Classic FM in The UK

For the last couple of months, I have been listening to Classic FM in the UK. Besides the great music they play, their presenters are across the board great to listen to as well. What I have noticed though have been some trends in the classical music that have been quite surprising. Of course, they are just personal observations!

The first amazing thing that I noticed was how many top notch orchestras are now playing in the UK such as Liverpool and Birmingham. And listening to the radio, other countries certainly seem to have a similar growth when one listens to excellent recordings from across the European Union countries. Years ago, if one country supported one first class orchestra it was quite something. What this means is that the uptake of music as a career has grown hugely. The level of skills required to play in an orchestra are not far removed from taking up a solo career. With other words, skills levels have to be extremely high and huge amounts of work and dedication are required to achieve that.

The next thing I noticed, not having lived in Europe for many years, was the number of unbelievably great soloists from such countries as China and Japan, an incredible tenor, Florez, from Peru and notable ones from Argentina and Mexico as examples. The talent pool has crossed borders, which is wonderful for classical music.

Classic FM runs an audience driven Hall of Fame chart which happens once a year. Another noticeable trend, looking at the results, showed that the composers in the top eleven are still predominantly old school such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach. Where are the living ones? True, one tends not to get that famous while still alive, still. And none of them were Americans.

A sort of answer was presented on Classic FM recently. A modern composer was interviewed and one of the questions was, what trends in modern classical music were showing up. The answer surprisingly was that many modern composers are working with their own sounds. They are not writing for orchestras anymore. Having access to digitally generated sounds obviously has influenced the art of composing. Previously most composers used the piano to 'hear' their work.

There are obviously some modern composers getting airplay, one of which is Karl Jenkins and his music is great. He did start his career as a jazz and jazz-rock musician. That influence really shows. What it does mean though, and something I have noticed with other current classical composers is that there is a 'pop' music influence in that percussion gets a far bigger role to play than in previous classical periods.

And the final surprise has been that soundtracks to the movies have made it big into the classical repertoire and seems to be something that provides a very lucrative income to symphony orchestras. One could say that due to the lack of modern classical music, the movie industry has stepped into the void providing excellent musical scores. In a way, the idea of a leitmotif is relevant in symphonies, operas or movies. When the hero is in the frame, a similar repetition of a few music notes supports that.

There are bound to be other trends in the classical music industry that I haven't noted. For instance a lesser one has been the cross over of pop artists such as Paul McCartney and Sting to try their hand at interpreting classical music whether by writing or playing. Not sure if what I have heard of these efforts so far, is really mind blowing, but I certainly applaud the effort and a spin off is that classical music is finding a larger audience. No wonder Classic FM just won the UK Radio Station of the year award at the UK Radio Oscars. Well done.

How to Connect Your PlayStation 2 Console to the Internet

There are few basic requirement before you wish to connect your playstation 2 console to the internet:

1. Sign up for an internet service provider package.

2. Have a network adapter

3. Have a dial up modem / ADSL Router

The Network Adaptor available in North America does include a 56k built-in analog modem, and most internet service provider has include a modem or router in their package.

4. A PlayStation 2 Memory Card with about 150k space available to install the Network Adaptor drivers and software and save your internet connection settings.

The Network Adapter is a peripheral required to allow your Playstation 2 online. The adapter has a built-in V90 modem and 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet interface for broadband connection where you can plug your ADSL or Cable modem.

A. Network Adapter fits into the port on the back of your PS2, and all you need is a nickel or a common screwdriver to plug in the adapter.

After this simple operation, you just have to install the drivers and the software (included in the package with the Adapter) on your Memory Card.

B. I have a broadband connection. Where do I connect the Adapter?

You just have to connect the Network Adapter to the Cable or ADSL modem you currently use with your PC.

C. I have a dial up 56k modem. Where do I connect my Network Adapter?

The network Adapter comes with a built-in 56k modem. You just have to plug your phone line into the right port.

D. Can I use my USB (narrowband/broadband) modem to play online with my Playstation 2 console?

Since the Network Adapter doesn't have a USB port, this is a question that most gamers asked. Using your USB modem to play with your PlayStation 2 is certainly possible, also with PlayOnline games and services (even if, strangely, PlayOnline website gives a negative answer to this question), but you can't connect it straightly to the USB connection on the front of the console.

To connect your USB modem to the PlayStation 2, the best solution is leaving the modem connected to your PC, and then setup an Internet Connection Sharing connection between the PC and the PlayStation 2. To do this, you will need:

1. USB Modem with USB device cable

2. Windows 98 or higher installed on your PC

3. 1 available Ethernet Card on your PC

4. One Cat5 twisted pair straight cable

If you don't have an Ethernet card on your PC, you can purchase one for a few dollars. Once you have everything, setting up an ICS connection is easy.

First of all, you must have your USB modem properly installed and configured on your PC. Now, enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on your PC - if you are not exactly an expert PC user, detailed directions to install ICS can be found on Microsoft's official website.

Now connect your PlayStation 2 to your computer, plugging one end of the Cat5 cable into the PC's Ethernet Card, and the other end into the PlayStation 2's Ethernet port. Activate the connection on your PC, then insert the Network Adapter start-up disk onto your PlayStation 2 and simply configure your PlayStation 2 for a broadband connection.

G. Can I use my Internet Service Provider in order to make my Playstation 2 Online?

The Network Adapter includes software to connect to the most popular Internet service providers. And if yours is not included in the list, you will simply have to configure the software to connect to your provider.

It's easy as 1-2-3. Anyhow, keep in mind that if you have problems with your Internet Service Provider even when browsing the Internet on your PC, you will have the same problems with your Playstation 2 as well.

The quality of the service offered by your local provider is essential for a great online gaming experience. If you are choosing a new ISP, it might be a good idea to give them a call and ask if their services are compatible with PlayStation 2 online games.

H. I've heard that online gaming is expensive. Is it true?

Nope. There are no fees to play most of the online games available for PlayStation 2 Online. Popular games like SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals, SOCOM II, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King, Madden NFL 2004 are playable for free :)

So far, it seems that only Massive Multiplayer Online Games like Final Fantasy XI or Everquest will need a monthly fee to be played, fees necessary to maintain the powerful servers required to run these games.

An additional cost to play online games derives from the Hard Disk Drive (HDD), which became available in March 2004 in North America at a suggested retail price of $99.

Finally, you have to add the cost of your Internet Service Provider, but you should already be paying for this, isn't it ?
