Wolves (Garbage Song)
"Wolves" is a song by American alternative rock band Garbage. It was released as the third and final single from the band's seventh studio album '' No Gods No Masters'' (2021) on May 19, 2021 by their independent label Stunvolume. Background and composition "Wolves" is a guitar-driven alternative rock song with industrial, grunge and electronic elements. Singer Shirley Manson described it as the album's "pop song." "Wolves" was inspired by the two wolves story which Manson read somewhere on Easter-European folklore about "the boy who had the wolves inside and this wrestling of good and evil". After she read the story, Manson left a note of it on her computer and never went back to it again, so she doesn't recall where it was from or who wrote it. The story was popularized by Billy Graham in his book ''The Holy Spirit: Activating God's Power in Your Life''. Manson said "Wolves" is "a song about inner conflict. About regret. About duality," dealing with the choice of good vs. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Techno
Techno is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) which is generally produced for use in a continuous DJ set, with tempo often varying between 120 and 150 beats per minute (bpm). The central rhythm is typically in common time (4/4) and often characterized by a repetitive four on the floor beat. Artists may use electronic instruments such as drum machines, sequencers, and synthesizers, as well as digital audio workstations. Drum machines from the 1980s such as Roland's TR-808 and TR-909 are highly prized, and software emulations of such retro instruments are popular. Much of the instrumentation in techno emphasizes the role of rhythm over other musical parameters. Techno tracks mainly progress over manipulation of timbral characteristics of synthesizer presets and, unlike forms of EDM that tend to be produced with synthesizer keyboards, techno does not always strictly adhere to the harmonic practice of Western music and such structures are often ignored in favor of timbr ...

Androgyny (song)
"Androgyny" is a Rock music, rock, Pop music, pop, and funk song released by American alternative rock group Garbage (band), Garbage as the lead single from their third studio album, ''Beautiful Garbage''. Released worldwide in September 2001, "Androgyny" represented a shift in the group's style, overtly embracing current music elements into their repertoire. Drummer/producer Butch Vig explained: "To me, some of the most cutting edge music out there is in the Top 40. Some of the songs on ''Beautiful Garbage'', like "Androgyny" and "Untouchable" are influenced by Timbaland and Dr. Dre." Promotion for "Androgyny" and its parent album were put on hold in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The mixed reaction from both critics and Garbage's fanbase to "Androgyny" also contributed to its underperformance in Garbage's home markets of the United Kingdom, where "Androgyny" stalled outside the UK Singles Chart, top twenty, and in the United States, where it failed to register ...

Rotoscoping
Rotoscoping is an animation technique that animators use to trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame, to produce realistic action. Originally, animators projected photographed live-action movie images onto a glass panel and traced over the image. This projection equipment is referred to as a rotoscope, developed by Polish-American animator Max Fleischer, and the result is a rotograph. This device was eventually replaced by computers, but the process is still called rotoscoping. In the visual effects industry, ''rotoscoping'' is the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background. Chroma key is more often used for this, as it is faster and requires less work, but rotoscopy provides a higher level of accuracy and is often used in conjunction with chroma-keying. It may also be used if the subject is not in front of a green (or blue) screen, or for practical or economic reasons. Technique Ro ...

Stop Motion
Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back. Any kind of object can thus be animated, but puppets with movable joints (puppet animation) or plasticine figures (''clay animation'' or claymation) are most commonly used. Puppets, models or clay figures built around an armature are used in model animation. Stop motion with live actors is often referred to as pixilation. Stop motion of flat materials such as paper, fabrics or photographs is usually called cutout animation. Terminology The term "stop motion", relating to the animation technique, is often spelled with a hyphen as "stop-motion". Both orthographical variants, with and without the hyphen, are correct, but the hyphenated one has a second meaning that is unrelated to animation or cinema: "a device for automatical ...
