The document describes a music video for an a cappella group. It uses visual effects of vinyl records, sound waves, and colorful 3D bars that move and change in synchronization with the music. The bars emerge from screens during verses and choruses, representing the emotions and story told in the song as it builds toward a triumphant final chorus.
For my Music 2252 class, we were tasked with analyzing a random, unknown song, looking into the structural components of modern music and creating a visual interpretation of the music. This was what I came up with, as well as my corresponding analysis.

Classic Combo Plate
Directions:
Before there were all the cart options, I remember going to the cafes near campus that offered combo menus. For a reasonable price, the menu usually had two lists of items and you would choose one from column A and one from column B for a very satisfying lunch.
For our musical version of the combo plate, you are asked to select one composer from column A (just the big three) and one composer from column B (a very long Wikipedia page with composers listed by birth year)
Both composers must share the same, or nearly the same, birth year
. The latitude for this is no more than + or - 10 years. We want to place both of them solidly within the Classic era and also within roughly the same generation.
Find one movement of a piece of music by each. that is a total of two tracks for this assignment. Include a link to that specific movement of each piece so that readers of your post can quickly click it to listen. You may use Naxos (a bit easier to pinpoint the exact movement in a longer piece) or YouTube but you are responsible for providing the accurate url. Please be careful in YouTube that your music link takes your reader to exactly the movement you write about.
For each of these two tracks provides clearly the full title of each piece and the exact movement title or number if these are from multi-movement works.
Provide background information on both of the movements of music you have selected and some bio information on the lesser known composer from "column B". Include musical observations
based on your own listening
as you compare the two tracks. You may find it easier to make a targeted comparison if you select works of a similar genre (for instance, the first movement of a piano sonata by each composer, or the slow movement of a symphony by each, or the minuet movement of a string quartet, or a soprano aria from an opera by each......)
Interesting "fun facts" might include: did the two ever meet? Where did they live, did they study with the same teacher? Were they both performers as well as composers? Did each have a patron?
Music Selection parameters
Column A Classic era composers are limited to the big three we have covered already this term:
Franz Joseph Haydn b. 1732
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart b. 1756
Ludwig van Beethoven b. 1770
Choose just one movement of one piece by one of these "big three" composers.
Column B classic era composers are listed at the page linked below. Scroll to find the birth years you need for a match.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
GraphRAG is All You need? LLM & Knowledge GraphGuy Korland
Guy Korland, CEO and Co-founder of FalkorDB, will review two articles on the integration of language models with knowledge graphs.
1. Unifying Large Language Models and Knowledge Graphs: A Roadmap.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
4. The record is placed on a 3D turntable. The needle lowers, and the record begins to
spin as if it’s about to start playing music.
5. As it begins spinning, the vinyl record expands rapidly - the screens are engulfed in
black as the a capella group begins singing.
6. Blue sound waves pulse to the beat of the a capella group singing the intro.
7. Three large 3D bars seemingly rise up from the ground at the end of the intro,
transitioning into the visuals for the first verse.
8. We fly through a long tunnel of glowing 3D bars move and change colors to the beat
of the music.
9. At the end of the verse, on the lyric, “let in the light,” we see a bright white light slowly
expand and illuminate all the screens in the background.
10. From this “ball of light,” we see large circles (stylized in a bokeh effect) change colors
in rhythm to the backing vocals in the pre-chorus.
11. 3D bars covering the entire screen move to the beat of the chorus. Visually, it appears
as if these bars are coming out of the screens towards the audience.
12. After the energetic chorus, it quickly fades to black as everyone except the person
beatboxing stops singing. Blue audio waves pulse in time with this beatbox interlude.
13. On the lyric, “now I see the sun is rising,” a huge yellow circle expands to brighten up the
entire background as the post-chorus transitions to the more upbeat second verse.
14. Colorful 3D bars rise up from the ground in time with the lyric “rising up” sung by the
backing vocals. These bars move and change (bright) colors throughout the second verse.
15. During the second pre-chorus, we see more stylized bokeh circles, except they “pop”
like bubbles with the backing vocals being sung over the course of the pre-chorus.
16. We see the same colorful 3D bars pulsating from the screens in time with the music
during the second chorus.
17. Everything on screen loses color and turns dark at the start of the bridge. Large grey
bars slowly emerge and tower over the scene as the somber bridge is sung.
18. As the lyrics and overall mood of the bridge becomes more joyful, we see bright
colorful bars slowly emerge and illuminate the background with light.
19. We seemingly “rise above” the ominous bars in the background (symbolizing the challenges
being overcomed in the bridge) right as the key changes before the final chorus.
20. We’re looking down on tons of colorful 3D bars joyfully pulsating in time with the final
triumphant chorus.
21. The 3D bars slowly fade out and the original scene with the record player and vinyl
records emerges as the a capella group finishes singing.
22. We see the vinyl record/album cover as the music stops.
23. The a capella group’s logo emerges from the album cover, reminding the audience
who this a capella group is.
