Music Beginner needing help with intervals identification

https://preview.redd.it/iibuy36mne0d1.png?width=601&format=png&auto=webp&s=71d7102b5cd782411342fd81ae765a9539a38109

Hi, am confused on why this is m7 instead of M7. Here's how I analyze:

The key signature, with one F sharp, tells us that this is either G major or E minor. The two notes shown are B and A respectively. My first instinct told me this is M7 since there are no additional sharps or flats, and the two notes - B and A, doesn't end on either the key G or E.

But turns out the answer was m7. Why??

A little help

There is a song/person I’m searching for but my brain isn’t searching well, hopefully it’s pretty easy, I wanna say it originally 1930’s, think it’s got turned into a film maybe? He’s a black guy with an amazing deep voice, think it’s about a river? But my brain has been searching YouTube badly for too long.

Question about old-school rap songs

Were there any actual notable old-school rap songs that began with "My name is [x] and I'm here to say"? So far, I've only ever seen it in parodies.

At the end of Sweet Child of Mine, does Axl Roae sing the opening riff of the song?

I've been trying to work this out for a while each time it comes on. To me it sounds very similar to the guitar riff, if a couple of notes off. The bit at the end where he goes

"Sweet Chi AH ah AH ah AH ah ah ah AH ah AH AH ah ah ild of miiiine"

What exactly is he doing here?

Anyone know anything about this album "FUNeral DEPT" from 1999?

Was in a random Youtube rabbit hole the other day and found this weird lo-fi album from 1999 that doesn't seem to exist anywhere else. I googled it and there is literally nothing about it. Does anyone know anything about this?

What is the part of a song with "explosive vocals" called?

For example, in Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love you is there a term that describes the 3rd part where she delivers the chorus in a powerful way/big vocals?

I have it on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember.

Recommendations for instrumental erhu / guqin music

Looking for recommendations of artists/recordings with minimal instrumentation outside of erhu and guqin. I don't care if they are traditional or contemporary pieces, just something that celebrates virtuosity with these specific instruments and the amazing textural contrast they have in duet.

Why do live recordings of performances esp concert sounds so inferior to regular commercial releases by the same artists? Or at least very different? In addition despite this why do live TV broadcast of concerts and other shows still manage to sound as crystal clear as the stuff sold in stores?

I just finished listening to the 2014 Peach Music Festival live recording of The London Souls and god the singing sounds o inferior to what The London Sous have done on Youtube music videos and their regular CD albums and MP3 singles. For some reason the vocals are not crystal clear and the instruments they played also seem not to sound as smooth as in their regular commercial releases. I'm not even counting the static and garble I kept hearing throughout the whole album.

In addition I also listened to Queen's live performance at Wembly almost 40 years ago on Youtube. The overall quality is far better, about just as good as expected from Freddy Mercury. But yet despite that the singing and rock electric guitar feels very different from the studio releases.

I ask why does this seem the case for live recordings of performances esp concerts? Esp when the same shows are being broadcasted on TV live they sound just as crystal clear as they do on CD, vinyl, and MP3 files?

Requesting old Norse Christian songs (can be modern)

Hey guys, I’m requesting Christian music, but made in this style. I want to feel like a warrior under Christ when I train, and a lot of modern Christian music is feminine. Please let me know if you find anything, or know someone who can make such music. I know this band is pagan, but I love the drums and throat singing. Have a blessed day.

Late 2000s mixtape of cover songs

Around 2006-2007, there was a blog that had mixtapes. There were a couple volumes, one with just covers and one with great songs. I want to say it was called the fragile or something like that. Some of the sounds on it were:

  • Crazy in Love (cover)
  • Crazy by Gnarls Barkley (maybe a cover or acoustic)
  • Beautiful by Clem Snide (cover)
  • Rabbit Fur Coat by Jenny Lewis

Does anyone remember this? I’m trying to find the playlists— they were great.

*they weren’t put together as individual songs that you could skip. It was just one long 40-45 minute MP3 sequence.

Why do notes repeat themselves in a higher frequency?

A question I cannot wrap my head around is why higher pitches of notes are not completly different notes in and of themselves. Why do notes repeat themselves in a higher frequency? Shouldnt it always be a new note the higher the pitch you go? It's so bizare how you got an E note, and if you continue raising the pitch you will return back to it.

Looking for Neole Egen's Korruptika, etc. Thanks.

Hello!

Around 20 years ago I had some mp3 files on my computer, songs from a band called Neole Egen.

I remember well their song "Korruptika" which was also their album title. I also remember another song which had the word "vampyress" in the title.

I am trying to find their music again, a YouTube link, an eBay listing, anything...

This is the only proof that I have that they are actually real and I didn't imagine them: https://www.last.fm/music/Neole+Egen

Please, help?

What genre of music would you call these songs?

They are in French but I'm asking about the style of the vocals, not the content of the lyrics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS8Hkf_aOr4&pp=ygUGbXIvbW1l

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trOTwkDILpw&pp=ygUSbWF1dmFpcyByZXZlIGhvc2hp

It's similar to rap but that's not really what I would call it. Not spoken word either since there's a rhythm and melody. What would you call them?

What happens if you listen to music with one ear bud?

I’ve been noticing a difference in sound levels when I have both ear buds in, I believe this is due to me listening to music with my left ear bud for 5 months, as it wasn’t noticeable until about two weeks ago,it’s only for music as well my normal hearing seems fine.(I listen to music lound but not crazy so it’s not that) it’s about a 15% difference. Is this why or is it something else?
