How To Start Technic Drum

2009-12-14T03:30:00.000-08:00

Teknik Rimshoot
“ Teknik ini akan menghasilkan suara snare yang tajam dan bagus dan teknik ini wajib di kuasai oleh para drumer. Teknik ini paling sering di gunakan pada musik rock , jazz, fusion,funk,latin dan metal”
” Bagaimana cara mengunakan teknik ini yaitu dengan memukulkan stick megenai. Drumhead dan rim(pingiran) pada snare secara bersamaan. Jadi selain stik mengenai bagian tengah juga harus mengenai bagian pinggir dari snare.

Teknik memegang stick
Ada dua cara memegang stick yaitu Matched Grid dan Traditional grid.
” Matched grid sendri ada dua cara yaitu
1.Close hand(tangan tertutup) yaitu pukulan mengandalkan lengan dan pergelangan tangan, pukulan kaku dan tangan cepat lelah serta kecepatan pemukulan terbatas.
2.open hands(tangan terbuka) ibu jari dan telunjuk di gunakan menjepit stick dan keiga jari lainya mendorong Stick.
Traditional grid.
Tangan kanann sama seperti matched grid, Tangan kiri di jepitkan di ibu jari dan di taruh diantara jari tengah dan jari manis. Ibu jari dan di taruh di antara jari tengah dan jari manis. Ibu jari berperan untuk mendorong stick. Mungkin traditional grid lebih sulit di gunakan.

Teknik kaki pedal.

Cara menginjakan pedal pada drum ada dua cara yaitu dengan cara hell down dan heel up.

” hell down adalah teknik yang mana posisi telapak kaki kita ada di seluruh bantalan kaki pedal. Teknik ini di pakai dalam memainkan lagu-laguu jazz(swing, dan pop jazz).
”hell up adalah teknik dimann pijakan kaki kita hanya sebagian dan pada titik yang fokus
Sehingga akan muncul groove yang lebis solid karena kecepatan dan kekuatan kaki akan bertambah. Teknik ini sering di pakai dalam muisik roock, fusion dan punk.

Okeh diatas adalah teknik paling dasar yang harus kita kuasai dulu bagi para drumer pemula. Okeh sampai di situ dsini dulu kita akan membahas teknilain pada kesempatan lain pula mestinya.

Mengenal PICK-UP pada gitar listrik

2009-12-14T03:01:00.000-08:00

pick-up Guitar Elektrik

pada dasarnya sebuah gitar listrik pasti tidak akan lepas dari kommponen ini
kenapa karena ini adalah alat yang wajib ada di gitar kita. apakah
benda itu? yaap betul banget itulah yang di sebut PICk-up(spul). dan
pick up sendiridi bagi dua jenis yaitu single coil dan hambucker.
nah akan kita bahas satu-satu dulu. apa itu single coil? single coil
adalah pick up yang hanya punya satu kumparan saja, sedangkan humbucker
memiliki dua kumaparan yang di letakan bersebelahan (pada humbucker
standart) atau diletakan saling tumpang tindih.

Pasti setelah membaca sedikit penjelasan di atas akan muncul pertanyaan
kenapa namanya bukan double coil dan begini penjelasanya. pick up humbucker
sendiri punya kelebihan yang berbeda dari pada single coil yaitu
mampu mengurangi /menghilangkan hum/noise. prinsip humbeker sendiri akan
membuat noise menjadi out of phase dan sinyal asli in phase sehingga yang
terdengar adalah sinyal asli tanpa noise. dan suara yang di hasilkan
akan lebh tebal dengan kataristik "quack" sedangkan single coil akan
menghasilkan suara yang cerah "twang". single coil umumny amenghasilkan noisi
yang lebih besar dan terpengaruh oleh 60hz. Noise yang timbul apaila kita
mendekatkan gitar dekat dengan alat-alat yang mengandung elektromagnetik
yang di buat dengan dengan magnet biasa akan berbeda kualitasnya di bandingkan
dengan pick up yang mengunakan magnet Alnico. selain itu jumlah gulungan
dalam satu kumparan ,jenis kawat, dan cara penggulungnya juga sangat terpengaruh
terhadap suara. Sekarang kita sudah tahu macam-macam dari pick up kann.

nah sekarang kita akan sedikit mengetahui jenis-jenis kofigurasi dari pickup
.ada 2 jenis konfigurasi pick up yang sangat terkenal dan dan merukpakan
dasar dalam bermain gitar. konfuiurasi itu yaitu : 3 single coil yang merupakan
konfigurasi standard fender stratocaster, dan 2 humbucker yang selalu terpasang
pada gibson Les paul. adapun konfigurasi 2 sigle coil yang di pakai oleh
fender telecaster, tidak banyak di pakai oleh gitar-gitar lain. kebnayakan hanya
di pakai oleh telecaster copy. dengan bemunculan berbagai produsen gitar listrik
.jenis konfigurasi pick up pun mengalami perkembangan walaupun satu dari konfigurasi
pic up pun mengalami perkembangan, walaupun satu dari konfigurasi tersebut di atas
yang terkenal antara lain:
2 single coil neck dan tengah, 1 hhumbucker di bridge dan 2 humbucker di neck dan
bridge, single coil di tengah.

New LA Phil conductor's goal: Music for everybody

2009-10-08T03:04:00.000-07:00

On his second day as musical director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the man of the moment in classical music rehearsed with a group of middle schoolers who were having tempo problems.
"Guys! Violins, I can see you playing but it's so boring," said conductor Gustavo Dudamel. "I need more volume so the instruments sound happy."
Most of the musicians of the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles picked up their instruments for the first time two years ago. They played timidly, like they were surprised to find themselves on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl.
But as the percussion and brass joined in, their music began to sound like Beethoven's celebratory "Ode to Joy."
Dudamel may be one of the hottest stars in orchestral music, but he's no diva. Not only did the 28-year-old work patiently with beginner musicians from South Los Angeles' working-class neighborhoods, he also posed for photos with them, signed their scores and sang "Happy Birthday" to a kid named Daniel who turned 12 that day.
"We're the trumpet 'vatos,'" said 11-year-old Javier Vivar as he threw his arms around two other boys. "We practice three times a week, including Saturdays, and I haven't missed a single class."
The youth orchestra is modeled on El Sistema, the model music education program where Dudamel was trained in his native Venezuela. The government-funded program gives instruments to hundreds of thousands of children and oversees youth orchestras across the country.
Dudamel says he is dedicated to bringing the project to the U.S. and using classical music to help disadvantaged children transform their lives.
"In my country, classical music is an artistic, social project," he said. "My goal is music for everybody, for all the community. People may say it's crazy, romantic. But I believe it and I will work for it."
For Dudamel, culture is one of life's necessities, along with health, education and food, and the orchestra is an essential tool for teaching discipline and teamwork.
Through El Sistema, Dudamel developed his natural talent on the violin, stepped up to the conductor's podium at 14 and started touring as musical director of the Orchestra Simon Bolivar.
When he won the 2004 Gustav Mahler Conducting Prize at age 23, the Los Angeles Philharmonic's previous musical director Esa-Pekka Salonen invited him to come to California to conduct the Philharmonic.
"He told me, in English -- and still my English is terrible -- 'You have to come to L.A. one day to conduct.' But I didn't understand," Dudamel recalled. "I only understand, 'Los Angeles,' and I was like, 'OK!'"

Q&A: Jay-Z on new CD, 9/11 and retiring

2009-09-10T00:37:00.000-07:00

When Jay-Z released his first "Blueprint" CD on Sept. 11, 2001, the rapper couldn't have known how monumental, and tragic, the day would turn out to be.

This week, Jay-Z is once again releasing an album with the "Blueprint" tag, but this time, the release of CD around the Sept. 11 date is not coincidental, but purposeful.

"The Blueprint 3," billed as the final album of a trilogy, is being paired with a special benefit concert on Sept. 11 at Madison Square Garden. It will benefit the families of police officers and firefighters who lost their lives when the World Trade Center's twin towers collapsed in the terrorist attacks.

Jay-Z feels the album -- which features a myriad of guests including Kanye West, Rihanna and Alicia Keys -- shows how he's evolved to become one of hip-hop's leaders.

AP: Why do you feel this is the right time to release the third installment of "Blueprint"?

Jay-Z: This album was actually supposed to come out last year, but for some reason it didn't, and whatever happened and however we got to this place, we're here now. So it just made sense for me to grasp the moment and make it a bigger thing because the first one wasn't planned to come out on September 11, right? There was no "September 11." We didn't know that that tragic event would happen that day. So now with that knowledge, we should never forget and we should always move past it and be strong but never forget.

AP: Tell us about the recording process for this CD.

Jay-Z: It was great. In the face of everything that is going on, just me personally I just stick to true emotions and feelings and strength and growing in music, and not following trends or anything like that. So for me it was refreshing and a great feeling to put out an album, a full album of music that people can listen to and gravitate to. It took me a month just to put the sequence together. I'm proud of the album.

AP: Kayne West was an up-and-coming producer on "Blueprint" back in 2001. How was it different to work with him now?

Jay-Z: The most interesting thing in the studio was Kanye because of Kayne's growth. You got to figure on the first "Blueprint" he was a new producer, so he was just putting in the beats and moving out the way. On this one, he had an opinion about how the songs should sound and it was just great energy that we had in the studio.

AP: The record features a number of newcomers -- Drake, Kid Cudi, Mr. Hudson and J. Cole. What did you learn from them?

DJ AM Planned To Go to Rehab, Girlfriend Denies Breakup Reports

2009-09-02T04:35:00.000-07:00

Adam Goldstein, a/k/a DJ AM, had admitted to relapsing and agreed to go to rehab the day before he was found dead, according to the New York Post,

Goldstein had apparently been acting erratically and missed appointments in the weeks before his death, and his rep confirmed to People that his West Coast manager and an AA sponsor flew to New York as soon as they heard he had relapsed. According to the Post, the two visited Goldstein on Thursday morning. Goldstein supposedly agreed to check himself into a rehab clinic after making a scheduled appearance at the Palms Casino that Friday.

It was inititally reported that Goldstein's girlfriend, 22-year-old Hayley Wood, had broken up with him shortly before his death--claims Wood is now denying. In a statement released to Us , Wood said "any indication that this horribly tragic accident happened because of a rumored breakup is not only untrue but disgusting. We were very much together at the time of his passing, and I love him very much."

Meanwhile, the fate of Goldstein's MTV reality show "Gone Too Far," in which he helped young addicts get clean, is up in the air. Goldstein's rep told CNN that no plans have been made for the show.

Goldstein, a former crack addict who had allegedly been sober for 11 years, admitted to MTV that he was shaken by an episode of "Gone Too Far" in which he purchased a crack pipe to show how easy it was to procure. In the same interview, however, he told the network that he felt compelled to help others get sober. "This is my one chance. I owe it as a human who's sober to say something to them," Goldstein said. "So that's my job. That's what I'm there for."

Chris Brown to get group counseling in Virginia

2009-08-27T00:59:00.000-07:00

Chris Brown likely will spend the next year in group counseling sessions learning about control and other relationship issues as part of his court-ordered treatment for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Brown was sentenced in California Tuesday to five years' probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling for the February attack, and he must stay away from his former girlfriend for the next five years. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg is allowing Brown to complete the community labor and counseling in Richmond, near his Montpelier home.

Brown, 20, will undergo domestic violence counseling at Commonwealth Catholic Charities, a nonprofit social services organization that that works with people from all faiths in central and southwestern Virginia.

Executive Director Joanne D. Nattrass said most of the counseling likely will be done in group sessions. She would not reveal when Brown would start the treatment nor any details about the program.

copy from mail.com

According to the organization's Web site, its Batterer's Intervention Program offers educational group sessions with discussions on such topics as control issues and equality in a relationship.

"BIP frequently tests and challenges each group member's behavior," the Web site states. "Progress is made only if the abuser is self-accountable for all behaviors, and develops the flexibility to make behavioral changes."

In a letter to the court, the charity said it would report on Brown's status monthly. Brown would be allowed to miss up to three sessions.

Richmond police officials said they still were working out what types of chores the 20-year-old will perform as community labor and when he would start. Schnegg wanted Brown to perform physical labor instead of community service, such as mentoring young people.

"The logistics and the timetable are still being worked out," police spokesman James Mercante said.

Included in those discussions is whether there would need to be added security for whatever duties Brown performs, he said.

Richmond Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood said Tuesday the department worked with Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, for several weeks to work out the logistics of Brown's community labor.

"We welcome Chris Brown back to Richmond, and we assure everyone involved that the command of the court will be followed," he said in a statement.

Brown faces prison time if he violates the terms of his sentence. He had until Thursday to report to his probation officer in L.A.

'Wajah' Mbah Surip Laku Rp25 Juta

2009-08-08T10:59:00.000-07:00

Sahabat dekat Mbah Surip, Cubung Warso Putro, mengaku pernah melukis wajah penyanyi beraliran reggae itu dan menjualnya seharga Rp25 juta pada tahun 2007 silam.

Cubung Warso Putro di Jakarta, Kamis (06/08), mengungkapkan, lukisan tersebut diberi judul Beauty and the Beast. Lukisan itu sendiri dibuatnya tahun 2007 pada saat pelaksanaan Jambore Seni Rupa Nasional ke-12.

"Saya dulu melukis Mbah Surip berdampingan dengan Elsa Sigar, anak dari penyanyi balada Ully Sigar Rusadi. Saat itu memang Elsa dan ibunya sedang mengunjungi Pasar Seni Ancol, di mana keduanya merupakan teman dekat Mbah Surip," kenang Cubung.

Akhirnya Elsa dan Mbah Surip dilukis wajahnya setengah badan. Dan lukisan itu dijual saat acara Jambore Seni Rupa Nasional ke-12 yang diselenggarakan di Pasar Seni Ancol.

"Tidak disangka, wajah unik Mbah Surip tersebut laku dijual oleh seorang kolektor. Saya tidak tahu siapa yang beli saat itu," kata Cubung.

Sementara itu, pada acara Jambore Seni Rupa Nasional ke-14 yang akan diselenggarakan pada Jumat (7/8) mendatang, para pelukis yang dekat dan pernah melukis Mbah Surip, rencananya akan memamerkan lukisan Mbah Surip tersebut.

"Saya juga masih menyimpan lukisan wajah Mbah Surip tahun 2007. Namun lukisan tersebut tidak untuk dijual," ujar Cubung. Alasannya, lukisan tersebut adalah buah karya kolaborasi antara Cubung dengan rekannya, Sudaryono, yang sudah meninggal dua tahun lalu.

"Saya saat itu melukis dengan Mas Daryono, yang ketika itu sedang kritis menderita penyakit kanker tulang," ungkap pelukis aliran surealisme tersebut.

Lukisan kolaborasi keduanya, menceritakan tentang, Umboro Karno dari pewayangan yang mana Mbah Surip dalam lukisan itu menggambarkan raksasa yang baik hati. Sedangkan Sudaryono yang merupakan pelukis beraliran impressionis, menggambar seorang wanita cantik yang ditolong oleh raksasa yang baik hati itu.

Cubung mengatakan, sejumlah teman seniman pelukis pun pernah melukis wajah Mbah Surip. Namun para seniman memberikan hasil karyanya kepada Mbah Surip.

Menurut dia, semua lukisan yang mengambil model Mbah Surip, diserahkan kepada penyanyi dan pencipta lagu fenomenal Tak Gendong tersebut yang telah meninggal dunia beberapa hari lalu itu.

"Mungkin di rumah Mbah Surip di Kampung Artis, banyak lukisan wajah Mbah Surip yang disimpan di sana, sebab setiap selesai melukis, para seniman memberikannya kepada Mbah Surip dan dibawa pulang," terang Cubung, yang mengaku mengenal Mbah Surip sekitar 20 tahun itu.

Selain Cubung, A Ad Sugiarto, juga melukis Mbah Surip saat sedang bermain gitar. Dalam lukisannya yang dibuat tahun 2005 itu, Mbah Surip sedang mengiringi para tamu pesta yang sedang merayakan ulang tahun Cubung.

"Saya melukis berdasarkan apa yang saya lihat. Saat itu, di pasar Seni Ancol, para seniman sedang merayakan ulang tahun Cubung. Di sana Mbah Surip bernyanyi dengan gitarnya, dan diabadikan dengan lukisan suasana pesta tersebut," terang Sugiarto.

Namun saat ditanyai, apakah lukisan tersebut akan dijual. Sugiarto mengatakan, tidak akan menjualnya sebab kenangan dirinya dengan Mbah Surip sangatlah kental.

"Saya ini punya memori dengan Mbah Surip. Setiap kali pulang dari pasar Seni Ancol, pulangnya selalu bersama dengan Mbah Surip," kenangnya.

Banyaknya seniman yang melukis Mbah Surip, sebab penyanyi beraliran reggae itu sudah menjadi ikon dan maskot para pelukis di Pasar Seni Ancol.

Di acara Jambore nanti lukisan-lukisan dengan model Mbah Surip tersebut akan ditampilkan. Para seniman sahabat Mbah Surip pun sangat kehilangan tawa dan canda Mbah Surip setiap acara Jambore yang selalu kedatangan Mbah Surip.

"Biasanya setiap datang dan bertemu pelukis, Mbah Surip selalu mengatakan 'I love you full'," terang Sugiarto. (kpl/npy)

Psychedelic songwriter John Dawson dies at 64

2009-07-24T03:43:00.000-07:00

John "Marmaduke" Dawson, a longtime Grateful Dead collaborator who co-wrote "Friend of the Devil" and developed a devoted following with his psychedelic country group New Riders of the Purple Sage, has died. He was 64.

Dawson died Tuesday from stomach cancer in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where he had retired several years ago, said Rob Bleetstein, archivist for the band.

With the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, Dawson co-founded New Riders in 1969 to showcase his songs along with Garcia's pedal-steel guitar playing.

Two other Dead members, bassist Phil Lesh and drummer Mickey Hart, also played in New Riders for a time, according to the band's Web site.

The band toured with the Dead starting in 1970 and released eight albums on Columbia Records from 1971 to 1976.

Dawson also contributed to a number of Grateful Dead songs, most notably co-writing "Friend of the Devil" with Garcia and Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.

The New Riders scored their first gold record in 1973 with the hit "The Adventures of Panama Red."

In 1974, the band played to 50,000 fans at a free concert in New York's Central Park.

Jackson children were well prepared for spotlight

2009-07-10T02:23:00.000-07:00

Katherine Jackson, who Michael named as his choice of caretaker in case of his death, was named by a judge as the temporary guardian of Jackson's children, and they have been with her and the entire Jackson clan ever since his June 25 death. Their longtime nanny, Grace Rwaramba, has also been with the children, according to a source close to the family who is not authorized to speak for the family and requested anonymity.

While the Jackson family has long been perceived as dysfunctional -- their battles have played out famously on the public stage -- what struck many people at Jackson's memorial service on Tuesday was their display of nity.

Paris-Michael clutched grandmother Katherine during the service, while Prince Michael held onto his Aunt Janet as his sister made her tear-jerking testament of love about her father. Blanket hid behind a phalanx of Jacksons siblings onstage, and when Michael's brother Marlon broke down while addressing the Staples Center crowd, the entire Jackson family, including the children, embraced in one powerful group hug.

"The family is much closer than one wanted to perceive," said Sharpton, who acknowledged that Paris' speech was spontaneous. "People far overestimate and embellish any perceived differences in that family."

The public images of a Jackson family united in grief may help Katherine Jackson as she heads into Monday custodial hearing involving Mrs. Jackson and the biological mother of Jackson's two oldest children, Deborah Rowe. Rowe, who was previously married to Jackson, has not had a relationship with Prince or Paris-Michael, but since Jackson's death has expressed interest in raising not only her two biological children, but Blanket as well, to whom she has no relation (the mother of Blanket, born to a surrogate, has never been revealed).

It is unclear if a custody battle will develop. Rowe's attorney said she has not decided it she plans to seek custody, and people close to interactions with both camps, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said both sides have been gracious and cordial, not contentious.

Sharpton said the Jacksons haven't been anticipating a battle, but when asked about the best interests of the kids, said: "They ought to be around the people they are most familiar with. This is not the beginning of their relationship (with the Jacksons)."

Still, some have expressed concern that the Jackson's kids may suffer by being placed with their extended family. Michael's father Joe has been roundly criticized for promoting a record label on television in the days after his death, and Michael had long described him as physically and emotionally abusive. Katherine's age has led to questions about her ability to look after adolescent children.

Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's longtime dermatologist and friend, told "Larry King Live" on Wednesday night he feared that the performing family might turn Jacksons' kids into "The Jackson 3, their intelligence dancing away -- because these children are bright."

But Sharpton dismissed the idea that the Jacksons would seek to exploit the children or take them on a path other than the one Michael Jackson had intended for them.

"For the life of me I don't now why people would assume based on no evidence at all why the Jacksons wouldn't have their own grandchildren and niece and nephews at heart," he said. "It is the most ridiculous notion I've heard."

Los Angeles braces for Michael Jackson's final act

2009-07-07T01:45:00.000-07:00

Katherine Jackson's attorneys expressed concerns about McClain and Branca's financial leadership. "Frankly, Mrs. Jackson has concerns about handing over the keys to the kingdom," said one of her attorneys, John E. Schreiber.

Branca and McClain will have to post a $1 million bond on the estate, and their authority will expire Aug. 3, when another hearing will be held.

"Mr. Branca and Mr. McClain for the next month are at the helm of the ship," the judge said.

Jackson died at age 50 with hundreds of millions in debts. But a court filing estimates his estate is worth more than $500 million. His assets are destined for a trust,
with his three children, his mother and charities as beneficiaries.

Debbie Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of Jackson's two oldest children, had planned to attend the memorial but backed out Monday. "The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction," her attorney Marta Almli said in a statement.

In New York, Republican Rep. Peter King released a YouTube video calling Jackson, who was acquitted of child molestation charges, a "pervert" and a "low-life."

But the memories of Jackson's problems were far from the minds of fans preparing to say goodbye.

"It's the passing of a great soul," said Matt Tyson, 31, of Ojai, Calif. "He brought people together, helped express something that's in us all."

Downtown hotels were quickly filling. Police, trying to avoid a mob scene, warned those without tickets to stay away because they would not be able to get close to the Staples Center.

All those involved say the heart of Los Angeles will become a circus. In one way, that characterization will be literal.

Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey starts a run at Staples Center on Wednesday, a booking long planned in advance. In the pre-dawn hours before Jackson's memorial, the elephants will walk from the train station to the arena.

Singer Michael Jackson dead at 50 Legendary pop star had been preparing for London comeback tour

2009-06-26T00:15:00.000-07:00

Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50.

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.

The circumstances of Jackson’s death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to the hospital, Ruda told the newspaper.

Jackson’s death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music’s premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

His 1982 album “Thriller” — which included the blockbuster hits “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.

The public first knew him in the late 1960s, when as a boy he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the music group he formed with his four older brothers. Among their No. 1 hits were “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.”

Ranked with Elvis, Beatles
He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove, tight military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance.

“For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words,” said Quincy Jones, who produced “Thriller.” “He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. He united two of music’s biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie, and Jackson’s death immediately evoked that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977.

As years went by, Jackson became an increasingly freakish figure — a middle-aged man-child weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower, and he spoke in a breathy, girlish voice. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland Ranch, often wore a germ mask while traveling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.

“It seemed to me that his internal essence was at war with the norms of the world. It’s as if he was trying to defy gravity,” said Michael Levine, a Hollywood publicist who represented Jackson in the early 1990s. He called Jackson a “disciple of P.T. Barnum” and said the star appeared fragile at the time but was “much more cunning and shrewd about the industry than anyone knew.”

Jackson caused a furor in 2002 when he playfully dangled his infant son, Prince Michael II, over a hotel balcony in Berlin while a throng of fans watched from below.
In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him, and of engaging in strange and inappropriate behavior with other children.

The case followed years of rumors about Jackson and young boys. In a TV documentary, he had acknowledged sharing his bed with children, a practice he described as sweet and not at all sexual.

Despite the acquittal, the lurid allegations that came out in court took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble.

Comeback had been planned
Jackson was preparing for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13. He was in rehearsals in Los Angeles for the concert, an extravaganza that was to capture the classic Jackson magic: showstopping dance moves, elaborate staging and throbbing dance beats.
Singer Dionne Warwick said: “Michael was a friend and undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest entertainers that I fortunately had the pleasure of working with. ... We have lost an icon in our industry.”

Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital as word of his death spread. The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center, which is near Jackson’s rented home, was roped off with police tape.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Jackson has just died,” a woman boarding a Manhattan bus called out shortly after the news was announced. Immediately many riders reached for their cell phones.
So many people wanted to verify the early reports of Jackson’s death that the computers running Google’s news section interpreted the fusillade of “Michael Jackson” requests as an automated attack for about half an hour Thursday evening.

In New York’s Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone.

“No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow,” Michael Harris, 36, of New York City, read from a text message a friend sent to his telephone. “It’s like when Kennedy was assassinated. I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died.”
