In the current report, I will be focusing on Billie Eilish’s concert that I attended on September 15, 2019, at 7 pm. The performance took place at Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta. Billie Eilish is an indie-pop singer and songwriter. At the concert, she performed her songs written together with her brother (a musician) Finneas O’Connell, who was a part of the show.
In this paragraph, I will be looking into details of Billie’s performance: her voice, instruments, dynamics, and tempo. Billie Eilish has a very memorable soprano voice that sounds somewhat intimate, quiet, dreamy and mysterious. In addition, her voice’s dynamics vary significantly: it goes from monotonous, slow sound to dramatic and passionate. Her tempo ranges over Largo, Adagio, Allegro and Presto. Despite the fact, that her vocal is generally characterized as deep, slow, whispery and emotional, her songs are engaging and rhythmic. It could be felt, but also seen at the concert, as everyone was dancing following the sound and rhythm of the music. The music texture consists mostly of homophony. Another important part of her show is an astonishing harmony in which all the controversial details exist. On the one hand, her monotonous voice and her calm facial expression, and, on the other hand, her crazy dancing performance and weird clothing. Additionally, it is a remarkable fact that Billie Eilish has no backup dancers on the show. She dances on her own during the concert, and she can keep people’s attention. Speaking of the musical instruments that were employed, there are piano, guitar and drums.
In conclusion, I want to mention that the atmosphere of the show evoked almost all positive emotions. The coherence between the various components (dynamic, tempo and instruments) made the show of exceptionally high quality.
