Karaoke Music: The Empty Orchestra
The word Karaoke is a portmanteau, a word that is used broadly that is blended from two or more words to mean one thing: empty orchestra. This word comes from the Japanese. It's a way of entertainment for amateur singers.
Karaoke is a way to pretend your something that your not. It is a way to sing along to recorded music, sing your heart out, and pretend that you are a rock star. The basic setup is to sing along to recorded music, but an advance setup comes with music video, microphone, and a stage setup like a concert.
There are many different Karaoke songs. Basically Karaoke is a piece of music that is stripped of its lyrics. The lyrics are placed on a screen for a singer to sing. To keep the singer on track, there is usually a bouncing ball or symbol that goes along with the music. It let's them know when to start and stop each verse of the song.
Karaoke is not only for amateurs. It has been around as long as recording of music. When it's not practical for a full band or orchestra, many professional singers will use a recording of their hit music. They then sing live, not lip sing, their song.
Who first created karaoke? Well, their have been some disputes as to who created this form of singing. One story goes that Daisuke Inoue created the first ever karaoke machine in Japan in 1971. Then it spread to other parts of Asia in the 1980s as it rose in popularity.
Karaoke is everywhere. In Japan it is used to entertain dinner guests. In Korea you can rent out a karaoke room for you and your friends. This room is decked out with all the latest karaoke gizmos. Big screen TV, high tech karaoke machine, state of the art sound system, all rapped in a sound proof room.
Karaoke technology consists of a few basic components. You have the music player, the microphone input, a way to alter the pitch of the music, and an audio output. The most common machines are the CD+G, DVD player with microphone input jack, VCD, and Laser Disc. - 23815
