Performers: GarageBand Instruments
Culture/Origin: America
Orchestration: MIDI sounds, GarageBand Loops, and Digital Audio
My Response: Well, I actually composed this song myself for Music Tech last semester, but I found it relevant to the chapter on instruments because I use jazz loops, middle eastern influenced loops, as well as a turkey gobble, all of which use different instruments. The organization of the instruments in my composition give it the feel of possibly shopping at a grocery store for Thanksgiving dinner and remind the listener not to over look my favorite holiday. (You can find a mini-rant of mine about not over looking my favorite holiday in an earlier post of mine in this blog.) While I realize the idea behind this blog for MUED 305, World Music is to discovery music outside our usual listening purview, I found myself thinking about this piece all throughout the reading of this chapter. I mean, where else are you going to find a piano and a cello homogeneously working together rear-ended by a heterogeneous turkey gobble?
