nice

for real though, this is what the son of your son of your
son is gonna face

there will be amazing music in the future, but as for the
present..

i don't see a gleam of of hope

how come that in 2010 years of cristian hystory nobody
thought about thightening the line between music and
language? why founding it upon numbers? when music is a
language itself? mind you, it's not only a contradiction in
terms.
you get this at least?

or, i must be well insane

There are several languages built explicitly to express
music. There's traditional notation, guitar tabs, Csound,
whatever. They're mostly based on maths (but all grammars
are mathematical in some way), but you'll find scores that
are more vague and open to interpretation than others, if
that's what you're looking for.

I don't know, you seem to have very muddled concepts about

i want something that classifies similarities between
different domains of sound (big or small), and learn to
build interesting context that way, not to improvise all the
time

for example

the sound of an aereoplane's engine correspond to a
glissando

it's like saying 'with this blue pencil you can draw a sea'

maybe, but when you manage to find some sense, it won't be
that hard to grasp

By the way, "music is a language itself" is mostly not true.
Music as it exists now in our culture at least. If it is a
language it has the most culturally biased and noisiest
encoding of all times.

ok this argument seems pretty reatrded, mostly because you
guys are arguing about different things.

mohamed wants some kind of notation for SOUND, not music.
like darius said, music notation has existed since long
before christ, and is constantly evolving.

but sound in itself is simply too complex to notate
accurately. youd need some way to draw a constantly changing
spectrogram (which, really, if you want some kind of visual
notation of sound, that's it) for each millisecond of sound
you which to annotate.

unless humans develop drastically different ears (or some
other sound sensing organ), we're never going to really get
beyond words like "harsh," "lush," "loud," "tinny," etc.

Points: 31145 Status: Regular | Show recordbag



what?

you instead, seems to be lacking the basis

what the fuck is music if it's not organized sound. it's not
about talking about notation or spectosomething, it's about
learning to recognize sound forms in a more realistic,
humanistic, less professionistic way than your fucking tech
talk.

you're just able to list yuor fucking devices, and you don't
even know what the fuck are you doing on a more MUSICAL
level

fuck that, let's just assume i'm a bitch

tech talk? im pretty sure music notation has existed since
long before modern technology has.

so you want a music notation that's just... what? less
accurate? i'm pretty sure that's what the adjectives i said
before are.

what do you mean by "a more MUSICAL level?" seriously,
you're just talking gibberish, it's like listening to a
politician skirt around subjects about which they know
nothing.

"what the fuck is music if it's not organized sound."

exactly my point. you take sound, and organize it. the way
you annotate that organization of bits of sound is with
musical notes. beyond that, you can describe the timbre, or
quality of the sound, and that's where natural language
comes in, because the timbre of a sound can infinitely vary,
and is in most practical cases unquantifiable.

you ask for a way to differentiate between "big" and "small"
sounds. now first, ignoring the insanely vague quality of
what a "big" or "small" sound is. what's wrong with "big"
and "small." you want a way to discuss music in
non-quantified terms? aren't we already doing that in
english?

NO, WE AREN'T DISCUSSING.

lets just talk about the nth boring release, i'm not here to
impose anything.

i already have my verifications. won't be sharing them
anymore.

you do realize that discussion is merely the exchange of
information right? the entire purpose of a language is to
discuss things. you want to convey information about sound
through some other language - how is this not discussion?

I don't know, you seem to have very muddled concepts about
whatever it is you're thinking about.

okay wait, i've read back through the thread.

is all this based on you denying that music is fundamentally
math? because if so i can see why this has gone absolutely
nowhere.

i annotate nothing. i just go by recognizing timbres

beyond that, you can describe the timbre, or
quality of the sound, and that's where natural language
comes in, because the timbre of a sound can infinitely vary,

and is in most practical cases unquantifiable.


i don't know what to say

"small"
sounds. now first, ignoring the insanely vague quality of
what a "big" or "small" sound is.


when i started wondering how insanely vague is, you were't
born yet
