate to the new indie rocker groups such as Taylor Swift. Its a very drone sound at first but it really captures the essence of the film, it almost puts you in a trance! Very amazing, I haven't be fortunate enough to see The Hunger Games yet but this has definitely inspired me too a little more.

Sheryl Oring - I wish to say. ORG

                                                             Sheryl Oring - Iwishtosay.org


I've never heard of the "Iwishtosay.org" website or project until my art & technology class.  I really think it's amazing thing that Oring is doing, it gives the common person their freedom of speech and allows someone who would originally never be able to contact the president, a way to do so. That's amazing! I think the thing that I love most about this project is that Sheryl decides to dress up in 60's attire with an old-fashioned manual type-writer.  In my opinion this really gives off a sense of security with the people who approach her.  Instead of having a macbook open ready to type someones thoughts onto an LCD screen, the type-writer really allows an intimate connection between the author and the person dictating their thoughts aloud.  In this day and age whenever you participate in something you are ALWAYS asked a serious of questions, especially you are asked some kind of information so someone can send you ads or what not.  An old-fashioned manual type-writer breaks that barrier, because it's a machine only capable of doing one things --- putting thoughts on paper.
