Boston Acoustic Dsi455

In this history of aural culture in early-twentieth-century America, Emily Thompson charts dramatic transformations in what people heard and how they listened. What they heard was a new kind of sound that was the product of modern technology. They listened as newly critical consumers of aural commodities. By examining the technologies that produced this sound, as well as the culture that enthusiastically consumed it, Thompson recovers a lost dimension of the Machine Age and deepens our understanding of the experience of change that characterized the era.Reverberation equations, sound meters, microphones, and acoustical tiles were deployed in places as varied as Boston's Symphony Hall, New York's office skyscrapers, and the soundstages of Hollywood. The control provided by these technologies, however, was applied in ways that denied the particularity of place, and the diverse spaces of modern America began to sound alike as a universal new sound predominated. Although this sound--clear, direct, efficient, and nonreverberant---had little to say about the physical spaces in which it was produced, it speaks volumes about the culture that created it. By listening to it, Thompson constructs a compelling new account of the experience of modernity in America.

Peace of Mind (1976 song) - "Peace of Mind", is a popular song by arena rock band Boston, released in 1976 on the eponymous Boston album. With its instantly recognizable "acoustic guitar" intro, and its driving guitar riffs, this song has been a Boston classic for years.

Vertical Horizon - The acoustic rock band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation in 1991 the duo relocated to Boston and, in 1992, self-released their debut album There and Back Again. There and Back Again was recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days, and Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on the album, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar.

Boys Suck - Boys Suck was a Boston-based band that was formed somewhere around 2000 by members of the New York goth-rock outfit Binary Test Record. Originally known for being a sort of smug twee act with a drum machine, keyboard, bass, and acoustic guitar, the band had some lineup changes, which eventually led to it being a primarily solo venture by The Sleepwalker.

Mocean 8 - Mocean 8 is a Boston, Massachusetts, USA based acoustic rock band consisting of Dan McQueen (guitarist/singer), Jim Corcoran (percussion), Mike Hartman (Bass), and Justin Corcoran (drums/guitar). Since 2002 Mocean 8 has been working together to form a groove rock band that is as close as family (which they are).
