All About Beat Box (History & Development)

All About Beat Box (History & Development) - Beatbox is often documented, the general who we know, is rooted in early modern hip-hop, in  roads like Chicago, the Bronx, and LA, and this is generally true. However, the origin of vocal percussion, beatboxing appears - has been part of the music and the urban scene for much longer than people think. As part of "the new school of beatboxing" and hip-hop, from around 1998 until now, very important "New School" is to know its history, and how these sub-cultures may exist. Through a very difficult research, I will try to explain to the reader with a brief "the true history of beatboxing".

First we will explore time, more than seven decades back, in the era of swing, jazz and "barbershop music" (music a capella vocal group). It has been documented that jazz musicians are the first group of musicians who used their voices, and of course, the whole vocal chords to imitate instruments. When bebop was born in the 30's, as a reaction to large group of swing and a lack of improvisation, has become a norm to listen to jazz and blues singers wail, moan or grunt noises unidentifiable less commonly heard by the human ear as the words. "Scatting" is used as an improvised harmonic and vocal jazz singers for solos or instrumentals. This is the first mainstream look at what would become vocal percussion, and after that beatboxing. The singers will sing the words artificial like "doot", "wamp", "bapadoo", and so on, effectively imitating the sound most common instruments in this music, saxophones and trumpets. However, the roots of the imitation sound of instruments by the human voice began several years at the earliest.

Beginning ..
Turning to the past, we find in the South of France between 1200 and 1300, "The Troubadours" (the musician-poet). These were traveling regions of France who would roam the streets singing alone or accompanied by a "lute" a kind of lute instrument, the precursor to the modern acoustic guitar. Their music seeks to be different and show lirik theme reply politely or religious. In late 1400 and 1500s, groups would sing together, like barbershop, harmonizing to one vote. To expand their music, who they traded a short tune sharp, responsive in the melody, making it sound like a whole band playing with him. In fact, People this is a sign of French Gypsies originally in the history of vocal percussion.

When the mid-to Baroque, Baroque to Romantic, Romantic become classical, "human Percussion" disappear temporarily. When the music swung to Bach and Beethoven with the "oratorios" and the symphony includes dozens of violins and the like, use the human voice withers away / not used, but only for one purpose, to sing. However, many new composers, such as Medtner and Rachmaninov use of vocal sounds do not contain poems in classical composition. For example, compositions for voice and piano Rachmaninov called "vokalise", written in 1912, contains a pure melody that reveals the tenderness of vocal harmonization without poetry.

From Africa to America
African ritualist music traditionally uses the sounds of the body to maintain the rhythm, clapping hands and cluck like a foot. Attract-and-loud exhale is called "over-breathing" is also used as a "two-beat rhythm" and to make the unconscious in penampilnya. Patern vocal percussion is also used like, "hup, hup, hup, hup" and "Ka Ch Ch Ch". Today, West African music is still using techniques such as who makes the sound rough or hoarse-hum quality of intense.

In the 17th century, African slaves brought to the plantations in Jamaica and America, which later merged with African music and European folk music from brass bands to create a new form of music called jazz and blues.

barbershop
In the late 1880s, black groups (usually quartets) singing a capella, ie, using only the harmonization of their own voices to create music. They will withstand a long, low tone, which we hear a bass voice in modern beatboxing. Vocal percussion was used by these quartets to help them set the tempo of music, such as a click of the tongue and inhale deeply until a loud voice. Yes, a hundred years ago before Kenny Mohammed, the black barbershop singers had already mastered "the inward Snares" (snare sound creation techniques with deep breathing). Although the vocal percussion is the background of this kind of music, of course, this also creates the effect will be the emergence of scatting and bass humming the strains of jazz, blues, and swing music is a few years later.

Blues and Vocal Percussion
When the Blues brought by black slaves, who tell their life of suffering, there is usually no instruments in use. The musicians will improvise using only his or her voice. Ceklekan claps and sounds (clicks) into his drums, and low-pitched hum of a double bass, 2 spine blues and jazz music. One person will be buzzing, the more people will clap, click and beat a drum as his goods, and one would sing. This will cause the lawyer who then-imitasian many voices, such as 'shhchh' on soft-snare and the 'TSSA' on the hi-hat who played with Blues brushes.Group-group has found a way to make their music just by using their own voices . When the Blues become more mainstream, scatting and bass humming became popular. High-pitched singer will melengkinkan voice, combining a tone, took over as solo trumpet sound. Instantly, this became the form of vocal percussion stample of urban culture, namely, street culture. Poor artists will dominate the streets, or hanging out in sudutan street, imitating the sounds of trumpets and saxophones in jazz performances outside the building.

Where is Start?History of beatboxing is less clear. It began, like graffiti, began to attend in his form as an urban art form. Beginning of hiphop clearly known - Dj play breakbeats in records with MCs rapping in atasnya.Ketika's the MC started rapping on the beat-beat of the drum machine (beat box), in areas like the Bronx Ghetto, drum machine and synthesisers can not afford to have (sampling equipment at the time was expensive, even the musicians pay). Incapacity is the beginning of a discovery, and without any supply from the engine to beat rapping, a new instrument was created - the mouth-and then the human beatbox was born.
Three Kings in the 1980sIn the early mid-80s, three names come together with each other rests - Darren 'Buffy' Robinson, Doug E Fresh and Biz Markie.
There has been heated debate about who the first person, but one important thing, namely in 1983, a group trio from Brooklyn has won a talent contest at Radio City Music Hall. The trio, who became known as The Disco Three, which consists of Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, Damon "Kool Rock-Ski" Wimbley, and Darren "Buff the Human Beat Box" Robinson.Mereka is The Fat Boys. Buff Love, or Buffy who is better known, helped the group win the contest through its ability to play the mouth creating hiphop rima-rima and variations of any sound effects. The prize? Contracts with record companies. According to rumors, the group disbanded when it will reach the second championship! Buffy is famous for its ability to breath between kicks and Snares. The Fat Boys enjoyed a brief heyday. Eventually they disbanded in the early 1990s. Unfortunately, on December 10, 1995, Darren "Buffy the Human Beat Box" Robinson died in Rosedale, NY of a heart attack.

Also in 1983, Doug E Fresh (Doug E. Davis) started his solo debut for a spotlight called "fitting the Budda 'with Spoonie Gee and DJ Spivey although Doug E. Fresh claims he who created the human beatbox in 1980. in 1984, Doug appeared on a classic hip-hop film Beat Street alongside the Treacherous Three and this confirmed him as one of the best beatboxer of all time. Doug who is known for exceptional style, supported by various other suara2, who is now known as "Click-Rolls". In 1985, Doug E. Fresh with The Get Fresh Crew (MC Ricky 'Slick Rick' D, Barry Bee and Chill Will) launch a classic hiphop album double-A side, 'The Show / La In Da Di'.

In 1985, also popularized further by Biz Markie. Although a rapper, he is also concerned with the human beatbox and began to explore sounds like MCing between beats, inwards handclap and tapping harmony.
And he disappeared again ...Beatboxing wading through a phase of the wave of media albums and videos but then disappeared. In the 1990s, hip-hop is no longer the center of attention and beatbox detained by the assumption people will be a circus show value.
Beatboxing / vocal percussion appeared in jazz, and the foundation will be the precursor A Capella groups using soft organic percussion to maintain the tempo of the track-nya.Bentuk this art spread slowly and quietly creep into every genre, including rock music, " The Housejacks ", and a Jazz musician, Bobby McFerrin, continues to show his ability in front of the audience who grew.
Vowel boundaries also ignored by Michael Winslow, a master vocal effects. Maybe we know him through the movie Police Academy, who do a lot of vocal effects, which we might consider it false. He also filled the vocal "behind the Camera Effects" for films such as Back to the Future.
