Songwriter Reflections: Sept 11 Reflections
http://billpere.blogspot.com/2010/09/sept-11-reflections.html
Saturday, September 11, 2010. Sept 11, 2010:. Having spent so much time in lower Manhattan as a child,. It hit home especially hard as I watched 9/11/01 unfold on TV that morning. A week or so later,. I started to write a song about it,. And after a day or two, I had parts of a verse and chorus set to music, some assorted images, and pieces of other lines. To this day, it remains unfinished, as I came to find it had more meaning being left in fragments. Woven in her own unique and artful way. It seems th...
Songwriter Reflections: The Other Woodstock
http://billpere.blogspot.com/2009/08/other-woodstock.html
Saturday, August 29, 2009. The new movie "Taking Woodstock" opened today, celebrating the 40. Anniversary of the historic music event of 1969. Estimates put the crowd there in upstate NY at about 500,000. I was too young to go, so I was in Rockland County NY that weekend with my girlfriend, whose older sister (unbeknown to her parents) was at the festival. Upon her return, I got a firsthand account of what it was like. For the next four years,. I was one of them. From New York to Boston was at that event.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Let's Ban the Dictionary! Songwriting is the art of blending the sounds, meaning, and rhythm of words to touch the hidden places within people. I've often said that a great lyricist is perhaps the most valuable commodity in the music business. The Professor and the Madman. It's the amazing and riveting story of how the Oxford English Dictionary was created. Person 1: The history of the dictionary is seriously in my history book. WHY? Person 2: I should probably get on that.

Saturday, December 26, 2009. Avatar - an Example for Songwriters. I've always said that songs, in addition to being entertaining, can be enhanced when they have something meaningful to say, and they convey it with clear communication, as opposed to abstract expression using references known only to the artist. The same is true of most art forms - dance, TV/Movies, Graphic Novels, theater, etc. Sure, there will be Na'vi action figures, but the overall level of "buy this! Links to this post.

March 8, 2010. Sail the C-Seven: Chord Naming. When I have a client who wants to learn about music theory, I make sure we spend however many sessions it takes so that they understand the essentials of chord names, and don’t ever get caught using that dreaded term "Dominant 7th chord". The names of chord are based on the distance (interval) between the root of the chord, and each of the other notes in the chord (i.e. the name of the chord tells you what notes are in the chord). Other points to remember: J...

March 21, 2011. From Triangle to Wisconsin. The disaster gave rise to the cry "who will look out for the working girls"? One positive result of the fire -. The American Society of Safety Engineers was founded in New York City on October 14, 1911. Now, in March 2011, 100 years after the fire, we hear a new cry emerging – "Who will look after the workers? This is in response to the effort in many states to strip workers of the collective bargaining rights they have worked for so many decades to secure.

Songcrafters' Coloring Book: June 2011
http://songcrafterscoloringbook.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
June 29, 2011. In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night. A stroke of the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles. It was a summer day in 1960, as I walked past a gardenia-scented hedge in the Bronx, and entered the local mom-and-pop newsstand, which always smelled of jasmine. I walked out with the first issue of Green Lantern, and have been a fan ever since. When aspiring songwriters ask me where I learned to write in the cinematic, story-telling style that I gravitate towards,. The answer is simple.

August 15, 2009. The Power of Why. Music legend Les Paul passed away this week. Aside from transforming music through his inventions like the electric guitar, reverb, and multi-track recording, perhaps his most important contribution is a life that is a testament to the power of asking "why". Understanding the difference between creation and craft is a key to better songwriting. And in this digital age where you are competing fiercely for the awareness and attention of an audience, it is ultimately t...

September 2, 2009. How to Lead People to Your Music in a Digital Age. With the maturity of digital delivery and a proliferation of websites that allow easy uploading and legal downloading of music, the old models of making and marketing CDs are gone. The shift from an album-based economy to a track-based economy spawns many new considerations for the Indie artist when the time comes to go into the studio and record. This leads to the obvious question, is the concept of an "Album" even valid anymore?

December 26, 2009. Little Boxes - The Flow of Information in a Song. It is not uncommon to see songs brought to critique sessions where the first verse and chorus are solid and engaging, but the subsequent verses are a let-down. They don't take the momentum that the first verse creates and build on it t o move the song forward. Often, a second verse just re-states what the first verse has already said instead of presenting new information. There are some strategies and techniques for dealing with this.

July 30, 2010. Role Call - You Are Bartholomew Cubbins. In the Beginning, Bartholomew Cubbins did not have 500 hats. He had only one hat. In the traditional music business model, you, the songwriter or artist would be under contract to a large record company and publisher, who would then call all the shots. In today’s world of Independent artists, YOU are the one who puts others under contract to you. The key is to know. A) what types of roles/tasks need to be done. B) which ones you can do yourself.

Songwriter Reflections
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. I joined my first band in 8. Grade, supposedly to play bass. There were two other guitar players, along with a very talented drummer. 8211; One guitarist had just gotten a Farfisa keyboard and wanted to play that, which was fine with the rest of us, as it was great to have a keyboard in the band. The other guitarist,. Having lots of money and not a lot of rhythm, got a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar, and couldn’t play it. Eventually the band members went separate ways,.
