2.The first and the main rythm is our hearts' beats.
3. Tempo
4. Swing is a repeated part of the melody.

Melody

Part 1.
 - Music can act like a bridge between cultures, when language fails us. It conveys the feelings on their own.
 - "Pentatonic" is a system of 5 notes, which are used in music all over the world.
 - C, D, E, F, G, A, B.
 - There are 12 notes in a western scale. In different cultures the amount of note is different. It doesn't matter, how many notes you take for your melody, what matters, actualy, is how you deal with those notes.
 - "Pitch" is the measuring of how high or low a musical note is.


Part 2.
 - "Interval" is the distance between the notes in the melody. "Интервал". "Semitone" is the smallest interval between the notes. "Полутон". "Whole tone" is 2 semitons. "Полный тон".
 - The experiment: He's trying to sing 2 whole tones and then 2 semitones. He claims, that it is easier for people to sing the whole tones rather than semitones.
 - The creation of the melody is very similar to the creation of the story, and with playing notes, one by one, it's like you're telling a story, word by word. Storytelling is based on a large amount of archetypes. So it is with tunes. There are ancient patterns and arrangements of notes that function as archetypes for the millions of melodies.
 - "Modes" are basic common scales for all cultures.
 - The Aeolian mode sounds solemn and sorrowful.
 - "Sharpen the note" - raising it by a semitone. "Flatten the note" - lowing the note by a semitone. Group: "Blind Lemon Jefferson"


Part 3.
 - "Diatonic" - a system, where all the instruments and all the singers could play together. It takes one or two old modes and makes them sound together. "Диатоническая система"
 - The ol notes were much more attached that chosen started points. Tne minor scale patterns on changed and fixed. It can start on any of the semitones in Western ladder. The old instruments could only play the certain modes. Major scale is identical to the old Ionian mode, it was rebranded. The new minor and major scales were designed to be compatable with each other. 1. The same arrangement of notes works no matter what note or pitch you started your scale. 2. When the different modes developed, new instruments were produced, that could play together.


Part 4.
 - The first tone of the melody is presented in its basic form. Than minor key can turn to the major. Some minutes later another melody interrupts the first. It is short and dramatic. By the endof the concerto the melody involves the variations. 
 - Mahler started to incorporate old models of music from folk music all around the country. Vaughan Williams used in his compositions sall step by step movements in phrygian mood. 


Part 5.
 - Sting is assosiating in his "We work the Black Seam" ancient sound and sounds of industry around us. Ingredients of American music: Folk tunes, African temps, promisland rythm, optimistic mood, proportions.

Short story.

I never loved him.
Last summer started for me in a very good way. I was in love with a rather romantic guy. So we went together to a summer camp to work with children as leaders. In the beginning everything was perfect, we were getting on very well. The first season just had flown. We came back to the city, dated, celebrated my birthday - he gave me a golden ring. Such a sweet story... But I began to get bored a little, because I didn't see him as my stone wall, he wasn't a stone wall, actually. He kept asking: "What's wrong? Why are you so cold?" And I couldn't really answer this questions, so I kept silence. A hesitation whether I ever loved him took my mind at that time. In August we went to another camp to do the same job. And, finally, we broke up to the end of the season. The first nice guy I met there was a reason, we didn't date with that "reason", just I got pretty well, that I never feel something stronger to my nowadays ex-boyfriend than a sympathy. What a disappointment it was. I understood that he had too soft character for me. When I told him that everything is over he started to cry and beat the walls. Disgusting situation, he behaved as a real girl with all those weepings, while I was so calm, so confident. For sure, I never loved him.

piece of art

Artist:  Salvador Dalí

Title: The Persistence of Memory ( spanish: La persistencia de la memoria)

Date:1931

Medium: oil on canvas

Size: 9.5x13 inches

Country of Origin: Spain

Current location: MoMa (Museum of Modern Art) in New-York

It is the image of the soft melting pocket watch. It is possible to recognize a human figure in the middle of the composition, in the strange "monster" that Dalí used in several period pieces to represent himself – the abstract form becoming something of a self-portrait, reappearing frequently in his work. The orange clock at the bottom left of the painting is covered in ants. Dalí often used ants in his paintings as a symbol for death. The figure in the middle of the picture can be read as a "fading" creature, one that often appears in dreams where the dreamer cannot pinpoint the creature's exact form and composition. One can observe that the creature has one closed eye with several eyelashes, suggesting that the creature is also in a dream state.


To my mind, it's fantastic. This masterpiece makes me think about so many things, that I can't even separate them from each other. All these pocket watches symbolize the liquidity of time in our memories, in our dreams. There is an opposition between the name of the picture and the picture itself: in the name we see a word "persistence", but on the painting all the pocket watches are so fluid, that they can't be persistant at all. Everything is so inconstant, that you can fall deep into thoughts, when you look at "The persistence of memory".

James Cameron

1.When James Cameron was a child, he liked reading sci-fi books, he'd been doing it all the time. I don't think, that he was popular. Such people usually prefer to stay away from others, so it's rather difficult for them to find friends. But, it's rather good to know such person, because it is always interesting to talk to them.
2. 1960s were those years, when science began to develop in a very fast way, so, of course, it had a big influence on J.Cameron, especially taking to account that fact, that he liked science fiction. Now our time has also a kind of influence on us, we can't live apart from the world, from the society, so we live using some common stereotypes and so on and so forth. But still, I'm trying to be myself as much as it possible.
3.Everything in water seems really weird and bizarre and Cameron was interested in such things so much, so, thus he liked diving, and then, he could draw anything he could imagine. So, I guess, it's pretty simple, why he had hobbies like that. As for me, I usually have different hobbies in different periods of time. But, some of them are constant. For example, music, hockey, srtetching(of course because of my past).
4. There are CG, ILM in those films. They are good, for sure.
5. I reckon, that both things - imagination and exploration - were important to him, it actually should depend on the situation, what is more suitable at this very moment. Talking about me, these actions are significant in my life, but the choice always depends on my mood.
6. First - the respect of the team you deal with, second - to do whatever you want, absolutely boundlessly. I agree with it, for sure, but you have not to be afraid of possible fail and stuff like that.
