Abbey Road Studios Open Two New Studio Spaces

As visitors to Abbey Road studios will have witnessed, or if you’ve been following them online, Abbey Road has been undergoing some serious construction work over the past 18 months.

The building work marks the biggest transformation that has taken place at the studios since it first opened its doors back in 1931, and the beginning of a new era with the opening of two brand new studio spaces, The Gatehouse and The Front Room, together with a state-of-the-art Mix Stage for film post production.

The new studios are inspiring and accessible entry points, designed to make the magic of Abbey Road and its award-winning studio talent accessible to all recording artists and A&R budgets. By renovating and transforming the main townhouse front room and garage area, the new studios remain part of the fabric of Abbey Road Studios’ core facility.

Artists working in the inspirational spaces of The Gatehouse and The Front Room will have access to state-of-the-art recording technology, legacy vintage equipment and instruments used on landmark recordings as well as tapping into the studio expertise of Abbey Road’s award-winning engineers.

The new mix stage takes Abbey Road’s world-famous movie score recording facility to the next level with Dolby Atmos® Premier Studio Certification and IMAX audio compatibility. This landmark post production suite allows Abbey Road Studios to offer a service to film makers encompassing all elements of movie sound for the first time – scores, sound effects and dialogue.

Feist To Release New Album “Pleasure” On April 28

Feist will release a new album, entitled Pleasure, on April 28 via Interscope Records/ Universal Music.

Feist’s first album in six years reflects on secrets and shame, loneliness and tenderness, care and fatigue and is at its core a study on self-awareness . As the fourth full-length from the singer/songwriter born Leslie Feist, Pleasure builds off the warm naturalism of the Polaris Prize-winning Metals and emerges as her most formally defiant and expansive work so far. And while each album is a departure from the next, Pleasure finds the four-time Grammy Award nominee again showing the extraordinary depth of her artistry. Recorded over the course of three months—in Stinson Beach, Upstate New York, and Paris —Pleasure was co-produced by Feist with longtime collaborators Renaud Letang and Mocky. In addition to reaffirming Feist as a cagily inventive guitar player, the album threads her shape-shifting and often haunting vocals into sparse and raw arrangements.

In 2004 Feist made her U.S. debut with Let It Die (featuring “Mushaboom”) which won the Juno Award for Best Alternative Rock Album, and garnered major critical acclaim. Her 2007 follow-up The Reminder debuted in the Top 20 in the U.S. and was hailed by The Village Voice as a “greatbatch of simple, precisely arranged love songs — expertly produced, delectably sung.” The single “1234” boosted the album’s sales to more than a million units internationally. Also including lead single “My Moon My Man,” The Reminder won Feist the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize (making her only the second woman to ever win the award).

After a several-year hiatus — during which she co-created Look At What The Light Did Now, a documentary about the making of The Reminder and her subsequent tour — Feist returned with Metals in 2011. Metals was her highest charting album, debuting at #9 on Billboard. It was named Album of the Year by the New York Times and won the Polaris Prize and four more Juno Awards. To date, Feist’s music has sold over three million units worldwide and amassed more than 500 million streams.

How Beethoven Composed His 9th Symphony Using Math After He Went Completely Deaf

How is it that Beethoven, who is celebrated as one of the most significant composers of all time, wrote many of his most beloved songs while going deaf? The answer lies in the math behind his music. Natalya St. Clair employs the “Moonlight Sonata” to illustrate the way Beethoven was able to convey emotion and creativity using the certainty of mathematics.

Paul McCartney’s brother has confirmed an unearthed police recruitment video from 1958 could feature the first footage of the Beatles.

The Liverpool Police film, discovered recently by Peter Hodgson and posted on Facebook, appears to feature John Lennon, Paul McCartney and his brother Michael, who tells the Liverpool Echo he wouldn’t be surprised if the footage captures the boys watching the annual police parade.

“That could definitely be us,” he told the newspaper. “It was a really big occasion in Liverpool and that’s what we used to do every summer – take deck chairs and climb onto the concrete shed and watch a free show.

“I think there is every chance John would have been there that year – absolutely. His friend, Pete Shotton, was a police cadet. And George could easily have been there, too. It’s bloody mad – absolutely fascinating and unbelievable!”

Gaming music – does it really affects the player?

Developers are all going to ask the following question: gaming music – does it really affects the player? They need to know if this is the case if they are going to be able to successfully set their priorities when it comes to different parts of the games that they design. Most games are going to have background music of some kind these days. However, the developers are not always going to focus as much on the background music.

They should actually ask the players themselves about this. The players are almost always going to remember the theme music or the background music, for one thing. This is usually a good sign. If the music truly just faded into the background, there really wouldn’t be all that much of a point in focusing on it to the extent that a lot of developers do today. However, the players actually do remember the music to a large extent. Some of them are going to specifically access games just in order to listen to the songs that they really liked from the games. Other people have been known to cover the songs that they really liked from their favorite video games or slot games. The effects of the music were clearly not lost on them.

However, the effects of video gaming music can extend even further than that. Some people find that it is difficult to even really get into the mood of certain games otherwise. It isn’t a coincidence that a lot of people try to get the benefits of background music in real life. Some people play music at the gym. Other people are generally going to focus on putting music in the background while they are working or studying. This can allow a lot of people to get motivated or to stay motivated in the first place.

If music can motivate people at the gym or at work, it can certainly be an asset to anyone who is playing games. A few carefully selected chords can usually make a person feel a certain emotion or set of emotions almost immediately. Some developers are going to choose lively and fun music if the game is supposed to be lighthearted. Other developers are going to choose very dramatic music if the game is really supposed to be very intense and action-oriented. Games that are supposed to have some sort of a dark streak are often fitted with somber chords. The fact that it is possible to influence the moods of players with just a few notes and rhythms seems magical, and it is very well-documented in research and in personal anecdotal information.

Today, people can try exciting games at Royal Vegas online casino. Royal Vegas Online Casino games are often going to have exciting types of background music that will really complement the games themselves. Players are going to have an easier time really starting to appreciate the games with the sort of music that they can get with all of them. The games and the graphics will get them interested right away.
