By Jeff L. Robertson Hip Hop is a cultural movement originating among ethnic minorities in the South Bronx during the late 1970s. Portions of this subculture was becoming mainstream around the early 1980s; during the 1990s Hip Hop culture spread around the world. The movement is said to have kick started by Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and DJ Kool Herc. The numbers of Hip Hop producers in New York and Los Angeles has since ballooned. The five elements are as follows: DJ'ing - Turning records and scratching them; Rap - rhythm and poetry. B-Boying: Different dance forms in either very fluid or rhythmic movement. The dancer twirls with the head spin and often making very complicated acrobatic moves. Other concepts of the dance are the Top Rock, Down Rock - these form basic elements. Electric Boogie is also a form belonging to B-boying. Hip Hop music consists of two main elements: rap (recitative rhythmic rhymes) and rhythm defined by a DJ. R...

By Darren Hartley Unlike Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque paintings were devoid of iconological commentary and were concerned purely with pictorial space and composition. George sought after balance and harmony in his compositions, particularly through papier colles, a pasted paper collage technique that he and Pablo invented in 1912. The technique used in the early Georges Braque paintings leaned towards creative painting. Georges was actually guided towards the technique at a young age. It is construed that his interest in texture and tactility were products of his working with his father as a decorator in his father's decorative painting business. Georges Braque paintings took a drastic change in 1907 after Georges seeing Pablo Picasso's breakthrough work in Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. The encounter led to an intimate friendship and artistic camaraderie between the two painters. They would get together every single day to discuss and assay the ideas that were form...

By Vic Salazar In part one of my article about drumheads, I shared facts about the number of plies in drumheads and how they affect their durability and sound. This week, I'll cover three additional elements of drumheads: muffling, coatings, and bottom heads. Pre-Muffled or Wide-Open Drumheads Heads now exist with built-in muffling to eliminate unwanted overtones, which is achieved is by applying a ring of material like Mylar to the drumhead's top or underside. Evans, a leading builder of drumheads, offers a model with tiny-sized holes or vents along the perimeter that get rid of overtones by moving air through the membrane. Evans also offers a unique drumhead that utilizes a thin layer of oil between the two plies of their Hydraulic series to achieve a muffled tone. Keep in mind that these pre-muffled heads don t change the pitch of the drum when it's tuned: they only get rid of unwanted additional frequencies. Pre-muffled drumheads can also help to pre...

By Darren Hartley Pieter Bruegel the Elder was astonishingly independent of the dominant artistic interests during his time, despite his taking the requisite journey to Italy for purposes of study. He deliberately revived the late Gothic style of Hieronymus Bosch as the point of departure from Italian mannerism for his own highly complex and original art. While Karel van Mander, a Dutch biographer, claims that Netherlandish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder was born in a town of the same name near Breda, most recent authorities follow the Italian writer Guicciardini in designating Breda itself as the birthplace of Pieter. It is inferred that Pieter was born between 1525 and 1530 on the basis of the fact that Pieter entered the guild of Antwerp painters in 1551. Pieter Bruegel the Elder entered the house of Hieronymus Cock as an engraving designer in 1556. Big Fish Eat Little Fish, a pen drawing of Pieter that year was published as an engraving by Hieronymus. Hieronymus substi...

By Vic Salazar In this 2 part article, I'm going to offer some general guidelines to help you select the right drumheads that will match your exact requirements. Drumheads are one of the most key elements of your drum. The type of drumhead that you select will determine the overall sound that your drum will produce. By installing a new drumhead, you can bring a drum "back to life" by adding tone and projection that were lost by using a worn, deteriorated head. You can also energize the sound of a less expensive drum by replacing its stock head with a new, professional-quality one. Prior to the mid 1950s, drumheads were made of animal hides, like calfskin. This totally changed when the DuPont Company created a polyester film they called Mylar. By employing this plastic film instead of an animal skin, drumhead manufacturers such as Remo and Evans made creative sonic options possible for drummers while adding consistency in quality and tone that wasn't previou...

By Darren Hartley One portrait among Velazquez paintings was that of the court fools, people with mental and physical weaknesses kept to amuse the king. In his portrait, Velazquez exemplified great humanity by depicting them with respect instead of mockery. Another famous Velazquez painting was The Rokeby Venus, done in 1648, depicting a beautiful female nude. The best known among the Velazquez paintings was a large group portrait of maids of honor, entitled Las Meninas, completed in 1656. It depicted Velazquez at his easel with members of the court.

By Larry Henale While searching for picture booths make sure you go over all the different deals they have. It is likely that the rental business will have a bundle which fits your celebration beautifully. A number of businesses have different types of photo booths to offer to their customers. A first-generation booth which has a bigger operating cost is expected to have a bigger price. Due to the size and weight of these booths, there could be additional requirements for the venue. This booth could cost between 900 to 1500 bucks if you lease it for 4 hours. New booths are already digital and demand less maintenance, which explains why they're less costly. You also don't have to be worried about the digital booths readily fitting in your venue since these booths weigh considerably less and are far less bulky compared to traditional style booths. For a digital booth you can expect to see between $650-$895 for a similar time period with the majority of companies. The more r...

By Vic Salazar I absolutely adore cymbals. You could even say they're a bit of an obsession of mine. I personally own over 125 of them and use 50 cymbals on one kit and 53 on another kit. The variety of brands that I've used over my forty year career include Paiste, Zildjian, Sabian, and Wuhan. While cymbals have existed for roughly 5,000 years, there unfortunately have been some popular misunderstandings about these majestic instruments that continue to this day. So with truth in mind, it's time to do some myth-busting! Below are a couple of the popular ones that I've heard the most: 1. "Cymbals should not be played right after being exposed to prolonged temperature extremes." Many drummers believe that you should make sure that your cymbals become acclimated to room temperature before playing them if they've been stored in extreme conditions. The reason for doing this is the fear that the cymbals will break. This myth simply is not...

By Ina Hunt In some large buildings musical tones fade away in a pleasant echo, while speech is nearly impossible to understand. Even though religious music plays an important role during services, a congregation must also hear the spoken message without having to unnaturally strain. Acoustic sound panels for churches solve this problem by focusing the individual vibrations, making them easier for people to hear and understand. Some European cathedrals are noted for their lush reverberation, but a very fine line separates a pleasant echo from a noisy, irritating mix of garbled words. Most reverberation is caused by noise bouncing off of hard surfaces such as walls and ceilings. Although there are some buildings that take acoustics into account in their original design, many churches are located in structures that have been re-purposed. Even without the benefit of modern computer analysis, there have been several methods historically used to correct the problem. Some included...
