The Voice Of Beaconsfield

By
Tyrique Van der Byl, otherwise known as Stormi Wolf. He is a prolific rapper hailing from Beaconsfield, Kimberley, in the Northern Cape. He started off doing poetry at the age of 15 and has since evolved into the musician he is today. He hopes to popularize the sound of Beaconsfield and to spread love and positivity in his community. I recently had the opportunity to interview him to get his perspective on things.

1. Give me and the readers some background into your career in music.
"As far as my musical background, it stretches way back to the age of 12 when I was introduced to different genres of music. I started writing songs and doing poetry at the age of 15. I started improving thanks to my constant search for knowledge and my love for books sparked my creativity in music." He also adds that he had a troublesome childhood but he prefers not to divulge into that.

2. What is your inspiration and do you feel like what you're doing is making a difference in your community?
"My biggest inspiration is my fellow artist and brother, SB. But as far as music I am inspired by anyone who actually takes time in their craft and settles for nothing less than the best product." He feels that artists from Beaconsfield are always being slept on. "The only difference I'm trying to make is to show and not to prove anything. My sound spreads love but has a lot of contradictions and emotional content as I am from a place where nobody wants to see you make it."

3. Do you think you were born with this talent or is it something that has developed over time?
"I was born for this, without a doubt." He adds, "I lead a spiritual life and through revelations my musical ability will serve as a shoulder to cry on for the broken. I go into a state if disconnect when I write songs and it feels like I was born just to make music."

He has released a single on SoundCloud ealier this year. - Life of a don

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz)// The Mosh Turnout

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz) ¹. Gives definition to the high end of the vocals ². Makes the vocals more crisp and clear ³. Makes the vocals sound like a more defined part of the mix ⁴. Brightens up the vocals for a more "professional sound"  One of the keywords are "Brightens", which refers to a tonality when the signal is rich in high frequencies. To make the vocal "poke" out of the mix this is one of the best ways as it creates a type of lift to the vocal that when done to proper taste, can be the difference between your vocal sounding bland and your vocal sounding crisp. This also makes the vocal more audible and clear as adding high end frequencies somewhat balances out someone with a deep voice when you are trying not to cut too much out of the frequencies of their voice. When using additive equalization before compression you can really push a high shelf as the compression contains the high end. Advertisement   Promote your...

Song Review: Company by Flassouw

By The Mosh Turnout

  One of Flassouw's great storytelling songs from her most recent EP, "Nothing To Something," is titled "Company." The album follows the female rapper's 'Teenage Life Patterns' effort by almost a year. This song features some of Flassouw's best lyrical work; her flow is flawless, and the phrases are delivered precisely and passionately. I was astounded by how she brought out Mvx053 to sing backing vocals over the hook. The structure of this song is truly amazing; it has a little bit of everything. This provided the song the well-balanced "Melodic Hook" + "Rap Verse" + "Melodic Hook" formula, which has consistently shown to be a "hit song" formula if the plot and vocal delivery are planned up appropriately. You can hear a lover pleading for her boyfriend on the chorus, saying she wants his company. The first verse tells the tale of a young woman who is under pressure from others because they have great expec...
