Beethoven's 5th Symphony: 
every time i hear the main riff in the symphony the tempo changes , it goes slower and gives a impact to the sound and creates tension with a smooth movement. The tempo keeps going faster and slower , like a roller coster. It creates a very dramatic mood.

Diana Ross - Love hang over:

It starts with a smooth and slow tempo, this makes me feel relaxed, chilled. The tempo is also nice and steady. When the tempo changes it goes faster and makes the vibe feel like a disco party

Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary: in the beginning the tempo is slow and chilled. This makes me feel calm and relaxed. When the tempo changes the groove feels faster because the tempo is faster and makes me want to dance and makes me smile.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android:

The tempo started slow in the beginning and creates a relaxed yet dark feel. When the tempo changes it becomes slower and softer, this makes me feel calmer: even though the atmosphere is heavier and darker and sad

Queen Bohemian rhapsody:

the tempo is slow at the start , it is an accapella. it is calm because it's slow, this creates a feeling of sadness. Half way through the song the tempo becomes faster and and gains energy and becomes very dramatic and theatrical, the speed of the tempo fluctuates from slow to fast then slower. Like a roller coaster. At the end the the tempo gets slower with the same energy and then the energy gets slower, then becomes very slow and ambiguous and its all over the place and its hard to interpretate.  this makes  me listen closely to the fine details of the tempo and track

music for performance - task 3

my task is to look at 2 different types of 'world music' and describe them in a detailed and methodical way.



Japanese Koto music.

koto music makes me feel extremely relaxed and at peace because the notes are in a slow pace but played off beat so it's not repetitive. I think of red cherry blossoms gently flowing in the wind whilst the sun is setting. The placement of the notes is random and adds to the overall atmosphere. Also throughout the track lots of instruments are introduced like violins, flutes and harps as well as the koto.


Classical Indian Music.

This type of music makes me feel calm and relaxed. The reason for this is the instruments have a very soothing sound and aren't played fast. there is a gradual grove to the track as the bongo drums are introduced slowly. the combination of all the instalments sound very soothing and this type of music would be something I'd listen to before i sleep.


Japanese Koto Music & Indian Classical Music Comparison.

These two genres of 'world music' are very similar in that they are relaxing and make me feel calm. They sound very unique
