Techno

Techno is a form of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in Detroit, Michigan (USA) in the mid to late 1980s. The first recorded use of the word techno, in reference to a genre of music, was in 1988. Many styles of techno now exist, but Detroit techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built.

The initial take on techno arose from the melding of European electronic music by artists such as Kraftwerk with African American music including funk, electro, Chicago house and electric jazz. Added to this is the influence of futuristic and fictional themes that are relevant to life in American late capitalist society—particularly the book The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler. Pioneering producer Juan Atkins cites Toffler's phrase "techno rebels" as inspiring him to use the word techno to describe the musical style he helped to create. This unique blend of influences aligns techno with the aesthetic referred to as afrofuturism. To producers such as Derrick May, the transference of spirit from the body to the machine is often a central preoccupation; essentially an expression of technological spirituality. In this manner: "techno dance music defeats what Adorno saw as the alienating effect of mechanisation on the modern consciousness".

Music journalists and fans of techno are generally selective in their use of the term; so a clear distinction can be made between sometimes related but often qualitatively different styles, such as tech house and trance. "Techno" is also commonly confused with generalized descriptors, such as electronic music and dance music

Rock......!!

Rock music is a genre of popular music that entered the mainstream in the 1950s. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country music and also drew on folk music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar, a back beat laid down by a rhythm section of electric bass guitar and drums, and keyboard instruments such as Hammond organ, piano, or, since the 1970s, synthesizers. Along with the guitar or keyboards, saxophone and blues-style harmonica are sometimes used as soloing instruments. In its "purest form", it "has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody."[1]

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, rock music developed different subgenres. When it was blended with folk music it created folk rock, with blues to create blues-rock and with jazz, to create jazz-rock fusion. In the 1970s, rock incorporated influences from soul, funk, and Latin music. Also in the 1970s, rock developed a number of subgenres, such as soft rock, glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and punk rock. Rock subgenres that emerged in the 1980s included new wave, hardcore punk and alternative rock. In the 1990s, rock subgenres included grunge, Britpop, indie rock, and nu metal.

A group of musicians specializing in rock music is called a rock band or rock group. Many rock groups consist of an electric guitarist, lead singer, bass guitarist, and a drummer, forming a quartet. Some groups omit one or more of these roles or utilize a lead singer who plays an instrument while singing, sometimes forming a trio or duo; others include additional musicians such as one or two rhythm guitarists or a keyboardist. Rock bands from some genres, particularly those related to rock's foundations in rock and roll, include a saxophone. More rarely, groups also utilize bowed stringed instruments such as violins or cellos, and brass instruments such as trumpets or trombones.

More recently the term rock has been used as a blanket term including forms such as pop music, reggae music, soul music, and sometimes even hip hop, with which it has often been contrasted through much of its history.[2]

cake

Cake is a form of food, typically a sweet, baked dessert. Cakes normally contain a combination of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil, with some varieties also requiring liquid (typically milk or water) and leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder). Flavorful ingredients like fruit purées, nuts or extracts are often added, and numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients are possible. Cakes are often filled with fruit preserves or dessert sauces (like pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders or candied fruit.

Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake

La pomme

La pomme de terre, ou patate (langage familier, canadianisme et français régional), est un tubercule comestible produit par l'espèce Solanum tuberosum, appartenant à la famille des solanacées. Le terme désigne également la plante elle-même, plante herbacée, vivace par ses tubercules en l'absence de gel mais cultivée comme une plante annuelle.

La pomme de terre est originaire de la cordillère des Andes dans le sud-ouest de l'Amérique du Sud où son utilisation remonte à environ 8 000 ans. Introduite en Europe vers la fin du XVIe siècle à la suite de la découverte de l’Amérique par les conquistadors espagnols, elle est aujourd’hui cultivée dans plus de 150 pays sous pratiquement toutes les latitudes habitées.

C'est une source importante de glucides, qui se présentent principalement sous forme de fécule[N 1], mais aussi de protéines et de vitamines. Ses qualités nutritives et sa facilité de culture font qu’elle est devenue l'un des aliments de base de l’humanité, figurant parmi les légumes et féculents les plus consommés. C’est aussi la culture alimentaire la plus productive, produisant plus de matière sèche à l’hectare que les céréales et que toute autre plante cultivée, à l’exception de la canne à sucre. La pomme de terre reste sous-utilisée dans certains pays du Tiers-Monde, notamment en Afrique sub-saharienne, mais globalement sa consommation progresse dans les pays en développement, tandis que dans les pays développés elle tend à diminuer, basculant de plus en plus vers des formes transformées (produits appertisés, déshydratés ou surgelés).

La fécule de pomme de terre a donné naissance à une industrie de transformation aux multiples débouchés dans les secteurs agro-alimentaire, cosmétique, pharmaceutique et industriel.

Compte tenu de son importance économique, de nombreuses études scientifiques sur la pomme de terre et les espèces apparentées, notamment dans le domaine de la génétique, sont menées par des institutions publiques ou privées de différents pays, coordonnées au niveau mondial, entre autres, par le centre international de la pomme de terre.
