Who wrote the music first?

Apparently, all primitive people had some kind of music. But the sounds they produced were very different from modern music. Primitive music was often a combination of long and loud exclamations, sighs, groans and wails. The singing was accompanied by dancing, clapping and the sound of drums. Folk music has existed for centuries and passed from generation to generation by ear, without recording. Music has also been composed for many centuries.

In all ancient cultures: the Chinese, Hindus, Egyptians, Assyrians and Jews - there was music. Most of it was not like ours. The Greeks made complex music by putting together notes, which is reminiscent of modern scales. For writing, they used the letters of the alphabet, written above the syllables of words. After the Greeks and Romans, who adopted their music from the Greeks, the Christian church played a big role in the development of music.

Saint Ambrose and Saint Gregory started the style of music known as simple singing. It was singing in unison. The notes followed one after another, which completely coincided with the method developed by the ancient Greeks. The churchmen also learned how to record music. The modern way of recording music traces its origins to this system.

In 1600, Jacopo Peri wrote the first opera, which was called "Eurydice". Subsequently, composers such as Monteverdi began to write not only operas, but also instrumental music, such as violin music. Music began to be written for court dances, carnivals and theatrical performances. And after a while, great composers appeared, whose music we still enjoy: Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Judge in a suitcase 25.08.2000

In one of the science fiction works, an electronic judge appeared - a huge computer that contained in its memory a complete set of laws and precedents and formed its sentence based on mathematical logic. Now this fantasy has been realized in Brazil.

Brazilian traffic police patrols are now equipped with an electronic judge - a laptop computer with an artificial intelligence program. True, this judge is competent only in one, rather narrow area - he is able to sort out the conflict between the drivers of colliding cars.

The idea does not claim to fully automate the verdict, it only helps to somewhat relieve the country's judicial system of many simple cases that, according to the law, need to be tried. Data measured by a policeman on the road, the results of a survey of participants in the incident and their sobriety test are entered into the laptop.

The computer can issue fines, bill for damages, and even recommend jail terms. At the same time, he not only issues his decision, but also prints out the course of his reasoning with references to facts and laws. Most drivers are happy that the computer saves them the trouble of going to court.
