For example the song "I'll Be Seeing You" performed by Frank Sinatra emulates flow in various areas. The beginning has a​ ​lot​ ​of instruments​ ​loudly​ ​come​ ​in​ ​at​ ​the​ ​same​ ​time,​ ​but​ ​they​ ​all​ ​rest​ ​or​ ​lower​ ​their​ ​dynamics​ ​to​ ​a pianissimo​ ​at​ ​the​ ​same​ ​time​ afterwards ​to​ ​allow​ ​Sinatra​ ​to​ ​take​ ​the​ ​main​ ​stage​ ​and​ ​be​ ​heard.​ Each​ ​instance this​ ​happens​ ​is​ ​a​ ​sudden​ ​interaction​ ​with​ ​the​ ​music,​ ​but​ ​there​ ​is​ ​never​ ​empty​ ​space.​ Either​ ​Frank or​ ​the​ ​instruments​ ​have​ ​the​ ​floor​ ​to​ ​perform​ ​which​ ​keeps​ ​both​ ​from​ ​losing​ ​their​ ​worth​ ​because you​ ​can​ ​hear​ ​it​ ​while​ ​their​ ​parts​ ​flow​ ​in​ ​and​ ​out​ ​of​ ​each​ ​other.​ An​ ​article​ ​written​ ​by​ ​Raymond MacDonald,​ ​Charles​ ​Byrne,​ ​and​ ​Lana​ ​Carlton​ ​also​ ​touched​ ​on​ ​who​ ​controls​ ​certain​ ​parts​ ​of​ ​a song​ ​in​ ​the​ ​quote​ ​“flow​ ​is...the​ ​individual’s​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​control​ ​within​ ​that​ ​activity.” This helps argue the flow in this piece because the music and lyrics weave in and out of each other while taking and relinquishing control. I love this because it seems that songs nowadays have barely audible lyrics, but this song balances both good instrumentals and lyrics which is really important to me. The​ ​next​ ​verse​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​instruments​ ​stop​ ​playing​ ​the​ ​same​ ​thing​ ​they​ ​were before​ ​and​ ​do​ ​something​ ​different,​ ​but​ ​you​ ​hardly​ ​notice.​ ​The​ ​strength​ ​and​ ​dynamics​ ​of​ ​the​ ​song jump,​ ​but​ ​because​ ​of​ ​the​ ​way​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​band​ ​changes​ ​their​ ​mood​ ​in​ ​sync​ ​it​ ​feels​ ​right.​ ​It​ ​flows into​ ​the​ ​next​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​song​ ​(story),​ ​and​ ​it​ ​has​ ​a​ ​different​ ​mood.​ ​A​ ​Harvard​ ​article​ ​by​ ​Andrew Friedman​ ​supports this by saying​“The​ ​meaning​ ​partly​ ​resides​ ​in​ ​the​ ​very​ ​way​ ​one​ ​step​ ​leads​ ​to​ ​another,​ ​in​ ​other words,​ ​it’s​ ​flow.” This supports flow connecting with meaning which is a big part of our paper. ]]> 2017-12-08 21:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jarodh22/q73wsi4vzjth/wish/214655392 jarodh22 https://padlet.com/jarodh22/q73wsi4vzjth/wish/214657706 2017-12-08 21:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jarodh22/q73wsi4vzjth/wish/214657706 jarodh22 https://padlet.com/jarodh22/q73wsi4vzjth/wish/214657771 “flow​ ​is...the​ ​individual’s​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​control​ ​within​ ​that​ ​activity.” This helps argue the connection between control and flow that's emulated in "I'll Be Seeing You"]]> 2017-12-08 21:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jarodh22/q73wsi4vzjth/wish/214657771 jarodh22 https://padlet.com/jarodh22/q73wsi4vzjth/wish/214657893 “The​ ​meaning​ ​partly​ ​resides​ ​in​ ​the​ ​very​ ​way​ ​one​ ​step​ ​leads​ ​to​ ​another,​ ​in​ ​other words,​ ​it’s​ ​flow."
