Voices from the World of Music

2013-06-09T11:12:00.000-07:00

Those who are in the music industry invest a great deal of their time in their career. Music is their business. To be great performers, artists have to be totally dedicated to their music profession. Composers, Singers, Songwriters, and Performers contribute their talents to the entertainment industry, be it in Churches where I grew up performing or elsewhere, local and abroad.

Music is a language that connects artists. It allows them to perform together and put on great performances, when they have not practiced together, because separated they work on their artistic skills on a persistent basic, such as my guitarist and I did. We never practiced together, but apart we worked very hard on our skills. When show time came, my voice connected with his music, and we became one in the world of music, and gave our audiences some great performances. I am a big fan of guitar music!

These are some of the great ones who have contributed to our educational studies of music. And provided us with entertainment in the Music Industry: Both Composers and Performing Artists have entertained us with their musical skills.

My World of Music

2013-04-06T11:09:00.000-07:00

Ellen J. Barrier
Singer/Songwriter

At about the age of 3, I used any object I could find to make music. My parents bought my first piano at the age of 14 and provided me with music lessons. I grew up singing and performing in churches and in school activities.

My performances include singing, acting in plays and dancing.

I enjoy singing, writing songs and listening to various genres of music such as inspiration, romance, classic, jazz, pop, rap, rock and other.

My influence for my music career are family members who like listening to radio and singing in church and family performances during family gathering. I started writing poems, and songs along with performing in musicals in churches and school during my preteen years. I have continued to perform throughout the years as an adult, live and recorded.

Two of my favorite musicians are Sam Cooke and Stevie Wonder. I grew up listening to their music and have many of their Cd’s in my possession. Sam Cooke had an amazing voice that was pleasant to listen to, and sang spiritual and other genres. Stevie Wonder is an inspiring artist with many talents. Both of these artists are impressive and inspiring.

Wii U

2012-08-12T20:59:00.000-07:00

Discover a wealth of exciting new ways to enjoy home entertainment with Wii U, Nintendo's next home console. With a revolutionary new touch screen controller, precision motion controls, and full HD graphics, a whole new world of play styles and gaming possibilities is on the horizon. The time is coming to truly expand your idea about what a game console is - and can be. The system launches in 2012 and includes the new Wii U console and amazing new controller.

A New Wii Console Experience

According to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, "Wii U redefines the structure of home entertainment by fundamentally changing how the TV, the game console and the Internet function and interact together," he continues, "The experience enabled by Wii U and its new controller takes players deeper into their games, while reaching out wider than ever before to be inviting to all kinds of gamers."

Wii U combines motion-sensing gameplay with the ability to support full HD graphics. Each Wii U console will be paired with a new groundbreaking controller, with its 6.2-inch wide screen. Previously, video games played on a home consoles have been confined to the TV and offered identical viewpoints to each player in a multiplayer environment. The Wii U controller enhances that experience with different viewpoints available in-game and in differing games/game situations. Also, watching TV and playing console games have been completely separate experiences. The new controller removes these boundaries, creating a more dynamic and fluid gaming and entertainment experience. Examples of this new functionality include:

Within Single Player Games:

While in-game the new controller can display information on its screen that does not appear on the TV
The information and viewpoint can also change in the new controller based on the orientation of its gyroscope

Within Multiplayer Games:

The player using the new controller can have a different experience than those looking at the TV creating a wider variety of competitive and cooperative opportunities

The New Controller

In addition to its 6.2-inch screen, the new controller also features an accelerometer and a gyroscope, a rumble feature, an inward-facing camera, a microphone and speakers. Adding these features to the Classic Controller button scheme -- two analog Circle Pads, +Control Pad, A/B/X/Y buttons, L/R buttons and ZL/ZR buttons -- will enable a breadth of gameplay experiences while appealing to both casual and dedicated video game players. The Wii U system can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers and is backward compatible to all Wii games and all Wii accessories. The Wii console has sold more than 86 million units globally and greatly expanded the overall audience for video games. Wii U aims to expand that audience even further.

The Wii U Release Software Lineup

Wii U will feature a wide variety of exciting first and third party games and software at the time of system launch. Just a few of those players can expect include:

New Super Mario Bros. Mii
Darksiders II
DiRT
Aliens Colonial Marines
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online
Metro Last Light
Tekken
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (working title)
