These definitions are important because they allows us to understand Ben Ratliff's reasoning behind The first thing that I want to clarify is that he makes it clear that these are not musical elements, in fact he states that these are concepts. This means that in sense they become abstract and subjective to individual interpretation. The constantly changing motion in the music is what creates the connection from Point A to point B and from point B to point C. In the following analysis I will try to explain these qualities from on of the most elaborate pieces from Ratliff's list. In addition on the right I will provide my own example but mine will be a more simple example that way everything is clear. On the left I will discuss Donald Lawrence & Company feat. Dorinda Clark-Cole-Your Righteous Mind]]> 2017-11-27 01:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eduardogomezmendoza/pm82h3vnh9sn/wish/210234187 eduardogomezmendoza https://padlet.com/eduardogomezmendoza/pm82h3vnh9sn/wish/210241636 Is song is actually very complicated in the sense that characteristics described in the book are hard found in the song. Transitions are not smooth and if anything are unclear. But this song is in the playlist for a different reason. Exclusivity is the key concept in this piece. When you look at the context of the song we see that its more religious. This means that its exclusive to those who share the same religion or christianity. This exclusivity creates a bond with those who have the same religion and in return creates the feeling of Happiness. ]]> 2017-11-27 02:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eduardogomezmendoza/pm82h3vnh9sn/wish/210241636 eduardogomezmendoza https://padlet.com/eduardogomezmendoza/pm82h3vnh9sn/wish/210243270 The other concept described in Ben Ratliff's book is that of linkage. This song is the perfect example of linking two points/ sections in a song together because its actually very easy to see and understand the transitions. The Dj Deadmau5 structures Ghosts n Stuff in a way that it builds on it self as the song progresses, a perfect example of the transitions from Point A to Point B. This song starts simple with a singe instrument changing pitch. Then the base and percussion. Then the rhythm changes ever so slightly and more electronic and violin sounds are added. These transitions are so smooth that it seems that its made to be that way and only that way. ]]> 2017-11-27 03:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/eduardogomezmendoza/pm82h3vnh9sn/wish/210243270
