Various Artists: A Progressive Rock Band's Foray into Recording Original Music

In Arts Humanities Social Sciences Capstone Projects

Description

Various Artists is Olin's premier (and only!) progressive rock band. The group has performed numerous covers of popular and obscure music before, but this capstone project is their first foray into recording original music. Core members Kris Groth, Jea Young Park, and Zach del Rosario composed, recorded, and mixed three pieces over the course of Spring 2014, which are archived here. The piece "Red Disciple" (del Rosario) is a throwback to the simple days of early progressive rock, focusing on simple arrangements, a riff-based writing style, and dynamic time signature changes. "Full Commotion" (Park) is inspired by electronic music, especially drum and bass electronica, and features complex vocal layering. Finally, "Memories" (Groth) is a sweeping composition that melds strange time signatures, flowing melodies, and cold hard rock. The pieces archived here could be described overall as 'pretty dope.'

Description

This project includes recordings and lecture notes from a lecture recital which included the following works: 1. Prelude and Fugue in b-flat minor from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. The notes discuss different tuning systems, or temperaments, and their significance during Bach’s time. 2. The Long, Long Winter’s Night, Autumn Evening at the Millhouse, and Langeleik-lat from Fifty Folktunes from Hardanger by Geirr Tveitt. The notes discuss the unique aspects of folk music from Hardanger. 3. No. 3, Ballade from Six Pieces Op. 118 by Johannes Brahms. 4. Sonata in A Major D.664 by Franz Schubert. The notes discuss the sonata form and why musicians of the 19th century and beyond were so attracted to it.
