![]() Also, I like the use of multiple layers in the background with the drum and also the keyboard as well as the singer’s voice. Also, I liked the way that the artist’s voice gets higher at 1:47 as I find that it is a good change from the normal pitch that his voice is at. I find that it adds a different element to the song. One element that I like that is used is at 0:29 when they use multiple voice tracks when the artist says “ooo eee”. It is commonly played on the radio and listened to by many. This recording of the song is authentic and is a representation of the type of afrobeat music that is popular today. The song that I chose was Drogba (Joanna) by Afro B, a popular Afrobeats artist. The style of music that I chose is Afrobeats from Sub Saharan Africa. unconventional) on top of the variation of lyrics. I can say they are different in terms of the instruments that are used (conventional vs. ![]() I can say that the two songs are similar in the sense of their melodies and texture of the songs. Additionally, at 0:52 they I really enjoy when they add the forks into the melody at the chorus, I think it gives the beat of the song an interesting twist. For example at 1:46 they incorporate the lyrics from “No Scrubs” by TLC. These singers also add different songs that also fit into the similar beat produced by the original song. In the video we can see that they use instruments like a jack in the box, pebbles, and forks. Now, as we move on to the variation of Ed Sheeran’s song which includes more unconventional instruments, has a lot of texture as well. These three instruments is what gives the song its catchy beat. The song’s sounds includes a guitar, an instrument that sounds something like a xylophone, and a guitar. The original song by Ed Sheeran is a very textured song. At 2:50, the singers repeats the chorus again, so this repetition emphasizes the sadness that he experiences. At 1:40, during the bridge of the song, the dynamics become louder as he sings more powerfully, adding an emotional impact as the listeners can feel his pain. There is a thin texture because the voice is the main melody and the piano is the only harmony. In Calum Scott’s version, the instrumentations consist of piano and voice, creating a more somber atmosphere throughout the song than the original, which is very upbeat. At 2:23, there is little background instrumentals, creating a thin texture with the singer singing the main melody. At 0:38, there is a higher-pitched drum sound adding a unique timbre to the song. ![]() Starting from 0:08, the deep percussion keeps the pulse that is the foundation of the song. The instrumentation consists of synths and percussion. However, Robyn’s version of the song is much more upbeat and has a faster tempo. Both songs are in the same verse-chorus form that is typical of popular music. Although they are essentially the same song, the original and the cover have very different vibes because of many musical changes. I am choosing one of my favorite pop songs, Dancing On My Own by Robyn and the cover by Calum Scott. ![]()

![]() ![]() I was just wondering if anyone else would think that'd be cool anyway. ![]() Game crashes to desktop after about 10 minutes of menu time. At the same time it would be good to feel like you get on top of a batsman and like bring them in into a vulnerable zone where they might chase a wide one or get frustrated and try hit a boundary depending on their mentality. My PC is state of the art home desktop with windows 10 and latest drivers. But i think it would be cool if the confidence meter could come into it more, like if you have low confidence you might miss your length and bowl a full toss or wide and not be able to bowl an in swinger or wrong'un, basically it would be good to be punished for bad bowling. The better the bowler the better they could execute the plan as well etc.Īnd when bowling, obviously in real life there's wickets at anytime whether it's a good ball or not. Form could come into it as well, like if you keep getting out the same way the Ai targets that plan for longer or more often during an innings. and that when bowling it's just luck when you get a wicket.ĭoes anyone else think it would be good if the Ai actually went through plans to get you out when batting? Like trying to bounce you out if you edge a pull or nick you off early in the innings and having appropriate fields for the plan rather then just having them block the gap you hit the last four through. ![]() So I've been thinking about the Ai and that a lot of people say that the fields set by the Ai are stupid when batting etc. ![]() ![]() Members can put a variety of other badges on their colours, rather like Boy Scouts and Cubs. "They have inventories of who's got a patch, or T-shirts or belt buckles and rings and all that sort of thing." Nearly all of this clobber is reclaimed from members if they leave the gang, although they might be allowed to keep a few trinkets. "A lot of the gangs are very strict about the amount of gang clothing people have," says Stokes, a former detective who specialised in the gangs from 1987 till 2003, when he left the force. Normally a gang will have one person in charge of making or acquiring the emblems and then sewing and glueing them on to the vest. Hells Angels are said to get their colours commercially made in Europe. "You and I couldn't go and ask for a Mongrel Mob patch, but if you're a member of the Mob you certainly could." The emblems are sometimes carved in leather or even just painted on, but most are embroidered, says Stokes, and are made by local outlets. The first Hells Angels chapter to be established outside California was in Auckland, in 1961. The colours "really are an imported American idea," says Black Power member and activist Dennis O'Reilly. The world of the outlaw gangs is in some sense curiously conformist, tending to use the same kinds of uniform and even the same structures laid down by the Angels (president, vice president, sergeant -at-arms, and so on). Many incorporate the skull and wings of the Angels' emblem, motifs which they in turn modelled on American airforce shoulder patches worn during World War II. They are vests made of denim or leather and their decoration typically follows the pattern laid down by the Hells Angels gang in the late 1940s. So what are the colours, these modest garments that cause so much angst and woe? The campaign by Wanganui mayor Michael Laws to ban patches from the city centre focuses many strong emotions. To the public, the patches are often a source of fear or alarm, and also curiosity. "It makes it easier for them to do some illegal activities because people see they are dealing with a patched member of a gang and that person is not likely to be an informant or an undercover cop," Stokes says. The patches are also a kind of business card in the criminal world. "The ultimate gang sin," says Gilbert, "is to lose your patch." The colours remain the property of the gang and must be returned if the member leaves. The gang patches are elaborate the Mongrel Mob's bulldog, the Black Power's clenched fist and are usually made to order by a local embroidery shop, says Cam Stokes, a former policeman who specialised in gang work. Mongrel Mob associates undergo trials such as "drinking excrement and urine from a gumboot, raping someone, or fighting three guys at once for a minute and surviving on your feet," writes former Mobster Tuhoe "Bruno" Isaac in his book True Red. Gang associates must spend at least a year as a gang serf before they can be patched, and often much longer. The gang member has a personal commitment to his patch, because it has cost him so much to receive it. "If you've stolen someone's patch, you've stolen their soul," Newbold says. The Mongrel Mob and Black Power like to sew their enemies' colours to the seat of their jeans. The trophy room, with the enemies' captured colours decorating the walls, used to be a regular feature of a gang's headquarters. ![]() Patches are sacred symbols rather like a nation's flag, says Canterbury University sociologist Greg Newbold, and, like flags, they are major trophies of war. ![]() ![]() "Black Power have the interesting rule," says gang researcher Jarrod Gilbert, "that you're not allowed to wear the patch on a pushbike." Doing so would demean the gang's symbol, and even turn it into a joke. Elaborate taboos surround these dark emblems. Gang patches are badges of honour: no wonder they cause so much trouble. But why do gangs want to wear them in the first place and what do all the little Boy Scout-style badges mean anyway? Last week Wanganui outlawed the wearing of gang patches in public.
