This is a cute poster though i did not get that why it is related with lobster.
Some people are cool because they are superbly good at engaging others into conversation, but some are because they keep others engaged while they virtually involved with themselves.
I went to Casa Nueva the other day, and heard one DJ (Disk Jockey) playing there, which fascinated me. DJs are those who play recorded music for the audience. However, demonstrated by the name, DJs can also be seen as those who playing with the disks, at least as i understand. This process of playing was so much fun, and i, for one time, consider learning it. However, when i realized how much it may cost to have the equipment, i put this whimsical idea off to my wish list for the first-month salary.
My favorite part about the two DJs are their movements on the disks as shown in the pictures below and the musical effects they produced - delay, reverb, octave, chorus etc. These are the professional words i have just learned, and i prefer a more understandable way-- it's the playing with the transformation from one music to the other, either through the repetition of the former part, or through the distortion of the original sound, and the slowing down or speeding up of the rhythm in in one song that stands the sound out.
It is somewhat differnt playing in Casa and in Front Room. For me, DJs are freespirited. A restaurant like Casa is more spacious and fit for DJs because everyone enjoys the music while nobody really focuses. This is like the "polite eye avoidance" in elevator when you are along with someone else. Attention under that circumstance is not needed and is weird if paid too much. In Front Room where there are not so many people, and some of them are really paying attention, DJ may not perform the best they can since they are actually distracted.
This DJ focuses more on the adjustment of the rhythm in one song.
This DJ pays more attention to the transformation from one music to the other.
I think DJs are fascinating as well. It's a true gift to be able to mix different kinds of music together and make a new sound. But I would've liked you to talk more about the particular DJ who performed at the Front Room because it's a much different venue than a bar scene like Casa.

ReplyDeleteYour pictures add so much to your story.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to know your audience pretty well, and address their needs.
Is there anywhere where I can find information about all upcoming listed in one place?
Do you mean list of activities taking place in Front Room? If that, you can go to OU home page, and go into "current student", and then click "Baker Center music, movie & culture"
