Article: "Djent" is an onomatopoetic word used to refer to a guitar tone and a stylized riff used in a particular strain of progressive metal music. The term was originally used by Meshuggah guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, to refer to the kind of tone he was trying to get, but it's now applied by fans (and detractors) of a particular group of bands that use that tone, specifically in main guitar riffs and breakdowns. In the metal community, there's some debate about whether or not "djent" is an actual genre or distinct style, or has any staying power as a style. Meshuggah is widely credited as the bad to popularize and coin the djent tone, though it now applies to a variety of progressive meta, pop metal, and metalcore bands who implement djent breakdowns into the songs. If you're curious about the "djent" sound, check out the following bands:  Periphery Animals as Leaders Tesseract Monuments Born of Osiris Cloudkicker Bulb If you want to hear the riff specifically to get a sense of the sound that Fredrik was originally referring to, there are a variety of "djent comps" on YouTube that stream together the heaviest and most "djenty" of the djent riffs. It's a good way to do some quick research. Again, the existence of djent as a particular genre is somewhat debatable, and it's primarily a trend that peaked in some metalcore bands between 2010 and 2012. Because of this, there aren't a lot of bands that self-identify as "djent" bands, but you might be able to hear the influence or the style in their music, since it merely refers to a particular tone and style of riff. You might find djent riffs in:  Deathcore or straight-up death metal Metalcore, pop metal, or screamo Prog metal or math rock

Article: Vibrato is an effect that warbles a note while you play. Vibrato is achieved by bending and unbending your finger as you play on a string. This dynamic is usually marked as “Vibr” underneath the notes that should be played as vibrato. Pizzicato is a technique, usually noted as "pizz" or sometimes spelled out in its entirety, that indicates you should play a note by plucking the violin string with your finger. If there is no obvious “pizz” or “pizzicato” designated, then assume the musical piece should be played as “arco,” or using the bow to play the notes. Pizzicato may also be designated with the Bartok pizzicato symbol, also known as a “snap pizzicato.” This symbol, a circle with a vertical line through the top, will appear above the note to be plucked. This type of pizzicato is given an extra snap by pinching the string with two fingers and snapping it back into the finger board. A tremolo is a style of playing very quick, rapid sounds as the bow draws back and forth across the string. The tremolo is noted with thick, short diagonal lines drawn through the note or the stem of the note. They can be either measured or unmeasured.  One diagonal line means 1/8 note tremolo (measured). Two diagonal lines mean 1/16 note tremolo (measured). Three diagonal lines mean an unmeasured tremolo. Style markings give you an indication of the mood with which to play music. These are typically noted in Italian. Some of the more common words you'll see are:   Con: With  Poco a poco: Little by little  Meno mosso: Less movement  Dolce: Sweetly  Allegro: Quick and lively Dynamics in sheet music indicate how loud or quiet you should play. These are typically indicated below the staff and will change as you progress through the music. Written in Italian, these range from very quiet (pianissimo) to mezzo (medium) to fortissimo (very loud).  Dynamics usually show up as lower-case letters, such as p (piano), mf (mezzo forte), ff (fortissimo) and so on. Crescendos and diminuendos are also used, which indicate that your playing should get louder or quieter gradually. They are typically indicated by a long, thin carrot or accent mark.

Article: Watch Michael Dickinson's TED talk on how flies fly to gain awesome insight. .. well... uh... hinges on the hinges where the wings attach to the body. If these are immobilized, the fly becomes a "walk." Chemists all around the world have worked in labs for years— formulating, testing and refining stiffening products for the hair. Guess what? The hairspray does not know what it is stiffening. It indiscriminately stiffens everything it hits, fly wings and fly wing-hinges included. (Don't worry.— You will not get put on any lists for this kind of stalking.) Simply observe the fly and get in a good position to intercept the flight path of the proudly parading pesky pest. Zing. You got a tumbler!... and a walker. Invert the glass and place it over the fly.   Bye, bye dead fly. Note: this burial at "sea" can be just as ceremonious as you want, but there is no real need to go out of your way. It is only a fly... walk... goner.
