Funky music is an energetic, modern and positive instrumental music track in pop and funk style. It was based on a two-celled that is on the beat or offbeat structure which originated from Sub-Saharan African music traditions. It can be used anywhere you want to create the upbeat and joyful summer mood. Great for YouTube videos, documentaries, radio broadcast, TV commercials, free time with family or friends, fashion shows, and even corporate presentations.
Is generally made up of jazz, soul and Rhythm and Blues (R&B).The late 1960’s brought about its birth with James Brown’s development of a signature groove that emphasizes the downbeat.
When played, it brings forth potency and coarseness that makes one want to get up and dance. Many funk lovers prefer melody to the beat in this kind of music. In a way, it appears to downplay the chord and harmonic progressions used in other music genres with a close relation. It is known to create a powerful response to every listener due to the drumming and electric bass notes.
To create more emphasis the artists chose a lot of drumming that is fired up by other instruments with the bass guitar being most distinctive. Horns are also significant in their own unique way, bringing out a vigorous pop of music notes. Although this kind of music may pass unnoticed to the audience, it has a very important function in the multimedia experience. It sets the tone and emotional context for the actions of the characters. Artists like James Brown and The Family Stone have given meaning to the funk music industry. Their music will make you experience the true funky swing.
Funk music presented a distinctly communal dimension. Its libretto was majorly societal and civil matters. Artists were courageous in highlighting challenges like racism and giving comments on social inequality through their music. It started with a very urban notion and was quickly embraced by listeners. They identified themselves with a unique sense of style that included; big sunglasses, wildly attires, bright colored shoes and feathery costumes. To reveal the funk in the music, the beat was dwindled and amplified at the same time to sound different from the standard common beat.
Background music helps the flow of a video by suggesting a certain pace. For example, fast backing tracks give the impression that the scene is faster than in real life. That musical motive that is repeated throughout helps to glue the scenes together and makes the story more consistent that’s why this kind of music is imaginable.
