Feb 15, 2011 - Intro to Garageband


The Music Studio and Recording
-     Apple’s Garageband is a little example of how music is recorded in a studio and how The Beatles started rejigging the industry
-     We need to think of music as separate tracks, each track working together to create whole thing – a song is a band of tracks, a big collection of separate pieces that all work together
-     Old music had fewer separated tracks, new music has computer tech, so we can have endless numbers of tracks
-     After The Beatles, other bands began to mess around with tracking in the studio, with experimenting and with different effects (which were/are electronic distortions and changes to the sound) and bands started to play more interesting, weirder music – you have a lot of room to do whatever
-     Music literally changed to fit some of the new technologies available – sounds and songs that couldn’t happen before – eg Jimi Hendrix
-     In the 70s technology goes crazy in music and a whole bunch of totally new, unbelievable types of music can now exist
-     Progressive Rock
-     Technologically advanced music.
-     Bands tries to get classical and rock together – strange, big complex music
-     Yes, Rush, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, Genesis, these bands made very strange, ornate, overly challenging, bizarre music
-     Coheed and Cambria
