Calling all musical revolutionaries :)
 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-09-30 04:19 [#00037892]



Dear AphexTwin.nu'ers,

i've been hanging round here for a fair while now...don't
post much, just read your interesting posts...anyway, i'm
starting a musical community / group sort of thing for music
/ art makers...i think something like this was discussed
earlier, but i'm looking to get a community of music makes
of non-repetitive electronica / classical / turntablist
music, because i fear that music has gotten to the point
where minimalism had gone to far into mindless repetition.
Music makers tend to rely too much on catchy loops and over
use melodies / harmonies to get their music out
their...thats why i'm looking for a group of musicians who
feel the same way to compose music in a new non-repetitive
way...this doesn't mean that no repetition should be used,
as a theme is usually the backbone of the song and deserves
to come back at some stage, but i think you all get what i'm
trying to say...

i'm sending this "call" to you AphexTwin.nu'ers, as i know
you have a great taste for experimental / GOOD music, and
i'm also going to call upon Dj Shadow type composers to
join...

Artists who compose interesting / off the wall art and would
like to contribute to the community are also VERY welcome
:)

I'm thinking of calling the style of music "Cephalic
Avantgarde Progression", or "CAP" for short...

anyone even slightly interested, if you could write either
to the list or my e-mail, that'd be great :)

if you would like a sample of the sort of music 'I' compose,
then you can check out
www.stormpages.com/cheapmagnet/index.htm for some 30 second
samples of a few songs...once i get the ftp server on the
site to work i'll be uploading full songs

i'll get a proper website and so fourth for us if we get
this idea up and running,

thanx in advance :)

Cheap Magnet

I'm in love with that introduction song to your page! It's
simple like Super Nintendo, and I like how it loops forever
like a videogame too. I don't think I can play .rf or
whatever files so I won't bother downloading them even
though I'd like to hear them. I have some non repetitive
stuff at www.mp3.com/artificialselection, like "asexual
spore releasing hyper bloomer", a lot of people on here have
great non repetitive music I think. I guess non
repetitiveness is a good way to judge accurately whether
something sounds good to me. But I also like symmetry in
art, and for that you need repetition, by definition. I
think complexity is usually a defining characteristic I
like, but the definition of that is just something that's
hard to understand (due to too many involved parts for
example) The best stuff is complex but composed with
symmetry, in some logical form.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-09-30 04:49 [#00037897]



i went to that link you posted there, is that your music?
it's the shit! i love it!


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-09-30 04:49 [#00037898]



i totally agree :) i love complexity in music as well...and
your symmetry comment is very valid. I'm going to check out
your music next month (when i get more download megs), which
i'm looking foward too...if you, or anybody else for that
matter, is interested in seriously having a go at this sort
of community thing (not to challenge Reflex's one at
all!!!), then leave your names either on this board or send
me an e-mail :)


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-09-30 04:50 [#00037899]



whoops, i think i posted a little late then :) it was to

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-09-30 04:54 [#00037901]



magnet, i love your music! its amazing! i have been
searching for this kind of music ever sinse i got the net! i
really mean it when i say your music is amazing! keep up the
good work!

and i do make music, its shit. i am still learning how to
use my software... sigh


 

Mm...MMmW...((mmMmm))...WmMM...mM on 2001-09-30 05:03 [#00037903]



If you were referring to artificialselection, thanks. I
checked your art page and it took FOREVER to load... but I
got the top 3 pictures. I admit computers are excellent
tools, I mean it's primitive for me to use a big clumsy
pencil, it's hard for me to compete with the computer. When
you use a computer you are sort of using someone elses
invention to to the work. (I'm using someone elses
invention, the pencil, though...) I've done some tinkering
in paint shop and stuff so I know how easy it is to make
great looking complex stuff, it's kind of like the computer
made it, not a person. This really doesn't matter as long as
the art is interesting... but since so many people can make
interesting stuff really easy, it has less value. Obviously,
you can still make some really original stuff and spend a
lot of time on it with a computer. Your stuff was great. I
don't really know how the creation process went, time
consuming detail or one click special effects, but its nice
to look at and that's what matters.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-09-30 05:07 [#00037904]



thanks, m. i should have spent some time to make each pic a
page, but i am lazy and hate html. i think my favorite pic
is near the bottom, too bad you couldnt see it.


 

Mm...MMmW...((mmMmm))...WmMM...mM on 2001-09-30 05:16 [#00037905]



Notice how the clarifying word "the" works: his music is
"the shit" and your music is "shit"... hmmm, heh heh.

Sure, I'm officially interested in this thingamajig as long
as I don't have to spend very much of my own personal
effort, heh heh heh.


 

BEANZ from http://darkscape.topcities.com on 2001-09-30 05:24 [#00037906]

Cheap Magnet on 2001-09-30 11:41 [#00037931]



i don't know...we are hopfully starting a new strand of
music, rather then gathering talented musicians in current
genres of music


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-09-30 15:28 [#00037955]



god damn, i just got home from work and i had to listen to
the songs i downloaded again.... i just have to say magnet,
your music is the bomb, i can definatly say i am fan! you

post, they usually ain't that bad. i am going to bed now.

Yah, I think joining is up to you, eh?


 

CHilled on 2001-09-30 18:33 [#00037972]



non repetitive? well,im out then...heh


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-10-01 01:30 [#00038033]



Reflex said "you cant just create a new kind of music"

WHAT on earth do u mean by that?!? why can't we make a new
kind of music?? is there a moral law against it? I'm not
here to start an arguement, just so find other talent
interested in making a new style of electronic / classical /
turntablist non-repetitive music, as i said above...i think
we have full right to see this through, as it isn't
conflicting with Community Vibes.


 

plastic raver on 2001-10-01 01:36 [#00038036]



would it be a new extremity?


 

plastic raver on 2001-10-01 01:49 [#00038043]



true, to an extent but it's a bit defeatest giving up all
hope of doing something new. It's using what you've got for
a different purpose ie turntablism, electronics, wood etc
everyone using the same music programs doesn't help as the
parameters are set by such nerds.


 

plastic raver on 2001-10-01 01:50 [#00038044]



ps. it could be a new extremity.


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-10-01 01:52 [#00038046]



i get your point Reflex, but its like any arguement about
"new" ideas...everythings a branch of something else, no
ideas can be formulated, only extensions off current ones,
etc etc...ok, fine. What i PROBABLY should have said was
"hi, i'm Cheap, i want to get other composers to SPECIALISE
in creating 'non-repetative' music. Yes, this has been done
before, but VERY rarely, and if you look at the songs around
you, try and find a good non-repetative song. Not too many?
Ok, now, i love non-repetative music, so how bout we take
this "IDEA" and extend it "FURTHER". we aren't creating a
new idea or new 'type of music', but we are taking something
that hasn't been done much or well to a new extreme...thats
what i hope to do. you ok with that Reflex?


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-10-01 01:54 [#00038047]



Plastic Raver: how bout you be my spokesperson? You can say
exactly what i'm thinking in a few lines compared to me
raving on for dozens :) hehe


 

plastic raver on 2001-10-01 01:57 [#00038048]



~8)


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-10-01 01:59 [#00038050]



Quadrapelegicrobotikev: i love EeHKL. very nice :) if your
interested in joining, write to me at
synchronicity_music@hotmail.com and let me know, because i
like what your doing. you took that repeating melody to what
i'd say is the most something should be repeated too
(personal opinion, of course). well done.


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-10-01 02:02 [#00038051]



Mm...MMmW...((mmMmm))...WmMM...mM: i tried to listen to that
song u mentioned, the alien plant one, but i couldn't stream
it :/ any chance of a download from somewhere of it?


 

pavane on 2001-10-01 02:12 [#00038054]



I'm doing some non repetative music that is influenced by
debussy, ravel, Aphex, LFO and a sprinkling of Ae


 

Cheap Magnet on 2001-10-01 03:45 [#00038057]



pavane: sounds good...Debussy is great :) and everyone loves
Bolero :P
do u have any of your songs up on the net?


 

Mm...MMmW...((mmMmm))...WmMM...mM on 2001-10-01 04:35 [#00038058]



Cheap: Now I remember I tried to send you an mp3 awhile back
but it was too large to send, well that song is at my page
www.artificialselection "whiet ziella", I think I forgot to
tell you, if you even remember. And I made "asexual spore
releasing hyper bloomer" downloadable, but it might take
awhile till mp3com approves it. The latter mentioned song is
completely non-repetitive due to the nature of it's
construction, it's not exactly the same twice (except for
the brief melody bits), which is why I mentioned it. I have
your link written down, so I'll check it on my other
computer (really impressed with that intro brief song)
whenever I move out and GET it...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-10-01 06:12 [#00038063]



m, you are artificial selection?


 

Mm...MMmW...((mmMmm))...WmMM...mM on 2001-10-01 07:40 [#00038069]



No... wait, yes. (I think)
