Articulation: #1

This will be the first in a series of entries dedicated to the discovery of new and inspiring musical compositions. As a songwriter and producer, I am constantly searching for the latest musical arrangement and production techniques. With the intent to help expose new production methods and ideas, the purpose of ‘Articulation’ will be to share truly original compositions that are at the creative forefront of their genres.

Without further adieu, here are a series songs that I have personally found to be both inspirational and relevant to the modern zeitgeist in music production.

Lil Buck performing at the 2011 Jive World Convention: Tone (DJ Timeless Mix)

The Jiveworld 2011 main stage sessions of the conference opened with an incredible intro performance by street dancer Lil Buck. Jive created an edgy forward thinking vibe for the conference right from the start, and it definetely felt like we were part of an exciting new direction in enterprise software!

The four-day U.S.-China Forum on the Arts and Culture came to a crescendo with a series of musical performances featuring cellist Yo Yo Ma at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing on Friday night. Mr. Ma performed in various combinations with artists from both sides of the Pacific in what Orville Schell of the Asia Society, one of the forum’s sponsors, had earlier billed as attempt to bring a jazz-like spontaneity to a space that tends to host more stilted events.

The highlight of the show, however, came when Mr. Ma teamed with Memphis-born street dancer Charles “Lil’ Buck” Riley for a reprise of their earlier collaboration on “The Swan” by composer Camille Saint-Saens. China Real Time has more.

Claude Von Stroke Interview

Recently I’ve been scouring the world in search of useful and relevant information about audio recording, engineering and mastering techniques. In the process I have rediscovered some great books including the likes of Bob Katz’s “Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science” as well as excellent trade magazines such as Future Music and Computer Music magazine. Additionally, I have been spending quite a bit of time watching the Sonic Academy instructional videos (highly recommended). I’ve found that although a systematic and scientific approach to all things music will help to develop a producer/dj’s sonic intuition, it should be remembered that at some point we all became musicians because it was fun. And for that reason, here is the very entertaining tutorial by Claude VonStroke recorded by Future Music about the making of his song “Big and Round.”

P.S. Toward the end of the clip Gold describes his “Mastering” chain. Well worth a watch.
