The American Auld Lang Syne? "What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong - Full-Cheney Speed Report - average bpm=71.6 - mean emotion=Grace

Our contributing editor, Sarah Jane, used to pay some bills with DJ work. One year, instead of playing the classic English Auld Lang Syne, she played Satchmo's "What A Wonderful World." Need we say the response was electric. based thereon, we decided to figure out what the speed of this great song was. If you follow the dropdown menu to "graphs," you will find a category called Grace. When you look at the songs around Louis Armstrong's American original, the pattern of grace emoted speaks for itself. Res ipsa loquitor! Latin=The thing speaks for itself. Thanks for checking us out since 2004! We appreciate your time and open-mindedness very much. There are many crackpot lunatic theories on the web - so for you to have found us - our findings are counterintuitive, powerful, called "crazy"- but REAL, TRUE & FREE. We love ya!

Time In - Time Out: Practicing with a metronome to improve your

Auld Lang Syne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please improve this article if you can. (December 2007)

"Auld Lang Syne" is a song by Robert Burns (1759–1796), although similar poems by Robert Ayton (1570–1638), Allan Ramsay (1686-1757) and James Watson (1711) as well as older folk songs, use the same phrase, and predated Burns. ^[1]

In any case, it is one of the better-known songs in English-speaking countries, and it is often sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Like many other frequently sung songs, the melody is better remembered than the words, which are often sung incorrectly, and seldom in full.

The song's (Scots) title may be translated into English literally as 'old long since', or more idiomatically 'long long ago',^[2] or 'days gone by'. In his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language, Matthew Fitt uses the phrase “In the days of auld lang syne” as the equivalent of “Once upon a time”. In Scots Syne is pronounced like the English word sign — IPA: [sain] — not [zain]

The Psychology of Music Fatalism - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - speed=117.4 bpm, a tempo which predicts, with confidence, FOREBODING, HAUNTEDNESS, DOOM

What is foreboding, anyway? Courtesy of Mirriam Webster's Collegiate 11th edition: coined around 14 c.--an omen, prediction or presentiment esp. of coming evil: portend. Most useful: the descriptive word "foreboding"' is the presentiment or fortelling which indicates that the speaker/singer/musician feels an indescribable force--often, as noted, a bad omen. Then again, as anyone knows who has been in a situation where all hopes seemed dashed by a terrible sign of things to come, all matters about which you stress are resolved with a positive ending . In Kurt Cobain's case, the result was: suicide. was this song a presetiment of Kurt's blowing himself away? Hole knows.





This song by the American band Nirvana called Smells Like Teen Spirit is the ultimate, the "archetype" song in contemporary music. The song is within one beat per minute as the haunted EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE by the Police (Again, thank you jack for the 4th row center seats for same concert at same stadium, August 5th, 2007), BILLIE JEAN (by Michael "whoooooooooooo!" Jackstone) and Clapton's pleading, burning, yearning LAYLA. This list is taken from this page. All songs are were chosen at random. Are the emotive themes SO obvious that no one but the staff at Meanspeed Music will say: the speed of a song is more predictive of emotive content than any other element of a song? Hey, you readers, I have the statistics of your visits. Meanspeed Music Theory is the best kept secret in music. Is speed the most important element of a song? No. Is the music determinism, the idea that speed predicts the emotion, the most OVERLOOKED theory in music? We think so! Actually we *know* so - but until that of a Collins, McCartney or Simon Cowell publicly acknowledges that the theory is tested and worthy, we at Meanspeed Music Studio forge ahead. Tom Brady's Track #21 from his iTunes Athletic Inspirations Playlist is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. Says Tom: "One of the first songs on my workout playlist." The "meaning" of this song is not known. What is known is that on their NEVERMIND album, what became "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was never written as a song. Rather, it was a guitar riff of Cobain that became infectious among the engineers. The engineers and the rest of the band encouraged Kurt to finish what is now the most famous song the left handed mystery man left behind. What could be behind the angst? Could it have been Kurt's mental torture, as he was drinking bottles of codeine (a prescription narcotic) and Jack Daniels whiskey (poison, by definition) around the clock during the recording of the album? Was it a case of Alvin Toffler-esque FUTURE SHOCK? Meaning: This American empire was in 1991 (and keep in mind, 9/11 was over a decade away) so vast as to be almost uncontrollable, and society changing from Agrarian-->Industrial-->Technological-->Digital as to create an undefinable frustrated malaise amongst the population. Could Kurt have been more spot on? 'Spot on' is an English phrase that thanks to the rise of genius Ricky Gervais makes it acceptable to use in the States. We really began to see this portrayed perfectly in the classic film - the *ultimate* high school movie which prophesied mass high school massacres: Heathers starring Christian Slater and Winona [Horowitz] Ryder. Frustration about the future of the Western world is keenly seen by the Valley people. The final scene of the masterpiece--Heathers--bear the most eerie liking to the music video for Smells Like Teen Spirit.



And the Smells like Teen video? The video features a distorted high school scene of mass murder. Kurt was indeed a prophet: he could see that with civilization has cancer - uncontrollable growth that will kill the host - as nuclear weapons WILL kill every human - the only question is *when*. Any Dennis Kusinich out there who is going to "do away with WMD" - call me up, *I* could use some pie-in-the-sky foolishness. But for you optimists out there:

Total Speed - "Grey Street" - Dave Matthews Band - average tempo=104.1 bpm - Who cares if your friend knows the tempo but you do not?

The Dave Matthews Band usually plays Grey Street within 2 beats a minute of the mean speed. You could imagine keeping this time in your head to keep self control to "Grey Street" or *any* song of psyche-itude that work for you. It has the timing, groove, rhythm and speed of a song which predictably emote a comfortable and natural expression. Music in any genre, from industrial to classical, is predictably natural, confident, relaxed and cool with its message in this range of around 98-105 beats per minute. "Grey Street" has been recorded and sold digitally many times in various performances. Therefore it provides a way to show how the Dave Matthews Band varies its original speed performance, and how you might start to be able to control, as John Lennon and Paul McCartney called "the music playing in your head."



In September 2002, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg and the Dave Matthews Band coordinated efforts to bring about: a benefit concert in New York City's Central Park - by proportion, the largest open space in any major city with such density - by the band, all revenue going to New York City public schools.

The schools benefited, and no one with a heart can American can wonder through Central Park, walking around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir without feeling something magical - especially at sunrise - most especially on the shortest day of the year.

Happy Solstice!

Who cares about BPM? What good is understanding tempo? Isn't speed Carter Beauford's role? Dave Matthews, "Grey Street" - live, 2004, The Gorge

Grey Street has been recorded several times and been made available to own in a legal manner.



This version comes from a CD bonus that came inside of 'The Gorge' DVD from the Dave Matthews band 2004 Tour.

Their is not much more to the song than the groove, rhythm, timing and speed. Therefore, it makes a good song to compare in many versions.









Meanspeed Music Summary
average tempo (meanspeed)=101.5 beats per minute
average beat=0.591 seconds
mean emotion according to means speed music theory=natural

All charts by Hunter Newman. The playing of Carter Beauford on drums dominates these tempo maps, but the line of advance is that of the song in general - which sound is getting the beat on a particular measure.

The Meanest Speed, Defined: Steely Dan's "The Boston Rag" - Mathematical Psychology Exposes That Which Is Emoted - mean emotion=bittersweetness

These are charts that reflect the calibration of a song by Steely Dan called The Boston Rag.



The Boston Rag is an excellent way to understand the mean speed theory of music, as it, well, just has that Meanspeed sound - songs that have a mean speed of 77-78 beats per minute, to be precise, the square root of 60 seconds x 10-1, 77.459666... at .77459666... seconds in between beats.




Why this formula works to a near perfection: I do not know. I only noticed this clear, simple obvious pattern - the one that no real "famous" musicians will support. You can only guess why. Steely Dan, come on dudes, give it up for this work! If you can not hear the meanspeed in the 99 cents, write us at meanspeedmusic@mac.com, we will gift you a song of your choice - seriously.



These are the calibrations precisely as they appear on the synthesized graphs, all by Ian Schneider and Hunter Newman






Even after 10,000 calibrations, even though I am the president of the Kendall Park Drum Circle: am not very good at guessing what speed of a song is without the aid of a stopwatch. This is not just a confession of how I do not possess “perfect tempo”—it is also a statement about how well speed hides. Well, at least that is the excuse for my lack of precise speed guessing.
As I’ve noted, the pattern of the twelve emotion ranges have not changed since I saw the pattern in July 1988. In July 1995, I was at a friend’s house, Paul of Pennsylvania. During the party, this song came on the party playlist, and I felt something was going on with the speed. Sure enough, The Boston Rag is an ideal example of the way to hear and feel the most central of all speeds. The plot is the classic Bittersweet plot: City in Massachusetts once had this great newspaper, The “Boston Rag,” and the song becomes a call to bring back the [old Boston]. Familiar sentiment—and frankly, yet not having spoken to either member of “the Dan,” I really don’t know what either Becker or Fagan really “meant” in this most fantastic performance of a most excellent song.


The mean speed, or the speed of the song expressed as beats per minute on this live recording=77.1 beats per minute
The mean time between each beat=778 milliseconds
The mean slow phase=1.285 beats per seocnd.
The corresponding tone=328.96 Hertz, located 45 cents above D#4/Eb4= 311.127 Hertz and 55 cents below F4= 349.225 Hertz

The Rich Genius Laughs at Us: Apple's Inaccurate BPM Consistent with Steve Jobs' Arrogant Greed and Intentional False Dumb Down

The article below was first published over a year ago.
Among many things I find disturbing a bout Apple is the Know it all mind set, the take it all money grab -- and still, their math is simply *wrong*. If listeners continue to accept horribly incorrect BPM in the once in a Blue Moon that they are actually given, I have a lot of work to do.
You all are not so lazy to get Apple get away with their Fuzzy Math - are you?

The speed, as you see below,



is a solid 2 beats a minute wrong in a key place on the mean speed theory scale. if I can be instantly wi-fied a download as I zoom under the Hudson River in a tunnel, the idea that Apple is giving out shoddy BPM, or none at all - makes me wonder if anyone is actually paying attention to objective speed.


When I calibrated these songs in the late 1990s I was struck by the similiarity of speed patterns. The speed graphs shown in this entry are based on numerical coordinates that show the song with the basis of a moving average of every ten beats, or two and one half measures instead of every 4 measures as I almost always do now.
Today begins an experiment in the helpfulness in the accuracy of breaking the song down--to the point where the speed patterns are 2 and one half times more exposed. These are the two songs as compared as "10's"--tomorrow, let's just see if the patterns are as striking after an analysis of Yusef's Wild World alone.
The songs, Wild World by Yusef Islam, recorded as Cat Stevens, meanspeed=76.0 beats per minute and The Boston Rag, meanspeed=77.1 beats per minute sit on the fence of where speeds that carry songs that are graceful turn bitterswweet. In Yusef's song he sings, as the song gets faster and counterintuitively more uncomfortable :
"If you're going to leave,
take good care,
but just rememeber a lot of things
Turn BAD ! -out there"

In The Boston Rag we hear the nostaligic meanspeed:
"He was singing this song,
when Johnny came alive,
Bring back the Boston Rag,
tell everybody that it ain't no drag."


The speed graph marked:
A) shows the entire meanspeed scale and where the songs fit therein;
B) shows the songs amongst all the speeds--from fast bebop at the top, 400 BPM to ultra-slow trance at 29 BPM. From this vantage, it is hard to see any pattern at all;
C) Shows the performance lines and the linear trends of both songs;
D) Is (c) above as a radar type chart;
E) Is a 3 dimensional view of (C);
F) Is (E);
G) Is (E);
H) Is (E);
I) Shows the performance lines and the logorithmic trends of both songs.

The song The Boston Rag can be searched on the page for a seperate entry I have in the archives dedicated only to The Rag measure by measure. So, tomorrow we will look at Wild World alone measure by measure, and compare the two songs whe broken down into groups of four beats and see if the patterns are still as striking.
