Portishead - Machine Gun

machinegun.jpgBeth Gibbons' vocal has the haunting quality of Annie Lennox - Machine Gun is like a hard-edged Eurythmics. The Bristol trio have produced a harsh listen, but it nonetheless has a strange and eerie beauty. The machine gun beat delivery is unsettling and unforgiving. It it bold in its directness, and big in drama.

More film score noir than radio friendly trip-pop, but, oh, that haunting voice. Gibbons' creeps dangerously under the skin, combining with staccato industrialism and a triumphant finale.

It might well be a sinister classic. Time will tell.

Music Teaching in Elementary and Secondary Schools

Clearly, the largest number of full-time music teaching positions exists in public and private schools.

In preschools, kindergartens, elementary schools, and day-care centers, the music teacher provides guidance for activities such as singing, listening, playing instruments, moving and dancing, composing, and experimenting with music patterns.

Teachers, supervisors, or directors of music in middle, junior high, and senior high schools provide direction for choral and instrumental organizations, small ensembles, and musical theater productions. Music instruction in the secondary school also includes courses in general music, theory, music history, literature, and the related arts.

performance.gifSo you have i musical talent. What can you do with it? In the next few articles i am going to go over some of the jobs that musicians can use their talents in. I hope that you will find a use for it.

 I am going to start today by reviewing the most common job for musicians in dubai, and that would be:

 Performance


To many people, a performance musician means playing in big glamorous concert with the crowd screaming at you, but the reality is that opportunities for a career in music performance are very limited, and great perseverance and stamina are required for success. On the up side, there are allot of other careers in preforming music that are in greater demand.

Music, Too loud... never

loud.jpg Dad was right all along – rock music really is getting louder and now recording experts have warned that the sound of chart-topping albums is making listeners feel sick.

That distortion effect running through your Oasis album is not entirely the Gallagher brothers’ invention. Record companies are using digital technology to turn the volume on CDs up to “11”.

Artists and record bosses believe that the best album is the loudest one. Sound levels are being artificially enhanced so that the music punches through when it competes against background noise in pubs or cars.
