Music History Today ~ June 21st, 2024. 33 1/3 Vinyl Records. It's a beautiful thing when you get a breezy day & your toughest decision was '1948 Artists?' Ella, Nat, Frank, Dinah, Sam, Miles?! All Legends. Chose Billie for the Soul and from her collab with Columbia [This Music History]. In 1948, Edward Wallerstein, the president of Columbia Records, demonstrated the 33 1/3 long-playing record developed by Peter Goldmark of CBS Laboratories. The microgroove record played at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute, in contrast to the standard 78 RPM, and could contain a maximum of 23 minutes of music a side, versus the approximately three minutes that could be squeezed onto a 78. Columbia offered to share its technology with its main competitor, RCA Victor, but RCA opted to market its own version of the microgroove record -- one that played at 45 RPM. But the battle of the speeds ended in 1950, when RCA announced it also would produce 33-and-a-third rpm long-playing records. Soon, all major record companies were producing both 45s and 33s, spelling the end of the 78 RPM record. FTA Disruptors = Equalizer𝄞 https://lnkd.in/e_wQQaU3

A little Cello music An experiment on L'automatisme Nouvelle – First, to understand this work, I must re-cap this creative method: scribble/calligraphic lines are laid intuitively within seconds, then the analytical mind follows the lines faithfully to discover the hidden compositions. Would the subconsciousness register the mood and spill a related image to live music? I had a cellist friend playing Bach’s sonata as I started my motion. The resulting artwork is a dynamic composition filled with movement, with various shapes intertwining and overlapping in a seemingly chaotic yet harmonious manner. The central area features a prominent golden mask, adding an intriguing element that draws attention. The combination of abstract elements with this solitary mask creates a narrative tension, making the viewer ponder its significance within the visual storm around it. The flowing arrangement of the shapes suggests a sense of fluidity and connection, with sharp edges and curves creating a visually engaging contrast. The use of red and black as dominant colors creates a powerful contrast and evokes intensity and passion to mystery and depth. The white accents provide balance and prevent the darker colors from overwhelming the piece, adding rhythm and breathing space within the composition. Music has always been my inspiration and theme. Calligraphic flourish lines throughout share that of musical harmony and rhythm under counterpoints. The peculiarity lies in the surfacing of lines that somehow correspond to the various parts of the cello, namely the ribs, the f-hole and the end pin. The bow, if staged also, would be too obvious and intentional. Art is best to be suggestive, excessive ruins the whole. The mask, the hanging face profile with the hand gesture, however, were modified from the shapes trapped between the lines. I could only guess that this hovering figure is a self-portrait of me flowing in the air admiring the sound that bounces in the small studio that evening. https://lnkd.in/gPVZiSVb

Sharing my new song Wissahickon, and its music video shot along Philadelphia's Wissahickon Creek. I wanted to capture the strange, historic vibe of the creek in song. I hoped the video would show folks outside the Philly area what I'm singing about. Having spent 12 years at Etsy, I've been thinking how my project management skills played into making this music. I wrote all the music and lyrics, played the guitar, glockenspiel, and pipe organ. I the arrangements and recorded cello, flute, bass clarinet, clarinet, tenor sax, oboe, violin, and viola for this. I even borrowed my neighbors wind chimes. Then I mixed the music and had it professionally mastered. It's so, so much work, scheduling everyone and everything, keeping track of a million tiny tasks, while trying to remember to take care of myself. When you do that kind of work for a project at a job, there's an obvious reason. You're advancing your and your team's goals, you're seeking a promotion, praise from your manager and colleagues. When you do it for yourself and your art, the reason is a little unclear, and there's no certainty of any reward. You just mainly hope that some people will hear it and enjoy it, and appreciate all the work that went into it, though most listeners wouldn't have any idea just how much work went into what they're hearing. But I guess that's part of the point. When people reach a level of skill, no matter what it is, they make it seem easy. I'm rambling but I do hope you enjoy the new song and its fun, whimsical orchestral arrangement! #philadelphia #newmusic #projectmanagement #art
