Topic: The Upbeat


  
  Anacrusis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In poetry, anacrusis is the lead-in syllables that precede the first full measure, while, similarly, in music, it is the note or notes (even a phrase) which precede the first downbeat in a group.
The latter sense is synonymous with upbeat and is often called the pickup or the pickup note.
An anacrusis is similar to the wind-up a pitcher takes before the ball is thrown; it sets a melody into motion.

 Yahoo!'s Koogle upbeat - Jan. 11, 2001
Chairman and CEO Timothy Koogle remains upbeat about the Web portal's outlook, even though the company warned Wednesday that its revenue and earnings this year will be well below previous analyst expectations.
In an interview on CNNfn's Market Call, Koogle said that he views the consolidation of the dot.com industry, with the widespread failure of weaker players, as an opportunity to take market share away from competitors.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock J
I would call this album upbeat, easy to listen to, and not at all challenging, while still providing musical interest, variation and harmonic complexity.
Mood-wise, this is similar to how I would describe early Camel or Greenslade, though J&P's album is all instrumental and also has some aspects of space rock in several of the songs (Mellotron and swirly, spacey synth swoops), with an occasional distorted guitar among the keyboards.
The style is quite varied - the upbeat "Acres Wild," one of the only Tull songs to approach folk-rock; "Journeyman," with superb lyrics and a fine example of a sparse Tull arrangement; the off-the-wall, rythmically intriguing "...

 Nihilism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In contrast to the efforts to overcome nihilism noted above is the uniquely postmodern response associated with the current antifoundationalists.
The philosophical, ethical, and intellectual crisis of nihilism that has tormented modern philosophers for over a century has given way to mild annoyance or, more interestingly, an upbeat acceptance of meaninglessness.
French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard characterizes postmodernism as an "incredulity toward metanarratives," those all-embracing foundations that we have relied on to make sense of the world.
