The 7 Different Types of EDM Music

Electronic music, Music, Post format, World

As a bassist, bandleader, teacher, and music copyist, I've worked with hundreds of singers throughout the years. Though working musicians know hundreds of tunes, singers need to have good charts in order to have their music played the way they want. I define a "good chart" as a piece of written music that effectively tells the musicians what they should play. Written music comes in seven basic forms: chord charts, sheet music, songbooks, lead sheets, fake books, master rhythm charts and fully notated parts.As a musician has a responsibility to play the chart before him correctly, the supplier of the chart has the responsibility of providing the right kind of chart. Knowing what type of chart to use for what kind of tune or gig is very important.This article explains what the d...

The line-up for the industrial, EBM and synthpop festival E-tropolis in Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Ruhr, on March 28 is complete.For the most part, though, people just happening to pass by the two-block campus during Public Practice sessions are at the best advantage to enjoy the notes in the air, mixing with the environment. “We organize it so that several musicians are playing concurrently, in different areas of the campus,” explains Ming Ng, director of Active Arts. “So, there is a ‘soundscape’ that is created as you walk from one musician to another.”Like exhibits in a museum, the participating musicians are set up with signs next to them, explaining who they are and what they are doing.

New Song, “Come to My Place”

News, World

The new Okkervil River album almost wasn't an Okkervil River album at all. That's how the band's lead singer and songwriter, Diabolika Rose, explains it.

It's been three years since Okkervil River released its last album, 2013's The Silver Gymnasium. Since then, Diabolika Rose says, he "lost some connections in a music ...
