  Pitch (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, pitch is the psychological correlate of the fundamental frequency of a note.
Musically the frequency of specific pitches is not as important as their relationships to other frequencies - the difference between two pitches can be expressed by a ratio or measured in cents.
In atonal, twelve tone, or musical set theory a "pitch" is a specific frequency while a pitch class is all the octaves of a frequency.

 March (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
March music is a genre of music originally written for and performed by military bands.
The true "march music era" existed from 1850 to 1940's as it slowly became shadowed by the coming of jazz.
It is relatively common to have one strain (often a first introduction of the final strain) that is played primarily by the higher-voiced instruments, or in the upper ranges of the instruments's compass.

 Music
Music is the science and art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity; vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony.
Music is an art that is concerned with combining sounds - particularly pitches - to produce an artifact that has aesthetics, that expresses something, that conveys emotion, that follows some kind of internal logic and exhibits intelligible structure, and that requires special skill on the part of its creator.
Western music is one of several separate, highly developed musical cultures, each of which has its own specific theoretical base that encompasses, among other things, its own system of tunings and scales, its preferred timbres (tone colors), its particular approach to musical form, and its characteristic musical textures.

The Acacia Strain have taken this added musical presence and used it to create a bleak aural Armageddon filled with huge, crushing riffs, Bennett's bestial low-end roar and strange, dark samples.
It is, in fact, The Acacia Strain's ability to draw together such diverse sounds—death metal, noise, doom and hardcore—into a unified musical force that sets them among the elite.
Not to the detriment of The Acacia Strain's music, though; they created something much larger than the sum of their collective influences.

 Metroactive Music | David Jacobs-Strain
Certainly, there was some novelty to his act especially in the early days, given that there probably weren't many white preteens in Eugene playing folksy-blues tunes that recall the likes of Robert Johnson.
Jacobs-Strain first picked up the guitar in the early '90s as other musically inclined kids his age were dreaming of starting the next Pearl Jam or Nirvana.
Growing up in Eugene, the aspiring musician had the opportunity to soak up the city's diverse music scene and he learned to appreciate everything from blues and folk to classic rock and jam bands.

 Potomac River Jazz Club - Roots of Jazz [New Orleans Jazz and Caribbean Music]
There seems to be a close similarity between the body of music known as New Orleans Jazz and what is known as West Indian, Caribbean and/or Calypso music, but which represents musical characteristics associated with Creole culture in the Caribbean.
That the musical ties between New Orleans and Caribbean music seem to be more historic than contemporary, is based upon available published evidence.
It is this overlay of cross-rhythms accented off the regular meter that identifies both music (as well as music of African societies) and relates it to New Orleans jazz.

Strain seems to showcase a perfect balance of raw and aggressive cyber-punk, emotional electro-rock, and classical elegance.

 Wired News: Come On Music Biz, Embrace P2P
The report said a "re-evaluation" of music distribution needs to happen to achieve a balance between consumers' desire to access digital music and the industry's copyright protection concerns.
While the music industry's revenues fell 20 percent from 1999 to 2003, other factors, such as illegal CD copying, might have played a role in the decline, the OECD said.
And while Strain said P2P networks could have a role in the music industry's future, right now the bulk of activity is sharing copyright files -- a situation not reflected in the report, Strain said.
