why do you take photos of old decrepit buildings (and the
people who are subjected to live in them)

I can barely lend a glimpse to your self portrait
here. Your gaze is horridly open and true yet
inscrutable. It makes me feel like a homeless begger on the
streets of New York as you pass by to some hip high paying
job, forever reminded that some are better than others...

Yeah, I was a bit tipsy when I wrote that discription of
your self portrait. It was meant to be complimentary. But
there is something very powerful about it. Good work. Is
this going to be your profession, photography? Wisconsin. Is
that considered the Mid West? I hate the Mid West. Back to
the West Coast for me when school is all done.

No, i'm working on a political-science degree actually...I
want to be a teacher but the secondary-education program at
my university is very selective, taking just 15 students a
year, and I can't afford to go out of state and I wouldn't
go to a different in-state campus...so if I'm not admitted
next year, I'll have to obtain a post-baccalaureate
certification to teach in a high school. Or do something
different...I really don't know.

Wisconsin is a beautiful state (yes I'm sure it's considered
a mid-western state), but i wouldn't rule out leaving it for
the right job.

I think it'll work out for you, but I must say that it seems
that you're not totally committed.

If you do become a teacher you'll probably be that cool type
of teacher that is meek and a bit prudish, but ends up
inspiring a young depressed girl with your photography and
stories of electronic music adventures. Just keep xltronic
out of the discussion, it'll ruin your reputation and
respect.

No, no, no! Well, um, you know, like your talents are hidden
behind the typical teacher stereotype so they are a suprise
to the depressed girl that you INSPIRE. Did I mention that
you would be COOL also. Besides--come on, you are a bit meek
and maybe a little prudish. Nothing wrong with that. :) A
movie will be made about your revolutionary teaching
accomplishments. It'll be called "Ms. Mimi's..." I can't
think of the rest, but you get the jist of it.

I am female. And acting different from what when concerning
males? If you don't like "how this place creeps out every
single female that happens to chance upon it" then fucking
leave. It's just the fucking internet.

By the way, some Spanish composers played their compositions
at my University. They were horrible. There was this one
piece for piano and oboe. When the piece openned with the
pianist slamming his forearms into the piano keys I knew the
night would be a disappointment. And it was.

I bet I could kick your ass in real life.

In general, I wish most social interactions were more gender
ignorant. It's really primitive, and really bothers me.
And no I won't leave, I'll just troll.

I basically don't know any spanish composers. My listening
has been very myopic lately. Ha, in fact the most recent
'spanish' music I listened to was by ravel. de falla has
some nice things.

I don't really go to concerts any more. Only one in the
last half year, excepting friends' performances, but that
was emmanuel ax just because my friends know him..

I guess I'm pretty boring, my favorite piano listen has been
a really nice recording of scriabin 3 I've enjoyed for a
long time..

The thing I don't understand is why is this "atonal"
fixation still around? It's all about "cool" sounds,
plucking piano strings and such. It's just stupid. Art music
200 + years old could convey a wealth of emotion within a
few measures while this souless garbage has wierd and cool
sounds. Ohhh.

The pianist would do some stupid florish, I don't know what
it's called, dragging your finger across the white keys and
sometimes only the accidentals. It was juvenile. And it
seemed that there was no rhyme or reason to most of the
playing. Oh, but he was fucking sight reading like it was
some great piece of literature. I don't think you could
notate half of what was played. Music has died.

There's actually a pretty strong reaction to atonal music
these days; if you look at composition instruction at
conservatories, it's reverting to a great extent.

There's a lot of value in the general approach in modern
music, which in practice wasn't really realized. Basically,
with late romantic music onwards, structure became very
arbitrary, and lots of atonal music attempts to explore new
structure. The problem of course is that this structure is
often selected equally arbitrarily, and EVEN WORSE without
any consideration of the human ear. Add to that people
trying to get attention. As a result you have piles of
gunk.

But I respect the attempt, even though most of it sucked.

I think that's part of the problem. This exploration of "new
structure" or "structurelessness" disregards creating
emotions with music. It turns music purely to mechanics, not
a way to affect an audience, a way to convey feelings
through sounds. And complex feelings at that. I can imagine
these composers saying to themselves what would happen if
they did such and such which is totally different from the
norm or if they didn't do such and such, that they would be
so inovative. How about telling me how you feel with notes.
Yeah, how about that? And if their feelings are represented
by a tone cluster then I feel sorry for them.

Anyway, time for exercise bike and some sleep.

Don't you think tonal music is just as arbitrary, and the
"emotions" you get out of it are purely culturally defined?

*bangs own head against the wall*

"It turns music purely to mechanics, not a way to affect

i could write quite a lot in response to that, but it pretty
much boils down to what what fabien (dariusgriffin) said.

not only culturally, but also personally historically. I'm
also not sure if music is an attempt to convey feelings at
all, at least not for me.. it's more about doing what I
enjoy and that can range from mindless improvisation over
the simplest scales with the only result being a cheesy
movie soundtrack melody for a meadow panorama shot to
experiments with layering the sound of nothing but
everything (ambience) with itself or something simple like
just reversing the entire track and putting it over itself
going forward.
