Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343.2 m/s, 1,125 ft/s, 768 mph, 667 knots, or 1,235 km/h. Speeds greater than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5) are often referred to as hypersonic. Flights during which only some parts of the air surrounding an object, such as the ends of rotor blades, reach supersonic speeds are called transonic. This occurs typically somewhere between Mach 0.8 and Mach 1.23.
Sounds are traveling vibrations in the form of pressure waves in an elastic medium. In gases, sound travels longitudinally at different speeds, mostly depending on the molecular mass and temperature of the gas, and pressure has little effect. Since air temperature and composition varies significantly with altitude, Mach numbers for aircraft may change despite a constant travel speed. In water at room temperature supersonic speed can be considered as any speed greater than 1,440 m/s (4,724 ft/s). In solids, sound waves can be polarized longitudinally or transversely and have even higher velocities.
Supersonic is a Hungarian indie rock band based in Budapest, Hungary formed in 2001. The band consists of members Balázs Bakó (vocals), Ádám Iliás (bass), Csaba Neményi (guitars), András Tóth (drums). Supersonic has been compared to bands like Primal Scream, The Verve and Kasabian.
In 2002 the band released their first official recording entitled Salty Feeling (Called Love). In 2003 Supersonic released Diving In Mad Seas. Besides playing at local clubs and festivals Supersonic played several shows in The United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland, France, The Czech Republic and Germany.
In 2009 Supersonic toured The United States playing gigs in Austin, Texas, on 20 March in San Angelo, Texas, on 23 March in Las Vegas, Nevada, on 25 March in Los Angeles, California on 26 March at The Method Fest in Sagebrush, California and on 27 March Los Angeles, California.
On 20 March 2009 Supersonic played at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas at the Club 115.
"Supersonic" is the debut single by the English rock band Oasis, written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. The song appears on their debut album Definitely Maybe, released in August 1994.
The song was released on 11 April 1994 and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart, Oasis's lowest-peaking single. However, over time it has amassed sales of over 215,000, making it their 13th biggest selling single ever in the UK, even outselling their 2002 number one "The Hindu Times", and both of their 2005 number ones, "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle".
"Supersonic" was also the band's first single to chart in the United States, where it peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on 10 December 1994. The song was performed by the band on their debut national TV performance on Channel 4's The Word. It remains a favourite song of both the band and their fans (on the Definitely Maybe DVD, Noel cites it as his favourite Oasis song). The single went silver in the UK in 2006.
Bass or Basses may refer to:
Bassé is a town in the Bourzanga Department of Bam Province in northern Burkina Faso. It has a population of 2,138.
In music theory, the bass note of a chord or sonority is the lowest note played or notated. If there are multiple voices it is the note played or notated in the lowest voice. (the note furthest in the bass) While the bass note is often the root or fundamental of the chord, it does not have to be, and sometimes one of the other pitches of the chord will be found in the bass. See: inversion (music).
In pre-tonal theory (Early music), root notes were not considered and thus the bass was the most defining note of a sonority. See: thoroughbass. In pandiatonic chords the bass often does not determine the chord, as is always the case with a nonharmonic bass.
It’s the…
Impression, devotion, surrounds our heart and soul
What is it, it’s the sound of supersonic bass
Sensation, creation, of them you’ll never know
What is it, it’s the sound of supersonic bass
A standing ovation, with that your heart and soul
When you hear the sound of supersonic bass
This start into the heart
It’s lighting up my eyes
It’s filling up my days
It’s now here to stay
Stay!
Impression, devotion, surrounds our heart and soul
What is it, it’s the sound of supersonic bass
