	Tracks Of Creation: Issue #9: The Philosophy And Ethos of Hard Music
		Independence is a characteristic of the taste for extreme music because extremism sets apart.
		Vitality is a characteristic inherent in the taste for hard music because of the stark nature of all hard music.
		On the contrary, because hard music is self-contained, there should be different tastes within it; otherwise, one would be enjoying all music equally (for to enjoy all hard music equally is to enjoy all music equally, because hard music incorporates the whole of music and extremifies it).

	The Music of Television: The Saga Continues
		Composing music for day to day television work has always posed great challenges to the composer as it is bound by deadline both in terms of duration of the music and in terms of time limit given to a musician for composing it.
		There is an extraordinary breadth to the music composed (or sometimes chosen) by ITV companies over the years to accompany the handover from the Independent Television Authority (later the IBA) to the television company at the start of the broadcast day...
		Music has always been a key feature of many of the visual media – Lord Reith himself proclaimed that music was "the common property and common enjoyment of mankind"...

	Music History Course Descriptions
		While the question of American music is often approached from the perspective of the history of jazz, or the history of American popular music, this class approaches that question primarily from the perspective of concert music.
		This course seeks to position the music of the French baroque in the two settings for which most of it was created, the court of Louis XIV and public venues of Paris ('la cour et la ville,' as they were known to their contemporaries).
		Many of the styles of performance and of reading music from that time are unfamiliar to modern performers, who lack the training to make the deviations from the notated music that are necessary for correct and artistic performances of early music.

	Why Music Matters: The Cognitive Personalism of Reimer and Elliott
		Music should be taught, then, because it is a form of nonconceptual cognition that affords a humanising self-knowledge of feeling as a pervasive quality of mental life.
		Musical works, says Elliott, may be viewed in six interrelated dimensions: (1) a performance or interpretation of (2) a musical design that evinces (3) standards and traditions of practice, (4) expressions of emotion, (5) musical representations, and (6) cultural-ideological information (p.
		Music is a multidimensional, diverse, cognitive human activity/construct utilising sonic and other data, and involving two interdependent strata, music making and music listening, informed and demonstrated by musicianship, a rich form of knowledge in action.

	Music and Consciousness
		Conversely, the music that pops unbidden into your head can be an indicator of your emotional state, a window into the soul revealing content of which you may not have been consciously aware.
		Music inspired by dreams [sound example by Earl Vickers] often has an strangely dreamlike quality and is sometimes felt to have special personal value.
		Music is commonly used by shamanic healers as an integral part of their healing rituals, often accompanied by the use of plant hallucinogens.

	If it's cool, creative and different, it's indie - CNN.com
		In music, for example, the term refers to music produced and funded by any band or label not affiliated with the four or five major corporate labels like Sony or Epic.
		The adoption of indie music by corporations started in the mid-90s, when Nirvana, a fiercely independent rock band from the state of Washington, exploded onto the mainstream.
		For example, smaller music labels, eager for financial success on a wider scale, have adopted business practices of major labels once considered anathema in the scene, like hiring PR firms and street teams to market their records and licensing songs to advertising companies.

	Grunge music Summary
		The musical resemblance to such 1960s northwest bands as the Wailers and, most particularly, the Sonics, is unmistakable.
		It is likely that the term was seen as appropriate because of the "dirty" guitar sound that grunge is known for (the word grunge itself means "dirt") and the unkempt appearance of most bands of the genre which was in direct contradiction to the relatively polished look of glam metal bands of the late 1980s.
		Independent record labels, which used to rarely have success on level with major labels, were able to sell albums with equal or similar success as the major labels (most notably in the cases of Sub Pop and Epitaph Records).

		We don't know if you remember when we gave music retailers a bit of stick a while back, well since then it looks like Virgin is reacting to market trends by changing its stock way from music and into clothing, accessories and what-nots.
		Dan Zanes was cited in the article as one of the first innovators of children's music in 2002 with a rather folky Rocket Ship Beach - but since then, new movers and rattle-shakers have entered the market to supply the demand generated by parents looking to find more credible music to play their kids.

	MPB - BPM
		The independent scene in Glasgow as I know it, (from 1993 onwards) has always reflected a DIY ethos: groups would often share equipment, cheap door prices were encouraged: the whole thing functioned on the back of open-mindedness and co-operation.
		Glaswegians are enthusiastic about music and the fact that there are so many independent groups in this city reflects the fact that people here are willing to be challenged as well as entertained.
		At a grassroots level in underground music, those responsible for making events happen, I mean the people behind planning and arranging shows, are often humble and thankfully prioritise the chance to see and promote the bands they love over the whole business of commercial gain and profit from music.

	IS THERE MUSIC IN THE HOUSE?
		Techno music released for home listening on CD or for playing on the radio is usually a specially designed "mix" for that audience, but many people consider it inferior to techno music played "live" because it is not modified.
		As with previous music subcultures, an important issue seized upon by the media in its coverage of the House "musical movement," especially in England from 1989 on, was the usage of drugs by the participants.
		For the ravers, the music and the use of XTC are inseparable, twin boosts toward the 'evolutionary' energy of the rave.

		This chapter aims to examine claims of surplus symbolic value in rock music by identifying the agents and institutions that have yielded the aesthetic standards by which rock is assessed.
		While there are numerous actors that shape what and how music gets produced, four main groups of agents mediate the process by which artistic value is conferred upon rock music: the music press, fans, artists, and record companies.
		The process reveals that while the connoisseurs of rock may attempt to forge a more sophisticated reading of rock music, ultimately, the legitimacy of their decisions are dependent upon the approval of the rock community at large.

	Crass \| Biography \| MTV
		In addition to putting out their own fiercely independent records (though the majors were certainly not knocking at their door), they also formed an anarchist commune that worked with other artists and labels, and on the behalf of various political causes.
		But they were also afflicted by considerable tension between the medium and its message -- not more than a few thousand people were exposed to Crass' very broad social concerns, and their musical inflexibility guaranteed that the band would be preaching to the converted almost exclusively.
		Even for those with no taste for the band's brand of confrontational punk, they deserve recognition as one of the relatively few acts in the music who attempted to live their values, and not just sing about them.

	SkidMark Independent Music Promotion - About Us
		The modern-day SkidMark ethos came about purely by chance at the beginning of 2001 when SkidMark's web writing skills were virtually nil and the only web presence that SkidMark was involved with at that time was a basic promotional site for his alter ego as an independent artist, Incubus lovechild.
		The show is devoted to playing unsigned and independent artists 24/7 and includes artists playing "Live in the living room" on the show most weekends.
		Independent bands and solo artists were joining SkidMark at the rate of 2 - 4 acts a month until the site reached the point near the end of 2001 where there was nearly 60+ artists covering the spectrum of musical genres listed on the site.

		This continuing trend towards downsizing confirms a growing feeling in the air, on the ground, at the bar and anywhere else that music business folk go to sniff the wind or whatever it is they sniff, that the paternalistic, big budget business model favoured by the major record labels has begun to outlive its usefulness.
		But the idea that clicking a mouse is like waving a magic wand, and that artists can suddenly dispense with the small army of manufacturers, distributors, pluggers and promoters that are needed to get their record to the market, is a fallacy.

		There’s a strong independent scene in a sense that there’s a lot of independent artists that don’t have major label support that are all hustling to do it on their own.
		Other than trying to take that to the highest level you can possibly take that as an independent artist, which is what me and the people I work with are in the process of doing—you’re trying to establish regional support, then establish national support, then establish international support.
		You’re working two jobs to support your music.” If you can turn this into a career on your own, and your label is selling 6 to 8,000 copies on its own without major distribution, they’re going to see the potential, and they’re going to jump on it.

	Ani DiFranco - Biography - AOL Music
		Befriended by the likes of Suzanne Vega and Michelle Shocked, she later gave up music to study ballet, but at the age of 14 returned to the guitar and began composing her first songs.
		By the age of 19 DiFranco had written over 100 original songs, and after briefly studying art she relocated to New York City to further her musical aspirations; besieged by requests from fans for tapes of her performances, she recorded a demo and pressed 500 copies of a self-titled cassette to sell at shows.
		DiFranco continued playing over 200 dates a year, and soon even the mainstream media took notice of her cottage-industry music; after 1994's masterful Out of Range, she exploded with the following year's Not a Pretty Girl, which garnered notice from outlets ranging from CNN to The New York Times.
