Topic: Figure (music)


  
  Figure (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, a figure is a recurring fragment or succession of notes that may be used to construct the accompaniment.
In hearing a phrase as a figure, rather than a motif, we are at the same time placing it in the background, even if it is...strong and melodious." (Scruton 1997: 61) A figure may be melodic (pitch) and/or rhythmic (duration).

 Amazon.co.uk: Figure 8: Music: Elliott Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Figure 8, like his much acclaimed album XO before it, is a mess of beauty, ingenuity and slight insanity.
Figure 8 is one of those albums that when you first hear it, you like the sound, but nothing stands out; however, it grows with repeated listens, and where albums that instantly gratify tend to become irritating, works like this sound eternally fresh.
Figure 8 is not as produced as XO, but neither album is as heavily produced as anything you would hear on FM radio in any given hour.

 [No title]
My observations of many figure skaters have led me to believe that their coaches are absolutely masterful in picking the right music for them but are using archaic methods to assemble the cuts.
Other figure skaters and coaches are starting to dabble in digital mixes on their computers as there are many easy to use programs available but "easy to use" does not guarantee "easy good results".
I began mixing figure skating music four years ago for my daughter and then for others in her skating club.

 Motif (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, a motif is a perceivable or salient recurring fragment or succession of notes that may be used to construct the entirety or parts of complete melodies and themes.
In hearing a phrase as a figure, rather than a motif, we are at the same time placing it in the background, even if it is...strong and melodious." (Scruton 1997: 61) A motif may be harmonic, melodic (pitch) and/or rhythmic (duration).
Probably the most famous example of musical motif is in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, in which the pattern of three notes followed by one long one is present throughout.

 Stick Figure
Stick Figure possesses a unique style of music that combines a creative blend of upbeat roots reggae with the reverberating echoes of dub.
Stick Figure's music is written, produced, and recorded by Scott Woodruff, a young man from Boston, MA.
Seeing that Scott plays all the instruments and produces all the songs himself, Stick Figure is not a band, but rather a single artist combining his musical talents for each instrument to produce the songs that make up his albums.

 Amazon.com: Figure 8: Music: Elliott Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The beauty of Figure 8 is that it encompasses Smith's musical virtues, from the stark and wispy tunes of his lo-fi beginnings on Roman Candle to the orchestrated, Beatlesesque pomp and circumstance of later work to the intimate and sometimes painful nature of his live shows.
Figure 8's opener, "Son of Sam," is as good as anything Smith has ever crafted, its soaring melody buoyed with lush instrumentation and a tin-pan-alley piano romp.
And Figure 8 is absolutely a worthy continuation of the path he was on.

 clevescene.com | Music | Action Figure Party
Sparked by the frequently brilliant keyboards, witty lyrics, and less-than-memorable vocals of Greg Kurstin, Action Figure Party's self-titled debut is highly engaging and largely appealing, though at times a bit too clever for its own good.
Kurstin's idea, apparently, is to animate action figures -- figures which, of course, are still lifes until they break free of their bases.
But in the end, it's clear the musicians of AFP work well together, even if it might be another album or two before they generate warmth commensurate with their cleverness.

 Amazon.co.uk: Double Figure: Music: Plaid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Over the years, the ex Black Dog duo have been leaders in the whole "intelligent electronica" thing, filling their albums with pleasing melodies, zippy beats and clattering noises (2000s retrospective collection Trainer is seen by many as proof of their status as the most important electronic artists in Britain).
Double Figure is as good as anything they've done, with tracks fluctuating between Plone-esque playful electronics and Autechre style programmed experimentation.
To sum it up, "Double Figure" is a classic "Experimental" music album that deserves a place in anyone's collection.

 Amazon.com: Go Figure: Music: Original Soundtrack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
music for the movie is very clean (thats one reason my mom likes it) and because it has music that has hip hop or just pop or maybe rock.
Almost all of the songs on GO FIGURE are great, with the exception of the song "Life is Good" by Junk, and Bowling For Soup's "Greatest Day," both of which tend to get annoying very fast.
Go Figure is a good movie and it has a good soundtrack as well.

 Amazon.ca: Double Figure: Music: Plaid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Plaid is amazing, and Double Figure is a very good album, but I would start with "Not For Threes" or "Rest Proof Clockwork" first.
If you never heard of plaid or any of this kinda music you'd better listen to this album cause this is who they are.
Most of the time a vocal melody is horribly encorporated into electronic music, sounding like it's been slapped into the song.

 YouTube - Father Figure - George Michael
"Father Figure" was a song written and p "Father Figure" was a song written and performed by George Michael and released on Epic Records on January 1, 1988.
The third single taken from the Faith album, it was a sharp and sensual tale of seduction which was more than five minutes long and epitomised the sexual nature of Michael's writing which he had adopted since the latter years of Wham!.
Released in January 1988, "Father Figure" reached number eleven in the UK singles chart - the first time Michael had failed to reach the top ten in his home country - but went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA, his fourth chart-topper there.

 pitch.com | Music | Action Figure Party
With its innocuously vague title, obscure record label and slapdash cover art, Action Figure Party belongs to the "What-the-hell-is-this?" category of new releases.
From the infectious funk opener "Everybody Ready" to the stripped-down piano-trio texture of "Flow," Action Figure Party allows Kurstin and his cohorts to step out of character to play much jazzier fare than usual.
While Action Figure Party hints and nods at a variety of musical styles, it rarely commits to one for very long, but the solid performances keep the disc's eclecticism in check.
