To earn 15 extra credit points, simply post a comment below or email your comment to tmorrow@gordontech.org no later than 5:30 pm tomorrow, September 6th!

Share a song, any song with diverse dynamics OR tempo changes. Use vocab words when you see fit.
Explain what happens in the song you have chosen, and please share a youtube link.

Here's mine.


The Civil Wars (surprised?)
"Devil's Backbone"



@ :43 seconds, the dynamics take a chilling dip down, as they sing the "ooh" section.

@ 1:37 seconds, the drums kick in and we see a crescendo (<) to the dynamic peak of the song.

@ 1:54 seconds through the end of the song, the vocals are hushed and haunting.

Imagine this song with no dynamic changes... Pretty lame huh?

    At 0:32 seconds the dynamics rise up as the beat kicks in with the drums and other guitars.
    At 1:23 the dynamics rise up a lot
    At 2:38 the dynamics go all the way back down
    At 2:55 the tempo begins to pick up.
    At 3:17 the dynamics drop again
    At 3:28 the dynamics pick up again

    Two here is my extra credit

    the song starts with low tempo and dynamics to give us a gloomier darker feal.

    @ 4:03 the Dynamics begin to speed up to give us a idea that something more is begining to happen

    @ 4:36 the Tempo speeds up saying ya something is deffinately going on

    The song starts with a lower dynamic and at 1:10 the songs dynamic becomes higher and a more happier tone.
    The tempo is at about a medium range not going to fast or slow in the song and around 2:08 when the ohhs kick in the tempo becomes slower then picks up again around 3:32.

    This song is called An Endless Sporadic by Impulse

    This song starts with a steady kinda low built up dynamic right at 0:19 the song's dynamic gets higher and a more rock and roll tone. Then at 1:00 an organ starts playing which is very weird thing to happen in a freestyle electric guitar song. Up to this point at 1:48 a very peaceful tone starts to come in and soothes the song.
