ok several questions. 1. Do you think there are any real music geniuses that are around today? 2. people consider all these classical composers genius, like mozart, bach, beethoven etc etc. Do you think aphex twin, or anyone else for that matter will be remembered this way? are they the equivilant to the older ones? 3. If the composers from the past where born in this time, what style of music do you think theyd be making? |

Genius is a difficult thing to quantify. But in my definition I would say that it does exist. The real question is do you think that the people who survive the test of time will truly reprisent our generation? |

do you think any musician can be compared to einstein? no then no musician is a genius |

I don't think richard is a genious. A very good musician, but not a genious... not by a mile... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
how do you mean? do mean, that the people that are credited as genius, in the future, are people we dont really care for ... like god forbid britney spears? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
genius is all about paradigm shifts in the way we view the world, no musician has ever done that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

There is genious, and there is: musical genious. Richard is definately a musical genious. I consider him just as good as beethoven, bach, etc. |

1. all depends on what you call a genius... i don't really have an opinion about this :) 2. aphex twin will be remembered some time, but not like classical music geniuses... these will probably never be forgotten. aphex will someday. :( 3. maybe they just wouldn't make music at all :) but i don't see any problem with them trying to make electronic music for example... it wouldn't suprise me at all :) (it would surprise some classical fans who think classical music is the only "real" music... arrogant bastards ;)) |

classical music pisses all over IDM though, check out philip glass for example |

i think id have to say RDJ is a genius he really pushed boundries and did stuff no one else did. and he did it well in addition, he also made ALOT of material. Quality, and Quantity! i dont know if he will be remembered though. but then again... how do we know who will? will the famous avante garde people be remembered? they did new things, but they dont a mass public audience (just like RDJ)... so will they be overlooked? |

no way jose! even mozart isn't considered a genius! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes he is! he composed all of his work in his head he went to a symphony by someone else, went home, and transcribed the entire peice from memory, without flaw thats genius man |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
zeus, you misunderstand the term genius, he was very gifted, but no genius |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are different types of genius he was a musical genius he wasnt einstein genius. einstein was a scientific genius |
||||||||
|

quivvuulum... genius is something subjective, no one can definitely affirm "this man is a genius, this one isn't"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then let it be... :) |

there so many different types of intelligence, and therefore so many different types of genius - mozart had the genius of being able to listen complicated polyphonic works, return home and write out the musical score note for note, perfectly... for example, whilst a youngster, he was invited to the Vatican, where he heard Allegre's miserere: at the time, not permitted to be played outwith the vatican -- mozart returned home after hearing it and wrote it out -- now that's what i call genius (volume 1) |

exactly! |

i have a real weakness for brilliant music made by brilliant people! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
genius can mean someone who excels in a certain field beyond many others in the same field ....so u don't have to be a scientist to be a genius...you could be a creative or musical genius... if Mozart was alive i think he probablly would've put to use synths and samplers in his music...if he was a true genius like they say he probablly would've wanted to use the infinite number of sounds and possibilities electronics can provide in his music... Richard James IS a genius |
||||||||

|
|
well, for what ever tits worth, i have a weakness for brilliant music too hahahaha get it? tits worth its worth your name is ti- oh nevermind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
keep in mind a lot of the composers revered as geniuses today weren't popular or appreciated until their death |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

in terms of the actual definition of a genius (i.e. an IQ of 150 or above) i'd have to guess yes, he is: whether he is as naturally musically gifted as some great composers i doubt it, but he is probably a better writer than most classical musicians: lots of classical music only sounds impressive because it is being played by an orchestra |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, motzart was socially inept and strange, and motzart failed most of his exams cos they were both too weighted towards one particular skill... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think history will remember: The Beatles; Nirvana; Whoever comes along and sparks the next big thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually believe richard and thom yorke are the greatest musical geniouses EVER |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um jingle. yr brain fell out yr bum. 'lots of classical music only sounds impressive because it is being played by an orchestra' guess who scored the whole fricking orchestra? my IQ = 182 IQ means nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ok then, try playing a symphony on a shitty old sound card then: it sounds like shit: then try it with certain pieces and it sounds wicked: give me a healthy royal wage, a harpsichord and loads of paper and i could do that shit easy: go download a classical music midi file and take it apart and you will see how cruddy the harmonies are at times... |

dude... your killin me *composition major* :) |

McCartney is a genious, although that was in his youth... but he's alive, at least. I think Aphex Twin is a genious... I don't think Autechre are, even though I like them more, I think. They're too static. Even though they go further and improve, I mean, are they REALLY going much further? Hell, EP7 freaks me out and feels more fucked up than Gantz Graf. And it's still the same ''machine-pshycho-lack of emotion IS an emotion'' stuff. Richard does it all, and does it all well, a jack of all trades, darlin'. |

IQ is measured on a scale of 0-170. 170 is the highest attainable score. That's how it works. The Unabomber hit 170; many people have--one cannot get a higher score than that by a legitimate IQ test. |

"genius is all about paradigm shifts in the way we view the world" Substitute "music" for "world" and you will have a musical genius, which is what RDJ has done so he is a musical genius. |

I... I am GENUIS |

what is afs' IQ anyway? who the heck is nirvana? ive heard of them but not actually heard them. and as for the term genious- i beleive it is totally a matter of opinion- people with a high iq could sit on their asses all their life, a high intellegence doesnt make u a genious....inventing something or changing someones view on life might be, but again its your own opinion and experience if soeone had changed your life or not.....in my opinion afx is not a genious, but i wont object to anyone saying he is. |

...never heard nirvana Bob Mcbob? are you serious? :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha BOB, you gotta be kidding me. EVERYONE'S HEARD OF NIRVANA! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
are they some rock band? |
||||||||
|
|

I fucking hope for your fucking sake that your fucking kidding....you are, right? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Hey Bob! Have you heard of the Beatles? some old group out of England.... :-P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BTW its Genius NOT Genious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

autechre are definitely music geniuses- their sound is the sound of future. "confield" and richard's "saw 2" are symptoms of musical genius- 2 most important and difficult albums not only of modern electronica. |

spookyluke: i don't know what interent IQ iest site you got yr info from, but IQ isn't capped at 170! there have been a few individuals who have scored around 200. jingle: you have a lot to learn, and i highly doubt that even with a sound card you could right a symphony that had one tenth the intimacy and stellar power of any of the weakest composer's. kindly remove yr head from yr arse. genius is a relative term. |

hmm Jimi Tenor? Vincent Gallo ? |

I laugh when sports people are called geniuses. In the paper I work for Rivaldo was called a genius cos he chested the ball down and turned and scored with his left foot. I practices all day and is a left footed player. This is simply a machanical movement of the body. Genius my arse ! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

I don't think RDJ is a true genius musically maybe a genius of his image and marketing more like still, very very talented guy |
||||||||
