i was wondering, is there any reason all these techno / idm artists give their songs such odd names? it seems to be the most popular thing to do among them all from what i've seen.. songs like 'giggly dooper', 'baga wiz', 'nipnip', and so on.. those arent real im just giving examples anyone know why they do it though? |
||||||||

It's still better than "Move Your Body", or "Dance to the Music", or "Move to the Beat", or "Dance and Move your Body to the Beat of the Music". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea. Why they name the names they name their songs. I think it's mostly ramdom or the first word or word they think of when hearing the song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true, just curious as to why gibberish names though, seems a bit uncreative with as talented as some of the artists are with the music itself |
||||||||

Weng Treppy Tarlung sounds nice for sure. BONNNNNNG. Sorry. |

haha |

maybe its to discourage people using kazza/etc since most songs off of drukqs for example are harder to get than say songs off of SAW, mainly due to misspelling of names or not adding numbers or symbols,etc...SAWs tracks are easy to spell in comparason. |

Who's doin' the shootin'?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it is pointless i dont like it give me " shake it baby shake it " anytime just give the songs track 1 track 2 ...instead of hgdfk or bhggyt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... now its really just ridiculous.. its strange how people seem to stay stuck in that cliche.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
giggle and dance to the wiz music and move your nips! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the tracks mostly then show up in the form of "drukqs - 1, drukqs - 2 etc" so it doesn't really help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol great title there ;p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Move your body with your feet on the dance floor on a musical rhythm and I love you my darling hold me tight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe they don't want a description or a suggestion of what the track is meant to evoke? such as SAWII being all untitled. and gibberish track names might discourage prejudicial images floating thru the old noggin...*BLAH* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Paul, how do you come up with your titles anyway..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont write songs, but to me it would be easier to name songtitles where there's actual singing on them. as most idm artists only create instrumental tracks, i dont know how they would decide the titles with actual words. i cant imagine an autechre track titled "i wanna hold you hand" or "love me do"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but you can just use existing words.. ae mostly get their tracknames from individual soundfilenames.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like Ophecks said in another topic, autechre aren't so bad with their titles. those can somewhat make sense. but stuff like on Drukqs.. it's just crap scrambled up, to us at least, maybe not to rdj |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..wasn't it Cornish..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joga cocoon pluto songs by bjork that has nothing to do with titles sometimes nirvana has song titles that has nothing to do with the songs if they want to call their songs bgfhg they can but in amber that wasnt the case uziq and plaid have "proper" titles |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like I said on another topic two seconds ago, Autechre is my fave track namers... cool words that aren't unpronouncable or anything. BOC has cool track titles that conjured up mental images even before I heard the songs... this kind of skews my opinion when I'm listening to them, though, you know? I can't listen of 'Turqoise Hexagon Sun' without picturing some colorful sunrise or sunset, which is kind of annoying sometimes... |
||||||||

|
GASP! Good eye! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are most of the songs on Drukqs acctually cornish words? (rdj lives in cornwall) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i definitely agree though to some extent. i mean maybe like on just 1 or 2 albums you make up some screwball titles like Fidgjdjy Scrudk v38/3.x or whatever, but to continually do it on every single release.. it just looks like a lack of creativity then to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats what I thought.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To me, track titles are as unimportant as this issue. I can call them "Cool Trak" or "Fimligidlz Wathnielr V.213", it doesnt matter. I dont think its stupid or anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cornish words? so, "petiatil hx cditutudutu" or whatever is a real word? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's what I was meaning - the image is implanted beforehand. Alex, my track names - well, mostly I just think of a name that I like, then apply to a track ;) but some, like Worlds Within Worlds, are technical descriptions of the concept :D Blind Torture Kill was the name of a serial killer... a particular favourite of mine :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in my opinion though i just think if they go through all that work and effort to make such a great song, why not give it a proper title? i mean i can understand wanting to be different and have unusual names, but it seems like every idm artist does it now. somebody else made a good point though, if it's a rock band or some such, then giving it names like "love me do" makes sense, but since for the most electronic music doesn't have words, it would be a lot harder to think of a real name that fits |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BILE: Yes, thats the celtic language in symbols. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm well i didn't know that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sometimes (like in BOC's case) artists give their tracks titles that mean something to them - but might not mean anything to you. the DrukQs tracks are in Kernawek (sp?), an ancient Cornish dialect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but still, i was just giving Drukqs as an example of odd song titles squarepusher and basically every person on this mb who makes electronic music give their songs gibberish titles. i mean they look like gibberish to most people, whether it has meaning to the creator or not |
||||||||
|

if i ever do an album i'll call the tracks: 1. #*&fuck984984089weeeeeeePONG_*%!! 2. talking to a foamy mouse with wings in a boat made of dragon-proof silver 3. i am the mighty puyo of death and oblivion 4. -**/*-+** 5. untitled track #854895612084 (fruit salad and vinegar mix) 6. please listen to this track, it will make me very happy! 7. @ & é " ' ( § è ! ç à ) - 8. the best track in the world. 9. move your fucking beat along to your bodily music and cut your nails off before you dance inside my room 11. fuck off (remixed by me and my cat) 12. hymn to the glory of ellen feiss (a track i made when i was stoned) 13. bing bong ping pong weeeeeeee!!! @#&+***,/:=+ |

haha exactly what i was just saying |
||||||||
|

|
|
favourite trackname, favourite track or favourite serial killer? Paul, I'm afraid I have to hurry you, I need an answer, is it going to be A, B or C..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still, i dont care if the track is called "Love Man" or "Fecxwordjamxvlt39", if its a decent track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well that's true too, i mean if it's a great song then really the title doesn't matter in the long run. my original question though was just why they all seem to have to do it that way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BILE: Yeah, but if the title have importance to the creator, it doesnt matter if other knows what it is, right? I make tracks for myself in first hand, and i´d be suprised if others didnt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks. i had no idea the Drukqs tracks actually meant anything |
||||||||
|

serial killer name :P I've no idea who or how many he killed -- I just saw the name and thought "neato" :P |
||||||||

Merci, je sais que je suis un génie... |
||||||||

|

"neato" is a good word.. as you know, the titles I pick are dutch words and I pick those for how they sound and how they look when printed - not so much the meaning. |
