Hello. I wanted to ask you whether you know if the Mozart l'Opera Rock 3D (2011) is available anywhere without Korean subtitles? I would love to find or buy a clean version but I can't seem to find it anywhere. ;-;

Sorry it took a while to get to this, had a lot of other stuff to deal with on this blog, but okay getting to it now.

I do love the 2011 over the 2009/10 production simply because of Salieri's ponytail, alright also because I think everyone's acting improved by the later production.

Sadly, you cannot purchase the 2011 production anywhere as it was never released for purchase. You can see it's listed on IMDB and Letterboxd, but that's because it was filmed professionally and streamed in cinemas, but never then released onto DVD or as a digital download. You can purchase the DVD of the original 2009/10 production, I got my copy of Ebay.

I don't know of any that have no subtitles, like the Korean ones that are on the copy on Youtube that also has English subtitles as well. If anyone knows of any copies of the 2011 proshot, whether that's to stream of if you want to trade for it, please shoot me a dm!!

Actually as I'm getting this together I just noticed the copy of the 2011 video that was on Youtube which was the only copy with English subtitles isn't there anymore.

^ This version now shows as 'video unavailable'. The 2010 still is, but not the 2011 (well it is with Russian subs but not the English ones). There is a different copy now that has huge English subtitles on it, I don't know if they're the same subs but they take up much more of the screen than the old ones. You guys are lucky I save everything. I have the video and I also extracted the subtitles from the Youtube video so, I'm going to do what I just did with the copy of Mozart das musical with English subs that got taken off Youtube, and I'm going to put the 2011 with the English subtitles up on archive . org where it should hopefully stay archived. My account on archive is WennLi3b3.

EDIT: I've now uploaded the 2011 English subs that have been deleted/taken down off Youtube onto archive . org. You can stream it with the subtitles and also download it and the subtitles and I've put instructions in the description on how to play the subtitles if you download them.

So, after realising that I'm turning this ask into a masterlist of all Mozart L'Opéra Rock videos (productions of the musical, concert versions, and solo and group concerts that the cast have done) that are online to stream/download:

(Slight problem, Tumblr won't let me post this if the links are clickable, so you'll have to copy and paste the links, apologies if you're on mobile)

*All concerts listed are concert productions of MOR unless stated otherwise (e.g. 'Beijing Concert' is a concert of MOR, 'Florent Mothe Beijin Concert' is a solo concert by Florent Mothe)

London playlist

London - since 43 AD it has to be one of the more fascinating cities on Earth. Such a rich history. From Shakespeare Theatre to the music from there today. I just had to put a London playlist together. From Soho to Brixton, from Highgate to Clapham what a collection of songs!

Duke Thomas Rings The Bells

Ch.1 , synopsis ; Moving to an elite boarding school Duke struggles to find his footing. But he clumsily stumbles his way into some friends, and soon his friends turn into comrades and allies. Duke knows his friends won't fall, and he doesn't plan on falling either. How long can people keep secrets? And what secrets are worth anything at all? Maybe Jason is right, and this is all just some really dramatic Dead Poets Society shit. But Duke liked that movie.

Duke's locker was articulate in it's decoration. There was the usual magazine cut outs, the stray polaroid, and the magnets he had made from postage labels. The organization of said locker was lacking a bit.

He didn't mean to just throw things into the metal cabinet but he was still adjusting to the ways of his new home. The locker also reeked of marker ink and the alcohol of his hand sanitizer. Duke learned early on in his young artists career that hand sanitizer killed ink.

Duke switched out his math textbook for the book they were currently reading in English, On The Road by Jack Kerouac. The cover was new, no finger printers or stray penned obscenities. Duke hadn't gotten a chance to read most of it yet but he got an extension from Mr.Farlane.

Transferring a week into school meant that Duke had missed most of the "Welcome Back To School" activities, part of him chided himself for being relieved about having avoided such crowds, but the other half dreaded his lack of basic information about the school. He didn't know the whole layout by heart yet, the schedule felt awkward and clunky, and of course he knew no one.

Despite the school's prestige the extra curricular art courses and clubs were lacking. On top of that most kids Duke had deemed assholes were in said clubs. Duke's current list of assholes was growing. In his throw up book, which was what he called his sketchbook, there were doodles of people he thought were noteworthy.

In his classes he tried to match names to makeshift seating charts on his pages. Not wanting to be caught in some embarrassing slip up of not knowing someone's name. Next to these names were things to pin them to a person. Ones who had bumped into him without apologizing, ones who said weird things in class, had been late or walked funny.

In his second period bio med class was a boy named Tim. Next to his name was a brash doodle Duke had done of the boy along with the phrase 'This is bullshit, the woman obviously died because of her diabetes! Look at the blood splatter you absolute fool! ’ which is what he had said to his lab partner.

Tim had been scolded for disturbing the class and Duke was surprised when his own lab partner also scolded Tim instead of finding the situation funny or amusing at least.

Even though they hadn't officially met yet, Tim so far was the only boy on the 'not asshole' list Duke had formulated. Duke wished there were girls around. They were always so much nicer, and they made guys less defensive.

Blue River Academy For Boys was an all boys boarding school that Duke would compare to a hell on a trust funds budget. Not to mention that so far Duke was the only black kid in sight. Beyond that he was the only not white person on campus he had seen so far.

With nothing but rich white boys surrounding him Duke was already feeling out of his element. Top that off with a new school, a new home, and his general positive attitude was taking a beating.

Duke sighed a heavy breath as he prepared to enter his AP English class. Only four days into Mr.Farlane’s dry, boring lectures were enough to have Duke dreading the class, he still had the whole semester ahead of him.

Fortunately Duke had managed to snag a window seat in the back, as it was the only desk left when he had arrived. Outside was the main courtyard, where most boys went during their study period. There was a stone fountain, several garden benches, and rose bushes that littered the grassy yard below.

Duke couldn't decide if it was cliche, pretentious, or both. All the architecture of the place was overly grand like this. Gray stone walls, silver railings, blue and white mosaic tile floor. None of it felt real. It made Duke miss his neighborhood, his home.

"Today we will be covering chapters ten through fifteen,"

Mr.Farlane’s voice was robotic and empty as he spoke to the class. Mr.Farlane had several conversations with himself about the themes of the book, the overarching plot, and how Jack Kerouac was an exemplary writer.

This was when the boy in front of Duke raised his hand. Mr.Farlane didn't notice him at first but the boy slammed his other hand onto the wooden desk to grab the teachers attention.

Mr.Farlane only let out an annoyed huff of air, Duke noticed the other boys in class had perked up as well. It felt like the moments before a great battle in a movie, like two unstoppable armies had come to face each other on a hill.

"Yes Jason,"

Mr.Farlane’s voice at least wasn't terribly dull anymore, Duke thought.

"Kerouac was not a good writer, he drones on and on, he deals in drivel-"

Mr.Farlane cut Jason off with the palm of his hand.

"That's subjective Jason-"

Jason cut him off in return.

"It's not subjective, he was high as shit when he wrote On The Road , and apparently even being intoxicated wasn't enough to get his ass to write anything good"

"Mr.Todd-"

"I'm Mr.Todd now?"

Jason asked, raising his voice with a snarl.

"Mr.Todd," Mr.Farlane said slowly repeating himself, "Please go to the office if you're going to act like this"

Jason, who was a tall boy with dark hair and icy blue eyes, a streak of white running down his bangs, didn't look handsome as he stormed out of the room, he looked pissed off. The other boys in class also stared at Jason as he moved through the room, knocking or bumping into desks not seeming to care who or what he intruded on.

Mr.Farlane continued speaking once Jason had left like nothing had transpired at all. Duke then deduced that Jason must be one of those moody brooding types who was prone to getting in trouble. A person who sat quietly until they exploded with rage. Which in this case was induced by bad literary opinion.

While Mr.Farlane’s hollow lesson went on, Duke drew. He drew Jason in a loose cartoon style. Putting emphasis on the boy's odd hair color, his angry scrunched up face which Duke only got a few glimpses of because he had been sitting behind him. Duke in scratchy bubble letters drew the words Jason had spoken as well. When it came time to put Jason's name on the asshole list Duke couldn't bring himself to do it.

Because yeah, yelling at the teacher, throwing around curse words, having tantrums in class, that definitely wasn't cool. It made Duke wonder if Jason was putting on some sort of bad boy act. But even this seemed pretty dramatic for something that was just an act. Regardless of the right or wrong of the situation Duke hesitated, because Jason was right. Jack Kerouac couldn't write for shit.

⊱ ────── {⋅. ✯ .⋅} ────── ⊰

That night Duke looked at the two boxes that he still had left to unpack. The school had confiscated their phones, so Duke had the radio on low. The radio had been his mothers, and it used to sit on their kitchen window sill, but it hasn't had any CD’s fed to it for years. It had been a long time since he had used the radio at all, and the stations were different out here. Eventually he settled on the ‘Rockin 80’s’ station that was playing that Easy Lover song.

Duke’s room was the same as all the other rooms in the dorms. One bed, one desk, a chair, a closet, and one small window that overlooked the empty fields beyond the school grounds. Duke had almost skipped dinner today like he had yesterday but had forced himself to go to the cafeteria. He didn't want himself to get stuck moping here. Even if he did very badly want to mope about.

His casual clothes were tucked into the back of the closet, while the pieces of his uniform took up most of the closet. The two sweaters vests, one blue with white stripes running along the bottom, the other an inverted version of the first. His black slacks, the gray ones, and the two pairs of khakis. Of course the variety of collared button ups and polos, then the singular school jacket. The crest was embroidered and intricate. The silver string shone even the dim light of his room.

Duke took the jacket off and hung it with the rest of his clothes. He used the key to his dorm to cut the tape off the last boxes. In the first box were posters, photos, pieces of paper he had tacked up on his walls at home, the halloween lights he strung around his room back home and his lava lamp. It took Duke longer than he thought it would to hang all the contents of the box on the walls. But when he was finished and flicked the lava lamp on, he did feel better. Like some sort of normalcy was placed back into his palms.

The second box was one he had been careful to keep from his mother, and one he had made sure to label school supplies. Because Blue River had rules about everything. The length of your pants, scented candles, music, and even books. But more hated than the list of curated books that had been banned from the school curriculum and hence the school grounds, was an even simpler rule and instruction that Duke had not only broken, but disregarded entirely.

In the school handbook, on page ten, was a list of contraband. Underneath the incredibly long list of banned books, was rule 15. No comic books. Duke appreciated his mothers sentiments of good education, he appreciated the scholarship that the school had offered. But Duke, like always, had his own plans.

Flower Boy [ boxer!calum ]

flower boy series | pt.1 | word count: 5,659 | masterlist

"Thank you so much! I'll have these to you as soon as possible. Goodbye!"

Talia grins, as she farewells the family whos portraits she had just finished shooting.

As much as she loves photography, there were only so many matching outfits and unhappy children a person could handle in a day, and with the family that had just left her studio, Talia had reached her limit.

Draining days were something she had gotten used to, business booming lately thanks to the kind words of a handful of past clients. With doors only opening just under a year ago, Valentine Studios didn't exactly have the longest history in town, but Talia liked to believe her dedication and skill made up for lack of experience.

Her mother hadn't really approved of the move, her ideals for her daughter being stuck a few decades in the past.

With the thought of her mother flashing through her mind, Talia couldn't help but sigh as she moved to pack up her camera for the night.

After the great disbandment of the Alisley family, it was nearly impossible for either of the Alisley children to communicate with their mother, but that didn't stop Yvonne from making her annual call to her kids, mostly about the percentage paid out to them every couple weeks from their father's estate royalties, which in Talia's case, was this morning.

From that point onward, it felt like the universe had decided to torment Talia today.

Starting off with the phone call, and most recently manifesting as a set of twins who refused to do any form of posing with their parents, Talia couldn't wait to go home and sleep so she could start the next day fresh and away from the negative vibes of the current day.

Once her backdrops had been rolled up, and her camera was safely stored in its bag, Talia finally had time to let down her dark brown hair, the two bright streaks of red framing her face. She took great pleasure in turning all the lights off, and locking the door of the studio behind her.

Taking a second to relax in her car, Talia looks at her phone, scrolling through til she reaches the contact of her brother, Brandon.

The Alisley family were estranged from each other these days, but that didn't mean that Talia and Brandon had stopped being lifelong best friends.

The two had always been close, only a couple years between the siblings. Growing up in a world surrounded by adults until they themselves were well into their teens, they were practically a package deal until they had both moved into their own apartments a few years ago.

As of late, while Talia was diving head first into Valentine, Brandon was knee deep in The Vault, the gym he had started not long before Talia opened her own business.

Sitting in her car, Talia contemplated calling him for a moment, her finger hovering over the call button as she thought.

With both of them being so busy, they had barely had time to catch up over the last couple months, and after the day she had had today, Talia needed a bit of chill time with the only other person in the world who could understand her situation.

Their father always joked they could communicate telepathically, and after not seeing him for so long, Talia missed speaking her native tongue.

Deciding to make her way over to the gym, Brandon always telling her he was there any Friday night she would try to make plans with him lately, Talia constructed a plan for what she would do once she finally had convinced her brother to stop throwing himself into his work every Friday night.

With The Vault situated downtown, it was a bit of a drive in Los Angeles traffic, but with the thought of the Thai food just up the street from the gym in her mind, Talia couldn't find it in herself to care about the lengthy journey.

The radio softly played one of the many playlists made on Talia's phone as she drove along, windows down and the breeze lightly whipping her hair around as she did her best to relax while she had the chance.

While most people were finishing their work week, Talia, being the head photographer at Valentine, was still one day away from her own weekend, working every Saturday since the studio opened. This made it easier for families to get together for their shoots, not having to worry about getting back to work and getting the kids back to school, and Talia could tell her clients appreciated it, which made the extra day of work worth it to her.

Propping her head up, with her left elbow resting on the top of the door, Talia can't help the frown that flashes onto her face as she approaches the gym.

Expecting to see only Brandon's car and maybe another employee's, the full parking lot beside the building confuses her. How many people would be at a gym after hours?

The confused frown on Talia's face lingers as she parks her car next one she definitely recognised as Brandon's, climbing out and locking it before pocketing her keys and approaching a man who looked slightly familiar, noticing he was one of Brandon's employees as she got closer.

"Johnny," Talia smiles politely, the man turning to her with wide eyes as he recognizes her, "what's happening here?" She asks.

Johnny stutters for a moment, looking around like he rather be anywhere else in the world at this exact moment.

"Oh, here? Just some regulars here for a get together. Your brother left a few hours back though." He says quickly, tripping over his words slightly, almost like he was making a story up as he went along.

Suspicion courses through Talia at the deflective words of the man much taller than she is, and if she didn't already know him, she probably would have been intimidated by his size alone.

"I just parked next to his car though, and it's kinda odd for Brandon to leave the gym open." Talia laughs awkwardly, not trusting of the excuse she was being given when she knew her brother better than to leave not only his business open, but also his car unlocked outside it.

"I think I'll just check things out for myself thanks Johnny." Talia states, before taking a step forward towards the entrance.

Sensing her disbelief, and his face turning to one of panic, Johnny takes a step sideways, blocking the door from Talia's path.

"Brandon said that you were banned from Friday nights. I'm sorry Talia." He finally says, and Talia can't help the look of surprise that covers her face.

"Me? Banned from the Vault? I hardly think so mate." She laughs, taking advantage of the height difference between them to duck under Johnny's arm, easily pushing the door open into the gym.

Immediately, Talia is met with a wall of noise.

A crowd, some seated, some not, surround the central boxing ring at the center of the building. The usual smell of cleaning supplies and sweat is amplified by the stench of beer radiating through the whole building, but even then, the thing that grabs Talia's attention isn't the crowd or their behavior, but instead, what they're watching.

In the center of the ring, two large, well built men circle each other. Talia watches on in horror for only a moment before one man launches his fist forward towards the others stomach, and it's in this moment she realizes that the men aren't wearing gloves, but thin bloodied wraps.

The crowd roar with a wave of life as the punch connects, the second man doubling over and leaving himself exposed to an onslaught the first delivers without hesitation.

Even with the presence of Johnny behind her, the only thing Talia can see is the pure violence playing out in front of her, realization growing by the second as her eyes finally break away from the ring to where her brother stands at the back of the crowd.

She can't help but think her father might have been right about the telepathy, because almost as if he could sense her eyes on him, Brandon's own find her.

All of the colour drains from Brandon's face as he excuses himself from the black haired man he's talking to, running around the outside of the crowd to reach his sister, who stands frozen in place.

He says nothing as he grabs Talia's hand, pulling her sideways into the office room to the right of the building, easily tugging her past the back of the crowd that still stare focused into the ring.

The clinical white lights above them come to life as Brandon flicks the switch beside the door, shutting it behind him quickly before he turns back to Talia.

"What are you doing here?" He asks quickly, inspecting her as if she was a wounded animal ready to pounce.

Fighting her disbelief at the situation and his question, Talia's eyes go wide as a wave of anger washes over her at his question.

"What am I doing here? What the fuck is that shit, Brandon?!" She throws back at him, her voice louder and stronger than she expected it to come out of her.

Waving his hands panicked, trying to get her to lower her voice, Brandon tries to shush her, which only makes her more ticked off.

"Look you weren't supposed to see that-"

"Answer my fucking question or I'll start screamin' it." She threatens, cutting him off mid sentence.

An angry and frustrated expression settles on his face as Brandon let's out a huff, not knowing how to word his explanation and remaining silent while he tries to find the right words.

"Is this why you've been blowing me off for months? You got some fucking fight club bullshit going on here instead?" She questions further, her voice breaking slightly with stress.

"I can't tell you all the fucking details in one breath, Talia. I wasn't exactly expecting you to find out like this."

Brandon argues, throwing his hand up in annoyance, which only confuses her more.

"What makes you think you have the right to be angry at me when you're the one that has the explaining to do?"

"Fuck! Alright! I get it!" He whisper yells harshly, face twisting in anger and making the siblings look even more alike than usual, Talia taking a step back at his sudden outburst, "look, the money is gonna get cut off one day, I'm thinking about my future, OUR futures here. That's what this shit is about."

"And what exactly is this shit, Brandon?" Talia asks, aggressively pointing towards the door that barely separated them from the crowd.

"It's boxing. Same shit you see on TV, just, not as commercial."

"This isn't the same shit as on TV! Those guys aren't even wearing gloves!" She argues, smacking the back of her hand as she speaks.

"Bare knuckle and wraps get better bets, the guys make their own decisions on if they do it or not." Brandon defends as he crosses his arms.

Talia shakes her head in annoyance, her face twisting. Everything was happening so quickly, meaning she barely had enough time to process all the information being thrown at her.

"You're scared of mommy cutting off the royalties so this is what you do instead?" She asks.

"The money is gonna get cut off and it's gonna be sooner rather than later. Do you expect me to suck up forever? To hide Sam til she dies too? Mom hates both of us now and you know it just as well as I do."

Talia feels her throat tighten at his words. Her stomach felt like it was close to emptying its content as the gut punch of his words hit her at a hundred miles per hour.

"Shut the fuck up. You know I love Sam and you know I don't want to do it just as much as you don't want to. But you're right, it will be sooner if she finds out about this." She spits back.

Taking a step towards him, arms crossed, Talia holds steady eye contact as she looks up to her brother.

"You're not the only one she can fuck over. When she finds out and cuts me off too, what the fuck are we gonna do, huh?" She whispers harshly as the crowd outside the room bursts into life again, the next round starting.

Brandon breaks the eye contact between them as he stares at the ground, fists clenched at his sides as the obvious stress of the situation flashes across his face.

"She won't, not yet."

Talia rolls her eyes as her arms uncross, leaning back against his desk.

"Mom always finds out."

"She won't this ti-"

Brandon is interrupted by the office door swinging open, a tall man with blonde hair and a panicked look on his face ignoring Talia to address Brandon the second his eyes land on him.

"Hood's broken Knight's nose." He says in a rush, causing Brandon to groan, following the man out the door before turning back to Talia.

"Don't leave this office, I'll be back soon."

Talia throws her brother a sarcastic thumbs up before he rushes off, the door clicking shut behind him.

Talia felt like her mind was in the worst spin she'd ever experienced. Finally the late nights, the astronomical bills being excused as gym costs, the secrets, they all made sense.

As angry as she was with her brother, she was more worried about him than anything.

Seeing the crowd, the action in the ring, it was more than just the sparring she would see from time to time as she made the rounds to check in on things. These people were out for blood, and would throw as much money as they needed at it to make it happen. This wasn't the kind of thing she ever expected Brandon to be involved in, and it shocked her that he's involved in that world obviously as more than just a spectator.

Sitting down in the office chair, Talia rests her elbows on the desk in front of her, covering her face with her hands as she tries to take a deep breath to calm her nerves, but jumping as the crowd outside roars again.

This wasn't something she was familiar with, and the uncharted territory this laid out in front of her felt like a minefield. Both her brother's lies, and the violence they were hiding.

With her anxiety peaking as she sits deep in her thoughts, she nearly yelps as the office door flies open, a tall man coming in and looking around for someone, before their eyes finally land on Talia.

If the sharp jawline, dark eyes and deadly look on his face didn't take her breath away, the ripped and bruised skin under his eye sure did.

A seemingly permanent scowl was set on the man's face, and his height and all black outfit just added to the intimidating stance he has as he lets the door swing shut behind him.

Talia couldn't help but notice that the man is attractive, even with blood dripping down his face, noticing his hair closely cropped to his head, apart from the wild bleached curls that fell onto his forehead.

For a brief moment, the angry look on the man's face softens upon seeing the smaller woman sitting behind his boss's desk, but it's instantly replaced by a look of confusion.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asks, his voice deeper than she expected with an unfamiliar accent laced into his words.

Slightly taken back, Talia frowns, withdrawing from the desk and standing up behind it, her defensive nature quickly taking over.

"I'm Talia Alisley, who the fuck are you?"

This time it's the man that's taken back, his eyebrows shooting up as he scoffs, arrogance in spades and tension building by the second as Talia crosses her arms in front of herself.

"I'm Calum Hood," He says, and Talia freezes.

Hood. Was he the Hood that the blonde man was talking about? The one who apparently had broken the nose of the guy Brandon was checking on?

"and I'm guessing you're the precious little sister." He comments, and this time it's Talia that raises her eyebrow. Did Brandon mention her to these guys?

"Too right I am, so don't fuck with me and we should be fine. Brandon said he'd be back soon." She replies, sitting back down with her arms still crossed and the scowl on her face settling in while in his presence.

Deep down, Talia knew it was probably a bad idea to piss off the guy who was not only bleeding, but the cause of a broke nose two rooms over, but her pride and defensive nature was far more powerful than the anxiety swirling in her stomach.

"No need to worry about that, princess." Calum rolls his eyes in annoyance. If Brandon was gonna send him to his office, he could at least show up instead of wasting his time, and give him a warning.

Talia was thankful in that moment for the low light of the room on account of the desk lamp being off, hiding the blush that made her ears burn. Yeah, he might be a dickhead, but he was still an attractive dickhead.

Slumping down into the chair opposite Talia with a huff, Calum shakes his head, while Talia stays stone faced across from him.

"You alright?" She asks after a moment, referring to where blood still sits on his cheekbone.

Calum frowns at her attitude change, not aware of the injury that he sustained from Knight's ringed hand landing a right hook before Calum landed his own.

In his defense, Knight should have known better than to touch his gear.

With the confused look flashing across his face for a longer period this time, Talia can't help but roll her eyes.

"You're bleeding under your eye, bro." She points out.

As Calum reaches up to touch his cheek, the door opens, the blonde man from before walking in with Brandon in toe as Talia thanks her lucky stars.

"Not gonna lie I thought you would have left by now." Brandon says, looking at Talia first while her eyes stay on the actions of the blonde man opening a medical kit on the desk.

"Oh don't worry, I want to." She comments.

"So do I, can I go now?" Calum directs towards Brandon as the blonde man touches an alcohol wipe to his cheek, making his aggressive expression falter slightly.

"Once Luke says you're okay and once I've dealt with you, yes." He sighs, rubbing a hand over his face.

"Look," Talia says, standing up and holding her hands up in surrender, "obviously you've got a lot of shit going on here right now so we'll deal with this tomorrow." She gestures between them, walking around the desk and past the three men.

Letting out a sigh, Brandon sends her a look of appreciation.

"Thanks T, text me when you get home." He replies, to which she sends him a short nod.

"Luke, can you walk her out?" He asks, turning to the man getting up from kneeling in front of Calum.

"Yeah, no worries." He smiles, taking his gloves off and throwing them in the bin.

Walking out the door with Luke, Talia winces at the loudness of the crowd, thankful for the taller, now calm, man standing between them and herself.

"I'm Luke, by the way." He smiles kindly, holding his hand out for Talia to shake as they make it to the door.

"Talia. Gotta be honest, I wish this was under better circumstances." She smiles tightly back at him, shaking his hand.

"Yeah," he laughs, "me too."

As they make it outside, Talia leads Luke around the building to where her car sits, right next to Brandon's.

"Well, this is me." She says, signalling to her car with the keys in her hand. "Thanks for walking me past all of that."

"No problem. Drive safe." Luke says with a small wave to her, and she gives him an appreciative smile.

"You too. See you 'round, Luke."

Climbing into her car, Talia sighs, relaxing only slightly in the familiar surroundings.

As she pulls away from the curb, Luke sends her a final wave before walking back into the gym.

Driving away, the adrenaline of the situation starts to wear off, and the reality of the situation starts to sink in.

"God, I'm gonna fucking kill him." Talia mutters to herself, turning the radio up and going over the night's events in her head as she drives back to her apartment.

The next morning, Talia awakes with a rock of dread weighing down her stomach.

Her mind immediately flashes back to the events of the night before, and as she showers, gets dressed and locks her apartment door, it almost felt like she wore the dread of the impending conversation she needed to have with her brother as a scarf tied too tightly around her neck.

Instead of heading straight to the studio and editing the photos of the last few days as usual, Talia instead took a deep breath as she started heading back towards Vault, having a couple hours to hopefully get answers before her first clients for the day were set to arrive at eleven.

The parking lot beside Vault sat a lot emptier today. Only a handful of cars sprinkled around, and just like last night, Talia pulls into the space beside Brandon's car.

Taking a moment before walking in, Talia leans back in her seat, closing her eyes.

She was scared. Of Brandon's explanation, of possibly having to accept whatever the fuck she had witnessed last night, of walking out more confused than she was about to walk in.

Her and Brandon had grown up play fighting, and catching an odd round or two when their dad decided to watch Friday Fight Night, but violence had never really been part of their lives in a physical form. Apart from a questionable wrestling phase when she was 14, Talia couldn't even remember the last time she saw two people in a ring together that wasn't casual sparring when she would frequent the gym in its early days.

None of it compared to what she saw last night.

With what happened still fresh in her mind, Talia climbs out of her car, pushing the door shut behind her.

Johnny doesn't stand by the entrance this morning, meaning Talia easily walks into the gym, the door squeaking slightly in protest as she pushes it open.

It's almost like nothing had even happened. All the equipment that was pushed against a wall last night now sits in its normal place, the shelves of alcohol behind the check in desk now stocked with protein powders like less than twelve hours ago the counter wasn't a very convincing bar.

Hearing her come in the door, a couple people look up from what they're doing, sending Talia a polite smile before returning to their work.

Calum Hood is not one of these people.

Almost like the universe had put a glowing neon sign over his head, Talia's eyes instantly wander towards where Calum stands next to the black haired man she recognized as the same person Brandon was talking to last night when she arrived.

Noticing her too, Calum’s encouragement of his best friend is interrupted by his eyes catching a flash of blue hair in his peripheral vision.

While he knew any animosity towards the woman who could probably have him fired with a few fake tears was a bad idea to hold onto, he couldn't help but feel annoyed upon seeing her in what he thought of as his domain.

Face settling into a frown as she looks across the room to the man who easily got on her nerves last night, Talia almost doesn't notice Brandon coming up behind her.

"Hey." He greets quietly, holding a takeaway cup of coffee out to his sister. "Time for that talk, huh?"

"Yeah. Think so." She takes the coffee with a nod of thanks, and hesitantly follows him to his office.

Talia couldn't tell if Brandon was trying to suck up to her with free coffee, but after sitting down at the chair in front of his desk and taking a sip, tasting vanilla latte, she knows he is.

"So, where should we start?" He asks, settling into his seat with a heavy sigh.

Talia scoffs lightly, raising her eyebrow.

"The beginning would be good."

Brandon nods, looking down at his desk to avoid meeting her eyes.

"The fights started around one, maybe two months after we opened, so we've been hosting them for about fourteen months now."

Talia's eyes go wide, disbelief covering her face as she places her cup on his desk forcefully.

"You're telling me you've been hiding this shit for over a year?" She asks, anger already starting to build.

"Yeah, and if you haven't fucking noticed, it's not been the easiest thing to do." He snaps, before holding his hands up, taking a deep breath and rolling his seat back slightly to calm himself, too much tension already in the air.

Talia bites her tongue, looking down at her hands before she signals to him to continue.

"A friend of mine, Ashton, he was part of an illegal boxing league running out of a rundown place up in Hollywood. I saw him fight there a couple times, saw the conditions myself. The guy running the show was a complete asshole to his guys, but they all needed the money, so they stuck around." He explains, voice quieter than before.

"One night we got to talking. I asked Ash if he thought we might be able to make our own ring, give people a safer place to earn their money. Then we figured out how much we could earn from it, and with shit going so wrong with mom, I figured that if she pulled the rug out from under me, I could use the league as a safety net."

Piecing together the timeline in her head, and doing the best to absorb the information given to her, Talia remains silent and slowly nods along when needed.

"Him and I have built this thing from the ground up, and it's working for us. I manage the books, he manages the guys, and we take care of the admin together. With my connections to the rich assholes who have more money than they know what to do with, and with Ashton's connection to the guys who need that money and want to do it, we're doing really, really well, Talia."

This time it's Talia who avoids eye contact, looking down to her shoes as she curses the logical side of her brain for seeing sense in his story.

"How many people do you have fighting for you?" She asks.

Brandon let's out a heavy breath, waving his hand slightly.

"Around twenty, twenty five. We keep the doors open for the more occasional guy who needs the cash that week."

"And how often are the nights like last night happening?"

"Weekly. Every Friday, normally."

Seeing the hesitation on her face, bottom lip pulled between her teeth, Brandon sits forward to bring her attention to him, her eyes flicking up to meet his.

"I know this is a lot, and I don't expect you to be okay with it, but I do want you to know I'm being smart about this."

Talia sighs, taking a sip of her drink before speaking.

"I know you, so I don't doubt it. It's just so dangerous, Brandon. You can't expect me not to be worried about you."

Brandon laughs lightly, trying to lift the mood slightly.

"I would never expect you not to worry. It's not in your nature."

A small smile tugs at the corners of Talia's lips, and it's enough to ease his mind.

"Anything you want to know about the ring, the business, any of it, I'll answer as best as I can. I trust you more than anyone and I want to do everything I can to make you feel okay with this, and make up for holding it from you."

Talia hazards a look to her brother, seeing on his face that he's been open and honest with her.

"You know I always ask too many questions." She smiles, joking lightly as she referenced something she would hear almost daily from her mother growing up.

Brandon shakes his head as he laughs, taking a sip of his own drink.

"If you get too much for me, I'll just pass you on to Ashton. It's what normally happens around here." He shrugs slightly, before tilting his head.

"Actually, do you want to meet him? He should be around out there." He asks, and Talia mulls the idea over for a moment before agreeing. After all, it would probably be best to know who she would castrate if something happened to Brandon.

"Sure, might as well." She agrees, downing the last of her drink and tossing her cup into the small recycling bin under his desk.

Standing up and following Brandon out of his office, Talia can feel her nerves already starting to act up, and does her best to shove them down as she follows him towards the bench press where the black haired man who she now assumed was Ashton, and Calum stood.

"Hey, guys. I got someone for you to meet." Brandon says, catching their attention as they approach.

Ashton sends her a warm smile as she steps out from behind Brandon, which is a nice contrast from the cold glare Calum sends her way, which she ignores to return the smile instead.

"Ashton, Calum, this is my sister, Talia. Talia, this is the demon on my shoulder Ash, and my blue rock em sock em man Calum."

"We've met." Calum says bluntly, while Ashton raises his eyebrow.

"And we haven't. Nice to meet you, I assure you Brandon's told us nothing but good things." Ashton grins, holding his hand out for her to shake.

Talia takes his hand and can't help but notice how strong his grip is without what looks like any effort, and laughs lightly.

"I'd hope so, but I can't promise my staff have heard the same about him. It's nice to meet you too." She returns, letting her hand drop to her side before she acknowledges the man beside him.

"And yeah, charmed." Talia prods lightly, seeing Calum trying to hide the roll of his eyes from Brandon.

"Talia is gonna be spending more time around, getting to know the workings when she can. I said if she annoys me too much I'm gonna pass her on to you, so fair warning." Brandon informs them, tapping Ashton's arm as he directs his sentence to him.

"Fantastic." Talia hears Calum mutter, not loud enough for the other two to hear it, but just enough that she does.

This time, it's Talia that rolls her eyes at Calum.

As conversation is made, Calum can't help but feel hyper aware of Talia, and the sun shining in from the high windows casting sunbeams through the few red hairs that fell out of her bun and framed her face delicately. He would admit that Talia was pretty, beautiful even, but not audibly, especially not in front of the girl who felt no hesitation in sending him a death glare every few minutes.

The small group spend ten or so minutes talking with each other before Talia's phone rings, letting her know she should start making her way to the studio.

"Looks like I should be getting to work." Talia says, slipping her phone back into her pocket.

"What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?" Ashton inquiries, genuine interest in his tone, making her see why Brandon was such a fan of him.

Talia believed she could read people well, and from her first impression of Ashton, she got nothing but good vibes.

"I'm a photographer, I own my own studio called Valentine." She smiles proudly, and Ashton nods his head in approval.

"My girlfriend works just down the road from you I think! It's not far from Dominion Books, right?"

Pleasant surprise spreads across Talia's face as she nods, happy to have found a common link.

"Yeah! I think I might have seen you there in passing now I think about it." She smiles.

Brandon watches on with joy as he sees both Talia and Ashton getting along, so happy about it in fact that he didn't even notice Calum looking like he would rather be anywhere else in the world.

Talia says her goodbyes to the men before turning to leave, her attention being called back before she makes it too far.

"If you ever need a fill in hunk for a photo shoot, you know who to call." Ashton jokes, sending a wink in her direction.

"Yeah, you can get your brother to pass you my number any time." Calum says sarcastically, surprising her but also making her scoff as she takes a few steps backwards before turning around.

"In your dreams, darlin'." She calls over her shoulder.

As the door swings shut behind her, Calum feels like his feet are glued to the floor, the eyes of his best friend burning into him as Brandon excuses himself to mock throw up against the wall.

"What's that all about between you two?" Ashton asks Calum quietly, picking up his water bottle as Calum picks up his own, holding it up and speaking casually before taking a sip.

"No idea what you're talking about mate."

Electronic Music

Ambient is a method that describes a large spectrum of music. I've heard it mentioned of the above genres that merengue is having a crush in musical type, while salsa is love and bachata is intercourse. Do with that information what you'll. 45. Roy WG. Reds, Whites, and Blues: Social Actions, Folk Music, and Race in the United States: Social Movements, Folk Music, and Race in the United States. Princeton College Press; 2010 Jul 1. The dataset consists of 1000 audio tracks every 30 seconds long. It incorporates 10 genres namely, blues, classical, country, disco, hiphop, jazz, reggae, rock, steel and pop. Each style consists of a hundred sound clips. If you are crafting an argument about how music relates to historical circumstances, then you need to discuss these musical parts that most clearly assist your argument. A doable thesis might be Because Mozart needed a job in Paris, he wrote a symphony designed to appeal to Parisian tastes." If that is your argument, then you would give attention to the musical elements that help this statement, quite than other components that don't contribute to it. For example, Although his Viennese symphonies featured a repeated exposition, Mozart didn't embrace a repeat within the symphonies he composed in Paris, which conformed extra intently to Parisian concepts about musical kind at the time." This statement is perhaps more helpful to your argument than speculation about what he ate in Paris and the way that influenced his compositional course of. Banda is a mix of almost all of the genres of the Mexican music, like the corridos, boleros, baladas, cumbias, rancheras, and in addition rock and pop. Banda is principally an enormous brass-primarily based form of music that primarily relies on percussion. It originated within the Sinaloa state of Mexico. Round 10 to twenty people are current in a band. The American band was banned for a long time in Australia, in 1996 the country stopped the sale of any Cannibal Corpse recordings and all copies needed to be stripped from music shops. The ban lasted ten years till it was lifted in 2006. On this sociological view, audio-transcoder.com genres should not so much widespread musicological parts as typical types of interactions based on normative expectations. Hence Lena three discerns 4 main style types amongst American fashionable musical styles: avant-garde, scene-based, trade-based, and traditionalist. The distinction between these 4 lies within the social dimensions that differentiate musical kinds, reminiscent of organizational form, organizational scale, or the function of typical gown and argot. Musics classified inside a given style type are topic to totally different normative expectations and conflicts: musicians working within scene-based mostly genres are anticipated to sustain local communities organized around their music, and face sanctions for producing work for the mass market; musicians working within business-based mostly genres are expected to promote data, and face sanctions for decreasing their marketability. Listening to JAN GARBAREK's charming soprano saxophone compositions is a worthwile expertise. This jazz musician from Mysen, has enthralled his viewers because the late 60's with his attractive sounds, experimenting with many genres and, at all times, with great virtuosity. His discography is a really lengthy checklist, but when to deceide for one album to advocate; Take a look at his Grammy nominated ‘In Reward of Goals ‘. An ideal mix of hip hop and electronic music, electro or electro-funk makes use of drum machine, vocoder and talkbox serving to it to differentiate itself from another related type of music, Disco. Notable artists who've been into this type of music include Arthur Baker, Freeez, Man Parrish and Midnight Star. Digital will get a foul rap because most individuals do not but perceive it. Its one of many newest types of music with so many different subgenres with so many variations of its usage that its completely mind boggling. My personal perception is that there's a subgenre of Digital music for everyone even those that claim to hate it. I hope someday that Digital music joins the annals of the very best music forms of all time as I personally believe it's the future. For those who really need to know the difference between minor music genres, you will want to get some listening training in drum grooves, as the majority of the time the drums offers you the most important and most evident hint as to what the style is. It also helps to get a way of common music historical past, as most style distinctions only make sense in the context of their previous genres and the genres with which they're interacting contemporaneously. Second, another have a look at the "simplistic" explanations: It's true that the music business has always sought to make the artists right into a controllable commodity they can sell not solely to the general public but to different companies. The business is focused on the bottom line and they do need a profitable formula. Rock groups (from the Nineteen Sixties on) have historically been a counter-tradition and anti-corporate pressure in our society. From the Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin to Rush, the rock artists wanted success but not at the expense of compromising their artwork. They received into the music because they love the music and the Album-Oriented-Radio rock artist appeared as a result of singles took an excessive amount of of their consideration away from taking part in and writing the music they honestly cared about.

Comparing the confusion matrix in table 10 and the confusion matrix for the quadratic Bayesian classifier using PCA in desk 5 , it is attention-grabbing to notice that: in the former, cluster 1 incorporates appreciable art works from the four genres (25 from blues, 32 from bossa nova, 46 from reggae and 30 from rock), in a total of 133 art works; within the latter, a substantial variety of art works from blues (22), bossa nova (23) and rock (31) have been misclassified as reggae, in a complete of 146 artwork works belonging to this class. Which means the PCA illustration was not environment friendly in discriminating reggae from the other genres, whereas cluster 1 was the one that almost all intermixed art works from all classes. Manage your media in your library — videos, pictures, and music — and refine it with art work and details together with plot summaries, bios, and more. As with different kinds of finding out music, YouTube is a great place to discover publish-rock songs and bands that you could be want to add to your playlists. For example, give the following songs a try subsequent time it's important to examine. If all you understand concerning the house of the blues is Elvis Presley, or (god forbid) that awful "Walking in Memphis" song, take into account this your crash course in "What Makes Memphis Musically Relevant one hundred and one." Yes, the King is Memphis' favorite son, however this town has additionally produced such notable acts as Justin "Derrrty Pop" Timberlake, the previous lead singer of Saliva, Josey "Oh, that dude?" Scott, and Aretha Franklin, who needs no nickname. Previous music was performed using real devices. The instruments used included: cello, viola, tuba, French horn, bassoon, trombone, trumpet and plenty of others. Throughout the early days of recording, the musicians needed to play the real devices. Due to this, the previous musicians needed to first study to play the devices properly earlier than recording the music. That is not the case with sure fashionable music. Some types of recent music rely heavily on pc packages. Using these applications, you can enter the sound of any music instrument without having the instrument at your disposal and even knowing methods to play it. This has given rise to hundreds of thousands of music superstars who even do not know probably the most fundamental music instruments.

Variations In Word Use Throughout Music Genres In Pitchfork Album Opinions

Many musicians select to release their songs under Artistic Commons licenses , which give you the authorized proper to do issues like use their music in your movies. Many of these research look particularly at how music impacts reminiscence, as well as what genres of music may have essentially the most optimistic impression. We'll dig into these research, forums.adobe.com but here is a spoiler alert: classical music is most persistently discovered to have the most important optimistic impression on reminiscence, but it surely's not that straightforward. So first, let's dig into how our brains form reminiscences. If you're bimusical, you have a tendency to have interaction a bigger community of the brain when you hearken to the 2 kinds of music," Wong said. MIDI files contain loads of information. Something in there might be read by computers and used to group music into totally different sets. To date, none of these attempts have been in a position to seize the exact genres of music that we outlined as people. Possibly they never will, as a result of quite a lot of relevant information is not in MIDI information in any respect. Most well-known Russian classical music composer wrote in a wide range of genres. He composed symphonies, operas, concertos, chamber music, sacred choral music, overtures, suites and ballets. Some of his greatest known works include his three ballets The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and the Sleeping Beauty, Marche Slave, First Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Overture 1812, Symphony No. 6, Fantasy Overture (Romeo and Juliet), Serenade for Strings and opera Eugene Onegin. Banda is a blend of virtually all the genres of the Mexican music, like the corridos, boleros, baladas, cumbias, rancheras, and likewise rock and pop. Banda is principally a big brass-based mostly form of music that mainly relies on percussion. It originated in the Sinaloa state of Mexico. Around 10 to twenty individuals are current in a band. The American band was banned for a very long time in Australia, in 1996 the nation stopped the sale of any Cannibal Corpse recordings and all copies needed to be stripped from music stores. The ban lasted ten years until it was lifted in 2006. The music of those days was a response to reality. The navy that ruled Nigeria for a greater part of its 58 years' independence had created so many issues. The urge to fight again was there, but all the time suppressed. Fela stood out because he stepped in aggressively together with his music. The outline of a genre is a group of patterns. Songs that share patterns may be grouped in a style that describes these patterns. You'll find these patterns in any music dynamic: rhythm, pace, progression, key, instrumentation, no matter. Drum and base is a genre of digital music that started from jungle and rave scenes in the UK in the early breakbeats characterize its kinds. Its typical beat is between one hundred and sixty to one hundred and eighty beats per minute with heavy sub basslines and bass. The popularity of this music at its industrial peak ran parallel to bounce styles of other homegrown beats within the UK including hard home and the large beat. Its subgenre contains hardstep, breakcore techstep, Darkish step, neuro funk and ragga jungle. The popular music genres in japan has influenced different genres like techno, rock, dubstep, journey-hop, house and pop. Do musicians select genres in regular patterns that form discrete complexes or are their choices comparatively unbounded? If they are bounded, what holds them collectively? How do they differ in terms of their boundary power and their inner differentiation? These questions information our analysis of the construction of genres within the MySpace musical universe. Open iTunes, go to your music library, and choose artists, playlists, or songs. Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" music video is perhaps crammed with a ton of hidden meanings and Easter eggs , however that didn't prepare me for what might be hidden in the tune itself. In keeping with rapper Princess Nokia, Ariana completely ripped off her 2017 tune "Mine" and normal it into the hit that everyone knows (and some of us love) immediately.

With the explosion of digital applied sciences and their software in music manufacturing, the 2 styles' deviation accelerated within the early to mid-90s, thank to the higher mass-attraction and marketability of New Age, and as a consequence of those new technologies' impact on digital music production, serving up the 2 genres' differing elementary ideology in different ways. While it grew to become even easier and a reasonably problem-less activity to produce New Age information, with each file farther diluting the already over-digested writing- production- and listening experience, Ambient music stayed true to its origin and took the more durable street: the problem of originality. Although not yet in a widely published approach (not that it has ever been widely printed), Ambient music began actually benefiting from the advances in digital audio- and music manufacturing, especially sample manipulation, new synthesis strategies and new digital devices and controllers. Jihadi nasheed (anasheed jihadiya) is a music genre synonymous with radical Islamic terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Songs within the genre always have radical and violent lyrics selling the ideology and activities of those groups or glorifying their founders.

Ivo Schmetz (Basserk)

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations. The city claims a majority of the Netherlands’ 14 million yearly visitors, who compete against the 800,000 permanent residents for space to take bridge-selfies. There are, of course, the obvious attractions: easily accessible weed, the Red Light District by night, museums, the medieval streets and pretty canals. There is, also, a more underground side to the city.

MusicMap got in touch with Ivo Schmetz, a co-runner of Basserk Records, the Amsterdam Alternative newspaper, and a programmer at underground venue OT301, to talk about the “creative Amsterdam” which is often celebrated within the city itself.

The below track is taken from a 10 year retrospective of Basserk’s output. That compilation can be heard in full on SoundCloud.

In ten words or less, how would you describe where you live? A small apartment in Amsterdam west.

What label do you run, and why did you start it, is there a particular philosophy behind the project? Basserk records is the label I run with two of my best friends. We started the label at the end of 2005 when we were still very active as a band. We couldn’t find a label that wanted to release our punky electronics so we decided to do it ourselves. Because we played a lot of live gigs with our band at the time we met loads of other bands and producers so it didn’t take long to get other musicians wanting to release on our label as well.

As a label we focus on discovering young talented producers and bands. We do not stick to a specific genre because we think that the creation of music is about experiment and joy. All the music we release fits within the description ‘Bleeps, Beats & Bass’. You can discover it on our website, SoundCloud page or of course the streaming channels.

What are the dominant music styles in your country, are there any exciting new music trends currently emerging? I guess the most dominant styles of music are the commercial ones. The ones that are being played most all over the world. I think Dutch radio for example is horrible. They only play the most boring hits ever and have no intention at all to play something that isn’t mainstream. They only care about the amount of listeners, which means money. This also translates to bars and clubs as well. The majority plays mainstream pop or mainstream house music. It is fine with me because this is what the majority of people likes. Luckily there is enough non mainstream places and channels, especially in Amsterdam and other big cities. Places that allow experiment and are not only focused on making money. In these venues you have most chances to hear new emerging styles (and of course online). New trends go very fast nowadays. I have given up trying to be up to date on everything. I still discover new things every week but I am not concerned about trends anymore.

Who are the key local acts we should be listening to right now? That is a very difficult question. There is a lot out there and that could change every day. From the top of my head I would say:

Precursor is a producer from Haarlem. We have released his debut album and second EP not long ago. He makes atmospheric electronics, sometimes a bit more techno style, sometimes more down tempo. Sjamsoedin is one of the guys from Nobody Beats The Drum. They split up a while ago. Sjam started his solo project. Lots of electronics but a great drive.

Awanto 3 is a project from Steven de Peven. He always does nice and funny things. A true artist. Red Light Radio is a good channel to discover new music.

Also, head to 22tracks. They curate nice playlists on Spotify. There is always a lot of Dutch talent on the lists as well

Tell us about the free newspaper you co-organise, what’s that project about and how does it tie in with the music scene in the city? The newspaper and website is called Amsterdam Alternative. It is a collective project from most of the non-profit alternative spaces in Amsterdam. We started the project in 2015 with a crowdfunding campaign. Obviously to get a little budget to start up the project but also to see if there was interest and enthusiasm for it. We made it and the reactions were very good. Most people were very happy to see this collective project happen. The nice thing about the newspaper and website is that it contains most of the programming/agenda of all the venues but maybe even more important there is space and a platform to publish articles. We write about political and social issues but also about art and music. I think it’s very important that the voice of alternative Amsterdam has platform again because it is important for a city like Amsterdam. The people that govern Amsterdam are very proud of the so called creative industry but they fail in a lot of things. Somehow they do not have the ability to see the long term effect of their stupid decisions. Everything is about money but the thing that has made Amsterdam great wasn’t money. It was freedom, variety, subculture, open minded spirits and the artistic minds that gave color to the city. Nowadays everybody that wants to do something a little different is banned, unless you bring a big bag of money. If you have money you can do everything. This way of life will destroy the true creativity and vibrancy that made Amsterdam. I hope there will always be a strong alternative group in Amsterdam, and that is why Amsterdam Alternative is an important project.

You’re involved as a programmer at the OT301, what’s the history of that venue and how did you get involved? The history is kind of long, we actually have published a book about it when we celebrated our 15th birthday. The book is called ‘Autonomy by Dissent’. To explain a bit about our history and what we are we have a short text that we have painted on the wall in our building. It says:

The OT301 has been squatted (1999) and bought (2006) by a diverse, international community that is united in an association called EHBK. We run this alternative, not-for-profit platform as a collective, in which housing, workspaces and public functions are combined to contribute to the arts, politics and subculture.

Are there any other venues in the city visiting musos should definitely check out? For sure. There is still quite a few alternative venues like OCCII, Vondelbunker, ADM, Plantagedok, Cinetol, Ruigoord, De Ruimte, Zaal100 en Filmhuis Cavia. You can actually find all these places on the website of Amsterdam Alternative. Besides the alternative venues there is also more commercial ones that have good musical programming from time to time. Think about Paradiso, Melkweg, De School or Radion. But there is more. Amsterdam isn’t dead yet.

For anyone visiting, what should they see and what should they eat and drink? Most people visiting Amsterdam for the first time want to see some of the obvious tourist attractions but once you have ticked them off your list there is still a lot to discover. It all depends on what you like but I would recommend the Amsterdamse bos or some of the parks on a sunny day. Amsterdam is small so the best thing is to just walk out of the city centre and see where you end up. Of course you can check the Amsterdam Alternative agenda online to see what is going on in all the alternative venues as well. A couple of those venues have a vegan kitchen as well. They are nice but besides that Amsterdam is full of good restaurants nowadays. If you want to eat something Dutch then go for kroket, frikandel, stroopwafel, haring or drop. (Don’t blame me if you don’t like it.)

What one song, past or present, sums up your country best? I am not sure about this one. In general I do not like Dutch singing or rapping that much. Some people would probably say that Andre Hazes has a couple of songs that would sum up Holland best but I think Doe Maar would probably be better because they made a lot of songs about Nederwiet and free thinking. Personally I have always liked the first couple of albums of Urban Dance Squat. They don’t really represent our country in song texts but it was one of the first bands world wide that started experimenting with the crossover of different styles like hiphop, rock and electronics. It was quite powerful and somehow that fits quite well with the Dutch mentality.

How do most people prefer to consume music in your country? I think most people are on streaming channels like Spotify or Apple music so that’ll be the way to listen to music when at home. Besides that we have a very lively festival culture. In Amsterdam alone there is more then 250 festivals a year so that is def a way that a lot of people consume music.

What are the biggest challenges faced by musicians in your country? The same as everywhere else. Most musicians struggle with the issue of making money from their creations. It is quite easy nowadays to produce music. Everyone with a laptop can make beats and get their tracks online but most people have a hard time reaching an audience. There is so much new releases every day, it is hard to get noticed. So for the people that want to a living from their music it can be difficult.

Besides this fact I think it is also getting harder and harder for musicians to be really original. So much stuff has already been made. I guess that is where the real artists distinguish themselves from the ones that are just making music because it’s fun and cool to make music.
