Maybe the English romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who first gave expression to the idea of an avant-garde artists at the forefront of innovation, saying that “Poets are the legislators of the world unaknowledged,” although it is likely that the first use of the term in an artistic sense rather than military, was made by the French philosopher Henri Saint-Simon socialist in 1825 in his “opinions littéraires, et Industrielles Philosophiques of.”
From there, the Paris of the 1830s, following the July Revolution, there was what could be a seminal avant-garde are mentioned in the form of the Jeunes-France, a group of young writers turbulent romantic (also called the Bousingos the press, apparently after a night of debauchery fallen by some of its members), whose leading figures in Théophile Gautier fire long before he was a bona fide classic of French literature, and dandy cultivated and eccentric characters to shock the bourgeoisie or middle class standard, while inclined to radicalism, but that does not mean that radical politics must of necessity lead, though very often in the course of history struggle with what is seen as bourgeois tradition.
Needless to say, perhaps, the prototype of the Parisian avant-garde 1830 owes an incalculable debt to the Romantic movement former English and German, which is both the myth of the artist as a tormented genius promote existing on the edge of respectable society, if not as a bohemian dandy who often have difficulty producing the revolutionary genius of the darkest conditions, known as la vie de Boheme, Bohemian lifestyle, and eternally confronted with the bourgeois respectability.
The Bohemian was so named because it is seen as a gypsy, Roma is not a real course, but a gypsy existing artistic or spiritual poverty in a state of picturesque, the gypsies who was once considered by the French emerged from the former central European nation of Bohemia, while today it is generally accepted that the roots of Roma is ancient in India. The two great 19th century Bohemian Paris, the left bank as a whole, including the Latin Quarter and Montparnasse and Montmartre, which exploded on the international scene at the end of the century when the first literary work to celebrate the Bohemian way of life was the famous “Scenes of Bohemian Life,” published in 1845 and author Henri Murger Bohemia based on their firsthand experience with the Paris of his day. It was based on Puccini’s opera “La Boheme”, and now the musical “Rent” to form. Later included bohemian London Chelsea and Greenwich Village in New York.
The first wave of Bohemia finally produced decadent, and the great Symbolist movement in art, both established in 1880, although he had many predecessors, before the spirit of art can be said to have succeeded as never before in the form of artistic and cultural phenomenon massively influential and truly international known as modernism, which was the point of maximum intensity around 1890 to 1930, shake the land of birth such as works of Picasso Les Demoiselles d’Avignon ‘(1907), Stravinsky “Rite of Spring” (1913), TS Eliot “The Waste Land” (1922) and James Joyce’s “Ulysses” (1922), and such diverse movements as Expressionism, Cubism and Dadaism. If modernity is, in addition to art, iconoclastic parallel developments in philosophy, psychology, science, etc, modernist agenda, fueled necessarily take into account, this program is quite contrary to the Christian components of the tissue Western civilization, according to some authorities, and not the substance of his argument.
. Other critics have seen as modernity made by the avant-garde, rather than derived from it, which is like a ghost rather than a movement as such, has its roots in the Enlightenment call that began towards the end of the 17th century and lasted until 1789, the year of the French Revolution, producing great rebellion in the name of reason raised against Christianity, others a little further back in the depths of Western history, the Renaissance and the rebirth of classical antiquity.
Modernism and the avant-garde was a decrease in intensity in the years before World War II, while the post-war era brought a renewed activity by movements such as the beating of New York, San Francisco and elsewhere, Lyricist and Paris, the pace of the first avant-garde movement.
One of the keys of late modernity, as I see it (and I’m not alone) is the mass acceptance of progressive iconoclasm convictions once considered the domain of the avant-garde, particularly with regard to the Christian tradition of morality, process that can be said to have accelerated in 1955-’56, when both the Beat movement and the new popular music rolling the rock ‘n forged from the Rhythm and Blues, Rockabilly and simple people, started strong march the mainstream. About ten years later, this process can reasonably be said to have suffered greater acceleration from the pop brilliance of first innoxiousness lose, so maybe moving to Rock, a more diverse music, which went to the range of Most nursery rhymes chart, lyrically and musically complex compositions resulting in a considerable debt to classical music but also jazz and other popular forms of no music. Subsistence or suggested that Rock, an international language of the mid-sixties, and one who was to disseminate the values traditionally considered morally unconventional artistic movement like no other before him, the spirit of the message of the new permissive societies around the world, and thus contribute to the transformation of Western society, the most powerful rock artists to achieve through the popular culture of consumers a degree of influence that previous generations of innovative artists in the high single culture dreamed. That said, the rock was only one of many elements of the social revolution, the spirit of the sixties and was compiled later.
The hip counterculture that had raised awareness in the United Kingdom in late 1960 he began to lose about 73, to the extent that three or four years later, “Hippie” was an insult to some members of the punk rebellion. Fortunately, God had other plans for me.

There are so many different brands and models of microphones drums, a long, drawn-out process of investigation seems necessary before making a purchase. In most cases, the more money you spend, the drum sounds best through a full sound system, or a shooting situation, though it spends on the microphone battery, which will be drums do not sound better than they sound! By this I mean:
* If your battery was $ 200, an expensive set of drum microphones will not necessarily make them sound like a mic’d drum workshop.
* If your battery is not properly adjusted, is an expensive set of drum microphones is not going to help.
* Drum mic placement is a very important factor in reproducing the sound of your acoustic drums.
* Finally, in most cases, the key, the highest use, drum kit with better sound in the market, and the best set of microphones, but if you play a live show and speakers are par, or sound system has no EQ, Crossover, or a good amplifier rated power, the drums do not sound better.
The placement of the microphone battery is crucial to the sound of his own drum. Microphones clips that fit on the edge are convenient, and for the most part, the angle of the microphone and the point in the right direction. If no bottom head is present, test the microphone in the drum pointing at the center of the batter head.
If you have a kick drum microphone, there are different ways to achieve a good sound, it’s more about man’s preference drummer / sound. In most cases, people will put the microphone directly in the middle of the drum inside, pointed directly at the application site. Trying nearer the hole in the head resonance, the time to get the microphone head in half and half hole hype. This makes all the air in the drum in a hurry, around the microphone when the kick is the same, creating a perfect balance, in my opinion, the “click” and “tree”. Experiment with this, as all drummer has a different flavor of how they want their drum sounds.
The drum is another complicated drum microphone, as the hype. Ideally the top and bottom heads are mic’d However, I moved to the summit. Shure SM57 mics are still one of the best microphones to use when micing the box. (The top and bottom of each microphone somehow cancels the most typical situations. A certain delay is necessary) as micing the top, turn the microphone towards the center of the head, and move the microphone away and the nearest the drum to find the optimum point of the battery. I have some success with this method of micing the drum for live shows and studio, and none of the methods in the stone. If you have access to a studio (or studio equipment such as a Presonus interface) experiment is just a game!

So the question arises where the” rock and roll “really started and become a dominant force in the musical cultures around the world. I try to go back in time and history and origin of “Rock and Roll” to discover.
It is likely that more than fifty years since the first “Rock and Roll” album was recorded. However, with the help of archives, much information is available, and hopefully not be too difficult for the history and origin of “Rock and Roll” to determine.
First, there is a reasonable definition of “Rock and Roll” are. How can we distinguish between art music and jazz, blues, country, opera or “Rock and Roll.” Having evaluated numerous articles on the subject is as reliable as a WP article on the subject. WP and seems to have a concise and accurate RR founding artists involved and the history and origin of the RR. It is clear that the first use of the term “Rock and Roll” in the public forum was created by Alan Freed, a Cleveland, Ohio disc jockey, who later organized and promoted some of the first concerts of RR, which consists of a series of RR early groups, together with another rhythm and blues groups in the 1950′s. (See WP A. Freed)
Many say the first track of RR have recorded was done by Big Joe Turner “Pete roll them,” a jazz song with a piano boogie happy. (1939) others find Ike Turner record “Rocket 88″ (1951) Sam Phillips’ Sun Records. even considering the other (1954) recording of Bill Haley and the Comets “Rock Around the Clock”, a rock version of the first big band recording of RR. And other points of Elvis Presley (1954) record That’s All Right Mama “, as the first song recorded true RR. And you can not ignore the Little Richard piano, boogie mid-1950.
As the son of Paul Burlison (WP), a rockabilly pioneer RR of Rock and Roll Trio (WP), I have a series of recordings of the trio has recorded (1953 “Do not know” and 1956 “Train kept A Rollin ‘) . The trio of rock and roll, a good example of how a group of countries started with a rockabilly style in early 1950. The trio’s songs have been covered by bands like The Yardbirds, Aerosmith, Led Zeppel, The Stray Cats, Los Lobos, Rod Stewert, and even the Beatles, to name a few ..
During the 1950s, about one in Memphis, Tennessee, the trio of rock and roll hillbilly balance of payments and other groups run the local honkytonks concert weekend. And many of the early rockabilly artists began experimenting with a new sound while playing in the Jamboree on Saturday night in Memphis, playing the audience during performances Goodwyn and Saturday in the 1950, created what became the rockabilly. (See WP-Rockabilly)
The music of the South in the 1950s, the basic jazz, country ballads and slow for most blues songs. The Jitterbug was a fast dance that usually the prelude music for the dance band was great during the war and continued until the 1950′s. It is safe to say that even Elvis was influenced by the principles of rockabillers Memphis (as songs of blues, country and gospel at the time). Rockabillers usually early jam sessions (including future members of the band of Elvis Scotty Moore and Bill Black) had been in and around Hume High School, where Elvis lived in the basement of Lauderdale Courts Apts .. where Elvis grew up as an early adolescent. (See Rock and Roll Trio-WP)
After reading the material on the subject and listen to recordings of early rock, I think it will be clear that developed RR from all forms of music available to the founding of the artist, like jazz, country, blues, gospel and big band swing music. A common denominator is an optimistic version / uptempo of music that “rocks.” RR is doing (in her rocking chair or on the dance floor), and RR must first understand the rock and roll aspect in the context of the dances of the era of disco dancing the Jitterbug.
The first truly unified presentation of “Rock N ‘Roll”, the band can be found in numerous rockabilly groups that formed in the 1950 mid-and late. You sound like a unified rockabilly bands such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Burnette Trio and see the Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry (1953-1956), followed by the artist as Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Billy Lee Riley , (1957-1959) and many more.
In the late fifties rockabilly had run its course. Many of the problems with the rockabilly was the fact that many parents objected to the suggestive language of the new sound and a large number of radio stations had problems playing some of these jobs rockabilly artist, despite the fact that today are considered classics RR .
I sincerely hope that the untimely death of Buddy Holly is an important contribution to the demise of rockabilly was. Rockabilly with teens had their own music, and with all the nuances rebels everywhere. Many adults have suggested that the relative risk was the devil’s music and now with the death of these stars, teens at the time, probably took a step back in their newly discovered music and rebellion, at least until the British invasion. As an artist like Bobby Vinton, Paul Anka, Franky and Johnny Burnette Avalon (the famous trio) produced some classic ballads and popular teen integrated security accompaniment of violins, backing singers and great orchestras known band in the style of Frank Sinatra , Dean Martin, Perry Como, Tony Bennett and a number of early Irish ballad. Followed by many, many other British bands like The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, etc..
The interesting fact about the British group is that they are all mostly have their roots in southern Mississippi Delta Blues and Rockabilly. And this British rock group in the example of his early rockabilly music / Blues sounds and texts of the 1940 and 1950. (See WP of these artists) is clear, after the British invasion of 1960 and mid 1960 to the present, there are tens of thousands of bands that the music scene.
What was so attractive to the rockers of the 1960s rockabilly that a small group of a singer rhythm guitar, a bassist, an electric guitar and a drummer, a garage and find the music. You could create a catchy sound that could play in the local club, dancing people and make a little money to spend.
Having said all that, what was the first rock and roll song. This figure more than all the songs mentioned, had the greatest direct impact and influence on rock and roll. For ‘That’s All Right Mama “, RR began to show his face in the music of big band swing, rhythm and blues, boogie and hillbilly balance of payments. However, the unique sound and a new recording of Elvis in 1954 a new genre of music alive and kicking (Rock and Roll, a song to dance, listen and enjoy)
Within one year of the 1954 Elvis recording that everyone knew three chords on a guitar was in a band and change their hairstyles, especially in the south, where the release of 1954 was a great success, and where most of rockabillers development. As was done in 1954, rockabilly, Elvis ’1954 started recording a new much higher level (Rock and Roll). Groups of rockabilly (the first rock groups) were made by dozens of others to follow what Elvis had what can be done with rockabilly rockabilly craze was born and almost night vision. And, as discussed more rockabilly than any other form of music was the most important influence on contemporary rock and roll artists that followed and continues today.
Of course, after “That’s right mom,” Elvis was an international hit with “Hound Dog” in 1956, everyone wanted to know more about Elvis and rockabilly the new stars are Elvis’ followed. And the sound of early rock still heard in contemporary rock artists of today.

And if you go into a major studio or do it yourself with a laptop and an audio application, there are some specific things that the guitar can do to make the whole process is faster and better sound.
1. The use of new tracks – you want your guitar sound that is best, even if you work with an imitation of the mark of the Korean copy of a beginning. Usually the day of my new recording. If you do a lot of recording on a regular basis, make sure to change every one to two weeks. Otherwise, you end up with different strings sound different takes of a song, making it harder for future editing.
2. Tune in every shot – On a similar note, you should vote for any guitar whatsoever. Additional rare if I register at home. His guitar, probably not like the tone, but keep it sophisticated, yet again, the editing is much easier later in the mixing process.
3. Pre-production – Pre-production is a fancy word for you to have some leeway here if you work in a home studio, but if you pay for studio time, he wants to come and go as fast “of practice before get there.. ” possible. Rules will be strengthened and that all natural changes occur, so you get the best performance on tape. It’s like the song in marinade before cooking.
Once made the mistake of including a whole song in the key of G. We then discover that I could not sing in the key of G. You can bet it took a couple of dollars. Learn from my boo-boos young padawan.
What about the guitar solos? If you’re the type who likes to put their own, make sure you’ve done before in the study. If you want to “crack fly, it’s great to have. But make sure your improvised solo on that number at least 100 times before recording.
4. Release non-essential mix effects - filter the signal going on the board, the space you have to make changes later in the editing and mixing. You want to have a good basic sound is recorded and can be sticky reverb and delay to be added later. Perhaps saturation or distortion when using a good amplifier and you want the amp to capture the sound. A true Marshall sound even better than a Marshall-style cap. If you have a wah pedal, it is likely that the original signal because it is a real-time effect.
Although I will say if you have a pedal you do not have a power play, then takes the original signal. But the inclusion of a completely clean pedal regardless if they do not like later.
5. Maintain saturation / distortion down – crunchy is good. But when you’ve jacked too high, the distortion sound like white noise when recording. It will be a thin sound and get lost in the mix. As a result, allows the engineer to guide you. Especially if you’re new to recording and you can afford an engineer with experience, knowledge and allow you to help focus your guitar tone.
6. Small amplifiers can sound great - You do not have a wall of the Mesa Boogie stacks for big guitar sound during recording. Some of the main sounds of the tape is made with small amplifiers. Giant amplifiers are used to high volume. If the amp sounds good by itself that can work from there and still sound great.
If you have a larger amplifier, a 4×12, only the best microphone speaker resonance. Placing the microphone near the center of the speaker cone offers a brighter sound. Moving the microphone to the edge is smoothed.
7. Using two microphones – a close, a moment – If you’re in a good room or a studio sound, this gives a nice natural reverb, can be mixed with the dry signal. Place the second microphone about 5 meters from the amplifier. If your room does not sound too hot, or just do not like the sound of, then you can always trash the extra reverb track.
8. Double track to thicken – this is the equivalent of a studio wall of Marshalls. If you want a big fat sound, double track guitar parts. While you can just copy and paste work, small variations in the performance of several shots that really work well to the meat. Whole Hog or go to the old trick of Metallica tracks 30-40 layers of guitar itself. Just make sure the rest of the instruments are not lost in the mix. (Wink)
Learn to make a recording studio is a learning curve, like learning to play live.
