Once again bus drivers that work for the Flemish public transport company De Lijn are taking industrial action
drivers at the Tremelo depot in Flemish Brabant and the Westerlo depot in Antwerp Province have walked out
The strike is the latest in a series of walkouts by drivers at De Lijn in recent weeks
The drivers are unhappy at De Lijn’s plans to scrap some bus routes and to introduce new shift rosters from January that will result in drivers being required to work more split shifts
De Lijn’s Anneliese Meynaerts told journalists that “Drivers at 2 depots
walked out on Monday morning and this has caused disruption to services in these areas
this mainly concerns lines 520 (Mechelen-Tremelo) and 530 (Mechelen-Aarschot-Tremelo)”
Ms Meynaerts added that passengers are advised to consult De Lijn’s online route planner either on the website www.delijn.be via the Flemish public transport company’s app
She also said that talks aimed at finding a resolution to the dispute are ongoing and De Lijn regrets any disruption caused by the strike action

For some people with Parkinson’s disease (PD)
medication doses treat their tremor very well
medication doses are clearly effective for symptoms of slowness and stiffness
deep brain stimulation (DBS) or focused ultrasound may be suggested to help a tremor that seems resistant to medication
A different approach that is being developed for people with tremors of all kinds (not just PD)
wearable medical devices that can suppress tremor
a number of devices with different mechanisms of action designed to suppress tremor have been developed
I will explore this type of equipment and its use in PD
there are many different products currently in the development pipeline that are attempting to tackle this problem
Some of the products have reached a point at which they are available for purchase
but there are many other devices in development that have not reached this stage
For those looking for more detailed information, Biosensors medical journal published an article that is a great resource for devices currently on the market or being developed
Most devices mentioned in this post are unfortunately not covered by insurance
These devices typically will cost in the hundreds of dollars out of pocket
Some of the manufacturers will offer financial assistance and/or payment plans
Many manufacturers will allow you to try out their devices and return them for a refund (some offer a complete refund
and some do not) if you are not satisfied with the results
electrical stimulation is applied to the skin’s surface to stimulate the sensory nerves
the nerves that carry information about pain
and body positioning from the limbs to the brain
The exact mechanism of how this stimulation suppresses tremor is not completely worked out
It is known that sensory nerves connect from the arms and legs to a part of the brain called the thalamus
It is thought that stimulating the sensory nerves can disrupt pathological circuits in the thalamus that are responsible for tremor
Cala One was the first transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation system approved by the FDA in 2018 for tremor control. A newer version, Cala TrioTM
Cala-Trio is FDA-cleared and is available with a prescription from your doctor
The device is worn on the wrist and applies electrical stimulation to the median and radial nerves
someone with a DBS system in place is not able to use Cala One or Cala Trio
A randomized controlled trial of Cala One showed mixed results
self-rated improvements on activities of daily living were 50% in the treatment group and 27% in the control group
electrical stimulation is applied to the skin’s surface to stimulate the motor nerves which carry information from the brain to the muscles to trigger muscle contractions
A number of these systems are under development
and some are closer to market in Europe than they are in the US
In this type of system the device contains elements which absorb the extra energy created by the tremor to dampen the movement of the tremor
These systems are purely mechanical and do not need an electrical supply
There are three systems that utilize this type of approach
There are no published clinical trial data yet for these devices
although the manufacturers report that their internal testing demonstrates efficacy
Other energy dissipation systems are under development as well
The three systems that are currently available are:
Tremelo – this system uses a technology called tuned mass damper technology in which springs are attached to weights embedded in a wearable sleeve
the spring makes the mass move back and forth
This system (which is similar to systems that stabilize skyscrapers and bridges from wind and earthquakes) thereby dampens the energy of the tremor
Steadi-Two (Steadi-One was the first version of this system) — uses magnetic tuned mass damper technology to reduce tremor
a disc surrounded by magnets is embedded in a sleeve
Whenever the hand moves in one direction due to tremor
thereby counteracting the movement of the tremor
Readi-Steadi® — is a customizable weighted glove which can help dissipate tremor
In these systems a wearable device contains elements that sense the tremor and then exert an active force to counteract the tremor
In this system, gyroscopes are used to counteract the forces generated by tremor. The GyroGloveTM uses multiple miniature gyroscopes in a wearable glove
It is currently under development and cannot be purchased yet
In addition to devices worn directly on the wrist
utensils have been designed to help people with tremor eat more easily
weighted utensils can help to dampen tremor and many of these types of products are available for purchase
Liftware SteadyTM is a product that works by generating movement of the utensil in the direction opposite of the detected tremor
So far there is a small amount of clinical trial evidence supporting the use of Liftware
wearable devices for tremor suppression have minimal to low risk of side effects and may be good options for some people whose tremors are not well controlled with medication (having had DBS surgery limits a person’s use of the tremor suppression systems that utilize electrical stimulation
If you are interested in trying a wearable tremor suppression device
talk with your doctor to determine if one of these options may be a good choice for you
We anticipate that additional clinical trial data will help us better understand the potential of these devices in the treatment plan of Parkinson’s disease tremor
We look forward to more research in this area and more devices coming to the market so that people living with PD can have more effective
options to help them live life to the fullest despite their PD tremors

The power of music has always been a vessel for connecting with others – it supersedes language
It is a method that has brought the farthest ends of the world closer together
“Honest Man (DJ Tremelo Remix)” and “Something To Fk With (DJ Tremelo Remix)” embody that very sentiment
Matell’s passion for music has always been clear
there were few people who influenced him as much as actor and rapper
A handful of conversations fueled by a deep connection with music between Carter and Matell made the Colorado-based artist want to release the singles now
it became a fire that will burn forever within Matell
Matell reflects on his light-hearted conversations with Carter
“We tossed around ideas and talked about other things along the way
My heart goes out to his son Prince Lyric Carter.”
Matell’s collaborative effort embody the spirit of Carter’s music and general take on life
Matell wrote these songs exclusively for Aaron to sing and produce on his Rakkaus Records
“‘Honest Man’ came from a conversation about people taking you seriously
Carter told me he would stay home and work on his music
despite what people said – and that’s where I got that concept.”
““Something To Fk With” came from our messages online
We would go back and forth writing instrumentals to lyrics or vice versa
and I decide to change one of those compositions to reflect the current climate in the news and the chaos in the world.”
Matell has appeared as a featured performer in tribute to iconic jazz singer Nancy Wilson at the BMA Music Awards
and as a special guest on Minnie Foxx’s Los Angeles concert tour
He has been honored by VH-1’s Save The Music and nominated for Song of the Year as a lyricist for “We Will Survive.” Matell was also nominated for the Best Editor’s Choice Award for Outstanding Writing for “Eastern Trees” by the American Poetry Society
Your spirit lives on through your artistic integrity.”

Music: Kevin MacLeod
Trivium's guitar duo takes some time off to discuss all things shred
He's always been an incredibly talented guitarist
he brings not only mesmerizing ability to the table but also fantastic songs
It's very rare that technical guitarists can make interesting songs that aren't just brain exercises and fretboard pyrotechnics
the two albums that really inspired me were Megadeth's Rust in Peace and Slayer's Reign in Blood
HEAFY My biggest inspiration for fast playing was Krisiun's Apocalyptic Revelation
That's the album that got me really into learning tremelo picking
I think the tremelo-picking technique is being used more and more every year by heavy bands and is a very versatile technique that can be applied to leads and rhythms alike
"Aborticide (Into the Crypts of Holiness)" is the song that inspired me to get very precise with tremelo picking
and since then tremelo is something I utilize on all fronts of guitar playing
What helped you progress dramatically as a guitarist
BEAULIEU My teacher gave me a really good practice regimen
just learning and playing along to songs helped me learn chord patterns
which really challenged me and improved my chops
I would watch the tape and learn the exercises in the booklet
To this day I still use the memorized exercises to warm up before every show
but it's definitely the hardest to keep up on if I don't practice it often
HEAFY Playing guitar and singing simultaneously
and then you have to bring the two together slowly
I used Metallica's Master of Puppets and the Cunning Stunts videoto emulate and learn how to play guitar and sing at the same time
It takes years of practice to combine influences and mold it into a new
What key performance in your discography is a successful example of what you try to achieve
BEAULIEU The songs I get the most compliments on are "A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation" [Ascendancy] and "In the Fire" [Roadrunner United]
my goal is to add to the track and make my parts catchy so that they stay with you
HEAFY The solo section in "Rain," from Ascendancy
seems to be a great embodiment of the stylistic niche in which I think I shine
but you have to be sensible about what you're doing if you want to complement the song
"Rain" is a blueprint at times for me to remember what my strength in my playing is
BEAULIEU The lead players I really enjoy bring a melodic sense to the shred and make it catchy
HEAFY The people who do that ludicrous 1,000-notes-a-minute playing are just working out the technical aspects of guitar to its fullest
they completely neglect what I think is most important in musicianship: songwriting
but it's all about the music when it comes to bands that perform songs
It's difficult to master songwriting and technical prowess
It almost seems like you have to pick which one you'll favor
My goal as a player was always to be in a metal band and make a career out of writing and playing music
We've collected between 30 to 40 songs and are narrowing that down to the best 14 for the album
it's all about being what I am best at and finding the exact voice that is my playing
Our next record is comprised entirely of sounds that are uniquely and truly us
and the playing has to shine through with that mindset
there’d be all these cases open and they’d say

English band the Charlatans (aka The Charlatans U.K.) came of age with 1990’s Some Friendly
The album featured the organ-fueled alternative rock hit “The Only One I Know,” which nodded to classics by the Byrds and Deep Purple
The quintet’s sound was bundled into the era’s Madchester scene
and touchstones to psychedelic and classic rock
and Mark Collins’ guitar each signify the group’s sonic identity today
anchored by founder Martin Blunt’s reliable Motown- and Stax-informed bass
Former Verve drummer Pete Salisbury completes the lineup with style
performing at Bottom Lounge in support of the Different Days album
On February 7, the Charlatans return to perform at the Vic Theatre alongside shoegaze pioneers Ride
The co-headlining Between Nowhere tour falls on the 30th anniversary of the bands’ Daytripper dates in 1993 when both acts were supporting their second albums – namely the Charlatans’ Between 10th and 11th with the clattering and groovy “Weirdo” and Ride’s Going Blank Again including “Leave Them All Behind.” At the Vic
the Charlatans will perform Between 10th and 11th in its entirety
Ride will play its debut full-length album
including shoegaze touchstone “Vapour Trail.” Both bands promise sets full of additional fan favorites and surprises
IE: Have the Charlatans and Ride played together since Daytripper
or is this just something you do every 30 years
TB: We actually played on the same bill at a festival in Austin
“I wish I’d written that?”
TB: I really like “Mouse Trap.” I like the chords and the vocal section
but the vocal section and the harmonies are fantastic
I really love “Leave Them All Behind” as well
I would say that I was a massive Going Blank Again fan
IE: What Charlatans song do you think would be best for Ride to cover
TB: Maybe “Sproston Green.” Maybe we could ask Andy (Bell) to join
TB: We’ve had tons of people do “Sproston Green” with us
We’ve had (drummer) Stephen Morris and (keyboardist) Gillian Gilbert (both of New Order) play with us
There’s no reason why we couldn’t have Loz (Ride drummer Laurence Colbert) play with Pete
There won’t be the same thing every night
IE: I wonder how people will celebrate the anniversary of Between 10th and 11th at shows
you won’t be dodging bouquets of bananas
TB: There’s plenty of banana skins to be slipped on through life
IE: The Charlatans began around 35 years ago
Was there a point when you stopped wondering when the band’s career might crash and realized that it could continue as long as you wanted
My drive was to never have to work in a proper job again
and that album (1995’s The Charlatans) was really successful
Then we followed up with Tellin’ Stories
there’s been things like the death of (original keyboardist) Rob Collins and the death of (original drummer) Jon Brookes
where we’ve obviously realized it’s hard to say whether or not we’ll be working again next week
IE: As much as I love hearing the band play new songs
one reason I’m looking forward to this Between 10th and 11th show is that I’ve never heard you play “Page One.” That’s a personal favorite
IE: I remember reading that “Page One” was written about feeling trapped by where the band was at that time
Have 30 years changed how you think of those days
TB: It was a really difficult time for the Charlatans at that point
and it was suggested that “White Shirt” become a (second) single in America and that we do a video for it
Julian Temple was set to set to do the video
we did an about-turn and decided that we wanted to release a four-track EP
Then it was time to go and release the follow-up album
we had to write in the studio – a very tough lesson
And so I think the whole album is quite a stressy record
but now you’re coming here to celebrate it
TB: That’s a really incredible way of looking at it
It was suggested that both bands play an album in its entirety
and it was also mentioned that Some Friendly and Between 10th and 11th were big albums for us in America
No one’s heard tracks from Between 10th and 11th for so long
We really only play “Weirdo” and occasionally “Can’t Even Be Bothered.” Very
we’ll play “Tremelo Song.” We’ve not played the album in its entirety since it came out
even though we didn’t know that it was
It fits into the shoegazing scene that we weren’t involved in
It’s also an electronic record that is not electronic anymore because it’s all played organically
IE: “Weirdo” is adopted among Charlatans fans as an outsider anthem
Was that part of your intention for the song
I think the whole album is kind of self-critical
I found it really hard to write even one line in a song
It’s the only time it’s ever really been like that
I think because the success of the first album was so huge
“a rod for our back?” We made it really difficult for ourselves
He would work like he was making a really good dinner
He’d work very slowly but add a little bit here or there and take his time and work really carefully to put it together
I just went on tons of walks and tried to get more than one line per song (laughs)
The lyric for “(No One) Not Even the Rain” is memorable
drawing from the beautiful poem “somewhere i have never travelled
I read that you were also diving into Bob Dylan then
Does that connect to Between 10th and 11th
TB: I’m not sure about Dylan at that time
There was a track called “Happened to Die” on the Over Rising EP
we came back with “Can’t Get Out of Bed” (on 1994’s Up to Our Hips)
IE: The last time you were here for a new Charlatans record was in 2018 supporting Different Days
It’s a bit cold in the studio at the moment
We had plans last year and just couldn’t get it together
That’s just people’s lives at the moment
IE: It hasn’t been too cold in the studio for you
with three solo albums since Different Days
including last year’s double album Typical Music
but I don’t like to brag about it (laughs)
IE: I suppose if I want to hear you play “Here Comes the Weekend” or “Curiosity,” I’ll have to come your way
TB: I could do an acoustic version of “Here Comes the Weekend” very easily anywhere on any street corner of America
For “Curiosity,” I might need a capo
IE: I’ll look for you outside the Vic
I wondered whether anything from Typical Music might have suited the Charlatans
that I kind of avoided trying to sound anything like the Charlatans in most of my solo albums – up to this point
I just wanna just write a record that encompasses everything about me.” So
I think “Here Comes the Weekend” could have been
“View from Above” could have been
“Time That We Call Time” even could have been
It would’ve gone down a different route
It’s very strange with the Charlatans
What that means is that if someone walks into a room with a fully formed song
it’s not considered to be something to jump up and down about
Everyone has to be involved in the same room at the same time
with everyone’s lives and families and all that kind of stuff now … Tony lives in Ireland
IE: That’s a tough commute for band practice
We might need to sound-check a little bit longer than normal at the first show
IE: Was any song from Between 10th and 11th particularly tricky to dust off
“Chewing Gum Weekend” is tricky
and “The End of Everything” is tricky
TB: I really love playing “Chewing Gum Weekend.” When we first relearned how to play it
“What the fuck were we thinking?” It’s been quite a one to get right
Now it sounds natural because we’re playing it
You’ll be pleased to know that “Page One” sounds fantastic
We’ve actually changed the set around
so after “Not Even the Rain,” we’re gonna play “The End of Everything” because it’s such a racket
We’re doing all the songs but in a slightly different order
IE: You found ways to stay busy when the world closed up shop in 2020
Were you surprised by the way Tim’s Twitter Listening Party took off as a communal album-listening experience
Did that grow your audience or deepen relationships in ways that surprised you
My connection with other artists grew – my phone book got bigger
I think it took off because people really appreciated it during a very dark time
I’ll always remember COVID as dark nights
It lasted so long that not every night was dark
And there were thousands of people all over the world listening to one record together
IE: I’m glad that the Listening Party continues
Your two Listening Party books from the series show another way to engage
If it’s not with the same people that the last two books have been out on
then we should find a new person to put it out
There’s gonna be a radio show and a podcast
as well as being on Twitter as many nights as we can without it being ridiculous
there was a Saturday where there were like 10 in one day
And everyone was so brilliant with their time
and then it became everybody from Iron Maiden to Paul McCartney to Yoko (Ono) and Sean (Lennon) doing the John Lennon records
IE: It was fun seeing your own fans go all in for Iron Maiden’s Powerslave during that Listening Party
even if some of the tweets during “Two Minutes to Midnight” were sobering
The Smiths’ The Queen is Dead with Mike Joyce and Steven Street involved
and David Bowie’s Reality with Nicholas Pegg and Mike Garson were other highlights for me
Robbie Robertson’s done a couple; he’s been brilliant
IE: We spoke once before in 2015 when you were finishing Tim Book Two: Vinyl Adventures from Istanbul to San Francisco
One idea behind the book is connecting memories of traveling to a physical object like a record
Do you have favorite record shops you like to return to around Chicago
I bought John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme
I’ve always bought records in America and always had to buy an extra suitcase to get home (laughs)
IE: Can you tell me about the Charlatans’ connection to Chicago house music
TB: It would be buying Chicago house records that were played at the Haçienda (nightclub in Manchester
It would’ve been anywhere between ’87 and ’89
I don’t in any way think that I’m an expert
but it reminded me of the Northern Soul scene
which is kind of like lots of these fantastic records that you dance to
I had lots of records that said something probably like (deepens voice) “Pump up the …” whatever
I actually can’t remember anyone right now
but that’s okay ’cause it was so long ago
That was the connection with Chicago house
it was the most glorious thing when we played Chicago Metro because that felt like home to us
Going there was like going to Graceland or something
My first show when moving back here was seeing Guided by Voices there
There’s a great recording of us; I think it’s a semi-bootleg or whatever
It’s the Charlatans at Metro in ’91
IE: My vinyl copy of Between 10th and 11th includes that recording
IE: Another thing you mentioned when we spoke in 2015 what that your son was two and a half
You told me he had been brought along as an infant producer while the Charlatans recorded Modern Nature
You knew when you had a good song based on his primal reaction
IE: Maybe he’s ready to produce another Charlatans album
We find music through his games and then on Shazam and YouTube
maybe I’ll start teaching him about N.W.A
IE: If he starts singing “Straight Outta Compton,” you might have to send him to school with an “explicit content” sticker
It’s part of the boundaries [to push]
IE: I imagine we’ll get to hear perennials like “North Country Boy,” but I’ll slip a note under the door for “Oh
Vanity” or “Plastic Machinery.” Do you have a thing or two planned from Different Days
TB: “Plastic Machinery” is always a good one
“Different Days” is very nice too
“Solutions” and “Hey Sunrise” were fantastic
and “North Country Boy” is probably very high on the list
who advocated for the benefits of transcendental meditation
I believe that you have also found TM to be healthy for you
Was it something you found to be beneficial right away
Is it hard to keep it in your routine when you’re traveling
“Did it affect you straight away?” I think you have to grow into it
but I was hoping it was gonna happen straight away
I had to calm down a little bit to properly integrate the technique
although everything changed after the first one I did
The brightness of the colors of life seemed to change
Maybe longer because I gave up alcohol and drugs in 2006
and I kind of stopped hanging out with anyone who was involved in that kind of lifestyle
IE: You must have been aware of it for a long time
I would have heard about it because of the Beach Boys and the Beatles
but it took a lifestyle change to become interested
I think I’d heard that he was a meditator
but I was sitting in a party in my own flat
Lots of my friends were drinking and taking drugs and playing records
They were playing like five seconds of each song and then changing the song
I wanted to maintain these friendships even though I’d given up drinking
and my friend Amy came over to me and said (dryly)
you look like you’re having a great time.” And I said
“Have you ever thought about meditating?”
“Have you ever heard of Maharishi?” And I said
The Beatles.” [We talked about] David Lynch
who had felt the benefits of it since being a teenager
It seemed to make sense with the films that he made
“I’ve been doing it since I was four years old.” And she was just one of my friends who was
I had this image that people who meditated were
“transcendental” and did the yogic flying (laughs)
all those Beatles videos seemed to make sense and what they were searching for
IE: It’s interesting trying to connect the dots to sources of the Charlatans sound because they’re broad but so well integrated
You drew from things I didn’t have access to when I first heard the band
I had heard some British music bubbling up in the late ’80s but knew nothing about house music
I enjoyed recognizing bits of the Rolling Stones in your sound
but the biggest rock band I knew that played dance music was INXS
Kula Shaker seemed like they were on your wavelength
but that was years after you’d started
TB: Connections with other bands – there’s Inspiral Carpets
There are bands like Soup Dragons and Primal Scream
who were all kind of shifting towards a dance element
That basically came from going to the Haçienda
There’s this guy called Dave Haslam who would play Indie rock and dance music and Carly Simon
I guess the Rolling Stones did stuff like that on Emotional Rescue
It’s not something that had never been done before
but it was a new sound for a new time or a new version of that sound
Factory Records were the absolute trailblazers
They were all kids from Manchester who borrowed New Order’s equipment and made dance records that were big in America
IE: I knew the first two Inspiral Carpets albums around the time I first heard the Charlatans
They were kind of bringing Garage more to the forefront
“I Wanna Be Your Dog.” It’s so easy
the Charlatans might share some regional roots with the Spencer Davis Group – another band with a prominent mix of guitar and organ
Deep Purple would be in the mix a few years later
Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Lovin’,” and Deep Purple
IE: It’s fun to explore those sources
especially when the resulting sounds are so different
TB: Me and Martin used to go and watch this band called the Prisoners
They were a sixties revivalist band from Medway in Kent
They used to do a cover version of “Hush,” and they had a Hammond organ
There’s loads of stuff floating about in our sound
I have no desire to do anything that doesn’t just come from the heart
But the way that you learn how to write songs is by being inspired by other people
IE: The Hammond organ was a real commitment for a young band in the clubs
You had to have roadies or risk throwing your back out before the gig
right up until the recording of our first album
where we got an advance and bought one that was a solid piece of wood with solid legs and stuff like that
is on the front cover of our single “Crashin’ In,” actually

L.A.'s PRJCTS and the high desert's own Gene Evaro Jr
sold millions of albums and pioneered a music style (G-Funk) that permeated hip-hop for a decade (the '90s)
But his most impressive feat was making Michael McDonald cool again
"Regulate" — the rapper's 1994 duet with the late Nate Dogg — peaked at No
2 on the charts thanks to heavy use of a four-bar sample of McDonald's 1982 solo hit
"I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)." A remix combining both songs — "I Keep Forgettin' to Regulate" — became a mainstay on urban radio
The two artists got together this past April to mark the song's 20th anniversary and talk about their unlikely "collaboration."
"Rap is like any other genre: There are the people who are very creative with it and do remarkable things..
and then there's that whole quadrant that sounds alike," McDonald told Billboard
"There's great stuff that's taken the genre to a new level over the years
and 'Regulate' was one of those tracks that was kind of a landmark."

The Vatican has now announced the exact dates of the papal visit
The pontiff will be in Belgium from 26 to 29 September
It’s the first papal visit since 1995 when Pope John Paul II beatified Father Damian
The pope will first visit the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on 26 September and later the same day he will travel on to Belgium
The Catholic University of Leuven is celebrating the 600th anniversary of its founding in 2025
Flemish prime minister Jan Jambon (nationalist/N-VA)
the rectors of the Flemish University of Leuven
and the Francophone Catholic University of Louvain
invited the faith leader with the support of Belgian bishops
repeated the invitation during an audience with the pope in September
"I think first and foremost his heart has spoken," the Belgian primate
A precise programme for the pope's visit will be announced later
The Roman Catholic Church in Belgium is launching the dedicated website pausbezoek.be on which all the details will be published
A pope was last in Belgium in 1995 when Pope John Paul II performed the beatification of Father Damien
but the pope had to cancel that appointment because he had slipped in his bathtub and ended up in hospital

where they had prepared the pope's visit to perfection
name your songs that show expressivity and innovation by sound alteration
the neck of her electric guitar pointing to the ceiling
is an ensemble of string players and a choir
building to the end of line at the end of which her larynx climbs to full throttle
It has an expressiveness that sends shivers up spines
her hand strokes the strings in a circular movement as if skimming across a harp
and a rich twang vibrates with a warmth of resonant sustain
she is not only a surprisingly powerful singer and very gifted guitarist – rarely do the two come together – but also combines effects in voice and playing that capture particular expressivity in vibrato and tremelo
Adopting a dramatic persona and flamenco-style look (behind which is a tiny
meek speaking voice) and using a jangly-sounding Vox AC30 amp
Calvi exemplifies qualities variously found in many artists and songs across numerous genres
all of which fall under this topic – oscillation in its many glorious forms
So this week it is all about sounds that move
medium wobbles and or deep bass shudders – from vocal delivery or instruments from rumbling
organ sounds to guitar techniques or effects
But the important thing is that the oscillation must work well and feature prominently in that song
View image in fullscreenWarm and jangly … the body of a.Gretsch guitar with Bigsby tremelo arm
Photograph: Martin Godwin/GuardianLet’s look at the detail
Vibrato is defined as subtle variations of pitch (to slightly higher or lower frequency notes)
or can also be the speed of that variation
which strictly speaking is subtle changes of volume
Tremelo arms on guitars from the old Kauffman Vibrola on models such as a 1930s Rickenbacher
so they are actually creating a from of vibrato
The key element is that songs must modulate their notes or chords with effectiveness
View image in fullscreenThe Black Keys (Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach) know how to bend it
Photograph: PictureGroup/REXA tremolo or tremolando can also be the rapid repetition of the same note
On other instruments this can sound like modulation and is easily recreated on synthesisers and software
is the rapid alternation between two very close notes
because of the modulatory effect in a song or other musical piece
but as they mature they naturally discover and achieve even more expression by wobbling their finger when pressing down on strings
A music teacher at school once told me how he noticed children naturally adopting the wobble finger technique on violins and cellos and upright basses
half way through the fourth year of lessons
was a player whose finger vibrato was incredibly moving
View image in fullscreenJacqueline du Pré
Her notes were moving in all sorts of ways
Photograph: Reg Wilson/RexOrgans and synthesisers perhaps present the best examples of manufactured oscillation
The Hammond and Moog are the most famous examples
built to modulate pitch to create that rich
A rich vein of organ music traversed into pop in the 60s and 70s
a similar effect is created by creating mechanical changes in airflow
and players of wind instruments can achieve a similar result by controlling it with their diaphragm
this is also done by subtle movements with the lips or moving the instrument with the hand
Maria Carey or Whitney Houston put on a forced vibrato
but is this brilliantly skilful or over-stylised
Now is the time to name examples and discuss in comments
View image in fullscreenBeyoncé - brilliant vibrato or over the top
Photograph: Phil McCarten/RexVocal vibrato is especially interesting
Some singers are naturally stylish this way
their sound a bit like the delivery of a cricketer who naturally finds swing or spin
or a footballer who bends a free kick or an actor or comedian whose voice somehow delivers a line that sparkles and sings
But my own equivalent is of a tendency to sound gently mocking or ironic even when speaking with entire sincerity
There seems to be something in my tone of voice that can bring a lot of fun for those who get it
or alternatively causes misunderstanding and trouble
let’s now watch the effect that sine waves can have on flowing water
Sine waves and water.Does that alter and move you
your song choices also reflect rapid changes in emotions or other forms of oscillation
flitting and flickering in a bigger sense may also be worth a shout
Overall this is a big subject that should travel across many in genres and cultures
but it’s a two-week Christmas special with extra time to build a musical mountain and a vast
Therefore dig deep in your metaphorical Christmas sacks and present an oscillating array of riches to the returning yuletide guest guru
in comments and optionally in the Spotify playlist by lunchtime last orders (2pm) Monday 29 December for his special selection published on Thursday 1 January 2015
thank you all once again for another outstanding 12 months of wit
Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year

There are now hundreds of dedicated music apps available for the iPhone and iPad
but these digital devices are not musical instruments in the traditional sense
designer Massimo Battaglia set about bringing the electric guitar and the multi-touch interface even closer
His Hyper Touch Guitar concept is the result
It features a capacitive touchscreen neck with 24 fret positions
and either a small touchscreen pick zone or a version where the multi-touch interface continues down into the body from the neck
The guitar will also feature wireless technology that will communicate with equipment such as amplifiers and computer systems
and allow the player full freedom of movement
The Hyper Touch Guitar has the look of a double-edged battle axe and would no doubt find fit quite nicely with the likes of WASP or KISS. Battaglia has actually designed two versions of the HTG – a basic model with a small touchscreen and a capacitive fingerboard
and an EVO model that's completely multi-touch and has a carbon fiber body
The designer told Gizmag that the touchscreen interface on the EVO could be used to "change any guitar parameter: tuning
The 24 frets shown in the renders have a very similar appearance to those on the neck of the Kitara
flat surface are kind of like a fretless version of the production digital guitar from Misa Digital
The pick zone would be raised above the body and there would also be a tremelo arm – although whether this has been included for purely aesthetic purposes or would actually serve to alter the sound in some way is not clear
The body of the instrument would contain volume and power switches
a standard guitar jack and possibly MIDI or USB interfaces
but it would also have wireless technology built in
This would allow the player to communicate with equipment such as amplifiers
studio boards or computer systems without any bothersome cables limiting freedom of movement
Power for the instrument would be provided by some sort of high-capacity battery technology to allow for many hours of use
Although moving the guitar into the digital age does seem to be a natural evolutionary advancement
Battaglia says that he didn't design the Hyper Touch Guitar to replace the traditional favorite
then the typewriter and then the computer..
but the pencil is still there," he explained
"This musical instrument is completely new
Even though the Hyper Touch Guitar is a concept for future development
it was designed with current technologies in mind
Battaglia told us that he has no doubt that it could be put into production with only some minor modifications
but added "I do not have the financial resources to create a prototype with a technology so sophisticated."
Even though I've been playing electric guitar for more years than I care to admit
I am quite excited by this brave new digital world that's opening up before us – confirmation (if any were needed) that guitar innovation continues to thrive

Bo Diddley, the pioneering guitarist who inspired The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, has died aged 79.
Last night Sir Mick Jagger, whose band covered Diddley's songs Mona and Crackin' Up, paid tribute to the Mississippi-born musician as an 'enormous force in music'.
Diddley died of heart failure yesterday morning at his home in Archer, Florida.
Sir Mick said: 'He was a wonderful, original musician who was an enormous force in music and was a big influence on the Rolling Stones.
Guitar legend: Bo Diddley has died aged 79
'He was very generous to us in our early years and we learned a lot from him. We will never see his like again.'
Diddley had a heart attack in August while on tour, three months after suffering a stroke which affected his ability to speak.
He had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.
Diddley, born Ellas Bates, was renowned for his home-made square guitar, dark glasses and black hat.
His first single, 1955's Bo Diddley, introduced record buyers to his signature rhythm. The B-side, I'm a Man, also became a rock standard.
Many other artists, including The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello, were inspired by Diddley's distinctive rhythm and guitar work.
His contribution to music was rewarded in 1999 with a lifetime achievement prize at the Grammy Awards.
Diddley was also an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame,
It is thought the name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago.
But some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow.
Diddley's major songs included Say Man, You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover, Shave and a Haircut, Uncle John, Who Do You Love? and The Mule.
His influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Buddy Holly borrowed his classic rhythm for the song Not Fade Away.
The Rolling Stones' bluesy remake of Holly's song gave them their first chart single in the U.S. in 1964.
The following year, The Yardbirds had a top 20 hit in the U.S. with their version of I'm a Man.
Diddley was also one of the pioneers of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremelo effects.
In a 1999 interview he said: 'I came out of school and made something out of myself. I am known all over the globe, all over the world.
'There are guys who have done a lot of things that don't have the same impact that I had.'

What time is World Snooker Championship final today?
Usually limited to the confines of a bedroom, playing the air guitar means flailing arms and energetic miming but when it comes to the world championships the most important trait is ‘no shame’.
That was what helped Justin Howard aka ‘Nordic Thunder’ out-mime ‘Airistotle’ and win the title of Air Guitar World Champion at the 17th annual competition in Oulu, Finland.
From all over the world they came, dressed to impress in leather straps, bright pants and fake blood, for their 60 second solo performance, imaginary guitar in hand.
Nordic Thunder from Chicago won over 18 finalists from countries including Japan, Britain, Russia and Czech Republic.
He said before his winning performance: ‘My strength is that I have absolutely no shame.
‘I’m not concerned by looking like a fool. I embrace that and I plan to look like that today.’
Claiming his title he said: 'I feel amazing, I feel loved, I feel like crying and laughing and hugging.'
The competition aims to promote world peace.
On the championship website it says: ‘According to Air Guitar ideology, wars will end, climate change stops and all bad things disappear if all the people in the world play the air guitar.’
Following air guitar tradition, after the champion was announced all competitors took to the stage once more to encourage the whole world to play air guitar to Neil Young’s ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’.
He narrowly beat Matt ‘Airistotle’ Burns from New York and Dutchman Theun de Jong who came in second and third.
Former world champion Aline 'The Devil's Niece' Westphal from Germany came in eighth.
She said of her solo: 'The performance this year is very different from the performance last year, it's more girlie style, it's wild, it's rock n roll style and it's not so dramatic as last year and yeah, a little bit more crazy, I think.'
Torvinen said: 'I for myself, I like improvisations. That is the main thing for me, but of course you have to look at the whole performance and I think my heart decides who is the best one.
'It's that simple and difficult at the same time.'

As Melbourne’s house prices start to tick back up
buyers (particularly first-home buyers) couldn’t be blamed for feeling more than a little disheartened
The amenity-packed inner suburbs are certainly too expensive
and the only affordable places are on the city’s fringe where there are barely any trains
The recent Domain Liveable Melbourne study by Deloitte Access Economics and Tract Consultants pinpointed Melbourne’s most liveable suburbs by assessing factors including cafes
A total of 307 suburbs were included and were ranked according to weighted scores for each factor
most of the top-ranking suburbs were in the inner ring where property comes with a hefty price tag
But 21 suburbs that made it into the top half of the rankings also had median house prices lower than Melbourne’s overall median of $855,428
The least expensive liveable suburb was Dandenong
It ranked number 143 overall but did better for its walkability (rank 40)
its access to retail (rank 60) and the train (rank 75)
It got its highest ranking of 12 for access to secondary education
Stockdale & Leggo Dandenong agent Jerome Mulholland said Dandenong’s establishment as a satellite city meant it was more liveable than other far-flung suburbs
Dandenong Hospital and shops and cafes on Lonsdale and Foster Streets
gave the suburb all the makings of a bustling activity hub
“A couple of years ago there was a stigma to Dandenong – now that stigma is gone,” Mr Mulholland said
He said young families and new Australians were the ones typically buying into the area
as well as some investors looking to rent out units and townhouses
“People are finding it’s still affordable because of the $600,000 benchmark for three-bedroom townhouses,” Mr Mulholland said
Of the 20 most affordable suburbs in the top half of the liveable rankings
Footscray ranked the highest by a considerable margin
The former industrial suburb turned hipster hub came in at number 6 overall and ranked 26th for walkability
28th for both culture and retail and 38th for access to the train
The median house price in Footscray is $784,750, and Joshua Lowman from McGrath Yarraville said its comparatively low house prices
along with the influx of new restaurants and bars were bringing young professionals and families to the suburb
“The amenities are there for the first home buyers – they don’t have to travel into the city if they don’t want to
Other suburbs making the affordable and liveable cut included Frankston in the south
The far east and north-east had an impressive number of suburbs in the list including Greensborough
Real Estate Institute of Victoria vice-president Adam Docking said these suburbs were unlikely to stay affordable for long
people are now looking at them because they’ve got good infrastructure
more spacious homes and more people want to get away from the city,” Mr Docking said
had the third-lowest median house price of $628,000 and ranked 91st for liveability
It scored well for its access to the train and cafes but really shone in the areas of tree cover and topographic variation
for which it ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively
Study co-author Daniel Terrill from Deloitte Access Economics said topographic variation often meant a more picturesque outlook
“Unless we are talking about land that is too steep to develop
an undulating landscape is more interesting than a flat one,” Dr Terrill said
Fletchers Yarra Ranges agent David McKay said Belgrave had started to attract artists and musicians from places including Brunswick, as there were four live music venues in the suburb.
“They’re mostly first-home buyers – young couples wanting to start families,” he said. “There are bigger blocks, lots of trees, more privacy – people are into bird-watching, photography and yoga. I think it attracts a lot of people who want the fresh air.”
For those looking to buy a unit under Melbourne’s median unit price, suburbs in the inner-north and south opened up including Brunswick, Carlton, Thornbury, Windsor, St Kilda and Cheltenham.
Mr Docking said units were always going to provide buyers with a more affordable option, and for those willing to live a little smaller, suburbs with very strong amenities would open up.
“Younger purchasers are not looking at a unit as a downgrade. They’re utilising more of their surrounds, and their home is just a place to sleep,” he said.
