AnTuTu iPhone 14 Pro BenchmarksĪnTuTu benchmarks are carefully designed to determine the improvements owners can expect to see in real-life usage, rather than raw power as measured by Geekbench. With this test, we know that the A16 Bionic chip performs 10% faster in a single core than its previous model, while there is practically no difference with the multi-core part. Compared to the iPhone 13 Pro benchmark test, the predecessor of the iPhone 14 Pro has a single-core score of 1,797 and a multi-core score of 4,659.

She couldn’t understand why all songs didn’t use this system as she found letter such as “A”, “B” and “C” meaningless.Īs has been said, “doh” is moveable depending on the scale of the song or tune but it makes sense in some ways that people might think of “C” in the first instance. One singer once lamented that it made things for difficult for her when this wasn’t the case. In many old song books etc, you will actually see the notes “doh”, “ray” “me” and so on etc. They were slightly cryptic but I’ve got them now.Īctually, I thought the thread was a wind up at first but that’s, maybe, I’m looking at things from a tune player’s point of view. I skimmed through the posts and missed both your’s and that of Alpine Rabbit. Movable Do as we know is a Victorian invention and became popular in English speaking countries with efforts to encourage the singing of sacred music (there were various inventions, such as the shapenotes of Sacred Harp). The fact that it’s the minor scale that starts on A is sort of a coincidence.Īs this two octave range started to be extended, the modern system of repeating the note letters developed.ĭo-re-mi was an invention of Guido d’Arrezzo (sp?…) and referred to fixed pitches. So what you have here is a system centred around the major scale, but with a couple of notes underneath it, which makes a lot of sense for a system centred around vocal music. The simple answer is that at one point, almost all music existed in a two octave diatonic range, and the simplest possible system could be used to represent this: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N, one letter for each note. This is a very good question, and the discussion about doh-re-mi has sidetracked it somewhat. Re: why does the note A stands fpr LA and not DO, or why Do is the note C and nor A? The use of “Si” versus “Ti” varies regionally.“ # “Si” or “Ti” was added as the seventh degree (from Sancte Johannes, St. “Do” later replaced the original “Ut” for ease of singing (most likely from the beginning of Dominus, Lord), though “Ut” is still used in some places. These became the basis of the solfège system. These names follow the original names reputedly given by Guido d’Arezzo, who had taken them from the first syllables of the first six musical phrases of a Gregorian chant melody “Ut queant laxis”, which began on the appropriate scale degrees. In Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Romanian, Greek, Russian, Mongolian, Flemish, Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Turkish notation the notes of scales are given in terms of Do–Re–Mi–Fa–Sol–La–Si rather than C–D–E–F–G–A–B. Since a Bes or B♭ in Northern Europe (i.e., a Bdouble flat elsewhere) is both rare and unorthodox (more likely to be expressed as Heses), it is generally clear what this notation means. Occasionally, music written in German for international use will use H for B-natural and Bb for B-flat (with a modern-script lower-case b instead of a flat sign). Therefore, in German music notation, H is used instead of B♮ (B-natural), and B instead of B♭ (B-flat). “In parts of Europe, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Norway, Denmark, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Finland and Iceland (and Sweden before about 1990s), the Gothic b transformed into the letter H (possibly for hart, German for hard, or just because the Gothic b resembled an H). ![]() A few European countries, including Germany, adopt an almost identical notation, in which H substitutes for B” However, within the English-speaking and Dutch-speaking world, pitch classes are typically represented by the first seven letters of the Latin alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F and G). ![]() “In traditional music theory, most countries in the world use the solfège naming convention Do–Re–Mi–Fa–Sol–La–Si, including for instance Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, Poland, Romania, most Latin American countries, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia, and all the Arabic-speaking or Persian-speaking countries.

It’s like looking down at a guitar laying in your lap, with the big E string closest to you, and the little E string furthest away. The lines on a guitar tab represent the six strings on your guitar: the line on the bottom is the 6th string (the thickest), and the line at the top is the 1st string (the thinnest).

That’s because-bingo A quick review of how it’s laid out will show you how easy it is to understand. Traditional guitar tablature looks like the image below:ĭon’t be intimidated. There are also special notations with guitar tabs that show you how to play almost any type of articulation or effect that you can think of-such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and bends. With the guitar tab, you can learn chords, single-note melodies, and double stops (more on that later). While it’s great to learn standard notation too, most guitarists tend to use ‘tablature’ (‘tab’ or ‘tabs’ for short), as it’s so easy and intuitive to read. This is especially tricky on guitar and is something that lots of guitarists avoid.

![]() ![]() Precisely speaking, when an attack is for religious or political gain, the term terrorism is widely used. Piracy takes place when the motive is strictly for financial gain pirates try to board ships with the intention of robbing them or holding the crew or passengers hostage for ransom. Waters become international past the 12th nautical mile of territorial jurisdiction, and the prescribed Maritime Safety Protection Area is lawfully patrolled by international anti-pirate taskforces.īut there's another distinction between piracy and terrorism. Related: What Is a Cruise to Nowhere, and Why Aren't They Allowed From U.S. What's the difference between an act of terrorism and piracy? According to international law, it is a crime of piracy when an act is committed within international waters and, thereby, outside the territorial jurisdiction of any given nation. What Are Pirates, and How Do They Differ From Terrorists? Piracy warnings are also meted out in parts of the Red Sea and along both the eastern and northeastern coasts of Africa.īut it's important to know this: Cruise lines have prepared for many challenging scenarios, and ships are well-equipped to handle situations when pirates attack cruise ships. Other hot zones include Asia (particularly in the Strait of Malacca between Malaysia and Singapore), the Somali Coast and the Amazon River. Though the majority of concerns currently pertain to the Gulf of Aden, pirates can strike almost anywhere, at any time. It wasn't until the early 2000s that we were made aware of their efforts to attack cruise ships. And they strike often - far more often than most realize. Still, pirates today evoke the same fears as they did in ancient times. Whether or not the poor ever see a dime is unknown. Supposedly, these pirates seek to act as modern-day Robin Hoods, distributing wealth from the hands of the rich to those of the poor by capturing vessels and holding onboard personnel for ransom. Instead the role has been filled by angry young men carrying guns, rifles, grenades and missiles. Gone are the Blackbeards, Captain Kidds and other one-eyed, hook-handed robbers who plundered ships of yore. Never has there been a yawning void in pirate attacks on the seas, but pirate activity has slowed a bit in recent years. ![]() ![]() ![]() I asked if we would ever see a 10cc jukebox musical? “You know, I’ve heard several different ideas, but nothing’s ever reached fruition. The mention of a musical made me think of the Broadway and West End shows being produced around rock groups and their catalogue of hits. And I think if that doesn’t show you how powerful music is, then I don’t know what can”. A song that never fails to move me is “Somewhere” from West Side Story, written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. Is there a piece of music Gouldman keeps coming back to that he cannot live without? “You know, there’s so many pieces of music that I love or wish I’d written-it’s very hard to say. It’s like medicine, it’s life affirming and life giving”. Not only for me to be able to enjoy the life that I have, but it’s so much. “Well, I mean, it’s like breathing, eating and music-it’s that important. Which led us to discuss the power of music. ![]() I was 11 years old and that changed my life”. Well, the moment I think I wouldn’t be here today is when my late cousin Ronnie bought me a guitar. I wanted to know what set Gouldman on this musical journey and if there was one experience he was so glad happened? ![]() Well, I’m not very good at anything else, so I’m happy to still be doing it”. Gouldman added: “Anything you enjoy and look forward to and can do-as long as it’s good for you, and playing music is good for you-it’s good for your health. It’s a joy to do it and I think, in a way, it keeps you young as well”. A lot of us don’t have to do it, but we love to do it. There’s a lot of people who are older than me who cannot stop playing because they love it. This unending need to create music carries over to performing live, too. But, really, essentially it’s for yourself in a way”. Like a lot of my contemporaries, we write and record because we have to do it, and hopefully other people will like it. I don’t look for any million-dollar sales, but I love to record and write-and it’s great to have for the fans. I do it because I need to do it rather than anything else. ‘If you can do it better, or if it’s better for the song then you do it’”.ĭoes Gouldman still enjoy tinkering in the studio today? “I do. “That was because we always chose the best person for the job. “10cc is quite unusual in the way that we had three number-one singles with three different singers,” Gouldman said. The band was different to other chart-topping groups in that all members were multi-instrumentalists and singers who swapped roles depending on the song. We always tried to put something unusual sounding onto the track early on that would send us in a slightly different direction”. I think that was very important and made us what we were. A lot of the time, we didn’t have anyone else in the studio with us at all. “We were really emulating what the Beatles did in the late ’60s, in that the technology improved and we were very lucky we had our own studio and be completely self-contained. The creation of the last one-10cc’s most iconic synthesizer tape-looped soundscape, with its disguised lyrics of love-embraced the studio technology of the time. The group had a string of global chart hits in the 1970s, including: I sometimes feel a bit guilty about it, but what can I do? Someone’s gotta do it!”Īnd he’s been doing it since the 1960s with various incarnations of 10cc. It’s like being in a gang when you’re a kid, actually. “It’s just a joy to be with them, not only to make music with them, but, as travelling companions, we have a lot of fun together.
