The ukulele, variantly spelled ukelele (particularly in the UK), or alternately abbreviated uke, is a chordophone classified as a plucked lute; it is a subset of the guitar family of instruments, generally with four strings or four courses of strings.
The ukulele originated in the 19th Century as a Hawaiian interpretation of small Portuguese guitar-like instruments. It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th Century, and from there spread internationally.
Jake Shimabukuro (born November 3, 1976 in Honolulu, Hawai) is a ukulele virtuoso known for his lightning-fast fingers. His music combines elements of jazz, rock, Hawaian, and pop. His influences include Eddie Van Halen, George Harrison, Yngwie Malmsteen, Carlos Santana and Bruce Lee.

The Mickey Mouse Club is a long-running American variety television show that began in 1955, produced by Walt Disney Productions and televised by the American Broadcasting Company, featuring a regular but ever-changing cast of teenage performers. The Mickey Mouse Club was created by Walt Disney. The series has been revived, reformatted and reimagined several times since its initial 1955-1959 run on ABC.
1990s revival (MMC)
In 1989, the Disney Channel revived the show with a different format, which was very similar to other popular shows of the time like You Can't Do That on Television or Saturday Night Live.
The series aired Monday - Friday, 5:30/4:30 CST during Seasons 1-5. It aired Monday - Thursday, 5:30/4:30 CST Season 6. In its final season it aired Thursdays only at 7:30/6:30 CST. The show premiered Monday, April 24, 1989, ended production in 1994, and ran reruns until Thursday, May 31, 1996. Seasons 3, 5 and 7 had the most episodes. Seasons 4 and 6 were shorter, having about 35 episodes each.
The long version of the new show's title was The All New Mickey Mouse Club, but it was more commonly called MMC. Recorded before a studio audience at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, it featured teens from all races. The show was a mix of live skits, recorded comedy and songs. The Mouseketeers did their own versions of popular songs live and in music videos. Emerald Cove was a recurring soap opera type segment starring Mouseketeers and several actors who exclusively appeared on these segments, that aired once a week for 10 minutes.
Five members of the show (Damon Pampolina, Tiffini Hale, Chase Hampton, Albert Fields and Deedee Magno) broke off and formed the musical group The Party, and released four full length albums: The Party; In The Meantime, In Between Time; Free; and The Party's Over...Thanks For Coming. They had a radio hit with the Dokken cover of "In My Dreams".
The sixth and seventh seasons of the show would be the starting point for several American pop superstars and actors:
Britney Spears
Justin Timberlake
Britney & Justin
Christina Aguilera
JC Chasez, Keri Russell, and Academy Award nominated actor Ryan Gosling were all on the show and had future stardom. Jessica Simpson and Countess Vaughn were finalists but did not make it onto the show.
"Drum kit I made on the beach in Panama, the snare drum is bottle tops taped onto a tray and the bass drum pedal is sprung with boxer shorts...don't suppose it's still there?..."
This is a clip from Viva Variety which was a fake variety show featuring various skits mainly performed by ex-The State members. The announcer guy is Tom Lennon who's now on Reno 911. So yeah, it's a joke, they weren't really playing with their penises...
Erwin Beekveld found Internet-Fame after making a hilarious videoclip with scenes from “Lord of the Rings” and accompanying music. The music is a sort of dance/house music with samples from the same movie. (Most notably the sentence “They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard”, ofcourse.) After releasing the video it quickly became populair troughout the world, and mp3’s with the song soon followed.
Animusic is an American company specializing in the 3D visualization of MIDI-based music. Founded by Wayne Lytle, it is incorporated in New York and has offices in Texas and California. The initial name of the company was Visual Music, changed to Animusic in 1995.
The company is known for its Animusic compilations of computer-generated animations, based on MIDI events processed to simultaneously drive the music and on-screen action, leading to and corresponding to every sound.
Unlike many other music animations, the music drives the animation. Other animations animate figures or characters to the music, while the animations here are created first, then will follow and play what the music tells them to play. 'Solo cams' in the Animusic DVD shows how each instrument actually plays through a piece of music from the beginning to end.
Many of the instruments appear to be robotic or play themselves using curious methods to produce and visualize the original compositions. The animations typically feature dramatically-lit rooms or landscapes.
The music of Animusic is principally pop-rock based, consisting of straightforward sequences of triggered samples and digital patches mostly played "dry"; i.e., with few effects. There are no lyrics or voices, save for the occasional chorus synthesizer. According to the director's comments on DVD 2, most instrument sounds are generated with software synthesizers on a music workstation. Many sounds resemble stock patches available on digital keyboards, subjected to some manipulation, e.g. pitch / playback speed, to enhance their timbre. As of 2006, two video compilations have been released:
* Animusic: A Computer Animation Video Album * Animusic 2: A New Computer Animation Video Album
Animusic was re-released in 2004 in a special edition DVD. Animusic 2 was released in 2005. The Animusic website has announced that the company is making Animusic 3, and 8 new animations are planned, the dvd will be released in 2010.
Animusic has been promoted at SIGGRAPH since 1990, and has been promoted on Public Broadcasting Service and other television networks such as Tech TV's "Eye Drops". Wayne Lytle and his works have also been featured on Fox News and over 30 other local stations in January 2007. Animusic's 'Pipe Dream' was released as a real-time demo for ATI's Radeon 9700 series graphics cards. Animusic also rendered 'Resonant Chamber' and 'Starship Groove' in HD resolution for Apple's Quicktime HD Gallery. There was an internet rumor that the "Pipe Dream" video was recreated at the University of Iowa from farm machinery parts.
According to the company's FAQ, animation is created procedurally with their own proprietary MIDImotion software, Discreet 3D Studio Max was used for modeling, lighting, cameras, and rendering. Maps were painted with Corel Painter, Deep Paint 3D, and Photoshop. They have also created their own software called AnimusicStudio.
According to Yahoo china, the band is known as 山歌三人 which means "The dirty moutain-folksongs trio"...

Wambana is Bruce Burrngupurrngu Wunungmurra's eldest son whose mother is from Groote Eylandt. He enjoys a reputation in eastern Arnhem Land as a red hot yidaki (didgeridoo) player, a skill undoubtedly passed on from father to son.
The didgeridoo (or didjeridu) is a wind instrument of the Indigenous Australians of northern Australia. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as an aerophone.
A didgeridoo is usually cylindrical or conical in shape and can measure anywhere from 1 to 3 metres (3.2 Feet to 9.8 Feet) in length with most instruments measuring around 1.2 metres. Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument. Keys from D to F♯ are the preferred pitch of traditional Aboriginal players.
There are no reliable sources stating the didgeridoo's exact age, though it is commonly claimed to be the world's oldest wind instrument. Archaeological studies of rock art in Northern Australia suggests that the Aboriginal people of the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory have been using the didgeridoo for about 1500 years, based on the dating of paintings on cave walls and shelters from this period. A clear rock painting in Ginga Wardelirrhmeng from the freshwater period (1500 years ago until the present) shows a didjeridu player and two songmen.
"Didgeridoo" is considered to be an onomatopoetic word of Western invention, but it has been said that it may be derived from the Irish words dúdaire or dúidire, meaning variously 'trumpeter; constant smoker, puffer; long-necked person, eavesdropper; hummer, crooner' and dubh, meaning "black" (or duth, meaning "native"). It is alleged that upon seeing the instrument played for the first time, a British army Officer turned to his Gaelic aide and asked "What's that?", to which the aide bemusedly replied, "dúdaire dubh," meaning 'black piper.' However, this is unlikely as the Irish word for a black person is actually fear gorm (literally "blue man").
The earliest occurrences of the word in print include the Australian National Dictionary 1919, The Bulletin in 1924 and the writings of Herbert Basedow in 1926. There are numerous names for this instrument among the Aboriginal people of northern Australia, with yirdaki one of the better known words in modern Western society. Yirdaki, also sometimes spelled yidaki, refers to the specific type of instrument made and used by the Yolngu people of north-east Arnhem Land. In Western Arnhem Land, mago is used, although it refers specifically to the local version. Many believe that it is a matter of etiquette to reserve tribal names for tribal instruments, though retailers and businesses have been quick to exploit these special names for generic tourist-oriented instruments.
Construction and play
Authentic Aboriginal didgeridoos are produced in traditionally-oriented communities in Northern Australia and are usually made from hardwoods, especially the various eucalyptus species that are endemic to the region. (Here are the most often used eucalyptus species by region and some ranking.) The main trunk of the tree is often harvested, though branches are sometimes used as well. Aboriginal craftsmen spend considerable time searching for a suitable tree to make into a didgeridoo. The difficult part is in finding a tree that has been suitably hollowed out by termites. If the hollow is too big or too small, it will make a poor quality instrument. Sometimes a native bamboo or pandanus are used as well.
When a suitable tree is found and cut down, a length of the main trunk or a segment of a branch is removed that will become the didgeridoo. The bark is taken off, the ends trimmed, and some shaping of the exterior then results in a finished instrument. This instrument may be painted or left undecorated. A rim of beeswax may be applied to the mouthpiece end. Traditional instruments made by Aboriginal craftsmen in Arnhem Land are sometimes fitted with a 'sugarbag' wax mouthpiece. This comes from wild bees and is black in appearance, with a distinctive aroma.
Didgeridoos are also made from PVC piping. These generally have a 1.5" to 2" inside diameter, and have a length corresponding to the desired key. The mouthpiece is often made of the traditional beeswax, or duct tape.
The didgeridoo is played with continuously vibrating lips to produce the drone while using a special breathing technique called circular breathing. This requires breathing in through the nose whilst simultaneously expelling air out of the mouth using the tongue and cheeks. By use of this technique, a skilled player can replenish the air in their lungs, and with practice can sustain a note for as long as desired. Recordings exist of modern didgeridoo players playing continuously for more than forty minutes (Mark Atkins on Didgeridoo Concerto (1994) plays for over 50 minutes continuously), and some currently unsubstantiated claims peg times over one hour.
Physics and operation
A termite-bored didgeridoo has an irregular shape that, overall, usually increases in diameter towards the lower end. This shape means that its resonances occur at frequencies that are not harmonically spaced in frequency. This contrasts with the harmonic spacing of the resonances in a cylindrical plastic pipe, whose resonant frequencies fall in the ratio 1:3:5 etc. The second resonance of a didgeridoo (the note sounded by overblowing) is usually around an 11th higher than the fundamental frequency (a frequency ratio somewhat less than 3:1).
The vibration produced by the player's lips has harmonics - i.e., it has frequency components falling exactly in the ratio 1:2:3 etc. However, the non-harmonic spacing of the instrument's resonances means that the harmonics of the fundamental note are not systematically assisted by instrument resonances, as is usually the case for Western wind instruments (e.g., in a clarinet, the 1st 3rd and 5th harmonics of the reed are assisted by resonances of the bore, at least for notes in the low range).
Sufficiently strong resonances of the vocal tract can strongly influence the timbre of the instrument. At some frequencies, whose values depend on the position of the player's tongue, resonances of the vocal tract inhibit the oscillatory flow of air into the instrument. Bands of frequencies that are not thus inhibited produce formants in the output sound. These formants, and especially their variation during the inhalation and exhalation phases of circular breathing, give the instrument its readily recognisable sound.
Other variations in the didgeridoo's sound can be made with "screeches". Most of the "screeches" are related to sounds emitted by Australian animals, such as the dingo or the kookaburra. To produce these "screeches", the player simply has to cry out (in the didgeridoo of course) whilst continuing to blow air through it. The results range from very high-pitched sounds to much lower guttural vibrations.
Cultural significance
The didgeridoo is sometimes played as a solo instrument for recreational purposes, though more usually it accompanies dancing and singing in ceremonial rituals. For Aboriginal groups of northern Australia, the didgeridoo is an integral part of ceremonial life, as it accompanies singers and dancers in religious rituals. Pair sticks, sometimes called clapsticks or bilma, establish the beat for the songs during ceremonies. The rhythm of the didgeridoo and the beat of the clapsticks are precise, and these patterns have been handed down for many generations. Only men play the didgeridoo and sing during ceremonial occasions, whilst both men and women may dance. The taboo against women playing the instrument is not absolute; female Aboriginal didgeridoo players did exist, although their playing generally took place in an informal context and was not specifically encouraged. Linda Barwick, an ethnomusicologist, says that traditionally women have not played the didgeridoo in ceremony, but in informal situations there is no prohibition in the Dreaming Law. Some sources state that the didgeridoo had other uses in ancient times. The instrument made a decent weapon because of its length and light weight and it was used for war calls to intimidate the opposing side (much like the bagpipes of Scotland). It is also suggested that the instrument was used as a large smoking pipe, where local, hallucinogenic cacti were crushed and placed in the larger opening and smoked through the smaller end by the local elders after ceremonies.
The didgeridoo was also used as a means of communication across far distances. Some of the sound waves from the instrument can be perceived through the ground or heard in an echo. Each player usually has his own base rhythm which enables others to identify the source of the message. These secondary uses of the instrument have ceased in modern times as there is no more warring between tribes, and the illegalization of drugs in Australia.
There are sacred and even secret versions of the didgeridoo in Aboriginal communities in parts of Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, and the surrounding areas. These sorts of instruments have specific names and functions and some of these are played like typical didgeridoos whereas others are not.
In the 20th century, several "modernized" versions of the didgeridoo have been developed. The didjeribone (also called "slideridoo" or "slidgeridoo"), a sliding didgeridoo made of plastic, was invented in the second half of the 20th century by Australian didgeridoo player Charlie McMahon. It is constructed of two lengths of plastic tube, one of which is slightly narrower in diameter than the other, and which slides inside the wider tube in the manner of a slide trombone (hence the instrument's name). This allows players to achieve fundamental tones within the compass of a major sixth, ranging from low B♭ to high G.
The Didgeridoo has also found a place in modern Celtic music. It can be seen played side by side with a set of Great Highland Bagpipes, in groups such as The Wicked Tinkers and Brother.
A keyed didgeridoo (having keys somewhat like those of a saxophone, allowing the performer to play melodically) was developed in the late 20th century by the U.S. didgeridoo player Graham Wiggins (stage name Dr. Didg) and used on his CDs Out of the Woods (1995) (in the track "Sun Tan") and Dust Devils (2002) (in the tracks "T'Boli" and "Sub-Aqua"). Wiggins built the unique and somewhat unwieldy instrument at the physics workshop of Oxford University, from which he earlier obtained his Ph.D.
In 1996 the Aboriginal Australia Art & Culture Centre - Alice Springs created the world's first online interactive didgeridoo "university" and was featured by Bill Gates when he launched Windows 98.
A 2005 study, published in the British Medical Journal, found that learning and practicing the didgeridoo helped reduce snoring and sleep apnea, as well as daytime sleepiness This appears to work by strengthening muscles in the upper airway, thus reducing their tendency to collapse during sleep.
Comment from youtube: "Ok everyone, he is NOT on crack, he does NOT have ADD or Autism, (as far as we know)he is just a crazy little boy with a lot of energy. Yes, he is my brother but my HALF brother, mind you. So no more rude comments about illnesses and disorders. But I do agree, he's ridiculously funny. I've been meaning to video tape him around the house and catch some more of his madness on camera. He has a younger brother, who is now three and he has become quite the joker."
Bianca Taylor Ryan (born September 1, 1994) is an American singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who won the debut season of NBC's America's Got Talent at age eleven.
Ryan's eponymous first CD was recorded just after her 12th birthday and released on November 14, 2006; Bianca Ryan broke into the Billboard 200 at #57. One month later, the EP Christmas Everyday! was released as a promotional giveaway. She has since performed in such countries as Austria and Switzerland;her first concert tour took her across the United States as the "special guest" artist for Live Nation's Nextfest.
Bianca Ryan is the second of four children of Shawn and Janette Ryan, and is part Irish from her father's side of the family and is born September 1st 1994. Bianca has an older brother, Shawn, and two younger siblings, Isabella and Jagger.
At age ten, Ryan developed a preference in the rhythm and blues and gospel music genres, and recalls practicing in her family's basement only to hear her father ask, "How did you learn to sing like that?" Neighbor Denise Bauchens told the Northeast News Gleaner that she was sweeping her patio one day in 2004, heard Ryan's voice, and "just dropped everything and started to listen."
Ryan counts Yolanda Adams, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Holliday and Patti LaBelle among her favorite singers. Adams was her voice coach for the America's Got Talent finals.
For the 2006-2007 academic year, Ryan was a sixth-grader at School Lane Charter School in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania. "I'm in school most of the time," she said, "and keep up on my work when I have to go on the road."
Just before the release of her CD, Ryan lost her grandmother, Marie Ryan, who had struggled with Alzheimer's disease for five years. The following week, Mayor John F. Street proclaimed November 13 "Bianca Ryan Day" in Philadelphia and presented Ryan with a key to the city.
While searching the Internet for auditions early in 2006, Ryan discovered that Idol judge Simon Cowell was serving as executive producer for an upcoming competition titled America's Got Talent. For her audition appearance, she chose the Dreamgirls showtune "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" (originally performed by Jennifer Holliday), surprising the audience and the judges with her powerful voice.
By April 2007, a copy of Ryan's audition had climbed into the 100 "Top Rated (All Time) in Music" videos at YouTube.
At the semi-finale's of America's got talent, the judges loved the performance but said that the song wasn't right for her.
America's Got Talent's finale results aired on August 17, 2006, during which Ryan was announced as the winner of the first season of the show.
The 11 year old singer in the finale, on August 16, 2006:
Bianca Ryan win the talent show....
Ryan made a brief appearance during the show's second season finale. In a video recorded during the Nextfest tour, she wished "the best of luck" to the top two finalists.
On August 24, 2006, Ryan announced on her website that she had flown to New York to meet with representatives from a "major record label" and some of the recording industry's top songwriters. The Northeast Times reported that same day that Ryan met with Grammy Award-winning producer David Foster and was being managed by Peter Rudge.
The following month, Ryan was in Los Angeles, California, to record her first CD, featuring cover versions of "The Rose" and "I Believe I Can Fly" and original songs like "I Wish That" and "Pray for a Better Day". Bianca Ryan was released on November 14, 2006; eight days later, the album broke in at #57 on the Billboard album charts, showcasing "her gargantuan chops and sweet charm," wrote Matt Collar of All Music Guide. Though he called the arrangements "somewhat over-the-top pop creations" and "grandiose given Ryan's age, her musical aspirations are more than matched by her truly impressive vocal talent." Los Angeles Daily News reviewer Sandra Barrera went a step further, calling Bianca Ryan "an album filled mostly with really bad covers." Still, she wrote, "Ryan tackles these kinds of has-beens like the old pro that her big, powerful voice makes you think she is."
Bianca Ryan is the first of a five-album record deal signed on September 18 with SYCOmusic, run by Simon Cowell as part of Columbia Records (SONY BMG). Ryan is the first U. S. artist to sign with SYCOmusic.
Tallan Noble Latz (aka: The T-Man) was born on September 22, 1999 to Carl and Doris Latz. Tallan had an immediate connection to the sound of music and how it effected his emotions. He seemed to be born to play music and has been doing so for most of his life.
Tallan received his first musical instrument, a drum set, when he was 3. At age 4 he received a small acoustic guitar. He would strap that guitar on and play for anyone that would sit and listen.
At the age of 5 Tallan asked for an electric guitar for Easter after watching a video of Joe Satriani. He had his choice between a guitar, a remote control boat or a new bike. He chose the guitar. The stipulation was that if he got the guitar he must take lessons and practice. He has done both every since and has never looked back!
Tallan has a real determination to improve his guitar playing skills. Tallan practices 2 - 3+ hours a day. Tallan has studied with many accomplished teachers, he also watches numerous instructional DVD’s and has become a student of his instrument. All the while he’s working towards becoming one of the best.
Tallan loves playing his guitar; he’s played before small groups of 15 to huge crowds of a couple thousand. Tallan has already performed at dozens of venues and festivals. He has had the opportunity to share the stage with hundreds of different musicians, some local musician, some regionally known, some nationally known and still others that are internationally known, all before the age of 8. You can find more about where and with whom Tallan has played with here.
In just a few short months, Tallan has created a huge stir in the SE WI and Northern IL. The buzz is all about this little kid playing with the big boys. They are all saying the same thing “You gotta see this!!!”.
Tallan has many musical influences that range across many genres of music from classical music to classic rock and from blues to country. Tallan’s list is an endless list but some of his major influences that he came up with are: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, BB King, Buddy Guy, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Miller, Eric Johnson, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, Derek Trucks, Rush, Keith Urban, Craig Young, Collective Soul, Bach, Beethoven and the list goes on and on.
Tallan already has endorsement deals with these companies: Curt Mangan Strings, Morley Guitar pedals, Laney Amps and Dean Guitars. More endorsements are in the works right now.
Just recently, before his 8th birthday, Tallan has formed a band with some seasoned music veterans from the area. The name of the band took on Tallan’s nickname and is called T-Man’s Blues Project. They are already taking the music community by storm.
Tallan has many exciting things that are in the works for the remainder of year including going into the studio to put together a CD and many other things that he’ll be announcing shortly. Some of these announcements are major things for an adult let alone a now 8 year old. (source: http://www.pbase.com/soulfulimpressions/tallan_latz).
A music video for Kunal Sen's song 'The Crazy Dice' which invloves a combination of real time staging and compositing. Inspired by Michel Gondry, this piece was recorded and the video shot and composited in the span of 10 days.
"The first part was recording the song, then i did a rough layout sketch/animatic to time out the various actions. The projected video was shot and edited... And then, the actual shoot, which was shot 3 times (from the same camera angle) and the final image stitched together on Combustion. That was the tricky part, and the most work!!!"
Most people look at this man with admiration, some see him as trivial or even silly. I know that without men like this a lot of very personal, and amazing music would not be heard. Too many people are caught up in perfection to hear peoples soul anymore. I for one love this and any kind of new thing im graced enough to hear. Congrats to real people.

Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck on June 30, 1963 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish guitar virtuoso, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader. Malmsteen became notable in the mid-1980s for his technical fluency and neo-classical metal compositions. Four of his albums from 1984 to 1988, Rising Force, Marching Out, Trilogy, and Odyssey, ranked in the top 100 for sales.
Malmsteen was born on June 30, 1963, as the first child of a musically talented family in Stockholm, Sweden. At age seven, he saw a television news report on the death of Jimi Hendrix. To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Malmsteen was born". At the age of 10 he took his mother's maiden name Malmsten as his surname, slightly changed it to Malmsteen, and Anglicised his given name Yngve to "Yngwie". Malmsteen was a teenager when he first encountered the music of the 19th century violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical music influence.
Black star (live in Brazil, 1998)
The japanese orchestra plays the Black star... Malmsteen wrote everything for the whole orchestra.
Through his emulation of Paganini concerto pieces on guitar, Malmsteen developed a prodigious technical fluency. Malmsteen's guitar style include a wide, violin-like vibrato inspired by classical violinists, and use of such minor scales as the Harmonic minor, and minor modes such as Phrygian, and Aeolian.
Malmsteen also cites Brian May of Queen, Steve Hackett of Genesis, Uli Jon Roth, and Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple as influences.
Rising Force won the Guitar Player Magazine's award for Best Rock Album and was also nominated for a Grammy for 'Best Rock Instrumental', achieving #60 on the Billboard album chart. Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force (as his band was thereafter known) next released Marching Out (1985).
That year, Malmsteen was in a serious car accident, smashing his Jaguar XKE into a tree and putting him in a coma for a week. Nerve damage to his right hand was reported. During his time in the hospital, Malmsteen's mother died from cancer. In the summer of 1988 he released his fourth album, Odyssey. Odyssey would be his biggest hit album, mainly because of its first single "Heaven Tonight". Shows in Russia during the Odyssey tour were recorded, and released in 1989 as his fifth album Trial By Fire: Live in Leningrad. The concert in Leningrad was the largest ever by a western artist in the Soviet Union.
Malmsteen's "Neo-classical" style of metal became moderately popular during the mid 1980s, with contemporaries such as Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, Tony MacAlpine and Vinnie Moore becoming prominent. MacAlpine came to the neoclassical/shred field by applying his classical piano training to his guitar playing and Moore arrived at a similar style because he shared Malmsteen's major influences. In late 1988, Malmsteen's signature Fender Stratocaster guitar was released, making him and Eric Clapton the first artists to be honoured by Fender.
In the early 1990s Malmsteen released the albums Eclipse (1990), The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection (1991), Fire and Ice (1992) and The Seventh Sign (1994). Despite his early success, and continuous success in Europe and Asia, by the early 1990s 1980s heavy metal styles such as neoclassical metal and lengthy, virtuostic shred guitar solos had become unfashionable in the US.
In the 1990s, Malmsteen continued to record and release albums under the Japanese record label Pony Canyon, and maintained a devoted following from some fans in Europe and Japan, and to a lesser extent in the USA. In 2000, he once again acquired a contract with a US record label, Spitfire, and released his 1990s catalog into the US market for the first time, including what he regards as his masterpiece, Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra, recorded with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague. In 1993, Malmsteen's mother-in-law, who was opposed to his engagement with her daughter, had him arrested for threatening her with a shotgun and holding her daughter against her will. The charges against Malmsteen were dropped when he denied the incident.
After the release of War to End All Wars in 2000, singer Mark Boals left the band. Malmsteen went on tour with former Ark vocalist Jorn Lande. Due to various tensions on tour, Jorn left before the recording of Malmsteen's next album, Attack!!. He was replaced by former Rainbow vocalist Doogie White. White's vocals were well received by fans. In 2003, Malmsteen joined Joe Satriani and Steve Vai as part of the G3 supergroup. Malmsteen made two guest appearances on keyboardist Derek Sherinian's albums Black Utopia (2003), and Blood of the Snake (2006) where Malmsteen is heard on the same tracks as Al Di Meola and Zakk Wylde.
Malmsteen released Unleash the Fury in 2005. He is married to April and has a son named Antonio after Antonio Vivaldi, and they live in Miami, Florida. A noted Ferrari enthusiast, he owned a black 1985 308 GTS for 18 years before selling it on eBay, and a red 1962 250 GTO. In the mid-2000s, he gave up smoking and drinking alcohol (date: April 2007). In 2007, Malmsteen was honoured in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II. Players can receive the "Yngwie Malmsteen" award by hitting 1000 or more notes in succession...
This Swedish guy decided to make his own "one man band" version of the Irish song "Seven drunken nights" so he made it with a couple of different instruments to try to make different music styles on the same song.
Nora was adopted as a kitten in 2004 from a cat shelter in Cherry Hill, NJ. Her parents, Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow!, are artists and musicians who live in Philadelphia. As a kitten, Nora showed an immediate interest in the piano during Betsy's lessons with her many private students. One day Nora jumped up on the piano bench, sat in perfect posture with both paws on the keys, and began to play notes. She was just a year old. She has played almost every day since then, and loves to play duets with Betsy's students.
The term hydraulophone refers to a musical instrument that is played by direct physical contact with hydraulic fluid (typically water) in which sound is generated or affected hydraulically. Typically the sound is produced by the same hydraulic fluid that is in direct contact with the player's fingers.
Two people playing "House of the Rising Sun" on the hydraulophone (water pipe organ flute which is the fountain outside the Ontario Science Centre).
Ryan Janzen's Suite for Hydraulophone, Movement II, played in the Great Hall, as recorded by an underwater video camera (gets in close to the water sprays near the end)
Dangerous use of the hydraulophone... Playing the George Gershwin lullaby "Summertime", on hydraulophone, in a canoe :)
The invention of musical instruments that make sound from vibrating water has created a category of musical instruments that do not fit into any of the previously existing classification schemes. Therefore a physics-based organology was introduced, in which the top-level category is the state-of-matter of that which initially produces the sound in the instrument.
This system includes the possibility of instruments that make sound in all three states-of-matter: solid, liquid, and gas. A fourth category for instruments that make sound from high-energy states such as plasma, is also included.
The first three-categories of the Hornbostel Sachs system fall under the first category of the physical organology system, as they all produce sound from matter in its solid state.
This physical organology is as follows:
1 Gaiaphones (Earth/Solid), instruments in which the initial sound-production medium is by matter in its solid-state, e.g. the piano. 1.1 Chordophones: sound produced by solids that are essentially 1-dimensional (having a cross-section much smaller than their length, i.e. strings), e.g. violin, guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, etc.; 1.2 Membranophones: sound produced by solids that are essentially 2-dimensional (much thinner than their surface area) membranes, e.g. drums; 1.3 Idiophones: sound produced by bulk 3-dimensional solid matter, e.g. crystallophone, glass harmonica, xylophone, metallophone, etc., regardless of whether the instrument is operated underwater or in air;
2 Hydraulophones (Water/Liquid): sound produced by matter in its liquid state; instrument itself may be played underwater or played in a surrounding medium of air, with water supplied only to the internal workings of the instrument:
3 Aerophones (Air/Gas): sound produced by matter in its gaseous state, e.g. woodwind instruments and "brass" instruments;
4 Plasmaphones/Ionophones (Fire/Plasma): sound produced by matter in a high-energy state such as plasma, e.g. plasmaphone, etc.;
5 Quintephones (Quintessence/Idea): sound produced informatically, by electrical, optical, mechanical, or other computational/algorithmic means

Great street performance by Stefan Joubert at Covent Garden (London)...
Stefan Joubert is an International World Class Musician, he has developed an extraordinary style of guitar playing, using both hands on the fingerboard similar to a keyboard player. This extraordinary kind of playing opens up a world of multi-dimensional guitar sound which makes the music sound as if there where 2 or 3 guitarists.
Originally, Paul Dateh was only supposed to be a violinist. Beginning his violin studies at the age of four, it seemed that Dateh’s future in the classical industry was set in stone. But, on his first day at The University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, Dateh suddenly dropped his major in Violin Performance and enrolled in the Jazz Studies program instead. The move shocked his colleagues as it was hard to understand why anyone would walk away from fourteen years of classical training to begin learning an entirely new musical discipline. But, Dateh knew that he wanted to be more than just a classical musician; his goal was to become a musician, in every possible way.
Today, as a singer, an award-winning songwriter, and an instrumentalist, it would appear that Dateh is on track to achieving his goal. His work can be heard on releases by various artists within both mainstream and underground hip hop circles, and he can currently be seen performing throughout the United States with his band “The Live Movement”.
GAME OVER is one of the art projects developed by the Swiss artist Guillaume Reymond (NOTsoNOISY creative agency). It consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre during about 4 to 6 hours. Each "pixel" has its own rules and decides what s/he wants to do for each picture. Once all these pictures are turned into a short animation movie, a giant human-scale video game unfolds "live".
Who does not remember TETRIS, one of the very first video games? Players had to pile up rudimentary geometric forms on top of each others, in tune with a little Russian music… The original theme of the game (1989, Game Boy):
TETRIS is the fourth video performance of the GAME OVER Project.
Well, the biggest ever game of human TETRIS has in fact taken place on November 24th 2007, as a pre-view of the festival "Les Urbaines", in Lausanne, Switzerland with 88 extras, 4,5 hours of shooting, and 880 pictures!
Who does not remember SPACE INVADERS, one of the very first video-games? With your spaceship, your task was to defend the Earth against squadrons of invaders coming from outer space...
On Saturday 24th June 2006, 67 people sat for almost 4 hours in the a theatre of the Espace Nuithonie. After they received colour t-shirts, they simulated the pixels of the game. For each of the 390 pictures, these human pixels moved or not, from one seat to another, following the specific rules they had been given according to their role (canon, spaceship, missile, bunker,...). All photographs were then put together into a short animation movie.
The SPACE INVADERS video was shown to the public of the Festival on June 29th and July 8th 2006. The audience could then discover a giant-sized game of SPACE INVADERS at human-scale.
The reacTable is a round translucent table, used in a darkened room, and appears as a backlit display. By placing blocks called tangibles on the table, and interfacing with the visual display via the tangibles or fingertips, a virtual modular synthesizer is operated, creating music or sound effects.
There are various types of tangibles representing different modules of an analog sythesizer. Audio frequency VCOs, LFOs, VCFs, and sequencers are some of the commonly-used tangibles. There are also tangibles that affect other modules: one called radar is a periodic trigger, and another limits a VCO to the notes of a musical scale.
The table itself is the display. As a tangible is placed on the table, various animated symbols appear, such as waveforms, circles, circular grids, or sweeping lines. Some symbols merely show what the particular tangible is doing, others can be used by fingertip to control the respective module.
If a VCO tangible is placed on the table, a VCO module is added to the virtual synthesizer. In the display, a waveform will appear between the tangible and the "output" (a bright spot at the center of the table), and a circle appears around the tangible which allows fingertip control of the amplitude of the waveform. Additionally, in this example the tangible can be rotated by hand to change the frequency.
Placing a filter tangible between the VCO and the output causes the VCO's waveform to connect to the filter, and the filter waveform to connect to the output. If an LFO tangible is placed near the VCO, a waveform will then appear connecting those two, and the LFO will modulate the VCO.
The reacTable's main user interface consists of a translucent table. Underneath the table is situated a video camera, aimed at the underside of the table and inputing video to a personal computer. There is also a video projector under the table, also connected to the computer, projecting video onto the underside of the table top that can be seen from the upper side as well.
Placed onto the table are the tangibles that have fiducials attached to their underside which are seen through the table by the camera. Fiducials are printed black and white images, consisting of circles and dots in varying patterns, optimized for use by reacTIVision. reacTIVision then uses the fiducials to understand the function of a particular tangible.
Most of the tangibles are flat, with one fiducial on the underside. Some other tangibles are cubes, with fiducials attached to several sides, allowing those tangibles to serve multiple functions.
The video received from the video camera into the computer is processed by open-source computer vision software called reacTIVision originally developed by Ross Bencina and Martin Kaltenbrunner. reacTIVision detects cartesian and rotational placement of fiducials in video images, then outputs OpenSound Control messages for music synthesizer software, either using MIDI or a specially designed packet based network protocol TUIO. reacTivision also tracks fingertip placement.
reacTIVision also communicates to the TUI software that outputs to the video projector.
The reacTable has been presented and performed with at various festivals and conferences such as Ars Electronica, Sónar, NIME and SIGGRAPH.
Icelandic songstress Björk is perhaps the first musician outside of the select presentations and demonstrations to use a reacTable in live performance. Björk's 2007 world tour supporting her 2007 release Volta use the instrument in several songs including "Declare Independence"; Björk's live inaugural use of the instrument took place at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 27, 2007.
Here's Mr. Herman's audition that made him qualify for that event. Madonna's song!
Mark sings Wes - Alane:
Translation of the dutch part: Thanks to EnigmaDrath!
First of all, he (Mark) was singing (what was according to him) an African song. *sing song and does silly dance and cracks judges up* Henk-Jan (HJ): Do you speak any African? Mark: No, only this. HJ: But you have no idea what you're singing about? Mark: No. My parents are Dutch and we aren't negros (translates directly to "negers" in Dutch means the same, but isn't considered (that) offensive)
HJ (echoing the other judges' reactions): Really? I would never have guessed that (you aren't black) looking at you. And, if I may ask, what's wrong with your eyes? Mark: Oh, I thought, you know, "dress to impress". Wear cool sunglasses. My mom (judge interrupts because he didn't hear him the first time; he used slang) said that I should wear an entire African outfit and rub myself brown (to resemble a black person, which would have made for even MORE comedy) but yeah.
HJ: Well, you have amused us tremendously, but you won't get any farther than this. Can I see your eyes, just once? Mark shows eyes There's some controversy that the woman judge says, upon seeing his eyes, "Nou ja, mongool" ("Yeah, well, Mongol"; Mongool is derogatory Dutch for a mentally retarded person), but she actually says "Nou ja, mag ook" ("Yeah, well, can too", or "It's permissible")
Macarron Chacarron (usually shortened to Chacarron) is a hit pseudo-Spanish-language song. The song is by two artists - Rodney Clark, known as "El Chombo" (The self titled ‘Godfather of the Reggaeton sound, best known for Lorna's 2003 worldwide hit "Papi Chulo") and Andy De La Cruz (also known as Andy Val Gourmet), both artists from Panama. The song has gained popularity on the Internet because of its nonsense lyrics (which despite sounding vaguely Spanish, are nothing but gibberish) and odd music video, with an excerpt featured on many sites. Andy’s mumbled vocals were originally laid down as a rough skit with a view to writing "proper" lyrics later but because many loved what he had recorded, they decided to keep the original version.
Since then many internet sites have juxtaposed the song with humorous videos of various figures and characters, such as Batman or Shrek. The most famous usage of the Macarron Chacarron audio track is called "Ualuealuealeuale", an onomatopoeia of the gibberish hook, and features various clips of Batman dancing and fighting.
Vera Meyer plays the Glass Harmonica in Harvard Square, Boston, July, 2005. The instrument, an invention of Benjamin Franklin, was quickly banned after its inception. It was said to provoke insanity. The unique harmonics have also been said to import theraputic powers. It is also known as the "Glass Armonica".
Professional concert played just on wine glasses. The instrument is called glass harp or musical glasses. Glass duo ensemble:
Wally Eastwood began charming audiences at the age of 17. Born into a six-generation family of acrobatic trapeze artisits, it didnt take long before Wally decided to keep his feet on the ground. Yes, he was affraid of heights!
Wally has since won many international awards for his talents. After seeing a performance of Wally's in Las Vegas LA Dodgers Tommy Lasorda was quoted saying "WOW! you are the man with the fastest hands!" Performing in over 5 different contries Wally has become a versatile performer. He has starred in many of the top shows in Las Vegas and around the world. Wally's motivation for performing still lies in the audience interaction. he has a unique knack for charming and entertaining all types of audiences with his visual comedy, incredible mastery of juggling and his versatility of languages. To quote JERRY LEWIS : "He's the best, really he's really the best..." (from http://www.vtheshow.com/cast.htm)
Victor Lemonte Wooten (born September 11, 1964 ) is an electric bass player. He is highly regarded among his musical peers for his extraordinary technical virtuosity and his skills as musician and composer. Wooten has won the "Bass Player of the Year" award from Bass Player Magazine three times in a row, and was the first person to win the award more than once.
He was born to a Virginia family and was taught by his older brother Regi to play bass at age two, and by age five Victor could hold simple bass lines and play gigs. The Wooten Brothers band (Regi, Rudy, Roy, Joseph and Victor) played for many years in the 1970s around Williamsburg, Virginia as well as opening up for Curtis Mayfield and War. Victor also played bass in the country show at Busch Gardens before moving to Nashville. While in Virginia, Victor met his longtime wife, Holly.
After moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 1988 Victor was immediately recruited by blues and soul singer Jonell Mosser. A year later he was hired by banjo maestro Béla Fleck, along with keyboardist and harmonica player Howard Levy and Victor's brother Roy Wooten (a.k.a. Future Man). Their group, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, became famous first by playing a mixture of jazz, funk, and bluegrass, then later becoming one of the most stylistically free-swinging bands of the modern era. (Levy eventually left the group and was replaced by saxophonist and horn virtuoso Jeff Coffin.)
Wooten has been a member of several fusion and progressive supergroups, including Bass Extremes (with Steve Bailey, Derico Watson and Oteil Burbridge), the Vital Tech Tones (with Scott Henderson and Steve Smith), the Indian jazz fusion guitarist Guitar Prasanna, and the "Extraction" trio (with Greg Howe and Dennis Chambers). He recorded with renowned Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster on her 2003 album Blueprint.
Victor currently tours with his solo group, and still with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. He resides near Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and four children.
In Mid 2006, Victor Wooten teamed up with fellow bassist Steve Bailey and RBD Studios to create The Bass Vault. The Bass Vault is a membership based site that allows other musicians and fans to have exclusive access to content and live chats with various artists. Wooten and Bailey frequent the site and can often be found on Bass Vault live video chat. He was taught bass by Tyler Delaura.
Modern improvements in electric bass guitar construction, such as a lowered string "action" and additional strings, have brought the bass closer to the electric guitar, allowing new playing techniques that were essentially impossible on a bass in the 1970s. As a child, his older brother Regi helped him develop his double-thumbing technique to help imitate the basslines of such greats as Larry Graham. This technique, also utilized by such bassists as Marcus Miller (and Larry Graham too in "Release Yourself", 1974) uses the thumb to strike the string both downwards and upwards, similar to a guitar pick. Victor is also lauded for his Stanley Jordan-like two-handed tapping and "trademark" open-hammer-pluck technique. He utilizes all of these techniques to achieve an amazing array of sounds during live performance, from growling funk to machine-gun cascading arpeggios more reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen or Steve Vai.
Wooten is most often seen playing Fodera basses, of which he has a signature model. His most famous Fodera, a 1983 Monarch Deluxe which he refers to as "number 1", sports a Kahler Tremolo System model 2400 bridge. Fodera's "Yin Yang" basses (designed/created for Wooten) incorporate the Yin Yang symbol - which Wooten often uses in various media - as a main focal point of the top's design and construction. It is often mistakenly thought that the Yin Yang symbol is painted onto the bass, but in reality, the symbol is created from two pieces of naturally finished wood (Ebony and Holly, for example), seamlessly fitted together to create the Yin-Yang pattern.
Though Wooten's basses receive much attention, his most frequent and consistent response when asked by his fans about which bass is best, etc. ..., is that "the bass makes no music ... you do". He'll often go on to state that the most important features to look for in a bass are comfort and playability. During a question and answer session at a 1998 concert, Wooten stated that "If you take a newborn baby and put them on the instrument, they're going to get sounds out of it that I can't get out of it, so we're all the best." This philosophy seems closely related to another fundamental truth about Wooten's stated approach to and experience of bass and music in general, which is that music is a language. According to Wooten, when speaking or listening we don't focus on the mouth as it is forming words; similarly, when a musician is playing or performing the focus shouldn't be on the instrument.
As well as playing electric bass (both fretted and fretless), and the double bass, Victor also played the cello in high school. This is the instrument to which he attributes his musical training.
Guitar battle of Victor and Regi Wooten (he is Victor's brother):
The daxophone, invented by Hans Reichel, is a custom made musical instrument of the friction idiophone category.
It consists of a thin wooden blade fixed in a wooden block (often attached to a tripod), which holds one or more contact microphones. Normally, it is played by bowing the free end, but it can also be struck or plucked, which propagates sound in the same way a ruler halfway off a table does. These vibrations then continue to the wooden-block bass, which in turn is amplified by the contact microphone(s) therein. A wide range of voice-like timbres can be produced, depending on the shape of the instrument, the type of wood, where it is bowed, and where along its length it is stopped with a separate block of wood (fretted on one side) called the "dax."
Reichel has documented the construction of the instrument in a way that a skilled woodworker could build his own. Plans are downloadable from his website, with the nice twist that a collection of proven shapes for the blade is delivered in the file format of a font, thus playing on Reichel's other profession as a typeface designer.
Daxophone is one of the stupidest instrument i have ever seen! Congratulations!
