HIST390

Week 1 was the introduction of music history. The main question was why does popular music taste the way it does nowadays? which I believe,  todays music sounds the same because the same people write for different artist. Also, they create easy music/rhythm and if it becomes a hit song they’ll will create another song with similar tones. Producers use easy equipment for it and rather keep using the same instead of creating new techniques.
 Additionally, I was not familiarized with some of the terms used, such as dynamic rage in music. Throughout the class I was able to understand a little more of what it mean and how it worked. We were able to check a website and find artist with levels of dynamic rage. I learned that there is data compression and dynamic rage compression, people hear louder as better, technology has surrounded us with distractibility and how technology has definitely affected todays music.
