Hey guys! I was wondering if anybody had any tips on mixing dubstep and bass music (think Arius, Zomboy, Culprate, etc.). I've made a few sets in this set of genres, and I feel like there is a lot more in technique and tips to be gained.
Also, integrating a sense of showmanship. I've always been really into scratching, but mixing that with this type of music is really difficult, I've done it here and there but finding other elements of showmanship (some sort of controllerism or something) is a big thing that I'm focusing on too. I know that it sounds a little ridiculous and out-of-the-norm for this genre but whatever I suppose.
Are you listening to any interesting podcasts that you can recommend?
Obviously, I am primarily after bass-related topics, but share links if you know any good music-related one that is worth listening to.
Listen to In The Pocket on Spotify. The perfect podcast for bass players - Giving you the low-down on the low-end! Totally average bassist/YouTuber Jonny Dibble and session player Chris Horrocks and (sometimes) joined by guests to talk all about the...
Music is both heard and felt-tactile sensation is especially pronounced for bass frequencies. Although bass frequencies have been associated with enhanced bodily movement, time perception, and groove (the musical quality that compels movement), the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In 2 experiments, we presented high-groove music to auditory and tactile senses and examined whether tactile sensation affected body movement and ratings of enjoyment and groove. In Experiment 1, participants (N = 22) sat in a parked car and listened to music clips over sound-isolating earphones (auditory-only condition), and over earphones plus a subwoofer that stimulated the body (auditory-tactile condition). Experiment 2 (N = 18) also presented music in auditory-only and auditory-tactile conditions, but used a vibrotactile backpack to stimulate the body and included 2 loudness levels. Participants tapped their finger with each clip, rated each clip, and, in Experiment 1, we additionally video recorded spontaneous body movement. Results showed that the auditory-tactile condition yielded more forceful tapping, more spontaneous body movement, and higher ratings of groove and enjoyment. Loudness had a small, but significant, effect on ratings. In sum, findings suggest that bass felt in the body produces a multimodal auditory-tactile percept that promotes movement through the close connection between tactile and motor systems. We discuss links to embodied aesthetics and applications of tactile stimulation to boost rhythmic movement and reduce hearing damage. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
Richard Bass holds degrees in piano performance from Georgia State University and Northern Illinois University, and a doctor of philosophy degree in music theory from the University of Texas at Austin. He also studied at the Aspen Music School and Indiana University, and he attended Yale University as a visiting Faculty Fellow. Before joining the faculty at the University of Connecticut in 1987, he held teaching appointments at institutions in Illinois, Texas, and Michigan.
As a pianist, Bass has performed extensively as a recitalist and in chamber ensembles and has appeared as soloist with a number of orchestras, including the Atlanta Symphony. His scholarly articles have been published in Music Analysis, Music Theory Spectrum, Journal of Music Theory, 19th Century Music, and numerous other journals, covering topics ranging from eighteenth-century to twentieth-century music. He has presented papers and lecture-recitals throughout the United States and in Europe and has written extensively on the music of American composer George Crumb. Bass is a former president of the New England Conference of Music Theorists, and has served as a member of the Publications Committee of the Society for Music Theory and on the editorial board for the journal Music Theory Spectrum. He was a founding core member of the UConn Digital Musicology Group (2013-16), using micro-computed tomography and 3-D printing to study, replicate, and restore antique wind instrument parts (see a video at s.uconn.edu/instruments). His most recent research focuses on aspects of harmonic practice in music of the late-nineteenth century.
Double bassists at CSU are trained in a wide variety of performance styles, as bassists have the unique opportunity to work professionally in more genres than any other instrument. While all students receive rigorous classical training, each student is encouraged to pursue other musical styles, especially jazz. Students have the opportunity to perform in a number of CSU ensembles, including symphony, chamber orchestra, opera orchestra, wind ensemble, symphonic band, jazz big bands, and jazz combos. Many students also take advantage of performing in the flourishing Northern Colo. music scene, from jazz and classical to Ska and Bluegrass.
The LSU School of Music is pleased to present the 2023 Louisiana Bass Fest, a special event all about contribution, collaboration, inspiration and sharing our passion with all bassists, and creating educational and performance opportunities for young bassists.
