Bands like Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, Quo Vadis, Garguts, Augury, Voivod, Martyr and Neuraxis have a large underground following and have signed with great hits. This article presents an overview of the social and cultural merits attributed to the ecologies of live music in urban environments. It is based on a qualitative content analysis of live music reports and strategies from Australia, the United States, South Africa, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Scotland and the Netherlands. As a contribution to the emerging academic literature on the ecologies of urban live music, this study improves the understanding of the social and cultural values of popular music concerts in cities.
To date, the ways in which the social and cultural merits of the urban ecologies of live music can be supported have received very little attention, because public discourse has emphasized the economic impact of musical creation. In our analysis, we found three different dimensions for social value (social capital, public participation, and identity) and three for cultural value (musical creativity, cultural vitality, and talent development). In addition, we discuss how these values can be supported through cultural policies and specific urban planning interventions. Meanwhile, the MUSIC model provides a useful framework for conceptualizing and measuring musical preferences across the lifespan. Canadian country music used a more marked vocal style than American music, and was left with more traditional ballads and narrations, while American country music began to use more songs about bars and lovers' fights.
However, a potential problem with current work is that several of the musical excerpts used in the measure of musical preference came from pieces recorded by famous musical artists (e.g. (e.g., this confusion obscures the meaning of the factors, in particular the sophisticated factor, because it was unclear whether the factors reflect preferences for general musical characteristics common to the factors, or if the factors merely reflect preferences for instrumental over vocal music). It is tempting to assume that the structure of musical preferences can be more stable and enduring than that of the genres that are included in any period of time because musical styles come and go, their cultural relevance and popularity fluctuate and, consequently, their social connotations change. To determine the extent to which the location of a piece of music within the multidimensional musical space was determined by the genre or the attributes of the piece, a series of hierarchical regressions were made in the excerpts. As Hevner (193) pointed out, listening to isolated chords or modified music is not the same as listening to music as it was originally intended, which usually involves an accumulation of musical elements that are expressed and interpreted as a whole.
Specifically, the judges were ordered to remove from the list the attributes that could not be easily used to describe a piece of music and then to order the remaining musical attributes in order of importance.
Canadian music genres identify musical
sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music performed by Canadians. Next, two different judges independently assessed the extent to which each musical descriptor could be used to characterize various aspects of music. Each of these factors resembles those described above, and the high degree of convergence between current studies and previous research suggests that musical preferences, whether by genres or by attributes of musical pieces are defined by five latent factors.It seems that one of the ultimate goals of a music recommendation system is to characterize an individual's musical preferences using an equation. These analyses shed light on how much variation in MUSICAL factors is due to musical attributes and whether genres add incremental validity. Are there any Canadian bars that specialize in a particular genre? The answer is yes! Across Canada there are many bars that specialize in different genres such as country music, rock 'n' roll or jazz. These bars provide an opportunity for people to come together to enjoy their favorite type of music while also providing an atmosphere for socializing with friends or meeting new people.
Furthermore, these bars often host live performances from local artists or even international acts. These bars provide an important platform for local musicians to showcase their talents while also providing an opportunity for people to discover new artists or genres they may not have been exposed to before. Additionally, these bars often provide an opportunity for people to learn more about different types of music through workshops or educational events hosted by local experts. In conclusion, Canadian bars that specialize in particular genres offer an essential platform for local musicians while also providing an opportunity for people to discover new artists or genres they may not have been exposed to before.
