One of the more anachronistic teams in the Detroit techno underground, Octave One’s rough-and-tumble production values gel with most Motor City crews but for Lawrence Burden and his two brothers, the focus is completely on music with little political or social aesthetics behind their tracks. Burden originally began DJing in 1987 in a collective named VLE Nu AGE, then recorded a single in 1989 with the help of brothers Lynell and Lenny plus Anthony Shakir, Jay Denham and Juan Atkins. Originally released on Derrick May’s Transmat Records, “I Believe” made waves after being compiled onto the British Detroit compilation Techno!
The New Dance Sound of Detroit, helping the Burdens form Direct Beat/430 West Records (originally located at 430 West 8 Mile Road in Detroit). The labels became favored names for hard-hitting electro-bass tracks from Aux 88, Alien FM and Underground Resistance mainman Mad Mike Banks. Besides later Octave One output like “The X Files,” the Foundation EP and the Cymbolic mini-LP, 430 West released several volumes in the bass compilation Detroit: Techno City and Direct Beat obliged with the compilation Techno Bass: The Mission. In late 1997, Octave One released their debut album, The Living Key (To Images from Above).
Octave One has released 8 more tour albums since 'The Collective'. With over 0 years of albums, Octave One best tour album has been 'The Collective' and some of the top concert songs have been,,.
The following year brought The Collective, a look at the group’s back catalogue. Releases from other Octave One incarnations have also appeared, including Never on Sunday, Random Noise Generation (RNG) and Metro D.
Musical interval Perfect octave Name Other names - Abbreviation P8 Size 12 0 2:1 1200 1200 1200 In, an octave (: octavus: eighth) or perfect octave (sometimes called the ) is the between one musical and another with double its. The octave relationship is a natural phenomenon that has been referred to as the 'basic miracle of music', the use of which is 'common in most musical systems'. The interval between the first and second harmonics of the is an octave.
In music notation, notes separated by an octave (or multiple octaves) have the same and are of the same. To emphasize that it is one of the (including unison, and ), the octave is designated P8. Other are also possible, though rare. The octave above or below an indicated is sometimes abbreviated 8 a or 8 va (: all'ottava), 8 va bassa (: all'ottava bassa, sometimes also 8 vb), or simply 8 for the octave in the direction indicated by placing this mark above or below the staff. Demonstration of octave equivalency. The melody to ' with. The melody is paralleled in three ways: (1) in octaves ( and equivalent); (2) in (fairly consonant but not equivalent); and (3) in (neither consonant nor equivalent).
After the, the octave is the simplest interval in music. The human ear tends to hear both notes as being essentially 'the same', due to closely related harmonics. Notes separated by an octave 'ring' together, adding a pleasing sound to music. The interval is so natural to humans that when men and women are asked to sing in unison, they typically sing in octave. For this reason, notes an octave apart are given the same note name in the Western system of —the name of a note an octave above A is also A. This is called octave equivalency, the assumption that pitches one or more octaves apart are musically in many ways, leading to the convention 'that are uniquely defined by specifying the intervals within an octave'.
The conceptualization of pitch as having two dimensions, pitch height (absolute frequency) and pitch class (relative position within the octave), inherently include octave circularity. Thus all C ♯s, or all 1s (if C = 0), in any octave are part of the same. Octave equivalency is a part of most 'advanced musical cultures', but is far from universal in 'primitive'. The languages in which the oldest extant written documents on tuning are written, and, have no known word for 'octave'. However, it is believed that a set of tablets that collectively describe the tuning of a nine-stringed instrument, believed to be a Babylonian, describe tunings for seven of the strings, with indications to tune the remaining two strings an octave from two of the seven tuned strings. Leon Crickmore recently proposed that 'The octave may not have been thought of as a unit in its own right, but rather by analogy like the first day of a new seven-day week'.
Monkeys experience octave equivalency, and its biological basis apparently is an octave mapping of neurons in the auditory of the mammalian. Studies have also shown the perception of octave equivalence in rats , human infants , and musicians but not starlings , 4–9 year old children , or nonmusicians. Music theory Most are written so that they begin and end on notes that are an octave apart. For example, the C major scale is typically written C D E F G A B C (shown below), the initial and final C's being an octave apart. Because of octave equivalency, notes in a chord that are one or more octaves apart are said to be (even if there are more than two notes in different octaves) in the chord. The word is also used to describe melodies played in in more than multiple octaves.
While octaves commonly refer to the perfect octave (P8), the interval of an octave in music theory encompasses chromatic alterations within the pitch class, meaning that G ♮ to G ♯ (13 semitones higher) is an (A8), and G ♮ to G ♭ (11 semitones higher) is a (d8). The use of such intervals is rare, as there is frequently a preferable -equivalent notation available ( and respectively), but these categories of octaves must be acknowledged in any full understanding of the role and meaning of octaves more generally in music. Notation Octave of a pitch Octaves are identified with various naming systems. Among the most common are the, organ pipe, MIDI, and MIDI note systems.
In scientific pitch notation, a specific octave is indicated by a numerical subscript number after note name. In this notation, is C 4, because of the note's position as the fourth C key on a standard 88-key piano keyboard, while the C an octave higher is C 5. A similar example with 8 vb and 15 mb The notation 8 a or 8 va is sometimes seen in, meaning 'play this an octave higher than written' ( all' ottava: 'at the octave' or all' 8 va). 8 a or 8 va stands for ottava, the word for octave (or 'eighth'); the octave above may be specified as ottava alta or ottava sopra). Sometimes 8 va is used to tell the musician to play a passage an octave lower (when placed under rather than over the staff), though the similar notation 8 vb ( ottava bassa or ottava sotto) is also used. Similarly, ( quindicesima) means 'play two octaves higher than written' and 15 mb ( quindicesima bassa) means 'play two octaves lower than written.' The abbreviations col 8, coll' 8, and c.
8 va stand for coll'ottava, meaning 'play the notes in the passage together with the notes in the notated octaves'. Any of these directions can be cancelled with the word loco, but often a dashed line or bracket indicates the extent of the music affected.
