    If anyone else is curious, there are multiple styles of Vogue as well. The vouging you see in "Paris is Burning" is Old way which focuses on lines and house music. Vouge Femme is where you see the dips and dramatic flair in the video. Vouge New way is coming up that mixes the lines and contortion of old way with the dramatics and music of Vouge femme.

    As an outsider to ballroom but fan of the channel, I came in with kind of an expectation that this video learning about ballroom would lead into y'all trying to make your own ballroom track, the way you've done with other styles. Y'all did a good job of getting across what made it important for y'all not to do that.

    • @SoundFieldPBS
      @SoundFieldPBS  5 лет назад +36

      We've been going around filming these "On Tour" episodes as part of a series, and we are meeting people in person and learning about their style of music. Hopefully these episodes can stand on their own without us making our own songs, because for a lot of them it just wouldn't feel right to do so.

      This felt super informative and super respectful. It's making me think about the act of making art for purpose for a community, because this music is made *for* ballroom in detail down to when they hit the crash cymbal - and it'd be appropriation to try to mimic it for mass audiences, but the tools they use, the effects they pursue, and the questions they ask and answer in the formation of their works are still ... things, that can help us understand what music is and can be. And help us think about the impact we could have had by _not_ being respectful.

    THAT'S IT! I have no idea how you're ever gonna top this one. The music, the creators, the dance, the culture, the entire vibe. I felt uplifted, curious, thrilled and more.
    But that's just what made it to my eyes and ears. And heart. Kudos to the entire team for bringing it and literally making it real. Even the camera operator has attitude and is clearly loving the scene. I can imagine the editors going: "It's too long. Gotta cut, gotta cut. But not that."
    I really liked the drive there. Like WE were going there, going out for some ballroom. So many important details, never cluttered, never buried. Just the right amount of exposition and "talking head", then back inside for more. Yes, I especially liked that the background and explaining was being done outside! "Let's step out for a moment so we can talk."
    What a true gem. Works on so many levels. Thanks!

      @@SoundFieldPBS Just returned for my third viewing. HOW CAN THIS HAVE ONLY 14K VIEWS!
      I personally suck at social media, but this absolutely deserves more exposure, and maybe even a small ad buy.
      Then again, maybe I'm just more thrilled by this than most. I worked my way through college in the early 1980's, immediately got a good job, and for the first time in my life I had money to spend and time to spend as well. But I soon found I had zero social skills. I never previously had time or funds for much of a social life, and I was so busy I didn't feel much of a need. I loved to dance, but in the clubs I had trouble asking for dances. Worse yet, the clubs then were fairly predatory, and women would get defensive very easily, and for good reason.
      I really envied that women could go out onto the dance floor alone, or with other women, when the social norms of the day made that impossible for men. I once voiced this while getting a drink at the bar, and a guy I didn't know said: "There are clubs where you can do just that. But they're gay clubs. And they do welcome straight people, if you're cool about it." He mentioned one club that had Thursday "Bring Your Straight Friends" night.
      My desire to dance crushed my small fear of the unknown. And though I'm as straight as the day is long, I had no concerns at all. I simply viewed it as visiting another culture, something I had done many times while in the US Navy between high school and college.
      That first experience was everything I had hoped for, and more. Not only did I get to dance, but I also found I was accepted. I felt comfortable.
      Well, not all the time. I had to learn how to deal with men who found me attractive. I learned how to gracefully accept a drink from a man, yet do so with no hint of anything happening beyond friendship. I learned how to react to getting my butt pinched. And I learned how **not** to react to erect men rubbing up against me on the dance floor. Just turn away, turn away.
      Basically, I learned what women put up with all the time. And, frankly, those gay men knew how to hit on someone far better than any straight man I had ever met.
      Fortunately, that was just the novelty. The real core was the one simple social rule: "You accept and love me, as I am, and I accept and love you, as you are." Before long, I was being introduced as: "This is my friend Bob. He's not gay. Yet." I also met many self-described "fag hags", straight women who liked being around gay men. I met lesbians who took female lust to a level I had hardly contemplated: Testosterone ain't "all that". And all the pretty, pretty boys. And drag queens. In a place where race and age didn't matter at all. This new circle of friends was far wilder and more wonderful than I could ever have imagined for myself.
      And another thing: These folks hugged. They hugged for real, for at least a full breath. At every opportunity. I didn't realize I was suffering from an extreme case of "hug deprivation". I'm still taking treatments for it every chance I get!
      Eventually I started venturing back to what I was now calling the "straight clubs". Having an open heart changed everything. I stopped asking for dances from women who were being deluged with requests from horny men. I focused on those not dancing, yet looking longingly at the dance floor, much as I had spent so much time doing.
      Before I knew it, I was never off the dance floor! I made so many friends. Then women started asking me for a dance! I made a rule to always say "yes": No rejection ever, only acceptance. And I made more friends. I met and danced with their friends. Including their "pretty" friends.
      I was THAT guy: On the dance floor surrounded by women. Men started asking me how I did it. Rather than explain things, I told them to go to the gay clubs! Some asked me if I was gay. My answer? "Not yet!"
      None of these new friends became girlfriends. I simply was afraid of killing the magic. The best part was I didn't need or want them to be my girlfriends! I wanted them as good friends, as my "dance family".
      Much like how I had been accepted by the gay community. Not just accepted, but also shown how to be a better man. A much better man.
      Then AIDS hit. The gay community shattered, everyone afraid of this devastating epidemic. Being an engineer, I learned the facts, and wasn't scared away. Soon my friends in that community started getting sick and dying. People who had worked so hard to craft their own society within a larger culture that rejected them. I wound up being the friend who would run errands, would visit, would be there every minute I could. My new "dance family" supported me, always reminding me to keep the music on and my legs moving.
      I vividly remember the first time I was the only one there when a friend took his last breath. The grief and sadness gutted me, but was soon replaced by raging anger, that so many others were dying alone. So I went to my dance family and made the Big Ask: Join me. I then learned of PFLAG, and together we supported their efforts, especially their network that ensured nobody suffered or died hungry or alone.
      Eventually that black tide passed and the healing began. The gay community, and culture, reasserted itself. But many of the gay clubs had gone broke, and the social scene was greatly reduced. For a while.
      Seeing this ballroom video snapped me back to the exuberance I felt when I first danced in and with the gay community. That first viewing literally had me sitting on the edge of my seat, talking back to the video, shouting to the dancers: "You GO Girl!"
      It also had me simultaneously laughing and crying. Today's beauty mixing with memories from nearly 40 years ago in ways I hadn't expected. Maybe few can feel what I felt, which may explain the low view count.
      Nah. I still think it's a lack of exposure for this awesome video.

    What really makes me love Sound Field is the thoughtful examination of culture that always accompanies the dissection of musical style. After watching this I feel, not necessarily smarter, but more connected to the people who share this world. There are elements and aspects of American life that are utterly foreign to me, completely outside of my experience, and I desperately want everyone to have that same realization.

    8:45 It's kind of baffling that Nahre is such an open minded, talented and versatile musician but had never seen a DAW like fruityloops before. I had a similar experience with a young, classical schooled music scientist I had a conversation with, who didn't know what MIDI is. They really need to explain this stuff in music schools, I mean, no matter what kind of music you prefer, sequencing changed the artform as a whole in a biiiiig way.
    EDIT: Love this video btw, and didn't want to sound mean or so. Actually love the whole channel!

      shout out fruity loops.. and keep in mind that isn't the only recording software out there... once you learn the theory of DAWs you will understand all DAWs, they all work to do the same thing for the mix. this topic is very important for DJs and Producers today

    love this so much - I've learned about the ballroom scene before but this has given me the most in depth, and from a very interesting perspective. love the people you talked to, the explanations of certain vernacular that comes from ballroom, and the beautiful shots of the dancing.

    That beat when you start revealing the structure under the beats, and we're like, damn.. oh daaamn. And then we're like, seeing it, and seeing ourselves as we're seeing it.., and we're like, goddam. Not only did you lay it down so it's immediately crystallizing, but you saw it in a screen of dots on the first damn beat.
    That beat right there
    That's what I love about this show.
    I couldn't imagine this program working without you two and y'all's genius insights
