“I was off the scene for a while during the ska period and when I returned and joined the Treasure Isle studio, I came there with a different mood. The musicians picked up on that and we kept on going in that direction. The music became slower, which gave the bass player the time to play more notes. In 1965 I named it rocksteady. The first rocksteady song was 'Girl I've Got A Date'. That one was still a bit up-tempo, leaning towards ska. It turned the tide and made Treasure Isle the number one studio.” FirstsMadeStillsDifferentPlaySongGirlBitsNumbersPlayerPeriodsSceneMusicianMusic IsNotesStudiosMoodTreasureTidesBassTempoIsleBass PlayersDifferent Moods Author:Alton Ellis
“It is agreed that all sound which is the material of music is of three sorts. First is harmonica, which consists of vocal music; second is organica, which is formed from the breath; third is rhythmica, which receives its numbers from the beat of the fingers. For sound is produced either by the voice, coming through the throat; or by the breath, coming through the trumpet or tibia, for example; or by touch, as in the case of the cithara or anything else that gives a tuneful sound on being struck.” GivingFirstsThreeSoundVoiceNumbersMusicCasesExampleMaterialsMusic IsBeatsThirdsBreathsFingersThroatVocalTrumpetsHarmonicasSevilleVocal Music Author:Isidore of Seville
