Will Kuhn & Ethan Hein - S3 E17

break

I'm making my students rap, and to encourage them, I'm doing it to. Samples are from Erroll Garner's recording of "Close To You" by the Carpenters.

rap

Does anybody need to hear a white dad rapping?
Can I get your foot tapping, your hands clapping?
As I'm uncapping my rhymes, am I remapping your minds?
Am I overlapping all of the lines?
This is music education
I write this for the motivation
of the Pop Practicum
It's practical and praxial
An actual factual academic requirement 
Am I going to be making beats in my retirement?
You may ask, why me, why do I have to do this?
How will I get through this?
Will I sound corny and inauthentic?
I'm feeling frantic, it's not romantic
I'm digging through Rhymezone.com
traversing the rhizome, not calm,
following a trail of free association
exersizing my freedom of association and freedom of speech
This is an unorthodox way to teach
I'm not an emcee, more of a producer
I hope this beat gets you looser
It's Errol Garner playing a song by the Carpenters
like a feral farmer sharpening the long tools of a gardener
Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be a dope emcee
Do you believe me?
I listen to too much Lin-Manuel Miranda, can you tell?
maybe you can't understand a word
maybe I'm being too clever
that will be my problem forever
I feel no need to make sense whatsoever
but whatever
Whenever I write rhymes
the light shines in me
and maybe in you too
So now let me hear what you can do

Rap Spring 2022

With the news that Taylor Swift is re-recording her back catalog, wouldn't it be cool if she collaborated with her favorite contemporary classical composer, John Luther Adams? Back in 2015, she donated $50,000 to the Seattle Symphony after listening to and loving Adams's piece "Become Ocean," so I'm sure she's been planning for a collabo ever since.

An acoustic performance of Blank Space remixed with Adams's The Wind in High Places, Canticles of the Sky, and The Farthest Place.

The Immeasurable Blank Space Of Tones - Swift Luther Adams

A breathtaking song from Piauí, Brazil, with improvisations between.

/// LYRICS ///
A rosa também se muda
do campo para o deserto
de longe também se ama
quem não pode amar de perto

Se ela muda
não se pode imaginar
Imagina, tinha medo,
quem tem medo não vai lá

A rosa também se muda
do campo para o deserto
de longe também se ama
quem não pode amar de perto

Se numa lógica
amanhã também tem dia
ergue o corpo, feche os braços
pra ser minha companhia

///// FELEMEL, FELTÖLT A ZENÉM?
Az életben mindenért adunk valamit, ami értékes számunkra - miért ne adnál a zenéért, ami legalább annyira felemel, feltölt, erőt ad, mint egy tál étel? Köszönöm, ha így döntesz! 🙏

///// DOES MY MUSIC FEED YOUR HEART AND SOUL?
Whenever we get something which is prescious for us, we also give in return. Why wouldn't you give for music? For music which lifts you up and gives you power, just like food. Thank you, if you do so! 🙏

LYRICS // DALSZÖVEG
Donde vivo ay un rio
Ay un rio que bonito
Prohibido el pato de pesca

Az RSD-n ringatózom
Betiltják a bellyboatom
Betiltják a bellyboatom
A lábam a vízbe lógatom

Jönnek a halőrök!
Jönnek a halőrök!

Peca & Boka Tummtukoté - Pato De Pesca

Produced by Didier Sylvain

I AM A DOPE MC came out the Cypher Workshop series I organized at Hi-Arts in East Harlem. The participating MC's were not only doing the Freestyle Union Cypher Workshop exercises but developing as performers for our first Rap Recital. I wasn't sure how they would respond to the idea of affirmations but they loved it. Before that, I was always hesitant to niche my niche so specifically but I ended up creating a series of meditations for artist development. I'm looking forward to sharing them with the world. Hip Hop artists need support and tools to help them in the process of identifying their own voices and staying true to them.

I AM A DOPE MC - Toni Blackman Affirmations

Step 1: Consider the way pace (tempo, speed) is experienced, represented, and accomplished in music.
Step 2: Consider the way stasis is experienced, represented, and accomplished in music.
Step 3: Write a short piece of music that gets slower and slower as it proceeds. If possible, have it end with a sense of outright stasis. Fading out is fine, too, certainly.

                        Surface > Ripples (in 2) > Clouds
PNW for clock source, manipulating and slowing both by bpm and divisions as the piece went along.

All Shall Fade [disquiet0462]

Sunday night guitar loops. Unlike other recent guitar loop experiments I've tried out, this one has a live component. After the first minute or so (which I'd already layered in advance of hitting record), new material is added and then later deleted. This setup consists of electric guitar, reverb pedal, overdrive, and looper, plus an eBow on occasion for those extended notes. After recording (amp to phone, live in the room), I used Adobe Audition to implement a fade in and a fade out, and for a little additional reverb.
