snow girl ’s protagonist is not li bingbing ’s titular porcelain - white spirit . instead , the lead character is zhong kui ( chen kun ) , the fabled demon hunter legendary as much for his ghost - busting abilities as his hideous appearance . his bearded mug is right there from the beginning when he is seen fleeing with the dark crystal , a vessel said to contain the spirits of all mortals . it’s a mission overseen by zhong’s mentor , master zhang ( winston chao ) , in a move to prevent hell’s soldiers from invading the living world . zhang helps zhong develop the ability to transform himself into a powerful ogre – which , zhang says , reveals zhong’s darker , inner self .
deity zhang daoxian ( winston chao ) volunteers to save the city , and sends his protege zhong kui ( chen ) to hell to steal the dark crystal , a receptacle for the captured souls that also serves as a database of every demon’s merits and demerits . zhong , who believes he’s been singled out by heaven to vanquish evil and injustice , stoically endures corporal pain and spiritual torment to master demon - slaying techniques . his relationship with zhang takes on faustian undertones as the mentor helps him unleash his raging alter ego . meanwhile , the demon king defrosts the snow spirit xueqing ( li , “transformers 4” ) and dispatches her to hu city to reclaim the crystal . arriving with a caravan of demons disguised as a persian erotic dance troupe , she mesmerizes zhong , who believes she is his lost love , little snow .

legendary chinese anti - hero zhong kui , a young man endowed with mysterious powers who is forced into a battle among the realms of heaven , earth and hell in the course of his attempt to save his countrymen and the woman he loves .
an accomplished , well - established filmmaker with a colorful career of his own , peter pau might possibly loathe being associated with ang lee , with whom he worked – and won an academy award – on the paradigm - shifting crouching tiger hidden dragon . but the hong kong cinematographer’s first directorial effort in 13 years ( and third in total ) does mirror – if inadvertently – his erstwhile taiwanese collaborator’s work : snow girl and the dark crystal injects a chinese folk hero with narrative elements from the incredible hulk , and is effective enough in its fusion of visual effects and story .

all movies has it ' s flaws , but besides that , snow girl and the dark crystal is a visually - pleasing movie . the cgi isn ' t perfect , but it does its job . it most certainly is better than other chinese movies when it comes to the animations . the story is mostly a drama / fantasy surrounding the subject of heaven and hell , demons and gods . i didn ' t really enjoy the movie at the start , but i ' m glad i watched through the entire film . the movie itself is good , and the story line stays interesting and entertaining . i would definitely recommend trying this movie out especially if you love mythical creatures .
starting with the same premise as just about every other chinese supernatural fantasy , “snow girl and the dark crystal” is set in a universe where deities , demons and mortals uneasily coexist . once every millennium , demons get the chance to reincarnate as humans , or even upgrade to celestial status . as the date draws near , jade emperor ( pau ) worries that all hell will literally break loose . true enough , hu city , a fringe town on the silk road , has already been raided by demons who have sucked dry the souls of many inhabitants .
when the white fox spirit falls for a naïve mortal girl , his loyalties are tested in the clash between humans and demons . ( mandarin with english subtitles )
the appearance of snow girl – a femme fatale from hell , arriving in zhong’s border outpost town as the lead performer of a titillating dance troupe – kindles zhong’s memories of a past relationship , when he was a handsome scholar preparing for an examination that would propel him toward power . these episodes , revealed in flashback , evoke that old cliché of a man trading in his bright future for cynicism because of a lost love .
the casino movie , from bona film , was written and directed by wong jing and also features nick cheung and carina lau .
more compelling is the screenplay’s nuanced insight into human foibles , and how the three realms mirror existing social hierarchies . zhong kui was a demigod in chinese mythology whose bearded , plug - ugly countenance was scary even to ghouls ; taking liberties with the myth , the film’s hero is a handsome scholar whose noble ideals come into conflict with worldly corruption and the temptations of the flesh . though he vows to be celibate so he can devote himself to serving his country , it doesn’t take long for him to end up in a hot tub with little snow , especially with her purring , ”i have low body temperature . ”
a 3d fantasy adventure about a demon slayer who becomes smitten with , erm , a demon , “snow girl and the dark crystal” comes up with a splashy , game - influenced visual look new to this popular chinese genre . however , the decision to binge on cgi action setpieces overwhelms the romantic spark of the central characters , played by impossibly beautiful leads li bingbing and aloys chen kun , while the film’s themes of class division , human desire and hypocrisy find darker , more riveting expression only toward the end . co - helmed by hong kong lenser peter pau and mainland director zhao tianyu , the film came in third among eight domestic films released for chinese new year , grossing $ 10 . 8 million in two days . with the clout of its overseas co - producers village roadshow asia and warner bros . , it could generate reasonably more international buzz than other asian genre fare ; a north american 3d release kicks off friday .
david wu ’s editing contributes much to the film’s flow between past and present while keeping the ultimate truth under wraps . but it’s pau’s visual talent , both in terms of his work as dp and also in supervising visual effects , that brings weight to snow girl . this could be seen as another reminder of the technical expertise of hong kong film professionals , what with pau and wu joined by production designers kenneth mak and lam waikin and costume designer shirley chan . with loose ends aplenty , a sequel seemingly awaits — perhaps a test of the crew’s mettle in pushing this whole concept forward .

the strongest performance actually comes from the commanding chao , who infuses an ostensibly meritorious role with subtle layers . during a crucial dramatic turn , he takes hold of the scene with just the faintest shift in expression , vividly conveying the mindset of a petty official sent by the central government to meddle in county affairs . as zhong’s sister ling and her fiancee du ping , respectively , yang zishan and bao beier buzz in and out , providing barely noticeable comic relief . jike summer exudes mystery in the role of xueqin’s quasi - sapphic sidekick .

the yarn is almost at an end before it emerges that some of the narrative obscurities are in fact building up to a neat revelation . zhong’s origins , which most chinese know , are reconfigured into a self - searching saga , setting in motion an epic showdown with a human resonance beyond the sheer eye - popping mayhem .
beijing enlight pictures has also joined the project as a co - financier and china co - distributor .
with its nods to the high - octane , paranormal action romances that emerged from pau’s hometown in the 1980s – mostly in its forbidden love story between a man and a non - human woman , à la a chinese ghost story or green snake – snow girl , a hit in china ( with takings of over $ 53 million since its feb . 19 release ) , should play well with a niche international audience . the film’s major fanbase might be those who liked tsui hark ’s the taking of tiger mountain , also handled by well go usa and yet another recent example of a hong kong filmmaker reshaping an existing text in the image of the city’s genre movies ( in that case , transforming a propagandistic peking opera piece into a gun - slinging gangster thriller ) .

pau , the 64 - year - old son of distinguished thesp pau fang and brother of actress nina paw , is best known for lensing “crouching tiger , hidden dragon” and “the forbidden kingdom , ” but has only directed three undistinguished films in 20 years . billed as helmer , producer and visual - effects supervisor , he has coherently streamlined 3d cinematography and ambitious visual effects into a mythological story set during the tang dynasty . yet , with $ 8 million of the $ 26 . 4 million budget poured into the vfx ( with 20 or so houses employed ) , it’s no surprise that reportedly 77 % of the production is cgi , resulting in a cold , metallic look that sometimes jars with the story’s human elements and whimsical fantasy .
ann an ( ip man 2 , tiny times , tiny times 2 ) and oscar - winning cinematographer peter pau ( crouching tiger , hidden dragon , the forbidden kingdom ) are producing . pau will also be cinematographer on the movie and supervise visual effects .
scenes of chen becoming unhinged are so hysterical that they border on camp ; doubling as the cross - dressing demon king , he delivers a kitschy homage to “swordsman ii . ” as xueqing , li is like a sexualized elsa with a subtly insinuating maleficent streak . but despite her ability to enliven even schmaltz like “snow flower and the secret fan , ” li is hamstrung by having to play two separate yet practically identical roles without any depth .
while pau has certainly achieved a lot on the technical front , what the production needs is a topnotch production designer like william chang or tim yip to give its aesthetic a touch of class . as for zhao , his contributions include helming the “drama” scenes and serving as one of six writers , though the resulting screenplay is a bit deficient in structure and dramatic flair .
the top movie in china for the month was chow yun - fat starrer the man from macau ii , which brought in $ 104 million , followed by historical action movie dragon blade , starring jackie chan , john cusack and adrien brody , which accumulated $ 95 million during the month .
the lunar new year holiday led to the country ' s biggest box - office month with $ 650 million , making it the top film market in the world for february , according to research firm entgroup .
village roadshow and warner bros will have a “significant participation” in the film ' s global revenues , including those earned in mainland china , village roadshow said at the shanghai international film festival .
the film is now in production and is set for release on feb . 19 , chinese new year , a big date for moviegoers .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
winston chao , yang zishan , bao bei - er and jike junyi are also starring .
disney scored a double whammy atop the chinese box office with cinderella opening in top spot after a day - and - date release with the u . s . , while oscar winner big hero 6 was in second place .
other chinese co - financiers include kun’s production company k . pictures and shenzhen - based wu’s entertainment .
for a high - profile international co - production that also brought china’s major film companies such as wanda media and beijing enlight pictures onboard , it seems a gamble for desen intl . media , which produced and released the film , to bank on a hong kong helmer who’s more recognized as an ace d . p . and an untested mainland helmer whose only feature film credits are a flimsy drama anthology ( “the law of attraction” ) and a low - budget culinary thriller ( “deadly delicious” ) . their bet has only partly paid off .
compared with other similar period fantasies that play it safe for family audiences , such as “the white haired witch of lunar kingdom , ” the love scenes have a racy frivolity , enhanced by fine chemistry between li and chen . nevertheless , their characters’ relationship is largely recounted through disjointed flashbacks ( not improved by david wu’s mechanical editing ) , unfolding in a piecemeal fashion that lacks any grand emotional sweep . nor is there enough of the wit and character complexity that lent dramatic heft to the likes of “painted skin : the resurrection” ( also starring chen ) .

tech credits are visibly superior to those of recent big - budget chinese costume fantasies , though the 3d effects don’t look as sharp or vibrant as they ought to at the mainland screening caught . the shadow of the “ring” franchise hangs heavily over the early inferno visions , but production designers kenneth mak and lam wei - kin gradually evolve their own visual style , fusing futuristic cyber - elements with classical chinese aesthetics . jacky yeung’s robust and wide - ranging action sequences consciously break away from traditional martial - arts choreography , while shirley chan’s magnificent costumes , enhancing li’s voluptuousness , will take couturiers to fabric heaven .

not everyone has time to train at the physiologically optimal time . however , for most people this is just an excuse . “not having time” to train actually means “i value training less than the thing i’ll do instead” . the things you make time for are the things you prioritize . in dutch , the word for priority is pronounced as the dutch equivalent of ‘prioritime’ . time equals priority .
it turns out that our tresillo rhythm is an example of a euclidean rhythm . we can generate it by plugging in the number of pulses and steps into bjorklund ' s algorithm :
swung pattern : here ' s the same rhythm we heard before , this time with quite a pronounced swing quantization value selected .

the second strategy to increase your performance when training at a suboptimal training time is to make sure you always train at that time . your body will adapt its circadian rhythm to the morning training stress and reduce the performance decrements at that time [ 1 , 2 ] .
you can find rhythm from external sounds just as you can find pitch . this can be found in conversation , maybe it’s a construction site where something’s being hammered . everything has rhythm , you’ve just got to listen out for it . so you can find contour , pitch , and rhythm from simple things around you . that’s the basis for a melody . endless ideas are at your fingertips ! what are you waiting for ?
in common time , which is four over four or four beats per measure , you ' ll intuitively count the beats out like . . .
we can define both a custom target rhythm as well . in addition , neither original _ rhythm nor target _ rhythm have to be fibonacci rhythms for the stretch algorithm to work ( although with this implementation they do both have to have the same number of pulses ) .
check out the contour on that . what i love about this melody is variation in rhythm , you’ve got this staggering arp - like a section , then a long note followed by the close of the melody in a different rhythm .
the peak performance time ( acrophase ) differs per activity . for example , swimming performance peaks a few hours later in the evening than most ground based activities . in general , endurance capacity seems to have a less pronounced circadian rhythm [ 1 , 2 ] . see the table below for an overview of the peak performance time for various studied performance measures [ 1 ] .
( we could actually try to estimate rhythmic patterns based on onsets and tempo , but that ' s for another time . )
remember earlier when i said you have to let a song breathe ? in addition to song sections changing feel and melodies switching around , you need to also vary the level of intensity throughout a song . by being a bit clever , you can achieve this in lots of different ways . one of my favorites is to drop into half - time or double time drums . it ' s rarely seen in hip - hop but you can even change tempo or time signatures . the most useful for this type of music is dropping out and bringing back different instruments . it can be as simple as dropping out high - hats for a section , dropping out the bass for a measure , or dropping out the snare .
too much variation in pitch and rhythm . consistency is key , keep it simple .
let ' s try that out with the same verse , going from an original rhythm with 8 steps ( i . e . in 4 / 4 meter ) to a target rhythm with 10 steps ( i . e . in 5 / 4 meter ) :
you might want to use a kick drum or a metronome when working on the rhythm for your melody . here’s how mine sounds so far :
what kind of magic is going on here ? why would the time of day affect how much muscle you gain after a workout ? it’s because of your circadian rhythm .
richard gere plays a near - invisible homeless new yorker with a sad , precarious life in oren moverman ' s “time out of mind , ” which opens on wednesday .
human voice has pitch , birds chirp with a certain pitch . take time to just listen and find the melodies that are being composed in every day life . they’re more obvious than you think . listen out for melodies in :
what is the true meaning of the lyrics ? it’s been interpreted as an allegory for safe sex… it originated when i was getting kicked out of clubs for pogoing – for hitting the dance floor whenever they payed blondie’s ‘heart of glass’ or the b52s’ ‘rock lobster’ .
want to learn how to turn great melodies into full songs ? check out my book .
this is the chronological , or time , order of events in a reading passage .
in addition , the initially disappointing results of using naive time - stretch also indicate the importance of considering different perceptual levels of rhythm . we explored a solution using subdivision of pulses , but haven ' t dealt with perceptual levels of rhythm in a rigorous manner at all .

after identifying the scale you want to create your melody in , you need to come up with the rhythm for your melody . you see , melody isn’t just a succession of notes . it’s a rhythmic succession of notes . rhythm is extremely important in melody . don’t neglect it .

and as mentioned before , we ' ll use bjorklund ' s algorithm to generate the target pulse ' s rhythm . the trick here is to use the number of steps in the original pulse as the number of pulses for the target pulse rhythm ( hence the conversion to onsets earlier ) :
you can hear that the tresillo rhythm ' s pulses line up with the harmonic rhythm of

. . . we can see that this makes sense , as we ' re time - stretching the first two pulses by the same amount , and then time - stretching the last pulse by a different amount .
this gets to the heart of the problem : when we time - stretch an entire pulse this way , we retain the original pulse ' s internal rhythm , essentially creating a polyrhythm in the target pulse ' s step ( i . e . metrical ) structure . even though we ' re time - stretching each pulse , we don ' t hear a difference because everything within the pulse gets time - stretched by the same amount .
basically what we want to do is : for each pulse , get the audio chunk that maps to that pulse , and time - stretch it based on our calculated pulse ratios .

at this point it’s time for you to refer back to the contour line you drew ( or thought of ) and change around some notes until you find something that rings with you . don’t feel like you have to follow your contour line exactly . if something sounds out of place , fix it .
finally , i could see this stretch method being used in the context of a digital audio workstation ( daw ) , with both the symbolic meter data for a project and the raw audio signal for a track being modified . if embedded directly into a daw , this would open up possibilities for rapid experimentation of rhythm in a music production setting .

similarly , plugging in different patterns for the original _ rhythm and target _ rhythm parameters yielded differing results , with some seeming more closely related to others . it ' s possible that there are some underlying rhythmic principles that more clearly explain how the relationship between the original and target rhythms affects how we perceive the stretched result .
however , with meticulous circadian rhythm control using supplementation , light therapy and consistent nutrition and training , you can shift your optimal training time greatly and you can achieve comparable results when training in the morning compared to training later in the day .

time out , the hit 1959 album by the dave brubeck quartet , was one of the first popular jazz works to explore meters beyond the traditional 4 / 4 and 3 / 4 . ( the first number , which is the top number of the time signature in sheet music , represents the number of beats in the measure , and the second number represents the note value that receives one beat . 4 / 4 means that there are four beats and a quarter note lasts for one beat , yielding four quarter notes in each measure . )

there are a ton of avenues to explore further , some of which we ' ve touched upon . for example , some of the most interesting results came from stretching a track so that the performance was converted from one meter to another ( e . g . 6 / 8 to 5 / 4 ) . sometimes this occurred as a happy coincidence of fibonacci stretch , but most of the time we had to pass in custom original _ rhythm and target _ rhythm parameters . i think it would be worthwhile to explore a version of the stretch method that could convert meter a to meter b without explicitly defining the rhythm patterns .

• your circadian rhythm is a 24 hour cycle of biological activity set by your internal clock . your sleep - wake cycle is one of many systems influenced by your circadian rhythm . • your hormonal milieu , gene expression and core body temperature have a circadian rhythm . together , they result in peak physical condition to train and recover in the late afternoon to early evening for most individuals . • the best time to work out is generally between 14 : 30 and 20 : 30 h if you have a regular sleep - wake cycle . • you can determine the optimal time to train by monitoring your maximum resting heart rate and training performance . some people do just fine training in the morning . • if you can’t train when your body is primed to do so , supplement with caffeine pre - workout and schedule your workouts when you can always train . getting in your workouts in the first place is of course always more important than when you do them .

even swing values won ' t give you a natural sense of timing , though . just as no musician can play every single note in a perfectly straight rhythm , they ' re no more likely to be able to play every note of a swung rhythmic pattern locked to a groove , either . natural timing variations in performance are a huge part of what makes rhythm sound natural , and it ' s worth bearing this in mind if you want to build grooves that sound less machine - like . the temptation when programming beats and even basslines is to input notes via step - time , or to immediately reach for quantization to eradicate any sense of natural timing . however , by recording in real time and holding back on ironing out timing inadequacies , you can bring a much more personal sense of groove to your tracks .

based on the circadian rhythm of your hormones , gene expression and your core body temperature , the best time to schedule your training sessions is between 14 : 30 and 20 : 30 h if you have a normal biorhythm and sleep during the night from roughly 12 : 00 – 08 : 00 h .
for those with an irregular sleep - wake cycle ( read : students ) , it’s preferable to wait at least 6 hours after awakening before training . the optimal training time will then be closer to 20 : 30 h than 14 : 30 h .
justin london is a professor of music at carleton college in minnesota who specializes in music perception and cognition , particularly with respect to musical meter . he says that brubeck actually inspired much of his research into rhythm and meter .

the rhythm section of a traditional rock & roll band refers not only to the drummer but to the relationship between drums , bass and often rhythm guitar . these instruments are responsible for providing the feel or groove of a track ' s rhythm , meaning that players need to add to the same groove , rather than create a series of different rhythmic performances that fight each other . this became particularly true when disco first gained popularity ; if you listen to performances of live disco bands like nile rodgers ' legendary chic , you ' ll hear how drums , bass and guitar swing and groove together .

when experimenting with at what time your performance is optimal , you can use your heart rate as a guideline . resting heart rate and core body temperature are strongly correlated . therefore , the time of day when your resting heart rate peaks is often the best time to train . unfortunately , simple oral or insulated axilla ( under the armpit ) temperature readings are too noisy to measure your circadian rhythm [ 2 ] . the scientific gold standard is sticking a thermometer up your ass , but that’s probably reserved for the real die - hards . as some researchers put it , “ core temperature is often measured using a rectal probe , a thermistor inserted 10 to 12 cm [ 4 to 5 inches ] past the anal sphincter . participants are not always comfortable with this site [ … ] ” .

what appealed to you about synthesizers and new wave ? for me , new wave music was a blend of progressive rock and disco . i grew up on bands like genesis and pink floyd and rick wakeman . i studied piano . i was front and centre for the disco movement . for me , new wave was prog music with a disco backbeat .
there are of course others , but i’ll exclude them for sake of popularity and use ( especially in edm ) .

one solution to this imperceptibility is to allow for the length of the modified measure to change as well . for example , a 2 - second measure with 8 steps ( 4 steps / second ) could be stretched into a 24 - second measure with 144 steps ( 6 steps / second ) . the longer time span might yield more interesting results , but it might also obscure the relationship between the modified track and the original track .

there are some limitations to the app , most prominent of which is its restriction to monophonic melodies ( one note at a time ) , meaning that harmonies are out of the question . the accuracy of the software also remains to be seen and the analysis of the recordings is performed in the cloud , meaning that you ' ll need a decent internet connection to take advantage of the app .
where can he go ? that’s one question that haunts this elusive and gentle film . another is : how did he get here ? perhaps that’s what he’s trying to figure out when he stares off into space . an adult daughter ( jena malone ) , who works in a bar , serves as a reminder — sometimes agonizing , sometimes consoling — of a different life , when george had a job , a family and a home . as the movie’s title suggests , he has lost track of the chronology that connects that past and his uprooted present . while “time out of mind” traces a few months in his life , from winter to spring , you can’t always tell how much time has passed from one scene to the next . a few minutes ? a week ? what’s the difference ?
with our knowledge of the song ' s tempo , beats , and measures , we can start bringing our symbolic rhythms into audio - land . again , let ' s work with our trusty tresillo rhythm :
pad glue : it ' s also interesting to note that your brain latches on to rhythm much more when it ' s exposed patterns like these . as our track is currently only using short , spiky percussive sounds , we ' re forced to focus on their timing , whereas if we add a sustained musical layer on top , our ear will be drawn away from rhythm alone . you can hear that here .
by the time you consider arrangement , you ' ve chosen your instrumentation already . so the question becomes not which instruments to use , but when to use them . you can ' t just start smashing them all at the same time or you ' ll just have a mess . if they all play , in unison , the same lead melody the singer is singing , then you don ' t have a song . you need to choose what purpose each instrument serves , such as harmonizing the lead melody , supporting it ' s rhythm , or bringing in the hype only in the chorus , etc .
the optimal time of day to train is not usually something that people think about , yet there is a science to optimizing your training times . by carefully planning your training schedule in accordance with your circadian rhythm , you will be stronger , faster and more powerful . after the training , you will gain more muscle . you will also increase your flexibility , reduce your chance of injuries and possibly sleep better .
yogabar is a new concept by the founder of fitness first and fit n fast that brings together food , fashion and fitness in one location . time out tried the yoga barre class , which was chock - a - block on friday lunchtime . we took our position at the ballet barre , picked up a set of hand weights as instructed and got straight into pulsing plié positions . the 45 - minute class doesn’t waste time with stretching or introductions – everyone is here to sweat as efficiently as possible before 4pm drinks at the office . it’s not for yoga or ballet purists , as the class borrows from both disciplines but at hard - core speed and to a soundtrack that includes justin bieber and calvin harris . using the pink hand weights and an inflatable ball , we adopted ballet’s first and second position to work through leg and arm repetitions – holding the barre for stability .

listening to the rendered track in part 4 . 5 , you can hear that aside from the beginning of each measure and pulse , the musical onsets in the modified track don ' t really line up with the target rhythm ' s clicks at all . thus , without the clicks , we have no way to identify the target rhythm , even though that ' s what we were using as the basis of our stretch method !
it’s one of those songs everyone knows even if they don’t know men without hats . it’s a viral thing . yeah , it’s weird . i have a lot of new fans from glee . but my son , who is a teenager now , he found out who i was when he was about seven or eight , and he found out because crazy frog did ‘safety dance’ . all of a sudden he was a celebrity at school , when his friends found out his father wrote the crazy frog song . that’s been the greatest thing : our old fans show up at our shows with their families , and everybody’s digging it . it’s really cool .
some people like having a visual counter - part to audio . i find looking at photos and scenery , even just walking outside can trigger ideas for melodies . for example , you could extract a melody contour from an object in an image ( like i’ve done here ) .

if you choose to go sparse , you have to keep things interesting by using unique sounds . pharell chose to use silly mouth sounds mixed with synths to a strange juxtaposition . but it worked . another trick is to keep your beat and rhythm the same , but change instruments , such as swapping out snares during the chorus or switching kicks halfway through a verse . the main trick to making full or sparse beats work has to do with the following section on arrangement .
two of the funnest parts of making beats is creating custom fills for the ends of sections and after you receive the vocals back from the rapper or singer . in regards to custom fills pre - vocals , go ahead and loop your song out with consistent rhythms that are predictable and repetitive . this gives the user something to lock into so they can focus on the vocals and lyrics . with familiarity you risk being boring for being memorable , but thankfully it opens up a chance to create even more interesting

with fills .
to properly map the relationship between a rhythmic sequence and an audio representation of a piece of music , we ' ll have to do some feature extraction , that is , teasing out specific attributes of the music by analyzing the audio signal .

of course , novelty is in the ear of the beholder . langham says that brubeck
was a very worldly person . within his travels he would go and hear other musicians and hear what they were doing , and he would incorporate that into his music .

brubeck picked up the rhythm from street musicians in turkey .
it seemed very natural to them to be playing in this rhythm ,

in the hustle and bustle of kings cross is a hideaway yoga studio that specialises in hot yoga and pilates with three heated studios . one studio is warmed to 21 degrees , one to 27 degrees , and the other to 37 degrees . time out tried the hot mat pilates class , which focuses on the core for 50 minutes . our class was in the 27 - degree room , which doesn’t sound warm but once we began 100 pulses in the box position we were sweating buckets . there are approximately 40 mats in each studio , and so there is lots of space to feel comfortable and have your own space to stretch . our classroom is mirrored on one side , with clear views of the city out of an expansive window at the end of the room . heating the rooms isn’t just a perk for winter , one hot yoga hold their classes at human body temperature to maximise use of muscles and to burn fat . classes taken in their hottest room are at a much slower pace in order to get deep stretches in a vinyasa yoga session .
for the performer , unusual rhythms can be a challenge .

langham says ,
but i grew up listening to dave ' s music !
joking aside , he says that the odd time signatures
don ' t allow you to play the normal riffs and ideas that you ' re so used to and comfortable doing when you ' re playing in a standard time signature .
he says that this disruption of the status quo can help musicians grow . london says that in order for the ensemble to synchronize in difficult meters , they have to use different strategies from what they usually do . they need to be more aware of the larger measure - to - measure structure of the piece , rather than just the shorter sections of the work .
