I also want to give a shout out to how responsive he can be.  I e-mailed him tonight for advice on digital SLRs as my sister is looking into buying one.  12 minutes later I got two suggestions with follow up questions to help narrow it further.

Kudos Don to being a great guy!

Check out his great blog and glossary of audio visual terms.

Dakwah dengan model tabligh melalui media audiovisual seperti yang dilakukan oleh Deddy Mizwar, di mana ”seni Islam”, film dan sinetron dan sebagai pendekatannya ini hanya merupakan salah satu varian dari sekian banyak model yang diharapkan dapat dijadikan sebagai inspirasi bagi umat Islam untuk terus berupaya memformulasikannya dengan sesuatu yang lebih menarik, efektif dan efisien.
Kalaupun akan disebut sebagai da`i (muballigh), maka Deddy Mizwar adalah seorang ”da`i plus”. Mengapa demikian? Karena ia berbeda dengan da`i-da`i lain sebagaimana pada umumnya. Deddy Mizwar tidak hanya paham dengan materi dakwahnya, tapi ia juga memiliki pengetahuan/ keterampilan untuk menyampaikannya agar lebih menarik dan mengena. Sebagai seorang aktor yang komitmen terhadap dunia dakwah, ia berusaha menyampaikan pesan dakwahnya lewat karya film dan sinetron yang ia sajikan secara apik kepada penonton (mad`u-nya). Ia tidak hanya mengartikulasikannya dalam bahasa verbal, melainkan juga ditunjang dengan bahasa non-verbal, tidak hanya audio melainkan juga visual.

Ribuan langkah kau tapaki
Pelosok negeri kau sambangi
Tanpa kenal lelah jemu
Sampaikan firman Tuhan...

Ketika Tangan dan Kaki Berkata
Lirik : Taufiq Ismail
Lagu : Chrisye

Akan datang hari mulut dikunci
Kata tak ada lagi
Akan tiba masa tak ada suara
Dari mulut kita

Berkata tangan kita
Tentang apa yang dilakukannya
Berkata kaki kita
Kemana saja dia melangkahnya
Tidak tahu kita bila harinya
Tanggung jawab tiba

Rabbana
Tangan kami
Kaki kami
Mulut kami
Mata hati kami
Luruskanlah
Kukuhkanlah
Di jalan cahaya.... sempurna

Mohon karunia
Kepada kami
HambaMu yang hina

Review:

This article pertains to whether presenting music live, audio-visually, or aurally makes any difference for listeners' experiences.

Prior to reading the article, I would say that the medium in which music is experienced most definitely effects the way the listener experiences the goings on. It is one thing to enjoy a band while listening to their CD, or mp3 (as we have denoted through project 2 as the most popular means), yet a completely different understanding is gained through attending a live performance. Finnas's article brings up the point that there are "three fundamental forms of music in our modern musical culture, live music, ausio-visually presented music, and aurally presented music" (p. 55). And all three bring about different experiences and reactions to the music itself.

Live music denotes that both the artist and the fan, or listener are present at the performance. Live performances "clearly [have] a particular immediacy and vividness" (p. 57). The music surrounds you and is up front and clear. When all of your senses are heightened by whats is going on you are more likely to "attend to the situation confronted and to retain the information about it" (p. 57). At times a listener may feel connected to the performer. There is the opportunity for eye contact, for intimacy, for direct communication of the message. "This implies a situation making the musicians especially disposed to communicate their messages expressively to an audience especially disposed to listen with attention and receptivity, trying to experience the music in empathy with the musicians" (p. 57).

Audio-visual presentation is a form of media used to "transmit or reproduce music simultaneously with visual material, generally moving pictures" (p. 56). Examples of audio-visual music experiences would be watching a concert on tv, music videos, youtube videos, dvd's that accompany cd's, or any other form of pre-recording of music that is accompanied by visual elements. Although on still experiences the music by listening to it and viewng what the artist intended, they can never comprehend or re-create the atmosphere felt, or the feel of direct communication obtained while watching a live performance.

Aural presentation of music is "simply listening to technically transmitted music without particular visual stimuli" (p. 56). In listening to music the listener is in charge, they control the atmosphere, the flow of the piece, the beginning and ending of listening. In the past the quality of sound of aural performance may have been a significant factor but "modern reproduction techniques have radically reduced these differences in acoustical fidelity" (p. 56). There is no physical connection or communication involved. it is a one way street. Benefits of aural music presentation reside in the idea that "visual stimuli may interfere in a negative way with listening to music" (p. 57). It make distract the listener. When visual stimuli is included, whether live or pre-recorded, the listener/observer may become distracted by the aesthetics, what the performers are wearing, the lighting involved, the positioning of the instruments, the dancing that may accompany the performance, etc. These are not factors in the aural performance analysis of music.

Although, "Aetheticians, musicians, music educators and psychologists have drawn attention to the possibility that some visual features accompanying music may not only leave the listener's experience undisturbed, but may even influence it positively" (p.57). I guess it all depends on how you are judging the music experience, if it is solely on the music or if you're including the "extra-musical elements" as well (p. 58). In some of the studies reviewed students who attended live shows expressed greater overall interest in furthering their knowledge and attendance of music experiences.

To conclude, " the results [of these studies] clearly suggest advantages of an increased use of live music for enhancing affective and attitudinal reactions" (p. 74). To research the topic further it was suggested that studies be conducted of "the effects regarding less 'concert-like' live presentation[s]" (p. 74). Possibly isolating the experience to a room with a band verses a room with a tv playing a song of the band with visual representation verses a radio playing the band's music.

Di berbagai kota besar di Pulau Jawa, belum lama ini didirikan Digital Outdoor dengan LED System. Media ini berada di tempat2 strategis yang diletakkan di atas Pos Polisi di berbagai perempatan yang memang lalu lintasnya krodit.

Digital Outdoor tersebut digunakan oleh-klien utamanya, atau mungkin pemiliknya-Djarum semua produk (Black, LA Light, Djarum Super) dan berbagai event yang disponsorinya. Taktis memang, Djarum menggunakan media ini untuk mempromosikan group brand mereka karena dianggap cukup ekonomis walaupun di awalnya diperlukan investasi yang tidak kecil.

Di Pasaraya Blok M, juga didirikan Media Digital Outdoor yang dinamakan Pasaraya BigScreen. Media ini terselenggara atas kerjasama Pasaraya dan Tritama Media, suatu perusahaan billboard di Jakarta. Media yang satu agak berbeda dengan milik Djarum karena teknologinya menggunakan LCD Projector dengan pencahayaan yang sangat tinggi dan dilengkapi dengan sound (Audio Visual).

Media BigScreen ini boleh digunakan oleh siapa saja sebagai sponsornya layaknya iklan2 di TV. Hanya saja, tidak semuanya berupa iklan melainkan ada konten lainnya, misalnya pemutaran klip2 musik yang saat ini sedang di rilis oleh produsen rekaman.

Biaya penyelenggaraannya? Sangat ekonomis tidak seperti LED System. Maka bagi pemasang iklan di media ini hanya dikutip biaya iklan sebesar 10 - 25 rb per spot (gross) sebelum di diskon.

Nah bagi rekan2 agency billboard atau pengiklan yang ingin memanfaatkannya, silakan mempertimbangkannya.

Salam dan Sukses.

That limits my chances of ever making it in the film business, but if I do make it it means I'm really good. I want to be really good, and I want an Oscar before my 50th birthday! See you in Hollywood.

I am enjoying all the extra time off at the moment as it is giving me some time to do some mixing. I've just uploaded a new downtempo demo mix Fluidity. You can find the details on the demo mixes page.

I found the following items stuck up my toilet drain last night:

1/2 a pencil

1 nail brush

1 contact lens case

3 tooth brushes

and last but not least:

A bottle of contact lens solution (120 ml)

The funny thing is the toothbrushes went missing a week ago, and the toilet was working fine until last night! Both Paris and Kaia informed us that they were "down toilet" with gleeful giggles, but the toilet flushed, so I thought the brushes were either long gone or somewhere else.

After a week I really wanted to brush my teeth so I put on a rubber glove and stuck my hand down the toilet. Just joking! I actually spent $65 (really $65 ugh!) on new toothbrushes and toothpaste the day before. I thought the electric ones would be harder to loose.

My question is what did they actually manage to flush away? Is that where Tyler's cell phone went?
