A hypothetical one that is... If you had to choose between never being able to hear another person's music again (you could still go to places with music, you'd just not hear it) or never make/hear your own stuff ever again, which would it be? |
||||||||

never hear/make my own stuff ever again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely never make/hear my own stuff again. i don't take my music seriously at all. i mean, i make it for a laugh, and if it was all the music i could ever hear again i'd go mad in a second :P |
||||||||
|
|

|

Oh, shit. I don't know. I'll have to think about it, thank you for ruining my evening. |

i'd rather hear others. i've been thinking of this in my head from time to time. mainly because i've considering getting a laptop or possibly some new hardware but in the long run i think it may be a waste. i may be better off just buying cds with the money because i enjoy listening to music pretty much all the time. |

id rather be able to hear music then make it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never listen to others that way my music would be uninfluenced (well, no more then what it has been already) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess I would quit whistling to listen to autechre, and bach and mervin floren's 24 polkas greatest hits. |

*enter all the jabs, and pretentious comments* |

being influenced is a good thing, though. |

I don't want to sound bigheaded- and I'm not for a second saying my music is good... but I'd go for hearing my own music. Not so much for playing it back, but I really enjoy making it. It's even better escapism than videogames. Also, I reckon if you could only hear your own music, you'd start to make some wicked stuff after a few years out of neccessity. Fun Fact: Elvis claims that he intentionally avoided listening to other people's music so he wouldn't be influenced by them. (I'm not sure at which stage in his career this applied) |

to an extent. |

eh, I was being serious while trying to make a joke, I'd much rather hear other people's, no one person can think up all the different types of sound and structure, they'd be missing out on a lot, it would be like being color blind only worse |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hearing other people's stuff and being influenced by it is just part of the learning process. most development of own style follows on from emulation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would just be so fucking boring only listening to my stuff for the rest of my days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but at a certain point, Id argue youd have enough influence to find your own voice. obviously, its not an ideal situation, never hearing other music again... but these are the choices, and Im just saying... I rather listen to my own... because 1. a lack of music would force me to make more diverse music (and in more quantity), to fufill an appitite of varied music, and 2. I love making music. This way, I can write music, and listen to it. Instead of just listening. |
||||||||

I would just miss being surprised. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know about this, Im too involved with my 1 band, and even the other one, as well as my own personal tunes to want to say no to it, but I cant say, I guess in the ultimate end id have to say that I would want to never hear my own stuff again, I guess.... ugh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but there will hardly ever be any surprise left in listening, only in the making process. which, like Clic says, would make listening to music pretty boring. I need to hear different perspectives, something outside of myself, or I'd just kind of grind down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fair enough we just differ in our choices. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd probably just want to listen to my stuff. I'd really miss listening to other people's music, but i really enjoy making music. i like the feeling of creating something i also really enjoy listening to. and i like the feeling of accomplishment when i notice my ability improving or as i develop new methods, learn new software and learn to play more instruments. it's also a good outlet for stress. it calms me, i'm generally happy when i'm composing. |

i would rather listen to music. |

id hate to lose either, but i think it would be worse if i couldnt make music anymore. |

depends on if you'd suddenly forget all the music you've ever listened to already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Damn that's a tough one! I would go for "not hear my own music again"... But I might go mad cos it's my only creative outlet... Add to that I work in music anyway and it'd be like cutting off a limb to lose the ability to hear my own music... Dammit, I'd have to go with "never hear other peoples' music again", not cos I want to, but cos I'd go mad otherwise and would have to find a new career. It is the best form of escapism too - I'm into videogames too, but I always end up frustrated and often more stressed out than when I started... Especially with F-Zero! |

i love my own music, but i'm not a proper composer and there is a far greater variety and volume of music that's made by other people. i enjoy listening to the finished music much more than the process of making music, which is tedious and time consuming. there are other creative outlets as well. how could i compare to bach? the master musicians of jajouka? steve reich? boc? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find it quite hard to hear anything since i ate my left ear and sliced my right ear off with an angle grinder. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with where i am atm with my music id say 'not to hear my music again' but if this was a year from now id say 'not to listen to anybody else' because hopefully by then i will have developed as a arstist/musician/whatever to enjoi it properly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to say I'd rather continue to make it, cause whenever I listen to a CD it always puts me in the mood to start creating new stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what would you do if you couldnt hear the cd how would you create? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can be REALLY good, but you'll never be as diverse as the rest of the world. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and no matter how much music there is in the world, none of it will feel the same as music you've writen. we can go back and forth on this all day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly. well said. hooray! etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO ! WE CAN'T! for it is boring. AND.... (wait for it..) ..Idontevenhaveacomputer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
obviously, depends on the person. such is life eh. yeah either way really. hard to say. i love listening to music not made by me, and i love making stuff. but i think its safe to say that this situation will never arise. least i hope not. dont test me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im just saying, listening to your own music is a different feeling... because you made it... so you have more of a bond with it. Its something you can be proud of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im in full agreement with that but sometimes it can hinder you because you hear every pop, click or whatever you have made and others may not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, of course. But it does have its up side |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i might have wanted to use grammer in that message :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely hear my own stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

He he, the nearest to a "Christmas argument" we had this year was when I screamed at F-zero in triumph after finally beating samurai goroh (about the 100th attempt) it made my mum jump and we had a slight row over it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha yeah that one took me a while! I think I'm stuck on the one just after that now where you're in this impossible race with about 12 other cars and you've got to come first... Been stuck on it for the last month! I swear that game's just too hardcore sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep- that's the one I'm stuck on... Considering I've played the N64 version to death, I thought it'd be a lot easier than it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine of course |
||||||||
|
|

|
> being influenced is a good thing, though. everything you are, you owe it to others, so you better think it's a good thing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
> I would just miss being surprised. same here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like my ideas & creations & soundscapes & "music"... I am really disappointed in a lot of other peoples work that if I could never hear it again, I think I would be much better off. Making music is something I cherish. Much more than listening to other peoples form of communication which I can not understand. |
