Everyone would agree, if the music is a universal language. To create beautiful music, it takes good equipment too. Along with the times, the development of musical instruments are also increasingly diverse. Electronic musical instruments and certain already made plain, and we often see, but if you imagine an ice cube/ beam can also be a musical instrument? Which immediately occurred to our mind is freezing when playing music from ice cube. Through this article, <a href="http://mmusic-zone.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Music Zone</a> will discuss how the ice blocks to produce an instrument that is not less great music with musical instruments that already exist. Anyone can certainly create music. Although the equipment is simple and sober, including wear objects that are all around us, but to create a piece of music, the sound produced by these objects should have a different sound. As long as we are able to form and develop a sound tones of the object in such a way. But what if the music was created from ice chunks formed into a musical instrument? This will definitely be an awesome game music. As well as that conducted by Terje Isungset. That is a songwriter or musician who came from Norway. He played music unlike most musicians.

Terje Isungset, transform blocks of ice into a trumpet shape and then he started playing with his action he plays a musical instrument tebuat of ice. Terje Isungset already making music using acoustic effect and resonance properties of ice for 15 years. "I started playing with my dad when my age was 8 years old, playing the accordion and drums. I should listen to my instruments, instead of deciding to how it will be heard. Instrument who decides how I should play it. And this is a great honor for me, has the ability to be able to make music using the most important resource in the world, namely water. "Said Terje Isungset.

How much for a Stradivarius? At that time the violin was sold at Christie's auction house in New York. This violin prices reaches 2 million U.S. dollars! Or, when administered exchange rate is now about 9.3 billion dollars! In fact according to the latest news of the highest auction price of U.S. $ 3,544,000 on the date of May 16, 2006. Fanstastic prices for a violin. What makes the Stradivarius violin has a very high price? This violin has a distinctive voice that has the beauty and mystery that is unmatched. The beauty of the sound of the violin is still a mystery. Why beauty Stradivarius violin still a mystery? Because many scientists are trying to create a duplicate of the Stradivarius violin by combining various science to make the same violin. But their efforts have not managed to make a violin the same. What affects the sound quality of a Stradivarius violin? Many factors affect the quality of the violin. One of them is the quality of the wood. The wood quality affected by the climate and the weather becomes a tree. The second factor is the age of the wood when it's getting longer while also meeting growing wood density. Violin wood density also affects the sound quality of the violin. Therefore, the second violin was not much more expensive than the price of the first buy. The third factor is designed by the violin maker Antonio Stradivari is the perfect fiddle with the geometry so as to produce a violin that produces crystal clear sound and volume are greatest. The violin has a history that is etched by Antonio Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari was born in 1644 in Cremona. He published a Stradivarius violin in 1698 and 1725. Antonio Stradivari has made more than 1101 instruments such as violin, guitar, viola, and cello. Roughly the last number only about 650 pieces. For violin only 100 pieces that survive today are recorded in the world. However, many counterfeiters Stradivarius to benefit himself. So if we are not careful will not be fooled by the "Stradivarius" is another.

The Concept of Sound in the Band

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The band is a musical group or a group that consists of several musical instruments players (player) and a singer (vocalist). Such is the sense of the band in general. Speaking about the band there is a lot of pattern formation personnel. Conventionally there is a vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and a drummer. At a certain genre of music there is also a unusual tool player or non-conventional as brass players on ska, hip DJ music metal, or a percussionist and Latin jazz. Regarding the types or genres of music the band also there are so many variants of genres that exist today. Starting from the old era of the genre (Oldiest & oldskull) revived, genre blending the old and the new era (post era), modern popular music genre to genre of music that is really fairly new, still feels strange. Based on the study and observation of works in a variety of genres from the era, which will then be applied and processed through a manual installation with original equipment or real rigs. Although essentially no guidelines or rules of thumb that states that genre sound A character should be like this and so forth, but at least there is a style and character that must be learned and understood that what we pour through the voice through the arts can be fused with soul of the genre of music that we bring. ROCK Here we will discuss the concept of sound for rock music in general. Although a variety of sub-genres therein terdabat could not reconcile between one another. Like Rockabilly, Rock n Roll, Classic Rock, Hardrock, Emo Rock, British Rock, Punkrock, Hiprock, Space Rock which masing2 has a different style and definition. Derived from the English language (Stone) who represent the philosophy that rock music is hard as rock music. Rock music is more straightforward in conveying his message in both the lyrics and music. Regarding the sound should not air tight expectation that Rock music should have a distortion guitar sound, although distortion guitar itself is part identical to this music. Let more about the structure of the sound on the works of rock music that became references or masterpiece that we use as a role model. Drum Starting from the drum sound that tends to puch character with very high transient and fast. At the kick sound more dominant in beater namely (dig) is not roomy cavity bass drum (dum) although the frequency sub 40 - 60Hz should still be felt. On the snare tends Fast attack, sustain minimum (tak / dak). Normally when using a tuning tone then benchmark bottom snare or resonant tuning in E and its membrane top or batter head tuning in D or C. But they will be tuning the tone is not absolute, can all be processed by the tastes and needs. For other kit can adjust the kick and snare colour certainly adapted well to our taste. Then the sound reproduction process for all mugged kit with good quality microphone that is appropriate to the character of each kit. Coupled with the ambiance as overhead and room mic. Bass On bass sound more taste hot, tight and solid with a frequency range that is tailored to the needs of mixed composition. There is a type of rock music that his bass playing in lowrange there is also a play on the mid and hi range, but the dominant feature in rock music over mid or hi frequency. Usually to sound like this instrument needs using active internal wiring that are also optionally can be in or on the bass instrument amplification. For example the bass Bartolini active component wear or use a Hughes & Kettner amp that has power and solidstate preamp with a switch activated Eq. Then otputnya issued by a 4 × 10 cabinet speakers + horn and use a dynamic microphone or condencer for sound reproduction. Many also use an external booster stompbox preamp commonly known as a familiar example of a product that is used Tech 21 SansAmp or Hartke Bass Attack. Of the various series rigs stretcher course sought is a character that suits the taste Bassit. Want to clean and solid character who (paramore) or character lowrange but dirty (muse), or mid & hirange overdrive with a thin layer (blink) please be creative to create the character of each of you as a bassist. Guitar This is the dominant instrument in the spotlight on the genre of rock music. Where the guitar plays a strong patern with frenetic sound blaring coupled with lead-wrenching. But it is not enough simply. Let's examine these instruments tend to sound in a bit more detail. The guitar is a unique instrument because the character set of all circuit equipment (total rigs). These instruments are not sufficiently represented by the character of the guitar pickups or construction, or not enough only with a guitar and distortion effects but through good amplification process to get ideal output. In rock music could use solidstate or tube amps. There are many different types of amps are suited living adjustment musical tastes and needs. Suppose that we stretcher genre is rock modern American style could use hi gain amps like Peavey or Messa Bogie. Or the music we want to highlight the british soud thick distortion could use Marshall or Orange amp. For setting the head stack amps separate cabinetnya no benchmark against brands like Marshall should use, etc. cabibet Marshall. Can we combine eg JCM 900 head in connect with Messa a 4 × 12 cabinet to get a solid sound character with a wider frequency range, bottom or low frequencies that more taste and hi frequencies and a more detailed presence not shrill and not dominant in the midrange only. Exploration whatever we can do with the combination of head, cabinet, stompbox distortion or overdrive booster, plus a variety of experiments in process can miking dynamic mic, condencer, ribbon or can also combine it with a variety of miking techniques. In today's digital age has been very much a virtual rig that simulates the guitar sound on the computer system and can be used in a variety of DAW. For the process of recording digital simulation has been arguably quite good, but you need to live needs to think 100kali to apply through desktop guitar rig pc or notebook in the installation stage. Just to learn there is no harm in using the software, but for more serious work it feels like there is no pride if the guitar sound on the work of our songs are processed through the software. Although the choice of gears that we have or that the studios do not provide as much existing software but from there will be no complacency and privileges that are part of the history of the production process works created as a direct tinkering with experimental equipment. Try and error is not a substitute for the preset. Moreover as perfect as any virtual technology obviously will not be able to match the privilege of analog technology that completely manual, especially on the guitar. Please see for yourself the results amps sound reproduction with native speakers will feel the difference in articulation is also on the depth resolution of his voice. Let's listen to the works of the western band guitar sound may seem obvious though his voice did not insist on balancing placement dominate the front. For rock guitar sound distortion or overdrive is the main color of the guitar sound will represent the hue of our music. Whether it higain, british or american distortion, overdrive or dirty hot fuzz, etc., specify colors from now on you guitar distortion. Piano & Synth In the rock era just preceding the function of this instrument for polishing compositions complement aransmen to better create the desired shades. But in today's era of rock synthesizer instrument there being the primary or dominant instrument. Adding a distinctive feature of the music that carried the band, with a sound-sound that is more varied and unique, plus-patern patern creative and make infinite exploration of rock music that sounds more dynamic and futurustic example Carparknorth and Muse. There also are putting synth sweetening plays lead2 just short or just blocking layer cords as usual. Sound-sound that is widely used in rock music is categorized hard leads, arpegio, string section, organ, and stacato matrix pattern sequencer. To get the maximum sound is certainly needed reliable equipment is also a case of an analog synth, electric piano or a digital synth with professional series. Vocal "The color and the character is your vocalist" simple enough because it is a vocal sound produced from this process in human organs. If you are setting up the band is vocalist then adjust the style and color to your music sound to the color and character of the vocalist. If you are going to form a band with the concept of music and sound that is ripe but not yet have a vocalist then choose a suitable vocalist. Do not let the wrong vocalist eg wedding singer or choir children so withdrawn for rock vocalist! So it'll actually amusing too neat and formal impressed no free improvisation and the raw rock sound that represents your desire. Except that you select is indeed a multi-genre vocalist. But it must be remembered back to the quotes above because the color and character of the human being as determined by the vocalist was selective in choosing the vocalist is not enough talent to be able to sing a rock song but soul and attitude must also have however Rock vocalist is also iconic frontman for sale as the main messenger of your song material. Use the above references as a guide to the concept of rock music sound so there is no awkwardness or ambiguity in the sound patterns that we order for the genre of music that we stretcher. But the most important addition to the technical equipment and sound concept is the man behind the gun! Everything kept going back to the capacity of the player as a musician for a good play accordance with the genre of music that was delivered.

The band is a musical group or a group that consists of several musical instruments players (player) and a singer (vocalist). Such is the...

Although currently recognized by most of the outside world to pop, bubblegum type of songs, Japanese music is basically a combination of eclectic musical influences from all over the world. As much as it is steeped in tradition and local history, with the scale, but the style and borrowed instruments and loosely adapted from neighboring countries such as China, Korea and Indonesia, and has evolved to integrate Western musical styles such as jazz, rock, ska and reggae. 
 
The development of Japanese Music 
Disc Jockey (DJ) and hip-hop music producers are very interested in the Japanese audio production late 1970s and early 1980s. Technics DJ 1200 is the best option, and the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer has a strong bass character. Anyway, symbolizing the electric dance music and hip-hop. In the last 20 years, the amount sold reached a record 10 times, with the price doubled. In essence, the phonograph has been regarded as a musical instrument, not just a tape recorder. DJ device is also made in Japan, both Technics and Vestax. 
 
Variety Music Japan 
There are two types of traditional Japanese music: the art of music and the music that is applied to the drama. Art music has several different styles, each of which is established separately in each period of Japanese history. In general, the Japanese prefer the vocal music of the instrument. In addition, traditional Japanese music are often developed as part of the drama as Noh, Kabukl, and Bunraku. Examples of some Japanese music is "Gagaku". Gagaku is music made in court, especially among the nobility and upper class ruling. Gagaku is classified into three types, namely the foreign original, the original Japanese and mix. In the development of gagaku used in contemporary music. 
 
Japanese musical instrument 
Most Japanese music genre is still much to use the shamisen, or three-friction instrument most commonly referred to as the Japanese guitars. In quota, or a short song usually sung by Geisha and nagauta or old songs as done in Japanese Kabuki and Noh theater, which provides the backbone for the shamisen instrumentation. An evolution of jiuta or understated, classic style of shamisen music and developed by Shirakawa Gunpachiro blind musician and Takahashi Chikuzan are Tsugaru-jamisen where there are more free and improvised flashy fingerwork on the instrument. 
 
Another instrument most commonly used in Japan is music Taiko, or Japanese drum. Tap the instrument dates back as far as 6. and 7. Century, and during the war it was used primarily to keep the enemy at bay and to deliver orders to the fighters. Taiko which come in various sizes and are usually an integral part of the music ensembles especially during festivals. 
 
Japanese traditional instruments such as the biwa, short-necked fretted lute; are ryuteki, flute made of bamboo and used in gagaku which is a style of music associated with the Japanese Imperial Court; are kokyu, string instrument played with a bow that has a shape, and a unique sound Japan does not like lying to the shamisen. Patterned kokyu even in non-traditional Japanese music genre as jazz and blues. 
 
Developments in the late 19. And early 20th century opened the ears of the Japanese into new genres such as enka, Japanese versions of American country melodramatic ballads, pop or kayokyoku West. Kayokyoku later evolved into the Japanese pop or J-pop - a style that is more certain with Western influences. Rock and roll by sweeping all over the world in the 1960s and 1970s, J-rock or rock Japan that attacked the Japanese music scene as well.

Harmonica is a musical instrument that is most easily played. Just stay blow and suck harmonica would sound pretty good. Harmonica derived from traditional Chinese musical instrument called 'Sheng' which has been used approximately 5000 years ago since the empire Nyu-kwa. Modern harmonica was found in 1821 by Christian Friedrich Buschmann. A simple brass instrument consisting of vibrating plates of metal arranged in horozontal with poor design and only provides inflatable tone chromatic scale. The initial design of Buschmann finally widely copied and modified for the better. One example is the harmonica Richter made a preliminary design of a modern harmonica. In 1826 he developed a variation of the harmonica with 10 holes and 20 plates still shakes with the separation of the plates were blown and the exploited. In the end, the tone created by Richter called a tone and a tone standard diatonic harmonica. Seydel Family 1847 "Johann Christian Seydel and Christian August Seydel" previously was a family of miners in Sachsenberg-Georgenthal / Saxony began to develop the business of making instruments harmonica in because mining operations are stopped. Harmonica manufacturing plant in place in Klingenthal under foot mountain 'Aschberg'. In 1857 when German clockmakers named Matthias Hohner harmonica decided to become a producer. With the help of his family, he was able to produce 650 harmonica year. Hohner harmonica introduced to North America in 1862 a move that brings a manufacturer Hohner harmonica number one producer separately. In 1887 Hohner has manufactured over 1 million harmonicas annually. Now, Hohner has manufactured more than 90 models of different types of harmonica, tone, and model. That allows to play various styles of music ranging from pop, blues, rock, country, ska and other sundry.

This is the smallest musical instrument in the world has ever seen. A miniature guitar made of crystalline silicon, 10 microns long (about the size of a human red blood cells), this guitar has 6 pieces of strings, the strings while the 50-nanometer or equivalent long 100 atoms. One nanometer is 1/1 billionth of a meter. In accordance with its name, Nano guitar is a guitar that deliberately with a very small or nano-scale. Instead referred to as an instrument, this guitar Nano may arguably smallest miniature guitar ever created by man. Nano guitar has a length of 10 micrometers with strings, each of which has a length of about 50 nanometers. Created by expert researchers in the form of crystalline silicon material. Though the first nano guitar was created in 1997 at Cornell University, the second model was made in 2003 but the actual instrument is not "played". Because they are so very tiny, tinkling strings can only be heard by their target with the miniature lasers in an atomic force microscope. Super mini guitar was created with the aid of an electron beam with a high voltage which is located on one of the nanofabrication laboratory at Cornell University where silicon crystal structure is carved with the help of microscopic buffer. Like the guitar in general, Nano guitar is also able to make a sound when the strings are plucked guitar body paa using the aid of microscopic atoms. The frequency of the resulting sound can not be heard by the normal human ear. It has a length of 10 micrometers or roughly the equivalent of a human blood cell. If you are still having trouble to conceive of how little this guitar, as the comparison is the diameter of a human hair is about 200,000 nanometers.

This section is probably the most difficult drum set. It is important that you experiment with all the different drumheads, possibly damping, and various levels of tension when tuning the bass drum head both. Equally important is to listen to lots of music tuning. This is important because you will know what to look for when your sound set. Doing all of the above will help you find the kind of bass drum sound you like best. Here is a way or steps to tune the correct bass drum: 
<ul>
<li>Open all the head, then enter ± 3 cm thick foam, with a width equal to the length of the bass drum, so that it touches both head. For long, for ± 1/2 of the circumference of the bass drum. Can also use a pillow or rolled towel then touched to the bass drum head.</li>
<li>Then attach the batter head (skin beater hit the pedal). Turn the screw until the wrinkles disappear (turn by crossing sequence).</li>
<li>After that plug resonant head (foreskin bass). Adjust the tension with batter head.</li>
</ul>
To produce drum sounds good, it's good drumhead (skin / membrane) is replaced with a drumhead that good anyway. There are two types of basic materials maker drumhead, which DuPont and Toray. Drumhead with DuPont base material is the best choice. Some brands drumhead with DuPont base material is Remo, Evans, Aquarian, Dynamic, etc.. As for the tune tom drum, there are 2 types of tom, the rack tom (tom the position dependent), and a floor tom (tom that is placed on the floor and legs straight). 
<ol>
<li>For the batter head, do the same way with the snare batter head. Find a sound that fits with what you want. Do not be too loose, because the sound will break. And also do not be too hard, because the sound will be muffled.</li>
<li>Then the resonant head (head down to the resonant sound). Create tension resonant head slightly lower or equal to the batter head. Make enough to produce sustained.</li>
</ol>
Well, that's the way I do to get a good drum sound. Never be bored to tamper with and change the setting, in order to get the right sound to your taste.

In general there are 3 parts that need to be in tune Drum, the snare, tom, and bass drum. Drum tuning can not be easily and quickly to do, unlike most other instruments. No tools are definitely like a guitar tuner. But there is a tool called DrumDial that can help to drum tuning. Basically this is just a tool to measure the pressure on the head drum, drum head pressure gauge on each lugs to equal and greater precision when tuning drums, the rest is returned to the "feeling" drummer itself. There are several factors that make the drum sounds good and as you wish. Factors that affect the sound of the drum is a musical instrument: 
 
<ol>
<li>The acoustics of the room</li>
<li>The type of drum shell</li>
<li>How hard loe press drum</li>
<li>Quality drum</li>
<li>The type of drum head used</li>
<li>Type of muffling (damper / dampers) used</li>
<li>The type of finish on the drums (laminate or stain)</li>
<li>Ventilation of the drum. Size and placement</li>
<li>How do I set rims</li>
<li>To find that "sweet" spot on the drum. Each drum has a specific place where the best sound is consistently</li>
</ol>
 For snare drum tuning, there are 3 parts that need to be tuned in order to produce a good snare sound, the batter head (skin on which to hit), snare side head (under the skin to respond to the snare wire), and the snare wire (wire under snare , which produces the snare). Start with the batter head (upper shell). Remove the batter head of the shell (body drums). Flex head by pressing the edges to the inside (do not be afraid broken, batter head is very strong). After that, put your head on shellnya. Put the rim (metal ring), and turn the tension rod (bolt) using a hand with crossed sequence. For example, one bolt then bolt just opposite, and so on. Play all bolts crosswise order, until it can not be played again by hand. After that, turn the drum key (key players bolt), turn 1/2 rounds of all the bolts crosswise. Press the center of the head using 2 hands (do not be scared out of order), the emphasis is useful for mounting head has not changed. At the edge of the head (near the bolt) with a drum key, and make that all sound the same section. Do a few rounds until you get the desired sound. Then the snare side head (bottom shell). Do it the same way, but be careful with this because it is very thin head (do not do stretching and emphasis). Create tension head is slightly higher than the batter's head, in order to respond properly wire snare. In order to produce a good snare sound, make a snare wire tension so as to capture the sound of the softly blow though. Do not adjust wire too taut, as the snare sound will be captured.

Saxophone Basic Technique</div>
 
Embouchure 
 In saxophone playing techniques, embouchure formation illustrates the lips, teeth, jaw, and the muscles around the mouth when air is blown through the mouthpiece. Embouchure resulted in an effort to produce a good tone and the ability to control the saxophone well. In practice, there are some embouchure formation is often used by many saxophonist, but I will only outline one embouchure formation which is currently the most widely used and can produce quality sound and good tone. Too many bottom lip that sticks to the teeth and lower lip too much folded into the mouthpiece. In these difficult formations such as voice and tone brighter (bright), freer, and more flexible. 
 
While embouchure formation at the bottom of the image to produce sounds and tones that are brighter, because the reed vibrations produced can be more free. From this picture, reed remains untouched by the lower lip, but only a small portion of the lower lip that sits between the mouthpiece and teeth. Imagine the letter "V" to find a comfortable position of the lips in order to produce a good tone. Tongue (à tonguing technique tongue) Techniques tongue (tongue; tonguing) is one of the basic techniques in playing the saxophone. The tongue is used to provide accent attack or when it starts to remove the air through the mouthpiece. There are a wide variety of tonguing, but generally use tonguing technique is by touching the tongue to the end of the reed, while saying "dah" when the tip of the tongue touches the tip of the reed. Breathing Playing the saxophone technique is a woodwind instrument such as exercise, we must often practice so that the ability to play the better wind instrument line with the good condition of our body. Breathing exercises should be a part of our routine practice in order to increase the ability to control the instrument anyway. All saxophonist must learn to take a breath from the lower abdomen, because of this section a saxophonist will acquire the capacity of air to breathe, strength, and endurance to control the saxophone. To practice breathing using the diaphragm, first we have to learn to breathe using the bottom of the stomach to get enough air capacity, vigorous and has the durability to control the blower.
